Having accomplished his task, Yang Che, who kept his merits and fame hidden, encountered Zi Nu and the others on the other side of the imperial road.

Zi Nu is indeed a clever person. At the very first moment of the chaos, she led Nong Yu and Cai Die to a safe place.

"Imperial Censor Yang was truly magnificent just now, like a god descending from heaven," Cai Die said, looking intently at Yang Che.

She had also experienced the chaos just now. If Zi Nu hadn't pulled her and Nong Yu away from the crowd in time, even if they had martial arts skills, it might not have been effective under the shoving of the crowd. If something had happened, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

But it was precisely this chaos that allowed Yang Che to restore order, and he even gave all the credit to Hong Lian. Her wisdom and character were fully demonstrated, making her practically impeccable.

"It's better if heroes don't appear." Yang Che shook his head and smiled bitterly; he didn't want to attract that kind of attention.

"Why is that?" Cai Die asked, puzzled. Why shouldn't heroes, beings revered by the world, appear?

"Because the appearance of a hero often means that someone is suffering, I would rather not have experienced chaos tonight than become a hero," Yang Che said with emotion.

"The more you do something, the more tired you become. Your thinking is quite similar to the Taoist principle of non-action," said Zi Nu, who had been observing from the sidelines.

"I'm from the Flower School," Yang Che corrected.

Zi Nu ignored Yang Che's sophistry. She knew whether the Flower School existed among the Hundred Schools of Thought. She had always been reserved about the Flower School that Yang Che mentioned. She could sense that Yang Che held a great secret.

Although students at the Jixia Academy were exposed to the doctrines of various schools of thought, those doctrines could not influence their choices and behaviors unless the students of those schools of thought had studied them to a certain level.

Yang Che's simple debate on heroes is in line with the Taoist principle of non-action. She would never believe that Yang Che had never studied Taoist doctrines.

However, the method Yang Che used to stop the crowd was Legalist.

You are using Honglian's status as a princess to carry out her orders. This is a Legalist approach, decisive and ruthless, and it also aligns with the military strategy.

In such a short time, you have demonstrated the methods of Taoism, Legalism, and the School of Military Strategy. Who exactly are you? The intelligence reports that you are ignorant and incompetent at the Jixia Academy. Is that really you?

Of course, Zi Nu did not say these words, but kept these suspicions firmly in her heart.

She even began to suspect that the Flower Sect was just a fabrication by Yang Che, and that someone with Yang Che's insight could not be cultivated by a small sect.

But why would Yang Che fabricate the lie about the Flower Sect? Was it just to deceive Nongyu? That would be too absurd.

Zi Nu realized that she could no longer understand Yang Che.

Of course she couldn't understand it; Yang Che's experiences were beyond the comprehension of someone like her, an "ancient person."

However, Zi Nu gradually became certain of one thing: Yang Che probably had no ill intentions towards Nong Yu or Zi Lan Xuan. Someone as well-versed in the teachings of various schools of thought as he would not covet a place of pleasure.

If we absolutely must find a reason for Yang Che's approach to Nongyu...

As Zi Nu pondered, the words Yang Che had whispered in her ear earlier came to mind.

Realizing this, Zi Nu blushed unusually, muttering under her breath, "You lecherous scoundrel."

"Senior brother, that princess is still on the rooftop," Nongyu said weakly from the side.

"Huh?" Yang Che subconsciously followed Nongyu's gaze and saw that Honglian was still on the roof, shivering in the cold wind.

"Why isn't the princess coming down yet?" Cai Die asked blankly.

"Is it possible that she couldn't get down on her own?" Zi Nu rolled her eyes at Yang Che speechlessly. Just now she thought Yang Che was a disciple of some grandmaster, but in the blink of an eye, Yang Che did something unreliable.

"Well, I thought the princess didn't want to come down yet," Yang Che explained.

But who would believe that? Zi Nu and Cai Die didn't believe it, only Nong Yu did: "Indeed, Princess Hong Lian has really made a name for herself tonight, being worshipped by so many people, it's normal that she doesn't want to come down."

"I'll go up and bring the princess down right away," Yang Che said. He couldn't admit that he had been so focused on showing off in front of Zi Nu that he had temporarily forgotten that Hong Lian was still on the roof.

"Nongyu, Caidie, let's go back first. After all the chaos just now, we're not in the mood for sightseeing anymore." Zinu turned and left; there had been too much of a farce tonight.

"Okay." Cai Die followed closely behind, and Nong Yu looked at it and followed as well.

Yang Che then leaped onto the roof and walked towards Honglian. He saw that Honglian had a stern face and truly had a bit of royal dignity.

However, her majesty could only last for a moment in Yang Che's sight. The instant she saw Yang Che, her small face softened, but then anger flared up.

"Yang Che, you still know how to come back?" Honglian said sternly, her voice low.

"Should I leave?" Yang Che paused in his steps and asked.

"No!" Honglian panicked instantly. If Yang Che left again, how would she get down? Was she really going to stand here in the cold wind?

"What?" Yang Che pretended not to hear, teasing the little princess was actually quite a fun thing.

"Don't go." After saying these two words, Honglian felt ashamed, but she dared not let Yang Che leave. The roof was very slippery and she couldn't stand steadily. It was night and the wind was cold.

"It was my oversight just now, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Princess." Yang Che softened his tone as he realized he had achieved his goal.

Teasing is fine, but going too far is not good. If he angers a princess, Yang Che will be in a lot of trouble. Not to mention, if Honglian falls off the roof, it will be difficult to explain to her king father.

If Yang Che wanted to continue living a carefree life in South Korea, he would naturally have to give King Han some 'face'.

Yang Che's concession brought tears to Honglian's eyes. Just now, she was really scared, afraid that if she accidentally fell, not only would her life be in danger, but she might also be ridiculed.

Although she didn't understand what social death was, she knew that being ridiculed and made a laughing stock because of it would be worse than death.

So when Yang Che walked in front of her, she didn't need to say anything; she took his hand herself. Although her expression showed stubbornness, her tone was softer: "Take me down, my legs are numb."

"I dare not refuse the princess's command." Yang Che joked, then pulled Honglian into his arms and leaped off the roof.

Once she was back on solid ground, Honglian instantly regained her confidence and started baring her teeth and claws again, but Yang Che skillfully dodged them all.
