Outside Fenggu City, Shushu was enthusiastically queuing in the line to enter the city, moving forward little by little with the flow of people.
Just as about thirty more people were about to enter the city, Shushu suddenly felt his sleeve being tugged, and at the same time, he heard Xuejie's voice transmission in his ear.
"Shushu, look at those two people coming out behind us, aren't they Qu Ruxue and Zang Wenxing?"
Upon hearing this, Shushu paused and instinctively turned around to look in the direction Xuejie had indicated.
Sure enough, Qu Ruxue and Zang Wenxing were seen leisurely walking out of the forest behind them.
After coming out, seeing the long queue to enter the city, the two of them showed no intention of queuing. Instead, they walked straight past the crowd and headed directly toward the city gate.
Shushu, with his sharp eyes, noticed that a demonic cultivator in the back of the line was unhappy with their blatant cutting in line and was about to lecture them when his companion quickly covered his mouth.
Even from a great distance, Shushu could still hear the man's companion whispering in his ear, "What are you doing? Those are Miss Qu and the second young master of the Zang family."
Since everyone was a cultivator, and Shushu had heard what he said, almost everyone else in line had also heard it.
Those who harbored the same resentment as the guy who was covered up immediately fell silent after learning the identities of Qu Ruxue and Zang Wenxing, and dared not say another word.
The worst fear is that one careless move could anger Qu Ruxue and Zang Wenxing, resulting in losing both their wife and their army, a loss that outweighs any gains.
Qu Ruxue and Zang Wenxing, as the main characters, naturally heard the commotion.
The two seemed to be used to this scene. They only glanced disdainfully at the two noisy demonic cultivators, and after receiving their apologies in unison, they continued to walk arrogantly forward.
Soon, under the watchful eyes of everyone and amidst their envious gazes, the two of them passed through most of the line and gradually approached the millet and sweet potato area without any obstruction.
Everything was fine when passing Xuejie, but just as she was about to pass the sorghum, Qu Ruxue suddenly stopped abruptly, bringing the car to a halt without warning.
Zang Wenxing, who nearly bumped into her from behind, was startled: "Ruxue, what happened? What happened? Why did you suddenly stop?"
The three questions were filled with obvious complaints and dissatisfaction. Qu Ruxue's eyes flashed with displeasure. She glanced at Shushu next to her, and with a quick look, she turned around and apologized softly.
"Sorry, Wenxing, I just suddenly thought of a magic technique, so I got distracted. Let's just line up here to enter the city."
As she spoke, she cut right between Shushu and Xuejie, trying to squeeze into the line.
Seeing this, Xuejie quickly said, "I'm with her."
Taking advantage of the momentum of the group ahead, she quickly took a step, clearing space behind her and giving Qu Ruxue no chance to join their group.
Those behind Xuejie, seeing Xuejie like this, originally wanted to follow, but after meeting the gazes of Zang Wenxing and Qu Ruxue, they became somewhat afraid.
Thus, Qu Ruxue stood in line behind Xuejie.
Zang Wenxing reluctantly joined the queue behind Qu Ruxue, somewhat puzzled as to why Qu Ruxue, who could have entered the city directly, insisted on queuing here.
But when he met Qu Ruxue's almond-shaped eyes, which seemed to hold endless affection, Zang Wenxing immediately found a reason for her.
He thought that Ru Xue must be reluctant to go to the city and separate from him so early, so she deliberately used the queue to delay the time so that she could spend more time with him. That must be it.
Zang Wenxing thought to himself that once he returned home, he would persuade his family to cancel his engagement with Hei Wanran and then propose to the Qu family again.
Qu Ruxue was unaware of Zang Wenxing's inner thoughts, or perhaps she didn't care even if she did. At this moment, Qu Ruxue's attention was entirely focused on the sweet potatoes in front of her.
Even though Yukisuke was between them, it did nothing to stop her from investigating Shushu.
Shushu naturally sensed the subtle probing from behind, but didn't pay much attention to it.
Firstly, both she and Xuejie had changed their appearances, auras, and attire, so Qu Ruxue would not be able to recognize them.
Secondly, she also asked Mo Xin, the two divine artifacts, and her own ancestor to join forces and, under the guidance of the encyclopedia, complete the concealment of the destiny.
Now, let alone celestial artifacts, even if a true immortal came, they would have to shed a layer of skin to see through and perceive one's specific fortune, and even after shedding that skin, they might not be able to see the truth.
Therefore, when faced with Qu Ruxue's scrutiny, Shushu pretended not to notice and let her look at him openly, while he calmly followed the group forward, not caring what she thought.
Indeed, Qu Ruxue followed behind them for half an hour, but still found nothing. Looking around, Shushu was just an ordinary cultivator.
Feeling a vague unease, as if something had escaped her control, Qu Ruxue steeled her resolve, and a small, milky-white sphere appeared in her hand.
Although Shushu didn't care about Qu Ruxue's staring, she had been secretly watching Qu Ruxue's movements. When Qu Ruxue took out the small round ball, Shushu naturally noticed it as well.
And the moment the small sphere appeared, the potato keenly sensed that the air around it stagnated for a moment, as if something had enveloped it and then quickly moved away.
In that instant, Shushu confirmed that the small sphere was, if nothing unexpected happened, the magical artifact that the person behind the succubus had given to Qu Ruxue in their memories—an artifact that could sense the fortune of others.
Secretly memorizing the shape of the small round ball, Shushu didn't make any rash moves. Pretending not to have noticed anything, he calmly moved forward with the group and even managed to send a telepathic message to Yukisuke to keep calm.
Completely ignoring how stunned and incredulous Qu Ruxue behind her was after receiving feedback from the little sphere that she was 'not a chosen one's destiny'.
To be honest, at this moment, Qu Ruxue was truly questioning the meaning of life.
She didn't understand why the little ball kept telling her that the person had no luck, and she had even seen it with her own eyes, but she still felt uneasy.
At the same time, a voice was faintly telling her: It's not like that, it's not like that.
But she couldn't figure it out for a while. Qu Ruxue was so anxious that she wanted to scratch her head, but she still couldn't find any clues.
Just as Shushu paid the city entrance fee and was about to disappear around the street corner, Qu Ruxue held back for a long time, but finally couldn't help herself and quickly stepped forward to stop Shushu: "Fellow Daoist, please wait."
