We agreed that I would be married off to a short-lived general, but why is my husband so powerful?

Wen Rushi was taken aback.

Damn it! Yue Lingyuan is leaving in a couple of days, so all her cultivation technique was for nothing?

However, the thought that this person would leave in a couple of days made her feel a little uneasy.

Wen Ru Shi became aware of her emotions and immediately reminded herself not to get too involved with the people and things here, because she would have to leave sooner or later.

but.........

After considering for a moment, Wen Rushi said, "I want to go to the border with you."

Staying in the General's Mansion might provide some peace for a while, but in a few years, everyone in the General's Mansion will die.

She didn't even know when or how her in-laws died, so how could she possibly stay here and wait to die!

It would be best to leave with Yue Lingyuan now.

If she can find a place with abundant spiritual energy in the future, it will be convenient for her to cultivate in seclusion.

She'll leave sooner or later anyway.

It's better to do it sooner rather than later.

Yue Lingyuan glanced at Wen Rushi with surprise, then coldly refused, "No, the border is harsh and cold; it's not suitable for you."

"I'm not afraid of the cold! I'm not afraid of hardship!" Wen Rushi assured him. "Didn't you just say you wanted to thank me? I just want you to promise to take me to the border!"

Yue Lingyuan stood up from his chair. "No, you don't need to say anything more."

Having said that, he didn't give Wen Rushi a chance to refute him and left Chunhe Courtyard.

As Wen Ru watched his departing figure, she couldn't help but curse him inwardly, "What a scoundrel! He broke his promise!"

Yue Lingyuan refused Wen Rushi's request without any consideration for her feelings, but that very night he still shamelessly came to Chunhe Courtyard to ask about cultivation techniques.

Seeing that it was his first time practicing, Wen Rushi was afraid that something might go wrong, so she let him into the inner room, where the two of them sat cross-legged on the bed.

Wen Rushi placed her small hand on his lower abdomen, "Silently recite the incantation, feel the surrounding spiritual energy being guided from the meridians to the dantian..."

As Yue Lingyuan listened to Wen Rushi's guidance, his mind was mostly disturbed by the hand that was pressed against his lower abdomen.

"I know where the dantian is. Can you let go of my hand?" Yue Lingyuan asked, blushing and looking down at her.

Wen Rushi then realized what she had done and immediately let go. "Um...sorry...I forgot you practiced martial arts before and know the location of the dantian..."

"Hmm." Yue Lingyuan closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the bed.

Seeing that he had entered a meditative state, Wen Rushi quickly sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate as well.

Like the couple, Cai Zhixing and Wen Qingci are also working hard.

After returning from Jing'an Temple, Cai Zhixing kept replaying the scene in the peach grove where Yue Lingyuan didn't take him seriously.

If he were not a scholar who had passed the imperial examinations, but instead held an official position, Yue Lingyuan would certainly not have treated him with the same disregard as he did today.

Wen Rushi is such a despicable woman, she wouldn't even give him a glance!

With this in mind, Cai Zhixing began to study diligently as soon as he returned home.

Wen Qingci was overjoyed to see her husband so ambitious, but seeing that it was already dark and her husband was still not resting, she took a bowl of nourishing soup and went into the study.

"Cai Lang, you've been reading for so long, take a break! I've made chicken soup with angelica root, it's very nourishing, my husband, drink it while it's hot." Wen Qingci placed the soup on the desk.

Cai Zhixing looked at the gentle and considerate Wen Qingci, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

Indeed, Cai Zhixing, a mere poor scholar, was able to marry the most beautiful woman in the capital, while Yue Lingyuan, from a general's family, could only marry the illegitimate daughter he didn't want. Who won and who lost was clear!

With this thought, most of the frustration he had been holding in all afternoon dissipated under Wen Qingci's gentle care.

"You've worked hard, my wife!" Cai Zhixing grasped Wen Qingci's soft hand and gently stroked it.

Wen Qingci leaned against his shoulder and said softly, "I don't feel tired at all. My husband is a man of great talent, and he will surely make a name for himself in the future. Being able to take care of my husband in this life is a blessing I have accumulated in my previous life!"

Hearing Qingci's words, Cai Zhixing felt elated. He pulled her into his arms, his hand gripping her slender waist, and teased, "My wife trusts me so much, I certainly won't disappoint you. My wife, I'm a little tired from studying, how about you take care of me a bit more?"

Wen Qingci, who was already married to Cai Zhixing, immediately understood what he meant.

She glared at the man, wrapped her arms around his neck, buried her face in his chest, and replied coquettishly, "I will obey my husband."

Cai Zhixing immediately became interested, and forgot about drinking the chicken soup. He carried the person to the small couch where he usually rested, and they spent the night in debauchery.

…………

"What? You're saying you sensed spiritual energy in just one night?" Wen Ru looked at Yue Lingyuan standing in front of her in astonishment, her eyes filled with disbelief.

In this remote corner, with such a common and unremarkable cultivation technique, he was able to sense spiritual energy so quickly. Yue Lingyuan's talent is certainly not lacking.

Pity!

This is not the world of cultivation.

An ordinary person can only remain a mortal even if they practice their whole life.

But she was different. She had a gut feeling that if she found a cultivation method in this world that suited her, she would definitely be able to achieve great success and leave this world!

"What? Is this not right?" Yue Lingyuan was initially a little excited, but seeing Wen Ru's surprise, he thought that there was something wrong with his training.

"No, that's great! You're very talented," Wen Rushi replied.

A smile appeared in Yue Lingyuan's eyes, and he couldn't help but pull the person into his arms. "It's because the cultivation method that Madam gave me is so good."

"How does my husband plan to thank me?" Wen Rushi thought of her purpose and did not push the man away.

Yue Lingyuan patted her head and said earnestly, "Don't worry, I will never let you down in this life, I'll give my life for you!"

Wen Rushi rolled her eyes at him. "Why would I want your life? I only ask that my husband promise me one thing: take me to the border."

Yue Lingyuan cupped Wen Rushi's face in his hands, his tone resolute, "No, my second brother and I will travel there at breakneck speed, enduring wind and rain, your body won't be able to handle it!"

"I'm in perfect health!" Wen Rushi explained.

Although she hasn't yet been able to draw qi into her body, her daily meditation sessions haven't been in vain.

She was physically strong and had plenty of blood and energy, but she had a small frame and looked a bit thin. In addition, her face looked pale after applying the medicine, which gave people the illusion that she was in poor health.

Even after she explained repeatedly, Yue Lingyuan still didn't believe her.

Yue Lingyuan smelled the fragrance of the person in his arms and couldn't help but hug her tighter. He sighed and said, "The border is bitterly cold. Even if you go there, I will be in the military camp for a long time and won't be able to take care of you. On the contrary, because of me, you will be more likely to be targeted by spies."

Seeing his firm attitude, Wen Rushi knew that her plan to go to the border with him was doomed!

"Then I won't go with you. I'll take a carriage later, okay?" Seeing that this wouldn't work, Wen Rushi had no choice but to back down.

Yue Lingyuan hesitated for a moment, and seeing that he couldn't persuade him, he said, "Fine, I'll leave some men for you. After I leave, I'll have the guards in the manor escort you to the border."
