Kiyomi Tsuki and His Fox

Chapter 31

Kiyoshi Tsuki laughed happily, "How could that be? I'm admiring a painting of handsome men. No matter how Young Master Qingfeng dresses up, he is still a beauty of unparalleled grace."

Qingfeng's heart trembled, but his wicked nature quickly prevailed. He walked gracefully over, leaned down to whisper in Qing Jianyue's ear, and said softly, "Jianyue, would you like to become mine?"

Kiyomi Tsuki was stunned. "What?"

"I'm saying, I like you. I want you."

Qingfeng hugged him. Qingjian Yue swung his fist, an arc aimed at Qingfeng's face. Qingfeng dodged with lightning speed, but Qingjian Yue's fist still grazed his cheek.

A loud laugh came from inside the hall. Lu Qingcheng strolled out casually. "I forgot to remind you, Jian Yue's punches are incredibly fast. Even I have a hard time dodging them."

Qingfeng rubbed his bruised cheek and laughed, "My cousin also took a punch from Jianyue, so that's fair."

"Since you're here, why don't you come in?" Lu Qingcheng looked at her cousin, her eyes flashing with a complex light.

"I'm waiting for Jianyue." Whether deliberately avoiding her cousin's gaze or not, Qingfeng looked at Qing Jianyue with a smile. "Zhang Sanlin said that Jianyue comes over around this time every year."

Qingjian Yue asked blankly, "Does Young Master Qingfeng have any instructions for his subordinates?"

Qingfeng lifted his chin and laughed, "Jianyue, I like you. Although it's only been one night, it feels like three autumns have passed."

Qing Jianyue's face looked even more idiotic. "Young Master Qingfeng is a man. I won't fall for it again this time."

"Stop playing with him. Come in, Qingfeng, I have something to ask you."

Lu Qingcheng glanced at the silly-looking Qing Jianyue, then turned and strode into the hall.

"Hmph, we still don't know who's playing whom, do we?" Qingfeng pulled Qingjian Yue into the small hall and asked, "Why isn't your little fox here?"

Kiyoshi said, "It caught a mouse somewhere and is playing with it in the courtyard. The mouse is so scared that it squeaks and screams, its soul almost leaving its body. It has no way to escape and is struggling desperately on the verge of death. The fox is playing with that mouse like this. It's really cruel. I'll go and order it to release the mouse."

"Jianyue, sit down, sit down." Qingfeng pressed him into the chair and sat down next to him, laughing, "Jianyue is the cutest. You know I don't like playing with mice."

Kiyoshi was furious. Wolf Fang immediately bared his teeth and roared, "You like turning into a woman so much? Even if you were the real deal, a human flesh bun worth a million taels of gold, I still wouldn't want you."

Lu Qingcheng was overjoyed and laughed heartily.

Qingfeng wasn't angry at all, and still had a big smile on her face. "It seems that I made the right decision to come back this time. With such a lovely person in the castle, it would be a shame not to come back and have some fun."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingcheng glanced at Qing Jianyue and said softly, "Qingfeng, I'm so glad you're back."

"Don't be too happy yet," Qingfeng said coldly. "I came back not for you, but for the sake of my lovely Jianyue." He reached out and playfully hooked Jianyue's chin. Jianyue jumped up angrily and hid behind Lu Qingcheng. Qingfeng smiled, not angry at all, but when his gaze fell on Lu Qingcheng's face, he seemed to change instantly, becoming cold and ruthless. He said, "Are you planning to have a big fight with the Sky Eagle Sect?"

Lu Qingcheng said, "Who else but you understand my heart?"

"Your heart is more unfathomable than the darkest hell. I don't know you. I only know that you are all smiles now, but in the blink of an eye you can come up with a thousand schemes to make others wish they were dead." A resentful light flashed in Qingfeng's beautiful long eyes.

"Qingfeng".

Lu Qingcheng wanted to explain, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Qingfeng.

"Forget it, you don't need to explain yourself. I won't listen to you or believe you."

Lu Qingcheng sat frozen, her eyes filled with gloom and sorrow. Qingfeng's chest heaved with emotion. Qing Jianyue thought to herself: The elder brother is eager to reconcile, but the younger brother is unable to forgive because of hatred. What kind of hatred could have caused such a deep misunderstanding between the brothers?

Just then, Zhang Zhichun's voice came from outside, reporting that Cai Bo'an, Cai Zhonghe, Lin Feng, Lei Yongxiang, and Bai Yiting were requesting an audience. The awkward atmosphere in the living room was finally broken, and Lu Qingcheng said, "Please let them in."

A short while later, Cai Bo'an led the way inside, followed by Cai Zhonghe and Bai Yiting, with Lin Feng and Lei Yongxiang walking side by side, talking as they went. Cai Bo'an was the first to see Qingfeng and immediately gasped in surprise. Cai Zhonghe was somewhat calmer. Lin Feng and Lei Yongxiang quickly stopped talking and looked over, their faces also turning pale with shock when they saw Qingfeng. Although Bai Yiting was calmer and more composed than them, knowing how to conceal his emotions, his expression was no better.

Cai Bo'an asked in a trembling voice, "Qingfeng, when...when did you come back?"

Qing Jianyue was greatly surprised, thinking to himself: Why is someone as calm as Enforcer Cai so terrified upon seeing Qingfeng? Even Lin Feng, Lei Yongxiang, and Bai Yiting's expressions changed drastically, as if Qingfeng were a ghost. What's going on? Thinking this, he immediately looked at Cai Zhonghe, only to find that Cai Zhonghe was also looking at him. When he looked over, Cai Zhonghe seemed to know what he was thinking and shook his head, just like last night.

"this morning."

As Qingfeng answered, the corners of her lips turned up, and although the smile that bloomed was extremely beautiful, it looked like a devil's smile to Cai Bo'an.

On the contrary, Lu Qingcheng appeared pleased and said with a smile, "Qingfeng came back this time to help me. He is talking to me about how to defeat the Sky Eagle Sect. Everyone, please sit down and listen to Qingfeng's thoughts."

They took their seats. Lin Feng, Lei Yongxiang, and Bai Yiting quickly calmed down, their faces expressionless. Cai Bo'an, however, remained uneasy and uncertain.

Lu Qingcheng smiled and said, "Qingfeng, why don't you tell us?"

“I didn’t originally plan to come back, but after all, I came from Lu Family Fortress. How could I stand idly by when Lu Family Fortress is in danger?” Qingfeng said with a serious and solemn expression. “Actually, I don’t have any good ideas to help my cousin defeat the Sky Eagle Sect. I’m here to deliver a message. I have obtained an important piece of information.”

"What important news?" Cai Bo'an asked.

Qingfeng stared at him. "Kang Boying, the master of Fengyue Manor, has a sworn brother named Feng Piaoxiang. Do you know him?"

Cai Bo'an nodded. Lin Feng and Lei Yongxiang frowned. Bai Yiting also straightened his back and listened attentively. He mentioned Fengyue Manor, so what he was going to say next would inevitably be related to Fengyue Manor.

“Li Ying has a younger sister named Li Hongxiu, who is very beautiful,” Qingfeng said.

"You're not trying to tell us that Feng Piaoxiang is infatuated with Li Ying's sister, are you?" Cai Zhonghe interjected.

"Feng Piaoxiang has already married Li Hongxiu." Qingfeng's tone was full of certainty.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly.

"This is terrible. If the Sky Eagle Sect allies with Wind and Moon Manor, the threat to our fortress will be enormous," Lei Yongxiang exclaimed.

"What's going on at Tianlong Fortress?"

Bai Yiting's question wasn't without reason. Li Ying's marriage of his sister to Kang Boying's sworn brother, Feng Piaoxiang, was naturally intended to win over Kang Boying, the lord of Fengyue Manor, through Feng Piaoxiang. Kang Boying, in turn, was the son-in-law of Long Da, the lord of Tianlong Fortress, and Long Da's most prized disciple. In other words, Fengyue Manor and Tianlong Fortress were essentially one entity.

Qingfeng said, "As far as I know, Li Ying met Long Fengming, the young master of Tianlong Fortress, through Kang Boying, and they became very close, calling each other brothers."

Lu Qingcheng's imposing body suddenly trembled violently. Bai Yiting gasped, and Cai Bo'an, Lin Feng, Lei Yongxiang, and Cai Zhonghe's expressions turned even more grim.
