The Moon In Darkness
Ch.51 "Let's start!"

Still on the same day, the day An who should have only checked the location where he used his new technique, which led to a warm lunch with his beloved brothers.

"Youyo. I'll throw up if you force me to eat again." An said helplessly by thrusting a plate containing half the bread eaten.

"huh, seriously? you just ate two plates? how can you be strong if your appetite is so small?" Jiazhen then extended her hand to take the remaining bread that An had not spent.

you are the one who b*bi.' An growled that only he could convey through the smile of his feet.

Chyou nodded his head in agreement with the words said by Jiazhen, but he did not mind and allowed An to rest his stomach.

"oh, brother Lian, what about the shopping? we're here for that, aren't we?" cut Mingmei off in the chat.

"don't do it, tomorrow." forbid Jiazhen who has spent five dishes in a row.

"what?! why why.. " Mingmei, who involuntarily made a loud noise at the beginning, immediately shut her mouth tightly, was afraid that Jiazhen would not accept her and be angry with her.

"it's almost afternoon, a lot of bad people are hanging around at this hour, you better go next time" explained the man without any visible emotions peaking.

eh? brother is not angry, but usually he is angry if someone raises the voice in front of him.' Mingmei spontaneously glanced at An who was fighting with Jiazhen, they looked familiar, without any barrier made by the two.

"himself." murmured Mingmei quietly but could still be heard by Chyou, aware that if his first brother heard that remark, he immediately turned his gaze and became a wave.

"if so, let's just go home, Brother Lian! after all, Jiazhen's sister was right, it's too late for shopping."

but this is only 3 o'clock?' seeing Mingmei's uncomfortable attitude, An had no choice but to obey and go home.

Before coming out of the tent, he turned to Chyou who was still waiting for his departure, "Youyo, aren't you coming home?" tanya An made sure.

can be bad if he and his troops are still on guard here, I will not be able to start it.' worried An who can not be hidden in his face.

"i'll be on guard here, if only the owner of the technique returns, or something is worrying." explained Chyou as he rubbed An's head slowly.

how awful! what am I supposed to do?! ' An kept racking his brains, trying to keep Chyou out of the city tonight.

"ah. pity, when I had wanted to invite Brother to have tea together.." murmured An lethargic, he then glanced at Chyou to see what reaction he got, he said, and the result was in line with what he expected.

"you want to take me for tea? very tumben." quipped Chyou as if he was doubting An's words.

ah shit! at least if his troops are here, Chyou should be at home!' resolute An who was determined for himself.

"it's the case, but since you don't want to, I'll take Jiazhen's sister." An then turned around and left Chyou without waiting for his answer.

"hey, who says I don't want to?" Chyou hurriedly pulled An's arm.

"you're busy, right? that means you don't want to!" babble An is upset.

"i'm busy, but I'm not that busy to miss the tea party that my beloved sister held. I can continue this investigation after having tea with you." Chyou then gave orders to the Yong knights to patrol while he came home and rested himself.

A flabbergasted, is it that easy to persuade? just by drinking tea?'

Chyou then invited An to go home, he seemed impatient to enjoy his free time drinking tea with the girl.

well, good thing, I'll give him a little poison and sleeping pills so he doesn't come back here.' An triumphant smile, thinking that he would do his plan smoothly without any hindrance, but.is it really without hindrance?

The man looked at An who was happily heading towards the horse carriage, he smiled faintly and glanced at the Yong Knight, "relax the guard around the emperor statue." he whispered.

The knight was stunned and rushed to get close to the leader, "but Chairman! if so, that person will easily return and we don't know what he wants to do right?!"

"yes, isn't that the main goal? did you forget? if you want to catch fish, it must be with tempting bait."

The Yong Knight could only sigh harshly, he looked pityfully at his chairman, "Chairman.it's not the usual way that you wear, I know that. Besides, you have to remember that the guy you thought was the sister, wasn't ad-"

Unable to finish his words, a water knife flew towards him quickly, barely. Thankfully, it did not hit the man's face.

"it seems you're tired, forgetting that I'm someone you don't like to argue with." Chyou smiled, yet that smile was the most terrifying one he had ever seen.

"..well, forgive me, Chairman." said the Yong Knight stutteringly, painted with fear on his face.

Chyou left the tent with a riled face, the soldiers who saw that suddenly lowered their heads.

The dense aura he let out grew increasingly fading. The dark aura disappeared when he reached the carriage and saw his three brothers joking together.

it's okay, even if it's just physical, everything will be fine.I'll show him, if I can do it.' Chyou's mind is expressionless, no one knew what the man was thinking right now.

They then returned to Wu's residence, due to the traffic jam that occurred along the way, they only arrived in the afternoon.

Arum and several other servants welcomed their arrival and went to their respective pavilions, there was no dinner together today, as the family leader was having a banquet at the emperor's palace.

"banquet huh? is it just grandma going there?" ask An when he gets to the pavilion.

it seems that in summary I know what they are talking about, it must be that beautiful crystal~' Inner An is proud.

"no Miss, first mistress, fourth mistress and Miss Qiongli went along with him."

Arum was silent for a moment, of course he was silent, an elderly grandfather who was elderly would have a little trouble preparing a tea party noble lady.

"how? please yes." An gave a mischievous smile at her and passed towards the room, without hearing the reply from Arum.

Arriving in the room, he headed under the bed and took a black bag decorated with golden lotus flowers, "forgive me Chyou, but you must not destroy my plan. I've taken out a lot of stuff to persuade the old man, "groaning.

"if true, the fox would have already started working on his task to cast some explosive spells in the tent area. Just thinking about it makes me sick, especially when I remember if one of the high nobles was behind it." An continued muttering then prepared to be ready to clean up before the tea party began.

Moments later, he had finished cleaning himself and was surprised that Arum had also finished preparing his tea party.

"i've prepared what I can Miss, sorry if anything doesn't match your expectations" the girl said softly as she bowed.

"hm, good. Then I'll make the tea, this should be a memorable party for my brother. Oh yes, if Brother Chyou gets there can you and all the servants leave?" I took the cup and brought it to the kitchen.

"i don't like to be disturbed" he continued in a whisper.

Arriving in the kitchen, An made tea with a glass of tea mixed with his sleeping pills, "this is just a little. anyway he should thank me because I changed my mind." muttered An while stirring his tea.

"who should thank you?" ask someone from behind.

The tray containing the cup he was holding almost fell down due to his surprised cusp, "H-Hey! can you make a sound if you walk?!" yelled An at Chyou who was standing on the doorstep, the man looked very neat in his all-white formal attire.

"want to help? looks like the tray will fall if you hold it." Chyou approached and intended to take the tray on An.

Spontaneously the girl immediately pulled the tray containing tea while glancing slowly at the man in front of her, "me! you're a guest here, guests should be treated like kings, right Youyo?" say An sweetly.

it's bad if the drug powder is still visible.' no one knows if An's heart is currently beating very fast, almost released made.

Chyou just smiled and let An to walk first, they then sat down at the living room table, right where Arum had prepared some dessert and floral scent candles.

"i thought you were just taking me out for tea, it was quite energy-intensive." praised Chyou as he looked at the flower arrangements and antique ornaments there.

"sure, you should thank me for this." An overjoyed smile, he also started to eat a little pastry so that the atmosphere became a little open.

"right, thank you my sweet sister."

An was stunned to hear that sentence.

wh why? though it's an ordinary sentence, but why.. I don't like to hear it?' ask the girl in her little heart.

"hey. I have a confession." Chyou folded his arms and fixed his sitting position.

"do you know? the day you disappeared, was the day I fought against the traitors. In a place where I could only see blood as well as corpses, I could not remember the pleasant thing when I slashed all those who were branded criminals," Chyou lifted his face, saying, there were wrinkles on his forehead that he could not cover.

"and do you know what I imagined when I was in that horrible place? I remember you." continued Chyou who began to lift the teacup and sip it slowly.

An was just silent, he did not reply for a long time, "why?"

why are you telling me this? to someone who isn't your sister?'

"could you? I don't know either.. Maybe because.. You're the only one who wants to get close to me? the few days before I was sent to the battlefield, was the day my father died, "the man's gaze began to be glared, yet he was still able to maintain his consciousness.

"he died while hunting with me. The day that everyone blamed me, even my own mother, hahaha.." A stiff and sore laugh, a wound that initially disappeared as if it appeared and spread back throughout the man's body.

"because of that, the day you disappeared became closed. As if someone was using father's death to shut down everything about your investigation," Chyou began to rub his eyes, he felt an overwhelming sense of drowsiness.

"that's sorry.. Lian.. for having involved you into such a complicated family matter, I don't even want to be the leader of the family, I just. want to be with you.." after finishing the sentence, I'm sure you're, the man fell and fell asleep comfortably on the living room sofa.

"you're talking like you're seeing 'Lian', but it's okay, there's no need to apologize to me. Because in a moment I'm gonna take this family away from you." muttered An while enveloping the sleeping Chyou.

The girl glanced at the clock that indicated nine o'clock exactly, "there's still two more hours, I'd better get ready and give the old man a second plan."

An then passes to his room, leaving Chyou who is being washed away in a dream that is.beautiful?

"good night, brother."
