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

With the Heavenly Demon Strategy as his aid, Yang Che didn't need to worry about going astray in his cultivation. However, Nongyu was different. So, while Nongyu was cultivating, Yang Che kept an eye on her. Before they knew it, it was already late at night, and even a nightclub like Zilan Pavilion gradually returned to quiet.

As the Purple Orchid Pavilion fell silent, Cai Die found it difficult to remain calm. She paced back and forth in her room, glancing occasionally at the room where Yang Che and Nong Yu were.

"Probably not, Nongyu is still so young." Caidie shook her head, banishing the indescribable images from her mind.

"However, it's not impossible. Imperial Censor Yang is handsome and gentle. Just now, in front of Liu Yi, he directly admitted that Nongyu was his junior sister. What woman wouldn't be moved by such a sense of responsibility?" Cai Die's determination didn't last long before it wavered again.

Cai Die remembered the sparkle in Nong Yu's eyes when Yang Che stood behind her and said those words. She wasn't surprised by it; if they were in different places, she would have been moved too.

Who wouldn't like someone who is willing to defy societal norms for their own sake?

"That's precisely why it's even more dangerous. No, Sister Zi Nu isn't here tonight, and I can't keep an eye on Nong Yu... Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it to Sister Zi Nu." After much deliberation, Cai Die decided to take action.

Of course, deep down, Cai Die had another thought she didn't want to say: she didn't want Yang Che to become her brother-in-law so quickly.

Cai Die pushed open the door, paused briefly, then returned to the room. A short while later, she came out of the room again carrying a brocade box.

As the butterfly departed, there was a knock on the door of another room.

Cai Die stood in front of the door, feeling a surge of nervousness: What kind of scene would unfold inside? Would they be in a flurry of activity, and how long would they make me wait before opening the door?

Butterfly's question was quickly answered, because she only had to wait a few breaths before the door opened.

"What is this, Miss Cai Die?" Yang Che pushed open the door and appeared in front of Cai Die.

"It's getting late, and Cai Die is thinking of bringing some late-night snacks to Imperial Censor Yang and Sister Nongyu." Cai Die casually brushed a strand of hair from her temple to hide her guilty conscience.

"Miss Cai Die is very kind." Yang Che took the wooden box from Cai Die's hand. It was obviously a good item. It would be hard to believe that a box made of such material contained only two steamed buns.

"Where is Nongyu?" Caidie asked 'unintentionally'.

"Nongyu is cultivating and cannot come out for the time being." Yang Che said, opening the wooden box. As he had expected, the box contained exquisite pastries.

"Cultivation?" Cai Die was taken aback and couldn't react.

"Regarding martial arts training, although our Flower Sect is a small sect, we still have our own inherited martial arts. Since Nongyu has already joined our Flower Sect, she will naturally have to train in our Flower Sect's martial arts," Yang Che explained.

"Martial arts?" Cai Die put aside her chaotic thoughts. Martial arts, especially profound martial arts, are the secrets of each family. Nong Yu really had good luck.

Thinking about her previous wild thoughts, Cai Die blushed. What had she been thinking?

Since I don't believe him, I should believe Nongyu instead.

Cai Die said to Yang Che with shame, "Since Nong Yu is cultivating, I will not disturb her. Please take good care of Nong Yu, Imperial Censor Yang."

"Nongyu is my junior sister." Yang Che gave Cai Die a strange look. Speaking of which, she was also a courtesan. If he didn't have a greater desire for Zilan Pavilion, he might have already made a move.

The very next day, Yang Che and Liu Yi left Zilan Pavilion, and Cai Die never appeared again.

The next day at noon, the tightly closed backyard of Zilan Pavilion suddenly opened, and a carriage stopped outside. Cai Die, who had been on very good terms with Yang Che the night before, came out to greet them.

At this moment, a woman in purple also stepped out of the carriage.

"Sister, was the trip alright?" Cai Die asked as she approached.

"Not bad, we got a good price." Zi Nu said, taking Cai Die's hand.

Although Zilanxuan has many sisters, at this stage, only Caidie can support Zilanxuan after she leaves.

"That's good. That makes sense. With you in charge, there's no way things won't go smoothly," Cai Die said with a sigh of relief, realizing that she had been too concerned.

"But Cai Die, why do you look so listless? Didn't you get enough rest? Did something happen to you last night?" Zi Nu asked with concern as she pulled Cai Die into the Zi Lan Pavilion.

Cai Die almost subconsciously touched her eyes, where she had dark circles. She hadn't slept last night, after all. As for the reason?

Cai Die said that she absolutely couldn't say anything, but faced with Zi Nu's question, she couldn't very well not answer, so she could only say, "I'm fine, it's just that Nong Yu..."

"What's wrong with Nongyu?" Zi Nu asked. She trusted Cai Die, believing she could handle any problem, but Nongyu was different; she was still young.

"Nongyu has actually joined a sect and even gained a senior brother." Caidie replied with a strange expression. She still remembered clearly the scene of Yang Che blocking Nongyu's way last night, even though a night had passed.

"Nongyu told you everything?" Zi Nu showed no surprise at what Cai Die had said.

As the older sister, how could she not care about her younger sister when she sent her to study outside? Nongyu thought she had hidden it well, but little did she know that Zinu had already noticed it on the first day she met Yang Che, and had already figured out the whole story by the second day.

In addition to delivering intelligence, this trip to the Hidden Dragon Hall also yielded a piece of intelligence that I had ordered.

"Sister, you know all this?" Cai Die was even more shocked. Could it be that everyone else knew except her?

Am I the Joker?

"There's nothing surprising about it. Nongyu's zither skills have improved by leaps and bounds recently, and she has even mastered the art of playing the zither. That old zither player from the palace doesn't have such skills." Zi Nu was very calm, everything was under control, and there was nothing to be surprised about.

"Looks like I was worrying for nothing," Cai Die said with a helpless bitter smile.

"But how did you find out about this? Nongyu is growing up, and the first thing she's learned is to keep her little secrets." Beneath Zi Nu's composed demeanor lay an unexpected surprise.

During her trip to Qianlong Hall, Zi Nu obtained information about Yang Che's activities at Jixia Academy.

Yang Che of Jixia Academy was quite ordinary among the three thousand scholars. Apart from having some talent in music, his knowledge of the various schools of thought was mediocre. He was frivolous and even got into a fight with others over a woman from the Yin-Yang School, which led to his death. As a result, he had to hastily quit his studies and return to Han in a sorry state.

It's just unknown how he escaped the pursuit; perhaps that's his secret, just as his mastery of music is not simply a matter of being good at it.

Zi Nu had been observing Nong Yu's interactions with Yang Che, but she did not stop them. From her observations, she did not detect any malice in Yang Che towards Nong Yu.

Some things are better left unchecked than prevented. Nongyu will eventually grow up and needs to face many things on her own. Simply protecting her is not enough to help her grow. Besides, although Zilanxuan is a place of refuge, it is also a place of trouble.

Nongyu needs the awareness and ability to protect herself, and Yang Che is a very good whetstone for her.

When Cai Die heard that Zi Nu also had things she didn't know, she felt a surge of joy. She vividly recounted what happened last night, from the arrival of Liu Yi and Yang Che, to Liu Yi's unreasonable demands, to Nong Yu's compromises, until Yang Che stood up without hesitation and publicly acknowledged that Nong Yu was his junior sister.

Cai Die herself didn't realize that the gleam in her eyes when she finished speaking, that sense of responsibility for one person regardless of worldly conventions, was an irresistible temptation for any woman.

At this moment, Zi Nu did not notice the changes in Cai Die, because she was already in a state of unease: Oh no, am I about to be attacked?

Just as Cai Die felt, Zi Nu could imagine the impact Yang Che's actions would have on Nong Yu.

The lower a woman's social standing, the harder it is for her to resist such temptations.

If she was previously certain that Nongyu's contact with Yang Che was primarily due to the musical score, and that even though they were fellow disciples, their relationship wouldn't extend beyond that, Zi Nu was no longer so sure.

"Sister, sister, please say something! What should we do?"

The butterflies chattered incessantly nearby, sniffing the air, which finally brought Zi Nu back to reality.

"Let's wait and see how things develop. It's a good thing that Nongyu has such a senior brother. It might reduce a lot of trouble in the future. Besides, some things are easier said than done."

Zi Nu pondered. She thought that Yang Che dared to admit to Liu Yi that Nong Yu was her junior sister because he thought that Liu Yi was his uncle and wouldn't do anything to him, at most he would just scold him. That's why he was so fearless. But what if this matter were exposed to the public?

At that time, did Yang Che still have the courage he had the night before?

If Yang Che still dares to admit to the world that Nongyu is his junior sister, how can she, as the older sister, help the two of them get together?

But would he dare to defy public opinion?

Public opinion can be as powerful as metal; it is the sharpest knife in the world.

Butterfly had no idea that Purple Maiden had been thinking so much. At this moment, she was thinking about something else entirely. Perhaps, I…
