About two hours after eating the lantern fruit, Xuanyuan Ce’s lips returned to normal. Chu Feng heaved a sigh of relief.

The mountains were not a good place to recuperate. While it was still early, the three of them carried one each and left the cliff ridge.

On the other side, Shen Yijia and the others did not have a smooth journey. It was not easy for them to escape from a swamp, but thick fog suddenly filled their surroundings, drowning the four of them in the blink of an eye.

In order to prevent any unexpected situations, the four of them walked in single file formation. You Yi led the way, followed by Song Jingchen. Shen Yijia walked behind Song Jingchen, and MO Yuan was at the back.

The distance between everyone was not large, but because of the fog, apart from a vast expanse of white, they could not see anything clearly.

Shen Yijia frowned and quickly took a few steps forward to pull Song Jingchen back, but she missed.

She did not dare to walk around anymore. She stood still and called out softly, “Hubby?”

After a long time, Song Jingchen’s voice sounded from the right.

“Jiajia, come here. I’m here.”

Shen Yijia turned around and could vaguely see a blurry figure standing not far away, waving at her.

Confusion appeared in her eyes, wondering why the person walking in front of her would run to the right.

However, before she could figure it out, her feet had already walked towards the figure uncontrollably.

“Jiajia, come with me.”

The figure spoke again, with indescribable bewitchment.

Shen Yijia clenched her fists under her sleeves. Her nails pierced into her palms, bringing about a sharp pain. At the same time, a hint of struggle flashed across her eyes, but she calmed down in an instant.

After following the figure for nearly half an hour, the fog around them dissipated, revealing the true appearance of the person in front of him. It was the face of an unfamiliar man.

However, Shen Yijia did not seem to notice. She just stood rooted to the ground in a daze.

The man sneered disdainfully. “I thought you were supposed to be skillful.”

Footsteps came from behind. When he saw who it was, he quickly threw away the incense in his hand and crossed his arms in front of his chest. “Young Master.”

Ji Yunxi nodded and walked straight to Shen Yijia. She grabbed her chin and forced her to look up. Her lips curled into a determined smile. “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

Shen Yijia looked at her with empty eyes. She let her hand make five red finger marks on her face, but she did not resist. She was clearly being controlled. The man leaned forward curiously. “Young Master, who is she?”

He actually used the last incense in the valley.

However, when he thought about how he could get as much incense as he wanted when that brat from the Lin family handed over the incense book, the man’s heart no longer ached.

Ji Yunxi glanced at him. The man Imew that he had misspoken and immediately fell silent, not daring to ask further. “Take her back,” she instructed coldly.

“Yes.”

In the depths of the bamboo forest, there was a winding path. At the end of the path was a courtyard. A breeze blew, and the bamboo leaves swayed gently, making a rustling sound.

The weather turned warmer, and new bamboo shoots appeared. It looked lively.

A child in green stood at the entrance of the courtyard. When he saw Ji Yunxi coming over, he crossed his arms and bowed. “Young Master.”

“Is my father inside?” Ji Yunxi asked.

“Master hasn’t returned from the priest hall.”

Ji Yunxi nodded and brought Shen Yijia to the priest hall.

After passing through the bamboo forest, there was a small slope. A winding path followed the slope. After walking along the path for fifteen minutes, a large group of buildings came into view. It was a village. To be precise, it was the settlement of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets’ people.

The weather turned warm, and one could vaguely see people working in the fields.

Everyone said that the Valley of Heavenly Secrets had only secluded itself after the destruction of the previous dynasty.

In fact, this was not entirely true.

In reality, this had always been the territory of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets.

However, before the emperor of the previous dynasty suppressed the warlocks, the Valley of Heavenly Secrets would arrange for the young master to lead some outstanding disciples out of the mountains to assist capable people.

When the time came, Young Master would return to the Valley of Heavenly Secrets to take over the position of Valley Master. They would marry the disciple chosen by the high priest and give birth to the next Young Master.

This had been the cycle for generations. They did not expect the disciples in the valley to suffer heavy losses because of the suspicions of the previous emperor.

At that time, the incumbent Valley Master recalled everyone and decided that the disciples of the valley were never to enter the mortal world again. They were not to be involved with the royal family in any way.

In the past hundred years, no one in the valley had gone out again, including the commoners who had returned with the disciples of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets..
