Chapter 506: Egret’s Invitation(1/2)
"arrive."
Bai Qiyun took the Luye siblings to the temporary residence that had been arranged. The waiters on the side also retreated far away with great discernment, preventing the siblings from discovering any clues.
Luyein Heizang looked at the slightly dilapidated house in front of him, muttering in his heart.
This is too shabby.
"Well, is this Mr. Bai's residence? It's indeed a bit unusual."
Just standing in front of the door, Kano Nana felt a hint of evil spirit.
Even if there are no evil spirits, there may be monsters causing trouble here.
Although monsters are not under the control of witches like them.
"Be careful."
After discovering the unusual aura, Kano Nana tensed up instantly and immediately transformed from the big sister at home into the mature miko who had been working hard at Narukami Taisha Shrine for many years.
She opened the door immediately and walked in before the two men could react.
"Eh? Sister! Wait for me!"
Seeing this, Heizang quickly followed in.
He didn't know what arrangements Bai Qiyun had made, so it was better to follow them quickly.
There were all kinds of farm tools placed in the yard, and a strong atmosphere of life came to her face. Kano Nana frowned slightly.
At first glance, it looked like an ordinary B&B, but for some reason, she always felt that something was wrong nearby.
"Sister, there is a problem here."
Compared to Nana Kano, who does not have the Eye of God, Heizang obviously has a clearer perception of the power of elements.
The moment he stepped into the courtyard, he noticed that the nearby land was soaked in water elements.
That soft yet hidden power is hidden beneath the surface of the earth and may erupt at any time.
Could it be that the other party wanted to drag the two siblings here and kill them directly?
Thinking of this, Luyein Heizo glanced at Bai Qiyun with the old god beside him in surprise.
No, if this person wants to kill them, there is no need to go to such trouble.
"stop."
Seeing that her brother still wanted to move forward, Kano Nana quickly stopped him.
As a miko, although she does not have strong elemental perception, she does have a unique set of secrets of perception passed down from Narukami Taisha Shrine.
This secret method can only be used after long-term training and certain talent.
And testing whether you have this talent is also a part of the witch examination.
Oh, that's a bit far-fetched.
Although this secret method cannot be as in-depth as Bai Qiyun's observation, and it cannot even keep up with the sensitivity of ordinary Eye of God holders to elemental power, it is better than all aspects.
For example, right now, Kanoin Heizo may have been in a hurry and did not notice the flash of the demonic aura in the final room, but Kano Nana was keenly aware of it.
"There's something evil about it."
"Eh?"
Hearing this, looking at his elder sister's serious profile, Heizang quickly mobilized his senses to scan ahead.
Finally, he found a trace of a monster wandering around the corner of the wall.
Although it's not strong, it does exist.
Could it be that he is really a monster?
Pingzang glanced at the young man behind him without leaving any trace, but found that Bai Qiyun still showed no sign of nervousness, so he couldn't help but look away.
"Pingzang, follow Mr. Bai into the house and take a look. Protect him. I'll go to the backyard and take a look."
After that, Kano Nana didn't give her brother time to react, and walked towards the backyard alone.
Huh? Protect him? Are you kidding? You can’t tell who will protect whom.
Luyein Heizang smacked his lips twice, but he could only follow Bai Qiyun into the house according to his sister's arrangement.
He was not worried about whether his sister would encounter any crisis. After all, the shrine maiden still had two brushes.
Although this ability comes from the Eightfold Palace Secretary.
It is said that the eighth-level palace minister once traveled across the ocean to Liyue and learned some techniques from there. One of them was to carve talismans and seals and inhabit his own power in them.
Each shrine maiden who works in the shrine will be assigned one or two coins to protect their lives and fight, so that the shrine maidens can fulfill the tasks of exterminating demons and protecting the Tao.
Otherwise, how could these helpless women defeat evil spirits?
Moreover, as time went by, this method of using talismans and power gradually fell into the hands of Hai Luanggui.
They will use some simple talismans to attach elemental power to their weapons, thereby increasing their attack power.
Heizang searched the house in the direction of the wide open door.
Relying on his experience in serving in Tianling, he quickly determined that there were no traces of intrusion by outsiders in this house.
"It's weird."
Heizang whispered secretly, and followed Bai Qiyun's statement and checked the rice vat where the rice disappeared and the kitchen cabinets, but still did not get any effective clues.
But this was not what he expected. After all, he felt that Bai Qiyun was deceiving their siblings from the beginning. It was normal that there were no clues at the scene.
So when he saw the trace of demonic power outside, he doubted whether he had seen it wrong.
"Nothing gained."
After tossing around in the house for a while, Luyein Heizo still couldn't find any other clues, so he had to exit the house with Bai Qiyun.
Oh, if there were no clues, he did find clues that this house was not Bai Qiyun's house at all, and there were many more.
It's just that he pretended not to have seen it at all, and even hid some obvious clues inside to prevent his sister from becoming suspicious.
"It seems you two didn't find anything."
As soon as the two of them stepped into the backyard, Kano Nana came over with a fox in hand.
That was the one Bai Qiyun brought from the Guarded Forest before.
"Sister, what is this."
"It's nothing, just a little guy making trouble. If it's not what I expected, this little guy is the culprit."
Luye Nana glanced at Bai Qiyun meaningfully, and then nodded to Heizang.
"It's almost over after we catch this little guy. You go back to the car first. I have something to explain to Mr. Bai."
This is the normal procedure for a miko to slay demons. Although Kanoin Heizo was worried about his sister, he didn't say much.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Watching Heizang's figure go away, Kano Nana's expression gradually became darker.
After a while, she spoke.
"Mr. Bai, the culprit has been caught. I will hand it over to the person in charge of the guard forest. If you are interested in the following matters, please go to the shrine to consult with other persons in charge."
Hearing this, Bai Qiyun's heart moved.
"Oh? What Miss Luye means is..."
"It's nothing, it's just that the miko's affairs are complicated and I was a little overworked some time ago. In the next few months, I will stay at home for a vacation and will no longer be responsible for the affairs of Narukami Taisha Shrine."
I don't know if it was Bai Qiyun's illusion, but he felt that the dancer in front of him gritted her teeth on certain words, for fear that he wouldn't be able to hear them.
And he didn't know if it was his misunderstanding, but he felt that the Shikano shrine maiden's attitude towards him suddenly became much colder.
Could it be that she knew that he and her brother were not friends?
But in any case, since the other party said that he would stay at home and not go out, then the purpose of his trip could be regarded as achieved.
If the other party was trying to deceive him, then he had no choice but to hand it over to the people in charge of the society for further processing.
But what happened to make Kano Nana make such a decision?
Bai Qiyun didn't understand the reason even after thinking about it.
"My brother-in-law and I go first, Mr. Bai doesn't need to send it off."
"Ah, that's not possible. I rented the carriage."
"...."
————
In a slightly embarrassing atmosphere, Bai Qiyun sent the Luye siblings back home.
Before parting, he and Luyein Heizang exchanged pretentious greetings for a while.
It's just that this time, Kano Nana was not there to accompany her. She returned to the house early by herself, and she didn't know if she had seen through the "tacit understanding" between the two.
In short, Bai Qiyun didn't really want to see this red-haired man again in a short period of time.
