Li Taisui's expression froze and he let out a sigh of relief.

He was about to say something when Ye San interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Okay, I really doubt how you can find a wife."

"Can't you tell? What is Fuyao wearing today?"

"I was wondering this morning. This girl has always been casual about her clothes. She wears whatever is comfortable. Why did she suddenly dress so exquisitely and wear such a formal cheongsam? Now I understand."

"Did you hear that? Ah Qing said that Fuyao saved his life."

"Old Tai Sui, beauty saving the hero, that's a pretty good tactic. These two must have known each other before."

"I know you haven't been to school. There's an old saying that goes, 'A woman dresses for the man she pleases.' Do you know that?"

Ye San's expression became ambiguous.

"Let me tell you this."

"Among the people who came today, the two girls are from the Dongwen family, and I know the other boy, he is from the Kudo family of the Metropolitan Police Department. Fuyao has never even looked at him straight in the eye."

"She spoke up for Qing. As soon as we finished fighting, she reminded me that the time was up and Qing won."

"Then, despite her lazy nature, she took the initiative to volunteer to do all the fighting and was responsible for contacting Ah Qing."

"You taste it, you taste it carefully."

"I think Fuyao dressed like this probably to suppress the girl from the Dongwen family. I think she has reached this age now."

"Old Tai Sui, that could be the husband your daughter has chosen. Let me ask you, do you want to compete with that old Dong Wenjue for him?"

Li Taisui grunted for a long time without saying a word. His face turned red, and he stood up and walked into the house.

Ye San shouted loudly.

"Why are you going?"

"I'll call Ningning! Anyway, I have no say, I don't care!!"

A somewhat angry voice cut through the rain, making Ye San burst into laughter.

Chapter 106 The most interesting story

Behind Li Fuyao, Uesugi Kiyoshi and Toufu Maki walked side by side.

The eldest lady of the Dongwen Society was in the boat with the Ni Ren Blade in her arms, her face a little gloomy and unclear, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Uesugi Kiyoshi noticed that Toufu Maki was acting abnormally, but he didn't even look at her and spoke in a calm tone.

"You don't look well, what are you thinking about?"

"Are you dissatisfied with the result?"

He was just chatting casually, not hiding anything.

Maki Touwen bit her lip, secretly looked up at Uesugi Kiyoshi's calm profile, then immediately lowered her neck, her voice a little low.

"Thank you for your hard work, sir."

"We were able to obtain the support of Uncle Taisui, all thanks to your help, sir."

"only."

Touwen Maki's tone paused, seeming a little unwilling.

"It's just that I didn't do anything."

Uesugi Kiyoshi raised an eyebrow, not really thinking much about this answer.

However, if he put himself in her shoes, he could understand Touwen Maki's feelings.

Being determined to take back the Dongwen Club and become the kind of person he hated the most in the past must have been a very complicated and difficult mental journey.

As a result, I stole the spotlight today.

But there is no way. Uesugi Kiyoshi doesn't think that Li Taisui will give face to Touwen Maki. If this young lady is replaced as a lobbyist, she may not be able to do either literary or martial arts.

Maki Toufumi is now determined, but her experience and ideas are still too superficial.

It doesn't matter, although Uesugi Kiyoshi feels that he can't do what Dong Wenjue does, who can make things happen with a wave of his hand and stir up the situation in the Tokyo underworld by himself.

But being a guide for Touwen Maki shouldn't be a big problem.

Uesugi Kiyoshi hesitated for a few seconds, and his tone became slightly softer.

"Don't think too much. You have plenty of time to do what you want to do, but that will have to wait until we take back the Dongwen Club."

"Time is tight, there is no time for you to show off your skills."

"If you really want to do something, go back later and quickly gather all the combat power under your command, mobilize them, and prepare for the raid on the Dongwenhui headquarters tomorrow."

"Tomorrow, none of us can afford to lose."

Maki Toufumi looked up in surprise. Ever since she first met Uesugi Kiyoshi, the image of this young swordsman in her mind has always been cold and icy. He exposed the cruel reality and the thorny road she should take nakedly in front of her. Although his words were a little unkind, they were what she needed most.

She found it hard to believe that such words of encouragement came from Uesugi Kiyoshi's mouth.

With a quick glance, the gentleness on that profile was imprinted deep in her heart. Dong Wen Maki gritted her teeth and nodded.

At this juncture, anything you say is redundant. The most important thing is to win the game tomorrow.

The atmosphere returned to silence.

After walking a few steps, Li Fuyao, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped.

She turned around quietly with her oil-paper umbrella, like a green lotus blooming elegantly in the rain, and gave Uesugi Kiyoshi a sweet smile.

"Qing, do you want to come in and sit down?"

"I have a gift for you."

Uesugi Kiyoshi was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, he was pushed by Kudo Yuichi, who had been looking between him and the two girls with extremely ambiguous eyes. He took a step forward and came under the cover of Li Fuyao's oil-paper umbrella.

"Ms. Fuyao, don't borrow our general for too long. We have a fierce battle tomorrow."

"We'll take our leave first - Qing, we'll wait for you at the door."

Raising his eyebrows and winking, Kudo Yuichi smiled meaningfully, patted Uesugi Kiyoshi on the shoulder, and walked away with Toufu Maki who had a complicated look in his eyes, looking like a man who had hidden his achievements and fame.

Uesugi Kiyoshi glared at Kudo Yuichi with a somewhat amused look, thinking that he was meddling in other people's business, but he didn't really care.

When a friend uses his or her abilities to help you solve most of your problems without you asking, and is always there for you when you need help, then even if this person makes some harmless jokes with you from time to time, it will not affect your friendship.

He exchanged glances with Li Fuyao, who was smiling with narrowed eyes, and nodded slightly, saying, "Sorry for disturbing you."

Some quaint and old wooden doors were opened, and what came into view was a retro corridor structure with a layout similar to that of Li Taisui's courtyard. There was a wing room on the east and west sides, and the doors were tightly closed.

Li Fuyao brought Shangshan Qing to the door of the main room, put away the oil-paper umbrella, casually placed it under the eaves, and gently pushed open the door.

A rich but refreshing scent of sandalwood wafts over you.

It was a familiar smell. If Uesugi Kiyoshi remembered correctly, the same incense sticks were burning in Li Fuyao's bookstore.

The scent left a deep impression on him. After all, it was rare to see a girl who didn't use perfume but instead used this kind of incense.

Following the girl through the threshold, he glanced left and right with a light but polite gesture, and the structure of the house came into his mind.

It is a very traditional Chinese room, so traditional that few people live in this kind of room even in China. The left side is separated by a screen and decorated in a light and elegant style, which should be the bedroom. The right side is a study room decorated in an antique style, with the walls covered with various ink paintings. On the solid wooden desk, which bears traces of the vicissitudes of time, are the four treasures of the study, as well as many thread-bound books. Several large bookshelves close to the wall are filled with various classics, and incense is burning on the incense table under the windowsill.

Opposite the door, there are a throne chair and a small table placed symmetrically, which provide seating for the host and guests.

Li Fuyao gestured with his hand, indicating that Uesugi Kiyoshi should sit down first, and he himself sat down opposite him leisurely.

On the table stood a small, round gourd made of pearls and jade, about the size of a palm.

"Don't keep Kudo-kun and Miss Touwen waiting for you too long. I'll make it short."

Li Fuyao pushed the small gourd on the table towards Shang Shanqing.

"Here, this is a gift."

Uesugi Kiyoshi took it and weighed it in his hand, and a sound of liquid shaking came from it.

He suddenly realized, "Could this be herbal tea?"

Li Fuyao's herbal tea left a deeper impression on him than sandalwood. He once asked Akutagawa Ryunosuke several questions indirectly, and the answer he got was that many knowledgeable people in the collectors' association have worked hard but failed to develop a medicine that can save extraordinary people from decadence.

Generally speaking, if one falls into the dominion of ghosts and gods, it is equivalent to slow death unless one breaks free by one's own strong willpower.

But Li Fuyao's "cold tea" successfully pulled him out of his decadence.

This is definitely not something mundane.

Li Fuyao held his chin and nodded slightly.

"Well, it has similar functions to herbal tea. This is medicinal wine."

"If nothing unexpected happens, there will be ghosts and gods blocking the way tomorrow, and you will need this."

"Qing, people who have fallen into depravity can easily fall into depravity again even if they have escaped from the sight of ghosts and gods. Take this with you, just in case."

Uesugi Kiyoshi held the wine jug, his expression changing and his eyes somewhat complicated.

The struggle brewed in his eyes for a long time, and he sighed softly.

"You've helped me so much, Fuyao. I feel so unworthy of it."

"I shouldn't have accepted this."

"But this is what I need."

He raised his eyes and looked directly into Li Fuyao's clear eyes.

"Although thank you is a little too pale, but thank you."

He took a deep breath and looked serious.

"I have been used to living alone since I was a child. I have no one to help me. My life was difficult. So when I was alone and helpless, I made a vow in my heart."

"If anyone helps me, I will repay them many times over. I won't let those who help me down."

"What I mean is, if there is anything I can do to help you, please just ask. I will never refuse."

"What I said in front of Taisui just now was not just a polite remark."
