152: Chapter 152 The Little Witch's Request
"Brother, aren't you dressed a little too casually?" Jiang Qin couldn't help but say on the road.
At this moment, the girls each had their own beauty, but Fang Xun could only be described as having a rudimentary human form.
Although he was still handsome, of course.
But this attire...
"What's wrong?"
Fang Xun glanced down at himself.
Very proper green floral shorts, and a very proper red floral shirt.
This was an outfit he specifically put together to come on vacation.
He saw people dressing like this for vacation online.
"Isn't this great?"
Fang Xun confidently tried to flip his hair.
As soon as he raised his hand, he looked at Qi Lian, and then at Jiang Qin.
These two girls seemed to have said something similar before.
Fang Xun's raised hand struggled for a moment, then dropped back down.
"Brother, what's wrong with your hand?" Tang Xiaotang asked curiously.
"Nothing, nothing. Just twitched a bit," Fang Xun said, feeling a pang of awkwardness.
"Brother, Uncle Wang also knows a little bit of medicine. Should we ask Uncle Wang to take a look?" Tang Xiaotang immediately showed concern when she heard Fang Xun twitch.
"Uncle Wang knows medicine too?" Fang Xun was truly shocked this time.
Is he that low-key?
"Yes, Uncle Wang graduated from the Imperial Capital Medical University! It's just that he really likes driving."
Tang Xiaotang explained.
...A monthly salary of one hundred thousand, who wouldn't like driving?
Not long after, the heavily modified bus arrived at its destination.
The World Governing Shrine Society was situated on a not-so-tall mountain, and the bus parked at the foot of this mountain.
Upon landing, Fang Xun immediately noticed the spatial stabilization System set up here.
Clearly, this was another place heavily protected by Sakurajima.
"Let's go!"
Tang Xiaotang got off the bus first, pulling Jiang Qin along as they walked forward together.
The other few people, along with Fang Xun, followed behind.
In the rear, Fang Xun and Qi Lian were in the middle, Shen Yue was next to Qi Lian, and Uesugi Akemi was beside Fang Xun.
That red floral shirt and green shorts were probably a bit too conspicuous.
As Fang Xun walked, quite a few people looked their way.
Most people visiting the shrine now were from Sakurajima. Sakurajima natives were very familiar with these archetypes, so it was just Fang Xun's appearance that was a bit too flamboyant.
After waiting a moment, Fang Xun quietly moved to the back of the group.
Qi Lian followed him, trailing behind.
Next to Qi Lian, Fang Xun couldn't resist asking Qi Lian a somewhat private question.
For instance, had that Little Green Tea, Tang Xiaotang, made any inappropriate moves on Qi Lian.
Qi Lian looked at Fang Xun quite strangely:
"Hey Brother, but I belong to you."
Hearing this, it felt like a heavy hammer striking Fang Xun's chest, momentarily stopping his breath.
Fang Xun suddenly felt like he had been completely defeated by a pure love warrior.
Before, he thought it was wonderful when girls were close, and that girls couldn't do much else besides being close.
Now, after what Qi Lian said, Fang Xun felt that wouldn't do.
It seemed he needed to have a serious talk with Little Green Tea.
Thinking this, Fang Xun looked ahead.
Past Shen Yue and Uesugi Akemi, Jiang Qin and Tang Xiaotang were walking intimately together.
Looking at them, Fang Xun noticed another problem.
The 'other woman'... seemed to be him.
...This might be getting a bit messy.
He should find an opportunity to ask his sister. Jiang Qin still hadn't noticed Tang Xiaotang's ulterior motives.
As an older brother, he indeed had the right and duty to guide his sister.
If Jiang Qin didn't like Tang Xiaotang, he could just help Jiang Qin refuse her.
Fang Xun nodded secretly upon thinking this.
It was decided; he would find a chance to tell Jiang Qin.
While Fang Xun was lost in thought, Qi Lian obediently stayed by his side.
Not long after, after passing through the layers of torii gates, the group finally arrived in front of the shrine.
Walking here, the atmosphere had changed significantly.
It was as if they had crossed the boundary between humans and gods, truly arriving in the Domain of the Gods.
"Brother, this place feels very different," Qi Lian observed the surroundings.
There were some unusual fluctuations of power here.
"Is there?" Fang Xun hadn't noticed any of this.
In his view, this place was quite fun.
It would be even better if that Grand Shrine Master wasn't walking this way.
Fang Xun kept signaling the Grand Shrine Master with his eyes, but unfortunately, the Grand Shrine Master seemed oblivious and continued walking this way with his entourage.
However, when he reached them, Fang Xun realized the Grand Shrine Master wasn't approaching him.
Instead, he walked directly toward Uesugi Akemi.
At that moment, Fang Xun remembered that the Grand Shrine Master had been wearing a mask the last time he saw him.
But that didn't make sense either. Qi Lian was here too.
Even if he didn't recognize him, he should recognize Qi Lian.
Indeed, as Fang Xun thought this, the Grand Shrine Master slowed his steps, bowed slightly to him, and then continued forward.
He was recognized after all.
Looking at it this way, Old Wei wasn't good enough; he never figured out who he was.
"Miss Uesugi."
The Grand Shrine Master looked at Uesugi Akemi, who was wearing aPlatycodon grandiflorus (Kikyō) cosplay outfit, and smiled:
"I have long heard that Miss Uesugi likes miko outfits. Why not come and take a position at our World Governing Shrine Society? Our World Governing Shrine Society will provide Miss Uesugi with the appropriate remuneration."
"No need, I am already an Onmyoji of the Onmyōryō. Besides, this is just cosplay."
Facing someone of the Grand Shrine Master's rank made Uesugi Akemi quite nervous.
But Uesugi Akemi still maintained an attitude that was neither servile nor overbearing.
"Haha, no matter. The World Governing Shrine Society always welcomes Miss Uesugi."
The Grand Shrine Master nodded slightly, as if he had merely come to see and appreciate a junior, then he led his people away.
"Wow, who was that, Akemi?" Shen Yue looked at the departing figure, feeling a bit timid.
"That is the Grand Shrine Master of the World Governing Shrine, an ally of our Onmyōryō," Uesugi Akemi explained.
"Wow, so he's the owner here!" Shen Yue was shocked.
The owner of this place spoke so familiarly with Uesugi Akemi.
Did it turn out that besides her good sister Lian Lian, there wasn't anyone else around her who was of the same rank?
Thinking this, Shen Yue unconsciously looked toward Qi Lian.
Her good sister was currently following Fang Xun closely, looking quite bored.
So, Shen Yue backed away a few steps timidly and pulled Qi Lian over.
"Good sisters, forever," Shen Yue held Qi Lian's hand very seriously.
After graduation, they would still be working together. Was there any closer sisterhood than this? No way!
Qi Lian: "Huh?"
Meanwhile, Fang Xun had unknowingly become isolated.
Just as Fang Xun was alone, a little miko ran over and stopped beside him.
The little miko was not old, looking to be about seven or eight years old.
She clasped her hands together, holding them against her chest, and looked up at Fang Xun with her bright, watery eyes.
"Divine Lord, the Grand Shrine Master wishes to invite you over, won't you? Divine Lord. Won't you, Divine Lord?"
