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

Chapter 156 The Lament of Rain

Han Fei looked at his younger sister in front of him. Although Honglian's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were filled with determination. But as someone who was never naive when it came to matters of the heart, how could he not understand his sister's thoughts?

This is already a definite conclusion.

This discovery saddened Han Fei. Emotionally, he was heartbroken that his sister had been bewitched by another man. But rationally, Honglian's affection for Yang Che was not a bad choice.

Even though Han Fei was unwilling to admit it, he clearly realized that if he were to find a husband for Honglian in the whole of Korea, Yang Che would undoubtedly be the most suitable candidate.

Yang Che's appearance and talent were enough to surpass most people in Han. Among his peers, no one could surpass him. Even Zhang Liang, whom he favored the most, seemed too immature in front of Yang Che at this time.

However, considering that Yang Che was able to become Minister of Works at the age of twenty, that he had just managed to make his father happy with just a few words, and that he was on good terms with Lady Mingzhu and had a kinship with Consort Hu, it was hard to believe.

Such a young man is far too terrifying. Could he really not become the next Ji Wuye?

If he is as ambitious as Ji Wuye, is his relationship with Honglian also part of a scheme?

Ji Wuye alone has already caused chaos throughout the state of Han. If another Grand Minister of Works were to appear, Han would truly descend into turmoil.

Having just returned to his homeland, Han Fei seemed to have already foreseen the future of Korea.

Honglian, whose thoughts had been exposed, thought Han Fei was just lecturing or joking, and she had even prepared herself for it. However, just as she was ready to meet the challenge, Han Fei suddenly backed down.

"Brother, don't you have anything you want to ask?" Honglian asked tentatively.

Although she acted as if she didn't see Han Fei on the street, among her relatives, she only cared about two or three people the most, and Han Fei was one of them.

Therefore, Han Fei's affirmation was still very important to Honglian.

"What does Honglian want me to ask? Why do you like Yang Sikong? Honglian has really grown up, so shameless," Han Fei teased.

"Brother, you—" Honglian angrily punched Han Fei. This was the Han Fei she knew.

"Although Honglian has been a bit dim-witted since childhood, she has excellent judgment. I believe that you must have your own reasons for liking someone, and I think that Yang Sikong is indeed a very good person," Han Fei said.

"Brother, do you really think so?" Honglian pressed, her eyes filled with anticipation, hoping for Han Fei's affirmative answer.

"That's for sure," Han Fei affirmed.

Han Fei was unwilling to tell Honglian some of his questions. In any case, he would be investigating the case with Yang Che, and there would be plenty of opportunities to get to know him. He would then observe Yang Che carefully for his sister's sake and test his future brother-in-law.

Honglian was unaware that Han Fei's certainty stemmed from the fact that explaining to the fool would be too troublesome, and he had already decided to personally observe Yang Che. She took Han Fei's certainty as tacit approval and became even happier.

He exclaimed with delight, "He's a very good person, a really, really good person. He's kind to everyone."

Hmm? So he's a promiscuous man, no wonder. Han Fei's heart stirred, and before he could act, he had already labeled Yang Che.

Honglian, unaware of all this, kept praising Yang Che, which made Han Fei, a clever man, think more and more, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Something's not right, something's very wrong.

Leaving aside how Han Fei schemed against his sister Honglian in the Han King's palace, in the Left Sima's residence, Madam Hu summoned Yang Che while Liu Yi personally instructed the kitchen to prepare a banquet.

Although Madam Hu's impression of her nephew Yang Che had greatly improved in subsequent interactions due to various reasons, she only maintained a superficial politeness towards Yang Che because of Liu Yi, and did not feel much closeness to him.

This is the first time she has ever taken the initiative to call Yang Che to her side like this.

Yang Che noticed that his aunt was troubled before she could speak. Although she was middle-aged, her skin did not show any signs of aging. Instead, with the passage of time, she had developed a mature charm. Within this mature charm, there was also a touch of innocence due to her naivety, which added a unique charm to her.

Madam Hu looked at Yang Che, but despite being an elder, she deliberately looked away, seemingly unwilling, helpless, and troubled.

It seemed she had encountered some intractable problem. Although she didn't want to ask Yang Che for help, reality forced her to do so.

Need help?

Yang Che's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "What trouble has your aunt encountered?"

"This—" When Madam Hu heard Yang Che ask the question, she steeled herself and said, "Could you help me find someone?"

"Find someone—" Yang Che hesitated, then his expression turned scrutinizing.

Madam Hu was born in Huoyu Manor in the Baiyue region. When Huoyu Manor was wiped out, Madam Hu had no other relatives besides Hu Meiren. Who was there for her to ask Yang Che for help?

There shouldn't be anyone who is.

Wait a minute, there's this person who, if you calculate the time, appeared around this time as well.

"Is this person important to your aunt?" Yang Che asked tentatively.

"He's an old friend of mine. After the fall of Baiyue, my sister and I came to Xinzheng and lost contact with him. I saw him again not long ago, but he's disappeared these past two days. He's the only old friend I have left now, so I'm a little worried about him. Ache should have a lot of connections in Xinzheng. Could he help my aunt look for him?"

Listening to Madam Hu's account, Yang Che was already quite certain that there was no old friend involved; it was probably his former lover.

However, since Li Kai has appeared and Liu Yi is alive and well, how could he suddenly disappear?

As one mystery was solved, another one emerged. Yang Che pondered, but then took the initiative to ask probing questions: "I haven't been in Xinzheng for long. If it's about finding someone, it's better to ask your uncle. If your aunt is worried about this old friend, she should ask your uncle for help."

Sure enough, as soon as Yang Che finished speaking, Madam Hu's face stiffened. After a moment of hesitation, she managed to explain, "This matter cannot trouble your uncle."

"Why is that?" Yang Che asked curiously, but he was already completely certain of his guess.

The person Madam Hu asked him to find was indeed Li Kai.

"My old friend had some misunderstandings with your uncle back then," Madam Hu explained, but her expression was rather unpleasant.

"I see," Yang Che said, suddenly realizing.

Li Kai appeared and then disappeared. The story behind this is quite interesting. In Xinzheng, there aren't many people who can make Li Kai disappear without anyone noticing.

"Don't worry, Aunt, leave this to me. I'll help you find this old friend," Yang Che assured her.

"Then I'll have to trouble Archer." Madam Hu thanked him, having never seen such sincerity in him since Yang Che's return.

"But you must not tell your uncle about this," Madam Hu reminded him again.

Yang Che responded with affirmation, but had already begun to devise another plan in his mind.
