My sister is Luna

"Distinguished guests, please wait a moment."

After the host finished speaking, he left the room, leaving only Cain and the other two behind. It seemed they were going to find Gongsun Li and Yang Yuhuan.

"This room is truly exquisite and elegant," Shangguan Wan'er remarked, looking around.

This is an antique wooden room with only a round wooden table and a few chairs. When the light of the sunset shines through the window, it creates a unique sense of beauty and makes people feel relaxed.

"Hmm, it's alright." Cain said absentmindedly. He wished they served dinner here; he was a bit hungry after exercising for so long.

"Why do you look so reluctant? I thought you would be very happy, after all, you would be accompanied by two beauties."

“No, I’ve never thought that way,” Cain said.

As they were talking, two slender and beautiful women gracefully approached.

What are you doing here, Tiger?

Gongsun Li spotted Pei Qinhu looking around immediately, and was somewhat surprised. After the champion was decided, she went backstage to prepare for the reception, but she didn't expect Pei Qinhu to come along as well.

"It's all thanks to Cain." Pei Qinhu laughed heartily.

"Excuse me, I was catching up with a friend. Lord Cain, I am Gongsun Li." Gongsun Li bowed to Cain.

"I am Yang Yuhuan." Yang Yuhuan also bowed gracefully.

"Hello."

"Hello, Gongsun Li, I am Shangguan Zhao." Shangguan Wan'er smiled and nodded to Gongsun Li in a friendly manner.

"Oh, you're Shangguan Zhao?! Ah, Lord Shangguan Zhao, I'm a huge fan of yours!" The lively bunny-eared girl, Gongsun Li, was immediately overjoyed, her bunny ears bouncing merrily on her head.

"This is wonderful! Lord Cain actually brought Lord Shangguan Zhao to enjoy A-Li's dance. A-Li is so grateful to you!" Gongsun Li blinked her bright eyes and said excitedly to Cain.

"Uh, you're welcome. And you don't need to use honorifics like 'sir' to address me. It sounds awkward. Just call me Cain."

"Me too, just call me Shangguan Zhao."

"Alright, then I'll accept your offer. Cain and Shangguan Zhao, please call me A-Li too!" Gongsun Li said cheerfully, truly a vibrant and energetic girl.

"Kain, you're quite the celebrity now. It's an honor to meet you," Gongsun Li said with admiration.

"Really? It was just a martial arts competition, how come so many people know?" Cain asked, puzzled.

"That's not all. Even the story of you refusing the Empress's reward and remaining indifferent to fame and fortune has already started to spread throughout Chang'an. Everyone knows that there is a man named Cain who protected the Great Wall, who made great contributions but did not seek fame or fortune. There is also the great hero who saved the Great Wall, a martial arts master, one of only two people who refused the Empress, and the armored warrior..."

Without realizing it, I've acquired so many titles? How am I supposed to go out now?

"Fortunately, your portrait hasn't started circulating yet. Just keep a low profile in the future. With the grand event coming up, everyone's attention won't be on you." Shangguan Wan'er noticed Cain's worry.

"Kain, you're amazing! I saw it all clearly from the audience. You beat the tiger to a pulp!" Gongsun Li said playfully.

“Hey, I’m still here.” Pei Qinhu protested, but Gongsun Li ignored him.

"Kain is so amazing, is Ali about to fall for him?" Shangguan Wan'er teased. Her hand gripping the fan tightened slightly.

"To be honest, no. Although Cain is a good man, Ah Li already has someone she likes." Gongsun Li's face was slightly flushed.

"Really? Then who is the person you like? To win Ali's heart, he must be a handsome and talented man. I should get to know him." Shangguan Wan'er asked curiously.

For some reason, Cain sensed that Shangguan Wan'er seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, he's already gone far away, and I don't know his feelings," Gongsun Li said shyly.

Moreover, I failed to express my admiration for him.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Li's eyes dimmed slightly.

"Oh, so it's unrequited love. But since you like him, you should bravely pursue him. At least you should know how he feels," Shangguan Wan'er said, as if she were a teacher educating her.

"Is that so..." Gongsun Li blushed.

"Yes, you should do it this way..."

Shangguan Wan'er and Gongsun Li seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation about love, while Pei Qinhu remained silent, drinking his tea in silence. Pei Qinhu was a friend, and Li Xin was a comrade-in-arms, so it was difficult for Kai to help either side.

Yang Yuhuan remained silent, holding a pipa, exuding the graceful air of an unparalleled and noble beauty, but her eyes kept glancing at Cain.

"Oh dear, I almost forgot the important matter." As they chatted, Gongsun Li suddenly realized and slapped her forehead.

She stood up, cleared her throat, and said:

"Only when there is fate and gathering can Ali have her stage."

"Today, Ali is fortunate to meet with Cain, Shangguan Zhao, and Pei Qinhu here. Ali has now stepped onto this stage formed by fate and will present a performance for you to celebrate this destiny."

"Do Cain and Shangguan Zhao want to see A-Li dance, or do they want to hear Sister Yu-Huan play music, or... should we both come up and give a performance?" Gongsun Li asked playfully.

"Whatever, you decide." Cain glanced at Shangguan Wan'er.

"Then... let's put on a show together. I haven't had enough of the performances this morning." Shangguan Wan'er thought for a moment.

"No problem! Then let's begin, Sister Yuhuan."

"Hmm." Yang Yuhuan nodded, sat on the stool, and began to pluck the strings with her slender, jade-like fingers, her elegant and noble temperament seemingly even more pronounced.

“?~?~?~?~?~?~”

Unlike last time, this time the music is soothing, making you want to relax, immerse yourself in beautiful fantasies, and revel in happiness.

Gongsun Li's light and graceful dance steps began with the music, beautiful and moving.

"Well done!" Pei Qinhu cast aside his vexation and began to appreciate Gongsun Li's dance, gradually becoming engrossed.

"Wow, it's absolutely beautiful and captivating!" Shangguan Wan'er praised the performance.

"Okay...that's great...Cain...that's great..." Shangguan Wan'er mumbled sleepily. Seemingly about to fall asleep, she then slumped onto the table and began to snore loudly.

Cain seemed oblivious to anything amiss. He patted Shangguan Wan'er's head to comfort her and quietly watched the performance, wanting to see what Yao Tian was planning.

"Cain, how was our performance?"

At some point, Gongsun Li stopped dancing and looked at Cain with a half-smile.

"Can we talk?"

"Hey, oh, what's wrong? Uh... what happened?"

Pei Qinhu came to his senses, looked at the sleeping Shangguan Wan'er, then at the calm Cain, then at Gongsun Li and Yang Yuhuan, still not understanding the situation.
