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

Fei Zhiyou's sudden sharp words were a sign of his dissatisfaction; he was in a hurry to see Chu Luo in Sensha.

But Jin Wuchen actually stopped here for such an unrelated person.

"If outsiders knew how important Chu Luo was to me, do you think it would be a good thing?"

Jin Wuchen asked him in return.

Fei Zhiyou suddenly realized, "You didn't explain because you wanted to protect Chu Luo, or to save face for Zhu Xi. You're guarding against Zhu Xi, but Zhu Xi is your savior, so is she an outsider?"

"Not outsiders, but family? I only have one family member," Jin Wuchen replied.

"Yes, yes, yes, beauties are very important to me too. Horses are ready, let's hurry and go find her."

After finishing his persuasion, Fei Zhi immediately mounted his horse, not wanting to delay for even a moment.

"Let's hurry up and leave. It's been so long, the beauty has almost forgotten about me. She's always good at hiding, and if she gets wind of this beforehand, she'll probably leave again. Do you think we should dress up?"

"I think it's still necessary. Even if the beauty doesn't manage to slip away unnoticed, she'll probably disguise herself, and we might not be able to recognize her. It's a pity to think about her hiding her beautiful face."

"However, if a beauty doesn't deliberately hide her eyes, I might recognize her. A single glance from her is like a journey through my heart."

Fei Zhiyou became more talkative when Chu Luo was mentioned, muttering to himself.

He does not mean that.

"Say what you just said again," Jin Wuchen called out to Fei Zhiyou.

"I just said several sentences, should I repeat them all?"

"The last sentence"

"In the last sentence, I said that it was as if she had passed through my heart the moment she looked at me. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Fei Zhiyou found it strange that Jin Wuchen was suddenly dawdling.

He always felt something was off about the way Kang Jintai looked at him, and he kept trying to find that person to confirm it.

Now he understands why; it wasn't the look in his eyes that was off.

Rather, it was his feeling and reaction to that look that was off.

He shouldn't have only realized it now.

"We're not going to Sensha anymore, let's go back." Jin Wuchen mounted his horse, turned around, and headed back.

"What exactly are you trying to do? The most important thing right now is to find the beauty. What are you going to Peiyuan Ridge for?"

Although Fei Zhiyou knew that Jin Wuchen had his reasons for making this decision, he felt very uncomfortable being kept in the dark.

"On our way here, two men riding excellent Ferghana horses passed by us. We found these two men suspicious."

Jin Wuchen deliberately did not reveal the identities of the two people.

Fei Zhiyou asked doubtfully, "Are these two people very important?"

If it weren't important, Jin Wuchen wouldn't have said he would give up on pursuing Chu Luo.

“One of them is very important,” Jin Wuchen replied.

"We absolutely have to pursue them?" Fei Zhiyou confirmed again.

"Yes," Jin Wuchen said with certainty.

"Alright then," Fei Zhiyou said without asking any further questions, turning his horse around and whipping it towards Peiyuan Ridge.

Jin Wuchen must have his reasons for doing this. If he chases after him, he will accompany him.

Jin Wuchen would share joys and sorrows with him, going through thick and thin together, and he would do the same for him.

Jin Wuchen's speed increased significantly, and dark clouds filled the sky, indicating that a heavy rain was about to fall.

According to the route they came from, there was no other houses for a long stretch of road ahead, only an inn.

In that case, it's truly as if heaven is helping him.

It started raining heavily when he was almost at the inn. The waiter offered to help him lead his horse to the stable, but he insisted on going by himself.

When he arrived at the stable and saw the two Ferghana horses that were clearly much stronger than the others, he was certain that he was indeed in the inn.

After he and Fei Zhiyou quickly took a bath and changed their clothes, they did not go to the lobby on the first floor of the inn to eat, but instead asked the waiter to bring them to their room.

The people he wanted to see didn't come to the lobby to eat, but he had already asked the waiter about their rooms.

When he saw her in the shadows, she was at the table about to eat, and she looked much thinner than before.

She picked up her chopsticks, took only two bites, and then put them down again.

"Why aren't you eating again? Are you feeling unwell?"

She hadn't eaten much food on the road, and now that she was at the inn, she only ate a bite or two. No matter how much Shu Tong tried to ignore it, she couldn't possibly have missed it.

"I just don't have much of an appetite, I don't really want to eat these, but it's okay."

Chu Luo smiled gently and comforted Shu Tong.

Jin Wuchen frowned slightly as she watched this scene. She had never been a good eater before; she would lose her appetite at the slightest disturbance.

Now she looks even worse, no wonder she's lost so much weight.

The weight she gained while living with the Jin family has been completely used up.

Jin Wuchen turned and went to the kitchen, borrowing the inn's kitchen for a while, where he cooked a pot of fish porridge.

Soon the kitchen was filled with delicious aromas, and even the seasoned chef swallowed hard several times.

After he finished cooking, he ladled out two bowls, added some seasonings to them, and called over the waiter to deliver the two bowls of porridge to that room.

The leftover porridge can be given to other guests.

Chu Luo and Shu Tong clearly didn't order any extra food, but the waiter said that the chef was in a good mood and was making it for everyone for free.

The waiter was clever; he said a few words that left Chu Luo speechless, and seeing that the other customers downstairs didn't suspect anything either.

The porridge was placed on the table. She hadn't planned to eat it, but the fresh aroma made her feel a little hungry.

So they started eating. The porridge tasted excellent. It was truly rare to find a chef in such a deserted, isolated shop with such skill.

The bowl of porridge was quickly emptied.

Shu Tong wanted to take advantage of her appetite and get her to eat another bowl, and Jin Wuchen, who was secretly watching, naturally hoped so too.

But Chu Luo couldn't eat anymore.

Shu Tong also tried the other bowl of porridge. It was indeed fragrant, but she was not usually picky about food and did not react much.

This porridge was specially seasoned by Jin Wuchen according to Chu Luo's taste and physical condition. Others might find it fragrant, but Chu Luo would definitely like it very much.

Fei Zhiyou drank the porridge brought by the waiter and asked Jin Wuchen, "Why did you make porridge for no reason?"

Fei Zhiyou knew the waiter was lying with just one bite; it could only be Jin Wuchen's cooking.

"I didn't like the food at the inn, so I just made something on the spot," Jin Wuchen said casually, as if it were really as he said.

"The person you're looking for is in the inn. Did you poison this porridge?" Fei Zhiyou guessed his purpose.

"The person is in the inn, but there's no need to drug them."

Chu Luo ate the bowl of porridge, but slept soundly as if she had been drugged.

When Shu Tong went to her room, Chu Luo was already asleep.

Jin Wuchen entered Chu Luo's room and looked at the person he had been searching for for so long, as if it were a dream.

The room was equipped with some mechanisms to prevent others from entering.

However, given Jin Wuchen's martial arts skills, these mechanisms were practically useless.

Chu Luo's disguise had been removed, and now her original face was visible beneath the curtain.

She fell asleep against the corner of the wall. Although her face was more beautiful than before, Jin Wuchen noticed that the angles on her face were more defined.

He couldn't help but gently stroke Chu Luo's cheek.

Only when he touched her slightly warm cheek did he realize that he had truly found her and touched her.
