My aunt is a fox

There are also three major shrines on the scene that are as famous as the Seimei Shrine: Ise Grand Shrine, Yamato Shrine, and Ogami Shrine.
They are different from these small shrines. These shrines with a long history have their own powerful intelligence network. They know the grudge between Nashali and Tsuchimikado Setsuna, her real purpose, and the recent battle between the two sides very clearly.
But they did not stand up to oppose. The simple reason was that the Seimei Shrine had been the only one in power for too long. Over the hundreds of years, the head of the Onmyoji Ryokan had almost become the exclusive property of the Tsuchimikado family.
When talking about Onmyoji, who else can we think of besides Abe Haruaki? They are also a big shrine and they have to maintain their reputation.
Nathalie has no intention of becoming the Onmyoji Ryoshi's leader. Her only goal is to take revenge on Tsuchimikado Setsuna. She poses no threat to them. She can also test Tsuchimikado Setsuna's strength and provide information for their campaign for the Onmyoji Ryoshi's leader. Naturally, there is no reason to object.
"I've finished what I wanted to say. Does anyone have any questions?" Hina glanced at the crowd.
People were whispering to each other, and unlike the initial resistance, there were no more doubts about foreigners not being able to run for the position of Onmyoji.
The so-called rules actually translates to "you have to pay more."
If the interests are sufficient, the rules will be in place.
Li Muzhi couldn't help but sneak a peek at Tsuchimikado Setsuna's expression, and seeing that she was still calm, he felt worried about her.
Regardless of Hina's fighting ability, her wisdom is already a big threat, using the big pancake to deceive the lowest-level small shrine.
A medium-sized shrine that sees through this pie by repairing the shrine and offering a guaranteed bribe.
Use common interests to deal with the three major shrines.
With just a simple campaign briefing, he tied all the shrines that originally supported Tsuchimikado Setsuna to his ship.
As to whether the promise can be implemented.
Sorry, Nathalie had no intention of implementing it from the beginning. As long as she could get enough votes and get a chance to fight Tsuchimikado Setsuna, she didn't care about the flood in the future.
Of course, there were also clear-headed people at the scene. Although they didn't know Nathalie's purpose, they knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.
But these people are a minority after all. They cannot stir up any waves, nor can they wake up the people around them who are blinded by interests.
The scene fell silent again, and everyone looked towards the three major shrines.
This is an era that values strength. Hina has been recognized by most people, but if she really wants to challenge the position of the head of the Onmyoji, she must get the approval of the three major shrines.
However, the representatives of the three major shrines all sat there with their eyes on the nose and their noses on the heart, neither agreeing nor opposing.
The scene fell into silence again.
The head of the Tokugawa family ran to the podium and said with a chuckle, "I have finished my talk about Takeda Shrine. Lord Tsuchimikado, do you have any questions?"
Now we have entered the debate phase. If Tsuchimikado Setsuna cannot point out the loopholes in Nathalie's plan, Nathalie's victory will almost certainly be a foregone conclusion when the vote comes.
Once the vote is passed, the second stage will begin, with Nashali challenging Tsuchimikado Setsuna.
After winning the battle, she became a conservative who was hindering change, and her reputation in the Onmyoji Bureau was greatly damaged.
If you lose, you will be completely defeated and lose all your reputation.
Regardless of whether he wins or loses this battle, Tsuchimikado Setsuna will be the ultimate loser.
Nathalie looked at Tsuchimikado Setsuna with provocation in her eyes.
Tsuchimikado Setsuna's only chance is to see through her plan in advance and stop her from becoming the shrine's chief priest.
In order to conceal this purpose, he kept sending his men to attack and mislead her judgment.
When she walked in here and started speaking, she had already won, the biggest win she had ever had.
Next, it is time to reap the fruits of victory, watching your opponent struggle fearlessly, either with reluctance or with regret.
She was looking forward to what expression Tsuchimikado Setsuna would make.
Li Muzhi also looked at Tsuchimikado Setsuna. He could think of only one way to break the impasse.
It is almost impossible to win the debate, as Hina's promises are all in the future. Even if we know her purpose, we cannot deny things that have not happened in the future.
The only way to break the impasse now is to suppress Nathalie with thunder-like means in the next battle.
After all, this is a world where strength counts. Even if she has lost the support of the people, she is still the powerful Onmyoji.
But, can it really be done?
Li Muzhi looked at Nathalie with a complicated expression, brave and resourceful.
All the gods, both great and small, present fell silent, waiting for Tsuchimikado to speak; the venue became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Tsuchimikado Setsuna slowly put down his folding fan, expressionless, and said softly, "I have no objection."
"Click." These few short words were like a stone thrown into a calm pond, and the originally quiet room suddenly became noisy.
Some people could predict the result, but no one expected Tsuchimikado Setsuna to be so straightforward.
"Hahaha!" Nathalie laughed loudly, stood up from her seat, slapped her hands on the table, and looked directly at Tsuchimikado Setsuna:
"If you have the guts, come and fight. Kill me, and everything will return to normal."
The head of the Tokugawa family was also stunned. He did not expect that Tsuchimikado Setsuna would be so straightforward. He said uncertainly: "Lord Tsuchimikado, do you have any questions? If not, we will vote next."
"No need." Tsuchimikado opened his folding fan instantly and suddenly smiled, instantly as if spring flowers were blooming.
"Fuck, my mom actually smiles so beautifully." This thought suddenly came to Li Muzhi's mind.
"Do you want to break the rules?" Nathalie was not panicked at all. She even expected that Tsuchimikado would attack her directly.
But she was not afraid at all, or rather, this was exactly what she wanted.
The Seimei Shrine has held the position of the head of the Onmyoji Ryo for hundreds of years. Rules are meaningless in the face of strength, but turning the table over will definitely be on the side of injustice.
Since it is inconvenient for others to take action, she and Tsuchimikado Setsuna can still fight one-on-one.
Demonic power gradually appeared around her, and the air seemed to begin to smell of blood. Everyone felt as if they were standing on a sea of blood.
This is the pressure from the big demon. All the gods, big and small, shut up to avoid being hurt by mistake.
The head of the Tokugawa family opened his mouth to speak, but was suppressed by the huge demonic power and swallowed back.
"Don't be nervous." Tsuchimikado Setsuna was the only one present who looked calm. She put the folding fan in her hand to her lips again, and her eyes smiled like a mischievous fox:
"I think Takeda Shrine's proposal is very constructive. I believe that under her leadership, our Onmyoji world will surely innovate and create brilliance together. Here, in the name of Onmyoji Master, I officially confer this title to the head of the Takeda family."
After she finished speaking, the scene fell into silence. Not only the ordinary Onmyoji, but also the representatives of the three major shrines could no longer remain calm. They all opened their eyes and looked over with a look of surprise.
Your Seimei Shrine has occupied the position of the head of the Onmyoji Ryo for hundreds of years, and has given orders to all the Onmyojis in the world. The two are almost tied together and are the forbidden delicacy of your Tokugawa family.
If you hand it over like this, will you be disrespectful to the ancestors who have guarded this title? Aren't you afraid that they will jump out of their coffins?
Nathalie was also surprised. She was halfway through exerting her energy, but was stuck there. She felt very uncomfortable.
"Why are you all silent?" Tsuchimikado Setsuna smiled and stretched out his hand, starting to applaud: "Everyone applaud to welcome the birth of the new Onmyoji Ryokan Master."
The others looked at each other and of course would not applaud. Only Li Muzhi thought about it, stretched out his hand, and applauded along with his mother.
Everyone held their breath, and in the empty room, only the applause of the two people could be heard.
"Tsuchimikado." The head of the Tokugawa family ran up, his forehead covered with sweat: "You are not following the rules. There has never been such a precedent."
"Master Tokugawa is joking." Tsuchimikado Setsuna waved his folding fan and smiled: "My position as the chief god was inherited from my mother."
Chapter 521 The villain is myself?
"This..." The head of the Tokugawa family wanted to say something, but he couldn't find the words for a moment. The inheritance between mother and daughter and the election for the head of the Onmyoji must be different.
"Does Master Tokugawa think that my mother passed the position of Onmyoji's head to me because I am her daughter?" Tsuchimikado Setsuna asked with a smile.
How could the head of the Tokugawa family dare to deny it? He just said, "Of course it's because the strength and character of the instant god are unparalleled in the world, so the former head of the Onmyoji passed this important task to you."
"In that case, I think that Lord Takeda's virtue and strength are fine. I will abdicate and let the wise man take over. This should be passed down as a good story." Tsuchimikado Setsuna gently waved his folding fan and glanced at Nathalie: "Right, Lord Takeda."
Before Nathalie could speak, a middle-aged man from one of the three shrines stood up. He was the representative of Yamato Shrine. He said to Tsuchimikado Setsuna, "Lord Setsuna, the Lord of the Onmyoji Ryo is the one who commands all the Onmyojis in the world. How can you treat it like a joke? Have you ever thought about how to explain what you did today to the ancestors who protected this title?"
Li Muzhi pursed his lips. They probably didn't know that the so-called heads of the Tsuchimikado family were actually aliases of Tsuchimikado Setsuna.
The person in front of me is a great Onmyoji who has experienced four hundred years of history.
The three major shrines were very happy to see Nathalie challenge Tsuchimikado Setsuna, as they would be able to reap the benefits from the fight between the two tigers. But now that Tsuchimikado Setsuna is lying down, they cannot accept it.
If Nathalie really becomes the head of the Onmyoji Bureau, their three major shrines will directly become subordinate institutions of the parliament.
Unlike those shrines that make a living from ticket sales, their core interests are in the supernatural world.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Tsuchimikado glanced at the middle-aged man from the corner of his eye.
“I dare not.” The middle-aged man said calmly, “The position of Onmyoji Master is related to the Onmyojis of the world. I am speaking for the survival of the Onmyojis of the world.”
Yamato Shrine is a large shrine as famous as Seimei Shrine. He knew that as long as it was within the rules, Tsuchimikado Setsuna would not dare to attack him.
"Hey, did you hear that, Nathalie?" Tsuchimikado Setsuna turned to look at Nathalie, "The Yamato Shrine doesn't want you to be the head of the Onmyoji. Kill him, and you will be the head of the Onmyoji."
"Uh, I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense." The middle-aged man panicked instantly. Nasalie was not from the circle and might really kill him.
"So what do you mean by that?" Tsuchimikado Setsuna asked with a smile, "Who do you Yamato Shrine support, or do you plan to run for the Onmyoji Ryo master yourself?"
“No, I…” The middle-aged man was able to represent the Yamato Shrine, which was no small feat, but he was oppressed by two powerful demon-level warriors, and he had already done his best not to kneel on the ground.
What was supposed to be a solemn Onmyoji election has begun to turn into a farce.
"Enough!" Nathalie suddenly roared, and the oppressive force spread around her. The gods, both big and small, who were closer, and the weaker ones fell backwards one after another. For a while, people and horses were in chaos, but the situation was finally under control.
Nathalie stared at Tsuchimikado Setsuna and said word by word, "Tsuchimikado Setsuna, are you kidding me?"
"Please calm down." The head of the Tokugawa family hurried over. He represented the government forces and wanted to test Tsuchimikado Setsuna, but the battle must be within the rules, not indiscriminate attacks.
"Get out!" Nathalie roared, and a ball of blood mist gathered in her hands, attacking the head of the Tokugawa family directly.
The head of the Tokugawa family seemed to be hit by a sledgehammer and flew backwards. With a loud bang, his body penetrated the wall and flew into the backyard. After landing, he spat out blood and fainted.
The sudden change caused the three major shrines, which had originally wanted to speak out, to fall silent.
"Fight with me, Tsuchimikado Setsuna!" Nathalie was surrounded by blood, like a terrifying beast that would choose its prey.
"I refuse." Tsuchimikado Setsuna shook his head: "I have passed the position of Onmyoji to you. There is no reason for us to fight."
"What if I really want to?" Nathalie was already overturning the table and starting to stop pretending.
Li Muzhi sat aside and shook his head secretly. Although Tsuchimikado Setsuna seemed to be in control of the situation, in fact, this move was extremely risky.
If Nathalie had a little more patience and agreed to it, she could have secured the position of the Onmyoji Bureau's leader with her strength.
By that time, the initiative will be in her hands. Is she still afraid of not being able to find an opportunity to force Tsuchimikado Setsuna to fight?
As for the previous promise to renovate the shrine, you must be kidding. Have you ever seen any elected politician fulfill their campaign promises?
