The treasure thieves of Teyvat rob Shenhe

Then, with an uneasy heart, she took three deep breaths before reaching out to touch the lottery tube.

I drew a lucky number.

Asase Hibiki couldn't help but smile, and then he thought of something, and poured out all the sticks in the stick box, squatted down to check, and found that they were all auspicious, and all the unlucky sticks had already been drawn.

It must have been done by Lord Saigū!

Asase Hibiki felt angry about being fooled. She was really sad and overwhelmed that the person she liked was about to marry another girl. How could he deceive her with such childish means?

But soon, Asase Hibiki silently picked up the sticks and put them back into the stick box.

After all, Lord Saigū was thinking about her.

I really need to be brave.

The look of cowardly escape.

Even Lord Saigū couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

So, go find him.

Chapter 528 Letting go

Moonlit night, Qinglai Island.

Asase Hibiki was walking alone along the beach. She lowered her head and stepped barefoot on the soft sand, leaving one small footprint after another.

When she was very young, she would sneak here without telling her grandmother to look for luminous star snails.

Then she would be discovered and chased by her grandmother, and she would run, giggling.

I was very young at that time, fearless. The shadow of the little girl was very long under the moonlight, the waves swayed on the beach, and the quiet sea tide was hidden in the childhood deep in my memory.

Asase Hibiki's eyes were wandering, and suddenly he stopped, squatted down, reached out to pick up the shining star conch, and put it to his ear.

Legend has it that the star conch contains the song of sirens.

This is of course a lie.

However, Asase Hibiki believed what his grandmother said.

What happened today made Asase Hibiki sad. His relative had passed away not long ago, but the kind elder in the past had a different face, which made Asase Hibiki, who was less than sixteen years old, feel unfamiliar and scary.

Although their words were not direct, Asase Hibiki could understand the underlying meaning of their words.

She is not welcome at the Asase Shrine.

In other words, she was kicked out.

Recalling the days with his grandmother, Asase Hibiki finally couldn't hold back and sobbed softly. His tears dripped on the swirling shell of the star snail, like crystal pearls dotted on it.

According to the funeral ceremony, her grandmother will be buried tomorrow, and she will also pack her luggage and leave Qinglai Island where she was born and raised.

Perhaps Asase Hibiki was too sad, and she was so dazed that she didn't realize someone was following her footsteps.

"What treasure did you find?"

Asase Hibiki was startled when she heard a voice behind her, and quickly turned her head to see the boy Kombumaru who was traveling with her.

Kombumaru crossed his arms across his chest, ignoring the tears on Asase Hibiki's face. He wanted to look past her to see what she was holding in her hand.

"It's not a treasure, just an ordinary shell." Asase stood up, wiped his tears with his other hand while turning around, and then handed over the star shell.

"Tsk, I thought it was something valuable."

"…Um."

"Since there is no treasure here, let's go back."

Asase Hibiki didn't answer and didn't move.

Seeing this, Kombumaru did not get angry and asked back.

"Why did you sneak here at night? Is there some pirate treasure on this beach? As the saying goes, there is a god above your head, and a witch should not lie."

"So, is there any treasure here that is worth your nostalgia?"

"There's no pirate treasure here," Asase Hibiki's voice was low and sobbing, but fortunately Kombumaru could hear it clearly, "It's just that I can't bear to leave this place..."

"That deceased priest must be your grandmother, right?"

"…Um."

"Logically speaking, Asase Shrine should also be yours."

“…The elders said that I was too young and inexperienced to manage the affairs of the shrine.”

"That's right. Then let's go back to Narugami Taisha. Aren't you going there to study in order to become a qualified priest?"

When Asase Hibiki heard this, he didn't know how to refute.

Konbumaru makes sense.

Once she learns a little from Lord Saigū, she will be able to manage the small shrine.

But, was there still a place for her in Asase Shrine at that time?

Does the young man in front of her understand her sorrow?

This is the confusion of losing your hometown.

"We will return to Kagemukaiyama tomorrow. Well, according to etiquette, we should inform those old women and tell them that I, Asase Hibiki, will be returning to Narugami Taisha soon. In a few years, I will take over the shrine. I don't want anyone who opposes to stay."

Asase Hibiki's eyes dilated slightly and he looked at Kombumaru in disbelief.

Kombumaru's expression was indeed calm, as if it was a matter of course.

"Don't you dare to say it?"

Asase Hibiki shook his head.

Such remarks are so rude and reckless, how can they work? They will only be regarded as a joke.

Upon seeing this, Kombumaru said nothing more and turned away.

Asase Hibiki opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak, and ultimately did not call out to Kombumaru. She watched Kombumaru disappear into the shadows of the woods, and remained alone in silence on the beach.

After a while, Asase Hibiki sighed, took a step forward with a heavy heart, and walked towards the shrine.

Asase Hibiki didn't know that Kombumaru had not left. He had been hiding in the woods, protecting her secretly.

What Asase Hibiki knew was that the next day after that night, after Asase Hibiki had dealt with the funeral, he was ready to leave quietly under the watchful eyes of many elders.

But after taking a few steps, Kombumaru suddenly turned around and shouted out what Asase Hibiki dared not say, and then laughed wildly.

The priestesses all looked unhappy and asked Asase Hibiki what he was doing!

Asase Hibiki was stunned and at a loss.

Kombumaru took off the bow string of Feileizhizhen, the inscribed bow bestowed by Lingshanfang. The bow lived up to its name and suddenly shot an arrow towards the sky, piercing a passing bird in the sky and making it fall to the ground.

The priestesses were shocked by the arrow shot by Konbumaru and were speechless for a moment.

Kombumaru proudly reintroduced his identity; he was a disciple of the legendary Great Tengu Kage Mukai Reizenbo, and a junior fellow of Asase Hibiki!

He also told the shrine maidens in a condescending tone that Asase Hibiki was also a direct disciple of Narukami Taisha Shrine.

Asase Hibiki is weak in character. She lacks the courage to resist, but is also reluctant to confront her elders.

But Kombumaru, an outsider, didn't care about these things. He vented his anger on behalf of Asase Hibiki.

"When she returns to Asase Shrine, I will follow her. Oh, and let me say my name again, Kirikiri Takamine. I will eventually become famous throughout the world."

Asase Hibiki was anxious as she went down the mountain alone and rushed to Inazuma Castle. When she decided to face up to this relationship, the stories that had happened between her and Konbumaru over the years involuntarily emerged in her mind.

Asase Hibiki still feels that it was reckless for the teenage Konbumaru to threaten the entire Asase Shrine seven years ago.

However, if there is a next time, she will not need Kombu Maru to vent her inner grievances and unwillingness.

The wind blew through the forests of Yingxiang Mountain, making a rustling sound.

Asase Hibiki recalled the time he spent with Konbumaru in the sacred forest.

Reizenbo has three disciples, Kamishinosuke, Asase Hibiki, and Konbumaru.

In terms of talent, Konbu Wan is the best.

Later, he followed General Lei Dian and learned some swordsmanship. He already had the demeanor of a swordsman. After all, the one he was comparing with was the origin of all martial arts, so knowing a little bit of it was extraordinary.

Before he left for apprenticeship, Konbumaru was still good at using bows and arrows.

Since Asase Hibiki learned from Reizenbo, he would go to the Tengu tribe's territory regularly every month to practice archery. There is a sacred forest behind the tribe's territory, which is said to have been planted by Lord Narukami himself. After hundreds of years, the forest is lush and green.

Asase Hibiki was practicing alone there with a target in his arms. He was not at the shrine, so Hayashino could not teach him. And Reizenbo was like some mentors. He was a big boss, sure, but he would not teach you in detail. He would point out your shortcomings, and you had to figure out the rest by yourself.

Asase Hibiki is indeed talented in the field of archery, otherwise she would not have been noticed by Reizenbo, and the exorcism method that Kitsusaigumi taught her is the magic-breaking bow and arrow.

But people are afraid of being compared with others.

Kombumaru is better than Asase Hibiki in archery, so he would go to the sacred forest every time to mock him.

Sometimes, when “I really can’t bear to watch it”, I would tell Asase Hibiki what’s wrong and correct her archery posture.

Asase Hibiki is a reserved shrine maiden in front of outsiders, but she is lively in front of acquaintances. She often talks back at Konbumaru, saying that he has said bad things about her.

Why would she like such a reckless, arrogant guy who mocks her?

People love what they lack.

Just as Shen He was attracted by Lin Ye's love for life, Solora longed for Lin Ye's tenderness and kindness, and Lamia could not resist the smell of blood relatives on Lin Ye...

Kirikiri Takamine is free and unrestrained. Even though he became Tengu Konanmaru, he is still unruly and proud in his heart. He has been to many places and played many exciting games.

This is exactly what Asase Hibiki, who grew up in the countryside enduring strict rules and regulations, never had.

Asase Hibiki is responsible, but Kombumaru has no responsibility. To be more precise, he is only responsible for himself and is very free.

A rooted dandelion will fall in love with the wind because the wind can carry it far away.

Similarly, Asase Hibiki has no pursuit in life and her life is very dull, but Kombumaru's eyes are burning with ambition. Since he has lost his freedom, he must reach the highest point in the fence and look down on all the mountains, so that he can live up to his name, Kirigiri Takamine.

Ambitious men exude a strong and confident aura, which attracts people's attention.

After her grandmother passed away, Asase Hibiki also felt insecure. Although the rough but thoughtful Kombumaru slandered her, he never let Asase Hibiki suffer any injustice except from himself. He was very domineering and terrible.

But Asase Hibiki was used to it.

After all, she also learned to be venomous towards Kombu Maru.

Defamation of each other.

But never express the hidden love.

But this time, Asase Hibiki wanted to tell Kombumaru that she liked him.

So, what is Kombu Maru doing?

He was drinking, going to a bar he frequented, getting drunk, looking like a joke and losing his manners.

If this is the case, the head of the Kujo family and the daughter of the Kujo family will definitely be disappointed when they find out.

When you don’t know what choice to make, your formed habits will give you the answer.

Kombumaru had no answer in his mind, but subconsciously he hoped to ruin the good things and give up the chance to achieve success overnight by this method.

For three consecutive days, Kombumaru either drank or gambled. Especially when he stayed there all day, and with the rumors that he was about to become the son-in-law of the Kujo family, he became completely inflated before he even got married.

The head of the Kujo family naturally heard the rumors, and knowing Kombumaru's style, he was furious and ecstatic inside.

He intentionally hinted to his daughter the location of Kombumaru so that she could see the man's miserable appearance with her own eyes, so that she could wake up and stop being obsessed with love.

The daughter of the Kujo family got a clue from her father, secretly ran away from home and went to find Kombumaru. She thought her father was really careless.

Little did they know that the head of this group of Jiujo clans was at a high level.

The head of the Kujo family also arranged guards to secretly protect the eldest lady's safety.

Kombumaru walked out of the tavern with a red face, cursing. He was kicked out just for beating up the bastard who had offended him.

Which bastard said he was so lucky to be favored by the daughter of the Kujo family? Ha, he doesn't care!

Kombumaru covered his face with his hands to wake himself up, then planned to find a place to wash his face as he had a card game in the evening.

Even a body made of iron could not withstand the torture of the kelp pill. He staggered forward drunkenly.

After taking a few steps, Kombumaru was stunned.
