Modern Onmyoji

Chapter 31 Who is lying
When I heard this, I was a little dazed.In just a few short conversations, the image of my master in my heart has undergone earth-shaking changes.Originally, I only thought of my master as a poor beggar, or a folk hermit.But now it seems that my master is the master of a mysterious organization.Participating in a mysterious event, it is very likely that countless cronies will be silenced in order to protect a certain secret.

For a while, I couldn't accept this reality, and Sun Tingting was also a little lost in thought.Maybe she doesn't know what kind of history the guild she belongs to has.In the end, it was Professor Wang who broke the silence, "That's it. Let's talk about your enrollment."

"Don't suddenly insert such funny things when talking about heavy topics!" Sun Tingting said with a cold glance at Professor Wang.

"How can you call it a funny topic!" Professor Cui raised his eyebrows and said sharply, "Almost all the talents in the search for dragon officials died in that research. He is very likely to be the last searcher in the world." Long Tianguan, even if it does not reach the level of fishing for dragons, it is still quite valuable."

"That's enough! Let me be quiet!" I yelled with anger in my heart for no reason.When I shouted this, several people present were shocked for a moment.I scratched my hair irritably. At this time, I had long forgotten what the purpose of coming here was.Vaguely, I seem to find that I have been stirred into a huge mystery.

After knowing what happened back then, the passion to inherit Master's hope in my heart was gone.There was just a sense of powerlessness, and the image of Master in my heart changed 180 degrees.It's quite possible that he's playing a game of chess and I'm just one of his pawns.Back then when I came to our village, accepted me as an apprentice, took me to that mysterious ancient tomb, and even spent those 20 years in a daze, it was all master's arrangement.

This feeling of being controlled by others from the beginning to the end makes me very uncomfortable. Since I am just a pawn, there is no need for the pawn to do anything for the chess player.Because everything has been arranged by the chess player.

"I don't want to know about the Tomb Raiders Guild or the original secrets! Now that the matter has been clarified, I don't want to have anything to do with you people anymore. I'm just calling you bothering me today, this is the last time we meet, In the future, I will not seek anything from the Tomb Raiders Guild, and I hope that you will not intervene in my life anymore. From then on, we will not interfere with each other!" I said with a bit of anger, and got up and left after speaking.

Surprisingly, no one stopped me.It's just that from time to time someone looks through strange eyes.In this way, I came to the outside of the building, and I took a deep breath, eager for fresh oxygen as if I had just experienced a strenuous exercise.There was the sound of kicking footsteps behind her, and Alina walked over quickly.

"Anything else?" I said, looking at her.

"I—" Elina showed a hesitant look on her face, and to be honest, this kind of expression was very incongruous on her face.In my impression, she belongs to the kind of person who is not very talkative, but once she decides to speak, she will speak out directly.

"I have something to talk to you about what happened just now." Alina said, "It's just the two of us, do you understand?"

It took me a long time to understand the meaning of Elina's words. It is obvious that Sun Tingting has a special status in the guild, so the conversation just made Elina leave, but Sun Tingting can stay.So now Elina is curious about what happened just now, and wants to find out from me in private?I can't tell she's such a gossip, if it were normal, I would still be interested in chatting with this little beauty.But now I feel very annoyed, "Sorry, I'm not in the mood right now."

"Zhao Jue," Elina stopped me and said, "I don't know what they told you just now, but what I want to tell you is that the Tomb Raiders Guild is not as united as you think. They just represent a faction .There are some things I can’t tell you in front of them—especially not in front of Tingting.”

Elina's words were like a slap in the face, and I suddenly felt as if I had grasped the point.Maybe things are not as I thought.Maybe there will be a turning point here in Elina.And at this moment, Sun Tingting followed up from behind.Alina hastily said in a low voice, "I'll go back to your house to find you tonight." After speaking, she changed into such an iceberg beauty who didn't care about anything, and Sun Tingting also walked by at this time.He pulled Alina over all of a sudden, glared at me and said, "Tell you! Stay away from Alina in the future!"

I returned home inexplicably, and my head has recovered from the muddy state just now.The more I thought about it, the more something went wrong, and all I heard from the beginning to the end were only one-sided words, and it was not certain whether these words were true or false.I still trust my master in my heart.I just waited until night, when the door was knocked at seven or eight o'clock.When I opened the door, I saw Alina wearing a jacket and her long hair coiled in a cap.That looks almost like the spy in the movie.But if someone else sees it, it can be regarded as a low-key dress.

"What are you going to tell me?" I said anxiously as I pulled her into the room.

"Tell me what they told you first." Alina asked directly.

I repeated what they told me.Elina was silent for a long time before slowly saying, "I don't know whether these things are true or not, but 30 years ago, we did lose a lot of Dragon-seeking Heavenly Officials. So far, Dragon-seeking Heavenly Officials are almost extinct."

"Then you mean they didn't lie to me." I asked strangely.

"I don't know about that, but I have something to tell you." Alina said, "After the president Li Tianjue left 30 years ago, the guild has not elected a new president. All decisions are made by the board of directors. Issued—you can also understand it as the elders. The president of the Tomb Raiders Guild has always been the Tianguan Diaolong, but now the Tianguan Diaolong has not appeared for a long time, and the voices in the guild demanding the election of a new president One of the factions is the most active, and that is Sun Tingting's family. Their ancestors were the authentic Taibao of the Tomb Road. They are still the backbone of the guild. There is a [-]% certainty that I can take it.”

"That is to say, if I choose to leave, the Sun family will be the biggest beneficiary." Hearing this, I felt a sudden realization.A clear line appeared in my mind.After Master left, the Sun family planned to take Master's place.The plan had already been completed.But my sudden appearance is likely to defeat all their plans.So letting me go is the best option.Although there is not enough evidence, there is no loophole in this conjecture.

Then the key is what happened 30 years ago, before Master left.Since the Sun family had reason to lie, the veracity of that story remains to be verified.I tried my best to recall every bit of my time with my master. In my impression, he was the kind of silent person.It is even more far away from the treacherous and evil people.Thinking of this, I don't believe what those people said even more.

"But what can I do? I'm not a dragon fishing official at all." I suddenly thought of something, and a few days of torture revealed my true nature.If you don't know Tianxing Fengshui, you won't be an adult. I am the heir of the master.So no matter what the facts are, I have nothing to do with who the president of the guild is.

"Actually, if you want to prove that you are the heir of the previous president, there are other ways." Alina said.

After hearing this, I was overjoyed and just wanted to ask her what method to use.But I shut up suddenly, because I thought of a question-why did Alina tell me these things.It's as if my leaving is beneficial to the Sun family, no one will do meaningless things.If I break the Sun family's plan, will it be beneficial to the faction behind Elina?Then, for profit, will they lie to me like the Sun family?
