Not following the expected path? Reborn and unexpectedly married to a demon.

Dongfang Mingyue settled down in Luo Fei's house.

Luo Fei explained the sect's teachings to her every day.

Starting with the basics, and gradually progressing to more advanced topics.

He originally intended to use this knowledge to keep Dongfang Mingyue by his side, slowly explaining it to her under the moonlit flowers, which would take at least a year.

But to everyone's surprise, Dongfang Mingyue was so focused on learning that she didn't make a single mistake.

Dongfang Mingyue's intelligence also exceeded Luo Fei's expectations; not only was she serious, but she could also organize things.

She mastered these things, which he had been learning haphazardly for a long time, in less than ten days.

She also explained to him clearly what he hadn't understood before.

What Luo Fei had learned at his master's school was no longer enough to teach her.

For the first time, Luo Fei regretted not studying properly in his master's school.

"Is there anything else? If not, I'm leaving," Dongfang Mingyue asked.

That's what they said, but they didn't actually intend to leave.

Over the past ten days, Luo Fei has grown to like Mingyue even more than before and is enjoying these days.

Upon hearing that Dongfang Mingyue was leaving, he immediately panicked.

If he misses this opportunity, he may never see Mingyue again.

After thinking for a while, he taught Dongfang Mingyue some things that were not to be passed on to outsiders, and in return, he got Dongfang Mingyue to stay with him for ten days.

Ten days later, he had nothing left to teach Dongfang Mingyue.

"Mingyue, you are truly talented. I have already taught you everything I know."

Dongfang Mingyue asked, "Is there really nothing else?"

Luo Fei rummaged through boxes and cabinets looking for things left by his master. The boxes were full of old and worn-out books and magical artifacts, and they were covered in dust when he took them out.

Dongfang Mingyue could tell that Luo Fei truly disliked this path, which was why he had always avoided these things.

He asked, "If you don't like it, why do you insist on learning it? Can't you resist your family's decision? Even if you don't resist, don't you have any other brothers and sisters? Let them go."

Luo Fei frowned as he thought of his family background. "I have many brothers, so many that I can't even recognize them all, but we were all powerless to resist, so we never even thought about resisting."

Dongfang Mingyue didn't speak, and a picture fell out of a book that had been thrown on the table.

She reached out and picked it up; it was half a map. Maps of Dazheng were common and not unusual.

But this one made Dongfang Mingyue stare at it for a long time without saying a word. It not only showed the Great Zheng, but also several surrounding countries.

Several places on the map are circled and marked, something many people have done before.

However, the location of this map note is somewhat strange; these places seem familiar:

Shouyuan Village of Mianshui, Yinhe Village on the outskirts of Jiangzhou, Jiegu Valley where Laiwu Town and Dazheng meet Langzhong to the south.

It is unknown whether any locations were marked on the other half of the torn map.

"And the other half?" Dongfang Mingyue asked.

Luo Fei shook his head. "I don't know. My master gave it to me. I don't know when this half of a map got mixed in. There are plenty of these kinds of maps. I'll go out and buy a couple later."

Seeing that Luo Fei didn't care about anything, Dongfang Mingyue rolled her eyes. The person who took him as a disciple was truly unfortunate for his sect.

Before, she definitely wouldn't have noticed anything, but after learning Taoist theories for a while, Dongfang Mingyue began to sense that something was amiss.

These places correspond to the four directions in the Bagua (Eight Trigrams), and two of these places, Yinhe and Shouyuanmancun, were killed.

There are many coincidences in this world, but not that many.

"This map is quite old. Did you draw it or did your master draw it?" Dongfang Mingyue asked.

"Indeed, these things are quite old. My master gave them to me five years ago, so I suppose I already had them back then."

"Your grandmaster is Qi Tianqing, so is your master Qi Tianbai or Qi Tianlan?" Dongfang Mingyue asked after thinking for a moment.

"No, my master is Qi Tianhuang," Luo Fei said truthfully.

Upon hearing the name, Dongfang Mingyue instinctively said, "Wasn't Qi Tianhuang expelled from the sect?"

Luo Fei was taken aback, scratched his head, and said, "No, my master just travels a lot, but he wasn't expelled from the sect. Mingyue, how did you know that?"

Luo Fei felt that Mingyue knew too much about his sect, as she could even call out the names of his uncles and grand-uncles.

Dongfang Mingyue looked at the half-finished map in her hand and muttered to herself, "I wasn't expelled from the sect before, but I'll be soon. I need to demand an explanation."

She needed to think more about what was going on when she heard that it was Qi Tianbai and Qi Tianqing, but when she heard that it was Qi Tianhuang, that evil Taoist, those tragic events must be related to him.

She knew it! How could Qi Tianqing's disciples be associated with Feng Zhe?

He actually took Feng Zhe's son as a disciple and got involved in the affairs of the court.

But if it were Qi Tianhuang, it would make sense.

Luo Fei didn't hear clearly, "Mingyue, what did you say?"

"I mean, I've heard that Wangchen Mountain has beautiful scenery, is good for health and well-being, and is a paradise. I'm curious about what makes it so?"

"By the way, did your master only take you as his disciple?"

"No, he has other disciples. Someone like me has never been interested in this. If my family hadn't forced me, I wouldn't have gone. I definitely wouldn't have been able to inherit his mantle. It's just that I entered the sect too early and left too early, so I don't know who came after me."

Luo Fei answered truthfully.

"The Daoist arts are profound. I can take you to Wangchen Mountain to see my master and grandmaster, and study with you there." Luo Fei's wishful thinking was aimed at his sect.

His beloved Mingyue was unusually interested in what he was learning, and if she were to learn it, he could accompany her along the way.

We traveled through mountains and rivers, deliberately taking detours to several places before finally arriving at Wangchen Mountain.

On Wangchen Mountain, I can continue to stay by her side, and in that way, the days and months we spend together can be much longer.

Even if she doesn't like him now, seeing her every day and spending time with her might eventually lead to feelings developing.

Dongfang Mingyue smiled and said, "I really would like to go and see it sometime in the future, but everyone says that Wangchen Mountain is mysterious and impossible to find. You didn't just make up a place to trick me into staying with you, did you?"

Luo Fei felt a little guilty and quickly said, "It really is Wangchen Mountain. I've been up there for quite some time and know the way like the back of my hand. I would never lie to you."

"I don't believe you unless you mark the route on a map for me," Dongfang Mingyue shook her head.

"Alright, as long as you trust me, I'll do as you say. Anyway, once we get to the foot of Wangchen Mountain, we'll need someone to guide us up."

Luo Fei took out a new map and marked the location and route of Wangchen Mountain.

Dongfang Mingyue put away the map and said, "I'll invite you to go together when I'm in the mood, since I can't go up by myself anyway."

Luo Fei was overjoyed to receive Dongfang Mingyue's promise, "Good, good, good! I'll accompany you wherever you want to go, Mingyue!"

As Dongfang Mingyue left, she couldn't help but remind him, "You must never tell anyone about the sect's secrets, or you might bring disaster upon yourself."

Luo Fei was deeply moved. "I will, I will never tell. My master also instructed me to do the same."

"Then why did you tell me?"

"You are not just anyone." Luo Fei regarded Mingyue as someone as precious as his own eyes.

"Next time, even if it's me, you must not bring it up again unless I ask about it. As an outsider, I know so much about your sect. If your sect finds out, both you and I will be in danger," Dongfang Mingyue instructed.

Luo Fei nodded, "Mingyue is indeed very thoughtful."

After leaving Luo Fei's courtyard, Dongfang Mingyue was no longer the same Dongfang Mingyue at all.

It's already a completely different face.

But that lustful idiot Luo Fei is still gloating and dreaming.
