I stayed up until 1 a.m. today playing games with sister Mei Li. I felt very sleepy when I woke up and didn't want to attend any important meeting today.
But Sister Meili said that the meetings recently are very important. If she doesn't attend, she will never take her to play again.
So Eriki obediently followed her brother to attend this meeting. It was said that she wanted to meet some elites from the headquarters, but Eriki didn't know much about these.
Generally speaking, she only needs to attend for a while, and the rest she can sleep or play games, and leave the rest to her almighty brother, which is absolutely fine.
But she really didn't expect that when she attended the meeting this time, she would see someone she was familiar with.
It was the person she met last night when she went out quietly with sister Mei Li.
Eryi's eyes met Lu Mingfei's, and tension and shock could be seen in each other's eyes.
Without even thinking about it, Eriki made a "shush" gesture.
Don't tell your brother.
Otherwise, she would never have the chance to go out to play again.
If she was discovered, sister Mei Li might never take her out with her again.
Lu Mingfei blinked and understood the meaning of the girl he had met once.
He stretched out two fingers and made a zipper motion on his mouth.
He said he would never say it.
The expression on Eryi's face was still indifferent, but Lu Mingfei noticed that her delicate eyebrows were curved, and there seemed to be little sparkles in them. It was like the Milky Way was sprinkled in her eyes.
Lu Mingfei was a little confused for a moment.
At this moment, his heart suddenly felt like it was hit by a happy little beast, and an inexplicable tremor spread throughout his body.
...She is really cute.
Lu Mingfei quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at the girl as beautiful as an elf.
He was completely out of state next. Even when Sakura introduced the other heads of the Sheqi Eighth Family, he didn't hear it at all.
"The last one is Mr. Masamune Tachibana, the head of the Tachibana family, and the head of the eight Sheqi families."
"You didn't expect the so-called gangsters to be people like us, right?" Masamune Tachibana, who was dressed in white linen, smiled and shook hands with Lu Mingfei's group one by one, "Actually, we didn't expect that the elites of the academy are such outstanding young people.
ah."
Lu Mingfei finally came back from his thoughts, looked at the hand holding Tachibana Masamune who was smiling, and gave a very standard smile.
The white-haired old man opposite him felt a little weird. Although the old man was smiling, Lu Mingfei always felt that he seemed to be holding back something strange.
and……
Has he seen this person somewhere?
Lu Mingfei frowned without any trace.
Since drinking the assassin potion given by Brother Fool and Lu Mingze's devil training, Lu Mingfei's abilities have improved by leaps and bounds, especially in terms of his own perception. He has become very sensitive to other people's auras.
sensitive.
Now Lu Mingfei had a mysterious feeling that he seemed to have seen the old man in front of him before.
The feeling this Chinese Valentine's Day brought to him was very familiar.
But for a while, he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
...This is really weird.
Lu Mingfei complained silently in his heart. He originally thought that the senior officials he met would be gangsters like Kotaro Fuma, or at least like those in the movie "The Godfather".
But this meeting was completely different from what he had imagined.
Especially this big head.
Although Tachibana Masamune established his status as "the leader among leaders" in the hearts of the guests with just that smile, even the sharp and sharp Fuma Kotaro did not have the calmness and confidence in his natural and friendly smile.
The confidence that things are firmly in your hands.
But Lu Mingfei always felt something was strange.
His intuition told him that there was definitely something wrong with that person.
Lu Mingfei touched his pocket without leaving a trace, touched a cool metal square, and felt slightly relieved.
Since he learned the identity of Brother Fool, he also learned about the functions of the amulets that Brother Fool gave him. He also learned that every amulet has a very powerful effect.
Even the Dragon King can be slaughtered for you.
Out of caution and to ensure the safety of this business, Lu Mingfei took out an amulet given by Brother Fool before going out.
In this way, even if the members of the Sheqi Ba family want to do something to them, such as really imprisoning them, he will have a way to deal with it.
If that doesn't work, just recite Brother Fool's honorable name and remotely summon powerful foreign aid.
But none of this should be necessary, after all, there are still two dragon kings here...
Even if a fight did occur, they would probably be unilaterally beating each other.
Thinking this way, Lu Mingfei became more confident.
Facing these underworld bosses, Yun Danfeng seemed even more relaxed, which made the other heads of the eight Sheqi families look down upon these elites from Kassel College, especially this one who was said to have conquered the earth.
The young man killed with the King of the Mountain.
"What a young and promising handsome boy." The head of the Fuma family couldn't help but sigh to the Inuyama family next to him.
The Inuyama family also nodded in agreement.
"It is not convenient for me to be present at the high-level meeting, so I will leave the meeting." Ying bowed deeply.
"Don't worry, wait a minute. Inuyama, Mr. Fuma and I are not from the Japan branch. We just need to devote ourselves to helping the academy's tasks. As for Inuyama-kun, although he was once the head of the Japan branch,
Now that we are retired, it is inconvenient to attend such a confidential meeting. We will meet with the outstanding young people from the college to chat about daily life, and then we can go have tea with the old immortals from the Strategy Department." Masamune Tachibana smiled.
"The quality of this tea is very good," Lao Tang commented casually.
Lu Mingfei also echoed: "Yes, the tea is very fragrant."
As a member of the ruling class, he had been extravagant for a long time, and he also had a certain understanding of human culture such as the tea ceremony.
If he hadn't turned into a cocoon for a while, he might have become brothers with Tea Sage Lu Yu.
Of course, he still prefers peeling fruits...
A charcoal stove was lit on the table, and a Kansai iron kettle sat on the stove. The iron kettle was dark and heavy, with countless blunt thorns on the upper half like a durian, and the lower half was carved with a red-faced and long-nosed Crow Tengu, flying with open wings.
In the flames of the flowing clouds, the charcoal fire burned the bottom of the pot red, and the Crow Tengu's face and the edges of its wings glowed with glowing fire. The water was about to boil. The breeze blew, and the water in the pot gurgled. From such a high place, it was possible to directly
Looking out over the sea of Tokyo Bay, there are white sails under the sun.
"It is a great honor for this tea to be praised by the young dragon-slaying hero." Tachibana Masamune said, "I have nothing to entertain you, so let's use this Japanese tea ceremony."
"Are you Japanese?" Chu Zihang looked at Masamune Tachibana with a scrutinizing gaze.
Because he has a pair of glasses that can change his appearance, Chu Zihang is more sensitive to people's appearance. After all, if you want to change your appearance and become someone else, simple deformation is not enough. You also need to capture that
Characteristics of a person's face, record all the features carefully, so that it can become what you want it to look like.
Chu Zihang was not born a faceless man, nor was he blessed by acquired magical medicine. He was not very outstanding in this aspect. He could only rely on his excellent memory to observe the facial features of other people.
to record it.
So he is very sensitive to people's appearance.
Tachibana Masamune's nose is straight and his eyes are deep-set, and his facial lines are as clear as a knife. He is different from ordinary Japanese old people, but he has a pure black boy's color, and his every move is full of Japanese flavor.
"I am only half Japanese and the other half Russian," Tachibana Masamune said.
"I've been in Japan for many years, and many people can't tell that I'm half Russian. How did you tell, Mr. Chu?" Masamune Tachibana asked.
"It can be seen from the facial features that Mr. Tachibana's facial lines are stronger than those of ordinary Japanese people, and the color of the pores is lighter, which can be easily seen." Chu Zihang replied.
Old Tang also continued: "And judging by Mr. Ju's accent, he must have lived in Russia for a while."
This is something that neither Lu Mingfei nor Chu Zihang has any say in. Both of their native languages are Chinese. Chu Zihang is reticent so his English pronunciation is only slightly better than Lu Mingfei's.
But as a dragon that has lived for a long time and has been to almost every place for a while, it is easy to distinguish some subtle differences.
Among the people present, even Feng Mo Xiaorenlang and Yuan Zhisheng showed surprised expressions. It was obvious that the other family heads did not know about this.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, this matter still can't be hidden from people," Tachibana Masamune smiled, "Yes, I have lived in Russia for about 30 years. It was still the Soviet era. Everyone ate the allocated food, and the children
Be proud to wear the military uniform."
Japan and Russia once fought in Northeast China. After World War II, there were quite a few mixed-race Japanese and Russians. Moreover, Tachibana Masamune was very open-minded and did not seem to be hiding any secrets.
When the water boiled, Tachibana Masamune picked up the iron kettle, poured the boiling water into the tea bowl, and then poured out the water. This is the standard Japanese tea ceremony procedure. The first hot water is just used to heat the tea bowl. Then he picked out the tea bowl with a wooden tea spoon.
Put two spoonfuls of tea powder into the teacup, then take a large spoonful of hot water from the iron pot and pour it into the teacup. Stir the tea gently first. His technique is light and solemn, and the big sleeves of the linen kimono are flying in the breeze.
Like a violinist playing in the wind, the silent music overflows like a vast ocean.
"What are you doing?" Lu Mingfei quietly poked his senior brother. Chu Zihang had read a lot of books, so he should know what to do in this situation.
Chu Zihang shook his head slightly.
It's not like he has read all the books. Generally speaking, he will only read those books that are more helpful to him. And many times, these things may not be mentioned in the books.
Then Lu Mingfei turned to Old Tang for help.
Old Tang also made a helpless gesture.
Please, please, he just inherited a memory that lasts for ten thousand years. He may not be able to digest a lot of things in it, let alone these trivial and messy etiquette things.
Constantine also looked at the other three people blankly.
Although he is the oldest person present - Old Tang believes that he has only inherited Norton's identity and memory, and does not admit that he is an old monster tens of thousands of years old. He is still a young man in his twenties, but in life
He really doesn't have much experience in this aspect.
Since he was born, he has been too weak due to physical reasons, so he has been well protected by his older brother. He has developed an innocent character and really doesn't know much about the outside world. Let alone these complicated things.
Tea ceremony etiquette.
The four of them, Lu Mingfei, stared at each other, and they all saw confusion in each other's eyes.
Lu Mingfei quickly took out the amulet from his arms, holding the amulet and chanting Brother Fool's honorable name desperately in his mind.
If I check it directly with my mobile phone now, it would be too embarrassing in front of everyone.
At this moment, the only way to do it is to call for help from off-field.
…………
On the other side, Zhou Mingrui, who was leisurely controlling a large number of moves while playing a game, received a remote call from his resentful brother. He really wanted to curse.
Honorable names are not used for making phone calls!
Can you please respect his character who is currently "sleeping"?
His auto-reply bug is used to restore the prayers of loyal believers, not to provide you with off-site assistance!
Zhou Mingrui really wanted to take out the Poseidon's staff from the historical projection and give it to Lu Mingfei's head, so that this brat would understand what it means to respect the gods.
If it weren't for him here, but for another god, such as Leodro, it would be great if this kid could leave the whole body behind.
Of course, the Poseidon Cane cannot be pulled out of this world, so Zhou Mingrui gave up later.
Then he asked the insect on duty to use a very enigmatic voice to prompt Lu Mingfei in his mind.
"The person who makes tea will face the patterned side of the tea bowl towards the person who is drinking tea. The guest should put it on the ancient silk gauze and turn it clockwise twice to show respect to the person who makes the tea. The guest drinks the tea soup and puts it in the cup.
Rotate the teacup counterclockwise twice, lower your head to admire the pattern on the teacup, show your appreciation, and you can also give two compliments."
And out of humane considerations, Zhou Mingrui kindly put the reply message to Lu Mingfei into the minds of the other three people.
Except for Constantine who didn't know the inside story, everyone present was basically his people.
After hearing the reminder from the gods, the three people breathed a long sigh of relief.
