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

Jin Wuchen overheard the conversation between the seventeen people outside the door, which they were exchanging using their inner energy.

He unconsciously tightened his grip on Chu Luo's hand.

Chu Luo woke up as a result, and saw that it was getting late.

If she continued to sleep like this, it would be very awkward if they looked at each other when he woke up. So she gently removed Jin Wuchen's hand and got up.

I tiptoed out the door.

"The young mistress is already up, but why isn't the young master awake yet? Where did she go? Did she abandon the young master to go see Young Master Fei?"

Not long after, Chu Luo returned, carrying two food boxes in her slender, fair hands.

"Seventeen, you're in the courtyard, aren't you?"

Chu Luo imitated Jin Wuchen's way of calling out "Seventeen," thinking that they must be hiding somewhere.

Seventeen thought for a moment and then appeared. "What brings you here, young mistress?"

"This is food I got from the kitchen. You've all been working hard here watching over us."

Chu Luo handed him the larger food box.

"Thank you, young mistress," Seventeen said without hesitation, reaching out to accept the gift.

"Could this be poisonous? Should we test it?"

Seventeen didn't say anything, but took a piece, smelled it, and started eating it.

"I'll have one too!"

"It's delicious! The young mistress is so kind; she even thought of bringing us food."

"Beautiful inside and out"

"You have no ambition. What did you just say?"

"If you have ambition, then don't eat it!"

When she returned to her room, Jin Wuchen was already up and washing up.

"Are you hungry? I'll go get some breakfast. Senior Long Yu is still sleeping. His apprentice said he might be sleeping for several days."

Jin Wuchen came over and helped her get some food, saying, "He's always like this."

"Senior Long Yu, you invited him from Haiwaihai. How come Haiwaihai is so close? I thought it was far away. You arrived in just two days."

Chu Luo asked deliberately.

He is from the overseas seas, but he did not come from the overseas seas.

Jin Wuchen's answer confirmed that she had indeed expected it.

Long Yu must have come from overseas long ago and been on a large expedition, otherwise how could he have arrived so quickly?

She remembered that Lao Longyu had said that his hometown was far away, and even he, once he left, would only be able to go to a place called Yigu if no one came to pick him up.

The Valley of Medicine was where he could interact with the outside world.

The fact that Long Yu came out so early suggests that the traitor had already appeared, and he was searching for the traitor in Dazheng, which is why he was able to arrive so quickly.

Chu Luo was unaware whether Long Yu knew who the traitor was loyal to.

"Have you met Long Yu before?"

"no"

Chu Luo racked her brains, trying to figure out how to explain what she had blurted out when she saw Long Yu that day.

"Then how do you know his name?"

"because……"

"One lie leads to countless others to cover it up; think carefully before you speak."

Judging from her expression, Jin Wuchen figured she was probably thinking about how to make something up.

Chu Luo gave up struggling and replied, "I don't mean to lie, but you wouldn't believe me anyway."

"Tell me"

Jin Wuchen wanted to see what outrageous reason she could give.

"I had a dream once, and Senior Long Yu was in it. It's ridiculous, and no one can verify it."

Jin Wuchen, unfazed, asked, "What else did you see in your dream?"

"In my dream, Senior Long Yu said he left his hometown to find someone. I don't remember that dream very clearly, and I don't know who he was looking for."

Chu Luo's words were half true and half false.

Jin Wuchen remained silent upon hearing this. Chu Luo put down her spoon. "I told you you wouldn't believe me!"

Seeing that she had barely eaten any food, Jin Wuchen said helplessly, "I believe you, hurry up and eat."

"Why would you believe that?" Chu Luo couldn't understand why he believed her.

She said the last time there was an epidemic at the dam was a dream, but this time it happened again.

She immediately attributes any doubts to dreams, without any evidence or way to disprove them.

Even if she were Jin Wuchen, she wouldn't believe her.

Jin Wuchen served her some food and said, "I can't find a reason not to believe you for now, so let's just believe you for the time being."

Chu Luo thought to herself that his trust was no different from his distrust.

Jin Wuchen frowned slightly, looking at Chu Luo who was only stirring the soup with a spoon. "Why aren't you eating again?"

Chu Luo sighed softly, "Talking too much makes me lose my appetite."

Looking at the food, Jin Wuchen had other plans. Taking advantage of Long Yu's sleep, he intended to take her back. "You probably won't like the food here. We'll go home later."

Chu Luo was somewhat surprised, "Leaving so soon? I don't have any problems with the food."

"Otherwise what? What, you don't want to leave this place and don't want to go back?"

Seeing that she didn't want to leave, Jin Wuchen wondered if she had been bewitched and brainwashed by Long Yu.

"No, I was thinking that there are still people keeping an eye on Senior Long Yu in Haiwaihai. If you leave, what if someone comes to arrest him?"

Jin Wuchen stood up, tugged at his sleeve, and said nonchalantly, "I've disliked him for a long time. Fei Zhiyou is awake now, so he's useless. It's good that he's gone; he'll be out of my sight."

The two didn't get along from the very first day, which Chu Luo noticed, but the fact that they turned on each other so quickly surprised her.

Chu Luo whispered her opinion, "Isn't this like discarding a donkey after it has served its purpose? Turning against someone so quickly, isn't that too heartless? It's not a good idea."

Jin Wuchen noticed the commotion outside the door and deliberately spoke up, "He's not pulling my millstone. He saved Fei Zhiyou because he wanted to, not because of me."

"Jin Yuan, you brat, who are you calling a donkey?" Long Yu roared as he stormed in.

Jin Wuchen looked like he didn't want to pay him any attention. "Whoever you think it is, that's who it is. Who has time to argue with you about these things?"

Unable to gain the upper hand verbally, Long Yu stopped struggling. "If you're going to leave, then leave now. This girl has talent; she's a promising talent. You have to stay here."

As Long Yu spoke, he stood between the two of them, shielding Chu Luo behind him.

Jin Wuchen said as if he had heard a joke, "That's really interesting. I can't take my people with me. Why would I leave them here for you? What are you dreaming of?"

Long Yu knew that he couldn't reason with him, so he turned to look at Chu Luo sincerely and said, "Baby, come with me. I can teach you medicine and take you overseas so you won't have to depend on the Jin family for survival."

He thought about this girl so much that he didn't want to sleep, only thinking that he couldn't let this kind-hearted, loyal, and really pleasing girl be ruined by Jin Yuan.

Jin Wuchen looked at Chu Luo, who seemed to be genuinely thinking about the matter and appeared somewhat unhappy.

He wasn't worried about Long Yu, but he wasn't confident about Chu Luo. He said to Long Yu, "If you want to teach her anything, you've been to the Jin family before. What's the point of keeping her here?"

“This is different,” Long Yu said, as she was about to take someone away and didn’t want her to stay by Jin Yuan’s side.

Just then, Xingzhu rushed in and hugged her tightly, calling her "Young Madam."

For some reason, she hugged Chu Luo and cried like a baby.

Chu Luo quickly pulled her outside to ask what was wrong, "It's only been a few days since we last met, how come you're crying your eyes out as soon as we meet?"

"Young Madam, I love someone, but he has someone else who loves him and no longer loves me."

Xingzhu couldn't help but cry again.

When Xingzhu told her that there were people who loved each other, Chuluo thought it was just children playing house and didn't take it seriously. Little did she know that it was actually true.

Xingzhu's joy, her first stirrings of love, shattered before it even began, leaving her heart broken as well.

Although Jin Wuchen and Long Yu did not come out, they could still hear their conversation.

Xingzhu is cheerful and simple-minded; she has never cried so much as if she were about to die.

Chu Luo hugged her tenderly and asked, "When did this happen?"

"Yesterday, I learned that Young Master Fei had recovered, so I wanted to come and see you, Madam. But on the way, I saw him with another woman. I went up to confront him, and he said he had someone new he liked and didn't like me anymore."

Xingzhu cried so hard she could barely breathe. Chuluo hugged her and patted her back gently to comfort her, but it didn't seem to help.

Jin Wuchen came out, and Long Yu followed him out.

"He's fickle and easily bored, lacking in both affection and fickleness. He's a real scoundrel," Long Yu couldn't help but curse.

Chu Luo didn't understand why Long Yu kept looking at Jin Wuchen while saying this, her actions seemed like she was indirectly criticizing him.
