Qin's Moon: I'm really not the Holy Lord of the Demonic Sect
Chapter 22 Happiness First
With Liu Yi gone, only Yang Che, Cai Die, and Nong Yu remained in the room, and for a moment, silence fell over them.
In the quiet room, Cai Die felt slightly uncomfortable, even though she was sitting in the seat that originally belonged to Liu Yi.
Cai Die took a deep breath and looked at Yang Che, who was kneeling on the ground as his deputy. Her gaze then shifted to Yang Che's side, where Nong Yu was kneeling obediently, slightly behind Yang Che, but the gap between them was not large.
In an instant, Cai Die felt completely superfluous; she was the only outsider among the three.
"I never imagined that Nongyu would have this connection with Imperial Censor Yang. Nongyu's zither skills have improved by leaps and bounds in the past month. We initially thought it was due to the skill of the old court zither players, but now it seems there is another reason," Cai Die said, trying to find a topic to talk about.
"The old musician's skills are superb, I dare not take credit for it," Yang Che said modestly. He knew his own limitations. The reason why Nongyu admired him so much in the art of music was mainly due to his advantage as a time traveler, which allowed him to possess a large number of musical scores that could be considered treasures in this era.
In terms of actual skill, he was not even as good as Nongyu, let alone an old qin player who had devoted half his life to studying court music.
"Senior brother is also very accomplished in music, but he likes to slack off," Nongyu said from the side, whether she was flattering Yang Che or mocking him was unclear.
During this period, when Yang Che was teaching Nongyu, he would play the instrument himself the first time, and then listen to Nongyu play it the rest of the time. He claimed that he was appreciating Nongyu's talent and training her, but Nongyu knew that her senior brother was doing this purely because he was lazy.
"Nongyu, you can't say that," Yang Che said, pointing at Nongyu.
"Senior brother is clearly very talented. If he focuses solely on music, his future achievements will be..." Nongyu wanted to persuade Yang Che, but she couldn't continue. For someone of Yang Che's status, music was ultimately just a minor pursuit.
"Why must we achieve something no matter what we do?" Yang Che relaxed his straight shoulders, his whole body slouching, revealing a lazy demeanor.
"The reason I learn the piano is because it makes me happy. It's not because I want to achieve anything in music. I'm just doing what I like and what makes me happy. It's not because I can achieve great success in it or because it can bring me any great benefits," Yang Che continued.
Cai Die pondered Yang Che's words, but she was somewhat unconvinced. She came from a poor family and experienced even more setbacks in her childhood. From a young age, she had been striving to live, wanting to succeed and change her circumstances.
Therefore, among all the sisters, she had to do her best in everything, which is why she was the most beautiful courtesan and Zi Nu's most trusted confidante. All of this was because of her courage to be a pioneer.
In Cai Die's eyes, Yang Che's thoughts were naive, the kind of ignorant and naive young nobles who didn't know the hardships of ordinary people.
Not everyone does something simply to pursue happiness.
Cai Die's judgment was based entirely on her own assumptions and a complete lack of understanding of Yang Che.
The happiness Yang Che spoke of was not naiveté. In his previous life, when he was rich, he could feel happy when he frequented high-end clubs, and when he was poor, he could still laugh heartily at roadside stalls with a few close friends.
If a job doesn't bring me joy, I won't do it even if it makes money. But if I can find joy in my work, even if it's a undignified job, I'll gladly accept it.
Life is but 30,000 days; how can one have so many lofty ambitions? Yang Che's motto in life is happiness.
Compared to Cai Die, Nong Yu completely believed Yang Che's words. She believed that Yang Che was not a person who pursued fame and fortune. Otherwise, why would Yang Che accept her as his junior sister on behalf of his master?
Is she able to bring Yang Che fame or fortune?
So, despite Cai Die's disbelieving gaze, Nong Yu solemnly said, "What Senior Brother taught me is that I study music not because it can bring me any benefits, but because it can bring me inner peace and allow me to experience another world. The happiness that Senior Brother spoke of is actually a kind of existence."
"This is true love. Without purity, how can one appreciate the most authentic beauty in the world of music?" Yang Che clapped his hands and laughed. He was very much looking forward to seeing how far Nongyu could go in music.
In the original trajectory, even when she was trapped in the Sparrow Pavilion, she was able to use a piece of music to free Bai Feng from the cage of the night. Even though she had never studied under a famous teacher, she was able to create a piece of music that could communicate with nature, such as "Birdsong in the Empty Mountains".
Yang Che was very much looking forward to seeing what kind of brilliance this talent would ultimately unleash, given his accumulated experience as a transmigrator.
The three chatted idly, but gradually, Cai Die found it boring because she realized that even with her skill in social interactions, she could never get a word in edgewise in front of Yang Che and Nong Yu.
When Yang Che said, "Miss Cai Die, please go ahead with your business. My junior sister and I have some private conversation to discuss," Cai Die's heart was filled with mixed feelings, but she still got up to take her leave. As for leaving Nong Yu behind, that should be fine.
When Nongyu was alone in the room, she seemed to understand and asked Yang Che, "Senior Brother, is there something important you want to tell me?"
"You need to be careful of my uncle," Yang Che said solemnly.
Yang Che couldn't be sure about Liu Yi's character, nor could he be sure how much his nephew meant to Liu Yi.
For Madam Hu, Liu Yi did not hesitate to frame his colleagues, causing the annihilation of his allied forces. In order to obtain Madam Hu, he did not hesitate to collude with bandits to wipe out Madam Hu's entire family. Over the years, Madam Hu's indifference towards Liu Yi, and all these things combined, Madam Hu had long become his inner demon.
Faced with this inner demon, Yang Che dared not guarantee Liu Yi's integrity.
"Isn't Zuo Sima your uncle?" Nongyu asked, puzzled. In her opinion, her senior brother's elders shouldn't be bad people.
"Yes, but that doesn't determine whether he's a good person or not. Good and bad people are often relative issues. I can't explain why, but you just need to remember, junior sister, never be alone with him when I'm not around," Yang Che instructed.
Nongyu pondered for a moment. Although she found Yang Che's words inexplicable, she still said out of trust in Yang Che, "I remember Senior Brother's instructions."
Even with Nongyu's assurance, Yang Che was still somewhat uneasy. Liu Yi, who was already obsessed with the matter of Madam Hu, had no idea where his limits would lie. Therefore, Yang Che asked:
"Junior sister, have you learned martial arts?"
"Is Senior Brother talking about martial arts?" Nongyu asked uncertainly, as she knew both martial arts and dance.
"Indeed, it is martial arts."
Zi Nu is highly skilled in martial arts. In this city, her lightness skill is among the top five, her swordsmanship is also remarkable, and she is proficient in the Guigu breathing technique. Although she is not a match for masters like Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei, she is a top-tier female master.
The younger sisters she trained were all elites. Although Cai Die was instantly killed by Zhen Hou, one of the Eight Linglong incarnations, in the original trajectory, it did not mean that Cai Die was weak; it was just that her opponent was too strong.
Judging from Cai Die's martial arts skills alone, she is already considered a minor expert in Xinzheng.
As Zi Nu's younger sister, Nong Yu is also quite skilled in martial arts, after all, she is a female swordswoman who can force Wei Zhuang to take action.
To ordinary people, Nongyu's martial arts skills were quite good, and she could be considered a skilled fighter. However, with the knowledge of a transmigrator, Yang Che's standards were naturally very high. These so-called masters in Xinzheng were really not worth his attention.
"My sister taught us martial arts." Nongyu said, glancing at Yang Che. This was one of the reasons why she dared to agree to Yang Che's request; she had ways to protect herself.
"Knowing martial arts is good. Having a foundation will make it easier to switch to other skills." Yang Che understood. He had already decided to pass on the martial arts of the Flower Sect to Nongyu.
Instead of worrying about Nongyu, we should strengthen her abilities.
"Transfer to martial arts?" Nongyu was taken aback. Could it be that Yang Che also knew martial arts? Why had she never sensed it before?
"That's right, Junior Sister doesn't think that we Flower Sect only know how to play the zither and paint, does she?" Yang Che asked back.
"Could it be that my senior brother also knows martial arts?" Nongyu realized at this moment that she seemed to have misjudged something.
This is understandable. When she first met Yang Che, he indeed did not know martial arts. Later, Yang Che learned the Flower Wanderer skill, which is good at concealing one's aura and emphasizes subtlety. With Nongyu's shallow martial arts skills, she naturally could not sense anything.
"That's a good point. If you don't even know martial arts, wouldn't you miss out on a lot of fun?" Yang Che thought to himself. He was really looking forward to combining all the martial arts of the Heavenly Demon Strategy and becoming invincible.
"Alright, enough of the nonsense. Next, I will teach you our Flower Sect's signature martial art, Flower Wanderer. Junior Sister, you must practice diligently in the future and strive to become a master as soon as possible."
"Wandering Among Flowers? What a beautiful name. It must be a very elegant martial art," Nongyu murmured.
Sure enough, even with her composure, she couldn't escape the nature of a young girl. When she heard about Hua Jian You, her first interest wasn't whether Hua Jian You was powerful, but whether she was beautiful.
