The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 582: Battle for Ajian (23)

"Long time no see, Miss Tachibana." Qian Xiaoyi sat on the sofa opposite and greeted her warmly, "What a rare guest. Have you finished your work in the United States?"

Excluding the commission money from Shichijo Masato that Xiaoyi didn't dare to take, in his eyes, Miss Tachibana was the real moneymaker. She gave the commission money of 10 million without any delay, so she must be treated well.

"Mr. Qian, you can just call me Mio." Tachibana Mio said in a relaxed tone, holding a teacup. "Although the result is not the best, the lawsuit will probably take a long time and may not succeed in the end, but Sakura and her parents are fine, which is a blessing... I have brought them back to Japan. Without Mr. Qian's help, I would not have been able to do this... Anyway, thank you very much!"

She put down her teacup, stood up and bowed deeply.

Seeing how serious Tachibana Mio was, Qian Xiaoyi waved his hand and said, "Ms. Tachibana...Mio, I'll call you that. You can also just call me Xiaoyi. After all, this is just my job. I didn't do anything. Aren't most of the work of exposing Lai Shan's success done by you and Nanajo Masato? There's no need to be like this."

"But Xiaoyi, your job is an exorcist. It is not your responsibility to investigate this case." Tachibana Mio smiled and said, "But you still did this for those innocent people... I saw it with my own eyes. You have been fighting those things in the WTV building, right? Compared to us, you who risked your life to fight monsters are the one who should be thanked the most.

In everyone's eyes, Masato and I became heroes, but no one knew that you were the one who contributed the most... So I am thanking you on behalf of the victims who were rescued... Thank you so much."

As she spoke, she bowed again.

Qian Xiaoyi scratched his head: "Okay, okay, stop saying these cheesy words. I'm not used to this kind of occasion. Let's not do this between us acquaintances..."

Tachibana Mio straightened up, covered her mouth and laughed, "So Xiaoyi, are you this type? Tsundere?"

Qian Xiaoyi didn't pick up the topic. He said, "Anyway, I hope there's no problem on your end. Although I can't help you with other things, if you encounter any weird things, just come to me. I can serve you as an after-sales service."

Tachibana Mio suddenly became a little embarrassed: "Well... Actually, besides coming to visit you this time, I do need your help with something..."

"Hmm? What's the matter?" Qian Xiaoyi was alert. He had to coax this important customer. He asked, "Did you have any sequelae after the last time?"

Qian Xiaoyi asked this question because Tachibana Mio was lured into Lai Shanchenggong's ghost domain and taken hostage when she was in the WTV building. If Qian Xiaoyi hadn't kept a backup plan and asked Suzuki to keep an eye on her, she would have almost lost her life.

"It's not that kind of thing..." Tachibana Mio seemed a little embarrassed to say: "It's... a problem with emotions."

Qian Xiaoyi was a little puzzled: "Uh...relationships? If you have any questions about that, I can recommend someone to you. You know the bar where we met last Christmas? The owner Maria is a very nice person and is very good at giving advice on these matters..."

"No one else can do this..." Tachibana Mio said with a blushing face, "Only you can do this."

Qian Xiaoyi pointed at his nose and asked, "Me? This is a bit unexpected... Well, forget it, just tell me directly. Although I'm not a psychologist, I run an office after all, and I won't leak the client's information easily." "Then I'll tell you..." Tachibana Mio hesitated for a long time, then said, "Actually... my family wants me to marry into another family..."

Qian Xiaoyi nodded: "Well, marriage? It's quite common among the upper class... So you naturally don't want to marry someone you've never met? Then, what do you want me to do? Tell me in advance, if you want me to use spells or something to harm someone..."

"That's not the case! Really, listen to me~" Tachibana Mio interrupted Qian Xiaoyi, took a deep breath, and said: "The other party... the other party is Masato-kun. Now Masato-kun's grandfather has fallen into a coma. My father wants to take advantage of the situation and control the entire consortium through marriage with the Shichijo Foundation. I feel that this is despicable... And most importantly, Masato-kun and I are just friends who fight side by side. I really don't mean that."

Qian Xiaoyi asked: "So...what do you want me to do? Is there anything that only I can do?"

Tachibana Mio clasped her hands together and pleaded, "I heard from my father that the Nanajyo Foundation has already agreed, and they have already started planning the engagement... Maybe Masato-kun has some misunderstandings about our relationship, but I really don't mean that. However, I am embarrassed to reject him directly. You and Masato-kun are also good friends, right? So can you help convey my meaning?"

"I thought it was something else~" Qian Xiaoyi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't one of those ridiculous and clichéd romance plots. Those plots were complicated and confusing, and he didn't want to get involved in that kind of thing.

Facing this big customer, he patted his chest and said, "Leave this little thing to me! Besides, I have something to look for him recently. I know what this guy is busy with recently. How can he have time to arrange a marriage? I guess it's someone around him who is messing around. Don't worry, I will definitely explain this matter to him clearly."

"That would be great." Tachibana Mio breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew it was right to come to you, Xiaoyi."

Qian Xiaoyi took out his cell phone and said, "I won't wait any longer. I'll call him right now."

Soon, the call was connected, and the other end asked, "Xiao Yi? What's the matter?"

Hearing this voice, it seemed that the other party seemed a little weak, but Qian Xiaoyi didn't care. He smiled without any strangeness and said, "Hey, how are you getting along with Ajian recently? That guy must be very troublesome, right?"

"He..." Nanajo Masato paused and said, "He is very good and helped me a lot. Thank you for not stopping me in this matter."

The other party's tone was a bit stiff. When Qian Xiaoyi heard this, his brows furrowed. Under normal circumstances, with Ajian's troublesome personality, Qijiao Zhengren would never praise him like this...

Moreover, he was so polite, not complaining about Qian Xiaoyi's inhumanity, which showed that Qijiao Zhengren had begun to distance himself from him and no longer needed his help. So now there was only one possibility, that is, Qijiao Zhengren had already started to take action in advance and used Ajian to remove the curse.

"In other words... you and Ajian have already started to act?" Qian Xiaoyi asked in surprise: "Are you in such a hurry? Although I don't know your situation very well, if you want to use Ajian to remove those curses in such a short time, it is still very risky. I suggest you..."

"That's enough!" Nanajo Masato said coldly, "I don't have time! Those who don't want to help me, please shut up! Stop pretending to be a good person!"
