The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 110: Fierce Fight! Seven Wonders of Campus! (7)

Qian Xiaoyi originally wanted to discuss with the store manager privately how to act next in order to appease the employees without clearing up the misunderstanding. This way, he could attract business and increase popularity through rumors while allowing the employees to work normally, killing two birds with one stone.

But when he entered the backstage of the haunted house, he saw a monk with a crew cut and wearing a black Japanese monk's robe. He looked to be about 50 years old, with smiling eyes and wrinkled face. Qian Xiaoyi only took a glance and smelled the scent of a fellow monk.

"Uncle, this is Master Kitano from Hoshoji Temple." Takahashi Aiko, who had removed her makeup, said attentively, "Master Kitano is a famous exorcist in the whole of Tokyo. When I heard that our store was haunted, I asked people for a long time and finally invited Master Kitano. He is not an unknown exorcist invited by some people, but a real powerful person."

Qian Xiaoyi figured it out. Although this woman's words were harsh, they were not directed at him, but at the person who invited him here, that is, Ah Zheng. It seemed that his guess was right. He was just affected by the battle for succession. It can only be said that this woman's brain is really a hole. You can guess what she wants to do with your toes. It's nothing more than that after seeing Ah Zheng invite a spirit exorcist to help his uncle solve his problems, she was not willing to be outdone and invited another spirit exorcist to come and take credit.

Qian Xiaoyi didn't want to get involved in the war between the two of them, but now another colleague was involved, which made it a bit difficult. He couldn't advance or retreat, so he could only wait and see the other party's reaction before making any plans.

"Aizi, you didn't tell me about this before." The store manager was embarrassed by the situation. Qian Xiaoyi happened to come in, which made the store manager even more at a loss. With sweat on his head, he said, "Mr. Qian, I'm sorry, I didn't know Aizi also invited an exorcist... That, Master Gui Teng, I'm really sorry, in fact, our store has been investigated by Mr. Qian first, and no problems were found, so can this matter be forgotten? Of course, I will still pay the fees."

Takahashi Aiko frowned and said, "Uncle, not everyone can invite Master Gui Teng from Baoshou Temple. It would be too rude to let him go back directly." Are you kidding? She spent so much effort to ask someone to invite this master, how could she just let it go like this?
"Oh? Could this young man also be an exorcist? He's really young." Although Master Gui Teng had a smile on his face, Qian Xiaoyi could feel a scrutinizing gaze coming over him. Master Gui Teng smiled, put his hands together politely and bowed, saying, "I'm Gui Teng Longguang, who is currently practicing in Baosong Temple. May I know who you are?"

Although he said he was practicing in a temple, Qian Xiaoyi had actually done some research beforehand and found out that the exorcists who accepted commissions of this level were usually outsiders or people without any mountain base, who were affiliated with a temple or shrine. It was like they were borrowing a name, and the other party might not even be a real monk. This was very common in this industry.

The other party was not rude. If he was saluted like this by his peers in China, Qian Xiaoyi would have returned the courtesy and respectfully told others his mountain, Taoist temple, master, Taoist name, seniority, etc. However, he did not do so at this moment, and did not even say that he was a Taoist priest. Instead, he nodded and said directly: "I am an exorcist from China, my name is Qian Xiaoyi, and I currently run an exorcism agency. This is an intern employee of my agency. Please take care of me."

"Oh? So you're a foreigner." Gui Teng Longguang said in amazement: "It's really rare to see a foreign exorcist come to Tokyo... I heard that you've already investigated and there's no sign of ghosts here?"

"Yes." Qian Xiaoyi agreed. Now that he was here, whether to advance or retreat depended on the other party's next reaction. Generally, when encountering such a situation where there was no economic dispute, the latecomer should take the initiative to give in. After all, the fault was not with the peers, but with the employer who clearly knew the situation but still invited him to come. Anyway, he could get money for a free trip, so why not? But Qian Xiaoyi had already made another preparation in his heart...

"Really?" Gui Teng Longguang smiled kindly, "Are you so sure, little brother? For the safety of our clients, we shouldn't be so careless. Anyway, since you're here and have received a deposit, let me help you find out the gaps. After all, this is Japan, not your country of origin. There are some differences in the way of exorcism. If there are some mistakes, it is understandable."

Well, has it really started? Local colleagues are ostracizing those outside the circle. Qian Xiaoyi was not surprised at all. Although it sounded nice on the surface, he was not even willing to give him a sip of soup. Or, in other words, he wanted to give him a warning and let him know who has the final say in Tokyo. It seems that no matter what circle, there are a lot of dirty things. Takahashi Aiko agreed: "Master, you are right. It is better for exorcists to have more experience..."

At this time, Zheng finally arrived late, his hair was still wet, it seemed that he had just taken off his makeup and showered. Takahashi Aiko raised the corners of her mouth and said to Zheng proudly: "Zheng, look who I invited here? It's Master Gui Teng from Baoshou Temple~"

"You...you knew I invited Mr. Qian, but you invited someone else?!" Ah Zheng said in surprise, "Sister Aizi, you are going too far, aren't you? It's ok to make things difficult for me normally, but you are making things difficult for others by doing this."

Takahashi Aiko sneered, "What's the problem? Ah Zheng, put away your nice persona. To run a store, it's not enough to be enthusiastic, you also need to be capable, just like an exorcist. Who is more capable can be seen by just looking at him, right?"

Qian Xiaoyi even doubted whether this woman's mouth was blessed or not. She was really good at offending people. With the word "incompetent", she scolded him, A Zheng, and the store manager.

"Um..." The forgotten store manager finally spoke up at this time. He hurriedly said, "Aizi, stop talking! Let's forget it today. Both masters, please go back. Our store doesn't need exorcism. This matter was wrong on our part. We will pay the money."

Takahashi Aiko said anxiously: "But..."

Gui Teng Longguang interrupted at this time: "Mr. Takahashi, please don't jump to conclusions. I think it is necessary for me to investigate here. If you want to know why... Just now, I have already felt the breath of ghosts. I am afraid there is really a problem here~"

"Eh?" The store manager was stunned. Is there really a problem? Is this a joke?
Gui Teng Longguang said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Takahashi does not believe it? I guarantee with my reputation as an exorcist over the years that there is definitely a ghost nearby, it is..."

"-This direction!" Gui Teng Longguang stretched out his hand and pointed at a figure in the room.

"Ah?" Ah Jian looked around, then pointed at himself and asked, "Are you talking about me?"
