The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 178 Competition Part 18 ()

"Mr. Lin, how do you feel now?" Qian Xiaoyi asked with concern.

About ten minutes later, Lin Guangyilang woke up slowly. He looked around blankly. This was the room where the Noh masks were placed. Originally, Lin Guangyilang would feel a huge pressure on him when he came here, making him breathless. But now, he seemed to have suddenly come to his senses and didn't care at all.

Now there are only Qian Xiaoyi and Inuyama Heita in the room. No one knows where the brother and sister Guido Ryuko and Suzuna have gone.

"Very strange." Lin Guangyilang felt it for a while and said in surprise: "I don't feel anything about them anymore. Now I feel that they are just ordinary dead objects and can no longer interfere with my thinking."

There was one thing he didn't say, which was that his heart felt empty, extremely empty, as if he had discovered that the things he had always valued were nothing like this.

"So, has the exorcism been successful?" Lin Guangyilang was a little absent-minded. He asked himself and answered, "It should be successful. These things will never bother me again."

Qian Xiaoyi asked: "What are your plans for the future?"

"Of course I will continue to perform..." Lin Guangyilang stopped talking halfway, lowered his head and thought: "I... my mind is a little confused, I think I need to take a good rest for a few days, I am really too tired during this period of time."

Qian Xiaoyi said: "That's right, then take a good rest, don't think about anything, and make a decision when you calm down."

"Well, thank you." Lin Guangyilang asked: "Um... I remember, you are competing with Master Guifu and Suzuna, right? Then you should have won this commission? So I should give you the commission fee?"

"No, give it to that side." Qian Xiaoyi said calmly: "I lost."

After leaving Hayashi Koichirō's house, Qian Xiaoyi took out his mobile phone and looked at it. At the moment the live broadcast ended, Ashiya Yoshisuke sent a text message announcing the winner.

[Second round, winner: Gui Teng Long Guang. ]

"This is so unfair!" Ah Jian said indignantly, "I saw it all. It was clearly the brother and sister who caused the trouble. If it weren't for Brother Yi, I don't know what would have happened. That old man is simply a black whistle!"

Inuyama Heita also nodded in agreement: "Yes, I agree with Mr. Ken, we should have won this round."

"From what happened, it is true." Qian Xiaoyi said, "But it was them who finally solved the client's problem. Although I forced them to do so, it was they who came up with the solution. Through the influence of hundreds of thousands of people watching the live broadcast, and then faking their death, they created a collective cognition and deepened Lin Guangyilang's impression that he had 'killed' his 'parents', thus completely freeing him. This was probably the best solution at the time."

Inuyama Heita asked, "What will happen to Mr. Lin next?"

"I don't know." Qian Xiaoyi said, "Before that, the best solution was to give him false comfort and let him reconcile with the influence of his original family. That was the safest way. Even if it was a lie, he had no place to verify it. But now, because he has accepted his true feelings, he may give up Noh, or continue to do it to make a living. In short, it depends on his own thoughts."

"Alas... it's a pity that the commission fee was wasted this time." Inuyama Heita sighed, "It was all in vain."

Qian Xiaoyi didn't care about the result. He said heartlessly, "Hey, don't worry about it. If Ling Nai hadn't used those crooked methods before and solved the problem in an upright manner, then we wouldn't have been able to get this commission. I have to say that those two guys are really good at communication. As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise. We can just win it back next time."

"Ah, in front." Inuyama Heita saw Ryumitsu Kifuji standing under the street light beside the road, seemingly waiting for them.

Qian Xiaoyi walked over and greeted him, "Master Gui Teng, you haven't left yet? Where are those two people?" Gui Teng Longguang said, "They were scared away by you."

"Hey, hey, am I that scary?" Qian Xiaoyi said helplessly.

Gui Teng Longguang smiled and said, "Not every exorcist will take the initiative to contact dangerous places. It should be said that most exorcists only treat it as a job. They will only do safe commissions. They are like this, so they have never encountered such a situation. This time you really scared them."

Qian Xiaoyi said: "I hope they can learn their lesson. Then, Master Gui Teng, why are you still here? Are you waiting for me?"

"That's right." Gui Teng Longguang nodded: "By the way, the result of this competition makes you feel very uncomfortable, right?"

Qian Xiaoyi said: "Of course I feel a little unhappy, but if you stayed to comfort me just for this matter, then there is no need. Our relationship is not that good, right?"

Gui Teng Longguang shook his head and said, "Of course it's not about this matter, I just asked casually... I came to give you a warning. Some people's temptations on you have ended. If possible, I hope you don't participate in the next competition."

"What is this? A threat?" Qian Xiaoyi said with a smile.

"It's advice." Gui Teng Longguang said, "I've long understood that I'm not as good as you in exorcism. If I could, I'd give up directly, but I can't. Not only can't I, I can't even quit. But you can, you don't have any worries, and this won't be a loss to you..."

"Okay, okay, I understand what you mean." Qian Xiaoyi interrupted him and said, "I can see that you are very dissatisfied with the guy behind you, but you dare not refuse him because he is using the national justice to pressure you. If you don't agree, you will be the sinner of the entire industry, right?"

Gui Teng Longguang said anxiously: "Since you know, you should understand how many people in your position want to defeat you, which means that they will not abide by the rules so much. Therefore, in the last match, they are likely to use some extreme means. At that time, no one will speak for you, and no one will pursue this matter. At most, they will pretend to do so. After a while, everyone will forget about you... So, admit defeat."

"Brother Yi..." Inuyama Heita was a little frightened when he heard this. He didn't know when they had become the public enemy of the industry.

Qian Xiaoyi said, "I understand."

"You...you agreed?" Gui Teng Longguang was a little surprised.

Qian Xiaoyi smiled, "No, I mean I understand who's behind you. They're the rubbish that hides in the dark, uses evil magic to harm others, and harms others for their own benefit, right? Pushing the brother and sister out is not to test my strength, but to test what kind of person I am. Will I go along with them, or... Your attitude now has shown that they are sure that I will confront them in the future, so they might as well use this opportunity to get rid of me openly, right?"

Gui Teng Longguang looked at Qian Xiaoyi with a strange expression: "Don't you know it very well? Admitting defeat is your only chance to survive."

"I don't think so." Qian Xiaoyi said, "Don't I have another choice?"

Gui Teng Long Guang frowned and said, "You don't want to..."

"That's right, isn't it enough to just defeat them all?" Qian Xiaoyi said, "Tell that guy to come in person. I'll let him see what real skills are. He must not let me down and not dare to come out like a turtle. That would be meaningless."
