The Moon In Darkness
Ch.40 Dinner (2)

The dining room is luxurious, the number of jars and classic cutlery, as well as the servants are neatly arranged, very characteristic of the nobility in general.

That was the place where the Wu family's first dinner was with one of his new family members. Dinner, which at first went smoothly, suddenly changed when someone opened his voice.

"em.. Brother You, I heard that brother is looking for a new soldier...is that true?" said Qiongli Wu--the biological sister of Jiazhen, who always tried to get Chyou Wu's attention. She is a beautiful girl with reddish hair and sky-blue eyes, but due to her unfavorable nature, he became not too liked by people also respected because it has a high level of chi among students of the academy.

"hm." replied Chyou indifferently to Qiongli, all the families were silent as they already knew the reaction from Chyou Wu.

"can I help? I know a few people in the Academy who seem like they'll impress you!" pinta Qiongli with shining eyes across Chyou's seat.

"Ha.. Qiongli, you know that I didn't take someone from the nobility, right? and to my knowledge, in your Academy there are only conglomerate children." explained Chyou, but with his stubborn nature, Qiongli still tried to get a yes from his brother.

"but brother! despite being nobles, they have no place. So isn't it the same as commoners?" exclaiming the girl did not want to lose, Chyou just glanced at her and immediately threw away his face as if he did not hear.

wow, he said that as if it were normal, did he not feel that some people were staring at him?' an Inner glanced at the few servants who seemed to be leaking out of emotion.

it seems I don't need to act too deeply if I want to get people's sympathy An continued.

"oh yeah, Lian. Don't you have no bodyguards yet? what if you choose a bodyguard that suits you later?" chyou said casually without noticing everyone gaping.

because of hearing things that he should never have heard, An who was originally still fantasizing in his brain, now coughed cough made, "a-what? a bodyguard??" ask An in disbelief.

he wants to curb me to where the hell is shit?!??' amuk An, he really wanted to break down the table and pointed a handsome face next to him, but it is unfortunate he could not do it.

"no need for a brother, besides I don't really like the bodyguard who enters the head 2" said An slowly but made everyone surprised.

"if so, would you like that bodyguard to be a teenager?" ask the third aunt.

"maybe? I don't really understand, what about sister Ming?" lontar An, when it was also everyone started to pay attention to Mingmei-A son of the fourth aunt who had a twin named Meiyin and younger brother of Jia Wu.

"a-what does Brother Lian mean? I don't understand it at all." replied the curly-haired girl.

"ah.. huh? whereas this afternoon I saw you seem to get along with one of Youyo's older soldiers, so I thought you could help me to find a young bodyguard" An said to be naive, he plainly asked everyone to whisper to Mingmei.

"heard what Miss Lian said? it seems that Miss Ming has not cut off the dark relationship with her lover."

"well, he's a stubborn man, just look at his face so red."

"haha, yes, the fruit does not fall far from the tree."

The whispers of the servants were slow, although the slow sounds of all the sentences were clear in An's ear and it made him very satisfied. Seeing the sign of commotion, the head of the Wu family finally intervened to change the subject.

"alright for Lian's bodyguard, talk about it later, do you understand Chyou?" granny firmly told Chyou, the man just sighed and nodded his head.

"in the immediate future a five-family match will be held, I hope you all can bring this family name back" the grandmother told her grandchildren, he then looked at Lian and spoke very slowly as if he were sending a telepathy to An, "i wish a lot to you, Lian."

An's eyebrows jerked together, he grinned and muttered, "of course, grandma."

look at this old woman, how dare she challenge me?' geram An.

Dinner resumed, and ended with no other major incident. The head of the Wu family left first due to an important guest, followed by his uncles and aunts as well as other members.

Before returning, An could feel the irritated look from Qiongli and the curious gaze from Mingmei, "who will come first huh?" whispered.

"ah! enough, I don't need a bodyguard!" snapped An while scratching his head that does not itch.

"then you must have, all young ladies need at least a bodyguard." Chyou told An.

"i already have Arum, she's enough to be my bodyguard and my lady, right?" Said An release the accessories in his hair, now jet black hair An mixed with moonlight, very shining and beautiful.

Chyou could not stop staring at An who was busy nagging in front of him, "ah. shit." he muttered with reddened ears.

"stop resisting if you want me to teach you to use this." Chyou opened his palm and saw a golden lotus symbol there.

"cheating basics! you promised to teach me!" An hit Chyou's arm pissed off. Before long, An's body floated in the air and his eyes were fixed directly on Chyou Wu.

"so?" the man's taunts were triumphant, and An was forced to agree to it but he put forward a condition, "good good! but I'll choose it myself."

"of course, you'll be in the pick of new soldiers next week my sister" said Chyou satisfied.

speaking of soldiers, it seems I already have a knight instead.' An recalled the two snot boys he found a few weeks ago.

The two of them continued walking together, An unceremoniously asked directly for the entire plan of the Wu residence even asking to see the dark history even their family lineage, At first An thought that Chyou would not give the information to An, but it turned out to be the opposite of what he imagined.

"i can only give this to you, read it to yourself. If you want to see some family martial arts techniques, just look at the library later. "exclaimed Chyou then pulled out a few books easily from his palm.

"wahs.. "

With his body still floating in the air, An read almost half the book quickly and thoroughly, whether it was a curse or luck, he said, he can memorize all the contents of the book in just one look with dim moonlight.

They finally reach the pavilion and are greeted by Arum along with several servants sent by Chyou to accompany An, the girl then rushes to bring all her books to the room and closes the door of the meeting.

"astaga... You have an unruly sister huh?" sindir Arum seraya ruffled waist.

"hush, just take care of him. If I see her skin being scratched just a little, I will punish you in the judgment room." said Chyou coldly, he then left from there as if disappearing with the wind.

"basics sucks, I'm just kidding. After all, his other sister would still be a lot." complained Arum regardless of the other servant who looked at him without a sound.

"why are you guys quiet? quickly clean up this place! the Fourth Miss will sleep for a while longer, lest her sleep be disturbed just because of a little servant like you!" arum told all the servants, they swiftly followed orders because they did not want to get into trouble.
