Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

If it were him, and someone dared to scheme against him like that, he would probably kill the person on the spot.

Even if they can't win, they will definitely feel dissatisfied.

However, Higa Kotoko felt nothing. She was only excited and appreciative of Tanigumo's actions, just like an older sister would look at her talented younger brother.

"What exactly is going on with her?"

After Higa Kotoko left, Tanigumo asked Tsujibagi and Miyako.

"Did you see that?"

Tsubagi said, "That's why I told her to come directly to you."

Higa Kotoko was eager to find talented people. She was like Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms period, who was not ashamed to ask questions and visited Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage three times, all to persuade those folk masters to come out of seclusion and help her.

How could someone like that not be excited to see Gu Yun?

As the saying goes, "Having seen the vast ocean, one finds it hard to be impressed by mere rivers; having beheld the clouds of Wushan, one finds other clouds pale in comparison."

Having seen a powerful figure like Gu Yun, how could Higa Kotoko possibly leave?

The girl would not give up until she persuaded him to come out of seclusion.

"Her situation is a bit complicated, isn't it?"

"Ah."

Gu Yun had been using his spiritual vision to observe Higa Kotoko, and he discovered that she seemed to be harboring some extremely evil power within her.

But this wasn't Higa Kotoko's problem; it was the Dohan clan that forcibly instilled power into her.

"That is the power of an evil god."

Tsubaki said, "She was too hasty. In order to invite folk exorcists, she used powerful spiritual energy again and again, and she was too young."

If Higa Kotoko were in her mid-twenties, or even thirties, with her peak spiritual power, she might be able to suppress the disturbances caused by the evil god's power.

"Kotoko is a good girl."

Miyako said, "Gu Yun, if you have a way, please help her."

"There is indeed a solution."

Gu Yun wouldn't refuse a family member's request. He said, "It might be a bit radical, but I hope she can handle it."

Kotoko Higa is not a bad person, and she has never hurt anyone.

From a standpoint of perspective, she stands on the side of humanity, protecting humankind as a clergyman.

Moreover, Gu Yun saw even more through mind-reading.

For example, Kotoko's younger sister, Makoto, and how she sacrificed herself for him, taking on the mission of the Dohan clan.

Loyal and righteous, with a broad mind.

Shiro Tsubagi is right; such a person deserves help both morally and logically.

"I just hope that she will be grateful for my help."

Gu Yun said, "Going down the mountain is too much trouble."

Gu Yun didn't ask for anything in return; he just wanted Higa Kotoko to give him face and not to spread his skills around so that he could live a peaceful life.

"I've kept you waiting for a long time."

As they were talking, Higa Kotoko had already changed into her shrine maiden outfit.

"The head of the Daofan clan is Higa Kotoko."

Higa Kotoko knelt before the crowd: "Greetings to everyone of the Iijima school."

At this very moment, in the dojo of the Tanigumo family, Higa Kotoko had her back to the door, with Tanigumo, Iijima Tamaki, Hiratsuka Shizuka, Tsubaki Shiro, Miyako, and Uncle Doma sitting in front of her.

Seeing Higa Kotoko nod, everyone politely returned the bow to show their courtesy and respect.

"Iijima Tanigumo".

Gu Yun introduced, "This is my mother, Tamaki Iijima, and my fiancée, Shizuka Hiratsuka."

"Hey?"

Jing Ke was a little surprised, but as quick-witted as she was, she immediately understood that Gu Yun was supporting her.

So he stood tall and proud.

"???"

Kotoko Higa didn't quite understand Shizuka's cute reaction, but she still nodded to her.

“Teacher Tsubagi, I’ve met you before.”

“In addition, Miss Miyako and I are old acquaintances,” Higa Kotoko then looked at Ashiya Doma: “And Mr. Doma, your name is quite famous in Tokyo.”

"Miss Kotoko, you're too kind."

Even Uncle Daomo blushed a little at such flattery.

Those who are family know their own affairs. He is Gu Yun's agent, and he was just running errands for those exorcisms.

"Miss Kotoko's goal is to get me to join the Exorcist Association, right?"

Not only Gu Yun, but also Higa Kotoko, seeing Tsubagi and Miyako, hoped that they would join the Exorcist Association as well.

"Yes, Teacher Gu Yun."

"Teacher" is a respectful term used in Japan to address talented individuals; it is considered polite language.

The fact that Higa Kotoko could call a boy younger than herself "teacher" undoubtedly expressed her attitude: "You must have already heard about my thoughts from Tsubagi-senpai, right?"

"A ghost story?"

Gu Yun said, "Forgive my frankness, but I do not have the heart to help the world."

"Of course!"

Higa Kotoko nodded and said, "Everyone has their own ideas, and I will not force others to do things my way."

"in addition…"

Kotoko Higa looked at Tamaki Iijima. Before she came, she had thoroughly investigated the Iijima family.

I didn't know that at first; I just thought they shared the same surname.

However, this investigation almost gave Higa Kotoko a cold sweat.

Iijima is indeed Iijima. Gu Yun is actually the eldest son of the Iijima family, the future head of the Iijima Group, and a top figure among the top in the political and capital circles of Japan.

If this were ancient Japan, Tanigumo could be considered a shogun.

Even at the peak of the Dao Fan clan, such important figures had to be treated with respect and dared not act presumptuously.

Inviting him to join the Exorcist Association is like an emperor joining the Imperial Guard. What merit does she, Bi Jiaqinzi, possess to dare utter such a brainless statement?

"Oh, so you're not stupid after all."

Seeing that the timing was perfect, Iijima Tamaki instantly unleashed her domineering CEO aura: "Since you know my identity, then let's not talk about having Gu Yun join this Exorcist Association anymore."

How could an owner become a dog trainer?

"I'm so sorry."

Kotoko Higa is not experienced enough, so she is not good at dealing with financial tycoons like Tamaki Iijima: "I just hope that the Iijima family can support the association politically and do their part when the association is in trouble."

The Iijima family is the official entity, and the Exorcist Association is also an official organization.

Their actions and interests are basically aligned.

After all, the Iijima family didn't want ghost stories to cause widespread suffering, and with Kakoto willing to lead the charge, there was nothing better.

Higa Kotoko could look down on the other bureaucrats; they were just a bunch of ordinary people.

But Tamaki Iijima has Tanigumo standing behind her.

She herself is a psychic, someone who knows the truth about the exorcism world.

From any perspective, Higa Kotoko is inferior to the Iijima family: "However, the Ten Famous Families have no direct connection with the Exorcist Association, and it is only natural that the Iijima family is among the Ten Famous Families given their strength."

"Therefore, if Master Gu Yun is willing to come out of seclusion, Higa Kotoko is willing to serve the Iijima family as the head."

In other words, Higa Kotoko will relinquish her position as the head of the Ten Famous Families to the Iijima family.

"The Iijima family doesn't need to be compared to other families."

Before Iijima Tamaki could speak, Gu Yun gave Higa Kotoko a direct answer: "What's more, there are nine of them!"

"this…"

Kotoko Higa was caught off guard by the sudden arrogant remarks and attitude.

"Let the battle begin."

“During that period, neither of us won nor lost.”

Gu Yun stepped forward and sat down a meter in front of Higa Kotoko: "Since you're a guest from afar, Miss Kotoko, you can decide the rules of the duel. So, how does Miss Kotoko plan to compete?"

'Kaku-ichi!'

Hiratsuka Shizuka and Iijima Tamaki watched as Taniguchi overwhelmed Higa Kotoko with his imposing presence, secretly cheering on their childhood friend (son).

"I've heard that the Iijima family possesses a powerful divine control technique."

Seeing Gu Yun's directness, Higa Kotoko knew that if she couldn't defeat Gu Yun in magic, it would be useless even if she knelt down and begged him.

Fortunately, the positions of both sides determined the basis for cooperation.

Kotoko Higa served the government, and the Iijima family itself was part of the government.

They have no conflict of interest; on the contrary, they should join hands and face the impending wave of ghost stories together.

Therefore, today's contest is no longer about Higa Kotoko asking Gu Yun to come out of seclusion, but about showing the other party the value of the Exorcist Association and the Ten Famous Sects.

She represents the Ten Famous Families, therefore, she cannot afford to lose!

"Oh~~"
