A ripple appeared in Jue's eyes, "He..."
"He's now a guard by the side of the person he likes. Does he think the Moonlit Pavilion will let him go? What a joke..." He sneered repeatedly. "Elder Mu, one of the four elders, has already been dispatched to arrest him."
Jue stared blankly for a moment. Suddenly, he thought of the person who had knelt on the ground years ago, begging him to let him go.
"Please, even if I die in the next second, I'm willing..."
The wind blew his hair, revealing the blue lotus mark.

Chapter 18 Painstaking Efforts
Where are you taking me?
Ruoshui smiled mysteriously, "Just come with me."
I followed her through several alleys, and just when I was getting dizzy from all the winding paths...
"arrive."
An ordinary house appeared before them. It had a vermilion door and lanterns hanging on it, and there was nothing particularly remarkable about it.
Ruoshui paused for a moment, then said, "Follow me, don't get lost."
I became even more curious about where she was taking me.
Upon entering the room, one finds it filled with shouting people. They are gathered around several tables, yelling wildly.
I looked at Ruoshui with suspicion: "Is it a casino?"
Ruoshui didn't answer, but casually glanced around.
They led me to someone and bumped into him.
I spotted a bronze-colored token.
Then, led by the ordinary-looking man, Ruoshui and I entered an underground passage.
Where is this place?
"Don't make a sound, just follow me."
I went downstairs and followed Ruoshui.
Speechless with surprise, here...
"How was it?" Ruoshui turned around and looked at me with a smile.
I murmured blankly, "How could this be..."
How did neon lights appear? How did so many modern things come to be?
I walked over blankly and sat down on the soft sofa. I looked up at the glass table on the side, where there were glasses, pens, and paper.
What are these things?
Ruoshui took a glass and poured some juice: "These are things we found. Just two years ago, we discovered a cave and found many modern facilities inside."
She suddenly stood up. "Come with me."
He walked up to a wardrobe and yanked it open.
My eyes lit up. "These..."
There are underwear, miniskirts, pajamas, trench coats, evening gowns...
"Oh my god..."
Ruoshui leaned against the wardrobe, smiled, and said, "I had all of these made by someone else."
I looked at her with a puzzled expression.
She tilted her head back and laughed, "Little girl, although I live in ancient times, I'm still essentially a modern person. These things make me feel more relaxed..."
I looked up: "And this casino?"
“It’s mine, I have many other businesses.”
This time, Ruoshui really laid her cards on the table with me, revealing all of her businesses to me.
I paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered what she had said.
"Girl, leave behind all these things that bind you. Come with me. I'm building a pirate ship, just like in the Hollywood movies. Then we can go sailing together, travel to different places, and have some adventures..."
I was indeed tempted, but...
I still refused.
Inside a small, enclosed room.
Ruoshui sat on the stool, applying nail polish.
"You're saying she refused?"
Ruoshui nodded, "Yes, I don't know what she's thinking..." She looked up and smiled, "Anyway, I quite like that kind of life."
The man opposite frowned. "It seems I still have to resort to the second plan."
Ruoshui kicked the man's leg, "You brat, you can do whatever you want. But don't break the girl's heart."
The man nodded: "Understood, Aunt."
Looking at the person in the mirror.
She was truly as beautiful as a lotus emerging from clear water. I frowned slightly, and the woman inside also frowned coyly.
"Miss, it's done..."
I quickly got up. I heard shouting outside.
"Fourth Miss, Fourth Miss..."
I went outside. "Coming, Second Sister..."
Liu Mengshi wore a white dress with two butterflies playing on it. "Fourth sister, didn't you ask me to go shopping yesterday? I've already got everything ready."
I nodded: "Then let's go."
After browsing through several jewelry stores, Ping'er suddenly exclaimed, "Miss, I saw the thief who stole your hairpin the other day..."
I quickly grabbed Liu Mengshi's arm and ran, shouting, "No, we can't let him get away like this..."
"Miss……"
"Second Miss, Fourth Miss..."
Ping'er and Shaoyao chased after them, panting heavily.
"Fourth, Fourth Sister...slow down...slow down..."
I turned my head and saw that Liu Mengshi's face was a little pale and she was panting heavily.
"Second sister, what's wrong?"
Liu Mengshi gasped for breath, "I...I...I'm so tired..."
"I'm sorry, I was in such a hurry just now. I forgot that my second sister is a sheltered young lady and doesn't do much physical activity..."
I caught a glimpse of a black figure ahead.
"Don't run, you little thief!"
He turned to look at Liu Mengshi and said, "Second sister, wait for me here. I'm going to catch that little thief."
Liu Mengshi turned her head and saw people around her with dirty clothes and frightening eyes.
Her body trembled. "Never mind... I'll just go with Fourth Sister..."
I glanced at the person following behind me: "Second sister, can you hurry up? We can't even see the person anymore..."
Liu Mengshi felt as if her feet had taken root, and she couldn't move at all.
