Kiyomi Tsuki and His Fox

Chapter 173

"How could such an ordinary girl be like this?" Liu Xicheng blurted out, "Isn't that incredibly disappointing?"

Lijiang said angrily, "Yunya, what are you waiting for?"

"Huh? Oh."

Still unable to adjust to her new identity, Little Sparrow—no, He Yunya—after hearing Lijiang's words, slowly reached out and peeled off the human skin mask from her face. A beautiful face, strikingly similar to Lijiang's, appeared in the light. Everyone's mouths gaped open in unison. Good heavens! They looked so alike! No wonder Lijiang had switched identities with the real He Yunya. Aside from their completely different demeanor, their appearances were practically identical. Standing together, an outsider would have mistaken them for betrothed sisters.

Zhou Jie felt as if he had been stabbed hard in the buttocks with an awl. He jumped up and pointed his trembling finger at He Yunya, exclaiming with ecstasy, "You, you, you are the mysterious daffodil!"

Lijiang scoffed, "You've finally recognized the right person. Humph, you can't even tell the difference between the women you like. You're either an idiot or an unreliable guy."

Zhou Jie was both surprised and anxious, and cried out, "That night at the ranch, it was only a fleeting glance that made my brother mistake me for someone else."

A delicate blush rose to He Yunya's pretty face.

Liu Xicheng laughed heartily, "One Miss He left, and another Miss He has come. Zhiqiang, that kid is unreliable, but I'm different. Marry your sister to me."

Kiyoshi said coldly, "Little Sparrow, a lecherous man and someone who doesn't recognize you are equally unreliable."

He Yunya smiled gently and shyly, her cherry lips pursed.

He Zhiqiang's face broke into a wide grin. He stretched out his hand and grabbed his sister's hand, chuckling, "Sister, this is my sister. She's so well-behaved, cute, beautiful, and gentle. Lijiang doesn't resemble a sister at all!"

Lijiang retorted angrily, "What? I don't look like it, what do I look like?"

Kiyomi Tsuki said, "A vixen."

Lijiang immediately forgot her anger and said with great joy, "That's right, that's right, I'm as beautiful as an angel, how can you compare to me? My Qingfeng is so infatuated with me that he's completely obsessed."

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched in unison.

"Let's get back to the point." Cai Bo'an said loudly, "Miss Lijiang, you are the beloved disciple of the White-Clad Holy Cult's Grand Witch, and you were also entrusted by the Old Master to come to this castle. So, the huge information network supporting you should be the White-Clad Holy Cult, right?"

Lijiang said, "Yes. At the request of the Great Witch and the Holy Mother, the Holy Father agreed to provide me with information in secret. However, the condition is that it cannot harm the interests of Tianlong Fortress, Fengyue Manor, and the White-Clad Holy Cult."

"Is this why the White-Robed Holy Cult is blocking information?" Cai Zhonghe asked.

Lijiang said, "I think so."

Qingfeng snorted, "It seems that the old hag's plot to assassinate Madam Long is indeed true. Chief Enforcer, send people to supervise Yixin Garden."

Cai Bo'an nodded slightly, "Until the Lord of the Fortress arrives, this is the only way."

Doubts drifted through Kiyomizuki's eyes.

"What should we do about Xu Lan?" Lin Feng asked.

Chapter Sixty-Four: Fortune and Misfortune Are Unpredictable (Part 5)

Thinking of Xu Lan, Qing Jian Yue suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and even his head began to throb. He raised his hand to pound his head, but a pair of delicate, white hands reached out and removed his hand, then pressed lightly but firmly on his temples. Qing Jian Yue sighed comfortably and unconsciously closed his eyes.

Xiaoqian said softly, "Young master, are you tired? Would you like to go back to your room and lie down for a while?"

Qing Jianyue hummed in agreement, and then heard Cai Bo'an say, "Xu Lan is inextricably linked to the old lady's plot to assassinate Madam Long. Runmin, take a few brothers with you immediately..." Upon hearing this, Qing Jianyue's mind stirred, and she suddenly let out a big yawn, slapping her mouth exaggeratedly with her hand.

"Jianyue, you must be exhausted?" Cai Zhonghe walked over and said gently and kindly, "Go back to your room and get some rest. The Great Lord, my elder brother, and we are here, so you don't need to worry."

Kiyomi Tsuki smiled with narrowed eyes and said loudly, "Okay, I'll go back to my room and take a nap."

Lijiang held a tray in her left hand and handed a cup of fragrant tea to Qingfeng with her right, while teasing Qingjian Yue, "You look so sleepy, just like a pretty and cute little baby."

Kiyomi Tsuki immediately widened her eyes, angrily waving her fists and yelling, "You hateful vixen!"

Qingfeng laughed so hard he spat out his tea.

Cai Zhonghe smiled as well, when suddenly he felt a gaze upon him. His gaze swept over Xiaoqian's beautiful, lotus-like face, her clear, bright eyes fixed on him with a sorrowful look. Cai Zhonghe felt a sudden tremor in his heart. At that moment, Xiaoqian turned and hurriedly followed Qing Jianyue away. Watching Xiaoqian's figure recede into the distance, Cai Zhonghe felt a sudden, indescribable sense of loss.

Cai Zhonghe shook his head and went back to sit down. He Yunya handed him some fragrant tea. "Second Master, have a cup of tea." That address of "Second Master" stirred something deep within him, as if a strange hand had been touching it.

"Don't be afraid, Second Master, I will protect you. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

A warm embrace that shielded me from the wind and snow, and a gentle voice that comforted me… Cai Zhonghe suddenly chuckled: What’s wrong with me? Why am I thinking about such nonsense at a time like this?

A series of hurried footsteps sounded, and Xiaoqian rushed in, flustered. Cai Zhonghe suddenly stood up, startling everyone. He quickly went to Xiaoqian and helped her up, asking, "What's wrong?"

Xiaoqian's eyes, as clear as autumn water, were brimming with tears. Her red lips trembled violently with extreme panic. She clutched Cai Zhonghe's sleeve tightly, her lotus-like face turning even whiter than a pear blossom.

Seeing her like this, everyone suddenly felt a tightness in their chests, as if a huge pile of weeds were stuffed inside, or as if they were being shoved into a large sack full of stones, making it almost impossible to breathe.

What happened? Could it be Mitsuki? They wondered.

Cai Zhonghe held her shoulders and comforted her, "Don't panic, calm down. What happened? Tell me."

"Young master, young master, he has suddenly disappeared."

After struggling to say those words, Xiaoqian burst into tears.

What?

Everyone was horrified.

"Damn it."

Qingfeng cursed and rushed out the door like a gust of wind. Behind her were Lijiang, He Yunya, Cai Zhonghe supporting Xiaoqian, and Xiaowuya at the very back.

They rushed into the courtyard and went straight to the bedroom. The bedroom door was wide open, and the bed inside was empty, but the windows were tightly closed. After searching separately, they quickly gathered back into the bedroom.
