Without waiting for Uesugi Kiyoshi's answer, she nodded quickly and answered her own question.

"Oh, yes, you are going to do something today, investigating the rain. What? Are you in trouble?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi shrugged and shook his head, "It's okay. The agents of the Collectibles Association are quite capable and the intelligence is very useful. There are many suspicious points, so we just need to check them one by one."

"I'm not here for this - Fuyao, do you know anything about [Gods]?"

Li Fuyao didn't seem surprised by this question.

"Qing, you have to understand that all the [supernormal] in this world are based on spiritual strength. Or to be more thorough, whether one is supernormal or not is a difference in the soul. Even martial arts practitioners who excel in physical strength must use faith to drive supernormal power and feed back physical strength."

"The same is true for gods."

"Originally, there were no gods in this world. When a certain extraordinary person received a certain level of reverence and worship, their dream world changed and broke through the barrier of [humanity]. Their vision became very high. In their eyes, the dreams of many people turned into stars. The entire dream world that encompassed all living beings became the sea of ​​stars in their hearts."

"Through faith, many dream mirrors like stars are connected to one person, and the various extraordinary powers gather and are refined and purified by him, becoming a power of a higher level than the common extraordinary powers - that power is called [divine power]."

"This is the origin of the original gods. Especially in Japan, everything can be a god, which makes sense. As long as there are people who believe in them, the gods will last forever. Famous daimyo, emperors, generals, demons in the mountains and even unique weather phenomena in history can also give birth to the prototype of gods after receiving sacrifices and beliefs from humans."

Li Fuyao lightly covered her red lips and yawned, her eyes were leisurely and her words were meaningful.

"Gods are not necessarily all very powerful, but they all have difficult methods."

"The Lord of the East Light who was slain by your sword that day was, after all, a human who became a god. Before he was worshipped as the Great God of the East Light, his strength was average and his level was limited. He only existed as a leader. His methods were crude and he couldn't even use the body of a god. It was his fate that he was killed by you with one blow."

"But not all gods are that weak."

"Oh, by the way, the linkers among the extraordinary ones are actually the prototypes of gods. The source of their abilities is similar to faith and the like, so I don't recommend you to link with the heroic spirit, even if it will temporarily improve your strength."

"Qing, only when you are strong yourself can you be truly strong."

If Uesugi Kiyoshi remembered correctly, this was the second time Li Fuyao said this.

He nodded thoughtfully. This trip was not in vain. Now the concept of God had already taken shape in his mind.

Gathering faith and turning it into strength, they are not necessarily all strong, but they all have formidable methods.

It sounds like nothing.

The already dull reverence for the gods in Uesugi Kiyoshi's heart had completely vanished.

He glanced at the clock on the wall, and Uesugi Kiyoshi suddenly said, "I'm going to go shopping in Arakawa District. Do you want to come with me?"

Li Fuyao's eyebrows immediately curved up, with a somewhat ambiguous smile on his face, and he said softly: "Oh, is this a date invitation? It's really sudden~"

Uesugi Qing smiled bitterly and wanted to say something, but was unfortunately blocked again.

"I really want to agree, but I can't today."

"My mother came to Tokyo from Kyoto to visit me. I haven't been with her for a few days. She has to go back to Kyoto this afternoon. I have to have lunch with her at noon. I don't have time today."

After giving a simple reason, Li Fuyao rummaged through the desk, took out an ancient, old, thread-bound manuscript, and handed it to Uesugi Kiyoshi.

"Yes, this is compensation."

"Aren't you looking for the Three Heroes of Genji?"

"This book should help you."

You can vaguely see some blurry words on the cover of the book.

The Tale of Edo Genji.

Chapter 165 Mother-in-law visits son-in-law

"The Tale of Genji" is a book, a long novel written by Murasaki Shikibu, one of the three great talented women of the Heian period. Uesugi Kiyoshi has read some of it.

But if the word "Edo" was added in front of it, he had never heard of it.

The ancient Edo is now the Tokyo area.

He roughly flipped through a few pages. The contents of the book were incomplete, but it looked like a diary.

He put the book away and planned to go back and take a closer look at it. Uesugi Kiyoshi thanked him sincerely.

"Thank you very much. In that case, I will leave first. Please give my regards to my aunt for me."

After Li Fuyao nodded, Uesugi Kiyoshi said goodbye and went out, planning to deal with today's work first.

He had just walked out of the door and had only taken a few steps when he saw a black car slowly stop in front of him.

The driver's window rolled down, and Ye San's familiar face appeared in front of Uesugi Qing. He had a strange smile on his face and gave Uesugi Qing a look that said "May you be lucky".

Before Uesugi Kiyoshi could react to what was happening, the passenger door opened and Li Taisui came out wearing a dark Tang suit. He glanced at Uesugi Kiyoshi from the side and snorted coldly, ignoring him. Instead, he politely opened an umbrella and opened the door to the back seat of the car.

A beautiful lady wearing furisode and as gentle as water was helped out of the car by Li Taisui, revealing her true face.

Shangshan Qing's mind paused, and when he saw the face that looked 70% similar to Li Fuyao, he came to the conclusion instantly.

This is Li Fuyao’s mother, right?

I heard Youyi mention that this person seems to be a young lady from a big family, her name is Fenghuangyuan Ningning?

Well, it should be. Looking at the deep affection in Li Taisui's eyes towards this beauty, Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded affirmatively.

He did not just stand there in a daze. Instead, he walked forward in the rain, bowed, and performed the salute as a junior.

"Hello, Taisui Lord. I was injured recently and had a lot of things to do. I was unable to come and thank you. Please don't blame me."

Uesugi Kiyoshi was referring to the incident where Taisui sent people to help him.

Then, he turned his gaze to Ning Ning from the Phoenix Courtyard, and his tone became softer and more respectful.

"Hello, auntie. Nice to meet you. I'm Uesugi Kiyoshi, a friend of Fuyao. I'm very grateful for her care."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Taisui snorted heavily again.

"There's no need to come to my house to express your gratitude. The farther away from my house the better. It's best if you never come here again!"

How could he have hidden the fact that Uesugi Kiyoshi had been staying at the Baiwen Pavilion to watch over Li Fuyao recently? He was filled with anger, feeling that his juicy cabbage was about to be eaten away by this cunning little pig, and he was very depressed!

As soon as the words fell, the cold snort turned into a muffled hum.

Uesugi Kiyoshi saw that Fenghuangyuan Ningning's slender hands naturally touched Li Taisui's waist, and then turned 180 degrees.

He felt pain just looking at it!

After giving Li Taisui a silent glare, the smile on Fenghuangyuan Ningning's face became more friendly.

She took a step forward, looked at Shangshan Qing carefully, and said softly: "Ah, you are Shangshan Jun, I often hear Fuyao mention you."

"Fuyao's father is a man who doesn't know how to talk and has a weird temper. Don't take it to heart, he was just joking. Whenever you have time, you are welcome to visit our home. If you have the chance, it would be nice to go to Kyoto with Fuyao. The scenery in Kyoto is completely different from that in Tokyo and is worth seeing."

"Shangshan-kun is indeed a handsome man. Are you here to look for Fuyao? Will I disturb you? Um. Shangshan-kun, are you free at noon today? Do you want to have a simple meal together?"

Ningning of Fenghuangyuan has a completely different attitude towards Uesugi Kiyoshi than Li Taisui.

Part of the reason was that she knew that once Li Fuyao had chosen someone, he would not change his mind easily. Her daughter was obviously deeply in love with this young man, so this man was most likely her future son-in-law.

The more important reason is that she has read Uesugi Kiyoshi's resume these days. To be fair, in the whole of Tokyo, he can be considered excellent.

She made her judgment from the perspective of a transcendent being.

Moreover, there would have been subtle differences in the father's and mother's attitudes towards their daughter's boyfriend, and this was now fully reflected.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was startled by the sudden enthusiasm, but he did not act rudely and responded immediately.

"Thank you for your kindness, Auntie. I have work to do today, so I'm afraid I'll waste your kindness. Next time if I have the chance, I will definitely visit you in Kyoto."

Phoenix Courtyard Ningning did not insist. She smiled and nodded, agreeing: "Well, for boys, career is more important, but there are many other things, don't ignore them."

"Uesugi-kun has already started his own business at such a young age. This is rare. I have had dealings with the parents of the child from the Akutagawa family. I have also dealt with the two from the Kudo family before. They are both well-known families with good reputations. It is suitable for you to make more friends. The more friends the better."

"If you encounter any difficulties, let Fuyao contact me. Although the name of Fenghuangyuan is far away in Kyoto, it can still be of some use in Tokyo. Don't hesitate to contact me."

The way the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law really made Uesugi Qing feel a little uneasy. Coupled with Li Taisui's dark face and angry look, Uesugi Qing responded with an awkward smile and a few words, then found an excuse to slip away.

Fenghuangin Ningning smiled and waved to Uesugi Kiyoshi, watching him get into the car. She only looked away when the car disappeared around the corner of the street.

Li Taisui, who was standing next to him, muttered indignantly, "Ningning, you are too nice to that kid!"

"Don't be fooled by his polite appearance. He actually has a lot of sweet talk. He was so pretentious in front of me at the beginning, but he has a lot of bad intentions!"

"Humph, I heard that there are many girls around him. He is obviously a playboy and not a good match for Fuyao!"

Ning Ning from the Phoenix Courtyard stopped smiling, rolled her eyes at Li Taisui, and said lightly, "What? I'm just like you, dumb in words and stubborn as hell, and you're a good kid?"

"I think this kid is good, polite, and looks much better than you. Didn't Master Ye say that he is also quite capable? He should be able to protect Fuyao. He is already in a high position at such a young age. He has many children from big families among his friends, and his master has a force that cannot be underestimated. He is a perfect match for my Fuyao."

"As for the girls around me."

"Humph, didn't I have many suitors when I was in Kyoto? In the end, I eloped with you without telling my family. What, are you dissatisfied with me?"

Ningning from Fenghuangyuan's eyes suddenly became dangerous.

Li Taisui was startled, his back felt cold, and he said anxiously, "No! This is different!"

"What do you know? Being strong isn't necessarily a good thing! That collectibles association isn't necessarily a good place either. This kid isn't as well behaved as he looks!"

Li Taisui was puffing his beard and glaring, looking a little angry.

Ningning from Fenghuangyuan looked at him, curled her lips, and a layer of mist covered her eyes.

"You are cruel to me!"

Li Taisui's heart skipped a beat, and he stiffened his neck and said, "I didn't!"

"You are just mean to me!"

There was already a hint of crying in the voice.

"I don't"

Li Taisui is clearly lacking in confidence.

"Good, good, good!"

"There were so many people pursuing me in Kyoto, but why did I fall for you? I left my hometown to follow you, even abandoned my family, managed your business, and gave birth to children for you. Now I have to be looked down upon when I go home. I have become a person who knows nothing."

Li Taisui's old face immediately fell, and he pleaded: "Ningning, I really didn't..."

"Before I married you, you were so stupid that you could say a few sweet words to coax me. Now that we've been married for so many years, you still treat me like this. In a few years, are you going to divorce me and marry another woman who knows everything?"

"Ningning! Ningning! Don't be angry, I was wrong, I was wrong!"

The arrogance and resentment on Li Taisui's face had long since disappeared, leaving only a flattering smile.
