Chapter 225 First Visit to the Three Houses
The entire conference was spent in Fran's distraction and the moderate nagging of the host.At dusk, Fran took away Yuki who had been playing with Natsume in the shikigami pile, and was about to go back home.
Because Fulan's mother wanted to stay to attend the internal meeting of the top onmyoji, Fulan took Yuki out of the house while being sent off by the deacon of Tuyumen's house. Jiu Lanshu who was waiting.
"Senior Shu?!" Yuuki widened her eyes and blurted out in surprise.
With an elegant smile on Jiu Lanshu's face, he praised gently: "You Ji, today you are extraordinarily beautiful."
A layer of blush appeared on Yuuki's cheeks, and before she had time to say anything, she heard Fulan beside her say coldly: "Senior Jiulan, please turn around! Now, immediately, immediately!"
You Ji saw that Jiu Lanshu's handsome face was visibly stiff, and then turned his back to them with a speechless expression.
Yuuki: "...???"
Yuki pulled the corner of Laflan's clothes, and asked inexplicably: "Lixiang...what's wrong? Is there something wrong with Senior Shu?"
Hearing You Ji's question, Jiu Lanshu turned around and immediately said: "Sister Lixiang, you can't be so cruel?!"
"I can!" Fulan snorted coldly, pulled You Ji over, looked her in the eyes seriously and said, "You Ji, do you know the ability of Senior Jiu Lan?"
You Ji glanced hesitantly at Jiu Lanshu who was helpless enough to hold on to the car door, and replied: "Well, I know Senior Shu is very powerful."
The corner of Fulan's mouth twitched, she pointed at Jiu Lanshu and said, "Then, do you know that someone has the ability to see through?"
"...Huh? Perspective?" Yuuki's expression was a little confused.
"It's just..." Fran explained with a sad face: "His sight can see through certain barriers to see reality, and to the highest extent he can see the blood vessels under the skin. Since he can see through walls and doors, I think Not to mention the clothes…”
"...What?!!!" You Ji folded her arms around her chest suddenly, looked in disbelief at Jiu Lanshu, whose back was facing her and propped her forehead, and screamed questioningly: "Senior Shu!"
Jiu Lanshu turned around helplessly and said, "You Ji, listen to my explanation..."
"Senior Shu! Please turn your back!"
Jiu Lanshu: "..."
Fulan looked at Yuuki whose face was flushed red and full of embarrassment, coughed softly and comforted: "That... Yuuki, I don't think senior Jiulan will activate his ability from time to time, in fact, I overreacted Yes. I told you this just to remind you to pay attention, so you don’t need to react so much.”
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo How of the ability?!
Fran was a little embarrassed: "Actually, clairvoyance is very helpful in combat. It's a good ability, but it's just..."
Jiu Lanshu: "...Sister Lixiang, you don't need to patch it anymore, thank you."
"Okay, anyway..." Fulan patted You Ji on the shoulder and said, "I informed Jiu Lanshu, oh no, Senior Jiu Lan came to pick you up back to school."
Yuki looked at Lixiang and asked in surprise, "Lixiang, aren't you going back?"
Fran smiled and shook her head: "I still have something to do, maybe... I will go back to school later, or just go home, but you can call me at any time. Yuki, I am very happy to 'date' with you today , then, see you at school on Monday."
"I'm also very happy, playing with Lixiang and...meet a lot of 'new friends'." Yuki replied with a smile: "Well, you should also pay attention to safety, don't go home too late , Ling said that the outside world is not peaceful recently..."
You Ji meekly walked to Jiu Lanshu's side, hesitated for a while and asked: "Senior Shu, can I take the seat behind you?"
Jiu Lanshu: "...Okay, You Ji, get in the car."
Fulan watched You Ji and Jiu Lanshu leave in the car, and then she looked at the cell phone she was holding tightly in her hand. After a while, she picked up the cell phone and dialed a number.
When the phone was connected, a somewhat old voice sounded:
"...Hello, this is Sanjo House."
Fran tightened her hands on the phone and said, "Hi, I'm... Fujimaru Tachika."
There was silence on the other end of the phone, and immediately replied: "Miss? Is it Miss?"
"Well, it's the phone number my mother gave me, saying that I can reach the housekeeper's grandpa, is that you?"
The old man's kind voice came from the phone: "Miss, you don't need to address me respectfully. Speaking of which, I haven't seen Missy for a long time. Miss, do you have any orders?"
Fran hummed lightly, and then said, "I want to meet... grandpa, is it convenient?"
"Miss, you don't have to be so polite, this is also your home. However, the master has been busy recently, please let me go and ask first, and please wait a moment, miss."
Not long after, Fran heard that the phone was picked up again.
"Miss, where are you? I'll send a car to pick you up."
"I'm near Tsuchimikado's house, please excuse me."
----------------
The Sanjo House is a very traditional Japanese-style mansion, covering a large area, with simple and elegant decoration, and almost all the furnishings are antiques.From the outside, it looks like the mansion of the ministers in the past. It is impossible to imagine that this old house will belong to the head of the three chaebols who have risen with various high technologies.
The hale and hearty old butler brought the maid to serve various snacks and drinks, and said kindly, "Miss, please wait a moment, and I will inform the master right away."
"No need."
A clear male voice came from behind the sliding door, the familiar voice made Fran's heart skip a beat.
The sliding door painted with the mountains of Songhe was opened, and a handsome man in a suit and leather shoes walked in. He had dark blue short hair, a pair of rimless glasses on a tall nose bridge, and a straight dark-colored man. The suit wraps the slender and straight body, making the shoulders wider and the legs longer.His young appearance looks like he is only in his 20s, but his calm demeanor that seems to accumulate over time makes him as majestic and wise as an old man.
The man scanned the room, and his eyes fell on Fran.The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, instantly melting that cold and indifferent temperament into a pool of tender spring water.
"Oh, look who this is? It turns out that my lovely 'little granddaughter' came to see grandpa."
The corner of Fran's mouth twitched, but considering the other people in the room, she still greeted politely: "...Grandpa, it's the first time we meet. I'm Tatsuka Fujimaru."
The visitor said with a smile: "Of course I know you are my little Lixiang. I have collected photos of you from childhood to adulthood, including the cute appearance of the baby crawling on the ground with bare buttocks."
The veins on Fulan's forehead were about to jump up. She was probably the fastest descending person in the world, from "mother" to "little granddaughter".
Fran took a deep breath secretly, and said straight to the point: "Grandpa, I have something to say to you alone."
The man raised his eyebrows and waved his hand to tell the housekeeper and maid to go down.
When the sliding door of the room was closed again, and the footsteps of people outside gradually faded away, Fran looked at the man sitting opposite her solemnly, and asked, "San Riyue?"
The man who was making tea looked up at Fulan, and asked with a smile, "Is Xiao Lixiang calling me?"
Fran leaned over and held Sankayue's hand holding the teapot, and said seriously, "Sankaiyue, I need an explanation."
Sanri Yuezong's original smiling expression turned cold. He obediently put the teapot on the table, sat upright, looked at Fulan without sadness or joy and asked, "Ji Jun, what explanation do you want?"
Looking at Mikazuki Zongjin's expression, Fulan became inexplicably agitated.She knocked on the table and counted: "About Xiaoxue, about my mother, about the so-called Santiao chaebol, about the holographic game "Gaia", and... where else is Santiao? I want to see him. "
"Don't worry, let's have tea and snacks first." Sanri Yuezong ignored Fulan's questioning, just lowered his head and pushed the refreshments and teacups over.
"Sanri Yuezong is near!" Fulan couldn't help raising her voice: "Let me ask you, where is the bastard in the three doors?!"
"Ji Jun!" Sanri Yue Zongjin suddenly raised his head, and looked deeply at Fran, with complex emotions suppressed under his tightly pursed lips.
"Ji Jun, don't ask any more questions. Since you have gained a new life, please live happily and happily, and take everyone's share with you. This is our expectation!"
"...What do you mean?" Fran also calmed down at this time, she sat down in her seat, and repeated in a firm tone: "San Riyue, I want to see Santiao Feijian, tell me, where is he?"
Sanri Yue Zongjin slowly closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Sorry, Ji Jun, he doesn't want to see you."
"What?" Fran asked incredulously, "San Riyue, can you say it again?"
Sanri Yuezong sat on the cushion with an indifferent expression, and repeated coldly: "Ji Jun, the person you want to see doesn't want to see you. Give up, you know, he wants to hide, and no one can find him."
"Hehe..." Fran said with a sarcastic smile: "He still hides from me? Sanriyue, I know if you don't tell me, you and him are in the same group! I have studied the development history of the Santiao consortium for decades, The patented technologies in those original projects were not created by you at all, right? Did he also develop Gaia? Did the holographic game room that was given to me also work with him?"
Fran suddenly stood up, and said to San Riyue condescendingly: "He will intervene in everything I do, and now I want to find him and he is hiding? San Riyue, I know him and you, you have always been in touch, he It's probably in this mansion, if you don't tell me, I'll find it myself!" After speaking, Fulan flung her sleeves and was about to rush out.
"Ji Jun!" Sanriyue grabbed Fulan, and Fulan staggered and fell into his arms, and the tea tray on the table was tossed and overturned on the tatami.
Fran struggled to get up, but San Riyue pressed her chest.
"Ji Jun..." The voice above his head was full of fatigue: "Ji Jun, don't go any further."
He patted Fulan's back again and again, and said like coaxing a child: "Ji Jun, don't think about him anymore, I will take good care of you."
"Ji Jun, I can be your son, your father, or your grandfather. I can adore you like a son, or guard you like a father and grandfather. I can even laugh at you Hand over to another man, as long as you can be happy and happy. Is this not enough? Is it not enough to have me? Can he do better than me? He ignores your thoughts, deceives you, hurts you, he will only Make you angry, make you sad. Such a man, ruthless, willful, paranoid, scheming, unscrupulous... Wouldn't it be good to leave that terrible and hateful man behind?"
Fran listened quietly to Sankayue Zongjin's chanting, then raised her hand and pushed him away, looked into those dark blue eyes, and said seriously: "Sankaiyue, take me to see him."
San Riyue's movements stopped, he pursed his lips and looked at the stubborn Fran, and after a while, he sighed deeply.
Sankai Yuezong stood up, lightly brushed off the crumbs of snacks stuck to his body, tidied some messy clothes, wiped his hair, and restored the dignified image when they first met.
He nodded coldly to Fran, who was watching him quietly, and said lightly, "If you insist, then come with me."
Sanriyue walked ahead, leading Fulan around for a long time before stopping in front of a remote Japanese room.This Japanese room looks ordinary, but Fran, who is sensitive to spiritual power, realizes that the walls of this Japanese room are covered with formations and runes, and invisible spiritual power flows silently in the entire space.
San Riyue raised her hand and used her divine power to undo the magic seal on the room, and said lightly: "He is inside, I won't go in, you guys talk."
