At night, because the new head of the family, Nagae Sugoshi, chose to live at the shrine, there were many more mixed races from the Hachiki family who were responsible for guarding the shrine than before.
Although Uesugoshi made it clear that he did not need so many hybrids to protect his safety.
With his strength, those who can't beat him may not be able to defeat these guarding hybrids, but if he can't beat them, these guarding hybrids will only die if they swarm them.
However, other heads of the eight Sheqi families objected to his words, saying that this was the tradition of the eight Sheqi families that had been passed down from ancient times to this day, and that everyone must have sufficient defensive strength around them.
Moreover, the hybrids of the eight Sheqi families equipped with modern weapons also have considerable combat effectiveness and can handle some uninvited guests for him.
Uesugi scoffed at their explanation. Although he could not be regarded as a real politician, he could still see their true intentions after being the Shadow King for so many years.
The so-called hybrids sent to guard him may have guard duties, but they are more responsible for monitoring his whereabouts.
However, this did not have much impact on Uesugoshi, so he took a resigned attitude and let them do whatever they wanted.
Uesugi is sitting in the center of the shrine, but this is not the seat of the head of the family, but the place where he used to sit as the Shadow Emperor. Next to him are a few bottles of his favorite sake, and a few simple things are placed in front of him. side dishes.
He waited for a guest late at night at the shrine.
Suddenly, Uesugi frowned and looked at the large hole he had destroyed on the roof of the shrine with the black sun during the day. The sensitive perception given to him by the emperor's blood told him that a huge barrier was approaching the shrine.
But then he turned his attention back to his side dishes. The guests were about to arrive, and if he didn't take a few bites quickly, he wouldn't have time to eat later.
Lu Mingfei flapped his huge dragon wings and quickly flew from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the shrine on the mountain. He looked at the holes in the roof of the shrine. He roughly estimated that this should be the damage caused by Uesugi Koshihi.
"It seems that the process of seizing power has not been smooth sailing, but the power of forbidden speech spirits like Black Sun is really extraordinary." Lu Mingfei murmured while looking at the hole in the air.
Although his dragon wings were extremely huge and he did not make any attempt to conceal himself, none of the hybrids patrolling below noticed him.
This is because Lu Mingfei blessed himself with the land of Yanling Mingzhao and Yanling Wuchen before coming here.
Mingzhao can ensure that his body will not be seen by others physically, and the dust-free land can form its own boundary, blocking the scanning of high-tech detection equipment.
So until Lu Mingfei landed from the hole in the roof of the shrine, the hybrid guarding below was still reporting to his superiors that there was nothing unusual about the shrine.
Despite the blessings of Mingzhao and Wuchen Land, Uesugoshi felt Lu Mingfei's presence the moment Lu Mingfei came in.
Although he couldn't detect it with the naked eye, he was able to keenly detect any slight change in the space in front of him thanks to the super perception given by his royal bloodline.
"Although I know that you are already in front of me, I can only feel you vaguely and cannot see you with the naked eye." Uesugi said to the air in front of him, he knew that Lu Mingfei was there.
Lu Mingfei also appeared, and a pair of huge silver-gray dragon wings appeared in front of Uesugoshi's eyes.
The silver-gray dragon wings continued to shrink in front of Uesugoshi's eyes in the next moment, until they retreated back to Lu Mingfei's back.
"This is the second time I see you, but I still have to say that the waves behind you push the waves ahead. I'm afraid your bloodline is higher than my royal blood. Sometimes I even wonder if you are the Dragon King in human form."
Uesugoshi looked at Lu Mingfei standing in front of him and said in an exaggerated tone.
"Being the Dragon King is a thankless task, so just let me be an excellent dragon slayer." Lu Mingfei shrugged, and his blazing golden pupils dimmed and returned to pure black.
"But let's keep this digression short. I know that the reason Master Uesugoshi came to see me tonight was definitely not to talk about this." Lu Mingfei walked forward to the tatami Uesugoshi prepared for him and sat down.
Lu Mingfei did not drink, but picked up the chopsticks and took a few bites of food into his mouth.
"You are so arrogant, sometimes I would suspect that you are not a young man, but that bastard Angers sitting in front of me." Uesugi Yue looked at Lu Mingfei eating in front of him, feeling that Lu Mingfei and Angers The bastard looks more and more alike.
Lu Mingfei didn't answer. After all, he and Ange were masters and disciples. It would be okay to learn some bad habits from Ange after being together for so long.
"But since that's the case, I won't talk nonsense. I asked you to meet tonight because I want to ask a few questions." Uesugi put down the chopsticks in his hand, and his expression gradually became serious.
"The first and most important question is why you want to help me, or help my children. This will not do you any good, and it can even be said to be just a waste of your time."
Uesugoshi asked what he thought was the most important question, although he was very grateful to Lu Mingfei for helping him find his son and daughter.
But if we just talk about this matter and think about it carefully, Lu Mingfei has no reason to do this.
Because he is an outsider, the affairs of the Japanese Seraki Hachi family have nothing to do with him. From a profit point of view, Uesugi Yue does not believe that a mixed race will help others because of a thing that has no profit.
This is not a fairy tale written by a writer, but a naked and bloody reality. There will be no such warm-hearted people in reality, because the grass on the graves of such warm-hearted people has already been several meters high.
Lu Mingfei also put down his chopsticks, swallowed the food in his mouth, and looked directly at Uesugi's eyes.
"Indeed, I am not a kind person, and I will not do things that have nothing to do with me. I seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. This is the instinct of any intelligent creature."
"So I'm going to help you for a few reasons."
Lu Mingfei stretched out the index finger of his right hand to make a sign.
"The first is that I come from Kassel Academy. The Japanese branch is under the leadership of Tachibana Masamune or Herzog and has disloyalty towards Kassel Academy. As the next leader of the Secret Party, I naturally have to eradicate it first. Undesirable elements of the Japanese branch.”
When Lu Mingfei mentioned Cassel Academy and the secret party leader, Uesugoshi's eyes were solemn. He knew that Lu Mingfei's background would be huge, but he didn't expect it to be so big.
"So you are the apprentice or competitor of that old bastard Angers." Uesugi asked tentatively. He wanted to know the relationship between Lu Mingfei and Angers in front of him.
"He is my principal, and he can be considered my competitor, but I think he will also become our collaborator." Lu Mingfei said unhurriedly, as if he thought the matter was a certainty.
If it was because of this, Uesugoshi could understand Lu Mingfei's intention to help him in this way. Perhaps he wanted to support him when he became the leader of the secret party, or that the entire Japanese branch supported him.
But what Lu Mingfei said next made Uesugi suddenly feel that Lu Mingfei was unreliable.
"Of course, the first reason is actually not important. Its influence on me may not be as attractive as eating. The two most important reasons for me to help you are."
Lu Mingfei pointed his finger to where the head of the Uesugi family sat in the shrine, and then pointed to where the head of the Minamoto family sat.
"Uesugi Eri and Minamoto are born!" Uesugi didn't know what Lu Mingfei wanted to say, because according to the information he knew, his son and daughter had never met Lu Mingfei so far.
"Because of past regrets, I chose to help you." Lu Mingfei's answer made Uesugi more unbelievable. He did not believe that Lu Mingfei would do such a complicated thing for such a simple purpose.
"When I should be brave, I cowardly hid in the wine cellar and let others control my destiny, so I lost my girl."
Lu Mingfei stood up and looked at the moonlight that dispersed from the hole, leaving Uesugi with a lonely back.
"But it's just as it should be. One hundred and three hundred and twenty flower tickets couldn't keep me, so it stands to reason that a quarter of my life can't be exchanged for her."
Lu Mingfei stood there quietly, without any words of condolences or tears, and even his tone was as calm as if he was chatting about everyday things.
He looked at the moonlight scattered in the shrine, and his memory seemed to return to Hongjing. The boy was just lying on the thick quartz glass wall, quietly looking at the withered, porcelain-white girl.
Although she is still there, just like in the past, she will never open her eyes again, and she will never write SakUra slowly in her notebook again.
Uesugi Yue sat there and looked at Lu Mingfei, as if he was looking at himself many years ago, after losing his mother, and he was so lonely and so sad.
There is no need for any words at this moment, sadness is spreading like mist, filling the entire shrine, so soft, yet so heavy, like water, slowly submerging the hearts of the two men.
Uesugi drank a glass of sake, and he suddenly felt that his questions were not important now. Lu Mingfei's loneliness and sadness had already told him the answer.
"So this time, I will be a brave knight and kill all enemies for her."
Lu Mingfei closed his eyes and felt the moonlight falling on his body, as if savoring the regrets of the past, allowing him to relive the throbbing pain in his heart again.
"Lu Mingfei." Uesugi shouted.
"Yeah." Lu Mingfei replied softly.
"I recognize your sadness and loneliness." Uesugoshi picked up a bottle of sake, opened the bottle and let the liquid roll down his throat and into his stomach.
"But this is not the reason for you to have an idea for my daughter. If you are as cowardly as in the story, I will never approve you." Uesugi threw another bottle of sake towards Lu Mingfei with a serious expression.
Lu Mingfei easily grabbed the sake bottle flying toward him, followed Uesugoshi's example, opened the bottle and let the clear wine roll into his stomach.
"The cowardly Lu Mingfei died in the North Pole a long time ago. Now standing in front of everyone is the tyrant Lu Mingfei." Lu Mingfei's words were very soft, but coming from his mouth, it was like he was speaking to the whole world. Order.
