Something's wrong with this demon.

Chapter 29

The atmosphere in the room froze.

Luo Qingchen looked at the woman behind Sun Ping and calmly said, "I didn't do any of those things."

"You have!"

Qingmei stood behind Sun Ping and loudly testified.

Sun Ping suddenly turned around, slapped her across the face, and snapped, "Who told you to speak?"

Qingmei covered her cheeks and dared not utter another sound.

Sun Ping's gaze returned to the young man before her, her face cold as she warned, "Remember, you're a guard here. You need to know the rules! If you want to play around with the girls in this brothel, as long as you pay them, no one will say anything. Or, as long as they're willing, no one will say anything either. But if you try to rely on being a cultivator..."

"Sister Sun!"

Suddenly, Zhao Yun's voice came from the second-floor railing:

"I heard it with my own ears that night. It was Qingmei who took the initiative to invite Guard Luo into the room. Guard Luo went to the door, said a few words to her, and then left. He did not go in, and there was no way he tried to force his way into the room and assault her."

Qingmei immediately looked up and angrily shouted, "Zhao Yun! You little slut, you're only after his virginity, aren't you? Your father still owes me money! When are you going to pay me back?"

Zhao Yun paused for a moment, then said, "In a few days."

Qingmei snorted coldly: "Did you really give all the money you earned before to your little lover? No wonder you spoke up for him. He probably doesn't know that you..."

"shut up!"

Sun Ping shouted angrily and then slapped her hard across the face.

"Are they all going to rebel? Fighting amongst themselves at this time? Don't they even respect me?"

Sun Ping's face was ashen, her expression filled with anger.

Qingmei covered her face, gave a low snort in protest, and stopped talking, but her eyes were fixed on the person above.

Zhao Yun was also watching her from upstairs.

Sun Ping's chest heaved violently with anger for a moment before she waved her hand and said, "Disperse, everyone. Go back to your rooms and prepare to receive guests. No one is allowed to mention this matter again!"

Qingmei covered her cheek and turned to leave.

Zhao Yun also silently left from the second-floor railing.

Sun Ping's gaze returned to the young man before her, her anger still lingering: "Guard Luo, be more careful in the future. There are rules in this building. As long as you follow the rules, no one will say anything."

"Sister Sun, what happened?"

At this moment, Chen Ju walked in from the door, put his hand on Luo Qingchen's shoulder, and said with a smile, "What did my brother Luo do to make you angry? If he did something wrong, I'll apologize to you on his behalf. You know, this kid has only been here for a few days, and he's probably not familiar with some of the rules yet, so please bear with him."

Sun Ping said coldly, "It's nothing serious."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Chen Ju looked puzzled and asked Luo Qingchen beside him, "What exactly happened? Tell me, brother."

Luo Qingchen asked, "Brother Chen, do you have any silver on you? Could you lend me some?"

Chen Ju's face stiffened instantly. He removed his hand from his shoulder and said with a wry smile, "Didn't I show it to Brother Luo last time? I don't have any silver. I don't have a single penny on me."

Seemingly afraid that Luo Qingchen would bring up the matter of borrowing money again, he quickly said, "Brother Luo, it's time. We should go on patrol. Just like before, you upstairs, I'll downstairs. If anything happens, just call me."

After saying that, he quickly left.

Luo Qingchen stared at his right leg for a few moments before walking towards the stairs.

As a cultivator, physical injuries usually heal quickly, and with the help of excellent wound medicine, the wounds heal even faster.

Although he couldn't be sure it was the other person that night, he would never be careless with anyone here.

Upon arriving on the second floor, I first patrolled outside each room.

It was just after nightfall, and there weren't many guests yet, so the girls were quietly getting ready in their rooms, and the maids were walking very softly.

There weren't many programs running in the lobby downstairs.

The entire Baixianglou was so quiet and deserted that it didn't seem like a brothel at all.

The atmosphere was eerie.

Luo Qingchen carefully patrolled the corridor. When she came to the window at the end of the corridor, she looked out at the dark night.

Just as he was pondering something, the door to the side room suddenly opened.

Qingmei, draped in a thin veil, appeared in the doorway, her chest puffed out, and looked at him with a cold smile, saying, "Guard Luo, if you submit to me now, I'll forgive Zhao Yun's debt. If you need money, I can give it to you. At least, I'm cleaner than Zhao Yun, and I'm richer than her."

Luo Qingchen ignored her, not even glancing at her, and turned to walk out of the corridor.

Qingmei gritted her teeth and said from behind, "You just wait!"

Luo Qingchen stopped at the corner of the corridor, a thoughtful look on her face.

Is this woman so desperate for a man?

Obviously not.

So, there must be another purpose.

"Squeak..."

At this moment, the door to the first room opened.

Zhao Yun appeared in the doorway, waved to him, and whispered, "Brother Chen, come in for a moment."

Luo Qingchen hesitated for a moment, then walked over and asked, "A-Yun, is something the matter?"

Zhao Yun disregarded etiquette, reaching out to pull him into the room, closing the door behind her, and whispering, "This afternoon, I saw Chen Ju enter Qingmei's room and not come out for an hour. Brother Chen, you must be careful of Chen Ju. This time, Qingmei slandered you, and I'm afraid it was at someone's behest."

Luo Qingchen's gaze turned cold, and she nodded.

Zhao Yun whispered again, "I've heard that cultivators are advised to avoid women, otherwise it will hinder their cultivation. Qingmei has been seducing you, I'm afraid she's doing it under someone else's orders."

Luo Qingchen said, "I will be careful."

Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice and said, "Brother Chen, everyone in this building is terrifying. You'd better not get close to them. They all have masters. Sometimes, when guests are asleep in their rooms, they secretly take their blood. Their methods are very subtle, and many guests can't even detect it."

Luo Qingchen felt a chill run down her spine.

Just then, Chen Ju's voice suddenly came from the stairwell outside: "Brother Luo, where are you?"

"I'm going out now."

Luo Qingchen immediately opened the door and went out.

Upon seeing him, Chen Ju glanced into the room again and chuckled, "Brother Luo, please don't be offended. It wasn't my intention to disturb you. At this time, we should go out for a stroll. After we finish our patrol, you can come back and catch up with Miss Yun. As long as she doesn't have any guests tonight, Brother Luo can stay inside all night without any problem."

Luo Qingchen glanced at him but didn't say anything.

The two went downstairs together, left the courtyard, and began patrolling around the outer wall.

As the two figures disappeared into the darkness, Chen Ju suddenly spoke up: "Brother Luo, I just heard from the maids that Qingmei slandered you tonight. Brother Luo, do you want revenge?"

Luo Qingchen turned to look at him: "How do we report it?"

Chen Ju gave a cold smile: "A mere lowly prostitute dares to slander us cultivators. Even if Brother Luo really did forcibly molest her, so what? We can't just swallow this insult, otherwise everyone in the brothel will think we guards are easy to bully!"

At this point, he put his hand on Luo's shoulder and said in a friendly tone, "Brother Luo, when it gets light, let's pay to go to her room together and give her a good beating. As long as we pay, we're guests. According to the rules of the brothel, she can't resist; she'll have to kneel before you and let you humiliate her. Then Brother Luo can take his revenge as he pleases, how about it?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingchen looked thoughtful, as if considering it seriously, before saying, "But I have no money on me, not a single coin."

Then, staring at him, she asked, "Brother Chen, do you have one?"

"I……"

Chen Ju was about to nod when he suddenly remembered the two times this guy had asked to borrow money before.

For a moment, I didn't know how to answer.

Luo Qingchen directly extended his hand: "Brother Chen, if you have any, lend me a few taels first. As for revenge, let me pay off my debts first."

Chen Ju: "..."
