The atmosphere in the living room was extremely awkward.
The brother and sister did not sit together, and there was no communication between them, making the atmosphere not only awkward but also a bit dull.
In fact, Ayato really wanted to talk, but after trying several times to find a topic but getting no response, he stopped talking.
Kamisato Ayaka deliberately sat on the other side of the living room to distance herself from her brother.
At this moment, she still couldn't accept the fact that the little fox was Yae Shenzi.
Strictly speaking, if you hug me, you hug me, and it’s not a serious matter.
Shenzi's fox form is really cute, and with her smooth and soft pale pink fur, people can't help but want to get close to her, just like the miko Emi.
But whenever Ayaka thinks about the various interactions with the little fox, and then thinks that the person she is holding in her arms is actually Yae Shenzi, she instinctively feels a little uncomfortable.
It's not that she hates the other person, it's just that she feels a little resistant to holding someone in her arms.
On the other side, seeing that his sister refused to communicate, Ayato turned to Emi and asked, "Where is Mr. Ouyang? Haven't you come out today?"
"No..." Emei shook her head in distress and continued, "Since we arrived, only the lady named Shen He hurriedly took us to visit the villa and informed us of our bedroom.
, and then returned to the villa on the second floor."
"Before I left, I said, 'Don't disturb me,' and I haven't seen anyone since."
After saying that, Emei asked in a low voice again: "Sir, Mr. Ouyang, doesn't he like our visit? Why don't we let Miss Kamisato go back?"
Ayato looked at Emi slightly in surprise, but he didn't get angry.
He said in a calm tone: "This was agreed before. Don't say similar things in the future. Just do your own thing."
"Yes!" She received almost the same answers from the brother and sister, which made her realize that she was indeed talking too much.
Generally speaking, when a guest comes to visit, it will naturally offend the host to be so negligent.
Emi is a shrine maiden worshiped by the society and is also responsible for the daily life of Miss Kamisato, so she doesn't have so many crooked thoughts.
I just feel that what Ouyang is doing now is almost insulting.
In any case, as the eldest lady of the society, she shouldn't be treated like this.
So she made this proposal twice out of loyalty.
This is why Ayato didn't blame her for saying "you're teaching me how to do things".
But Emei doesn't know the whole story.
The status of social ethics is indeed very high in Inazuma.
But in fact, it was Ayato who came to ask for cooperation.
Especially after today's regular meeting, Ouyang has already surpassed them in the upper circle of Daozhu.
The living room was quiet for a while. Just when Ayato decided to communicate with his sister first, the temperature in the living room suddenly dropped a few degrees.
The sudden situation was naturally noticed by Ayato and Ayaka, and they looked up at the same time.
I saw a translucent ghost-like humanoid spirit suddenly appeared in the sky above the living room.
"Ghost!
!”
Emi and Kawano Rina were also aware of it, but when they saw the spirit body, they were frightened out of their wits and ran away with their heads in their hands.
She doesn't have any of the professional qualities that a miko should have.
Ayato didn't care about them either. He was looking at the spirit body and thinking about which one of the Inazuma ghosts it was.
After floating down, the spirit placed a piece of paper on the table in the living room without saying a word, and then disappeared again.
Soon, except for the remaining traces of the lowered temperature in the living room, the presence of the spirit body was no longer noticeable.
Is this...Liyue's method?
Ayato looked towards the bedroom on the second floor with all his thoughts, then came to the table and picked up the paper.
"I'm sorry, but Ouyang is in retreat, and I need to accompany and protect him, so I can't receive you at the moment."
"Except for this master bedroom, you can do whatever you want with it."
"Feel sorry."
Retreat?
After reading the words on the paper, Ayato was quite surprised.
He really didn't expect that the person who looked at him so casually yesterday turned out to be so self-disciplined to improve his strength?
However, considering Ouyang's possible strength, seclusion seems very logical.
But after all, this is Ouyang's own private matter, and he is blameless.
So he said to Linghua, who had also read the text on the paper: "As you can see, since Ouyang is in retreat, let's go out to have a meal."
"It just so happens that I still need to explain things to you. There are too many things that happened today."
Ayaka looked at her brother strangely when she heard this, but she didn't lose her temper anymore and nodded obediently.
"Okay. Let's go."
The group of people left the villa.
In the master bedroom, Ouyang sat with his upper body exposed and cross-legged on the bed.
Shen He, who was protecting him, was also meditating.
Except for not much movement, everything looked like they were really in retreat seeking a breakthrough.
But in fact, it was delayed by a "phone call".
Time came last night.
Liyue, Dihuazhou, Wangshu Inn.
In the kitchen of Wangshu Inn, there is a small private room separated by a screen, which is used by the chef Yanxiao when he "starts a small stove" for others.
After a busy day, you can have a drink here to relieve your fatigue.
It's a relatively private place, a secret base.
But recently this place has been occupied by two people and one cat.
His secret base was occupied, but Yan Xiao was not angry. Instead, he was served delicious food and drinks.
The beginning of all this was a conversation between the shopkeeper Huaian and him when two people and a cat came to Wangshu Inn a few days ago.
"No matter what, no matter what the reason, no matter what difficulties, as long as that young man named Gui Chuanyu makes a request, you will satisfy him!"
"If you can solve it, solve it yourself. If you can't solve it, tell me and I will find a way to solve it."
"Do you understand?!"
Seeing the shopkeeper's solemnity, Yan Xiao was naturally very curious. He pointed at the small box of Mo La in Huai'an's hand and asked.
"Shopkeeper, this is a place I worked hard to build for my own use. Isn't it just Maura who gave me a big tip? It's not like this, right?"
"What do you know?" Huaian felt the weight of the box in his hand, looked at Yan Xiao with a bit of disgust, but immediately whispered seriously and mysteriously, "Anyway, you can do as I say, and you can forget about the rest.
.”
After saying that, seeing Yan Xiao's obviously unhappy look, Huaian added helplessly: "Don't mess around with me. I'll just remind you that the youngest child's surname is Gui!"
"I don't care whether his surname is Gui or Ma, anyway, I'm... uh... Gui?!"
Yanxiao, who was still not convinced, wanted to be tough, but he slowly came to his senses.
Your surname is expensive?!
Yan Xiao opened his eyes wide and looked at his shopkeeper in disbelief.
He already had a terrifying guess in his mind, so he looked at the shopkeeper to confirm it again.
Huai'an nodded mysteriously and said nothing.
hiss--
That child is actually a child of the Qixing noble family?!
Even if he still didn't believe it, Yan Xiao had to accept the fact after the shopkeeper nodded.
Therefore, two people and one cat occupied his place, and he did not dare to complain at all.
Not only that, but we are on call 24/7.
As long as the other party is in need, he will get up and prepare a table of meals even in the middle of the night and bring it to them.
The relationship between the senior and the junior should be master and apprentice, and they are quite easy to talk to.
The more annoying thing is the cat.
The taste is a bit picky, so you have to put some effort into serving it every time.
Fortunately, there are not many things that bother people. The two of them go out early and the cat comes home late, so they only bother him once or twice a day, which is not bad.
After all...for Maura's sake, he didn't mind.
Tonight, as usual, Yan Xiao prepared a table of dishes and served them to them.
After the food was all served, Yan Xiao said with a smile: "The food is all here, you can eat. I will go back to sleep."
Gui Chuanyu, who was sitting in the seat, was very polite. He took out Maola from his arms and thanked her: "Okay, Uncle Yan, you go and have a rest."
"Hey, take it easy then, I'm leaving." Yan Xiao happily took Maura's tip and turned to leave the kitchen.
The two of them and the cat started to feast.
Mandrill is a boring gourd, and Ruo Tuo cannot act too much in front of children, so the atmosphere at the dinner table is maintained by Gui Chuanyu, who is only six years old.
"Master! Don't just eat almond tofu? Come and say goodbye."
After speaking, Gui Chuanyu took a plate of plain-cut chicken and placed it in front of Mandrill, and placed the almond tofu that was originally in front of him in front of Ruo Tuo.
"Garfield, look at how fat you are now. You are not allowed to eat meat anymore. Just eat this tofu from today on."
Ruo Tuo opened his mouth and licked the canines in his mouth, looked at the almond tofu, and then looked at the child speechlessly.
I am the mighty Dragon King and you want me to be a vegetarian?!
He stared at Gui Chuanyu with rounded cat eyes and expressed strong protest!
"Meow!"
What Ruo Tuo thought was a menacing roar was, in Gui Chuanyu's eyes, a fierce and cute roar.
He reached out and patted Ruo Tuo on the head without any fear, and comforted him: "My uncle has said that being fat is not good, but look at you, you become a lump even when you sit. If you don't exercise, then you have to eat vegetarian food."
La."
Facing the comfort, Ruotuo didn't appreciate it. He turned to the mandrill and shouted: "Meow!" (You are the child's master, you don't care?)
But Mandrill obviously wouldn't interfere in this matter. He didn't even glance at the plain-cut chicken placed in front of him, and urged in a calm tone: "Eat quickly. After eating, we have to train again tonight."
"Additional training?" Gui Chuanyu suddenly felt bad, "Aren't you finished training today?"
"Before, you said every day that training was useless. I will take you to see your actual results tonight."
"Oh..." Looking at the unsmiling Mandrill, Gui Chuanyu agreed weakly.
At the same time, knowing that he couldn't refuse, he hurriedly worked hard to cook the rice.
He had been taught a lesson before. During a certain training session, he ate slowly, and before he could finish eating, the master directly pulled him to continue training.
He was hungry all day.
Late at night, riding the breeze, Mandrill brought Gui Chuanyu to Guiliyuan.
After landing, Gui Chuanyu roughly judged that this place was a ruins by the moonlight.
There are ruins all around. Judging from the scale, it can be seen that this place was once prosperous.
But everything is in the past. The patterns on the collapsed stone pillars and broken floor tiles have been worn away by the erosion of Father Time.
But although the building looks old, it is not quiet now.
Beyond the layers of stone pillars, firelight can be seen flickering from the gaps.
Mandrill crossed his arms and said to the place where there was fire.
"Go ahead, that's where it is."
Gui Chuanyu nervously clenched the penetrating rainbow in his hand. Although he was often fearless at a young age, he also knew what was dangerous.
So he hesitated for a moment, turned around and asked softly: "Master, will you protect me?"
"It's just a few Qiuqiu people possessed by evil spirits. There won't be any danger." Mandrill still had a cold face.
"To teach you skills, you must have the courage to use them in the face of the enemy, otherwise it will be useless no matter how well you practice your skills."
"But since this is your first time to face this, I allow you to take your cat with you."
cat?!
Garfield?!
What's the use of it?!
Gui Chuanyu looked at the fat Garfield speechlessly, and instantly gave up the idea of him being able to help.
If you can't walk this way, it would be nice if you don't do any harm.
Today's Guichuanyu's concept of Ruotuo is still compared to Marco Hughes, a stupid cat that breathes fire and can't even catch fish in a fish pond.
Simply put, they are pets.
So he shook his head repeatedly: "Master, won't you protect me?"
"Stop talking nonsense and go quickly!" After Mandrill finished speaking, he turned into a breeze and dissipated in the ruins.
"Master? Master?!"
After calling out twice in a low voice and getting no response, Gui Chuanyu finally stopped trying.
Leaning against the stone pillar, he looked at Garfield and said helplessly: "Garfield, wait for me here. Don't make trouble for me?"
After saying that, Gui Chuanyu carefully sneaked towards the direction of the fire.
His stealth speed is not very fast.
With her waist crouched and her steps equally light, Gui Chuanyu even used the moonlight to clearly see the situation on the ground before moving forward.
I was afraid of stepping on branches, tiles and other things, so I would alert those Qiuqiu people in advance.
After spending a while, we finally arrived at the corner, and we took one step further to face those Qiuqiu people.
His idea was very good. After sneaking over, he could use elemental power to summon a sea of fire to burn all the Qiuqiu people when he suddenly appeared and the other party didn't react.
Having been with Ouyang for a long time, he has learned the essence of long-range barrages to clean up the ground.
But what he didn't know was that although he was very careful in his sneaking, he ignored the length of the rainbow.
The Qiuqiu people who were dancing the Great God around the bonfire had long since discovered the gun head that was approaching little by little and flashing a cold light.
Therefore, Zai Gui Chuanyu cheered himself up, holding the spear and suddenly stood up and turned around the corner.
In front of him was a Qiuqiu man sprinting towards here with a torch.
Ya!
The visual effect of the Qiuqiu people rampaging around waving torches was a bit funny, but Gui Chuanyu, who faced all this, was frightened.
He didn't even have time to observe how many enemies were around the campfire.
When he saw the torch getting closer and closer to him, it was about to hit his face.
Because of fear, Gui Chuanyu burst out directly.
“Ahhhhhhhh!
!”
boom--
As he screamed out of fear, the God's Eye on Gui Chuanyu's waist burst into fiery red light.
In the chaotic swing of the spear in his hand, waves of flames were released.
The first unlucky person was the Qiuqiu man who rushed towards him and was directly cut into pieces by the scorching flames.
Then other Qiuqiu people around the bonfire were cut into pieces without being able to react.
So cruel...
Putting down the outstretched cat paw, Ruo Tuo had already jumped onto a pillar. Looking down from a high place, Ruo Tuo looked at the waves of flames and felt that the education of this child's psychological quality needed to be strengthened.
