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

Chapter 73: Everyone step back, it's my turn to show off.

Gan Luo truly deserves to be called a genius boy who will leave his name in history books. Although he was only eleven or twelve years old, he was impeccable in dealing with people. Even though the envoys from the six countries were all elites of their respective countries, Gan Luo treated them with no problem. He was neither obsequious nor arrogant.

His ability to strike the right balance demonstrates his wisdom.

It was quite reasonable that Lü Buwei did not appear at this time. Given his power, there was really no need for him to come out and entertain the guests from the very beginning. It would be enough for him to appear at the middle of the event and show his power and demeanor to the envoys of the six states. As for scheming and fighting with the envoys of the six states, it was really not worth it for him to do it personally.

That's really beneath me.

Hosted by Gan Luo, the banquet was a joyous occasion. Even the envoys from various countries who had disagreements with each other were able to chat and laugh happily under Gan Luo's mediation and guidance.

During this process, Yang Che learned that the envoy from Zhao was actually a disciple of Guo Kai, which piqued Yang Che's interest in this person. Although Guo Kai was not yet the prime minister of Zhao, nor had he transformed into the famous general and assassin he would become in the future, he was already showing his potential.

As a favorite minister of the current King of Zhao, Guo Kai wields considerable power in the Zhao state. Since the Zhao envoy is a disciple of Guo Kai, Yang Che might need to utilize this person if he has any plans for the Zhao state in the future.

Of course, what's even more interesting is that during the banquet, Yang Che clearly sensed that Gan Luo was quite enthusiastic towards the Zhao envoy, while Longyang Jun's expression was slightly unpleasant.

When Qin showed friendship to Zhao, Wei felt the pressure. Similarly, when Qin and Wei became friends, Zhao felt the pressure. Of course, Han should also be included, as Han never felt the pressure from Qin.

As the banquet progressed, the atmosphere gradually became more lively amidst the singing and dancing. Gan Luo, who was serving on behalf of the host, seemed to unintentionally raise his wine cup towards Yang Che and asked with the curiosity only a young man could have: "The eulogy written by the Han envoy at Zhiyang Palace is famous throughout Xianyang. Although I only have a rudimentary understanding of literature, I often read it. Every time I read it, I can't help but shed tears. The feelings of plants and trees are so genuine and pure, far better than those of us who are caught up in the turbid currents of the world, scheming and running around all day for fame and fortune."

"In life, we are often not in control of our own destiny," Yang Che said, following Gan Luo's words, but he was already on high alert. Anyone who truly regarded Gan Luo as a boy was truly as naive as a boy.

"Tao Yao, what a beautiful name, taken from the Book of Songs. It's just a pity that we have no chance to see this heroic spirit. It's truly a regrettable thing," Gan Luo said.

During this period, the Chang'an Jun faction has been vigorously promoting Yang Che's memorial text, with the aim of binding Empress Dowager Xia with the spirit Tao Yao in the text, thereby adding a sacred aura to Empress Dowager Xia and gaining political capital.

This was clearly not what Lü Buwei wanted to see. His power came from King Zheng of Qin, and Lü Buwei could not allow the Chang'an Jun lineage to operate in this way. Therefore, starting from the source of Yang Che's eulogy and exposing the lies within it was a good choice for Lü Buwei.

In the eyes of Lü Buwei and his ilk, matters of ghosts and gods were all fictitious. How could it be such a coincidence that a peach tree planted by Empress Dowager Xia when she married into the Qin state could give birth to a heroic spirit?

Everything was a lie, and Yang Che was the source of the lie.

Therefore, to expose this lie, we need to start with Yang Che.

So that's where they were waiting for me.

Gan Luo was certainly a genius, but he was still too young, and his actions were inevitably somewhat questionable. Yang Che understood this as soon as he heard it.

The story of Peach Blossom is obviously false, but there are countless false stories in classical texts. As long as it is made to look real enough and as long as enough people believe it, it becomes real.

Besides, isn't this exactly the opportunity I've been looking for?

When the envoys from the five kingdoms turned their gazes to Yang Che because of Gan Luo's curiosity, Yang Che suddenly smiled under everyone's gaze: "Since you are curious, young master, I will satisfy your curiosity. To be honest, I come from the Flower School. I have no other skills, but I am best at painting. Bring me brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and I will paint Peach Blossom."

Yang Che came to the Qin State with the intention of fulfilling a mission for the Flower Sect.

With envoys from five states in person and the Qin Prime Minister's office providing endorsement, what stage could be more suitable than this moment?

The opportunity to complete the third stage of the Flower Sect's mission, which is also very likely the final stage, has arrived.

"The Flower School?" Gan Luo pondered for a moment, then laughed loudly, "Alright, then we'll have to see for ourselves."

Following Gan Luo's instructions, maids soon filed in, carrying writing brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, and various pigments.

Yang Che picked up his wine cup, strolled into the room, picked up a brush, and scribbled across the inkstone, the soft brush tip quickly moving across the thin paper.

A giant peach tree gradually took shape.

During this process, Yang Che held a wine cup in one hand and painted with the other, taking sips from time to time. When the wine in the cup was empty, just as Yang Che was about to refill his cup, Gan Luo took the initiative to pick up the wine pot and fill Yang Che's cup.

His eyes, which were deeper than those of an ordinary boy, were now filled with undisguised amazement.

Although people's appreciation of paintings has changed over time, their fundamental appreciation of beauty has never changed.

Painting skills, like calligraphy, have never been interrupted in their transmission. However, the painting skills of this era are only in their initial stages of development. As a time traveler, Yang Che's painting skills alone are unparalleled in this era.

Since awakening his memories, Yang Che first initiated the inheritance of the Flower School. With his cultivation, he also gained some understanding of the way of painting. In painting, Yang Che is undoubtedly a master in this era.

In Yang Che's writing, a peach tree stretches its limbs under the early spring sun. Under the tree, there is a man's back to him, and under the tree, the figure of a woman is outlined.

As the woman's figure appeared, Gan Luo clearly held his breath and then appeared.

Yang Che's brushstrokes suddenly became delicate. He painted peach trees and men's backs using the freehand style, but when he painted this woman, he changed his rough style.

As Yang Che meticulously sketched each stroke, a woman with classical charm yet ethereal beauty appeared on the canvas.

When it comes to painting beauties, Yang Che has always been a professional. There are many places in the Seven Kingdoms that Yang Che has never been to, but he has seen far too many beauties from his past and present lives.

In Yang Che's experience, there were indeed women who were beautiful enough and had a certain charm.

Therefore, when Yang Che painted the beauty, Gan Luo's doubts about Yang Che began to waver. The sacrificial text was unfortunately fabricated, but how could a woman who was so beautiful and had an ethereal quality be painted if one had never seen her?

Yang Che finished painting the beautiful woman, but he didn't stop. Instead, he sketched a peach blossom bun on the tree branch above the woman's head, which was also the only peach blossom bun.

As everyone watched his brush move, Yang Che suddenly drank the last mouthful of wine. To everyone's disbelief, he sprayed the wine onto the flower buds, and as the wine seeped in, the buds slowly bloomed.

When it comes to showing off one's skills in front of others, Yang Che is the real expert; even the contemporary successor of the School of Diplomacy wouldn't be able to match him.
