Kiyomi Tsuki and His Fox

Chapter 195

The more he acted this way, the more uneasy Qing Jianyue felt. "Alright, I admit I wasn't entirely honest with you. Madam Long liked me a lot back then, and I was indeed somewhat interested. But I didn't know Young Master Long at all. And now, needless to say, I love you, and in this life, I will only love you."

"Do you really only love me?"

Lu Qingcheng's smile was sweeter than honey.

"I'd be a dog if I lied to you."

Kiyomi Tsuki raised his hand in assurance, almost barking a few times.

Lu Qingcheng smiled and said, "Kiss me."

"Huh?" Kiyomi Tsuki looked dumbfounded.

Lu Qingcheng's slender fingers traced his long, graceful shin and rounded earlobe, teasing him in a sexy tone, "Baby, if you don't want me to be angry, kiss me."

Kiyomi Tsuki blushed deeply, "That's all I think about all day."

Despite her complaints, Qing Jianyue still kissed him first. After the kiss, Lu Qingcheng smiled and personally tied the jade pendant to his belt.

Kiyomi Tsuki was still uneasy and asked again to confirm, "Are you really not angry anymore?"

"Silly boy, don't say that Miss Lijiang didn't say anything. Even if she did, how could I not believe you? I gave you the jade pendant because jade can ward off evil and bring good fortune. I hope it can protect you and keep you safe and sound."

After all that, it turned out he was the only one enthusiastically involved. Qing Jianyue angrily punched him on the shoulder, "Hey, you dare to mess with me?"

As if oblivious to the pain, Lu Qingcheng tightened her arms and hugged him tightly, burying her face in his neck. She took a deep breath, and the light fragrance filled her nostrils, as if a warm current instantly flowed through her body. Her agitated mood was strangely restored to tranquility and peace, her fatigue disappeared, and her body was filled with a continuous stream of strength.

"Promise me you'll be safe and sound."

Kiyoshi was both amused and exasperated. In this situation, even if she wanted to get angry, she couldn't. "Don't worry, you know I was born in the Year of the Cat. Cats have nine lives, don't they? People call me the Nine-Lives Cat. That's Kiyoshi, you rascal."

Lu Qingcheng chuckled, resting her forehead against his, her gaze lingering on him with deep affection. Qing Jianyue couldn't help but smile, his face beaming with joy. Even a fortune couldn't buy the happiness and joy he felt at this moment.

However, this moment of warmth was quickly interrupted. Voices came from outside, and Qingfeng helped Lijiang and Cai Zhonghe in. After exchanging pleasantries, they quickly got down to business.

"What I just received is both good news and bad news for the Lord of the Fortress and Young Master Jianyue."

Lu Qingcheng and Qing Jianyue remained silent, listening intently.

“Li Tieying is dead.” Cai Zhonghe said unhurriedly, “This news of his death was suppressed by Li Ying for two months before it was announced.”

Kiyomi Tsuki was stunned.

Lu Qingcheng asked, "How did you die?"

Cai Zhonghe said disdainfully, "It is said that he was poisoned, by a concubine that Li Hong gave to Li Tieying. However, Li Hong was not by Li Tieying's side when he died; he was kept in the dark by Li Ying. Li Ying falsely conveyed Li Tieying's orders and, on the pretext of patricide, legitimately eliminated Li Hong. Afterward, Li Ying simply announced to the outside world that Li Tieying was seriously ill and unable to receive guests."

Qing Jianyue asked in confusion, "Since Li Hong has been eliminated and Li Tieying is dead, he can rightfully take over the Sky Eagle Sect. Why keep it a secret from the outside world?"

Cai Zhonghe smiled faintly and said, "Although Li Tieying has committed countless evil deeds, he has a confidant who is priceless. This man is Zhou Mi, who manages all of the Heavenly Eagle Sect's businesses. Li Ying has tried to win him over many times but to no avail. And this man is none other than Li Lin's uncle. It is said that among Li Tieying's three sons, although he dislikes Li Lin the most, he also likes Li Lin the most. He has always been considering passing the position of sect leader to Li Lin. If Li Ying rashly takes over the position of sect leader, it will inevitably arouse Zhou Mi's suspicion. Of course, what he fears even more is that it will alarm Li Lin."

Qing Jian Yue's face was expressionless, and he couldn't utter a single word. He felt neither joy, anger, nor worry, as if he were listening to someone insignificant. Everyone was watching him, and Lu Qing Cheng reached out and took his hand. Qing Jian Yue trembled, and a faint smile appeared on his face, but it was tinged with an indescribable sorrow.

"He died. He died a good death. He died as retribution."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingcheng gripped his hand even tighter.

Qingjian Yue chuckled twice. "I'm fine, I'm actually quite happy. I don't have to kill him with my own hands, so my hands won't be stained with that villain's blood, and I won't have to worry about getting myself dirty. Alright, Lijiang, did you bring me any news?"

Lijiang scoffed, "What news? Maybe I'm just here to laugh at you."

“You wouldn’t,” Qingjian Yue said with a smile. “You like to tease me with your words, but you’re actually good to me.”

"Pah, stop with the sweet talk." Lijiang said in a seductive voice, "May I ask how Young Master Jianyue knew I love stinky tofu?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingcheng asked in surprise, "What stinky tofu?"

Qingfeng and Cai Zhonghe laughed.

Kiyomi Tsuki smiled, as if the sadness in her heart had been blown away by the wind. "Qingfeng asked you? What did you say?"

Lijiang glanced at Qingfeng, her lips exhaling a fragrant breath, her eyes alluring as she said, "I told him that my favorite tofu is him. But he's not smelly at all; it's the one next to Young Master Jianyue who smells bad."

Qingjian Yue's face flushed red. "Is it because I called your Qingfeng a piece of stinky tofu that you hold a grudge over this? You're heartless. Fine, I'm stinky tofu, okay? Fine, tell me your good news now."

Lijiang straightened her face and said, "Jianyue, this news is not good. You'd better be prepared. It's about your younger sister."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingcheng, Qingfeng, and Cai Zhonghe looked at Qing Jianyue with some nervousness. Qing Jianyue, however, remained expressionless, staring blankly at Lijiang.

“The Miss Zhao Xing in the Sky Eagle Sect, the wife Luo Xiang married, is not your real sister.” Li Jiang revealed a gentle smile. “Although it’s not good news, it’s still a good thing no matter what.”

Qingjian Yue frowned slightly. "That's fake. Where is the real Xing'er?"

“Our people investigated for a long time before they found out. More than ten years ago, after your family had that accident, your younger sister kept crying and looking for you. No, no, Madam Luo couldn’t comfort her no matter what she did. Later, your younger sister was so heartbroken that she fell seriously ill and almost died.”

Upon hearing this, Qing Jianyue burst into tears. Lu Qingcheng immediately reached out and hugged him.

Lijiang continued, "Our people even found the doctor who treated your sister back then. The doctor said that the serious illness caused your sister to forget many things, probably due to excessive stimulation. In order for your sister to recover, Luo Buqun sent her to the countryside to be cared for by an elderly couple. Four years ago, because of your appearance, Luo Buqun was terrified. In order to kill you, he found the fake Zhao Xing to impersonate your sister and used her to lure you."

Kiyomi Tsuki coldly asked, "Where is my sister?"

Lijiang remained silent.

Lu Qingcheng, Qingfeng, and Cai Zhonghe were all looking at her.

Kiyomi Tsuki asked again, "Where is my sister?"

Lijiang said softly, "She's missing."
