Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Tsubagi: In my whole life, I've always believed in being practical and not idealistic!

"Hahaha."

Gu Yun could imagine Higa Kotoko's expression at that moment.

She probably never imagined that the Four Heavenly Kings of Wild Fox Zen, who were highly respected among the folk sects, could be so shameless.

As for joining the Exorcist Association if you lose.

Stop kidding, do you think Tsubagi would obediently join?

"Furthermore, even though he lost, he still refused Higa Kotoko's invitation to join the official exorcist association."

See? Just as Gu Yun thought, Tsubagi Shiro is indeed incredibly flamboyant.

When Higa Kotoko challenged him to a duel, Tsubagi let her step over him to rise to the top, since the old thief didn't care about that at all.

Instead, he should be put to work at the Exorcist Association.

Don't even think about it!

"so what?"

Gu Yun could understand Tsubagi's actions; it was very much like his style: "You said something happened, but if it's just this, it shouldn't be that serious, right?"

"Could it be that Higa Kotoko is truly enraged and is about to get serious?"

Although Shiro Tsubaki's actions were somewhat provocative, the Iijima school of thought was inherently casual.

The old scoundrel may be sly, but he didn't actually harm Higa Kotoko.

He simply exposed himself.

If Higa Kotoko were to call for a fight just because of this, then Gu Yun would certainly not allow her to act so recklessly.

"No, this has nothing to do with Kotoko."

After hesitating for a while, Miyako finally made up her mind and told Tanigumo what Tsubagi Shiro had done: "Old man, he sold you out."

"What?!"

Gu Yun looked puzzled: "What do you mean? What do you mean by selling me out? To whom did you sell me out, the Exorcist Association?"

impossible!

Tsubagi Shiro is no one to Tanigumo, so why would he sell Tanigumo?

"This is what happened..."

As Miyako recounted the whole story to Gu Yun, she explained the cause and effect in detail.

At this moment, Gu Yun's face turned completely black.

"Old thief Tsubagi!!"

"You bastard!!!"

Gu Yun has been tricked; he's really been swindled by Tsubagi Shiro this time.

Shiro Tsubaki challenged Kotoko Higa to a duel, but conceded defeat before the duel even began.

At first, Kotoko Higa couldn't understand the old man's behavior at all, because it was just too absurd.

But soon, Higa Kotoko's smile faded.

'Little girl, do you think you're so great?'

'hehe! ’

"Sitting idly by, gazing at the sky, they display the arrogance of the ignorant."

Tsubagi Shiro, in a tone of arrogance never before seen on Higa Kotoko, uttered the words that shocked her beyond belief: "Not to mention anyone else, even my Tanigumo could beat you to a pulp!"

That's right, my Gu Yun is invincible!

Let alone one Higa Kotoko, even ten or a hundred of them wouldn't be a match for that man.

"Where is he?!"

Gu Yun gripped his phone tightly: "Where is that old bastard? Make him come out, I promise I won't kill him!"

"Calm down, Gu Yun, you need to calm down."

Miyako knew so much detail because Higa Kotoko asked her about Tanigumo, wanting to know if he was really that strong.

Senior sister naturally wouldn't betray Gu Yun, so she hesitated and didn't give a clear answer.

However, Higa Kotoko was also a shrewd person. Seeing that Miyako didn't speak frankly, she believed Tsubaki Shiro's words to some extent.

"Sister, do you know Higa Kotoko?"

"Yes, we've met a few times, but we're not very familiar with each other."

Miyako is from the Mitsuchi family, while Higa Kotoko is from the Dohan family; they share a common ancestry.

Senior sister doesn't know Higa Kotoko's true strength, but as young ladies from the same circle, they must have some connection.

They weren't sorcerers or priestesses, but simply young ladies from wealthy families who visited and socialized with each other.

"Also, don't worry, Kotoko didn't tell anyone about your situation."

"The outcome and process of their duel are known only to a few of us."

Kotoko Higa was provoked by Shiro Tsubagi, but the true situation of Tanigumo was unclear, so she couldn't have made a baseless accusation.

In addition, through Miyako, Tanigumo also learned some aspects of Higa Kotoko's personality.

The other party is not a bad person, nor will they bully the weak.

So even if you are provoked or mocked, Higa Kotoko will at most have a fight with you, but she won't hurt you or cause you any trouble afterwards.

"So, she's also a kind and understanding chivalrous person?"

"That bastard, he should have just said he wanted my help. Why did he have to provoke Higa Kotoko?"

Gu Yun didn't blame Tsubagi Shiro for provoking a fight for him. After all, Higa Kotoko would come to visit sooner or later, and their battle was unavoidable; it was only a matter of time.

Moreover, this matter should have been addressed by Gu Yun, who is the sect leader.

Although Shiro Tsubaki is of a higher seniority, family members know their own situation. Tanigumo is the strongest member of the Iijima school.

So, all things considered, it's actually Gu Yun who is inconsiderate of the elderly.

"Master."

Just as Gu Yun and Miyako were criticizing Tsubagi, Hongye pushed open the door and came in: "Old Mr. Tsubagi has arrived."

"..."

Gu Yun thought to himself: This old thief has come to apologize with a bundle of thorns on his back!

"Hu~~"

Thinking of this, Gu Yun calmed down.

Since Tsubagi Shiro dared to come instead of turning around and running away, it means that this matter was definitely not something he did on a whim.

The old thief had a plan, which is why he pushed him out.

"Hey, Little Gu Yun!"

"Long time no see, how are you?"

Upon entering the living room, I saw the old scoundrel Tsubagi admiring a watercolor painting from the Flower and Bird Scroll: "Is there breakfast? I ran to my appointment at dawn and walked such a long way, I'm starving."

Are you sure you're here to apologize and not to take advantage of someone?

"You guy..."

Gu Yun really didn't know what to say about this old guy; he was just too shameless.

But what can you do when they're your elders?

Moreover, Gu Yun felt that Tsubagi must have some purpose in doing this.

Although the old thief is flamboyant, he would never harm his own people.

"Hongye, have Sister Fox prepare breakfast."

Gu Yun then looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka: "Shizuka, what would you like to eat?"

"meat!"

No need to think twice, I, Jingke, am a carnivore!

Soon enough, breakfast was served.

Gu Yun, Hiratsuka Shizuka, and Tsubagi Shiro quietly ate the special dish prepared by the three-tailed fox.

"What's going on?"

Gu Yun asked, "You know my personality; I don't like to show off. Why are you pushing me out here?"

Only a very few people knew of Gu Yun's power, including Tsubagi, Miyako, and Uncle Domo.

As for exorcising spirits on a regular basis, how powerful do you think a level 100 expert can use to deal with a few level 5 or 10 monsters?

This also meant that Gu Yun was not well-known in the exorcism circle, and he was happy to be carefree.

Even for Higa Kotoko's challenge, Gu Yun had already devised a countermeasure.

Let's just give it a quick answer.

When it's almost over, you'll lose the contest.

Like the old thief, Gu Yun didn't care much about his reputation.

Anyway, he was young and weaker than Kakoto, so the latter wouldn't publicize his loss to everyone.

Doing this will not only bring no benefits, but may also lead to accusations from her peers that she is bullying her juniors.

It won't just be Higa Kotoko who loses face; the entire Higa clan will lose face.

'Losing is one thing, but I definitely won't join that Exorcist Association.'

Gu Yun had no interest in such an official organization, and given Higa Kotoko's status and position, she was not qualified to invite Gu Yun to join.

After all, Japan was under the control of the Iijima Group for the next ten years.
