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

"How did you recognize me?"

Chu Luo was certain that Dongfang Mingyue was not questioning or testing her, but was absolutely certain that she was the person at Ziyuntai that day.

Could there be some obvious flaw in her disguise?

Dongfang Mingyue laughed at her self-doubting expression.

He said, "Back then, I was afraid I wouldn't recognize you if we ran into each other, so I left some marks on you."

"Huh?" Chu Luo had no idea when she made any marks.

"I was standing next to you at the time, but your attention was all on those two scumbags who looked down on women, so you didn't notice that I had marked you."

Dongfang Mingyue spoke frankly.

Although Chu Luo didn't know what kind of mark she had made, she realized that she had been too careless.

Dongfang Mingyue smiled again and said, "I said we were destined to meet. Although I believe in fate, I didn't know when we would meet again, so I took the initiative."

Chu Luo thought she was really direct and frank, daring to love and hate, and all her actions were direct and passionate.

Chu Luo asked, "What are the marks on my body?"

Dongfang Mingyue felt somewhat embarrassed about this matter, as it wasn't exactly aboveboard.

She apologized, saying, "It's something secreted by a Gu worm."

Chu Luo was afraid that even if she disguised herself in the future, she would be discovered by her.

"Will this thing stay with me forever?" Chu Luo asked.

Dongfang Mingyue shook her head and said, "If I don't meet you or find you within a year, I will slowly dissipate."

"what about now?"

Dongfang Mingyue found her and naturally didn't want to upset her. "Now, I will make sure that Gu worm is completely absorbed, and there won't be any more."

Dongfang Mingyue assured that the things she placed on Chu Luo could help prevent other people who raise Gu worms from harming her.

She wouldn't let anyone she fancied or who her Gu worms liked be in danger.

Dongfang Mingyue took out a small glass bottle, from which a jade ice silkworm crawled out.

Chu Luo had known some medicinal herbs with Long Yu in her previous life, and this Jade Ice Cicada was extremely precious.

Not to mention its great medicinal effects, it is also beneficial to keep as a Gu worm by your side.

The Jade Ice Cicada is a cold entity in the world of Gu insects, which other Gu insects cannot withstand, so this thing actually plays a protective role for her.

"How could you bear to use this precious thing on me?" Chu Luo asked, looking at her.

This is something that others would beg for but could never get.

"I'm willing to give up anything for the person I set my sights on."

Chu Luo reached out, and Dongfang Mingyue placed the Jade Ice Silkworm on it. The Jade Ice Silkworm began to absorb the substances.

Dongfang Mingyue felt more and more that she had a really good eye.

Although the person in front of me did not have martial arts skills, he remained calm and composed throughout her speech, without any haste or anger.

He always had a smile on his face.

His knowledge was also quite extraordinary; he knew about her Jade Ice Silkworm and could tell good from bad.

However, she would not give up her freedom for temporary benefits and would still let her absorb the secretions of the Jade Ice Silkworm.

He also understood her feelings perfectly and could play the piano to match her casual humming.

She was overjoyed.

She felt that there was another very interesting person in the world.

The two chatted on the rooftop until the moon and stars were few and far between, and until the street vendors were deserted.

Dongfang Mingyue pulled her down to lie down, and the two of them slept there for a while.

Chu Luo disguised herself as a handsome young man, in order to avoid drawing attention and to make Dongfang Mingyue accept her appearance.

It's about average to above average.

Unexpectedly, Dongfang Mingyue marked her in another way.

Dongfang Mingyue didn't care about her appearance; he cared more about their spiritual connection.

This coincided with Chu Luo's idea.

The two of them momentarily ignored everything else.

"What's your name?"

They chatted all night, and it wasn't until Chu Luo was about to leave that Dongfang Mingyue remembered to ask.

Chu Luo spoke, "Lan Luo."

The surname Lan comes from the young General Lan whom she admired.

From that day on, Dongfang Mingyue turned away other guests in order to see Chu Luo, who was using the alias Lan Luo.

She always met with guests as she pleased, and she never sold herself.

Not many people cared, but there were more people on Liu Fuyao's side.

Only Luo Fei, who came every day, hated this man named Lan Luo to death.

Chu Luo looked at him, the more anxious he was, the better.

Jin Wuchen was away from the Jin family for several days due to some business.

Such opportunities are not very common.

She used the excuse of going to visit her mother to avoid returning to the Jin family.

She spent a lot of time by Dongfang Mingyue's side.

Firstly, she genuinely enjoys playing with Dongfang Mingyue.

On the other hand, the more she interacted with Dongfang Mingyue, the better she became at imitating her.

She didn't tell Dongfang Mingyue about the disguise.

He didn't ask Dongfang Mingyue why she had the Jade Ice Silkworm.

They didn't ask why Dongfang Mingyue wanted to stay in this Qianjin Pavilion.

Even a magnificent pavilion built of gold wouldn't be a threat to Dongfang Mingyue.

Right now, this Qianjin Pavilion is nothing.

Dongfang Mingyue was definitely not the kind of person who had to stoop to prostitution because of some family decline.

There is only one possibility for her being here: that she is willing to do something else that is inconvenient to say.

Not knowing doesn't mean we can't become close friends.

Some friendships are so rare and precious that you only know they exist when you encounter them.

After leaving Qianjin Pavilion, it was quite late, so Chu Luo didn't want to disturb her mother.

She wanted to go back to Shu Tong's courtyard, but she had run out of medicine for her heart ailment, and the rest was at the Jin family's house.

Helpless, she secretly went into the Jin family home to get the medicine.

Chu Luo took a less traveled path; next door was the Jin family's courtyard, where they exchanged messages.

Because it's important, very few people come here.

Taking advantage of this, Chu Luo often used this path to sneak in and out.

In the darkness, she heard two voices talking through the wall.

"Steward Sun, should we tell the old gang leader about the young mistress's excellent pipa playing?"

"No need, the old leader already knew that the young mistress plays the pipa beautifully."

The familiar voice of Butler Sun came through.

"But that day at the Chu family, the young mistress was actually able to ring the eight-tone bell. Does the old gang leader know about this?"

"I think they should know. Report the Chu family's affairs truthfully."

"The old gang leader was truly prescient; the person everyone was desperately searching for was kept in the Jin family so early on."

"You must not say this to a second person. If it gets to the young mistress's ears, your life will be in danger," Butler Sun said, stopping them.

"Yes, the young mistress went outside the manor to keep her mother company and hasn't been home for the past few days."

"Too much talk leads to mistakes; listen more and speak less, or you won't even know how you died. Quickly spread the message."

After finishing his sentence, Steward Sun got up and left.

Soon two or three pigeons flew away.

She knew that the old gang leader would never choose someone as his daughter-in-law for no reason.

But when did the old gang leader find out that she was such a good pipa player?

He wanted to use her to unlock something, to solve something.

Judging from Jin Wuchen's reaction, he probably didn't know.

Now, if it's just because of the pipa, then it's no longer safe for her mother to stay in Jiangzhou.

She speculated that although the old gang leader did not know her mother, he probably knew about her mother's relationship with the Xunyang Pipa Girl.

That's why they took the initiative to find a way to bring her to the Jin family.

Chu Luo took the medicine without making a sound and left the Jin family's house.

It was as if she had never returned that night.

The Jin family, the place where she had lived peacefully for so long, was, as she had expected, just a place where a pawn was placed.
