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

Feng Zhe is in good health now, and his temper has become much milder.

"It feels so good to have my body filled with young, fresh blood," Feng Zhe said slowly after circulating his internal energy.

"May the Regent reign for a thousand generations, forever at the height of his power," the Blood Shadow Guard leader flattered.

The leader of the Blood Shadow Guards was not a member of the Blood Shadow Guards, but a eunuch named Xianyan, who was better at winning people's favor.

A day passed, and the two teams of Blood Shadow Guards disappeared again in Cangli, leaving no trace of their lives or bodies, as if the world had vanished into thin air.

"These Blood Shadow Guards are useless. There are only five squads in total. They usually say one of them is worth a hundred, but three squads were wiped out."

The eunuch Xianyan cursed at the remaining two teams of Blood Shadow Guards.

Feng Zhe smiled. Having this eunuch by his side meant he would take on all the anger for him; it was good for his health.

"Send them all out to find out why the first three teams disappeared. As for killing Cang Liren, we'll hold off for now. I'm more interested in the reason why the Blood Shadow Guards disappeared. I want to see who's behind it."

Feng Zhe rarely saw someone who did things so cleanly and efficiently, and who could organize things so meticulously that no trace of their actions could be guessed.

The last time I saw him was when he was a six-year-old boy.

He still remembers the little boy's name: Jin Yuan, a man whose eyes, mannerisms, and whole being were like an abyss.

He admired him back then, but it was a pity that the child couldn't go with him.

A day later, the Blood Shadow Guard was completely wiped out, and the perpetrators remained unknown.

The Blood Shadow Guards, who had taken countless lives, were all eliminated in just two or three days.

"Who is it? There's not a single flaw in their story. How are we going to deal with this?" complained the eunuch Xianyan.

Feng Zhe calculated how many years had passed since he last met that boy, then smiled and said, "Sometimes the biggest flaw is the absence of any flaw."

Xian Yan, who was very good at reading people's expressions, smiled and said, "It seems that Your Highness already knows who did it. It seems that it is someone who interests Your Highness. You are not angry that the Blood Shadow Guard was destroyed."

“People are as common as grass, but the one who destroyed the Blood Shadow Guard is extremely rare. Hundreds of Blood Shadow Guards cannot compare to him.”

Feng Zhe's eyes lit up with excitement as he thought of Jin Yuan.

Each Blood Shadow Guard is a rare find and a formidable fighting force; it would be a real shame to destroy them.

But it's just a pity. Jin Yuan is different; he's someone whose talent, appearance, and personality make him jealous.

Even though what he saw that year was just Jin Yuan, who was just a child.

"Go to Cangli and find a man named Jin Yuan," Feng Zhe instructed.

"What are the characteristics of this person?" Xianyan asked.

"Features? Let me think... in her early twenties, with a face like a fairy's, unforgettable at first sight."

Feng Zhe's description was ambiguous, and Xian Yan did not think that the possibility of finding the person based on just a few words was very slim.

But he still asked, "Should we kill him after we find him?"

Feng Zhe laughed loudly upon hearing Xian Yan's words, "Ridiculous! You? Why don't you try? If you can kill him, you can sit on the Regent's throne. Although the Blood Shadow Guards are also useless, you can't even beat a useless person."

Xianyan knew his own limitations and stopped getting involved in Canglicheng's affairs.

He simply memorized the name Jin Yuan.

The Blood Shadow Guards were once incredibly powerful, but what became of them? Their fate was just as tragic. It wasn't that they were incapable of moving; it was simply that their time and opportunity hadn't come yet.

Feng Zherang, a man who had followed him for many years, went to find Jin Yuan in person. He had only one request: to bring Jin Yuan back at any cost.

Of course, he knew it would be difficult, but he had enough patience for Jin Yuan.

There are too few interesting things in this world, and too few interesting people.

He's willing to put in more effort to find a playmate.

Shen Wei's men had been keeping a close eye on the Regent's Palace's movements. Although he didn't know about the arrival of the Regent's Palace's forces in Cangli as early as Jin Wuchen, he still managed to get some information.

However, when Chu Luo learned of this news halfway through her journey and confirmed that one of the parties in the Bagua sacrificial array was Cang Li, she wanted to return, only to find that the Regent had sent his trusted confidants to find someone.

The person they sought was Jin Yuan, an old friend of the regent.

Shen Weizhen had no idea that Jin Yuan was Jin Wuchen, and he passed the message on to Chu Luo in its entirety.

Chu Luo was already somewhat puzzled about the relationship between Feng Zhe and Jin Wuchen, and now she was even more confused about it.

It seems that everything related to Feng Zhe is somehow connected to Jin Wuchen.

Feng Zhe had never taken anyone seriously. The only person Chu Luo knew who could be called an old friend was Jin Wuchen.

What exactly is the relationship between these two people?

Even when Feng Zhe wanted to kill Shao Sheng Fei Hong, Jin Wuchen knew that this was her bottom line but still helped.

Cang Li and Feng Zhe didn't send people to do evil deeds, but only to find Jin Wuchen.

After Kang Jintai, Jin Wuchen did indeed disappear from Dazheng for a period of time.

He's probably encountered something difficult.

What kind of things will someone like him encounter?

Chu Luo wondered if he had encountered some great danger, but he rarely seemed to get injured.

Two scenes of her past interactions with Jin Wuchen flashed through Chu Luo's mind. He was very strong, and even when their relationship was still good, she could feel at ease when Jin Wuchen went out on business.

Only twice, and the time she misunderstood him, she made chicken as a way of apologizing to him.

Jin Wuchen's left wrist was wrapped in gauze, with blood seeping out faintly. His complexion was also not as rosy as usual.

The same thing happened again later, except he seemed to recover very quickly.

He is ultimately a human, not a god or demon; someone will always be able to hurt him.

Before the truth and the relationship were clear, Chu Luo instinctively felt a vague sense of worry for him.

He began to ponder what could be so troublesome that had caused him to spend so much time and effort on it, yet he hadn't seen anyone for a month.

Chu Luo was unaware that Jin Wuchen's troublesome matter was finding her, and that he hadn't found her yet.

Feng Zhe only looked for people and didn't take action against Cang Li for the time being, and Chu Luo didn't look back again.

They rode back to Sensha at top speed.

More and more people are joining Chu Luo's cause, and more than half of them are following Shen Wei to reclaim wasteland, cultivate the land, and build irrigation canals.

The appearance of Sensa City has also changed, most notably in the houses.

Chu Luo could tell at a glance that this was Shen Wei's doing.

If this continues, eight or nine out of ten people in Sensha City will gradually come over and start to support themselves and change their original way of life.

It's just a matter of time and money right now.

Chu Luo and Shu Tong returned to Sensha this time and swept through the surrounding bandit strongholds again, obtaining some more gold and silver.

The bandit leader was somewhat disheartened, wondering what the point of continuing to be a bandit was. All the money they had worked so hard to earn ended up in her pocket, as if they were saving up silver for her.

Even becoming a monk isn't this comfortable.

Chu Luo returned with gold and silver, just when Shen Wei was short of money and needed to raise funds.

Everyone was happy that Chu Luo was back, except for Da Cheng.

Because he lost Chu Luo's special die.

Despite Chu Luo's repeated warnings, he still managed to ruin it.
