Chapter 295 Neutrality ([-])

The man stood in the shadow, and he himself became a shadow blocking the gray original.

But using the cicadas, Hui Yuanchu could still clearly see the expression on his face.

He was also looking at Saioudai with a complicated expression, as if he was looking at something he didn't want to see but had to see.

Hui Yuanchu looked at Guan Xu's expression and blurted out involuntarily: "What is your relationship with her?"

He was still deeply impressed by Guanxu's previous attitude towards Saioudai, and he also felt Guanxu's disgust for Saioudai.This kind of emotion cannot be directed at unrelated people.

The only question is, what is Guan Xu’s specific identity?

Saiwangdai's mother's admirer, or Saiwangdai's father's enemy, so he hates the girl?

Or, a more exciting guess is that Guanxu is a suitor from the Sai dynasty who transcends generations?Hui Yuanchu suddenly felt that with Guan Xu's bad temper and narrow-mindedness, if he was rejected, he would really do such a thing.

Guan Xu slowly turned around, glanced at him, and then replied in the most rude way: "It has nothing to do with you."

Hui Yuan was not easily scared off.He continued to stare up at Guanxu and said, "I heard that the Yuliuhun is the memory of Saiwang Dai."

This time, Guan Xu took a deep drag on his cigarette: "Oh, you saw it..."

Then he paused, and said dismissively, "——do you still care about other people's affairs?"

"You should think more about how to let yourself and that little fox live to the end in the Shenzhi Festival, right?"

"That's true..." Hui Yuanchu curled his lips, "But you came to me just to advise me to be careful?"

The man continued to make a sneering look, and said ironically, "Do you think I will have time to care about you?... Well, actually, I do have time every day. But just because I have time, it doesn't mean any Cats, cats and dogs, I have to worry about them."

"You have no right to be worried about me."

"You have too much self-awareness. No one came to see you specially. On the contrary, I have been staying at the shrine alone and peacefully. You suddenly came here and became an eyesore."

"It's just that when I saw your disgusting idiot face, I suddenly remembered a little thing... I seemed to have agreed to a certain request from Onishiyaji before."

Hearing this, Hui Yuanchu looked away and noticed a familiar figure at the bottom of the steps not far away - Onishi Gongji appeared there at the right time, smiling and making a "come on" gesture to Hui Yuanchu. .

Guan Xu also turned to look at the woman in the distance: "——She asked me to tell you when I have the opportunity, about the current situation of the Shenzhi Festival and the future situation."

Daxi Palace Secretary saluted Guanxu with a kind and gentle smile.

"But, I have changed my mind now." Guan Xu turned around and suddenly changed the subject, "I don't want to tell you that now."

"why?"

"Of course it's because of your stupid gossip." Guan Xu looked unhappy, "No matter who you are, you will be unhappy after your personal affairs are explored, right?"

Onishiyaji, who was not far away, could obviously hear the conversation here.The old woman smiled bitterly and made a "please" gesture to him.

"Oh...then what should I do to make you willing to explain to me again?"

Guan Xu didn't answer, he just raised his head and slowly blew out a smoke ring into the air with a look of disdain.

Huiyuan didn't answer the call at first, and waited.

So Guan Xu yelled: "Why, do you want me to teach you about this kind of thing?"

"Forget it, fortunately, my only advantage is that I have enough patience when facing idiots. Then I will teach you-"

"At this time, you should say - 'Please, tell me the way to win'."

The reason why Hui Yuan was silent at first was because he decided not to answer this man's questions.

But since the other party has reached the stage of talking to himself, he can only sigh and say: "Will it be useful if I just ask? ... No, I mean, is what you told me really useful?"

"What are you doubting? I am Mi Yi from the Shrine, and I am at the same level as the palace ministers of other small societies." Guan Xu naturally raised his head and gestured while smoking a cigarette, "Guess, as the host of the ceremony, I How many secrets and information do you know that you, as 'participants', would not have known?"

"I see..." Hui Yuan nodded, and then simply said, "I refuse."

"What -" "I don't care about secrets and information at all. Anyway, I will be the winner in the end."

"You're so confident." Guan Xu sarcastically said, his face full of disgust, as if he would turn around and leave the next moment.

"And... I'm not asking you." But Hui Yuanchu hadn't finished speaking yet. He said in an affirmative sentence, "Because in fact, it's you who asked me for something."

The man was about to take steps and paused, frozen in place: "Are you kidding me?"

"Without my stop, the apostle would have won the Sacred Leaf Festival and become Saio. The Shinto sect you belong to in the shrine doesn't want to see this happen either... In other words, those who want me to win are more pressing. It’s you, not me.”

Hachimangu Shrine...or rather the Shinto sect of the shrine suddenly colluded with the apostles and arranged for craftsmen to participate in the ceremony. This arrangement caught the Shinto sect and other shrines off guard.

With the support of Hachiman Shrine, craftsmen must have known the information of other fasting palaces well.But on the other hand, according to Qian Shen's description, others could not find out the origin and background of the craftsman at all for a while.

Priests and shrine maidens can use magic in Heian Kyo, but in addition to magic, craftsmen also have strange abilities that belong only to themselves.

Finally, don’t forget that the craftsmen come from the Crusaders.Craftsmen are familiar with battlefields and fighting better than anyone else.Although in Heian Kyo, the shrine maidens would adapt to killing by switching channels... But the craftsmen didn't even have to adapt. After all, they were already professional murderers on weekdays.

Under the overlap of these factors, the craftsman's original probability of winning this Divine Branch Festival would have been very high.

All the entrants have been fixed, and even if someone from the Shinto sect has the ability to stop the apostles, they are no longer able to join.

Originally, the craftsmen were ready to go on a killing spree - but at this moment, both parties discovered that Hui Yuanchu suddenly appeared during the ceremony.

Orokuoi hid everyone's attention, passed through Onishi Gongji of Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, and also borrowed the "Raika Shrine" of Ibuki Raika, a small shrine that usually would not be noticed by anyone, as a shell, quietly The earth sent Ash Yuanchu in.

So, everything reversed again.

In this case, Hui Yuanchu has become the only savior of the Shinto sect.Taking into account the entire incident and receiving a hint from Da Xi at this time, Hui Yuanchu had already understood the matter.

Because he could not deny it, Guan Xu fell silent, and the pipe froze in his hand.

"You are not always so stupid and brainless... At certain times, when it is related to a certain person, your brain is surprisingly good." He sighed.

Hui Yuanchu was a little in awe. Guan Xu was quite powerful in this regard - he had obviously lost the verbal battle, but he could still continue to mock the opponent with strong confidence. He was actually the one who looked so majestic that he had won. Same.

However, due to admiration, he continued to ask: "So, what is the relationship between you and Saioudai?"

Guan Xu was really stunned for a moment this time, then frowned and looked him up and down: "...You are so evil-minded that you have come back to this issue again. Is this issue so important to you?"

"It's not important. But it will affect my mood."

"You have to understand that in this transaction, what the palace has to pay and what the group can gain actually has little to do with me." Hui Yuanchu shrugged.
"And what does it have to do with me?...In fact, it just depends on my mood and my favor."

"Whether I am in a happy mood will affect whether I will help you deal with the apostle without any mercy... Actually, I quite like craftsmen."

Hui Yuanchu added in his mind, to be precise, what he likes is the taste of craftsmen.Or every body of the craftsman.

Hui Yuan was not interested in rewards such as money.Miss Zhe will naturally worry about what the shrine should pay and ask for it from the shrine.

But an organization is an organization, and as an individual who is the final executor, Hui Yuanchu himself also wants some kind of reward...but not much, he just wants to be satisfied with his curiosity.

Hui Yuanchu's expression was very straightforward, and Guan Xu obviously couldn't turn a blind eye to it.

"Please don't flatter yourself. Curiosity is the ladder of human progress, and yours is just a gossip." He sneered out of habit and fell silent again, seeming to weigh the situation.

Finally, he made a decision quickly.

"Okay, actually I don't care at all. Since you plan to waste your precious favors on such insignificant things, of course I can satisfy you..." He showed a look of pity towards Hui Yuanchu.

After taking several more puffs of cigarette, Guan Xu opened his mouth and formally answered Hui Yuanchu's previous question.

"A biological daughter," he said.

……what?

In addition to the unexpected surprise, Hui Yuanchu also had a sense of déjà vu.
