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

Chapter 71 The Night Banquet at the Lü Mansion

As the lover of the King of Wei, Lord Longyang knew that he was looked down upon by the world. But it was precisely because of this that he cared most about his reputation. Over the years, although he had the King of Wei's favor, he was never arrogant in his dealings with others, nor did he ever use the King of Wei's favor to seek personal gain.

In the imperial court, Lord Longyang never formed factions, but was loyal only to King Wei, and handled all the affairs entrusted to him by King Wei in an orderly manner.

In short, he was a male concubine who was not arrogant despite being favored, and who was both capable and loyal.

Even someone as proud as Lord Xinling, Wei Wuji, would not show any disrespect to Lord Longyang.

Knowing the status of Lord Longyang, Li Wuxia, in the State of Wei, Yang Che naturally had no reason to be negligent. Therefore, he was quite enthusiastic about Lord Longyang's visit.

This made Lord Longyang feel as if he were bathed in a spring breeze.

Lord Longyang was quite surprised by Yang Che's courteous treatment. When interacting with others, although people with a mind of their own would not show anything due to his status, he could still sense the hidden distance between them.

However, Yang Che was different. Yang Che's enthusiasm for him was genuine and not at all fake, which made Longyang Jun somewhat suspicious, but also genuinely happy. He had an awkward status, so he had worked diligently all these years, hoping to gain the recognition of others. And now, he felt that recognition from Yang Che.

This is exactly the effect Yang Che wanted.

As for acceptance, what does Longyang Jun's affair matter to Yang Che, a transmigrator? It's just a homosexual relationship, isn't it?

In later generations, such things would not be surprising at all.

Lord Longyang came with a sense of apprehension, but left happily, feeling that his trip had been worthwhile, as he had actually made a good friend in Xianyang.

For several days in a row, Lord Longyang would come to visit every day, and Yang Che would also visit Lord Longyang at the Wei embassy. Over time, Yang Che became acquainted with some people at the Wei embassy, ​​such as Dian Qing and Mei San Niang, the disciples of the two Wei generals.

Under the bright spring sunshine, at the South Korean embassy, ​​Dian Qing, whose hands were the size of a winnowing basket, held a small dagger and carefully scraped the scales off a fish that most people would hold in their hands.

In front of the stove, Mei San Niang, who is usually carefree, was intently turning the baking tray, occasionally sprinkling seasonings on it.

"Brother Dianqing's skill in killing fish shows that his knife skills have reached a level of consummate mastery."

Yang Che, who was just waiting to eat, was naturally willing to provide some emotional value to the laborers while they were working.

"Brother Yang, you also know martial arts?" Dian Qing asked curiously upon hearing this.

Because of the frequent exchanges between the embassies of Han and Wei in recent days, he explained to Yang Che that he was simple-minded and that Yang Che was willing to make friends with him. So, the two naturally became friends.

Did you not see that at this time, the Wei people were grilling fish in the Korean embassy?

As for Mei San Niang, although she has a fiery temper, she is still a young girl after all. Yang Che can easily handle such a girl. Now, these two top disciples of the Armored Sect have already regarded Yang Che as one of their own.

The moment Yang Che met the two senior and junior disciples, he was already thinking about how to subdue the remaining members of the Armored Sect and the Demonic Sect after the fall of the Wei Kingdom. He believed that the Armored Sect was a force to be reckoned with and needed talented people from all walks of life.

"I know a little, I know a little. If it comes to fighting on the battlefield, I'm obviously no match, but when it comes to escaping, I do have some experience," Yang Che said modestly.

The invulnerable martial arts of the Armored Sect made them virtually invincible on the battlefield, a feat that Yang Che's Flower Wanderer could never match.

Struggles in the martial world and battles on the battlefield are two completely different things.

"Brother Yang is a civil official; learning some martial arts to strengthen his body is enough," Dian Qing said, though this answer seemed a little too straightforward.

"Yes, as long as we are physically fit, that's enough. After all, health is the foundation of everything," Yang Che agreed.

"Brother Yang, if you really want to improve your health, why not join our Armored Sect? Our Armored Sect's martial arts are the best for strengthening the body," said Mei San Niang, who was focused on grilling fish.

Although Yang Che wasn't her type of man, she couldn't resist how handsome he was. Ah, the human appreciation of beauty is often universal.

This is true for Mei San Niang now. Although she doesn't like Yang Che, that doesn't stop her from appreciating his good looks.

"Actually, it's not bad. If I ever get into a fight with someone in the court, I won't be afraid of being ganged up on by the armor-clad martial arts of the Armored Sect," Yang Che said with a smile.

The armored men's invulnerability to swords and spears is one thing, but their toughness is something that would tempt any man.

"There's no fighting in the imperial court," Mei San Niang said, displeased, taking it as Yang Che teasing her.

"Yes, but can the martial arts of the Armored Sect be passed on to outsiders?" Yang Che pressed.

By the way, does the Heavenly Demon Strategy include body-refining techniques?

The Purple Blood Technique should count, right?

"Don't tell anyone," Dian Qing said sullenly.

"That's a real pity. I can't very well join the Armored Sect, can I?" Yang Che said regretfully.

"Why not?" Mei San Niang asked, puzzled. Although she thought Yang Che was handsome, he was too weak. If he could cultivate the martial arts of the Armored Sect, he would definitely become more masculine and look more pleasing to the eye.

"I should get a promotion when I return from this mission to Qin," Yang Che thought to himself.

Yang Che's trip to Qin was aimed at the Flower Sect. Now that he has obtained the Heaven-Mending Dao, his next battlefield will be the Heaven-Mending Pavilion. He will obtain the subsequent cultivation methods of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion and combine the strengths of the Flower Sect and the Heaven-Mending Sect to complete a true transformation.

Yang Che had waited far too long for that day; it was a hundred chapters' worth of time.

As they chatted, time slowly passed, and around noon, a gift was delivered.

"Prime Minister Lü is hosting a banquet tonight?" Yang Che opened the invitation, which was signed by the Prime Minister's residence.

The time was indeed almost up. Empress Dowager Xia had already been buried. Apart from King Zheng of Qin and Lord Chang'an Cheng Jiao, who were still in mourning, the rest of Qin could basically resume their normal lives. As the prime minister, Lü Buwei was about to begin dealing with the affairs of envoys from various countries who were coming to Qin.

"I imagine Lord Longyang also received an invitation, as did the states of Zhao, Chu, and even Qi." Yang Che pondered for a moment, already understanding Lü Buwei's intention in hosting the banquet.

The banquet for the envoys of the six states is unlikely to cause any unforeseen complications. Lü Buwei currently holds great power, and if he wanted to do anything with the envoys, he wouldn't need to lift a finger.

For Lü Buwei now, his opponents are the kings of the six states, or rather, the king of Qin, and the envoys of the six states, who are not worth his personal attention.

So, this dinner is just a dinner, and in that case, I'd like to have a good taste of the Prime Minister's cooking.

Yang Che pondered, already looking forward to the banquet. Moreover, the banquet offered another opportunity: Lü Buwei's Prime Minister's Mansion was the largest power center besides the Qin King's Palace, and in some ways, even more famous than the Han King's Palace. If Yang Che could leverage the Prime Minister's Mansion to establish the reputation of the Flower School, it would greatly help in completing his mission.

The cultivation insights of Mu Qingliu, a pioneer of the integration of Flower Garden and Heaven Mending, a generation of holy ruler of the Demonic Sect, are of great benefit to Yang Che's cultivation of both Flower Garden and Heaven Mending.

The journey to the Innate Realm will begin in Lü Buwei's Prime Minister's residence.
