"Pfft! Hahahaha..."

After hearing Cen Xi's complete explanation, Shen Jinchen burst into laughter.

"Wife, do you need my help to resolve this matter? I'll feel at ease knowing that Jun Jianchou will have someone to take care of him for the rest of his life."

“If you dare to interfere, I dare to divorce you and run away with Jun Jianchou. Although Zhu Yanniang is my friend, I really think she is not good enough for Jun Jianchou. Besides, even if she is a woman from a respectable family, I cannot spread rumors about her. If Zhu Yanniang wants to confess, let her do it by herself. We cannot interfere.”

Cen Xi's heart still leans towards Jun Jianchou. Even if she doesn't like him, she can't possibly push Zhu Yanniang to his side.

Not only because Zhu Yanniang was unworthy, but also because she could not do it.

Besides, she felt that she wasn't good enough for him. If Zhu Yanniang really liked her and Jun Jianchou didn't mind her past, she wouldn't say a word. The key point was that the other party hadn't been honest with Jun Jianchou, but had told her.

She was really a little flustered.

"Alright, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Zhu Yanniang is indeed unworthy. You should be able to get out of bed today. I originally wanted to wait until you were feeling better before going, but seeing how well you pleased your husband today, I'll give you a reward. Come on! I'll take you to see those two people who wanted to kill you."

Shen Jinchen had finally managed to appease his wife, so he naturally didn't dare to cause any more trouble. However, this news did make him happy. His rival had been eyed by such a woman; he could laugh in his dreams.

I thought that Yan Taizu was so capable, but in the end he was injured by them and imprisoned.

He was also curious about the so-called "life-threatening tribulation." Someone had once told his fortune, saying that he was a hidden dragon but would not live long. He was told that he would only be able to turn misfortune into good fortune if he met the woman who would bring him this life-threatening tribulation.

At first, he didn't believe it, but after meeting Cen Xi, he did.

Perhaps he truly could only restore the kingdom, but not ascend the throne.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Cen Xi's eyes sparkled. She also wanted to know what use he was to that Yan Taizu. Wasn't the trap that the other party had carefully set for him just to kill her?

It's all about timing and fate! It's a shame she just can't die, so what!

The two people in the woodshed, their bodies wrapped in gauze, watched as a man and a woman stepped into the room, their malice and hatred beyond words.

Yan Shengxiao originally wanted to recover his strength as soon as possible and escape, but unfortunately the opponent's acupoint striking method was their unique secret technique. It would take at least ten days to break through the acupoints and recover his strength. However, he did not expect that the two adulterers would appear in front of them the very next day.

Because of the forbidden technique he had used, the backlash was too great. As soon as the woman entered, he felt his soul become unstable and his heart clench with pain. If they met like this, his soul would leave his body in just fifteen minutes, and he would be unable to reincarnate or be reborn for a hundred years. However, he was currently helpless.

"Husband, look at his face, he looks pained, like he has angina. What could be the reason?"

Cen Xi now reacts quite strongly whenever she gets close to the other person, and she becomes somewhat excited, but she doesn't know why.

"Judging from his appearance, it must be some kind of forbidden technique backlash. Honey, you said you were reincarnated here, and your body was occupied by other souls before, and it only recovered its original state in the last year, right?"

"Yes! Exactly! You mean he used forbidden magic on me before, and now he's suffering the consequences of that forbidden magic, right?"

After thinking about it, Cen Xi confirmed Shen Jinchen's guess.

"Hmm! As soon as you were born, auspicious clouds covered the sky above the capital, which is why the Imperial Observatory said you were a lucky star. I'm afraid this person believed it too, so he didn't hesitate to use forbidden techniques to kill you. Unfortunately, in this world, even if someone defies fate, they may eventually return to their original state. Wife, tell me, isn't this person just reaping what they sowed?"

Shen Jinchen glanced at Yan Shengxiao with a scrutinizing look, his smile enigmatic.

"It's possible. My master said that the other person has a birthmark on his groin. Go and confirm it. This person used that guy as a stand-in last time. We can't arrest the wrong person."

Cen Xi nodded, glanced at Yan Shengxiao and Xiao Qiliang who was pretending to be dead, and then made a request to Shen Jinchen.

"Okay, what kind of birthmark?"

Shen Jinchen was also afraid of having mistaken the person, so he really needed to confirm.

"There's a very lifelike birthmark on my left thigh. I don't know what it looks like, but you can tell it moves because of that."

If Shen Jinchen weren't here, she might have personally pulled down his pants, but now, she wouldn't dare. Her husband was here, and to avoid unnecessary trouble, she should be more reserved.

"good!"

After responding, Shen Jinchen glanced at Yan Shengxiao with a smile, and with a flick of his hand, he untied the other man's belt and then pulled down his left thigh.

After taking one look, it was finally confirmed that the person did indeed have a birthmark on their left thigh, resembling a bright red butterfly, lifelike.

It does resemble the butterfly he holds, which is quite interesting.

"You... you think you've won today, now that you've defeated us? Dream on!"

Seeing that the other party had pulled down his pants, Yan Shengxiao felt a moment of shame and indignation, but more than that, he was furious. Damn it, he had never suffered such humiliation in either of his lives.

However, his skills were no joke. His body couldn't move, but his hands quickly regained their mobility. He swiftly formed hand seals, forcing his soul to leave his body; he couldn't be too close to that woman. He had to escape, even if his body couldn't escape, his soul had to.

The fact that Heaven allowed him to wander the world like a lost soul for so long proves that there is nothing he cannot overcome.

As the saying goes, "Where there's life, there's hope." He had heard of a forbidden technique in the Miao region of the southwest that could possess someone and prevent them from dying. He was going to give it a try.

Cen Xi couldn't understand the other person's hand seals, but a quick glance revealed a butterfly mark on the other person's thigh that quickly disappeared.

He then hurriedly called out to Shen Jinchen:

"Oh no, his soul is about to leave his body!"

Shen Jinchen reacted quickly to the shout, placing his hands on his chest and muttering something, but in the end he still couldn't stop the other person, who ran away.

Seeing that the other person's body had become a withered corpse, Cen Xi finally understood the meaning of the prophecy. It turned out that she really was useful to the other person. As long as she stood in front of the other person, the other person would uncontrollably experience palpitations, weakness, or even death.

"I didn't expect him to actually have some skills. Just how many secret techniques did the Hidden Sect's ancestor steal back then? My sect alone has a whole bunch, and it seems that this Ancestor Yan has quite a few as well."

Looking at the corpse, Shen Jinchen realized for the first time that this person was a bit difficult to deal with.

"Even if it's not too much, we must clean house for our sect and stop him from continuing to wreak havoc on the world. We must take responsibility."

It was only at this moment that Cen Xi truly realized the burden on her shoulders and the significance of her existence.

However, to be fair, the fact that he resisted her was the backlash of using forbidden magic; otherwise, she didn't seem to have any real effect on him.

How do you explain this concept of fate and calamity?

Did Heaven foresee that Yan Shengxiao would take action against him when he was a child?

Or is it because of her reputation that the other party feared fate and personally put shackles on himself?
