The moonlight is hazy,

A woman's voice came from a male guest room in the East Wing.

"Brother Gu, I want to go to the martial world with you."

Zhou Xinyue stood in front of the man, her eyes filled with pitifulness.

Looking at the pitiful appearance of the woman in front of him, Gu Chaomu felt a pang of pity.

"But it will be very dangerous for a weak woman like you to come with me into the martial world."

"No, Brother Gu, Xinyue has an uncle who is currently traveling the martial arts world."

I'm thinking about how to find him. If I stay by Brother Gu's side, I'm sure I'll see him again in the martial world.

Zhou Xinyue suddenly remembered something and excitedly said:

"My uncle has a martial arts manual on him."

"What secret technique?"

"I don't know either, but it seems to enhance internal strength."

I think you might need it.

As long as you take me with you, we can adventure together.

"Then I'll help you find that martial arts manual."

"... "

Gu Chaomu was slightly surprised and somewhat moved, thinking to herself:

How could she know that her internal energy had reached a bottleneck and that she couldn't break through it no matter what she did?

As a result, he could only learn half of the skills his master gave him.

but,

God help me too.

What you desire, you will find.

If he gets his hands on the secret manual, his internal strength will break through, and he will achieve mastery of the technique.

Seizing the position of leader of the martial arts alliance is just around the corner.

Haha.

Gu Chaomu was secretly pleased, but outwardly she held back her laughter.

Pretend to be worried about her:

"It would be extremely dangerous for a frail woman like you, who doesn't know martial arts, to get involved in the martial arts world."

Magistrate Zhou wouldn't allow you to do that either.

"Why? Why can Qiao Wanwan do it, but I can't?"

"she…"

"What she can do, I can do too."

If you are worried about my personal safety.

I can have my father hire capable people to protect me.

Brother Gu, please rest assured. I won't implicate you.

As Gu Chaomu listened to her arrange everything, her heart was filled with a quiet joy.

He will never refuse anyone who wants to help him.

most,

Zhou Xinyue has someone protecting her.

No matter what happens, I can ignore everything and face the enemy head-on.

What he disliked most was a woman like Qiao Wanwan, who was never settled down.

This caused him to be constantly on the move, fighting one moment and distracted the next, having to protect her safety at all times.

Although this happened a while ago.

Qiao Qiao and Wan Wan are much more well-behaved now than before.

He likes women who don't need to bother him.

Just like Zhou Xinyue right in front of us.

Gu Chaomu was very good at putting on an act, explaining his words.

"I didn't mean to implicate you, Brother Gu is just very worried about your safety."

Otherwise, it would break my heart.

"Brother Gu..."

What happened to Zhou Xinyue when the man she liked told her that he felt sorry for her?

My heart was pounding like a drum, making a "thump-thump" sound.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed.

Gu Chaomu looked at the woman's appearance,

You can tell that the other person has already been attracted by your charm.

He gently stroked the woman's hair, a gesture that was both natural and tender.

"Snack Buckle"

Suddenly, a knock came at the door, interrupting their tender moment.

The woman blushed and took a few steps back.

Gu Chaomu awkwardly withdrew her hand, which had been hovering in mid-air.

He felt dissatisfied with those outside who lacked tact and understanding.

As he walked towards the door, he shouted angrily:

"who is it?"

"... "

The person outside the door paused slightly and lowered their hand from the door.

"Excuse me, Young Master Gu, I'm sorry to bother you. I am Xie Ze."

Upon hearing Xie Ze's voice, Gu Chaomu's slight anger immediately dissipated.

He quickly opened the door and smiled at the man in the wheelchair:

"Brother Xie, what brings you here so late?"

"... "

The man before me had a handsome face but a pair of sinister eyes.

He glanced at the extra woman in the room but didn't say anything.

Gu Chaomu smiled awkwardly and explained:

"Miss Zhou had something to tell me, so she came over."

Now that we've settled things, please go back.

Zhou Xinyue also realized something from Gu Chaomu's hint.

With a shy expression, he said:

"Then I'll head back now. See you tomorrow, Brother Gu."

"it is good."

Watching Zhou Xinyue's departing figure, Gu Chaomu asked Xie Ze somewhat guiltily.

You must have heard what happened just now, right?

Don't misunderstand, I agreed to Miss Zhou's offer because it was a condition that was favorable to me.

Wanwan's side...

Xie Ze's eyes were deep and slightly disappointed.

It turns out that Gu Chaomu was afraid that she would tell Qiao Wanwan about his midnight rendezvous with Miss Zhou.

It's very likely that this will ruin Qiao Wanwan's feelings for him.

"Young Master Gu, there's no need to explain. I won't say anything more, so you can rest assured."

"Haha, that's good."

Gu Chaomu breathed a sigh of relief; it was necessary to explain.

"Young Master Xie also knows Qiao Wanwan's personality; she's always been willful and capricious."

If I upset her, she might sneak away, which worries me.

"... "

"To avoid arousing her suspicion, I have something I'd like to ask you."

"what's up?"

"Help me conceal my collaboration with Miss Zhou."

Furthermore, Mr. Gu wishes to ask you to publicly acknowledge your collaboration with Ms. Zhou.

"... "

Xie Ze's eyes darkened.

Therefore,

Is Gu Chaomu trying to use his own name to shield himself from the business relationship between him and Miss Zhou?

Seeing that the other person was still deep in thought, Gu Chaomu continued:

"I'm doing this for Wanwan's sake."

If Miss Zhou cooperates with me, Wanwan will definitely overthink it and throw a tantrum.

Every time Xie Ze listened to Gu Chaomu speak, he couldn't stop mentioning the name Qiao Wanwan.

I feel annoyed.

He frowned, somewhat displeased, and said:

"So you're just letting me lie to her along with you guys?"

No, no, no, this is not a lie.

If I can get my hands on that secret manual that Miss Zhou mentioned, that will be my goal.

I will never forget the kindness shown to me by Young Master Xie.

"... "

He doesn't need to.

Those things were completely useless to him.

However, since he rarely needed my help, I didn't want to refuse.

So Xie Ze finally nodded and agreed.

"it is good."

...

the next day,

Many people walked out of the main gate of the Zhou residence.

"Young heroes, I hope you will protect my daughter and ensure her safe journey to Biluo Manor."

I wrote to her uncle, and he's waiting for you there.

I hope we can meet again someday.

"Yes, Lord Zhou, please rest assured."

With the assurance of this young master Xie beside me, his guards will certainly protect Xinyue completely.

I will protect her every step of the way…

"... "

Gu Chaomu suddenly used Xie Ze as a shield, leaving Xie Ze's unsuspecting butler completely bewildered!

What business is it of my young master to protect Magistrate Zhou's daughter?

He glanced at his young master, who seemed completely indifferent and unmoved.

It's as if Young Master Gu wasn't talking about him.

Did the young master make some kind of agreement with Young Master Gu that he didn't tell him?

Qiao Wanwan watched as the people over there chatted for a long time without making any move to leave.

She went back to her carriage and sat down, quietly waiting for them to leave together.

Because there was a rich young lady on the road.

Another carriage was added at the back.

Qiao Wanwan also knew that Zhou Xinyue would definitely travel with her.

It's obvious at a glance that it's because of Gu Chaomu.

However, what she didn't understand was...

Why did Gu Chaomu place all the blame on Xie Ze?

It's clear that Zhou Xinyue's appearance should have been advantageous to him from the start.

She didn't understand even more.

Xie Ze is such a simp who fawns over Gu Chaomu; what a waste of his good looks.

Such a transcendent figure as him should inspire awe in everyone.

Hey!

Qiao Wanwan could only prop her face up by the window and quietly watch the people outside approach.

The "gurgling" sound of the wheelchair

This reminded Qiao Wanwan that Xie Ze had arrived.

She waved enthusiastically, her smile always meeting the man's face.

All that's missing is a "Hi!"

But the other party frowned slightly.

They looked at her as if she were an idiot.

"... "

Qiao Wanwan could only awkwardly withdraw her hand and stop causing trouble...
