The Moon In Darkness
Ch.50 Research

"hey. can you stop laughing now?" said An while staring at the flat Mingmei who was still chuckling.

"ha... My stomach hurts.. I wonder brother, how can you get that much courage? it's amazing!" he was happy, he leaned back and looked out the window.

A very beautiful and peaceful urban landscape, now the Wu family's horse-drawn carriage traverses the urban streets with sharp gazes and curiosity from all directions.

Everyone stared at the walking carriage, asking each of them "who's in it?"

"you can do that if you want, after all there is no harm in a nephew hugging his own aunt." An said with a small laugh, they continued chatting until the horse carriage came to a sudden halt.

"what's up? has it arrived?" An opened the front train window and asked the coachman.

"i'm sorry, lady, but it looks like the train can't get in now." murmured the coachman, An then glanced at the road ahead, a street full of hundreds of people. I don't know what they saw until they hit the road.

"nothing, we'll walk. You just go home."

"a-what? walkin? on a hot day like this??" timpal Mingmei was reluctant to step foot in the first place.

"yes, then we bring this!" An reached into his bag and took out two robes bearing the gold lotus on his right chest.

"sister, isn't this.." Mingmei hesitantly accepted the robe and glanced at An who was smiling proudly.

"right! it's the main warrior's robe. I borrowed it before we left." An put on the robe and carried his long hair, not forgetting he put a sapphire earring in his ear to dampen the crowd there a little.

"let's go." The girl pulled Mingmei's arm and carried her through the hordes of humans on the streets, they walked quickly, until it was not felt that they had reached where Chyou was conducting an investigation.

An walked with Mingmei behind him, he casually crossed the line for the common man to approach. No one rebuked them, for the robe of the soldier was bearing the golden lotus on their chest.

"sorry, which part are you from? I don't remember asking for additional soldiers in the investigation this time" Yong Ma-Vice-Chairman of the Wu family military said, he is also known as the right-hand man Chyou Wu-a young general of the Empire.

"me? of course from the inside." said An politely, he then opened the hood of his robe and smiled warmly.

"hello Knight Yong, it seems like my brother is conducting a very open investigation, huh?" sindir An subtly, The burly man in front of him observed from top to bottom, until finally subduing his body as a sign of respect.

"sorry for my disrespect for not recognizing you two, Miss Lian and Miss Ming!" he shouted loudly. Whether intentional or not, after that shout all the eyes that originally saw the work of the soldiers now turned to the two girls who were in front of them.

An looked at the Knight in front of him flatly, he walked over and pulled the man's collar to align with his body, "the mistake should not be repeated a second time, do you understand the Yong knight?"

The man who had a wound on his face was stunned, he then nodded and allowed the two ladies to pass by.

"i still don't understand, why does Mr. Chyou insist on assuming that someone else is his dead sister." Yong Ma muttered with an unreadable expression, before he continued his work, before he continued, a past passes by quickly, a dark time that only one sees.

"sister, he must have been on purpose!" mingmei whispered very slowly, afraid that the man would still hear them.

"hm? I think I know him." An pointed at someone with his finger, Mingmei focused her gaze on the girl's fingers and found her beloved being right next to Chyou Wu.

Regardless of An, the girl decided to run there to meet her heart.

While Ming was joking, An stood there listening to something interesting. When he was focused, he grimaced not when a hand touched his little forehead.

"hey, can't you give me a warm greeting?" angrily An on the figure of a man who was sweating in front of him.

"it's warm today, is it still too cold for you?" chyou chuckled, "or do you want me to hug as a welcome sign, Lian?" goda.

A little annoyed, An took a handkerchief in the bag and thrust it on Chyou's sweaty face, "you really stink! you slob!" tease the girl happy.

"what makes my brother, the young General, sweat like this?" reply An who is now teasing Chyou.

"well, there's a bit of shitty mess." Chyou roughly wiped his face and kept An's handkerchief in his pocket.

"not too strong, or can I say 'yet'. I can destroy it with 8 strikes, but ordinary soldiers must gather at least 4 people for the attack simultaneously." Chyou took An closer to one of the crystals, he attacked again eight times and the crystal broke into several chunks, releasing a collection of fire trapped inside.

"maybe the owner of this technique has just learned it, because I'm not sure why the technique that has been discarded long appeared on the surface." continued Chyou slightly muttered in his final sentence.

"so you think it's dangerous?"

the technique thrown out? why?' an Inner recalled if she found the book to be in Wu's residence.

"maybe? I can't say it clearly, because as I said just now, 'this technique is not perfect'. We won't know what will happen if the owner of this technique strengthens him." Chyou explained seriously.

"is there any chance that someone from a distinguished family kept a copy of the technique and accidentally found someone else?" ask An to make sure.

"likely, even so, it's a rare thing. It never even happened, if this technique was in the residence of a noble, then that 'noble' would be hanged for hiding something that the Empire prohibited."

An stunned, he thought for a moment and re-opened his mouth, "but. if this technique 'accidentally' appeared in the residence of a noble, is it possible? like.. Has he been ordered to be there?"

"in this world there are only demons, demons, and spirit beasts, not ghosts." Chyou touched An's forehead because he felt that his sister's words were ridiculous.

"by the way, why are you and Mingmei here?" chyou said on the way to the tent.

"we were going to go shopping together, but our horse-drawn carriage couldn't enter the market because someone was conducting an open investigation" An said without missing a word.

all of you want to see the results of your investigation anyway.' his mind.

"uh..so? I'm sorry, you had lunch? want to have lunch together?" Chyou attempted to change the topic of his conversation.

"no need, I've ma-" An hasn't had time to finish his sentence, a tight hug approaching him when he gets to the tent.

"HI! what's this little brother of mine doing here??" exclaim Jiazhen excited.

"can't you notice your attitude? don't be like a child." Chyou's lips stared intently at Jiazhen.

"yes. why? jen-dral. It's like you can't hold her, so you're jealous, right?" jiazhen sneered still rubbing her chin on An's head.

"sister, can you stop? I'm really embarrassed right now." whispered An, her crimson face even made Jiazhen cling to her.

"he! look how sweet he is! how can you be so weak? I'll protect you if you want!"

what happened to this boy! someone help me!' yelled An in his heart, but somehow he could not release a strong hug from his brother.
