Chapter 732: Chapter 567: Hope You Cherish Yourself, Hope You Respect Yourself!

"...!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Shang Ruyi’s eyebrows knitted together, her eyes uncontrollably showing a hint of anger.

Ever since she guessed that name, there had been a faint, no, a significant discomfort in her heart. Her nickname was Ming Yue Nu, yet this Miss Yu, who constantly schemed against them and overshadowed her in every aspect, was actually named "Ming Yue."

This made her even angrier and more resentful than Chu Ruoyan’s princess title.

Why is everyone around her named "Yue"?

However, despite her annoyance, she had no words to counter. After all, this nickname was her own choice, as if she was inherently inferior to these people, and any argument would be futile and only seem ridiculous.

At this moment, Shang Ruyi even blamed her younger self for being so naive.

Why chase after the moon?

While she was caught in self-doubt and self-reproach, unable to deal with the other party, Yu Mingyue, who had seen through everything, suddenly had a sharp gaze. Looking past her, her flamboyant and bright face showed a hint of surprise, and even some involuntary reverence appeared.

A warm, familiar aura surrounded Shang Ruyi.

She immediately sensed something, but before she could turn around, a warm, sturdy hand gently rested on her shoulder.

Then, a cold and steady voice spoke in her ear—

"My lady’s name is ’Ming Yue Nu,’ for she loves the moon’s purity, cherishes its clarity, pities its distance, and respects its aloofness, and thus is willing to be a moon’s servant. But since you take the name Ming Yue, do you possess the moon’s purity? The moon’s clarity? The moon’s distance? The moon’s aloofness?"

"...!"

With just this one sentence, the entire long street fell silent immediately.

Yu Mingyue’s eyes widened, and at that moment, the reverence in her eyes could no longer be concealed. Especially after hearing these words, a flustered emotion crashed against her former confidence, making her breathing chaotic, unable to respond, just staring dumbly behind Shang Ruyi.

And Shang Ruyi also slowly turned her head, immediately seeing a cold and steady face.

It was Yu Wenye!

He was standing right beside her, one hand still resting on her shoulder. His aura completely enveloped her, and his warmth flowed continuously through the palm on her shoulder into her, calming her entirely.

Indeed, she was named "Ming Yue Nu," not to serve everyone named "Ming Yue."

But because she loved the moon’s essence.

To be named Ming Yue yet lacking the moon’s essence, not only makes them unworthy to call her a servant, but they are also unworthy of the name Ming Yue!

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi took a deep breath, her whole being becoming more resolute, and Yu Wenye’s gaze also fixed more firmly ahead. Under his cold and stern eyes, Yu Mingyue, who once cornered Shang Ruyi relentlessly, seemed to feel that powerful presence, her eyes involuntarily flickering, even starting to evade.

Yu Wenye stared at her coldly, "It seems that you do not possess it."

"..."

"Since you do not, you merely bear the name of the moon without the moon’s essence, thus are unworthy to call my lady by her nickname and call her a servant."

He emphasized the last four words heavily, as if he was not the one ordering Shang Ruyi as a servant, but was instead forcefully rebuking the other party as one. Word by word, it was said so firmly that the other party had no chance to retort.

Only, amidst the calm, Shang Ruyi also looked at him with a hint of surprise.

She wasn’t surprised that Yu Wenye would appear at this time or that he would speak up for her, but because Yu Wenye had always been reserved, not someone who was skilled in words, yet this time, upon opening his mouth, he rendered the eloquent Yu Mingyue speechless, unable to argue.

He actually had such eloquence but had almost never shown it before!

Shang Ruyi looked at him and softly said, "Feng Chen..."

The hand on her shoulder still did not let go, more of his warmth infused into her, directly reaching her heart, so much so that she even felt her chest swell, almost inflating.

And while her heart raced, not knowing what to say, a chuckling voice accompanied by clapping applause sounded—

"Good! Well said!"

Yu Mingyue was startled, and upon looking up, saw two tall, elegant young men slowly come out from a nearby alley.

It was Shen Wuzheng and Pei Xingyuan.

Pei Xingyuan’s hand was still wrapped in a cotton bandage, and after clapping twice, he immediately hit a wound inside, grimacing in pain, but he still forced himself to endure, looking at Yu Wenye with a dissatisfied face, "Feng Chen, turns out you’re so eloquent. Then before, when I was ridiculed—" At this point, his voice choked unconsciously but then immediately resumed normally, "Why did you never help me?"

Yu Wenye glanced at him indifferently.

Pei Xingyuan immediately pouted, "Oh, it’s because someone bullied your lady, that’s why you stepped in, right."

Yu Wenye still ignored him, only shaking his head.

Then Pei Xingyuan turned his head to look at Yu Mingyue ahead, giving her a once-over, then laughed, "You have the charm of a noble lady, so why act like a thief?"

At this moment, the initially alarmed and slightly reverent Yu Mingyue, due to Yu Wenye’s presence, showed a guarded expression. She instinctively stepped back but stood firm after thinking, coolly staring at the still-smiling Pei Xingyuan, sneering, "Thief? What kind of thief?"

Pei Xingyuan also smiled, but gradually, the smile in his eyes faded: "Murderous thug."

"..."

"Jin Daji is your subordinate, administering medicine to save people in Yanzuo Square, but last night, he set a trap to harm me. Isn’t this your scheme?"

Yu Mingyue’s eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a cold light: "I don’t know."

"..."

"These people, I just temporarily employed them to handle things. The reason they used medicine in Yanzuo Square was to save people; as for why he wanted to harm people, that’s his own business. Moreover, if he could go so far as to kill someone, perhaps—it’s because someone did him wrong, prompting him to seek revenge?"

"..."

"This question should be directed at him and the person who wronged him."

Pei Xingyuan slightly widened his eyes, probably not expecting the other side to turn things around so easily with just one sentence, and was stunned for a while before murmuring: "Oh, a sharp tongue."

After saying this, he promptly turned his head to look at Yu Wenye, seeking help: "Feng Chen!"

Yu Wenye, however, did not look at him.

Pei Xingyuan then turned his head to look at the always silent Shen Wuzheng: "Fu Ming!"

Shen Wuzheng had been silent ever since he appeared, but his usually calm and detached eyes were intensely focused, staring ahead without blinking. Clearly, the presence of this "Guanghan Guest" challenged and disrupted his previous understanding of all things and people, so, upon seeing the true identity of the person in front of him, he was more cautious and careful than before.

Although he stood still and said nothing, Shang Ruyi could feel that his thin body was taut like a bow drawn to its limit.

Just hearing Pei Xingyuan’s voice, the bowstring was about to snap.

Shen Wuzheng stepped forward, sized up the other person once more, and then said: "Guanghan Guest?"

Yu Mingyue coolly raised her eyes to look at him, once again revealing the arrogant demeanor of looking down at everyone from the corners of her eyes and brows, even the slightly pursed corners of her lips, though she was somewhat surprised and wary of the three men’s appearance just now, she was clearly no stranger to them.

So at this moment, there was also an air of looking at a defeated opponent, and she lightly said: "It’s me."

Shen Wuzheng looked at her and slowly recited: "Qinghai Long Cloud Dark Snow Mountain, Gul City overlooking Yumen Pass. Huangsha Hundred Battles Wear Golden Armor, Unbroken Loulan never returning."

Everyone present was slightly taken aback, looking at him in surprise.

This poem was precisely the one by the original "Guanghan Guest," which was Yu Mingyue, that had defeated his poem in the poetry contest back then. What was Shen Wuzheng doing reciting it now?

Pei Xingyuan furrowed his brow and was about to say something, but Shen Wuzheng had already asked: "Did you write this poem?"

Yu Mingyue smiled arrogantly: "I already said, I am Guanghan Guest."

Shen Wuzheng continued to stare at her and said heavily: "Did you truly write it?"

Everyone became even more puzzled, and Pei Xingyuan even wondered if he was conceding on the surface, but because he saw that his opponent was a woman, he couldn’t accept defeat and was about to persuade him. Yet under the steady and calm gaze of those eyes, Yu Mingyue’s eyes flickered once more and even began to evade.

Shen Wuzheng immediately raised his eyebrows and said: "It’s not you."

Yu Mingyue’s breath sank again.

But in the next moment, she pressed her lips slightly again, smiled lightly, and said: "Young Master Shen, those willing to gamble accept their loss, especially in a public contest?"

"..."

"If you think I didn’t write this poem, why not find the true author?"

"..."

"If there exists someone who, a day, an hour, a moment before me, wrote this poem, or heard of it, or saw it, I, Yu Mingyue, will concede to you."

"..."

"But if you cannot find this person, then it’s you who cannot accept defeat!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Wuzheng’s gaze dimmed slightly, as if he had nothing more to say. Pei Xingyuan chimed in: "Fu Ming, my life and death matter greatly, so stop worrying about winning or losing. Besides, losing to a woman isn’t shameful."

Shen Wuzheng helplessly gave him a look.

Then turning back to Yu Mingyue, his gaze deepened a few degrees, and after a moment of silence, Shen Wuzheng said heavily: "Sir, extraordinary in wisdom, sharp in perception, talented and ingenious, truly, Fu Ming has never seen the like."

Yu Mingyue smiled lightly: "Thank you."

"But,"

Her words had just finished when Shen Wuzheng added: "Sly schemes and strategies for securing a nation are two different minds."

"..."

"I hope you cherish yourself, I hope you respect yourself!"
