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

The older woman sighed and said, "Yes, she did give birth to a beautiful child, but the only drawback is that it's a boy."

Chu Luo noticed the resentment in her senior's eyes and smiled, "Then did you have another child?"

The senior doctor nodded, "The second time, I took the medicine myself for a whole year, and also had the child's father take it. A group of renowned doctors all said there was no problem."

"And then she had another son?" Chu Luo asked.

The senior sighed and nodded.

The disappointment her senior felt years ago seemed to be etched in her heart, and Chu Luo could still see a trace of it in her expression.

Chu Luo thought of her mother. Even though her mother treated her very well, in her previous lives, her mother had always wanted to have a son.

Her mother always felt that her son was perhaps more reliable and capable than her daughter.

In this life, her mother only said when Chu Luo was wronged that if she were a boy, the Chu family would not bully them like this anymore.

While Madam Chu and her daughter were criticizing them, she had already taken on a lot of responsibility and accepted a lot of punishment.

Her mother rarely said this because she didn't like it, but Chu Luo knew that her mother probably didn't think that way.

"You don't like your son?" Chu Luo asked.

The senior smiled and shook his head, "Although I prefer daughters, after the initial disappointment, they are all my own children, so naturally I love them too."

"They should also really like me, their smart and fun-loving mother," the senior added confidently.

Chu Luo thought so too; even a complete stranger like her couldn't resist her charm. She smiled and said, "They're so lucky."

The senior chuckled and said, "If you can't solve it, and you happen to run into those two kids, you can cheat."

The older woman smiled as she mentioned her two sons, "If there's a chance, could I play them a song to celebrate our long and happy life together, as a mother's blessing for them to grow old with their loved ones?"

Chu Luo wanted to complete this task for her senior; if she couldn't find her, she could go find them.

"It's okay if you don't meet them. They're all smart, they'll do what they think is right, and they'll live their lives well. The music is just icing on the cake."

Chu Luo was very curious about what her senior's child would be like, something that would make her, a senior who seemed like an immortal, so proud and at ease.

"Chu Luo, take care." The senior gently patted her head again and pushed her out with a slap.

When Chu Luo opened her eyes again, she was alone at the table, with only two sheet music pieces on it.

The fluorescence on the scroll has disappeared.

Everything that just happened was a dream, but it was more than just a simple dream.

Since Chu Luo's rebirth, many things cannot be viewed through the lens of common sense, especially her dreams.

"Thank you for the musical score, Senior." Chu Luo kowtowed to the painting.

She took the painting back into the house and hung it up properly. She locked the door again and found that Shu Tong had already fallen asleep, which was unusual for her.

The Yang-Generating Technique was taught to her by Shu Tong, and the frequency of her attacks decreased when she was with Shu Tong before, which probably means that Shu Tong did something for her without her knowledge.

She learned from the young Taoist priest that her daily sparring with Taoist Master Qi Minglan these past few days was actually for the purpose of gaining access to the library.

Her purpose in entering the library seemed to be to find a way to cure her.

Chu Luo walked to her bedside and gently covered her with the blanket.

She cherishes this friendship.

Before the two descended the mountain, Qi Tianqing gave Chu Luo a book.

It contains information about the Eight Trigrams Sacrifice Array and Qi Tianqing's proposed solution.

Apart from the two villages where the incident has already occurred, Chu Luo needs to go to the other six places to confirm their locations on-site.

"We at Wangchen Mountain will handle Qi Minghuang's matter, but he's not the only one involved. It will take us some time to resolve, and dealing with them will only be a temporary fix. The real issue still depends on you."

"Yes, I know," Chu Luo replied.

"You can come to Wangchen Mountain anytime you want, and you can come up the mountain anytime you change your mind."

She would come back to this mountain again if she had the chance, after all, she could see the most beautiful moonlight here, but it would never be because she was afraid of death and changed her mind.

Watching the two figures grow ever more distant.

Qi Minglan said with some worry, "Master, young friend Shu Tong's aura is too strong. The guidance time was too short, and it hasn't dissipated much. It might not be appropriate to let her go down the mountain now."

Qi Tianqing asked, "You've already calculated her fortune, how was it?"

"She was exceptionally intelligent and physically gifted, but not only did she have weak ties with her family, who were her enemies from a past life, she herself was also emotionally detached."

"Some people are like grass or trees, but she was born like a ruthless, sharp knife, a born executioner, destined to kill without mercy and meet a bad end."

Qi Tianqing smiled and said, "Heaven will determine some things, but it's not absolute. People also have their own destiny. Don't you think so too?"

Qi Minglan calculated everything clearly, but she used the daily sparring with Shu Tong as an opportunity to guide her, teaching Shu Tong moves that could help her heal her internal injuries as quickly as possible.

Qi Tianqing saw all of this.

"But the time is too short, it's not enough," Qi Minglan said worriedly.

"Don't you think she's a bit different from you? Logically speaking, she shouldn't be so calm. Someone who doesn't even care about her own life and death is actually willing to spar with you in order to find a cure for Chu Luo's illness."

Qi Tianqing knew that Chu Luo was connected to the entire Wangchen Mountain and was the one who would break the deadlock. He had already examined the people she brought.

"But……"

Qi Tianqing said, "Don't say 'but'. Have you forgotten Yuan'er? Is he the same as you?"

Qi Minglan paused for a moment and then said, "I know, but I'm afraid she might not be able to control herself and, because she cares about Chu Luo, might influence or harm Chu Luo."

Qi Tianqing watched the two of them descend the mountain and said quietly, "From the moment they met, a karmic bond was formed, and they will naturally influence each other. For Chu Luo, it is a crisis, but it may also be a turning point."

Qi Minglan didn't think Shu Tong wanted to hurt Chu Luo, but rather that Shu Tong was obsessive and might resort to any means to get rid of Chu Luo.

After descending Wangchen Mountain, Chu Luo persisted in practicing what she had learned on the mountain, practicing the Sheng Yang Technique, and playing the five-stringed zither every few days.

However, these measures are increasingly only treating the symptoms, not the root cause.

Her meridians had been opened, and the internal energy of the Yang-Generating Technique was increasing rapidly, but it was still useless.

Shu Tong no longer concealed herself from channeling her internal energy to protect her heart meridian. She knew very well that even with her extremely yin and pure internal energy, she couldn't save her many times if things continued this way.

Chu Luo originally planned to head north to Kangjintai, the third place on the map, to confirm whether this place would also be wiped out.

After walking for more than ten days, my heart condition flared up due to the cold, and it was more severe than usual.

Shu Tong channeled his internal energy into her, but no matter how much he channeled, it didn't have much of an effect.

Chu Luo was in so much pain that her eyes were practically popping out of their sockets, and her lips were bleeding from where she had bitten them.

Shu Tong simply raised her hand and knocked her unconscious.

The direction of change.

Qi Tianqing was absolutely right. In order to save Chu Luo, Shu Tong would indeed stop at nothing, even if it meant going against Chu Luo's wishes and leading her into the abyss of darkness.

She didn't want Chu Luo to die in pain, so Chu Luo had to live for her.
