Qin's Moon: I'm really not the Holy Lord of the Demonic Sect

Chapter 112 A Woman's Killer Move

After regaining her footing, Honglian did not forget her purpose. Her wary gaze swept back and forth over Madam Mingzhu. Seeing that Madam Mingzhu did not show her usual fake smile, but instead had a mature and gentle demeanor, she felt a little relieved. It seemed that this female demon had not yet had time to harbor any evil intentions.

"Cousin, you only drew one portrait of me, how can you draw so many for her?" For some unknown reason, Honglian took Yang Che's hand and complained, looking aggrieved, like a flower bud about to wither.

"I'll make it up to you later," Yang Che said with a smile, letting Honglian pull him along.

Who could resist such a lovely, beautiful, noble little princess who is completely devoted to them?

Lady Mingzhu looked at the scene before her with a meaningful gaze; she did not believe that Yang Che's performance was genuine.

Just now, she was right next to Yang Che, yet he remained unmoved. This shows how cold-hearted Yang Che, the leader of the Holy Gate, truly is. Considering the power and mystery of the two sects and six paths of the Holy Gate, Yang Che's character as the leader of the Holy Gate must be quite different from what he appears to be.

Lady Mingzhu refused to believe that Yang Che's doting on Honglian was because he liked Honglian. She was certain that Yang Che's approach to Honglian was hiding a greater scheme.

For example, he could seduce Honglian, then marry her to enter the royal family, and seize power in Korea as a member of the royal family.

As far as Lady Mingzhu knew, Ji Wuye also had such a plan.

King Han An had many children, but Hong Lian's identity was quite special. She was born to the Queen and was also King Han An's youngest daughter. This combination of identities gave her a high status in the royal family, and she was also favored by King Han An. Whoever could marry Hong Lian would inevitably rise in status in the state of Han.

Having figured out the key point, Madam Mingzhu looked at Yang Che with a hint of amusement. Her ally was very ambitious, and it was probably not as simple as just wanting to replace Nightfall.

However, that's precisely what makes it all the more interesting! Lady Mingzhu, who believed she had already seen through the truth, felt a burning flame in her heart. She longed to see that scene, to see Bai Yifei and Ji Wuye trampled under her feet.

As Madam Mingzhu pondered, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, a look that naturally caught the eye of Honglian, who had never let her guard down around her.

In an instant, Honglian's ever-vigilant vigilance rose to its limit once again. It wasn't because she was easily frightened, nor because she had seen a snake in the cup or a bow on the wall, but simply because Madam Mingzhu had a long history of offenses, and now she was showing such an expression, leaving her no choice but to think carefully.

Seemingly to make Lady Mingzhu wary and dare not scheme against Yang Che again, this simple-minded but self-proclaimed clever princess instantly came up with a solution.

Honglian grabbed Yang Che's arm and stepped forward, shielding him behind her. She glared at Madam Mingzhu with fierce intensity, like a small tiger baring its teeth and claws. Though small, the tiger already possessed a certain majesty, refusing to yield an inch.

Watching this scene, Madam Mingzhu found Honglian, whom she had previously only found annoying, somewhat interesting, and she even admired Yang Che's methods a little more.

Yang Che had only met Honglian a few times, yet he had managed to manipulate this pampered woman to such an extent. He hadn't said or done anything, yet Honglian had willingly stood in front of him. Such cunning—

Lady Mingzhu, who was well-versed in the art of seduction, realized that the ability to seduce was not exclusive to women; men could also possess such abilities.

However, it's really good to be young! While analyzing, Madam Mingzhu couldn't help but feel a little envious of Honglian. What was she doing when she was about the same age as Honglian?

As Madam Mingzhu reminisced, she discovered that her youth was a blank, which instantly dampened her spirits.

Honglian paid attention to Madam Mingzhu's expression and felt relieved upon seeing it. She mistook Madam Mingzhu's change in expression for retreat and thought that Madam Mingzhu was afraid of her. She then became smug.

What could Lady Mingzhu do? She still had to avoid his sharp edge. Honglian thought to herself, becoming even more smug, and subconsciously tightened her grip on Yang Che's arm.

If Yang Che were to harbor evil thoughts, the Holy Sect would have to be renamed the Demonic Sect.

However, if Honglian wants to show off, then let her show off.

Despite their differing thoughts, they managed to maintain a semblance of harmony. After finishing the portrait that they had stopped halfway through, Yang Che was pulled away by Hong Lian.

On the way away, Honglian leaned close to Yang Che and whispered, "You have to be careful of that woman, she's very bad."

"Very bad?" Yang Che looked at Hong Lian with feigned surprise, as if he was slow to realize what was going on.

"Yes, she's really bad. All she knows is how to seduce Father. She's cunning from head to toe." Honglian's face was tense, and her brows showed a serious expression.

"After today's interaction, I think she's a pretty good person." Although he knew she was telling the truth and that she was concerned about him, Yang Che couldn't help but tease Honglian, who was this age.

In a few years, when they've really grown up, if you want to continue teasing them, you'll have to find another way.

"No, she's wicked, very, very wicked," Honglian said, blocking Yang Che's path.

"No, right? She was very polite to me today, and very generous. Of course, she's also very beautiful." Yang Che seemed to be skeptical of Honglian's words.

Yang Che's words were absolutely correct. Madam Mingzhu was indeed very polite, having already become his disciple, and very generous. After all, she had wholeheartedly put on a grand performance for Yang Che. As for her beauty—

Well, it's indeed somewhat inappropriate for Yang Che to say that Madam Zhu is beautiful.

But Honglian had no idea about that; she only heard the literal meaning behind Yang Che's words.

"She didn't! She's a bad woman!" Honglian exclaimed anxiously, because Yang Che, like her father, had been bewitched by Lady Mingzhu.

"Do you believe me or her?" In desperation, Honglian pressed herself down.

"This—" Faced with Honglian's question, Yang Che hesitated.

Seeing Yang Che's hesitation, Honglian felt wronged. Yang Che actually doubted her because of a woman he had just met.

She rushed over here after hearing the news today, and her legs are still hurting. What was she doing here? But Yang Che didn't believe her and instead believed Madam Mingzhu.

"Of course I believe you, Honglian." Yang Che showed a hint of struggle in Honglian's aggrieved eyes.

Upon hearing this, Honglian's brows instantly relaxed, and her heart leaped with joy. She immediately hugged Yang Che's arm: "Cousin, you can't go wrong with trusting me! Hey, the weather's nice today, shall we go for a trip to the Qin River tomorrow?"

But the weather is nice today, what does that have to do with going out tomorrow?

Before Yang Che could answer, Hong Lian continued, "It's settled then."
