The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 492: Gambling
"Where...is this?"

Liuliyuan Lily walked tremblingly in an unfamiliar alley. She was very sure that she was following her father's footsteps, but because she was afraid of being discovered, she kept a distance.

But after the other party turned a corner, Liuliyuan Lily suddenly found that the other party was gone. Not only that, after she ran over, she found that the alley was actually a dead end! This made her panic.

Then Liuliyuan Lily began to wander around in this strange place, trying to find her father or wander to an exit, but she sadly discovered that she was lost.

What's worse is that when she took out her cell phone to call for help, she found that the signal in this damn place was not even stable! She couldn't get through at all.

"How could there be such a place in the city!" Liuliyuan Lily was scared. She shouted, "Dad! Don't scare me. Come out quickly!"

She began to panic and ran in one direction, but these alleys were like a maze and she couldn't get out no matter how hard she ran. Instead, the buildings around her seemed more and more weird and desolate, which terrified her.

At this time, the sound of footsteps was heard.

"There's someone!" Ruriin Yuri was happy at first, but then suddenly realized that this place was too desolate and something was wrong. In addition, Kabukicho was a mixed crowd with many dangerous elements, so fear slowly crept into her heart.

All of a sudden, all kinds of unhealthy scenarios emerged in her mind.

Just as she was hesitating, the footsteps were approaching and came out from the corner within her field of vision.

Liuliyuan Lily's body stiffened and she turned her head to look, praying in her heart that it was not a dangerous person. If it was, she would run away immediately.

As a result, her eyes lit up when she saw it: "This is not it!!!"

In the alley, Qian Xiaoyi and Inuyama Heita were on their way to Huangquanwu, but as soon as they turned a corner, they saw a girl in a baseball cap rushing towards them.

"Enemy?" Inuyama Heita and Qian Xiaoyi became alert. They had sensed the presence of people nearby and thought they were colleagues who were also going to Huangquan House to watch the battle, so they didn't take it seriously. But now they had to be on guard. Qian Xiaoyi had already put his hand in his bag, ready to take out the copper coin sword.

"Mr. Qian! You are Mr. Qian, right?" The girl said happily, "I didn't expect to meet you here!"

Qian Xiaoyi was stunned and asked suspiciously: "Miss, have we met before?"

Ruriin Yuri said excitedly, "No, but I have seen your show! The fun of Horror Night GO has been greatly reduced without you. Everyone is discussing why you are not on the show anymore. I heard online that you were squeezed out by Suzuna-chan? Workplace struggle?"

Looking at this little girl, Qian Xiaoyi was a little surprised. He actually had a young girl fan?! He thought that people who liked to watch that kind of show were all dark and second-year students like Terao Yu?
"Well..." Qian Xiaoyi replied, "It's not because of her. It's mainly because my main job is still an exorcist, so I'm usually busy, so I declined."

"Eh? What a pity~" Liuliyuan Lily said regretfully: "Although the current program is still watchable, it doesn't feel the same without your opening credits."

"Ahahahaha~ You're too kind." Qian Xiaoyi felt a little proud, then asked with a smile: "So, you also went to Huangquan House to watch the battle?"

"Yes, I'm going to...watch the game? Yes, that's right." Ruriin Yuri said immediately, "I was originally going to visit Grandpa Ashiya with my...master, but I suddenly couldn't find the way... So where exactly is this place? Is there such a place in Kabukicho?"

When Qian Xiaoyi heard that she knew Ashiya Jisuke and her tone was very intimate, and that this girl did have the aura of a psychic, he believed her words and said, "Here? This is already the spirit world. Did you get separated from your elders? It's really irresponsible to let a newcomer like you run around here. What if something happens?"

Inuyama Heita looked at him blankly: I wonder who did the same thing last year. "Not really..." Ruriin Yuri said awkwardly: "I didn't catch up with him, so I lost my way."

"So the proof of Huangquan House is with your master?" Qian Xiaoyi nodded: "I see. It is indeed difficult to find the place without the token given by Mr. Ashiya. In this case, I will take you there."

Seeing that the little girl seemed to have no experience and it was unsafe to leave her here, Qian Xiaoyi finally took her to the Yellow Spring House.

"Mr. Qian, is Suzuna-chan your girlfriend?"

"No."

"Oh... So is the Halloween special a script? Why did the production team of 'Supernatural Night' cooperate with you so much? Or is Miss Anna your girlfriend? So you guys worked together from the inside and outside..."

"No, neither."

"Mr. Qian, when you first appeared, you helped the police find the missing male owner of the abandoned hotel. Was it through spiritualism? Then can you also summon the souls of those ancient people? For example, Tokugawa Ieyasu and Oda Nobunaga?"

"No."

Along the way, Qian Xiaoyi answered all kinds of gossip questions from this guy with a stern face. At first, he would still use his status as a TV celebrity to answer them properly, but later he became impatient. However, the other party was just a little girl, so he couldn't get angry and could only answer perfunctorily.

If he was feeling proud of having a cute young female fan before, now he was eager to reach his destination quickly and get rid of this troublesome guy.

"Damn it! Brother Otoko gave such a perfunctory answer!" Ken said to Inuyama Heita noisily, "Inuyama, hurry up and say a few words to make amends, otherwise what if such a cute girl is scared away by Brother Otoko's attitude? Come on, maybe someone like you can also have a rosy romance!"

Inuyama Heita curled his lips, reached into his pocket and grasped the jade pendant, choosing to remain silent.

Finally, after a long soul-searching, they finally arrived at the Yellow Springs House. There were already quite a few people standing in the house. Because the gambling had not started yet, everyone took the opportunity to chat and the atmosphere was very lively.

"Wow~ Is this the Yellow Spring House?" After entering, Liuliyuan Lily looked around curiously and said, "It looks quite ordinary, just like an izakaya that can be found everywhere."

Qian Xiaoyi breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Yes, we are here. Where is your master? I'll take you there."

"Um..." Liuliyuan Lily had already seen her father sitting in the corner with his back to her, wearing a bamboo hat and looking like he didn't want anyone to approach him. She smiled awkwardly and said, "I've already seen him, so I won't bother you anymore. I'll just go around and look around by myself..."

As she was about to slip away, she took a step and found that she could not move. She looked down and found that her body had been tied up with thin black ropes without her knowing when, and she could not move.

"Please make way." Qian Xiaoyi knew what was going on with this guy. He dragged the struggling Liuliyuan Lily to the figure in the corner and said, "Master, is this your disciple?"

Liuliyuan Hongming was reciting scriptures with his head down and eyes closed. He looked up and said in surprise: "Lily?!"

"Ahahaha..." Liuliyuan Lily said awkwardly: "Dad, why are you here too?"
