Kiyomi Tsuki and His Fox

Chapter 197

Qing Jianyue looked at Long Fengming. He needed Long Fengming's support; only Long Fengming could change Lu Qingcheng's mind. As if he knew this, Long Fengming smiled gently at him, making Qing Jianyue's heart skip a beat and his face flush.

"A good plan." Long Fengming said calmly. "What does Lord Lu think?"

Lu Qingcheng frowned, looking displeased, and remained silent for a long time. Qing Jianyue became nervous and quietly tugged at his sleeve. Lu Qingcheng glared at him, his eyes filled with reproach and anger. Qing Jianyue immediately put on a pitiful puppy-like expression. Lu Qingcheng sighed, "What does Qingfeng think?"

Lu Qingfeng looked at Qing Jianyue, who was glaring at him. He smiled and said seriously, "I think this plan is brilliant."

Lu Qingcheng asked again, "Brother Bo'an? Brother Yiting? Zhonghe?"

Cai Bo'an said, "Although it is somewhat dangerous, it is not impossible."

Bai Yiting smiled and said, "I believe this plan is feasible."

Cai Zhonghe hesitated for a moment, then immediately summoned Qing Jianyue and gave her a murderous glare. Cai Zhonghe smiled bitterly and said, "Although this plan is brilliant, we should still reconsider. Revenge is a minor matter; the young master's safety is the most important."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Qing Jianyue said anxiously, "With Young Master Long protecting me, I will be fine."

Lu Qingcheng reached out and gently grasped his hand. "It's not that I don't trust Young Master Long. If it were the old you, I certainly wouldn't have said a word. How can I not worry about you being so impetuous now?"

Such thoughtful words were warmer than a small heater in one's arms on a cold winter's day. Kiyomi Tsuki was both happy and touched, and tears welled up in her eyes. "I won't do anything reckless. I just, I just don't want to miss this opportunity."

Lu Qingcheng gripped his hand tighter, nodded, and said, "Let's discuss it together; it's always better to be thorough."

Kiyomi Tsuki was overjoyed, knowing that he had agreed.

Chapter Seventy-Four: Deception and Tricks

As the rooster crowed, the sun rose, its red light bathing the earth. Suddenly, the sound of hooves thundered, shattering the tranquility of Zhao Family Village. Soon, about four groups of people entered the village, instantly creating a bustling atmosphere. Leading them was a man nearing thirty, his imposing figure and extraordinary presence accentuated by his deep crimson warrior robe and black cloak.

"Hahaha……"

Amidst the laughter, a dozen or so people poured out of the gate. The one in the lead, with a hooked nose and hawk-like eyes, was none other than Li Ying. He bowed respectfully and laughed as if singing, "Lord Kang, congratulations on your triumphant return!"

The world-renowned Fengyue Sword stood majestically on the ground. Kang Boying held the hilt with both hands, his chiseled, sharply defined face calmly facing Li Ying, Zhao Wuyang, and the others. His black jade eyes shone with a resolute, calm, confident, and wise light.

"Master Li, may I ask where your sect's troops have gone?"

Li Ying's face darkened. "Master Kang, Buqun and Wu Yang have already informed me that they were ambushed by Lu Family Fort and failed to surround and annihilate the enemy in time."

A smug, arrogant smile flashed across Kang Boying's face, as if he saw through everything. Li Ying was shocked, and even those surrounding him paled.

"Senior Brother."

Shouts came from afar. They looked and saw Long Fengxiang leading Ling Lei, the second lord of Tianlong Fortress, Guan Shanyue, and dozens of other brothers.

Long Fengxiang was only a few months younger than Long Fengming, and he resembled the most beautiful and proud dragon, every muscle brimming with power. His perfectly agile physique made it seem as if he were about to soar into the sky and command the wind and rain at any moment.

He had a handsome face, and his jet-black hair accentuated his fair and rosy skin. But what was most striking about him was his smile and his eyes. His carefree smile was both charming and alluring, yet also possessed the pride and untamed wildness of a dragon. His fiery, dazzling eyes seemed both affectionate and indifferent, enough to ignite a strong desire in any woman to tame him.

"I heard that my elder brother captured Kiyomi Tsuki. Is that true?"

Li Ying suddenly came to life again, shouting with great enthusiasm, "Brother Long Er, you've come back just in time. This time, Feng Ming has captured Qing Jianyue alive. Let's see how long Lu Qingcheng can resist. We're sure to win."

"Ha, great! I've been wanting to see what Kiyomi Tsuki looks like for ages!"

With his hands on his hips, Long Fengxiang looked just like a handsome and playful little white dragon soaring through the air.

"Let's go inside and talk."

With a single sentence from Kang Boying, they were all silenced. Li Ying humbly stepped aside to let them in, Kang Boying strode ahead, Long Fengxiang followed behind, and Ling Lei and Guan Shanyue politely invited Guo Gang and his wife inside first, followed by them and their subordinates.

In the spacious living room, maids held hot tea and waited expectantly. There were two seats side by side at the head of the table. Kang Boying sat down in the seat on the left, and a maid hurriedly stepped forward with tea.

"Master Kang, please have some tea."

Kang Boying's close attendants stopped her, waving her away. At that moment, soldiers from Tianlong Fort brought hot tea as a gesture of respect. Kang Boying's attendants accepted the tea and offered it to her, only then taking a sip. Li Ying, Zhao Wuyang, and their subordinates sat on the left, while Long Fengxiang and his subordinates from Tianlong Fort and Fengyue Manor sat on the right. A maidservant served tea to Long Fengxiang, but his personal attendants similarly refused, showing great caution. While drinking his tea, Long Fengxiang observed Li Ying's group. Li Ying noticed this and rose with a smile.

“Brother Fengxiang, you don’t know him yet?” Li Ying pointed to a middle-aged man who looked refined and elegant, dressed in a scholar’s robe, and resembled a learned scholar. “This is Mr. Luo.”

Long Fengxiang said with a half-smile, half-sarcasm, in a strange voice, "You're that...that Mr. Luo? I've heard so much about you, haha, I've heard so much about you."

Luo Buqun naturally sensed the barb in his words, but even so, he still smiled broadly and said, "Second Young Master, you're too kind."

Li Ying then pointed to a short, stocky man standing there like a tree stump and laughed, "This is Master Zhao of Zhao Family Village."

Long Fengxiang said with a grin, "Zhao Wuyang."

Zhao Wuyang immediately broke into a wide smile, "Second Young Master is not mistaken, I am indeed Zhao Wuyang."

"Hey, everyone's here, one by one." Long Fengxiang laughed nonchalantly. "Good, very good." Suddenly noticing the tall and imposing man sitting beside Luo Buqun, he was taken aback and said, "What a presence. Leader Li, may I ask how this gentleman is addressed?"

Li Ying said happily, "This is Mr. Lu Baoquan."

Long Fengxiang nodded and said, "You are Lu Baoquan, the one who pretended to be dead to deceive Lu Family Fort."

Lu Baoquan's expression was strange; it was hard to tell whether he should be angry or laughing.

Next up are Luo Xiang and Lu Zhi. Luo Xiang resembles his father quite a bit, with delicate features and a good physique, making him very popular with women. Lu Zhi has the same tall stature as his father and the same beautiful features as his mother; standing together with Luo Xiang, they are a truly handsome pair.

Someone outside announced, "The young master has arrived."

Long Fengming walked in. At this moment, everyone except Kang Boying stood up and greeted him with smiles. Long Fengming smiled and nodded gracefully, then bowed to Kang Boying, saying, "Senior Brother."

"Sit down, Fengming." Kang Boying looked at him gently, then his tone turned cold, "How is Feng Piaoxiang?"
