Chapter Forty-Three: Nothing and Violence

In the middle of the farewell of the shopping guides, Uesugi Kiyoshi took Apricot by the hand and walked out of the store.

How to say it... It really feels cool to spend money.

It still makes sense for people to die for money, and it makes sense for people to die for food, and wealth is still too attractive to human beings.

He wasn't in a hurry to go to the temple, he really patiently accompanied the apricot to go shopping here, there is no shortage of shops in such a big shopping street as Shinkyo Goku, and shopping is a woman's instinct, even if it is an apricot.

She changed into a new dress, and her heart was as sweet as honey - the clothes were beautiful or secondary, mainly because Uesugi Kiyoshi spent a lot of money to buy it for her, and Kyoko felt that she had a place in Uesugi Kiyoshi's heart, which was more worthy of joy than anything else.

They shop a lot and buy less, and the apricots just look at all kinds of goods with great interest, but they have little desire to buy, and when they pass by a few jewelry stores, Uesugi Kiyoshi wants to add a few pieces of jewelry to the apricots, and he is dragged away by the white rabbit.

The kind of stone and metal that can't be eaten or worn and only shiny is nothing to look at--that's the exact words of apricots.

Of course, Uesugi Kiyoshi reckons that she may still be intimidated by the price of the tag.

Indeed, the price of jewelry with a few treasures in the town store is enough to make him a little painful now.

After shopping, they also visited the nearby temples, but they found nothing as expected.

The temples here are all ridiculously small, basically come to earn money from tourists, come to worship a Buddha, ask for a sign, donate a few hundred yen of incense money, in terms of the flow of people in the new Jingji, it is also a lot of income.

At noon, it was a kaiseki restaurant that Ueno Mishi had set up for lunch, and Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't feel as delicious as the food made by apricots, but the apricots didn't seem to have seen such exquisite dishes, but they ate with relish.

In the afternoon, Uesugi Kiyoshi took the apricots and went to visit the Jintenman Palace, but he still found nothing.

The sun was setting and it was already evening.

Uesugi Kiyoshi spent a day here, and Kyoko seemed to be quite happy, but his goal was not reached.

He actually doesn't care, it's a big deal to spend a little more time, the net has already been laid, and the fish can't run.

Apricot looks a little tired after a day of shopping, Uesugi Kiyoshi is an extraordinary person, and there is no need to mention physical strength, and Apricot's body is quite weak.

After sweeping around, he casually picked a coffee shop with not many families, pointed there and said, "Apricot, let's go rest first, I'll go back in a while." ”

Apricot naturally listened to Uesugi Kiyoshi for everything, raised her head and agreed sweetly.

It's said to be a coffee shop, but it's actually similar to the bubble tea shop in the Celestial Empire, it's not a high-end shop, it sells everything, and Uesugi Kiyoshi can even see ice cream on the menu.

After ordering two drinks casually, Uesugi Kiyoshi and Kyoko chose a booth near the floor-to-ceiling window and sat down.

The apricots in front of me have changed dramatically.

The pale green dress is worth seven figures, and the pair of deerskin boots under her feet are enough for a white-collar worker's salary for a month.

Not long after they sat down, Kiyoshi Usugi's phone rang.

With a glance, his complexion changed slightly.

Tut...

It was Li Fuyao's call.

A feeling of emptiness welled up in his heart, and he looked at the other side and didn't know what was happening, just looked at his apricots stupidly, and suddenly sat a little like pins and needles.

You can't go unanswered on the phone.

"Apricot, I'll go out and answer the phone, you wait for me here for a while."

After instructing Kyoko, Uesugi Kiyoshi walked outside the coffee shop and picked up the phone.

"It's not right, Qing, it took so long to answer the phone, you honestly, are you with other girls?"

Li Fuyao seemed to be ridiculing, but Uesugi Kiyoshi keenly heard the danger from these words.

“...”

"I'm shopping with Kyoko - I don't think she's [any other girl]."

Uesugi Kiyoshi still chose to explain honestly, and then added a quibble that wanted to cover up.

He always felt that if he lied to Li Fuyao, something terrible would happen.

And he actually has some confidence in saying this - apricots are different.

When Uesugi Qing was still the source of Qingya, the relationship between Qingxing Lantern and Apricot was very good, so good that the Lord of the Hundred Ghosts at that time was sometimes a little tasteful.

He felt that Li Fuyao should not particularly reject apricots.

Otherwise, it is not a secret that he and Xingzi have been living together, and they have not seen Li Fuyao come to the door to arrest people.

Sure enough, hearing this, Li Fuyao snorted softly.

"What a grandiose scumbag declaration, obviously he was still talking to me yesterday, but he went to accompany Apricot today?"

"Our Uesugi-kun is really a bowl of water--if this trend continues, won't I be able to share a few days of your life in a month? I've heard you're quite popular in the association. ”

"Nothing!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi's answer was categorical, and the desire to survive was extremely strong.

With that, he smiled bitterly.

"Fuyao, you know my... I can't leave the apricots behind. ”

"You're good, and I'm going to be apricot... I don't want to lose you again. ”

It may be that the earnestness in his words touched Li Fuyao's memory, and the voice over there became a little softer.

"Okay, I'll let you go this time."

"I heard from Priest Hanyu, did you find someone?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi sighed.

"No, I deliberately walked around that area, and I didn't find anything, by the way, Jiu Tun said that the attacker might be related to his god son divine body, so he could sense that person's breath, but I spent a day here and found nothing."

Li Fuyao paused thoughtfully, and continued: "It's okay, don't worry, there's still time." ”

"I'm calling this time to tell you something, three days later, the Phoenix House will hold a board meeting - in fact, it will be a meeting of several factions vying for power."

"When the time comes, the high-level people will be very together."

"The person who came up with the idea of scheming Akutagawa is called Kazuki of Phoenix Temple, and his father is one of the current five elders of Phoenix Temple."

"In plain sight, it may be the best opportunity to make an example, and if you don't give some people some color, then some problems can't be completely solved - you know what I mean?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi pondered for a moment, and then guessed, "Did you ask me to go to the meeting?" ”

Li Fuyao chuckled.

"Yes, but... In an impressive... How to play! ”

After talking to Li Fuyao on the phone for nearly ten minutes, Uesugi Qing let out a breath after hanging up.

He almost couldn't believe that such a reckless plan just now was proposed by Li Fuyao.

But think about it, in essence, transcendents do not need to spend a lot of twists and turns to deal with mortals, and the simplest and most direct way is violence.

Li Fuyao means...

Let Uesugi Kiyoshi break into the headquarters of the Phoenix Courtyard in broad daylight, and use extremely violent means to give the high-level members of the Phoenix Courtyard a memory that will never be forgotten.
