The busy tone didn't last for a few seconds before the call was connected.

Listening to the slight breathing sound coming from the phone, Uesugi Kiyoshi suddenly couldn't think of what to say.

Fortunately, the other party spoke first.

"Why are you calling me at this time? Are you in trouble?"

Li Fuyao's somewhat gentle voice came over.

Uesugi Kiyoshi took a deep breath and whispered, "I'm almost in Kyoto, and I wanted to say hello to you."

"Oh, I see. Is it because of the attack on Akutagawa?"

"I'm investigating that matter. There's something fishy about it. Since you're here, let's talk about it when we meet."

"I have a meeting to attend soon. I'll send you my address. Go do your thing first and we'll arrange a time to meet."

"I've been thinking these days that Akutagawa should ask for help, and I think you'll be here soon. Sure enough, I've been waiting for you."

Uesugi Kiyoshi did not answer, but just listened silently. He thought of the girl who had been nagging beside him a thousand years ago and arranged everything for him in an orderly manner, and he sighed subconsciously.

"A thousand years?"

"."

"Why do you have to be so persistent with me?"

He spoke from his heart, but Li Fuyao paused.

On the other side, in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of a skyscraper, Li Fuyao, wearing a black dress and light makeup, was looking at the scenery outside the window, holding her mobile phone, and her expression suddenly froze.

After a few seconds, a smile of relief crept up the corners of his mouth.

"I"

"How can I be more than just obsessed with you?"

Chapter 290: Thousand Years of Heian-kyō

In front of the French window, a beautiful girl in a black dress spoke decisive words with a smile that was a little shy, a little nostalgic, and a little relieved.

"I am more than obsessed with you!"

I have been wandering in the cycle of reincarnation for thousands of years, just to meet you again here.

Every day and every moment of this thousand years, she has to find a motivation to keep going.

Well, except for the young man she was thinking about.

What else could it be?

Li Fuyao did not continue to sigh. She frowned and thought for a while, then spoke.

"Do you remember?"

"Well, it shouldn't be incomplete. I was the one who sealed those memory fragments into the scroll. I can probably guess what you remembered."

"It's okay, that's not important. I'll tell you the rest at the right time."

"Please be patient and wait."

Li Fuyao did not give Uesugi Kiyoshi any time to react, and spoke a few words quickly, leaving Uesugi Kiyoshi with no choice but to agree.

Most of the memories of past and present lives have been recovered.

Today, Uesugi Kiyoshi is much more relaxed and has fewer doubts in his mind.

If even Li Fuyao can't be trusted.

Then it will be difficult for him to find someone in this world whom he can completely trust.

"I understand. Let me go see Akutagawa first, and then I'll find you."

Li Fuyao curled her lips and acted coquettishly in a somewhat exaggerated tone, like a jealous little girl.

"Are you in such a hurry? Something happened to Akutagawa Ryunosuke, and you care about him so much that you can't wait to avenge him?"

"When did your relationship become so good?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled slightly and asked, "Do you think I met with you to discuss the attack on Akutagawa?"

".It's not such a small matter. I don't need your help. I can handle it myself."

"."

"I just miss you a little bit."

Uesugi Kiyoshi could clearly hear the pause in Li Fuyao's breathing.

Then the joy in her voice could be heard clearly.

"Hehe. You can talk."

"it is good"

"So."

"See you later~"

The last sentence was said by both of them in unison.

They had said this to each other many times.

The first time, Yuan Qingya failed to arrive in time, causing Qingxuande's collection of books to be burned to ashes, and he himself almost died.

The second time Qing Xingdeng went out to travel, when he came back, Yuan Qingya had suffered repeated setbacks and fell into a low point.

The third time, Minamoto Kiyoma went to Heian-kyo to die alone, and before his death, he uttered these last words.

It seems that this time it ends in tragedy.

But this time.

Not anymore.

After hanging up the phone, he rubbed his fingers, and a faint sword light flashed. It seemed that Uesugi Kiyoshi had improved his control over the sword energy that suddenly surged in his body.

This is his power, and he should be able to use it at will.

Putting aside the emotional fluctuations and memories of his previous life, Uesugi Kiyoshi began to think about the purpose of this trip.

All he can do now is to keep going on the path of becoming stronger.

The power he possesses now, and the one with the greatest potential, is "Qi".

Next in line are "faith" and "mirage".

Those abilities that are exclusive to monsters and come from the Hundred Demons Scroll are the worst, like rootless water, and are not worth relying on.

Uesugi Kiyoshi is now constantly training himself to use the ability of "Qi", striving to integrate it as soon as possible, master it thoroughly, and then seek new breakthroughs.

As for the purpose of the trip to Kyoto, it was very simple. To get back the truth for Akutagawa Ryunosuke, to kill all the people or demons who attacked the Collectibles Association, and then to kill the mastermind behind the scenes. This trip would be a complete success, and they could just bring everyone back to Tokyo.

Well. And there is Li Fuyao. Her mother is the eldest daughter of the Fenghuangyuan family. She has stayed in Kyoto for so long. She must not have encountered any trouble, right?

By the way, help her solve her troubles and then go back to Tokyo together.

Such a happy decision!

Uesugi Kiyoshi was making a plan in his mind, but what he didn't see was that in the rearview mirror, Touwen Maki slowly opened her eyes and looked at his back with complicated eyes.

Of course, she heard the entire phone call.

Everything else was fine, but the sentence "I miss you a little" was a real blow to her, leaving her with mixed feelings.

"Is it really Sister Fuyao?"

"Why."

"Sir, you have only met Sister Fuyao a few times, haven't you?"

"."

"Kagura is right."

"I can't wait any longer!"

There was silence, everyone present had their own thoughts, only Xingzi was still sleeping soundly, carefree.

And in this somewhat depressing atmosphere, the convoy gradually drove into Kyoto.

Kyoto is located in western Japan, in the southern part of Kyoto Prefecture. It is an important city in the Osaka metropolitan area, one of Japan's three major metropolitan areas.

When talking about Japan, the cities that come to mind immediately are Tokyo, Kyoto, and Nagoya.

If Tokyo is the economic and political center of Japan, like a young modern girl, then Kyoto is the cultural center of Japan, a mature kimono woman who has experienced the precipitation of time.

In Japanese history, Kyoto was the "capital" of Japan for a thousand years. Now, although legally Japan does not have a capital, it is generally believed that the capital of Japan is Tokyo.

The thousand-year-old Heian-kyo came from this.

Due to the long history, Kyoto has a wealth of historical relics and is also a symbol of Japanese culture. The whole city is dotted with shrines, Buddhist temples, and well-preserved ancient buildings.

Likewise, this may be the area where Japan's supernatural powers are most concentrated.

The Onmyoji, which has the longest history and is code-named "Heian-kyo", is almost entirely stationed in this city.

In order to check and balance these Onmyojis, the Shinsengumi, which had a short history but strong members, originally had its headquarters in Tokyo, also moved westward and was now far away from Heian-kyo.

In addition, some shrines and Buddhist temples also possess certain supernatural powers. Many of the monks, shrine maidens, and priests are not just for show, but have real abilities.

Therefore, Akutagawa Ryunosuke fell into a very passive situation here.

Because the people he brought definitely did not have the capital to run rampant in Kyoto.

No matter which side sends out its main force, it will be enough to make the president of the Collectibles Association hesitate and do nothing but passively defend.

The Onmyojis have inherited so many Shikigami that even if they use human wave tactics, they can solve most of the troubles in the world.

Moreover, in the inner world of Kyoto, the Genji, Fujiwara, and Taira clans

These ancient families have never died out.

This is an extraordinary place of carnival, favored by ghosts and gods.

How can a single Rashomon compare to the accumulation of thousands of years of Heian-kyo?
