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

"Hey, Yang Che, what are you doing? In just this short time, which woman have you hooked up with this time?" As Yang Che met Zi Nu and the others, Hong Lian, who had just found a favorite item at a stall, also emerged from behind him.

Zi Nu looked at the round face peeking out from behind Yang Che, a hint of disgust flashing between her brows.

She wasn't usually one to show her emotions, but Yang Che's "recklessness" had thrown her into disarray. Right now, she hated Yang Che for making her look foolish, and the girl Yang Che brought along, Honglian, had to utter such nasty words. It was no wonder she couldn't possibly have any good feelings towards Honglian.

"Don't slander me out of thin air. I just met a few friends," Yang Che explained.

Regardless of his relationship with Nongyu or the existence of the Heavenly Demon Strategy, Yang Che was unwilling to completely offend Zi Nu. Moreover, Zi Nu was a woman who was easy to like.

"You have so many friends, you can run into them everywhere." Honglian curled her lips, unconvinced by Yang Che's words, and then turned her gaze to Zi Nu. Upon closer inspection, she couldn't help but feel amazed.

She was born and raised in the Han royal palace. The Han royal palace had many beautiful women, and she had seen many so-called beauties. But even so, Zi Nu's appearance was still extremely striking.

Honglian, who always judged people by their appearance, instantly developed a good impression of Zinu and became even more curious about which family Zinu was from, as she had never seen her before.

"It's alright," Yang Che replied perfunctorily. He had no intention of introducing Honglian to Zi Nu, nor did he intend to introduce Zi Nu to Honglian.

Honglian and Zinu could meet in various ways, but they could never meet through Yang Che's introduction.

Introducing a princess of a kingdom to the owner of a brothel is a taboo subject. If word gets back to King Han An, Yang Che might have to leave his homeland and go to another country to start a business.

"Aren't you going to introduce your friend?" Honglian looked Zinu up and down, already deciding that if Zinu and Yang Che really had that kind of relationship, she would say bad things about Yang Che no matter what, because she was very vengeful.

Zi Nu realized that Hong Lian's identity was extraordinary, so she naturally had no intention of going up to talk to her. People from two different worlds met today by chance, and they were destined to have no interaction in the future. Why bother to approach her and only be looked down upon?

At this moment, Nongyu and Caidie had already bought the incense. Caidie walked to Zinu's side and looked curiously at the suddenly appearing Honglian, while Nongyu moved closer to Yang Che.

Looking at the two women who suddenly appeared, Cai Die was nothing special, just plain pretty and not worth Hong Lian's attention. But Nong Yu was different; with her beautiful face and quiet, elegant temperament, she seemed more like a princess than Hong Lian herself.

Moreover, Nongyu was about the same age as her.

"I am Honglian, and you are..." Honglian saw such a beautiful person of her own age and wanted to get to know her, as she didn't have many friends her age.

"Is this incense burner prepared for me?" Before Honglian could finish her question, Yang Che directly grabbed Nongyu's wrist through her sleeve and took a small incense burner from her hand.

Nongyu was caught off guard by Yang Che's sudden action. Of course, she didn't have any other thoughts. She had long regarded Yang Che as her older brother, and such intimacy between siblings was perfectly normal.

"Yes." Nongyu nodded, looking at Honglian with curiosity, wondering what the relationship was between this cute and noble girl and her senior brother.

Zi Nu watched this scene unfold and sighed inwardly. No matter how self-respecting and self-loving they were, in the eyes of the world, they were still lowly, not even as good as prostitutes.

Cai Die was somewhat surprised to see Yang Che suddenly grab Nong Yu's wrist. Although Nong Yu was Yang Che's junior sister, grabbing her wrist directly was still too intimate and abrupt. Yang Che hadn't acted like this before.

Cai Die subconsciously looked at Zi Nu, but saw that Zi Nu was unmoved. Only then did she realize that Nong Yu was still staring blankly at Hong Lian. She quickly took two steps forward and naturally moved closer to Yang Che, saying, "Imperial Censor Yang, what do you think of this incense I bought? If you like it, I will use it from now on."

Honglian stared in shock at Caidie, who was standing almost face-to-face with Yang Che in front of everyone. Even her not-so-bright brain realized who Zinu, Nongyu, and the others were.

Thinking about how she had almost rushed to get to know the other woman, Honglian felt a surge of shame and indignation. If word got out that a princess of a kingdom had tried to get to know a woman of the pleasures of the land, how could she possibly save face? She would lose all her dignity.

Realizing this, Honglian glared fiercely at Yang Che, only to see that Yang Che was still in the mood to tease Cai Die: "This fragrance is sharp, which matches Cai Die's beauty perfectly."

"Then I'll use this aromatherapy from now on. Imperial Censor Yang, you mustn't find it offensive." Cai Die smiled charmingly and gently patted Yang Che's chest, showing even more intimacy.

Looking at Cai Die, who had suddenly become very enthusiastic, and then glancing at Hong Lian, whose face had turned cold, Nong Yu could easily understand that Yang Che's sudden intimacy was actually a way of telling Hong Lian about his identity.

Nongyu felt a pang of sadness upon realizing this, but this was her identity, and what could she do?

Yang Che, who was joking with Cai Die, did not give up her attention to Nong Yu. Seeing Nong Yu looking sad, Yang Che was also helpless. However, she could not introduce Nong Yu to Hong Lian, but she could reveal Nong Yu's identity to Hong Lian.

"Nongyu, why are you unhappy? Did I, as your senior brother, offend you, junior sister?" Yang Che asked Nongyu directly.

"Senior brother..." Nongyu suddenly looked up at Yang Che. Even though this was the second time, when Yang Che said the words "junior sister" in public, Nongyu still felt a sudden flutter in her heart.

Junior sister? Upon hearing this, Honglian subconsciously perked up her ears. Senior brother and junior sister? Aren't they a customer and a geisha? How can they be senior brother and junior sister?

Even if Honglian dislikes it, she has to admit that in this era, it is not considered bad for a man to frequent brothels. A man's philandering seems to be a matter of course. But is Yang Che crazy to recognize a woman from a brothel as his junior sister, or is Yang Che's master crazy?

If this gets out, Yang Che's reputation will be ruined. If he wants to achieve anything in the court in the future, his opponents will use this incident to their advantage, and they will use it to their advantage to kill him.

Women in brothels are different from prostitutes. Some people might consider a prostitute their wife, which is considered absurd, but women in brothels, even if they remain chaste, are still…

Seeing this scene, Zi Nu gained a more intuitive understanding of the description of the colorful butterfly, and her vigilance towards Yang Che reached its limit. Yang Che's methods were such that even she, let alone a young girl like Nong Yu, would probably not be able to withstand them if she were in a different place.

But are you willing to risk your life for lust, or do you truly care about Nongyu so much that you're willing to disregard social norms for her?

If it's the latter? Zi Nu didn't feel she had a reason to stop Yang Che, but Yang Che's abruptness just now... could it be...?

A terrible thought popped into her mind, and she quickly extinguished it.

"No, I was just thinking about something." Nongyu composed herself and presented Yang Che with a bright smile.

"Let's go, there are still many interesting things ahead," Yang Che suggested.

"Yes, Sister Zi Nu, Sister Cai Die, let's go." Nong Yu nodded, and just as Yang Che was about to let go of her wrist, she took Yang Che's hand instead, without even looking through his sleeve.

Upon seeing this, Zi Nu sighed softly.

Honglian looked at Yang Che and Nongyu with curiosity, her little head unable to figure out what kind of relationship Yang Che and Nongyu had. However, this was a good thing, as Honglian followed along on her own without Yang Che having to explain.

With Yang Che as the dividing line, Honglian followed on the left and Nongyu, Caidie, and Zinu on the right, the group walked along the bustling Imperial Street, attracting a lot of attention.

Yang Che remained indifferent to this, and Nongyu and the others were already used to the curious and scrutinizing gazes.

Honglian, however, felt annoyed by all the stares. She glared fiercely, scanning each person who looked at her with equal disdain. But she soon couldn't hold out any longer.

My eyes are sore, and my eyes are even red.
