The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 127: Yellow Springs House (8)

After coming out of Yomiuri-ya and walking on the neon-lit street, Inuyama Heita said with emotion: "Mr. Ashiya is totally different from what I imagined. He seems to be a good person."

Qian Xiaoyi was not as naive as him, and said, "That's because we found Huangquan House tonight, drank the glass of wine without hesitation, and pointed out the key to the operation of his izakaya at once, which made him dare not underestimate us. Don't look at the old man's plain appearance. Just looking at the layout of the izakaya, you should know that he is a very powerful guy. I know very well that such a talented person from a famous family will only recognize another talented person. I have his recognition, so this old man is so amiable. If we don't pass the test, what awaits us at that time will not be a pleasant chat."

Inuyama Heita was surprised and asked, "No way?"

"Yes." Qian Xiaoyi said, "Without any means, how can he be the mediator between these exorcists? Just because he is so powerful and is from a famous family? It's not that simple. Fairness and justice are for people within your own circle. If he doesn't even help people in his own circle and still insists on fairness and justice, then his shop won't be open for long. In short, he did show goodwill towards us this time, but how it actually works out depends on whether what he does next is consistent with what he said."

Inuyama Heita sighed: "The adult world is really complicated... I wonder what kind of commissions Mr. Ashiya will issue next."

"Let's take it one step at a time." Qian Xiaoyi shrugged. "If you want to gain a foothold here, this kind of link is indispensable. It is better than coming here secretly. Then we can see whether the descendants of this great Yin-Yang master are really fair and just."

He still agreed to Ashiya Yoshisuke's suggestion and agreed to compete with Kifuji Ryuko and others. This decision was made by Ashiya Yoshisuke temporarily. When the Yellow Spring House is opened next time, Ashiya Yoshisuke will find a commission and then hand it over to both parties to complete. The final result will determine the grudge between the two parties, but no matter what the result is, the grudge must be written off and no revenge means shall be used afterwards.

Under Ashiya Yoshisuke's arrangement, this small competition will definitely attract a lot of attention. Although there is no bet, both sides can't afford to lose. On the one hand, if Qian Xiaoyi loses to a player of the level of Gui Teng Longguang, he will look down on himself and forget about accepting any high-level commissions in the future. On the other hand, this competition can be said to be a showdown between Chinese and Japanese exorcists. With this layer of relationship, if Gui Teng Longguang loses, he will definitely be despised by many people and then excluded. Even in the circle of exorcists, there is still the same school bullying.

"It seems like he's giving me face, but in fact he's putting me on the spot." Qian Xiaoyi said, "But I can't help but accept it. He's doing me a favor. This old man is quite capable... There's only half a month left, so I have to get ready."

Ah Jian emerged from the jade pendant: "What are you preparing for? Go find Urban Legend to catch Ghostmon, and then participate in the Ghostmon League Masters Tournament?"

He had just stayed in the jade pendant and didn't even dare to listen to the noise outside, for fear of being discovered and targeted. He was now very comfortable in the Lingkong Office. Not only did he have Qian Xiaoyi's incense offerings every now and then, he could also occasionally possess Inuyama Heita's body for a meal. He didn't want to be a slave to other exorcists.

"Ah... don't mention urban legends." Qian Xiaoyi covered his forehead and said frustratedly: "I get angry when I mention this..."

Inuyama Heita's face immediately turned ugly, leaving Ajian confused.

Qian Xiaoyi suddenly remembered something and gritted his teeth and said, "No wonder Kawasaki was so generous and didn't even bargain for my price. So that's why... Although the scammers who cheated him before didn't have any skills, they charged according to the industry's prices. So that guy didn't even blink when he paid me. Now he's at a big loss."

Inuyama Heita said indignantly: "Yes, this is too cheap, Senior Kawasaki. Should we raise the price?"

"This... is not possible. I was afraid that he would go back on his word. We had already signed the contract, and it would expire next year..." Qian Xiaoyi sighed: "Alas~" "Alas..." Inuyama Heita also wanted to cry but had no tears.

Ah Jian was confused and asked, "So what do we need to prepare?"

"Yes, Brother Otoshi." Inuyama Heita asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Need your help?" Qian Xiaoyi said: "Of course, and rather than saying that I need your help, it's better to say... During this period of time, the main thing that needs to be prepared is you."

"Huh? What?" Inuyama Heita was stunned.

Qian Xiaoyi said, "I don't take Gui Teng Longguang's strength seriously. Without using real-life tricks, even if there are ten of him, they can't beat me in this respect. But don't forget... we are the only two invited this time. Although you haven't been in the industry for a long time, you are also regarded as a true psychic by Mr. Ashiya. Therefore, you are also regarded as one of the contestants in the competition. We represent the power of the firm, not me personally."

"Me?" Inuyama Heita pointed at his nose and was very surprised. Just like Qian Xiaoyi said, he had only been in the industry for less than two months. He was still in the stage of training his body to strengthen his spiritual strength. When he met a ghost with a little ability, he could only stare blankly. How could a weak chicken like him compare to an experienced veteran? So he asked: "Um... can you ignore me?"

"You should ask the other party about this." Qian Xiaoyi spread his hands and said, "Think about it carefully. If it were you, facing a master like me whose strength far exceeds yours, but the master is accompanied by a burden, would you choose to confront me head-on, or would you choose to attack the burden and distract me?"

"A burden? That's too much..." Inuyama Heita was very frustrated: "I understand... So what we need to prepare is..."

"Of course it's special training!" Qian Xiaoyi said, "Time is very tight. I need to make you capable of taking care of things on your own within half a month, but at least I want you to be able to protect yourself when you are asked to do something. So let's skip the fitness phase and start with special training in exorcism."

"It's burning!" Jian said excitedly, "It's just like the scene in boys' comics before encountering a strong enemy! I never thought that I, Jian, would see it with my own eyes one day! Run towards the sunset, Inuyama clan!"

"You don't think..." Qian Xiaoyi looked at Ajian, "You don't have to do anything, just stand there and watch, right? Fat otaku?"

"You mean I want one too..." Ken was stunned just like Inuyama Heita before, and then he shouted in despair:

"No!!!!"
