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

Jin Wuchen and Seventeen followed Shen Wei's route and found that Shen Wei's whereabouts were somewhat strange.

Shen Wei took a detour to Kangjintai.

Previously, Jin Wuchen had received news that Kang Jintai had made unusual moves.

According to his information, Kangjintai is currently under lockdown, with no one allowed to enter or leave.

This is extremely abnormal.

Kangjintai, named for its rich gold mines, was a bustling city with extensive trade.

Others may not know, but Jin Wuchen is well aware that this is also one of Feng Zhe's money bags.

This place was also among the nine locations mentioned in Qi Tianqing's letter.

Shen Wei went to Kangjintai a few days before Kangjintai closed its gates but not the city.

It was as if they had received news.

“Young Master, I’ve met Shen Wei. His accent and mannerisms don’t seem to belong to Kang Jintai. A doctor said that it was strange for him to come here after returning home for the New Year. He didn’t stay long; he left just the day before Kang Jintai closed its gates.”

"Kang Jintai has been acting strangely for some time now, and there has been no indication of the city being closed. News of the city's closure is not something that ordinary people can obtain. Is it a coincidence, or is there something more to it?"

Seventeen voiced his doubts.

There are two options: one is to ignore Shen Wei's detour and go straight ahead.

Secondly, we need to check if Kang Jintai is acting strangely, as his unusual behavior is very likely related to Feng Zhe.

It all depends on how Jin Wuchen chooses: one side is connected to the young mistress, and the other is Feng Zhe.

Jin Wuchen immediately changed direction and headed towards Kang Jin.

He had already looked at the finger, but there was no movement, only a peaceful silence, and it shimmered with a faint, lustrous red light.

This indicates that Chu Luo is in excellent physical condition at the moment.

This is definitely not due to drug treatment; it must be some other circumstance.

"Young Master, if we go to Kangjintai, what will happen to the Young Madam?"

Seventeen questions—Jin Wuchen has always had a clear purpose.

"What do you mean, 'what about her'? It's obvious I want to see her. It might be a little later now. You should feel sorry for your young master."

Jin Wuchen corrected Seventeen's words with a slight sense of helplessness.

If Chu Luo couldn't live without him, she wouldn't have left.

It wasn't that she needed him, but that he longed to see her and be with her.

With her around, I feel an indescribable and inexplicably cherished joy.

This joy gave everything that was originally dull and indifferent a dazzling brilliance.

Seventeen rarely heard his young master say such witty remarks. When a strong person becomes strong enough, very few people will pity or sympathize with him.

Because they are not qualified.

Such words, expressing occasional melancholy due to emotions, are more of a joke than a genuine expression of feeling.

No one else could hear it, simply because he was seventeen and had been by his side for so many years.

"It's all that damned Feng Zhe's fault!"

Seventeen felt that as long as Feng Zhe lived, they would never have a peaceful life. His young master was unusually human and had some emotions, yet he was constantly being harassed by that scoundrel.

"Sooner or later, I'll make sure he dies by my hand. Let's go see what's really going on with Kang Jintai. Hurry up and finish this, then go find my wife."

After saying that, Jin Wuchen spurred his horse and galloped away, leaving everyone else in the dust.

Seventeen also whipped his whip and followed.

Shen Wei led everyone in preparing for the New Year, working busily and happily. In the past, he had spent the New Year in the same place as the young master.

He was happy and cherished the opportunity to spend the New Year with the young master.

The Sensha people don't have a concept of celebrating the New Year. Shen Wei explained the Dazheng calendar and the customs of celebrating the New Year in Dazheng to them.

At this time, they also gave everyone some extra grains, fruits, and vegetables.

With him leading the way, everyone started preparing together.

Since fireworks were not allowed in Jiangzhou, and Feng Zhe himself could not watch them, he ordered that fireworks were not allowed in Dazheng.

However, with each solar term lasting a year, setting off fireworks has been a custom for thousands of years.

So, apart from the towns surrounding Jiangzhou, officials and civilians alike tacitly agreed not to mention the ban and to let it be relaxed.

The fireworks that were originally intended to be sold in the bustling areas near Jiangzhou were instead transported to the border regions for sale.

However, the people on the border could not buy many, so Shen Wei bought a lot of fireworks without spending much money.

He wanted to show the Sensha people who followed Chuluo what kind of future they should strive for.

Let them see what kind of New Year people with manners, etiquette, and customs should celebrate.

Two days before the Lunar New Year, even though he had everything prepared, he still hadn't seen Chu Luo.

Chu Luo and Shu Tong had gone out to talk to him about something.

He asked Chu Luo if she would come back for the New Year, even though Chu Luo never told him her whereabouts or when.

However, since it was Chinese New Year, he couldn't help but ask a question.

Chu Luo nodded, "I will come back."

Shen Wei knew things were uncertain, but he was still extremely hopeful.

"You go ahead with your work, leave this to me. When you come back, we'll definitely have an extremely lively and unforgettable New Year."

Chu Luo smiled and said "Okay".

"Sir, the New Year is almost here, and the young master still hasn't returned. Is something keeping her waiting? Should we go look for her, or has she simply forgotten?"

Daze stood at the crossroads every day to watch Chu Luo's horse. One evening, he waited for her but she didn't come. He was worried and disappointed.

"She's a woman of her word. Even if she forgot, it wouldn't have been intentional. We're not familiar with this area and can't find her. She said Shu Tong is highly skilled in martial arts, so we should trust her."

Shen Wei comforted Da Ze.

After Chu Luo entered a meditative state in the water, she was in her own world, and the outside world was no longer in her consciousness.

It is unknown how long they stayed in the cold spring.

When she broke through to the ninth level of the Rising Yang Technique, her whole body felt like it was on fire. Fortunately, the cold spring water carried away the heat.

The heat generated in her body was carried away by the flowing cold spring, harmonizing yin and yang, and balancing hot and cold.

She was able to concentrate on breaking through to the ninth level.

Having emerged from the hot spring wearing only an outer robe, Shu Tong lay on the couch beside him, watching Chu Luo's breakthrough.

Only she knew that although many people had practiced this Yang-Generating Technique and could learn it quickly, very few had succeeded.

Those who have gained some insight and possess exceptional talent can only reach the eighth level at most.

No matter how much they improve themselves and open up their meridians, it is extremely difficult to advance further on the ninth level.

It's not a problem with people, but rather that the Sheng Yang Technique requires external help to break through the ninth level and go beyond.

You need both favorable location and harmonious relationships.

Chu Luo possesses talent, the advantage of location lies in this extremely rare, flowing, icy spring, and the advantage of human factors is the assistance of a special person when she is at her most vulnerable to qi deviation.

After breaking through to the ninth level, Chu Luo unconsciously began practicing the tenth level.

As she practiced, even the cold spring water couldn't lower her body temperature.

She was so hot that her head was throbbing, and every part of her body was in pain, as if she were in a sea of ​​fire.

The sound of boiling could be heard from the cold spring where we were.

"Ah!" Chu Luo cried out in pain.

Shu Tong called her a few times, and seeing the boiling cold spring, knew that she had gone mad with qi.

Not only will this prevent you from breaking through to the tenth level, but it could also cost you your life.

She leaped into the water, activated her technique, and the boiling water gradually calmed down.

The water grew colder and colder, and the heat on Chu Luo's body slowly dissipated with the continuous flow of cool water.

The exercise that Shu Tong practiced was extremely yin and cool.

She is this person.

If she hadn't known she could save her, she would never have let her practice the ninth level and fall into this dangerous situation.
