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

Butterfly never returned, and Liu Yi was gradually losing patience. Just as he was about to urge her, Butterfly pushed open the door and led a young girl in.

"Is Lord Liu getting impatient?" Cai Die asked first, making it difficult for Liu Yi to lash out.

"good."

"Sister Nongyu, why don't you greet Lord Liu and your Brother Yang?" Caidie stepped aside, exposing the people behind her to Liu Yi and Yang Che's view.

At this moment, Nongyu was wearing a wide-sleeved, gold-embroidered cloud-patterned dress. This dress was a birthday gift that Zinu had prepared for Nongyu this year. Nongyu usually cherished it very much and rarely showed it to others, but now she appeared wearing this dress that she treasured so much.

"Nongyu greets Lord Liu and Brother Yang." Nongyu first bowed to Liu Yi, then gave Yang Che a slight bow, and winked at Yang Che as she bent over.

It seemed she was asking Yang Che: Senior brother, how did junior sister perform? I was just cooperating with you.

It must be said that Nongyu's appearance was quite stunning. Even though Yang Che had known Nongyu for a long time, he couldn't help but feel amazed.

Third-rate beauties are beautiful in appearance, second-rate beauties are beautiful in bone structure, and first-rate beauties are beautiful in spirit. Nongyu is still young, and although her appearance and bone structure have not yet fully developed, she is already almost perfect in spirit.

only……

Liu Yi, his eyes still blurry with drunkenness, sized up Nongyu. Even with his limited knowledge, he had to admit that the girl before him was a rare beauty. Even in the Han King's palace, where beauties abounded, there was no woman with such looks.

Cai Die was already a top courtesan of Zi Lan Xuan, but in front of the young girl, apart from the advantage of being a few years older in terms of figure, she seemed to pale in comparison in terms of appearance and temperament.

In just a few years, once the young girl has grown up, she will surely become famous throughout Xinzheng. Zi Nu of Zi Lan Xuan is already the most beautiful girl in Xinzheng. In time, the unique beauty of Zi Lan Xuan will become a pair of beauties.

In that instant, Liu Yi completely understood his nephew's thoughts. Who could resist being moved by such a young girl? Even if she was so young and it seemed like he was a beast, it wasn't so bad to be a beast in front of such a charming girl.

Of course, Liu Yi only glanced at her briefly before looking away. The person who came was someone Yang Che had taken a liking to, so he naturally wouldn't be too abrupt. Besides, he preferred mature women, and Nongyu, such a young girl, was completely out of his aesthetic sensibilities.

Just as Liu Yi withdrew his gaze, his eyes inadvertently swept over Nongyu's waist. His previously lazy gaze suddenly turned cold and sharp. What did he see?

At Nongyu's waist, he saw a fiery red jade ornament, an ornament exactly like Madam Hu's, an ornament that Madam Hu often admired.

Fire Rain Agate.

Who exactly is she?

Almost instantly, countless possibilities flashed through Liu Yi's mind.

Fire Rain Agate is ranked among the top-grade jade stones due to its unique color. It is even more precious because it is only produced in the Baiyue region. Its texture is both brittle and hard, making it extremely difficult to carve. It can only be cut into small pieces for carving.

Like Madam Hu's piece of fire rain agate, which is large, of excellent quality, and exquisitely carved, although not a rare treasure, it is still a rare sight.

Liu Yi did not believe that a mere Qin Ji from Zi Lan Xuan could possess the same Fire Rain Agate as Madam Hu, therefore this Qin Ji must have another identity.

Thinking of the entanglement that Madam Hu had held onto for so many years, Liu Yi's breathing became heavier. Remembering how Madam Hu often reminisced about him by looking at things, Liu Yi's violent impulses intensified. If it weren't for Yang Che still being there, if it weren't for his image in front of his nephew…

Liu Yiyan was quite familiar with Yang Che, and recalling Madam Hu's words, the violence in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a meaningful look: "Ache, is this young lady your little sweetheart at Zilan Pavilion?"

At this moment, Yang Che closed his eyes helplessly, having no more hope.

After all, although Nongyu and Lady Hu look somewhat alike, it's not enough to make people think of them too much. Even if Liu Yi sees Nongyu, he might not necessarily think of Lady Hu.

But it seemed that Nongyu wanted to make her senior brother look good, so she dressed up carefully before coming here, even wearing her treasured Fire Rain Agate.

Liu Yi might not have made any connection upon seeing Nongyu, but upon seeing the Fire Rain Agate…

Madam Hu often reminisced about her loved ones when she saw objects, which led Liu Yi to become familiar with fire rain agate. When he saw two identical pieces of fire rain agate, how could he not guess the connection between Nongyu and Madam Hu?

When Yang Che closed his eyes, everyone, including Nongyu, Liu Yi, and Cai Die, fixed their gazes on him.

"Uncle, you've misunderstood. She's not my lover." Yang Che opened his eyes, seemingly having made up his mind.

Upon hearing this, Cai Die's breathing became heavier; in her view, Yang Che's answer meant he was denying it.

The look in Nongyu's eyes when she looked at Yang Che was absolutely genuine; she could see the familiarity and closeness in them.

What's even more infuriating than Nongyu being bewitched by Yang Che, being taken advantage of and then denying everything is what's truly infuriating.

In that instant, Cai Die even felt an impulse to seek justice for Nong Yu, even if it meant offending the Left Sima and the Imperial Censor in front of her.

When Nongyu heard Yang Che's denial, she didn't show much emotion; she could understand Yang Che's thoughts.

Upon hearing Yang Che's denial, Liu Yi felt a surge of malice. He was never a good person; his so-called good side was only shown to Yang Che and Madam Hu.

The thought of Nongyu possibly having some inexplicable connection with Madam Hu made Liu Yi unable to suppress the hatred in his heart.

But what right does he have to hate? Wasn't all of this his own choice?

If they knew the truth, Madam Hu and Nongyu should hate him even more.

But Liu Yi isn't a normal person; he's a bad person. Do bad people need to speak with a conscience?

Just then, Yang Che suddenly stood up. Amidst Liu Yi's puzzled gaze, Cai Die's confusion, and Nong Yu's shock, he walked to Nong Yu's side, then turned back to Liu Yi and said, "Nong Yu is my junior sister."

"Junior sister?" Liu Yi's thick, fierce eyebrows furrowed. The title "junior sister" was not simple. In this era of diverse schools of thought, the inheritance of a sect was sometimes more important than bloodline inheritance.

If Nongyu were merely Yang Che's lover, or just a young prostitute at Zilan Pavilion, he could employ many methods, some even malicious. However, Nongyu was Yang Che's junior sister, and a junior sister with the word "sister" in her name was no different from a biological sister.

Therefore, if he wanted to use any more methods, he would have to consider Yang Che's existence.

There weren't many things he cared about in his life, but Madam Hu was one, Yang Che was another, especially Yang Che, because he was related to what would happen after his death...

While hesitating, Liu Yi suddenly thought of a suspicious point and asked, "Who is your master? I've never heard you mention him before?"

"The Flower School is a small, unorthodox school, not part of the mainstream of the Hundred Schools of Thought. It specializes in music, calligraphy, and painting, and also touches upon some of the art of diplomacy," Yang Che said.

"The Flower School?" Liu Yi pondered. He suspected that Yang Che was lying to him, but he had no evidence.

"Sister, are you really Imperial Censor Yang's junior sister? No wonder your zither skills have improved so much lately. No wonder, now I understand." Cai Die suddenly realized, and the reason for Nong Yu's unusual behavior these past few days seemed to have been found.

But you little rascal, you're so young and you've already learned to hide your thoughts. If it weren't for Liu Yi's unreasonable behavior today that exposed you, who knows how long you would have kept it hidden.

You're quite lucky to be Imperial Censor Yang's junior sister. Now you have a powerful backer, and the things from the Flower Sect happen to be your favorite.

The colorful butterfly looked at Nongyu with a mixture of resentment and delight.

"Please forgive me, elder sister. Our sect has rules, and it's not appropriate to tell others about our sect's existence." Nongyu was both happy and excited to see Yang Che publicly acknowledge her as his junior sister. However, she couldn't help feeling a little guilty in the face of Cai Caidie's questioning.

While she may have done right by Yang Che in this matter, it does raise suspicions that she deceived her sisters.

Little did she know that Zi Nu had noticed Yang Che's unusual behavior from the very first day she met him. However, as the older sister, Zi Nu pretended not to know and did not investigate further out of concern for her younger sister and to avoid putting her in a difficult position.

"Then now..." Cai Die wanted to ask why she had admitted it so soon, but suddenly she realized the reason.

Yang Che's admission was simply because he didn't want his elders to belittle Nongyu.

Thinking of this, Cai Die's gaze towards Yang Che became even more tender. He was of noble status, extremely handsome, and so gentle. What woman wouldn't be moved by such a man?

You know, if word got out that someone in Zilan Pavilion had a lover, it would be a romantic tale for people to gossip about. But if someone recognized a woman from Zilan Pavilion as their junior sister, that would be a completely different matter.

Otherwise, Nongyu wouldn't have felt that it was natural for Yang Che to call her a "little prostitute".

Such a gentle man is truly captivating.

Especially since Yang Che is only Nongyu's senior brother. If Nongyu were really Yang Che's lover, she, as the older sister, would have some psychological burden to covet her "brother-in-law". But now?

These are totally our own people!

As the saying goes, "Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders," so I guess I'm considered good stuff too? Thinking this, Cai Die's face suddenly flushed red.

"Alright, alright, I won't blame you." She quickly stopped herself from doing so and waved her hand dismissively, indicating that she would take over the matter.

Liu Yi's expression was uncertain. The moment he realized Nongyu's identity, he felt jealousy and wanted to destroy her, but he hesitated because he was worried about Madam Hu.

Now that Nongyu has become Yang Che's junior sister, he has even more to worry about.

Nongyu noticed the change in Liu Yi's expression and felt a pang of worry. Of course, she wasn't worried about herself, but about Yang Che. After all, having a junior sister with her status was already a stain on Yang Che's reputation.

As Yang Che's elder, Liu Yi would never agree to this.

Compared to admitting that I am my senior's "girlfriend," my senior admitting that I am his junior undoubtedly brings greater pressure.

Cai Die also thought of this, but only Yang Che knew that it was not like that at all.

"Uncle, you may not know this, but the Flower Sect is a small sect, and our master has already passed away. Now it's just me and my junior sister." Yang Che stood in front of Nongyu to make his stance clear.

He only hoped that because of himself and Madam Hu, Liu Yi would be more cautious; otherwise, he would have no choice but to resort to other means.

In an instant, all eyes turned to Liu Yi. Under everyone's gaze, Liu Yi suddenly smiled: "Ache, you've grown up. You can make your own decisions. Do you think your uncle is some kind of stubborn old man?"

"My uncle is the Left Sima of my country, a renowned hero with a broad mind. He can be compared to the old master." Upon hearing this, Yang Che breathed a sigh of relief. He would get through this hurdle first, and deal with the future later.

"Ache is right. Since you say I have a broad mind, I can't be stingy, can I? Miss Nongyu, since you are Ache's junior sister, you are also my junior. I'll give you this jade pendant as a gift." Liu Yi accepted the valuable jade pendant from his waist.

Nongyu looked at Yang Che, seemingly seeking his opinion.

"Since it's a gift from your uncle, you should accept it," Yang Che replied to Nongyu. He then stepped forward, took the jade pendant from Liu Yi's hand, and handed it to Nongyu.

"Nongyu thanks Zuo Sima." After accepting the jade pendant, Nongyu bowed gracefully.

"Alright, I'm tired. I'll go rest next door. You young people can chat all you want." Liu Yi put his arm around the maid and said deliberately, his drunkenness mixed with a hint of smugness. Then, without looking at Yang Che and the others, he left.
