My sister is Luna

Pei Qinhu was confused. He hadn't gone to Yaotian today and was completely unaware of the leader's decision. He could only stand up and watch the two of them perform.

"I wonder what you want to talk to me about, Ali?" Cain said calmly, his expression unreadable.

"I'd like to ask you a few questions, is that alright?" Gongsun Li looked at Cain earnestly.

Cain nodded: "No."

"That's wonderful... Wait a minute! Why aren't you playing by the rules? Wait a minute, please listen to my question!"

Gongsun Li was initially overjoyed, but then she realized something was wrong. Her rosy cheeks puffed up instantly, making her look pitiful.

"Haha, ask away, ask away, and then everyone can go home." Having successfully teased him, Cain was in high spirits, and his cheerful laughter echoed in the air.

Gongsun Li took a deep breath and composed herself: "Okay, first one, Cain, what do you think of Chang'an?"

"What do you think? I think it's great. This place is in a golden age, with all nations paying tribute. It's prosperous and strong, a scene of great vitality. The magnificent palaces, the bustling streets, and the crowds all make people feel the charm and energy of this city." Cain thought for a moment.

Gongsun Li nodded in satisfaction, then asked, "I understand. Second, what do you think of the people of Chang'an?"

"Although I haven't known Chang'an for very long, I still have an impression of the people here. They are full of hope for life, proud to be from this city, and warm and generous. I think that's great."

"The third one, and the last one, is just the surface of the light you see. In fact, there is much darkness hidden behind Chang'an City. Do you want this light to continue forever?" Gongsun Li stared intently at Cain, as if trying to discern a clue from his expression.

"To me, I am just a stranger here, an insignificant passerby. All I need to do when I leave is take with me the good memories." Cain said casually, his carefree demeanor as if none of this concerned him.

"Don't be so heartless..."

"Are you here to test me, Yaotian? I wonder if this is your own personal will or the will of your leader?" Cain interrupted Gongsun Li directly.

"How do you know Yao Tian?!" Gongsun Li covered her mouth in surprise, her beautiful eyes wide with disbelief.

"Guess..." Cain had a mysterious smile on his lips, a smile that seemed to hide endless secrets.

"Since you already know, let's not beat around the bush. We are acting on the orders of the leader of Yaotian and would like to take this opportunity to invite you to join us. You are not interested in fame or fortune and have noble character. Join us in upholding justice and order in the shadows that the light of Chang'an has not yet reached."

Gongsun Li took a deep breath, her expression somewhat cold, her face serious, but her eyes filled with expectation.

This was an unexpected bonus. Since Yaotian had come to him, Cain wasn't going to miss the opportunity. Yaotian's leader, Ming Shiyin, was involved in many things: the Great Wall, Shangguan Wan'er's revenge, and even clues about Dijun. Going in would be a win-win situation.

“Sounds good, but I refuse. Justice and order in Chang’an are enough with Di Renjie and the Dali Temple. We don’t need to meddle.” Cain said calmly, not in a hurry, and first pulled the issue aside.

"Although Di Renjie is a brilliant judge, he cannot personally manage and review all the cases. The Dali Temple is not entirely composed of wise and powerful people. The justice they overlooked needs to be upheld by us."

“That’s right, Cain, let’s work together to punish evil and promote good!” Pei Qinhu interjected.

He had figured out the situation: Cain was his friend, and this new friend could potentially become a colleague. The two joys overlapped, and this double joy brought even more joy. He wholeheartedly agreed to Cain joining.

"I won't be staying in Chang'an for long, and my ambitions lie elsewhere. Let's end our conversation here. Goodbye." Cain carried the sleeping Shangguan Wan'er on his back and pretended to leave.

"Wait, our leader says he has a way to clear your name and alleviate the suffering of being misunderstood as a stranger. As long as you join us, all of this can be resolved." Although Gongsun Li was unaware of Cain's injustice, this was the trump card that person had given her.

Although Kai didn't care about the injustice of betraying his clan, he could make the people of Yaotian think that he did. As a result, the other party felt confident and stopped in his tracks. He turned around and looked at Gongsun Li.

"Really?"

"real."

"Okay, I've joined."

"Wow, how come it's so straightforward?" Gongsun Li was a little incredulous.

“I hate evil the most, and my dream is to become a partner of justice. Yao Tian’s ideals are exactly what I want!” Cain said with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.

Gongsun Li's lips twitched, but she eventually smiled, her coldness vanishing, and handed Cain a palm-sized piece of paper.

"Oh, that's great. Remember to meet here at midnight tonight for a meeting about your joining the group. Also, it will be curfew then, so don't get caught. We won't be coming to rescue you."

"Can I go now?" Cain took the note and put it in his pocket.

"Of course, see you tonight!" Gongsun Li waved goodbye to Cain with a smile.

"See you tonight, Cain." Pei Qinhu said with a smile as he saw Cain out.

Yang Yuhuan stared intently at Cain, who was carrying Shangguan Wan'er away, her mind churning with thoughts.

Why is he so "magnanimous and inclusive"? It's as if I, a small person, have found a sense of belonging and peace in that world.

……

"Hmm, I didn't expect Wan'er to be so light."

Cain carried Shangguan Wan'er on his back, feeling the weight on her back as light as if it were nothing.

"Mmm...so warm...so comfortable...Kain..." Shangguan Wan'er's cheek was pressed against Kain's shoulder, and she was talking in her sleep. Her face was red and there was a smile on her lips. It seemed that she was having a sweet dream.

"Hahaha, talking in her sleep, how adorable." Cain chuckled to himself, remembering how he used to carry Luna on his back to lull her to sleep when they were little.

"Hmm...did I fall asleep?" Not long after, Shangguan Wan'er slowly woke up, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

"Yes, I carried you for quite a long way."

"Oh, sorry, I'll get down and walk." Only then did Shangguan Wan'er realize that she was lying on Cain's back. She blushed and quickly said.

"It's alright, you're not heavy anyway. You show me around Chang'an, and I'll do something to repay you."

Without turning his head, Cain continued walking towards the small courtyard in the corner of the Ming Palace.

"Mmm," Shangguan Wan'er replied shyly.

The evening breeze was blowing, the streets were bustling, and the noise of people was dazzling. Cain carried Shangguan Wan'er home, and their shadows were stretched long by the setting sun.

Shangguan Wan'er leaned against a broad, strong back, watching the endless stream of people, feeling a sense of peace and tranquility in her heart.

I wish time could stand still at this moment, and that it could stay like this forever...

Shangguan Wan'er didn't know why she thought that way.
