Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

Generally, shrines are built on mountains. There is a long road from the torii to the main hall, called the "sando". However, there is really not enough space in one building, so the first sight of the shrine is the torii. At the back is the building.

Lu Mingfei followed Ying in. Before entering the main hall, Ying held a copper basin filled with water. Lu Mingfei washed his hands and rinsed his mouth. This was the "hand water ceremony" before visiting the shrine.

After Lu Mingfei and Yuan Zhisheng performed the hand-washing ceremony, Sakura bowed and left, and Lu Mingfei followed Yuan Zhisheng into the main hall.

The main hall is extremely spacious, with a huge curtain hanging inside. There are eight small tables under the big curtain. Different long knives are enshrined on the tables. Eight different family crests are depicted in gold on the handles. Seven of the long tables have There was a person sitting on his knees, and only one room was empty.

Seeing Lu Mingfei come in, six of them stood up and bowed. Only a red-haired girl with a black gauze covering her face remained unmoved. Her red and white miko dress looked out of place in a shrine.

"Lu Jun, let me introduce to you..." Gen Zhisheng walked to the seven people and introduced, "This is the head of the Ryoma family, Mr. Ryoma Genichiro. Mr. Ryoma Genichiro is the current head of the Japanese branch."

The long knife on the table behind the head of the Ryoma family has the head of a divine horse on the handle. It is undoubtedly the hand of a master. The horse seems to jump into reality at any time. However, contrary to the head of the horse, the head of the Ryoma family seems to be experiencing A man in crisis, wearing a meticulous suit. As a mixed race, he is somewhat bald and has no energy. If he plays a social animal in a TV series, he might win several acting awards.

"The head of the Inuyama family, Mr. Inuyamaga. Mr. Inuyamaga is the first branch director. The Tamamozen Club that entertained you yesterday is the property of the Inuyama family," Minamoto said.

The gray-haired head of the Inuyama family looked very kind, with a warm and hearty smile: "Originally, I should have gone to greet him in person last night, but a place full of beautiful girls suddenly squeezed in. An old man like me, with a wrinkled face, probably would It has disturbed everyone's interest, so I have postponed the meeting to today, please forgive me."

"The head of the Sakurai family, Ms. Sakurai Nanami, she also serves as the inspector of the Japanese branch." Minamoto introduced the only woman who stood up and bowed. The other woman was still sitting firmly in the same place, with her hands curled up in the miko's hands. The skirt has wide sleeves.

The head of the Sakurai family is actually a stunning young woman. Although she deliberately dresses conservatively, the suit skirt cannot hide her fiery curves. The pair of dark red thick-rimmed glasses are worn on her face. More colors like makeup.

"The head of the Fuma family, Mr. Fuma Kotaro, and the 'Wakatou' of the Sheqi Eighth Clan. When everyone's parents are away, Mr. Fengma decides on family affairs," Minamoto said.Although he said that, in fact, in recent years, when everyone was away, he was the actual leader, but he didn't like this feeling.

The head of the Fuma family was the only one present who looked like a gangster. This old man in a black kimono looked like he was forged from fine iron. His eyes were as cold as a knife. Standing in front of him, it felt like a knife was pointed between his eyebrows.But the name seems to be that of a famous figure in Japan more than 400 years ago. I don’t know what you thought when you chose the name. Aren’t you afraid of embarrassment?

"Next is me," Yuan Zhisheng pointed at himself, "I am the head of the Yuan family."

Lu Mingfei was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you, Senior Brother Yuan, to become the head of the family at such a young age. I thought the head of the family would be the elder of your family."

The expressions of all the family heads present changed slightly, except for the red-haired female family head whose face was covered by a black veil. Even if her expression changed, no one could tell.

Yuan Zhisheng was silent for a moment and explained: "I am the only member of the Yuan family currently."

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment to realize what Yuan Zisheng meant, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Yuan..."

"It's okay," Minamoto shook his head and introduced the head of the family who had been kneeling on the spot, wearing a witch costume. "This is the head of the Uesugi family, Eri Uesugi. She is not very good at socializing, and she can't speak. She is also rude. Please forgive me, Mr. Lu.”

The head of the Uesugi family looked up at Lu Mingfei and paid attention, which was considered a greeting.

"Eri!" Masamune Tachibana, who was dressed in white linen, scolded in a low voice: "Be polite to your distinguished guests!"

The head of the Uesugi family blinked, took out a small notebook from his sleeve, lowered his head and scribbled for a while, then raised it up: "Hello."

Lu Mingfei blinked, thinking that this girl didn't look very smart.

He is also disabled and cannot speak, which is a bit pitiful.

Lu Mingfei was a little troubled. This was the first time in his life that he communicated with a disabled person. He didn't know how to greet the female head of the family better. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to scratch his head. As a result, he suddenly noticed that the eyes of the head of the Uesugi family suddenly changed. He was staring at the left side of his waist.

Lu Mingfei lowered his head and looked over, only to realize that he had stretched his clothes because he stretched out his hand to scratch his head, causing the head of the Celestial Beast figurine that had been put in his coat pocket to reveal its head.

The head of the Uesugi family focused on Amamon's head protruding from his pocket.

136. Chapter 135 Liven up the atmosphere (laughing)

Genji Heavy Industries, in Xingshen Temple.

Lu Mingfei lowered his head and looked at the Tenyumon figure exposed in his pocket, and then looked at the head of the Uesugi family opposite, who was staring at the Tenyumon figure.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Mingfei took out the figure from his pocket, and then tentatively moved the figure to the left.

The head of the Uesugi family turned his head in the direction where the figure moved.

Lu Mingfei raised his hand upwards.

The head of the Uesugi family raised his head.

Lu Mingfei moved his hand downwards, and the head of the Uesugi family also lowered his head.

Lu Mingfei pulled the handle behind him again, and the head of the Uesugi family leaned forward slightly.

"Ahem!" Yuan Zhisheng coughed hard twice.

Only then did Lu Mingfei notice that the other family heads present were all staring at him with unkind eyes.

Lu Mingfei's heart skipped a beat - he almost forgot that this girl, who didn't look very smart, was also one of the highest-ranking people in the Sheqi family.

Shouldn't I be regarded as a provocative and disrespectful person by these people?Lu Mingfei was a little uneasy.

No, you have to do something to make up for it!

So Lu Mingfei rushed forward and handed the Celestial Beast figure to the head of the Uesugi family with both hands: "It's for you!"

Anyway, I bought it cheaply, so I don’t feel bad about giving it away.Moreover, looking at the expressions and eyes of the other family heads, he was really worried about whether he could get out of this house alive if he didn't "spend money to eliminate disasters".

The head of the Uesugi family stared at Lu Mingfei for a few seconds, his eyes fell on the Celestial Beast figure, he raised his hand, but quickly put it down, and turned to look at the last old man who had not been introduced yet.

Tachibana Masamune glanced at Lu Mingfei, his eyes twitched, and he took a deep breath before saying: "Eliyi, since it is a gift from a distinguished guest, then accept it."

Eriyi quickly raised her hand to take away the Celestial Beast figure, stuffed it into the wide sleeves of the miko uniform, then wrote in a small book and showed it to Lu Mingfei: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was good to get over this problem.

Then Eriyi lowered her head, and the pen kept scratching on the notebook, making a "swishing" sound, and it didn't stop for a long time.

"Ahem," Yuan Zhisheng coughed lightly, "The last one is Mr. Masamune Tachibana, the head of the Tachibana family, and the head of the eight Sheqi families."

"It's a pleasure to meet such an outstanding young man like you. Mr. Lu Mingfei, welcome to Japan." Masamune Tachibana, dressed in white linen, smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with Lu Mingfei. "Please say hello to Principal Angers for me. "

But he didn't know if it was an illusion, but Lu Mingfei always felt that he could see a "#" on the smiling old man's forehead.

But thinking about it carefully, Lu Mingfei had to admit that he had been a little too presumptuous just now. Although the head of the Uesugi family opposite looked like a not very smart girl, she was after all one of the most noble people in the Sheqi family, especially In terms of Japanese culture, the nature of his actions can even rise to the level of "humiliating the dignity of the eight Sheqi families". The family heads can still be polite to him, which is considered very cultivated.

Damn, have I been assimilated by Tony?Lu Mingfei secretly complained to himself.

Having just teased the head of the Uesugi family and made the atmosphere a bit tense, Lu Mingfei felt that now he should liven up the atmosphere.

correct!Lu Mingfei was moved in his heart, remembering that the principal said that he was very prestigious in the Japanese branch, and after he came to Japan, many people did mention the principal, and there was even an Inuyama family head in front of him who was the principal's student when he was young.

This means that the principal must have a very good reputation among the Sheqi family. Maybe talking to them about the principal can ease the atmosphere?

"Mr. Tachibana, nice to meet you. I will convey my greetings to the principal," Lu Mingfei said enthusiastically, holding Tachibana Masamune's hand, "It seems that everyone in the Japanese branch has a very good relationship with the principal."

As soon as these words came out, whether it was an illusion or not, Lu Mingfei felt that the surroundings seemed to be quiet for a few seconds, except for the rustling sound of the Uesugi family head's writing.

After a few seconds of silence, Tachibana Masamune's smile remained unchanged: "Yes, yes, the eight Sheqi families were cared for by the principal back then. It was out of respect for Principal Angers that we joined the college and became members of the college. Japan Branch.”

The principal is actually so popular in Japan?He is indeed a legendary dragon slayer who has been active for nearly a hundred years!Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After introducing all the family heads, Yuan Zhisheng sat down at the last empty table. There was a low table in front of Tachibana Masamune, and Lu Mingfei sat down opposite the table. There was a charcoal stove lit on the table, and a switch was sitting on the stove. Western iron kettle, the iron kettle is dark and heavy, the upper part has countless blunt thorns like a durian, and the lower part is carved with a red-faced and long-nosed Crow Tengu, flying in the flowing clouds and flames with open wings.

The charcoal fire burned the bottom of the pot red, and Yatengu's face and the edges of its wings glowed with fire.The water is about to boil.The water in the jug gurgles as the breeze blows.From such a high place, you can directly overlook the sea surface of Tokyo Bay, with white sails under the sun.

"Is this a Japanese tea ceremony?" Lu Mingfei was a little excited. This was the first time he had seen a Japanese tea ceremony in reality. In Tony's world, he usually went out with Tony. Tony liked parties and spirits. For those who walked in a quiet and elegant way, He didn't catch a cold, so Lu Mingfei had never experienced a Japanese tea ceremony.

Tachibana Masamune nodded: "There is nothing to entertain distinguished guests, so let's use this Japanese tea ceremony."

Lu Mingfei subconsciously glanced at the head of the Sakurai family and the Uesugi family - based on his experience watching anime, a beautiful woman should be pouring tea at this time, right?

But what disappointed him was that neither of the two family heads had any intention of getting up. It was probably the tall old man in front of him who was entertaining him.

hateful!What’s a Japanese tea ceremony without beautiful girls?

No, now is not the time to expect a beautiful girl to pour tea. Lu Mingfei looked around and found that the other family heads still didn't look at him particularly friendly. This proved that the effect he had just used to activate the atmosphere with the principal was not very effective, and he still needed to continue working hard.

If you continue to work hard... how about Lao Lao's daily routine?Lu Mingfei made a decision silently.

Immediately he noticed something - Tachibana Masamune's accent had some Russian characteristics.

In Tony's world, Lu Mingfei would not only accept Tony's teachings, but also communicate with other scholars, so he specially learned some more popular languages, such as Russian, French, Spanish, Japanese and Portuguese. However, The main purpose of learning Japanese is to facilitate watching anime, and the purpose of learning Portuguese is to facilitate visiting the little Tiannu’s mother’s house in the future.

Because of the spirit of speech, although he did not put much effort into language learning, Lu Mingfei still learned several languages ​​​​at the native level. Therefore, he was proficient in Japanese and Russian and was keenly aware of Tachibana Masamune's Japanese accent. He has the habit of speaking Russian, which means that he learned Russian earlier than he learned Japanese. Russian is his real mother tongue, so he brought the Russian accent and habit into Japanese.

Moreover, although Tachibana Masamune has pure black pupils and a strong Japanese flavor in every move he makes, his nose bridge is straight and his eyes are sunken, and his facial lines are as clear as a knife. They are not the common Asian facial contours, but more like A mixed race of white and yellow people.

So Lu Mingfei guessed that he was of mixed Japanese and Russian descent and had lived in Russia for a long time.

Isn’t this a topic?

"Mr. Ju, judging from your accent, have you lived in Russia for a long time?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Tachibana Masamune was silent for a moment before saying: "I am only half Japanese and the other half Russian. I lived in Russia until I was 30 years old, and then I came to Japan and returned to my family."

Except for the head of the Uesugi family, who was still writing something seriously like a Miyoshi student, everyone present showed expressions of surprise, even people like Fuma Kotaro and Minamoto Chiaki who seemed to be unsmiling.

They looked at each other quietly, communicating their opinions with their eyes.

The first reaction in the minds of most family heads is - this time the S-class is indeed coming with bad intentions. Do you want to question Mr. Tachibana's legitimacy as the head of the family just based on his bloodline and origin?

But soon many family heads sneered from the bottom of their hearts.

Indeed, logically speaking, a person with half Russian ancestry is not suitable to be the supreme leader of a Japanese mixed-race family, but everyone has seen everything the patriarch has done for the Sheqi family. No one is dissatisfied with his prestige. Just being a Japanese-Russian hybrid is not enough to shake the prestige of everyone. This S-class is still too naive.

However, Tachibana Masamune really didn't want to have an in-depth chat with Lu Mingfei on this issue. After all, it was not something worth showing off that the heads of the eight Sheqi families had Russian ancestry.

At exactly this moment, the water in the iron kettle began to boil. Masamune Tachibana changed the subject and said, "The water is boiling. I'm here to serve tea to the guests."

Lu Mingfei sighed with disappointment - as expected, it was not a beautiful girl who came to pour tea.

Ju Zhengzong didn't know what Lu Mingfei was thinking, so he 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 used a wooden tea spoon to pick out two spoonfuls of tea powder and put it into the tea bowl. He then took a large spoonful of hot water from the iron kettle and prepared to pour it into the tea bowl...

At this time, Lu Mingfei suddenly said: "Mr. Orange, I am very curious about the principal's affairs in Japan. Can you tell me about it?"

Lu Mingfei's idea was very simple. He also saw that Tachibana Masamune didn't want to talk in depth about the topic of Russia, so he wanted to turn the topic back to the principal. Moreover, he was really curious about what the principal did in Japan back then, so other people The main story tells a heart-warming story about the friendship between the principal and the eight Sheqi families, which should help to bring him closer to the family heads.

But unexpectedly, Masamune Tachibana's hand shook and the hot water spilled out of the bowl.

The other family heads looked at Lu Mingfei with dark eyes—are they here to provoke?This guy is definitely here to provoke!

Seeing that Tachibana Masamune spilled the water, Lu Mingfei enthusiastically picked up the towel on the side to help wipe the water.

Tachibana Masamune quickly apologized: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Lu."

"It's okay, it's normal for old people's hands to shake occasionally. After all, there are very few principals who are more than 100 years old and still more energetic than young people." Lu Mingfei said.

Tachibana Masamune took a deep breath and did not continue to speak.

To other family heads, it was obvious that the connotation of Lu Mingfei's words was far different from that of Angers, so they looked at Lu Mingfei with even more unkind eyes.

Just when the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence again, an unexpected person broke the silence.

The head of the Uesugi family, whose face was covered by a black gauze, suddenly stood up and walked to Lu Mingfei, his red hair and the wide sleeves of the miko uniform swaying slightly.

She took the small notebook she had been writing in, tore off a piece of paper and handed it to Lu Mingfei.
