The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 401 Huang Quan Invitation (7)

"That's why Mr. Ashiya is ranked first." Terao Yu said, "Of course, there are many unknown schools and hermits in other places, as well as those big shrines and temples that never show up, and there are masters in them, so the data summarized here are only the data of exorcists who have performed in Tokyo."

Qian Xiaoyi said: "I have to say, your investigation is quite detailed."

"Don't call me 'you', call me senior or Mr. Terao!" Terao Yu said with some dissatisfaction. The Japanese still have a very strong concept of class.

"I'm so sorry, 'senior'." Qian Xiaoyi said with no sincerity, a weird smile on his face.

After teaching the newbie a lesson, Terao Yu said proudly, "Newbie, do you know why I have so much information? I am the administrator of the [Ghost] forum! You don't know what this forum is, do you? This is an online forum for Japanese exorcists to exchange experiences and information. I'll send you the URL... I forgot that there is no signal here, so I'll write it to you."

He took out a pen and wrote down a website address on his notebook and gave it to Qian Xiaoyi. Then he asked, "By the way, I didn't ask you just now. What's your name? If you have anything to do in the future, you can tell me my name. I can take care of you."

Qian Xiaoyi took the paper with the website address and said, "Me? My name is..."

"Look!" Terao Yu suddenly shook Qian Xiaoyi's shoulders excitedly and pointed in a direction. Qian Xiaoyi looked in that direction and saw a familiar figure wearing a flowered headscarf and dreadlocks.

Terao Yu said excitedly: "The ten S-class exorcists we just talked about! In addition to Mr. Ashiya himself, one of them is here! That, that person is Mr. Hoshiba! [Strange Shopkeeper] Hoshiba Ryou! I once went to his shop to buy something... He walked towards us! He must be saying hello to me! It seems that my reputation is gradually spreading in the circle. How should I respond..."

Just when Terao Yu had thought of the right words, took a deep breath, and was about to greet Hoshiba Rang politely, Hoshiba Rang raised his hand and said familiarly, "Hey~ So you're here~ Have you just arrived?"

Terao Yu's pupils were shaking: So our relationship is so good?! How should he answer? Should he respond like a good brother, or be polite, or be neither arrogant nor humble? Or should he just kneel down and lick his ass? Who knows, if the other party is in a good mood, he might throw him a powerful magic weapon that he doesn't want!
Before he could respond, a voice of answer came from beside him.

"I've been here for a while." Qian Xiaoyi said, "I chatted with a colleague and listened to his stories."

"Listen to a story?" Xingba Rang muttered a little, feeling strange, and then said, "Go over there, Mr. Qian, Mr. Ashiya has been waiting for you."

"OK." Qian Xiaoyi turned to Terao Yu and said, "Sorry, Terao 'senpai', my friend is here, so I won't accompany you for now. We can talk next time."

Then he left here with Hoshiba Ryou, leaving behind the dazed Terao Itsuki.

"Who is that?" asked Xingchang Rang.

"A 'senior' in the industry." Qian Xiaoyi said with a smile, "He was just teaching me some experience in the industry."

Xingchang Rang was speechless: "I think you are too leisurely..."

"Don't mention it, I actually heard a lot of interesting things." Qian Xiaoyi said, "For example, [Strange Store Manager] and so on."

"Same here, great detective."

Terao Yu opened his mouth in amazement. Just now, it seemed that he had been blowing the water for a long time with a very extraordinary guy.

"Fortunately, fortunately I didn't say anything bad about him... I probably didn't offend him just now." Terao Yu recalled his words and actions with some fear, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he immediately became excited: "I actually got in touch with that mysterious psychic detective! Now I can show off in the forum. I can tell others that I had a good chat with that psychic detective..."

Just as he was excited, the shoji door beside him slowly opened, so Terao Yu quickly regained his stern expression, leaned against the door, folded his arms and looked at the person coming out. Seeing that it was a young stranger, Terao Yu sneered: "Hehehe... Another stranger I haven't seen before... Are you a newcomer?"

Inuyama Heita just walked out of the door when he heard the voice. He was startled and answered carefully: "Yes...Excuse me, who are you..."

"You are a newcomer indeed. You haven't even heard of my name..."

Just when Terao Yu found another newcomer and was about to ask for a drink, Qian Xiaoyi and Hoshiba went to a private room deep in the restaurant. In the room, besides Yoshisuke Ashiya, the owner of Yomiuri-ya, everyone who had fought against the King of Tanukis together in WTV was there. Even King Kong, who was ridiculed by Terao Yu for not being able to come in, came, except that there was a strange doll on his shoulder, looking at Qian Xiaoyi with its round eyes.

When everyone saw Qian Xiaoyi, they greeted him one after another.

"Mr. Ashiya." Qian Xiaoyi looked at the owner here.

"Mr. Qian, long time no see." Ashiya Yoshisuke was still as easy-going as ever, with his ponytail neatly tied behind his head. He greeted Qian Xiaoyi kindly.

"Yes, it's been a while. I've been busy with a commission recently." Qian Xiaoyi said with a smile: "By the way, is it your birthday today, old man? Congratulations, why didn't you tell me in advance, otherwise I could have brought some gifts."

Ashiya Kichisuke said with a smile: "For someone of my age, a birthday is just a reminder that I am one step closer to death, so it is better not to celebrate it."

"You can't say that, old man." Qian Xiaoyi said, "Every day you live is a day, just like the Chinese New Year, isn't it celebrating that you've survived another year? So it's the same with birthdays. After this year, you immediately look forward to the next year. This is how you live your life."

"Hahaha~ Interesting~" Ashiya Yoshisuke laughed, seeming to be very happy about these words.

"But, Qian-kun." Ashiya Jisuke suddenly said jokingly, "You don't usually come to my place. Do you think it's too rustic? It really makes me sad."

"How could that be~" Qian Xiaoyi waved his hand and said, "Grandpa, don't you watch TV? I've really been too busy recently. I was very popular on TV some time ago. I can be said to be a TV celebrity~"

"I watched your show, too. It's quite interesting." Ashiya Kichisuke said, "But you're on WTV, right? The TV station that had an incident a while ago."

"Yes." Qian Xiaoyi sighed, "This is really a big deal. It seems that my acting career will end here."

Ashiya Jisuke asked, "So, is it because of that big monster?"

The air in the box was still. Qian Xiaoyi looked at Ashiya Yoshisuke without saying anything.

In fact, he was not surprised that Ashiya Yoshisuke knew about this matter. After all, there were several people working on the commission together, and Ashiya Yoshisuke could find out by just asking. As an outsider, in terms of relationship, Ashiya Yoshisuke's relationship must be closer than his relationship with the elder than with other people. When encountering such a strange commission, there was no reason not to tell him.

——What's more, Qian Xiaoyi also wanted to know some information from Ashiya Yoshisuke.

"What I'm going to say next is not a joke." Ashiya Yoshisuke became serious and said to everyone in the box: "I'm afraid you've gotten into a lot of trouble."

Ashiya Yoshisuke paused and said, "I wonder if you have ever heard of... [Hundred Demons]?"
