Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1538 1510. Guess
Fujiyoshiro took it for granted that Lan En and A Xiu were actually in the same group.

After all, he left a letter for help at the home of a demon exorcist whom he didn't know at the time, and then the two of them came to the village together. Doesn't this explain the problem?
How can there be such a coincidence in the world?
So from Fujiyoshiro's point of view, these two people will go to Jusanzakura Village first to take a look at the situation, and then work together to solve the problem completely.

Afterwards, Fujiyoshiro thought to himself that he was indeed a famous demon hunter who was careful and cautious in his work. He deserved that he could deal with such foul things as demons and evil spirits and remain active for such a long time without any problems.

But in the ears of Saito Dosan, the old father
"Really? Are you together?"

For some reason, Fujiyoshiro felt that he could hear a hint of fantasy in the tone of Master Dosan, a tough and strong man who was a role model for our generation.

But for the sake of his own life, Fujiyoshiro did not dare to delay or hesitate at all.

"Yes! I'm sure they are together!"

Fujikichiro buried his head in the ground and shouted in a muffled voice.

"I vaguely heard Lan En's promise to the princess in the Thirteen Sakura Village! He said something like 'You won't have to worry if you're with me'! Every word was so true!"

"And when I entered the room, I saw the princess and Lan En looking at each other in silence, each smiling!"

Fujiyoshiro shouted loudly, feeling a little proud in his heart.

Master Lan En! I spoke very well of you in front of Master Dao San!

But in the room, there was deathly silence.

Finally, there was only the sound of fabric rubbing against each other.

Saito Dosan's steps seemed a little staggering in the eyes of Fujikichiro who was lying on the ground as he walked out.

No words were left.
-
The next day, Lan En got up neither early nor late.

As soon as he got up, he heard a long-awaited voice from outside the door, saying that Saito Dosan asked him to come over to meet him, and his companions were already there.

Lan En naturally had nothing to say, so he went out and headed towards the upper level of the castle tower.

But I did meet my companions on the way.

"Ah, you're here too, good morning."

At this time, Wuming, who was no longer wearing the evil ghost mask on his head, walked out from the corner of the corridor, greeted Lan En, and walked to his side. The two walked forward together.

"Good morning to you too, Wuming." Lan En said familiarly, "You seem to be in good shape."

"Looking good?" Wu Ming pointed at his dark circles and tilted his bob to Lan En expressionlessly. "Thanks to you, those people really pulled me out of bed last night and changed me to a higher-quality bedroom."

"The new bedroom is nice, but I am a light sleeper and it takes me a long time to fall asleep after being woken up."

Although they had not been together for a long time, they had experienced a lot, and they were all quite urgent. Therefore, Lan En easily understood the temperament of this demon hunter.

To put it in a more two-dimensional way - he is a cold and aloof tsundere.

There is basically no big fluctuation in expression on his face, and the same goes for his voice. But suddenly, he will reveal some real emotions like a needle hidden in cotton.

Because she is kind and simple by nature, Lan En thinks her character is quite interesting.

"I'm so sorry." Lan En apologized with an insincere smile, "I'm so sorry for letting you stay in a good room."

Wuming looked at him, and then for some reason, he suddenly turned his head to the other side.

"I also heard that Saito Dosan went to such great lengths to find his long-lost daughter." Wuming asked in surprise, "Is that true? I've never heard that Saito Dosan had any children who were lost outside."

"If he knew there was such a person, wouldn't the monk Rihu who always stayed in the temple have already searched all over the world for him to vent his anger?"

"It's because no one knows about it that no one has looked for it, and that's why I'm still alive today."

Lan said with a chuckle.

As they were talking, after walking for a while, Fujiyoshiro also came out from another corner of the corridor, yawning.

Wuming and Lan En looked at him in surprise, because this guy had much darker dark circles under his eyes than Wuming.

"You didn't stay up all night, did you, Toukichirou?"

Lan En made way for him, giving him enough space to walk out from the corner.

"I can't help it. This is my first time sleeping in a place like this! I was so excited that I couldn't even close my eyes. I was afraid of making a fool of myself."

Toukichiro explained, scratching his head.

In fact, there are some other reasons.

For example, after Saito Dosan came, his mood was very up and down that night and he couldn't calm down at all.

After Saito Dosan left, his mind was filled with fantasies about his future success and all kinds of imaginative plans.

I kept reminding myself to seize the opportunity, and before I knew it, it was dawn.

"When you were working for Master Dao San, didn't you live here?"

Lan En asked doubtfully.

Fujikichiro laughed awkwardly: "As a traveling merchant, how can I have such a chance? Haha."

In fact, just relying on the guardian spirit of the [Divine Monkey], he will be treated well wherever he goes as long as he meets someone with a discerning eye for talent.

However, Saito Dosan saw in advance that this man was a very ambitious type, so he planned to let him find some spiritual stones for him first, and then recommend him to his successor Yoshitatsu.

Therefore, when arranging Fujiyoshiro, I had the intention of letting him experience the evil taste of first suppressing and then praising him a few times.

Until I met Ah Xiu this time, I was so confused that I didn't care about anything else.

"Then it's really hard for you."

Lan En comforted him habitually. "It's not hard!" Unexpectedly, Fujikichiro simply denied it and even became excited, "What's the big deal! As long as I can wait for the opportunity, it's worth it!"

As he spoke, he nudged Lan En's belly with his elbow, and his face looked even more wretched: "Master Dao San really likes you and cares about you very much! I said a lot of good things about you yesterday! I just hope you don't forget me in the future!"

Before Lan En could say anything, Wu Ming next to him had already expressed his thoughts.

"Disgusting"

"Ah? Saying such words with a blank expression is too hurtful, isn't it?" Fujiyoshiro put his hands on his hips and looked at Wuming with a complaining look.

However, he was very good at adjusting his mentality, and he quickly greeted the monster hunter: "I'm Fujiyoshiro, thank you for your guidance! You can also call me Monkey."

"Wuming, please give me your guidance, Toukichirou."

"Oh~ You're the one who delivered the letter!" Fujikichiro said nonchalantly, "You can call me monkey, it's nothing."

"No." Wuming looked at the other party and shook his head, "Let's call him Fujikichiro."

This time it was Fujiyoshiro's turn to get stuck.

The man looked at the woman who called him "disgusting" as soon as they met with some surprise, but then he smiled more sincerely.

At this time, they were almost at the door, and Lan En also reacted and interjected.

He looked at Toukichiro in surprise, his eyebrows raised.

"You told him something nice about me? Last night? When?"

Fujiyoshiro's face froze, then he quickly stepped forward and raised his hand to push open the door.

At the deepest part of the room inside the gate, Saito Dosan, who had already placed breakfast on the small table, was now sitting in the main seat at the deepest part of the room, looking here.

Lan En's question was blocked by his eyes.

Dao San, who was sitting in the main seat, saw Lan En and the young man Chu Yeshi who had delivered the letter walk in together. The atmosphere between the two was as natural as if they were old friends.

I immediately believed Hanbei's words even more: This kid seems to have found a lot of talents in Japan!
"Finding talents" is something that people say easily, but when it comes to actually doing it, no one knows it better than Saito Dosan, who ruled Mino for decades.

With the manpower and resources that a country could mobilize, he felt powerless when faced with the people emerging around Lan En.

——Where did you find all this?

What’s more important is what exactly does he want to do by finding these talents?
I saw Lan En sitting behind the small dining table casually like he did last night. The small table was like a toy in front of him.

Saito Dosan cleared his throat: "Ahem, what are you looking around for?"

"Looking for Ah Xiu." Lan En answered simply, "Doesn't she want to eat breakfast? I'm a little worried that she might be uneasy if I'm not with her."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hanbei, who was sitting next to Daosan, heard a familiar "click" sound.

He knew without turning his head that it was the sound of the old master's finger joints being cracked.

But what Lan En meant was actually 'Ah Xiu is worried that her evil spirit will run wild and no one will suppress it'.

After all, this beautiful half-demon is also kind-hearted.

But to Saito Dosan it sounded like this pretty boy was provoking him!

After taking a deep breath, he managed to suppress the anger in his heart.

Lan En even looked up at him, not knowing why his steady breathing suddenly became disordered.

"I didn't call Yoshihide on purpose." Saito Dosan took a deep breath, keeping his breath steady, and said, "I just wanted to ask about you."

"I?"

"For example," Saito Dosan's eyes were like needles, and his body leaned forward with a sense of oppression, "How did you get here?"

"."

Lan En's hand, which was casually reaching for the pickled radish slices on the plate on the small table, paused slightly.

Saito Dosan continued, "Don't say stupid things like Ming people. How could a person like you end up here?"

The main point of Saito Dosan's words is actually "simple stupid talk".

He didn't believe that Lan En was just a simple Ming citizen. A royal relative, a descendant of a powerful official, he had to tell the truth, right?
But in Lan En's ears, the key point he subconsciously grasped was "Ming people".

In other words, the other party didn't believe anything about his background at all.

In other words, Saito Dosan already knows my origins?
It's not Lan En's fault for thinking too much. After all, he has been through many worlds, and many of them have people who directly recognized him as a visitor from another world. This is not a rare thing.

As for Saito Dosan's guardian spirit, the White Viper, snakes are always closely related to mysticism, divination and the like.

The appearance of this guardian spirit first made Lan En suspect that Saito Dosan might have used some kind of mystical exploration method to confirm his origins.

So after the other party said these words, Lan En paused slightly.

"Master Dao San," he asked in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Do you know?"

The bald man's eyes showed an expression of "as expected".

"It's obvious. Do you think I'm that stupid?"

"That's not the case. But I don't want you to be too sensitive. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Lan En spoke sincerely, but Saito Dosan waved his sleeves heroically.

"Go back?" Suddenly, Saito Dosan's eyes flashed with a strange light, "Are you so confident that you can go back?"
