The boy who is a shrine maiden does not want to marry

Mingxue fell silent for a long time before she spoke: "I'll go back and talk to Ye Yue."

"You can also cooperate with me unilaterally, just like Miss Nao Tsuchimikado and go out to earn extra money." Hanyu Iesada folded his arms across his chest, crossed his legs, and quietly admired Mingxue in the rearview mirror.

Ming Xue noticed the sight and frowned unhappily, "It seems that you have cooperated with many people privately, why don't you continue to cooperate with them?"

Hanyu Iesada spread his hands, "Because the Onmyoji Ryo is planning to change its affiliation."

"So you're going there today to stabilize the other party?"

Mingxue's voice came into Hanyu Iesada's ears along with the wind blowing in from the window.

The smile on Hanyu Iesada's face froze instantly.

In fact, Ming Xue was absolutely right. After the Kyoto riot, his second sister Hanyu Reimi's reputation soared, and many people in the family changed their allegiance or had secret affairs, which made him very distressed.

The purpose of going to the Onmyoji today is to stabilize the only ally from the outside world, and at the same time try to steal the support of the second sister to see if the fifth sister's faction can be pulled to his side.

That’s right, it was his fault that the hotel didn’t have a special car today.

"Master, Miss Feigong, we have arrived at our destination."

Just at this moment, the driver spoke up and helped Hanyu Iesada out of the predicament.

Hanyu Iesada quickly responded to the driver and used this opportunity to direct the car to stop in order to cover up the embarrassment just now.

Mingxue sat in the passenger seat and watched their performance, continuing to give silent pressure until the car entered the basement and stopped steadily, then she withdrew her gaze.

"Then let's go to the temple, shall we?" Hanyu Iesada turned around and said to Mingxue.

Mingxue nodded and got off the car first, followed by Hanyu Iesada.

As soon as the two got off the car, a group of Onmyojis wearing hunting robes came to greet them.

"Welcome to our humble home. I apologize for any inadequacy of our hospitality." Nao Tsuchimikado walked out of the crowd.

"No, no, this visit is just a friendly visit, and we'll talk about business cooperation at the same time." Hanyu Iesada walked over and extended his hand to Tsuchimikado Nao, while deliberately showing Mingxue behind him to everyone.

Tsuchimikado Nao acted as if she didn't see it. She said a few polite words and turned to lead the way, while Hanyu Iesada was talked to by an old Onmyoji.

Mingxue was approached by a few young female Onmyojis. After briefly introducing themselves, they started chatting about the latest celebrity gossip or cosmetics. Unfortunately, Mingxue was not able to keep up with them at all, which made them start to worry and wonder what went wrong.

It wasn't until Nao Tsuchimikado suddenly interrupted that further embarrassment was prevented.

"Have you cooperated with Hanyu Iesada?" Nao Tsuchimikado asked anxiously after the female Onmyojis left.

Mingxue shook her head.

Tsuchimikado Nao thought for a while before asking, "Are you cooperating with him unilaterally?"

"Not everyone takes private jobs like you." Mingxue crossed her arms and said jokingly to Nao Tsuchimikado.

"It seems he told you." Tsuchimikado Nao was stunned, then answered speechlessly.

Mingxue nodded.

Tsuchimikado Nao spread her hands and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Why did you two come to our side? Hanyu Reimi is also here with us. It's very difficult for us to do this!"

"His and my purpose for coming here are different. If possible, I hope we can talk in detail." Ming Xue said sincerely.

Chapter 63: Ming Xue, the black-bellied foodie transvestite [4K5]

When Tsuchimikado Nao heard Mingxue's request to talk in private, she thought for a moment and replied, "That's no problem, but let's meet formally first."

Mingxue narrowed her eyes.

"Don't look at me like that. Hanyu Reimi already knows that you are coming." Tsuchimikado Nao spread her hands and said with emotion.

Ming Xue sighed. He didn't know how to tell Hanyu Reimi that he wanted to meet her. Besides, the conditions offered by Hanyu Iesada seemed pretty good. He was now struggling not to offend either side and even thought about just sitting on the fence.

"Let's go. There are some things we really need to talk about." Nao Tsuchimikado reached out and patted Mingxue's shoulder.

After being hit by the other party, Mingxue suddenly thought of a question, and asked hurriedly: "How is Uncle Kakuei?"

The information collected by Hachira Shingen told him that the captain of the decapitation team, Tsuchimikado Kakuei, was not in good condition and was said to have been cursed and gone mad.

"…It seems that it has spread. Let me make it clear that this is not a rumor." Nao Tsuchimikado was silent for a moment before answering and continuing to lead the way.

Ming Xue, who was following behind, stroked her chin and said, "Don't you have a lot of spiritual weapons in the Yin-Yang Bureau? Isn't it easy to cast a curse?"

"Uncle Kakuei has been severely affected by the supernatural. None of the spiritual weapons in my hand can cure him." Tsuchimikado Nao said without turning her head.

Ming Xue, who was following behind, put her hands behind her back and asked, "What if we can get treatment here?"

Tsuchimikado Nao, who was walking in front, turned her head and looked at Mingxue, her expression serious and solemn, "I hope you are not joking."

Mingxue was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "We have to try it to know."

Tsuchimikado Nao stared into Mingxue's eyes.

Mingxue still kept smiling, her eyes didn't move at all.

"After the small talk, let's meet alone. My father is arriving in Kyoto today." Nao Tsuchimikado dropped a bombshell news and turned around to continue leading the way.

Mingxue raised her eyebrows. She never expected that Tsuchimikado Nao's father, the head of the Onmyoji Ryo, would come. This means... the Fujiwara family in Tokyo and the Onmyoji Ryo have already met.

After everyone left the underground parking lot, the Onmyojis who had previously welcomed Mingxue and Hanyu Iesada dispersed. Mingxue and Hanyu Iesada followed Nao Tsuchimikado and took the elevator directly to the fifth floor.

The fifth floor is a reception lounge. Apart from the waiters serving tea and water, there is only Reimi Hanyu sitting on the sofa.

"Oh, long time no see, second sister." Hanyu Iesada greeted Hanyu Reimi with a smile on his face.

Hanyu Reimiri ignored her younger brother and stared straight at Mingxue and Tsuchimikado Nao behind him.

Mingxue could only give an awkward yet polite smile.

Tsuchimikado Nao lowered her head and did not look at Hanyu Remi.

"Hmph, some people appear bright and cheerful on the surface, but secretly do dirty and filthy things to steal other people's girls." Although Hanyu Reimi was angry, she was still rational. She did not verbally attack Mingxue and Tsuchimikado Nao, but directly scolded her brother in a roundabout way.

Lu Si seemed not to understand and sat down next to Yuzuru Reimi. "Who made my sister angry? Do you want me to help teach them a lesson?"

"Aren't you asking this even though you already know the answer?" Hanyu Reimi didn't get angry but instead smiled and crossed her legs.

Hanyu Iesada touched his chin pretentiously, then looked at Mingxue and Tsuchimikado Nao in a puzzled manner and said, "Do you know?"

And Hanyu Reimi followed her brother's gaze and looked at Mingxue and Tsuchimikado Nao.

Mingxue and Tsuchimikado Nao's faces changed slightly. They didn't expect that the two siblings would be so rude and directly forced them to express their opinions.

"Instead of discussing these interpersonal relationships, why don't we discuss the Gion Festival the day after tomorrow." Tsuchimikado Nao looked away and said lifelessly.

The words she threw out had enough weight to change the subject.

The Gion Festival is the grandest and most lively of the three major festivals in Kyoto, and one of the three major festivals in Japan (Gion Festival, Tokyo Kanda Festival, Osaka Tenjin Festival). It originated in the Heian period. At that time, in order to eradicate the root of the epidemic that was prevalent in the world, people made a sedan chair with 66 sticks and sent it to Shinsenen, which became the Gion Festival.

It is currently organized by Kyoto's Inari Taisha Shrine. It is an important event for the shrine to demonstrate its strength. Therefore, the Gion Festival is no longer limited to Gion-ji Temple, but spreads throughout the central area of ​​Kyoto.

Every year in midsummer, preparations for the Gion Festival begin in early July. It officially begins on the 13th of the month and lasts until the 29th. The remaining two days, the 30th and 31st, are for the Kyoto business community meeting, which is actually a meeting of the descendants of the Hanyu family.

In short, what she meant was that there are a lot of important things in July, so don't talk about trivial things and get straight to the point.

Hanyu Iesada smiled slightly at this, and Hanyu Reimei closed his eyes tiredly.

After the torturous brother and sister calmed down, Mingxue took the opportunity to sit down.

Tsuchimikado Nao followed and sat down, and sat together with Mingxue.

Hanyu Reimi opened her eyes again, her gaze wandering between Mingxue and Tsuchimikado Nao.

"Although the July sun is fierce, if the Gion Festival is not held, the wandering souls gathered underground in Kyoto will not be able to rest in peace." Hanyu Iesada suddenly spoke up and said, "This time, we will not only trouble the shrine maidens and priests, but also you Onmyoji."

Ming Xue turned her head and looked at him, "The wandering souls underground?"

"Don't you know? This is a problem left over from history. Kyoto is an ancient capital, and it is also a place of war, so many resentful spirits gather here." Tsuchimikado Nao looked at Mingxue in surprise and said, "Until now, there have always been wandering spirits under the ground of Kyoto, not only from modern times, but also from ancient times. This is why there are so many weird things in our city of Kyoto."

Ming Xue tilted her head and asked in confusion: "Ancient wandering spirits? Doesn't that mean... they are already ghosts?"

After he said this, not only Tsuchimikado Nao, but also Hanyu Iesada and Hanyu Remi looked at him in surprise.

Mingxue shrank back, "What are you doing?"

"You're not really the kind of young lady who is kept in the boudoir waiting to get married, are you?" Tsuchimikado Nao concealed the surprise on her face and revealed a hint of teasing.

Ming Xue did not refute when he heard this, but just lowered his head to eat the fruit on the table. As a Chinese who had only been in the spiritual world for less than a year, he really had no idea about the past history of Kyoto.

Seeing that Mingxue didn't answer, Tsuchimikado Nao explained kindly, "In order to prevent more ghost disasters here, our ancestor, Lord Haruaki, learned the method from China and placed a spiritual tool in Arashiyama to prevent the wandering souls in Kyoto from turning into ghosts once and for all. Next year, we will hold a festival to kill those wandering souls that are about to turn into ghosts."

The Seimei she mentioned is the Onmyoji Abe Haruaki who was active in the middle of the Heian period. His tomb is now located next to Arashiyama in Sagakakukura-cho, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto. Therefore, Kyoto is one of the few cities where Onmyojis can gather together besides Fukui Prefecture and Kochi Prefecture.

"The reason why large-scale supernatural events rarely happen in Kyoto..." Hanyu Iesada paused and added, "Of course, this Kyoto riot is an exception."

During the Kyoto riot, he was in a state of watching the show from the sidelines, so he knew clearly that the Kyoto riot was not just caused by supernatural forces, but also by man-made reasons.

After listening to the conversation between the few people, Mingxue turned her gaze to Tsuchimikado Nao.

No wonder after the Kyoto Rebellion broke out, this group of Onmyoji did not leave, but instead stayed to cooperate with official actions. It turns out there were activities and tasks.

"I'm afraid you came here today not only to teach the eldest lady of the concubine palace about history, but also to show your concern for the eldest lady of the Tsuchimikado family, right?" Hanyu Reimi, who was sitting on the side, interrupted the conversation between the three people with an unhappy look on her face.

"Miss Lingmei is right. I also want to know what Master Jiading has to say about this visit." Mingxue spoke up decisively, hinting to Hanyu Lingmei that their cooperation had not been broken.

Seeing Mingxue speak, Hanyu Reimi nodded slightly with satisfaction, then turned to look at Tsuchimikado Nao.

Nao Tsuchimikado never expected that the little girl Mingxue would actually jump on Hanyu Remi on the spot. Didn't they agree to be fence-sitters together?

"I, I also think that the Third Young Master must have something to do with us today. Did he encounter some difficult-to-deal-with ghost?" Tsuchimikado Nao was caught off guard by "Ming Xue's backstab" and her excuse was very far-fetched.

Hanyu Iesada was well aware of the principle of stealing someone's girlfriend, so he didn't force Mingxue and Tsuchimikado Nao to express their opinions like his sister did. Instead, he leaned back on the sofa and said politely:

"In three days, Grandpa will be at home gathering us grandchildren for a private dinner. I hope you two can attend as guests. Please also consider your position carefully, no matter whose position it is."

"Why didn't I know that grandpa was going to summon us?" Hanyu Reimi frowned, looking surprised.

Hanyu Iesada just smiled faintly and said immediately: "Maybe grandpa cares about me more. He told me so a few days ago."

"Then you are really popular, you little young master who loves to flirt with girls." Hanyu Reimi clenched her fists slightly.

The sad thing is that their grandfather cared more about their third brother Hanyu Iesada and their fifth sister who was selected from the side branch, and paid less attention to them, the eldest sons and daughters.

When Yuzuru Iesada saw his sister like this, he pointed at him mercilessly and looked displeased.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Tsuchimikado Nao quickly stood up and advised: "It's almost noon, why don't we have a meal here?"

Mingxue, who normally ate fruit secretly, immediately raised her hand in agreement.

Because he, like Tsuchimikado Nao, was caught in the middle and could be won over. If the two sides started to quarrel, it would be disadvantageous to both of them, so they simply ended this unpleasant meeting early.

Seeing that someone had delivered the message, the two siblings of the Hanyu family did not continue the confrontation, but stood up and agreed to Tsuchimikado Nao's request.

"Then please follow the Shikigami to the single lounge and wait. I will notify you of meal times." Tsuchimikado Nao hurriedly stood up and bowed, and three paper figures walked out behind her.

Hanyu Reimi snorted, left first, and followed the paper man to her own lounge.

Hanyu Iesada shrugged, politely said goodbye to Mingxue and Tsuchimikado Nao, and then left with the paper doll.

Just like that, the meeting between the four of them ended unpleasantly.

"Oh, this is really troublesome." Nao Tsuchimikado looked at the two siblings going in opposite directions and couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

On the other side, Mingxue had just finished eating the orange in his hand. This was the best fruit he had eaten since he came to Japan. He really didn't know why the fruits in Japan were so small and unpalatable, even for a wealthy family like his.

Tsuchimikado Nao turned her head and looked at Mingxue's appearance as a foodie, and couldn't help but complain: "If outsiders knew that you, an iceberg beauty, are a foodie, I don't know how many people would be sad or happy."

Mingxue tilted her head in confusion.

"Go to the psychic community and find out how popular you are." Tsuchimikado Nao sighed, "Even I have become your foil."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and left.

Mingxue blinked and immediately asked, "Shouldn't we talk about it?"

"I'll come to see you later. You can go to the lounge and rest first. There are plenty of fruits there." Nao Tsuchimikado left without looking back.

Ming Xue crossed his arms in dissatisfaction. Being mentioned as liking to eat fruit made him feel like a foodie...

I shouldn't be a foodie, right?

He began to fall into self-doubt until the paper man dangled in front of him and his consciousness returned to reality.

9 "Is the driving principle of this paper man the same as my ghost Yan?"

4 Mingxue carefully observed the paper man and found that the spiritual fluctuations on it were very faint, and the movements of the paper man were very rigid. It did not look like the spirituality and wisdom painted by Gui Yan. Moreover, Gui Yan had absolute control over the animated objects he painted.

8 Is it a disposable spiritual weapon or a derivative product like my Gui Yan?

2Wait, should I use my Ghost Rouge to cover it up? But if I do that, the Onmyoji will find out, right?
