Chu Peiran's gaze was piercing as he asked, "Tell me honestly, why are you cooperating with the demon race?"

Qin Luo and Gui Chen came to Chu Peiran's side.

The Prince of Jiangling was covered in cold sweat, and he looked away as he said, "I was forced into this."

Chu Peiran didn't believe it at all. Qin Luo used his soul-capturing technique on the Prince of Jiangling, "Who forced you?"

"Who dares to force me?"

Why are you cooperating with the demon race?

"Prepare military pay and food, and when the world changes, join forces with the demon race to do something big."

"Good heavens, he actually wants to do something big." Chu Peiran hadn't expected the Prince of Jiangling to have such ambitions.

Qin Luo was not surprised by this, and he continued to ask, "Where have you arranged for the demon race to be placed?"

The Prince of Jiangling answered truthfully: "Qingyue Tower, Hongyun Lane, Jiangling Money Exchange..."

Chu Peiran looked at the unconscious Prince Jiangling and said, "I'm handing Prince Jiangling over to the local governor. I'll trouble you and Master Guichen to clear out the demons in the city."

Qin Luo frowned slightly. "I'm afraid the prefect here is in cahoots with the Prince of Jiangling."

“The Prefect of Jiangling is a friend of my father. He is an honest and upright man, and he has made great contributions to the prosperity of Jiangling.” Chu Peiran believed in the Prefect of Jiangling.

Qin Luo also saw the prosperity of Jiangling City. He agreed with Chu Peiran's opinion and immediately went with Gui Chen to deal with the demons in the city and uproot all the industries that were harming the people.

late at night.

Jiangling City finally quieted down.

Qin Luo and the others returned to Qingyue Tower. Chu Peiran said with a smile, "The Prefect of Jiangling was very grateful for what we had done and wanted to invite us to dinner, but I declined."

Xiaotao and the buck-toothed girl sat on the doorstep chatting.

"Sister Xiaotao, I'll follow you from now on."

"DouDou, we must be good monsters from now on."

When Xiao Tao saw Qin Luo and the others return, she excitedly stood up and said, "Master Dao, I'll go make you some tea."

"Need not."

Qin Luo shook his head slightly.

Chu Peiran looked up at the plaque high above, "This place also needs a makeover."

Qin Luo thought it made sense, and he asked with a smile, "Brother Chu, do you have any good suggestions?"

Xiao Tao looked at them curiously.

Chu Peiran pondered for a long time, and finally looked at Qin Luo, "How about the three of us each write one character!"

"OK!"

Qin Luo found it very interesting.

Chu Peiran leaped into the air, took down the plaque and brought it into the house, then opened his book box and took out his writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone.

"Brothers, you can write first."

"Brother Dao, please."

Gui Chen gestured with his hand.

Qin Luo didn't stand on ceremony. He picked up his pen and, without much thought, wrote the gentle character "清" (qing).

"Brother Chu, please."

Gui Chen wanted Chu Peiran to write first.

Chu Peiran waved his hand, his face serious, and said, "Let me think about it some more. Master Guichen, you write it first."

Qin Luo thought Chu Peiran was being humble.

Gui Chen picked up his pen and wrote the neat character "和" (hé).

Finally, it was Chu Peiran's turn. He shook his head and then picked up his brush to write a graceful character "楼" (lou).

Xiao Tao was somewhat surprised.

I never expected Chu Peiran to be able to write the character "楼" (lou, meaning building).

Chu Peiran looked at Xiao Tao and coughed softly, "Qinghe Tower! What do you think of this name?"

"good!"

"very good."

Xiao Tao nodded repeatedly, then looked timidly at Qin Luo, "Master Dao, is this building really for me?"

Qin Luo nodded, "I can help you buy it."

Chu Peiran said with a smile, "This place was originally going to be confiscated. I spoke with the governor of Jiangling, and he agreed to give it to you, but you will have to pay taxes every year from now on."

"Thank you, sir. I will pay the taxes!"

Xiao Tao nodded happily.
