At this moment, Fujiwara Chika spoke in an indignant tone. After all, the other party seemed to be speaking very seriously and reasonably, while she felt that these words were slandering her and she was not happy about it.
After saying that, he turned and ran away.
Lin Qi watched the other person's retreating figure, feeling somewhat helpless. Honestly, since when is it that you can't even speak the truth? He knew he was just telling the absolute truth. It was just that the other person couldn't accept such a blunt truth. He claimed to regret it, but honestly, he didn't. After all, that guy's smug face made him unable to resist spitting out his words.
So, watching the other person run away, I smiled and shook my head, then found a corner to squat in. After all, for me, finding a place to stay was enough. If it weren't for the other person, I wouldn't have bothered coming at all.
Moreover, it seemed that because he arrived relatively early, there weren't many people around, allowing him to have some peace and quiet. He wasn't sure if anyone would bother him.
When Lin Qi found a place to squat down, after a while, someone came up behind him. At first, he thought it was just a passerby or something, and that it couldn't possibly be there to ambush him, but then a gentle voice came from behind him.
"Lin Qijun, so you've been here all along!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi turned his head curiously. Who was looking for him? He hadn't sensed any familiar aura from the other person, meaning that, strictly speaking, he hadn't interacted with them before.
At that moment, out of curiosity, I turned my head and saw a larger version of Chika, and a more mature and gentle one at that.
The other person didn't have that carefree, silly vibe, but instead gave off a warm feeling. In reality, one could tell that the other person was a bit cunning at heart, not just because of their gentle appearance, but also because of their scheming nature. It was quite interesting; the three sisters in this family were all different.
Lin Qi knew without even looking that she was the eldest sister of the Fujiwara family, whom the other party's grandfather planned to arrange for her to be engaged to the young master of an Onmyoji family.
"Chika's older sister, Miss Toyomi, may I ask what brings you here?"
Lin Qi was genuinely curious at that moment. Why did the other person want to see him? It seemed like the two of them didn't have any interaction.
The other person was a little surprised to be called out by name so easily.
"Oh my, I didn't expect you to know me."
Fujiwara Yutaka spoke at this moment with a slightly surprised tone.
“You are Qianhua’s older sister. There are some things I should know.”
"By the way, is there something you need from me?"
At this moment, Lin Qi spoke the truth. After all, the other party was Qing Qianhua's older sister, not to mention someone he had seen in the anime. How could he not know?
The other party smiled and replied upon hearing this.
"Lin Qijun, could you please come with me? Grandpa requests your presence."
Fujiwara Toyomi didn't have the option to procrastinate at this point, and went straight to the point, stating the reason why he had come to see the other party.
After hearing what the other person said, Lin Qi roughly understood the situation and nodded immediately.
"Alright, let's go then. Since the old man wants to see me, I have to go and see him no matter what."
Lin Qi agreed without any further words while he was online, and the other party made a gesture to lead the way.
Led by the other party, Lin Qi turned left and right and arrived at another place, which was clearly not a banquet venue.
Lin Qi wasn't too concerned about where he was now, but the people in front of him seemed to be chatting casually with him along the way. In reality, he always felt that they were trying to find out something indirectly.
Lin Qi was also going along with the other party's rambling. Since the other party wouldn't make things clear, they would just stay like this. He didn't care; he would just let things drag on and wear them down.
Most importantly, the other party's communication skills were not very sophisticated, so their little schemes were obvious at a glance.
Lin Qi is very patient with this situation. Anyway, as long as you're not in a hurry, then everyone should stay calm. Don't try to test my patience, after all, my patience is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Meanwhile, the other person was thinking to themselves, "Aren't all young people in a hurry? Why does this person look like a seasoned veteran, even more cunning than my grandfather?"
Fujiwara Toyomi couldn't hold back any longer. After all, they were almost at their destination, and he really wanted to know an answer, so he decided to speak first.
Chapter 872 Your Wish Will Come True
"Um, Mr. Lin, can I ask you a question?"
At this moment, Fujiwara Yutaka chose to take the initiative and made the first move. After all, normally the other party would definitely have all sorts of emotional fluctuations after talking to him for so long, but the other party was very calm and steady at this moment.
"Sure, why can't I ask?"
Lin Qi remained calm, as if he had known all along that Lin Qi would speak. The other party, on the other hand, realized that he had known all along that Lin Qi would have something to ask him, and that he might even know the question Lin Qi was going to ask and was just waiting for him inside.
Fujiwara Toyomi thought of his sister's description of his future brother-in-law and thought to himself that he should believe three-tenths of what Chika said.
They seem to be top-notch in every aspect, but you can't really believe the description you give them that they don't like to use their brains.
"Mr. Lin, if I may be so bold as to ask directly, what is your opinion on Qianhua?"
Lin Qi saw that the other party didn't hide anything at this moment and asked the question directly. Afterwards, he said, "Why didn't you ask earlier? I knew what you were going to ask. I was just waiting for you to ask. I didn't expect you to drag your feet and be so indecisive. You only asked now."
"That's great, it's so much fun! There are very few people with this kind of personality."
Lin Qi then gave a fairly normal answer. As the other woman's older sister, she naturally knew what kind of person her younger sister was, but was that really all there was to it?
"Lin Jun, I want to say something about this. My sister is a bit outgoing, but she's definitely a good girl. Maybe she just gets into a few little problems sometimes because of her outgoing personality. So please be more tolerant of her in the future."
Fujiwara Toyomi then went straight to the point.
As the older sister, I know my two younger sisters very well. I'm not too worried about the youngest one, since although she's a bit cunning, she's quite good at handling things and in other aspects. However, my other younger sister is different. I'm a little worried that her personality might cause some trouble and make her dislike me.
Of course, my sister has absolutely no ill intentions. At most, she just likes to have fun sometimes, and there's really nothing else wrong with her.
However, I worry that because of this personality trait, I might accidentally cause some small trouble that could make the other person dislike me, which would be bad. As the older sister, I have an obligation to talk to them first.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi said that he definitely knew. How could he not know what kind of person that guy was? He was just surprised that the older sister would say such a thing.
"I definitely know about that."
Lin Qi spoke at this moment in a tone that carried a smile, as if to say that he was certainly aware of such matters.
"After all, I've known Chika for a while now, so I know very well what kind of person she is."
"Sometimes I'm quite smart, and sometimes I might not be so smart, but I definitely don't do things with any malice. At most, I might just have a quirky personality and like to have fun."
At that moment, Lin Qi immediately labeled the other person as having a carefree personality and enjoying fun.
As the other person's older sister, she couldn't defend her younger sister at this point. Just as the other person said, that's exactly how her sister is. It seems this person knows her sister quite well.
That's good.
Fujiwara Toyomi knew very well that he had said enough, and there was no need to say anything more. After all, everyone already knew most of what was going on, so there was no need to elaborate. All that was needed was to know that the matter had ended there. Many things were already understood, such as their engagement.
From the other person's perspective, the way her sister acted made her worry that she wouldn't find a good husband who could tolerate her. But the person in front of her seemed to be speaking from the heart, or perhaps the other person was simply too lazy to put on an act. It was all genuine. People like that might not even bother to put on an act, since they don't see the need for it, which is a good thing.
I asked my own sister, and the other party was very willing. Although he pretended to be indifferent at the time, I could tell that my sister was very happy to get engaged to this person.
For some reason, she felt a pang of envy for her younger sister at that moment. Thinking about the man her grandfather wanted to be engaged to, she felt a strange sadness. She didn't like that person, or rather, she hated him, but she had no choice but to do it for the sake of the family.
Although I was already aware of this, and my grandfather was telling me to get to know him and see if I liked him, I knew very well that this matter was already decided and there was no escaping it.
As for saying she was looking after him, that was just a polite remark. After all, her grandfather probably understood that she would definitely deliver a satisfactory answer.
Fujiwara Toyomi was well aware that her fate had been decided, so she hoped that her two younger sisters could live happily.
So I chose to subtly inquire about how this person who was about to get engaged to his sister viewed her. I could sense sincerity in his tone, or perhaps he simply didn't bother to hide it; for him, there was no need to conceal anything.
Fujiwara Toyomi was inexplicably envious of his younger sister, who had actually met someone like that.
It takes a lot of people to be able to tolerate their younger sister's personality. To be honest, if the other person were a few years older and didn't know their sister, they probably would have made the first move.
But now it's just a pity.
Fujiwara Toyomi had no idea that after this conversation, his regret would not come true.
After all, the other party was facing such an inhuman and greedy individual.
This person never intended to let the older and younger sisters go.
Lin Qi followed the other person into a room. After opening the door, the other person gestured for him to enter, while Lin Qi closed the door behind him and stood in the doorway.
Chapter 873 Can't you ask a different question?
After Lin Qi entered a room, he looked at the person in the room, the one who had invited him. He didn't have any bad feelings or feel restrained. He walked over naturally. After all, to him, the person was just an ordinary person. The only thing that made him look up to him was the identity of Grandpa Qianhua. Other than that, he was just a nobody and didn't matter at all.
"Lord Lynch."
At this moment, the other party stood up, looked at Lin Qi and spoke. Although the two were not equal in age and other aspects, the other party was still polite.
After all, the person in front of him was a powerful and unrestrained individual. It was unlikely that he could gain the respect of such a person by relying on his age, even if he was Chika's grandfather.
Based on the information I have, the other party is the kind who is truly unyielding to both soft and hard tactics, and the things they did for that little girl from the Yozakura family can be described as extremely ruthless.
According to statistics, the number of people who died at the hands of the other side included entire families; based on the "nine clans elimination" rule on that side, the number was countless.
This powerful individual also encountered many extraordinary individuals who pursued him. As a result, all those incredibly powerful people, who were a headache for even an entire country, disappeared while he was still alive.
Even the deaths of those people didn't deter us from making a ripple, so we should show the proper etiquette and demeanor when facing such powerful figures.
Even the strongest sorcerer said that if the other party wanted to, killing him with a single thought or causing the country to disappear with a single thought was also possible. If things went wrong, they could try it, and then the person who made the suggestion would be easily killed.
Many people didn't quite believe the facts that followed. Regardless of whether the other party had the ability to do such a thing, they just knew that they were someone no one could afford to offend.
Seeing how polite the other party was, Lin Qi also gave him a nicer look. As far as he was concerned, if you weren't polite, don't expect me to be nice to you. After all, I am the master here. Even if I don't admit it openly, I am the master here. Since the other party was so polite, I should be polite in return. In this situation, I should acknowledge that the other party is Qianhua's grandfather.
"Don't be so polite, don't be so polite. We're practically family. After all, you're Qianhua's grandfather."
Lin Qi waved his hand to indicate that the other party should not be polite, and the following sentence also indicated that he was being polite to the other party now because the other party was Qianhua's grandfather. If the other party was not, he should not expect him to be so polite to the other party.
Moreover, it can also be seen as a subtle warning to the other party. Regardless of whether the other party has any ulterior motives towards his granddaughter, the point is that by saying nice things to the other party, you can gain my politeness.
The other party, being an old fox, understood the meaning behind these words, so he nodded and spoke:
"Hehehe."
"That old man really owes it all to my lovely granddaughter."
At that moment, the other party spoke with a smile, saying that he was grateful to his granddaughter.
Lin Qi smiled without saying anything and sat down in front of the other person. The other person then tried to pour Lin Qi a cup of tea, but the next moment, hot tea appeared in the teacups in front of them.
The other party was stunned for a moment after seeing this, and then spoke in a surprised tone:
"That's quite an impressive ability!"
The other person, without worrying about whether the tea was poisoned, took a sip.
But after taking a bite, his eyes widened, and he raised his head, revealing a blissful expression. At that moment, anyone who didn't know might have thought he had been rejuvenated. After a while, he spoke, his tone filled with excitement.
“Good tea!”
"This is absolutely the best tea I've ever tasted in my life."
At that moment, the other person exclaimed from the bottom of their heart that this was absolutely the best tea they had ever tasted in their life, without exception.
Immediately afterward, he started thinking about how to get more tea leaves. They were so delicious that he wondered if he could ask his granddaughter to whisper in his ear and grant him, as her grandfather, a rare wish.
The other party thought this was a good idea.
