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

With Jin Wuchen's Canal Gang and Chu Luo's Zhongfang Hall searching for the person together, even if it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, they should at least have some news.

But to the contrary, they still came up empty-handed, which was extremely strange.

"Even if Fei Zhiyou had an accident and was reduced to ashes, there should have been some news about him."

Jin Wuchen frowned slightly; this was the hardest time he had ever had to find Fei Zhiyou.

Chu Luo stared at the circles and crosses on the map. Jin Wuchen understood Fei Zhiyou; he had circled the places Fei Zhiyou might go to and might not go to, and crossed out places where he wasn't present.

Now, there are very few places on the entire map that haven't been crossed out.

Chu Luo stared blankly at the few places that weren't marked with an X. All the places that weren't marked with an X were now the Regent's territory.

"Jin Wuchen, didn't you say before that the Regent intended to interfere in the Fei family's affairs?" Chu Luo asked Jin Wuchen directly.

Jin Wuchen nodded, immediately understanding what Chu Luo was guessing: "You suspect Fei Zhiyou is with Feng Zhe?"

Chu Luo nodded.

"Even if he's going to Feng Zhe's place, there's no need for him to hide from us or the Fei family."

Jin Wuchen had considered it, but it didn't make sense.

Ever since he learned that Chu Luo wanted to kill Feng Zhe, he knew that Chu Luo's people had been keeping a close eye on Feng Zhe, so his current thoughts were definitely not just random talk.

"Why do you have this judgment?" Jin Wuchen asked, looking at her.

Chu Luo pointed to those places on the map, not intending to hide anything.

"Look at these places on the map that aren't marked with an 'X'. As far as I know, these places are all related to Feng Zhe, such as Mianshui Town, Jiangzhou, Jiegu, and these other places are all related to Feng Zhe's pursuit of immortality."

Chu Luo not only spoke, but also circled more specific places.

Jin Wuchen raised his hand and tucked Chu Luo's fallen hair behind her ear before looking at those few places.

One can't help but sigh, no wonder they are mortal enemies, Chu Luo knows so much about the details and everything.

"I'll immediately send someone to search the places you mentioned," Jin Wuchen immediately ordered.

These places are too dangerous, and Chu Luo really has no way to let the people from Zhongfang Hall investigate them.

The two cooperated tacitly.

Within two days, Jin Wuchen's men brought news that one of Feng Zheyang's physicians looked very much like Fei Zhiyou, but the specifics were still unknown.

"Where is it?" Chu Luo, who had finally managed to doze off for a while, got up and came out to ask when she heard the noise.

Jin Wuchen frowned slightly when he saw her come out, but still answered her, "In Yan City."

He walked over and picked Chu Luo up in his arms.

"What are you doing? Put me down!" Jin Wuchen's sudden action startled Chu Luo.

Jin Wuchen gently lifted her and placed her on a chair before letting go. He then turned around and went into the room to get a pair of shoes. He knelt down to put the shoes on Chu Luo.

Chu Luo's feet were held in Jin Wuchen's hands, and she couldn't break free no matter what she did. Her feet were small, and at this moment they were completely held in Jin Wuchen's hands.

"I'll wear it myself," Chu Luo said, her face flushed, her ears practically dripping blood.

"Don't rush to wear it. You've been sleeping too lightly lately, worrying too much, and your meridians are blocked. Let me give you a massage."

"No, I'm fine, perfectly fine. I've always been a light sleeper, I've had enough sleep..."

Jin Wuchen looked at the dark circles under her eyes, but couldn't listen. He gathered his inner strength in his hands and started pressing them after he felt his hands were warm.

"Ah, no, it hurts!" Chu Luo cried out in pain.

The person who came to report the news hadn't gone far when he heard this. He hurried away, fearing that if he ruined the young master's plans, he would be in deep trouble. He also told the others not to disturb him.

"Where there is pain, there is blockage. You still say you're fine? Fei Zhiyou can't escape, so your short time won't make a difference."

Jin Wuchen felt a pang of sadness. She had been so flustered by news of Fei Zhiyou that she had forgotten to put on her shoes and had run out barefoot.

"Jin Wuchen, be gentle, it really hurts!" Chu Luo cried, her eyes brimming with tears.

The shouts made the twenty-four Fiends who were following in the shadows blush, and they moved a little further away.

Jin Wuchen used his inner strength to envelop her feet, and then lightened his grip. He hadn't expected Chu Luo to be so sensitive to pain; how much pain must she have felt when she was beaten in the Chu family before?

Jin Wuchen was momentarily lost in thought.

"Ah, please be gentler, it really hurts. I promise I'll go to bed earlier from now on." Chu Luo knew that her liver qi was stagnant, which caused her to have light sleep and make it so painful to press.

Jin Wuchen looked up at Chu Luo and saw tears glistening on her eyelashes; she was truly crying from the pain. He gently coaxed her, "Okay, I'll be gentler. Just bear with it. If you can't take it anymore, grab my shoulders. I'll massage your meridians for a while longer, and you'll feel much better once they're unblocked."

Chu Luo knew that Jin Wuchen wouldn't listen to her stop, so she put her hand on his shoulder and grabbed him.

Jin Wuchen started massaging, and Chu Luo initially felt pain, but gradually her usually cold soles began to warm up, and her entire leg felt lighter, sweeping away the fatigue of the past few days.

Jin Wuchen adjusted the strength and speed of his hand based on the force with which she gripped his shoulder, and channeled his internal energy into Chu Luo's body through acupoints on the soles of her feet.

"I never knew internal energy could be used like this! My whole body feels warm right now, so relaxed and comfortable. Can you teach me?"

Chu Luo was very interested in Jin Wuchen using his internal energy to unblock her meridians, but having learned some internal energy manipulation, she knew that it was not easy. Too much internal energy injected into a person's meridians would cause them to rupture, while too little would have no effect at all.

"This requires extremely precise control over one's internal energy. Stay by my side for a while longer, and I'll teach you slowly."

Chu Luo was delighted to hear that he was willing to teach. "How quickly will it take?"

"Three to five years"

"It's been too long."

“Some exceptionally gifted individuals can manage in two or three years,” Jin Wuchen said, having heard her complain about the time being too long, so he had to shorten the timeframe again.

"It's still too long."

Jin Wuchen looked up at her, his confusion and disappointment undisguised. "Are you complaining that learning this takes too long, or do you just not want to be with me, so you're complaining about the time being too long?"

Looking at his expression because of her few words, Chu Luo felt a little guilty. No wonder some people say that being good-looking makes you feel like you're in the wrong.

"No, it's that I don't have that much time left," Chu Luo explained, revealing that she didn't have much time left to live.

"What do you mean you don't have that much time? Is it a heart condition?" Jin Wuchen stopped what he was doing and looked at her.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Jin Wuchen glanced at the red ring on his hand, and everything seemed fine.

Chu Luo had actually noticed the red ring on his hand long ago, which he hadn't worn when he was at the Jin family's house.

The brilliance of this ring always seemed a little strange to Chu Luo.

"Your heart condition hasn't flared up for several months, and you don't have any other ailments."

Chu Luo stared at him in shock. "Jin Wuchen, how did you know? My heart condition hasn't flared up for months, and..."
