Catalogue of forbidden Taoist techniques

"Lingjun... is as handsome as Yukinoshita-san."

Yuigahama Yui also spoke softly.

Hikigaya Hachiman agreed with this assessment.

Although he felt that the two people might not be similar in their inner qualities, their expressions were so similar, and he was pulled into the same club by Shizuka Hiratsuka, so he had to say it was fate.

"I envy their style. They are straightforward and don't do superficial work. They don't cater to anyone and just speak their mind frankly," Yuigahama Yui said, looking at the night sky in the void. Her voice was so ethereal that it seemed to be out of this world. "But I also know that I can only envy them, but I can't become them..."

Hikigaya Hachiman wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know where to start:

Because it is an obvious fact.

Even if Yuigahama Yui spends her entire life, she will never be able to become Yukinoshita Yukino.

"But being an idiot has its advantages, right? Look at that girl, she doesn't have any friends at all. She must be sitting alone in a corner, no one talks to her. But don't you have Miura and Ebina as your friends all day long?"

"nausea!"

Yuigahama Yui suddenly blushed and cursed Hikigaya Hachiman.

"Wait! Why am I being told that?"

"You must have secretly watched me from time to time, right?"

"I can't help it. You're so conspicuous!"

"Humph, I forgive you."

Hikigaya Hachiman had no idea what was going on in these girls' minds. They were furious one moment and turned their heads away shyly the next, as if they were afraid of being seen by others.

"But even so..."

"Even so?"

Hikigaya Hachiman heard her soft voice which sounded unusually thin in this noisy place, so he couldn't help wanting to hear it more clearly, but she just shook her head, and then, as if to cheer herself up, she checked the time on her phone and saw that the fireworks display was about to begin, so they looked for an empty place. However, they didn't bring anything to put their butts under, so they could only move around in the crowd. In the end, they didn't find a suitable place because the places with fewer people they found had been separated by cloth strips.

Apparently it's the kind of place that requires a ticket to enter.

But one - or two - people they weren't expecting showed up.

"Isn't that Hikigaya-san?"

Yukinoshita Haruno's voice suddenly rang out.

Hikigaya Hachiman turned around and saw the female college student in a noble and elegant dark blue kimono sitting in the middle of the area separated by the cloth. Her figure was particularly eye-catching in the night, and she was not inferior to the young man next to her.

Although the boy was actually only dressed in a simple white shirt and black casual pants.

However, anyone could see that even if the boy was wearing tattered beggar's clothes, he still had a peculiar aura and could always easily attract everyone's attention, but he seemed to care about nothing.

Only then did Hikigaya Hachiman realize what Ling Wuji meant by his previous words.

It was obvious that it was Yukinoshita Haruno who was waiting for him, not him waiting for someone else.

When the female college student saw them, she thought for a moment, then walked over and signaled to the guard patrolling nearby that the two middle school students were her friends. So Hikigaya Hachiman and Yuigahama Yui did not need tickets to enter the area separated by cloth that was only accessible to the "privileged class".

"Um, Yukino didn't come?"

While Yukinoshita Haruno was leading them to their seats, Yuigahama Yui kept looking around, but when she didn't see the familiar figure, she couldn't help but ask.

"I am usually the one who handles this kind of situation, but I can't say for sure now. However, I think she is not very used to this kind of situation, so let's just let her stay at home for now."

With Yuigahama Yui's brain, she could only think that Yukinoshita Yukino didn't like such occasions where there were so many people, so she stayed at home. But Hikigaya Hachiman thought a little more. He was keenly aware of the sensitive issue of the heir to the Yukinoshita family, and then noticed that Yukinoshita Haruno said, "It's different now." So what exactly is different?

His gaze shifted to the young man who had been sitting there lazily.

At this time, he also heard the young man say absentmindedly: "However, with her personality, is she really suitable to inherit your family? If she is really allowed to take charge of your Yukinoshita family's business, she will definitely be a mess in politics, regardless of business matters."

"So what do you think we should do?"

"How should I know what she will do?"

Even if she drowned with her ideals in mind, he would just stand on the shore and laugh at her.

"But I heard from Xiaojing that you are planning to support her to become the Prime Minister of Japan?"

From the look on Yukinoshita Haruno's face, it was hard to tell whether the two were joking or serious.

"It's not uncommon for Japanese prime ministers to be ousted after serving for just a few months..."

Ling Wuji was just speaking casually.

Although he also knew that a family that had produced a prime minister was definitely not on the same level as a family that had not produced a prime minister.

This is just like the aristocratic families of the Wei and Jin dynasties. Once someone sat in a certain position, it meant that the upper limit of his family had reached that level. So when the Nine-Rank System was used to evaluate the descendants of his family, the upper limit would be raised to the rank required for that position. Even earlier, the formation of the Eastern Han gentry had already followed this practice. The descendants of a family that had produced a 2,000-stone official could often also achieve the 2,000-stone rank.

From this perspective, Japan is truly a feudal country.

Of course, if you really look into it, no matter where you are, the transfer of power between families has never been truly cut off; it’s just a matter of who does it more covertly.

Some people once wanted to launch an unprecedented revolution to end this transmission, but in the end it only proved that ideals cannot defeat reality.

The two middle school students next to them could only look at each other in bewilderment when they heard their increasingly outrageous conversation. They even felt as if they had strayed into some strange place, just like Alice in Wonderland, so Yuigahama Yui couldn't help but interrupt the two and asked, "Um, Yukino, are you planning to be a politician in the future?"

"politician?"

Ling Wuji couldn't help laughing.

"Is there anything...strange?"

Yuigahama Yui couldn't help but touch the ball on her head.

"Nothing, I just wonder how many people are truly qualified to be called politicians?"

The conversation was inadvertently brought by Ling Wuzhi to a realm that Yuigahama Yui could not understand.

"Even if you are a political animal who acts only on instinct, that doesn't mean you can't be the Prime Minister of Japan, right? Look, even Aso once was..."

Yukinoshita Haruno said bluntly.

"Yes, so there are too few people who are truly qualified to be called politicians," Ling Wuji couldn't help but imagine the scene where Yukinoshita Yukino really became the Prime Minister of Japan, then shook his head and said, "And if the one in your family really made it to that position, I'm afraid he would be similar to Wang Mang or Wang Anshi in Chinese history, or even worse than them."

When Yukinoshita Haruno heard Ling Wuji say that, she immediately imagined it and nodded: "It sounds like something that is likely to happen..."

"that……"

For someone like Yuigahama Yui who didn't learn Japanese history very well, she didn't know either Wang Mang or Wang Anshi that these two people mentioned, so this conversation was like a heavenly book to her, but she still tried hard to hear it, wanted to remember it, so that she could "tell" Yukinoshita Yukino——

Although from Hikigaya Hachiman's perspective, no matter what she did, it would be useless.

Moreover, he didn't think Ling Wuji was the kind of person who wouldn't dare to say this to his face because of considerations for his feelings.

But actually, saying this seems quite cruel to the girl.

"Well... I think what Yukino wants to do should be up to her, right? I think."

Yuigahama Yui seemed to have seen through Hikigaya Hachiman's inner thoughts and said those words awkwardly.

Then Yukinoshita Haruno turned around and looked at her carefully, then smiled again and said, "Yuigahama-san seems to like Yukino very much."

"Yes, I like her very much. She is honest and upright, handsome and cute..." The pink-haired girl pieced together words intermittently in response to the straightforward words of the female college student, "So, I hope that Xue No can do what she likes to do, instead of carrying some inexplicable expectations and letting others arrange her future life without authorization..."

Ling Wu Ji looked at Yukinoshita Haruno.

Then he touched his chin and said, "From this perspective, I do seem like the villain who manipulates other people's lives casually, arranging her life without asking for her opinions, although I am not uninterested in her life either."

"Yes...really?"

When Yuigahama Yui heard this, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

She had always been self-righteous and thought that these two people were a good match.

However, if Ling Wuji knew what she was thinking, he would probably just sigh at how horrible CP fans are.

"In short, just like you said, what she wants to do in the future is indeed her own business, but I think she may not really know what she wants to do. She is probably just used to treating her as an opponent and used to competing with her." Ling Wuzhi pointed at Yukinoshita Haruno who was sitting next to him and said.

"Speaking of which, if I were you, I would rather have no place to sit than accept her invitation."

After everyone was in an awkward situation where they had nothing to say, Ling Wu Ji suddenly spoke.

"why?"

Yuigahama Yui asked back without any hesitation.

"Because for you, going to a place like this to attend a fireworks display is all about creating some unique and precious memories, right? But by accepting her invitation, you've mixed impurities like me into this memory, and you don't even know if you should be worried about whether your best friend's life will be manipulated by others. If you didn't know about this, wouldn't it be easier for you?"

Yuigahama Yui was a little confused, and couldn't help but look at Hikigaya Hachiman.

Hikigaya Hachiman said: "But no matter what, knowing the truth is better than not knowing it, right?"

Although he doesn't think that Yukinoshita Yukino is his close friend.

Even his motivation for going to such a place was not to create any precious memories.

But he still couldn't help but want to refute Ling Wuji's words.

"Well, sometimes, being ignorant and unaware is actually a kind of happiness..."

Ling Wuji thought about it and decided to use an example from the secular side to illustrate this point, so he racked his brains, and then couldn't help but think of the subtle relationship between him and Yuigahama Yui, and then he thought of who was next to Hayama Hayato?

It was on the night when they stayed in the mountains during the summer practice activity that he confessed the fact that he liked the fujoshi Ebina Hime.

Therefore, Ling Wuzhi felt that sooner or later the relationship between the two small teams centered on Hayato Hayama and Yumiko Miura would become distant because of his little thoughts, because no matter whether his confession was successful or not, the subtle atmosphere between the two small teams would definitely deviate because of the change in his relationship with that fujoshi. There is no doubt about this. Even if we take a step back and say that Tobe Sho succeeded and Hayato Hayama could suppress this change, it is still unknown whether Yumiko Miura would choose to confess to Hayato Hayama because of the change in his relationship with Hina Ebina.

However, Ling Wuji was not sure whether he could accurately mention that person's thoughts in such an occasion.

It doesn't matter if Yukinoshita Haruno hears it.

But it would be bad if Yuigahama Yui heard it.

So Ling Wuji hinted at Hubu Xiang's name in an obscure way.

When Hikigaya Hachiman heard Ling Wuzhi say that, he was a little unsure for a moment whether he was hinting at the equally subtle relationship between him and Yuigahama Yui, so he remained silent.

In the end, the pink-haired girl could only look at the fireworks blooming in the night sky in confusion, and then left the occasion in confusion under the arrangement of Ling Wuzhi and Yukinoshita Haruno, took the train with Hikigaya Hachiman, and started her journey home.

Yukinoshita Haruno and Ling Wuji watched the two people go away, and then the female college student said: "I didn't expect that you, Lingjun, would care about such things..."

"What kind of thing?"

"It's about the closeness and distance between adolescent boys and girls."

"I can't say." Ling Wuji just shook his head.
