Although he lost to Lu Mingfei in the contest of strength, he perfectly defeated Lu Mingfei in the battle for people's hearts at this moment, teaching this young hero a social experience called anti-fraud.
I believe Lu Mingfei’s teacher will also be grateful to him. Thinking of this, Uesugi Yue laughed heartily again.
But Lu Mingfei, who he imagined to have a frustrated expression, was still smiling at this moment, with no sign of anger after being fooled.
"Master Uesugi Yue, I will definitely eat the free ramen, but I also want your help." Lu Mingfei's voice was extremely firm, as if he was sure that Uesugi Yue would definitely help him.
"Haha, although I may not be able to defeat you in my current physical condition, if I just run away, I have enough physical strength."
Uesugi Yue spoke shamelessly without blushing, and he was even ready to escape at any time.
"Really? You don't care about your son and daughter even if they are Master Uesugi Yue." Lu Mingfei's words were clearly heard by Uesugi Yue.
Uesugi Yue's originally heroic laughter was cut off in an instant, and his pupils widened as he looked at Lu Mingfei beside him.
"What did you say, my child!"
Uesugi Yue suddenly became excited and unconsciously pressed his strength on the dining table. The dining table, which had just survived the battle, finally completed its mission at this moment and eventually broke into sawdust.
But then, Uesugi Yue's emotions calmed down instantly.
It was impossible for him to have children. He didn't want this bloodline filled with sin to be passed on in the first place, so he would take protective measures every time.
Therefore, what Lu Mingfei said could not possibly be the truth.
"It's useless to make up some impossible lies to deceive me. It will only make me more determined not to help you."
There are two soft places in Uesugi Yue's heart that cannot be touched. One is his mother lying in an ownerless grave outside Nanjing, and the other is the family affection that he once had but also lost.
This is Uesugi Yue's weak spot and must not be touched by anyone, otherwise he will face his wrath.
But the sound of firm denial was suppressed in his throat and did not come out. His pupils kept trembling with surprise, as if he had seen a miracle that would never happen.
"Impossible, how is it possible? How could I have...a child?"
Uesugi Yue looked at the photo that Lu Mingfei took out and placed in front of him, his emotions out of control and his speech slurred.
The source of all this was a photo that Lu Mingfei took out, a photo of Yuan Zhisheng, the current head of the Yuan family of the Sheqi Eight Families.
Lu Mingfei didn't say anything, but just took the photo in his hand and showed it to Uesugi Yue.
Then he gently handed the photo to Uesugi Yue. No words were needed at this time. He believed that even if the father and son had never met, the blood in their bodies would tell them the answer when they met for the first time.
Although Uesugi Yue kept trying to refute this fact, there was a firm voice in his heart telling him that this was his child.
But how is this possible!
He obviously didn't have one, and how could Lu Mingfei say that this was his child based on just a photo? Just because the child looked like himself when he was young in a photo.
It's just the same look, the same face, the same eyes, and the same emotions in the eyes, but...
"Of course, it's possible that I'm wrong. In that case, I'll leave first."
Lu Mingfei stood up and pretended to leave.
Uesugi Yue subconsciously grabbed Lu Mingfei who stood up and pretended to leave.
“Is this my child?”
He pulled Lu Mingfei's clothes, but his eyes remained on Yuan Zhisheng's photo. Although this was his doubt, he had already acknowledged this fact in his heart.
"Although I really want to act like a rogue like you, Master Uesugi Yue, I will never be frivolous in this matter."
"This is your child, Yuan Zhisheng, the current head of the Yuan family." Lu Mingfei replied.
"He's my child!"
Uesugi Yue was extremely shocked. He didn't expect that, although he had previously thought that people from the top three of the Eight Snake Families were all fakes, he didn't expect that one of them was actually his child.
"Not only him, the current head of the Uesugi family is also your child, a very beautiful girl."
As Lu Mingfei spoke, he recalled Eiry's appearance in his mind, and his face was full of tenderness.
At the moment, Uesugi Yue was so shocked that he didn't notice Lu Mingfei's expression, otherwise he would have driven Lu Mingfei away like a majestic father driving away Huangmao.
"I have a daughter!" Another shocking news reached Uesugi Yue's ears, and after a moment a look of joy appeared on his face.
"Where is she, no, do you have a photo of her, let me see, I want to see my daughter."
Uesugi Yue asked anxiously, wanting to get Eri's photo from Lu Mingfei.
But Lu Mingfei had no choice, as he didn't have a photo of Eri in his hands.
With Eri's deliberate concealment by the Japanese branch and the help of Princess Kaguya, even EVA could not obtain Eri's photo under such heavy protection.
"I don't have any photos of Eri." Lu Mingfei told the truth, "Eri is now the secret weapon of the Japanese branch, they have hidden her very well."
"Not only that, to be precise, you should have two sons and a daughter." Lu Mingfei corrected Uesugi Yue's misunderstanding.
"Is there another one? Where is he?" Uesugi Yue asked hurriedly. He felt that the emotional fluctuations in his life had never been as huge as they are now.
"Mengguishu, I believe that even though you have been living in seclusion here as a ramen chef for many years, you should be well-informed and know what Mengguishu is in Japan today."
Although Uesugi Yue lived in seclusion as a ramen chef, he still knew something about the news in the mixed-blood world.
Naturally, I know that there are two forces fighting in the Japanese mixed-blood world today. The oldest and largest force is the Snake Eight Families, which represent the old forces of the Japanese mixed-bloods.
Another emerging force is the fierce ghost group composed of ghosts whose bloodlines have reached a critical point. They have grown rapidly in recent years and are the enemies of the Sheqi Eight Clans, secretly fighting against him.
However, according to Sugi Yue's opinion, although the Eight Snake Families have begun to decline in recent years, they will not fall in front of a new emerging force, the Menggui Clan. The demise of the Menggui Clan is only a matter of time.
But one of his children was also among the fierce ghosts, which meant that he was also a ghost.
"Is his bloodline unstable?" Uesugi Yue was a little anxious.
The biggest problem of hybrids is that their bloodline reaches a critical point of instability, which means that this hybrid may become Deadpool at any time and anywhere.
Lose your consciousness and turn into a monster that only knows how to kill.
"No." Lu Mingfei denied Uesugi Yue's guess, and Uesugi Yue's heart was at ease.
"His bloodline is very stable. Just like you, the blood flowing in his body is the royal bloodline among the mixed-races. In other words, your three children all have the royal bloodline of the Eight Snake Families." Lu Mingfei went on to explain for Uesugi Yue.
After hearing Lu Mingfei's explanation, Uesugi Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
A man like himself, who was full of sins and didn't even know the meaning of life, had never thought that one day he would have children, two sons and a daughter.
A sudden emotion suddenly surged into his heart, making him feel that something called happiness was constantly growing in it.
"I never thought that someone like me could have a happy family." Uesugi Yue drank the last sip of wine and looked up at the dim but warm light of the ramen stall.
"But." Lu Mingfei said in a low voice, "Someone wants them to die, to sacrifice their lives to the White King, and to gain the White King's power."
The memories in Lu Mingfei’s mind also went back to the Red Well that day, the cold and bleak rain, himself kneeling on the ground late, and the girl whom he could not save even at the cost of his own life.
And Herzog, who was laughing wildly on the other side.
He had never wanted to kill someone so much before. He wanted to kill Herzog and make him taste all the pain in the world.
"Who is it!" Like a furious King Kong, Uesugi Yue, the underworld overlord who had disappeared, suddenly regained his momentum and was ready to strike like thunder at anyone who dared to hurt his child.
"Herzog!" Lu Mingfei spat out the name he hated the most word by word. "He is also the head of the current Snake Eight Clan, Tachibana Masamune."
"I'm going to kill him." At this moment, Uesugi Yue was cold and ruthless, and his golden eyes that had been extinguished were burning again like flames.
He was not joking, he really planned to go to the Snake Eight Families and kill Tachibana Masamune right now. As the Shadow Emperor, he had the ability to do so.
"This method is not feasible." Lu Mingfei held Uesugi Yue's shoulder, stopping him from rushing directly to the Sheqi Eight Families.
"He is not only the head of the Eight Snake Families, but also the chief general of the Ghost Clan. He could even be anyone." Lu Mingfei explained for Uesugi Yue.
If it was really as simple as killing Tachibana Masamune, he could have flown to the headquarters of the Snake Eight Families and conducted ten trials to ensure that no grass would survive. However, the existence of the shadow warriors made Herzog's true identity confusing.
"He's like a cockroach. We can step on him to death at any time, but we can't guarantee that he's really dead. If we can't be 100% sure that we can kill him, all the anger is meaningless."
"If you don't remove the roots, they will grow again in the spring breeze. Our goal is to cut off the roots, so that he or they will completely disappear from this world and go to hell to dream his sweet dreams. This is the fundamental reason why I need your help."
Lu Mingfei's eyes were deep. He was not angry, but his dark pupils reflected a cold murderous intent.
Uesugi took a deep breath, stood up and turned off the dim light of the ramen stall, "What do you need me to do?"
He finally agreed to Lu Mingfei's request, and did so willingly.
"Return to the Eight Snake Families and seize the position of the head of the family, and I will deal with the king of the fierce ghosts." Lu Mingfei looked at the misty night of Tokyo, his blazing golden pupils shining in the dark.
Chapter 1: The Shadow Emperor Returns to the Snake Eight Clan, Uesugi Yue Returns with His Dominance ()
In the mountains outside Tokyo, countless raindrops hit the roof of the shrine, then bounced around the staggered wooden structure and finally gathered on the eaves.
The rain water gathered on the eaves and slid down the steps in thin lines, splashing layers of water. The century-old cherry trees in the garden shed a sad and beautiful cherry snow in the rain.
Men dressed in black, with short swords in white sheaths at their waists, walked past the burnt torii gate in unison, like pilgrims walking up steps covered with cherry blossom petals.
Afterwards, they stopped at the vermilion stone wall in front of the main shrine, bowed deeply three times, and then separated into two teams, standing on both sides waiting for a more distinguished person to come.
The next people to enter the shrine were seven people holding paper umbrellas. They were all wearing formal kimonos. The six people walking behind had anxious and confused expressions, which made them seem a little hurried.
But even so, the seven people holding paper umbrellas stopped in front of the vermilion stone wall and bowed deeply and respectfully in front of the stone wall like the men before them.
Masamune Tachibana looked at the vermilion stone wall, holding three burning incense sticks in his hands. The smoke from the burning incense sticks floated up layer by layer and finally dissipated in the rain and fog outside the umbrella.
"These are troubled times." He then gently inserted the incense stick in his hand into the stone wall.
"Head, you called us here so urgently. Did something important happen?" Sakurai Nanami looked at Tachibana Masamune and asked her question.
The heads of other families also turned their eyes here at this time. This was the question they wanted to ask, why the head of the family, Tachibana Masamune, called them here so eagerly.
Tachibana Masamune looked at the misty rain outside the umbrella, and it was unclear whether he was happy or sad in his old eyes. "The old emperor has returned from history, and what will be the future of the Eight Snake Families?"
He answered the heads of each family, but this vague answer made these heads even more confused. What did the emperor of the past mean?
Just when Sakurai Nanami wanted to continue asking, Tachibana Masamune walked forward with a paper umbrella and entered the main hall. Seeing this, the other family heads did not stop and entered the main hall one after another.
After them, the other people from the Snake Eight Families poured into the shrine, but without exception, they all stopped in front of the stone wall and bowed deeply with respect, and then placed their umbrellas in front of the main hall.
A minute later, the densely packed black umbrellas looked like a group of crows with nowhere to go home, appearing even more desolate in the cold rain.
Hundreds of men and women in black knelt in their seats, looking respectfully at the head of the Snake Eight Families, Tachibana Masamune, who was kneeling in front of them.
The black-clad secretary handed a list of all the people present to Tachibana Masamune, "...There are 58 people outside who are unable to return due to time constraints. There are now a total of 389 people present."
"Mr. Masamune, please take a look."
Tachibana Masamune knelt in the highest position in the center. He scanned all the people present one by one, and then looked at the only empty seat belonging to the heads of the eight families.
"Crow, Yaksha, notify Chisheng to come over. Today's matter is very important." Tachibana Masamune did not ask where Minamoto Chisheng was. He knew Minamoto Chisheng's character and he did not like such a grand family meeting.
