Hinatsuru Akina's eyes revealed a hint of mockery as she said, "Then we can only silently wait to die, waiting for all the other noble families to unite and punish us together!"
Yukino's eyes flickered slightly.
Luo Chen stroked his chin and remarked, "Is this Kyoto?"
"Never underestimate the historical heritage and rules of any region, after all, these are things that they have followed together for hundreds of years."
Hinatsuru Akina smiled, and after speaking, she looked at Luo Chen and asked, "Now, young master, you should understand whether what I said just now was intentionally flattering you to your detriment, right?"
------
P.S.: Is Yukino in her winter outfit here?
Chapter 301 That look was clearly from someone heartbroken by the boy they liked.
Luo Chen shrugged, laughing and crying at the same time, and said, "If that's the case, why didn't Wan Zhi tell me this sooner?"
"Magic?"
Hinatsuru Akina dismissed it, saying, "It's just a child's mentality. I didn't want Luo Chenjun to be in a dilemma or entanglement, so I went to Osaka to invite her master to come out of seclusion. If it were me, I wouldn't have such concerns, and I would definitely do everything I could to deal with the situation."
"I admire your decisiveness, Madam," Luo Chen said with a smile.
"Cough cough!"
"It's getting late, let's get off the bus quickly. Yukinoshita, since you're a guest brought by the young master, you don't need to be so reserved."
Hinatsuru Akina coughed twice and then turned to Yukino Yukinoshita to speak.
Luo Chen broke out in a cold sweat.
Damn! I almost forgot that Hirano was sitting in the back seat!
I'm so glad I didn't say anything more explicit!
Yukino Yukinoshita didn't suspect anything. If she had to say what she suspected, it would only be about the relationship between Luo Chen and the Miss Manji he mentioned.
After all, it seems that Miss Wan Zhi has always been very attentive and caring towards Luo Chen, and even his future residence will be at her home.
Because Hinatsuru Akina walked a little faster, Yukino Yukinoshita and Luo Chen had a good space for private conversation.
After much deliberation, Yukino Yukinoshita softly called out, "Luo Chenjun."
"Hmm?" Luo Chen tilted his head.
"Now that things have come to this point, you'll definitely be representing the O-Ichi family in the Meijin Tournament, right?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked.
"of course."
Luo Chen touched the tip of his nose and smiled, "While Wan Zhi's master, Shan Rui'ao, is not weak and is quite skilled among the seventh dan, he is still far inferior to the eighth dan."
"Shouldn't we reconsider? After all, this is our first time in Kyoto, and the first time we've learned that there are such rules here," Yukino Yukinoshita asked rationally.
"Isn't that unnecessary?"
Luo Chen spoke with considerable confidence, chuckling, "Anyway, no matter who I represent in the battle, I will defeat everyone and take first place."
Yukino Yukinoshita gently pinched her chin with one hand and pondered, "I don't really think so."
Luo Chen asked in surprise, "What?"
"Perhaps Luo Chenjun is really as powerful as you say, but at the same time, his choice to join the Imperial Kitchen, ranked in the teens, is simply for the sake of that Miss Manzhi, right?" Yukino Yukinoshita said with a half-smile.
Luo Chen's lips twitched.
Sure enough, he and Hinatsuru Ashina mentioned Machi's name so many times on the way that Yukino, with her keen senses, couldn't possibly hide it.
However, since we can't hide it any longer, fine, let's just lay it all out.
After all, Hirano is different from others. Ultimately, this girl is too perceptive. If she keeps trying to hide things, he will have a lot of headaches.
Luo Chen touched the tip of his nose and revealed, "Pretty much. Speaking of which, Wan Zhi is like one of my girlfriends."
Yukino Yukinoshita's clear eyes instantly turned colder, and for some reason, she took the opportunity to ask a couple more questions: "Where is Yumiko Miura?"
"You actually found out too?" Luo Chen was genuinely surprised this time. After a moment's hesitation, he nodded. "She did too."
"Luo Chenjun is just as I imagined, an absolute scumbag."
Yukino Yukinoshita gently raised her chin, gazing at the sky with such emotion.
"Hey~, although, being a scumbag is infinitely better than becoming a heartless bastard and a jerky who likes to hurt girls, right?" Luo Chen argued for himself.
"I don't want to discuss such a disgusting topic with that scumbag Luo Chenjun, please shut up." Yukino Yukinoshita said expressionlessly.
After saying that, she quickened her pace and walked alongside Hinatsuru Akina.
Luo Chen was both amused and exasperated.
Judging from this, Hirano will definitely ignore me for at least two days, right?
Iron is angry!
As Hinatsuru Akina walked, she glanced back at Luo Chen with a strange look in her eyes, a look that hadn't been there before.
After Yukino Yukinoshita's room was arranged first, it was Luo Chen's turn.
Hinatsuru Akina asked with amusement, "Young Master, this second young lady of the Yukinoshita family seems to have a close relationship with you."
"What do you mean by 'close relationship'? Madam, please stop teasing me. I swear, our relationship is as normal as it gets..." Luo Chen rolled his eyes.
"Really? Then why did the second young lady of the Yukinoshita family give that look just now? ... Only a woman would understand, and she would understand it at a glance."
"Was she heartbroken by the boy she liked?"
Hinatsuru Akina stepped forward, making up the bed for Luo Chen while still making sarcastic remarks.
"is it?"
Luo Chen was a little surprised. He touched his chin but couldn't figure it out, so he decided to put Ping Nai aside for now.
"Ashina, why haven't we seen anyone from the O-Ichi family along the way? Could it be that you've already bought this mansion?"
Luo Chen let Hina Tsuru help him tidy up inside and out, and then went to the tatami to make tea.
Hinatsuru Akina turned around and glared at Luo Chen, saying, "I don't have that ability. As an outsider, how could I have become so powerful in such an exclusive city as Kyoto in just one month?"
"I really believe you have the ability," Luo Chen said with a smile.
Hinatsuru Akina didn't even bother to roll her eyes this time. She had just finished tidying up and came over, kneeling opposite Luo Chen to help pour tea. She said, "In fact, even making you the representative of the Gonggoi family to compete in the Meijin Tournament is beneficial to me. As long as you win first place, the Gonggoi family will successfully succeed as the number one family next year. In Kyoto, the Wakura Onsen Village, which is affiliated with the Gonggoi family, can truly expand its 5.3 skills."
Luo Chen was quite surprised. "It can't be that bad. You've been here for so long, but it sounds like you've only just started."
"Is such that."
Hinatsuru Akina sighed and rubbed her forehead with a hint of helplessness. "The Kyoto families are just too deeply entrenched. Taking over this region is a million times more difficult than I imagined. If it weren't for the young master introducing me to Miss Manji, I probably would have already slunk back to Kanagawa."
"..." Luo Chen was speechless.
Since even Hinatsuru Akina says so, it seems that Kyoto, this so-called historically significant region, is indeed quite extraordinary.
"By the way, you just mentioned which family Kamina and Fujii represented. What about the other two 9th Dan? Who do they represent?" Luo Chen asked with some curiosity.
Chapter 302 "The Dark Nightmare" - Kento Kudan Itotani
"Two 9-dan A-level players?"
Hinatsuru Akina bent her fair index finger and tapped it lightly on the table, smiling as she said, "'All Things Heavenly Net' has chosen the third family, the Matsusaka family, while 'White-Clad Master' has always been a good friend of the head of the second family, the Kakuta family, so naturally he chose the second family."
"You spent a lot of money, didn't you?" Luo Chen clicked his tongue in amazement.
Hinatsuru Akina tilted her fair neck and chuckled, "I don't know about 'White-Clad Celebrity,' but as for 'All Things Tenraku,' I heard that the Matsusaka family offered a thank-you gift of 50 billion yen."
"50 million!"
Luo Chen rolled his eyes.
These Kyoto families are really willing to spend a fortune to get ranked.
"Don't you suddenly feel like you've lost out? If it weren't for joining the Oguri family for the sake of Magic, the young master could have received a reward of over 10 billion from other families," Hinatsuru Akina said with a smile.
"Do I look like that kind of person? Besides, what's 10 billion? In Adachi Ward, no amount of money can help." Luo Chen said irritably.
Hinatsuru Akina chuckled, nodded, and said, "So, young master, do you now think what I just said makes even more sense?"
"What?" Luo Chen asked in surprise.
"For the young master to personally visit us is already an immense favor and the best gift for the Yugo-Ichi family," Hinatsuru Akina said playfully, winking.
Luo Chen felt a little thirsty.
It's true, this usually dignified and serious businesswoman not only smiled a lot today, but she even winked! Playfully winked!
The contrast is overwhelming!
"Ahem! Young master, the head of the Imperial Kitchen family will be here soon." Hinatsuru Akina, with her keen eye, noticed Luo Chen's odd behavior and coughed lightly.
Luo Chen blushed slightly, pretending not to be embarrassed, and changed the subject: "By the way, you said that Shinobu Taishi and Meijin Yuzuru both chose the 3rd and 2nd families respectively, so what about the current number one family? Logically speaking, they should have more resources, right? Why don't they grab a 9A player or a young generation 48-dan as their representative? Or are they still pursuing Kuzuryu Yaichi?"
Hinatsuru Akina parted her red lips slightly, a smile playing on her lips, and subtly mocked Luo Chen: "Young Master, you're nervous, you've said so much all at once."
"Ah? Is there any?"
Luo Chen turned his face away angrily.
