Not following the expected path? Reborn and unexpectedly married to a demon.

Jin Wuchen escorted her back, and the two walked in silence through the secret passage.

Chu Luo didn't know what Jin Wuchen meant, and felt a little guilty looking at Jin Wuchen beside her, who was smiling cryptically.

Although he had a handsome smile, he rarely smiled, so this inexplicable smile made her feel a little scared.

She disguised herself as Fei Zhiyou to save her from dire straits, but he didn't say a word and just smiled cryptically. It all seemed really strange.

Chu Luo couldn't help but try to say something, "My impulsive act was perhaps not quite right, which is why you kept laughing."

Jin Wuchen shook his head. Chu Luo stopped walking. "Then what exactly are you laughing at? I'm getting a little scared if you don't explain clearly."

"What are you afraid of?" Jin Wuchen asked.

"You were laughing like that when you hurt someone with the cup just now."

Judging from Chu Luo's posture, he felt that if he didn't make things clear, she might not leave. It was like seeing a child on the street who wanted something, and when the parents wouldn't buy it, she would just stand there and refuse. It was quite cute.

Jin Wuchen laughed even more happily and said, "That's great, this is how a girl your age should be."

"what?"

Chu Luo heard it clearly, but she still found it hard to believe. She had originally thought that if he didn't want to say it, he wouldn't say it.

If he just stayed there and didn't leave, it would seem like he was being unreasonable, but he actually said it was fine.

Jin Wuchen paused, cleared his throat, and said, "I laughed because Eryi and Seventeen said that our young mistress is no pushover."

"Ah, where are Seventeen and Twenty-One? When did they say that?" Chu Luo was startled. Apart from Jin Wuchen, she hadn't seen anyone else.

Just now

"Young Master, you could have just heard it, why did you have to complain?"

Suddenly, two people, one tall and one short, appeared beside the secret passage. It was the shorter one who spoke.

The tallest is seventeen, which Chu Luo recognizes. The youngest should be number twenty-one out of twenty-four. He is handsome but still young, and looks like a mischievous boy.

Seventeen tapped him on the head and said, "Who told you to be so incompetent that the young master heard you?"

Er Yi muttered resentfully, "I'll be more careful next time, and I'll be gentler."

Jin Wuchen chuckled and walked over, tapping his forehead lightly. "You're going to say that again next time? Is that how you use a 'easy-going' lamp? Your studies aren't very good."

"Young Master, I'm not aiming to become the top scholar. I've only just been given this opportunity to serve you on a mission. Please don't send me back to my studies."

The young man was small but bold; he knew that the young master meant he was going to be sent back to school.

Qiao Shiwu, who is about the same age as him, has already carried out so many missions, while he still has to go to school. It's hilarious.

Chu Luo was surprised to see how they interacted; she hadn't realized that Jin Wuchen had this side to him.

She had always seen that orders were strictly obeyed, and thought that they were completely obedient to Jin Wuchen and dared not utter a single word of dissent.

"How can someone so uncultured surpass Qiao Shiwu?"

Jin Wuchen hit the nail on the head, and Er Yi instantly deflated.

Er Yi thought for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, I'll go back to my studies."

Jin Wuchen shook his head and added, "And then, you forgot something else?"

Er Yi thought for a moment, then walked up to Chu Luo and admitted his mistake, "Young Madam, I was wrong. I shouldn't have called you a troublemaker. Now I'm the one who's easy to deal with; I'll just blow out the lamp and go back."

Hearing his words, Chu Luo couldn't help but chuckle, shook her head, and said, "It's alright, I believe you'll definitely come back."

This little incident temporarily put Chu Luo's anxiety, tension, and worries to the back of her mind.

Chu Luo asked Jin Wuchen, "Since Er Yi is gone, there will be one less person. Will that affect the arrangements?"

She remembered that it seemed like everyone was responsible for a certain area.

She could tell that although Er Yi was young, his martial arts skills were not low.

"It's alright. It was Qin Er Yi who left; Li Er Yi or Wang Er Yi will take his place. Besides, I'm here."

Jin Wuchen's words reassured her.

Chu Luo then realized that the Twenty-Four Fiends were not actually twenty-four people, but twenty-four teams. If they were covered up, outsiders would not be able to tell who was who and would just think that they were all the same people.

Chu Luo followed up on Er Yi's words and asked him, "Aren't you worried that I'm really a troublemaker?"

Jin Wuchen's lips curled up, looking forward to it. "Then I really want to see just how troublesome you are."

Pleasant times always pass too quickly. When Chu Luo arrived at Fei Zhiyou's house, she couldn't help but feel melancholy again.

Long Yu's makeshift medicine hut was already filled with all kinds of medicinal herbs, and he had tasted so many that his mouth was numb.

Chu Luo went forward to help, but Jin Wuchen glanced at her and then went back to guard the Fei family compound.

Chu Luo looked at the three medicines that Long Yu had picked out and asked him if none of them would work.

"These three are the most suitable of all the medicines, but they can only be used as medicine, not as a catalyst. The catalyst must have a vibrant power, be able to contain the medicine, and also play a finishing touch role."

Long Yu could only brew a few bowls of the basic medicine, and wanted to try different kinds separately.

Chu Luo recalled the process of Old Long Yu taking her to treat people, and then remembered the strange, eccentric and daring prescriptions she had obtained in another life.

The medicine that can change the sound, the medicine that can change the pulse of men and women, and some poisons were all developed by her using the basics taught by Long Yu, plus those few prescriptions.

That night, Long Yu gave Fei Zhiyou three kinds of medicine, but there was no effect. At dawn, Chu Luo heard the commotion outside and knew that those people had come again.

While Long Yu was searching for and testing medicines at the medicine hut, Chu Luo secretly gave Fei Zhiyou a catalyst before going out to help Jin Wuchen buy time.

She was gambling, gambling that the medicinal ingredient would have some effect.

Seeing that Fei Zhiyou had no reaction after drinking it, she had no choice but to hurry out and give Long Yu some more time.

Jin Wuchen sat inside the room, with several masked men who had never appeared before standing beside him.

Chu Luo felt a chill creeping up her spine as she approached; these individuals seemed even more murderous than the Twenty-Four Fiends.

"A whole day has passed, and they said they'd let us see them, but where are they?"

"Could it really be a scam?"

The bluebird standing outside felt panicked. Yesterday, he thought the young master had really recovered, but it turned out to be just a temporary deception.

"Where is your explanation? Where is Fei Zhiyou?"

"It's so noisy so early in the morning," Fei Zhiyou's voice came from inside the house.

The bluebird listened carefully and realized that it wasn't his young master's voice, so he had to stop him.

Some people noticed something fishy about it. If the person was well, they would have just shown up. Only when the person is not well would they be making such a fuss.

They found someone familiar with Fei Zhiyou's voice, and upon closer listening, they also noticed something was amiss.

This time they rushed in, only to find a slightly thinner Fei Zhiyou drinking porridge, and no one else in the room.

Qingniao rubbed her eyes, looking at Fei Zhiyou, the "Young Master," in disbelief.

"What's wrong? You're getting more and more useless. You can't even make me eat breakfast properly, let alone stop people from doing it." Fei Zhiyou's words were full of displeasure.

The bluebird was so excited that tears streamed down its face; it really was its young master.

"It's the Bluebird's fault. They've made things difficult for us time and time again, insisting on barging in," the Bluebird said, standing beside him.

Fei Zhiyou looked at everyone calmly and said, "You guys are asking for trouble, coming here time and time again."
