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

Jin Wuchen said with heartache, "I will protect you from now on."

Chu Luo wasn't feeling touched; instead, she was wondering why she always needed someone to protect her.

She's always waiting for someone to protect her; she even depends on others for her own safety. How could she possibly kill Feng Zhe?

Chu Luo had a new plan.

Jin Wuchen's feelings for her deepened.

Chu Luo thought that if she could explain things clearly, then her relationship with Jin Wuchen wouldn't be considered broken.

Then she can focus her attention on finding Luo Fei.

Only by finding Luo Fei could she possibly find out why Feng Zheming, who was clearly on the verge of death, was still full of energy.

The next day, Jin Wuchen went out.

Taking advantage of this moment, Chu Luo disguised herself as a handsome young man based on the information sent by Mr. Shen.

Go to the brothel, Qianjin Pavilion, by the Misty Rain and Painted Bridge.

The news says that Luo Fei has been lingering at Qianjin Pavilion for a month or two.

But she wouldn't go every day. If Chu Luo wanted to go to Qianjin Pavilion, she would first go and explore the place, to see how it worked.

Qianjin Pavilion is one of the largest brothels in Jiangzhou.

Because of its high-class nature and high cost, the attendees have already been screened.

As soon as she entered, she said that it was her first time there and she wanted to see the song and dance performance first, and handed over a bag of silver.

Soon someone led her to a private room on the second floor.

Chu Luo felt that this place was similar to Lantai Xiaoyuan, where everything was in good order and lively but not noisy.

She kept pondering what "Yanliu Huaqiao" (misty willows and painted bridges) meant, "Juedai Fenghua" (peerless beauty) meant a person, and what "Fenglian Cuimu" (wind-blown curtains and emerald screens) referred to.

She muttered it out of the blue without even realizing it.

"Young master, Miss Dongfang already has guests. If you wish to see her, you must first present your visiting card. Only if she agrees to see you will you be granted an audience."

Chu Luo was taken aback; she hadn't said she wanted to see any Eastern girl.

"You were mentioning 'wind-blown curtains and emerald screens,' I thought you were referring to the name of the young lady's reception room."

Chu Luo then realized that the different girls' reception rooms here were all named after lines of poetry.

The bright moon in the east, visible through the wind-blown curtains and emerald screens, is one of the most valuable "golden trees" in this Thousand Gold Pavilion.

Another money tree is Liu Fuyao, who, along with Dongfang Mingyue, won the title of courtesan.

"Is it really that difficult to see Miss Liu Fuyao?"

Chu Luo asked.

"It's not as difficult to meet Miss Dongfang, who is free-spirited and capricious; Miss Fuyao is easier to meet."

The person who brought her was actually gesturing for her to see Fuyao.

But she came to see Luo Fei, who had his eye on Mingyue.

She handed over another silver ingot. "I wish to see Miss Mingyue. Please help me think of a way. If you can succeed, I will reward you handsomely."

Chu Luo understood the saying that money can make the devil push the millstone; if it couldn't, it was simply because she didn't have enough money.

The other party smiled and quietly accepted it.

Unfortunately, she still couldn't see him that night; the earliest she could see him was the following evening.

Chu Luo originally intended to have a casual drink, sit for a while, and then leave, so as not to arouse suspicion from others.

Unexpectedly, when I saw Luo Fei coming downstairs, he was already drunk and staggering.

It’s not a waste of time to break through the iron shoes.

Chu Luo quickly followed him out; she wanted to build a good relationship with Luo Fei.

Once outside Qianjin Pavilion, she quickly followed him and helped him up as he was about to collapse.

"Miss Dongfang, even a fierce woman can be won over by persistent pursuit. I will definitely come again. In time, you will surely see me."

Luo Fei's ramblings were incredibly distressing.

Chu Luo deduced that he must have suffered a setback with Miss Dongfang, which was why he drank so much.

She couldn't implant her memories into his mind, and their feelings for each other couldn't be cultivated slowly.

This put Chu Luo in a difficult position.

There are some things that, if he trusts her, he would never tell her about matters concerning his life and fortune.

But in this life, circumstances are different.

They no longer have the time or opportunity to meet and become friends.

Being able to see her was already a deliberate act of hers, something she had forced upon herself.

Whether Luo Fei considers her a friend or not is not important.

The important thing is to tell her the information so that she can save him.

Soon, Luo Fei's servant came to take him away and thanked Chu Luo.

Chu Luo's trip wasn't entirely in vain.

When she removed her disguise, she came up with a plan.

Luo Fei was deeply in love with that girl all his life, so she could disguise herself as Dongfang Mingyue and quickly gain his trust.

However, to disguise herself as Dongfang Mingyue, she needed to be very familiar with Dongfang Mingyue's words and actions.

At present, seeing the bright moon in the east is still very necessary.

However, the question remains: how can one freely enter and leave the Jin family's residence?

Chu Luo, returning home late, inadvertently saw Meng Shan's subordinate again.

She remembered this person; Jin Wuchen had sent her to find someone.

She initially suspected that the person Jin Wuchen was looking for was Shao Sheng Fei Hong.

This person hasn't appeared for a long time.

Chu Luo wondered if he had found some clues, so she held her breath and quietly hid in a blind spot to eavesdrop.

Listen to what he wants to say to Jin Wuchen.

"Young Master, that Young Saint appeared near the Mianjiang River, but then disappeared again. Some people have already received the news and followed him."

"Then you all go too, kill those who deserve to be killed, and don't leave any future troubles," Jin Wuchen instructed.

"Yes"

Jin Wuchen continued, "And the people I need, I want them alive or dead. This matter must not be leaked."

Mengshan responded and left.

Chu Luo felt a chill in her heart.

Jin Wuchen was indeed searching for Shao Sheng; he wanted him dead.

But what exactly is their grudge? Why couldn't they keep such a person?

Chu Luo was very disappointed in Jin Wuchen.

I don't know when I started to have expectations of him.

It's fine if he's the big devil, even if we can't be on the same path.

At least they won't become enemies.

She didn't want to become his enemy.

But if he is determined to kill Shao Sheng, she will swear to be his sworn enemy.

I felt extremely melancholy.

But that didn't stop her from trying to find a solution.

Although I was reluctant to use that special group of people.

But in order to save Shao Sheng and to stop the actions of the Canal Gang.

This leaves room for her and Jin Wuchen to maneuver.

She left the Jin family home again, sending out a special signal.

After returning to her room, she took two more books and placed them on the couch by the window.

She keeps all the books she reads in this place.

The next day, Jin Wuchen came to see her, and she sat on the edge of the couch reading a book.

His eyes swept across the room and he spotted the book written by Shao Sheng.

Seeing that the book was quite old, it must have been read many times.

"Do you like this book?"

As Chu Luo expected, he noticed the book and asked about it.

"Yeah, I like it very much"

"This book is banned outside. If you're caught reading it, the authorities will arrest you. You're really bold," Jin Wuchen commented with a smile.

"Brother Wuchen, are you going to report me to the authorities and have me arrested?" Chu Luo teased Jin Wuchen in a mocking manner.

Jin Wuchen laughed loudly and said, "Come on, don't be ridiculous."

Chu Luo dropped her theatrical act and said, "You already knew I wasn't a conventional person. What others forbid, I like what I like."

"It would be even better if I had the chance to meet Shao Sheng, the author of this book."

Chu Luo spoke from the heart.

Jin Wuchen cautioned, "Many people want this Young Saint dead. Anyone who gets involved with him is unlikely to have a good ending."

Chu Luo shook her head and said, "I'm not afraid. He's someone I admire."

"Anyone who dares to touch him is my mortal enemy."

Chu Luo spoke earnestly, which made Jin Wuchen a little jealous.

She asked a question, "What would you do if I made a move on him?"
