Chapter Seventy-Nine: Rejected (Third Shift, Asking for Votes)
"Okay, now you're all waiting in this place, I'll go check it out first."
The master carver glanced around at everyone, straightened his clothes, and his expression became solemn.
As the leader of this visit, Ruiyun bowed deeply to the master carver on behalf of the sun.
"Master, for the sake of our ancestors, for the sake of our entire Hyuga family, thank you so much this time."
"It's okay, it's okay, this is not in the way, I am also deeply honored to be able to serve His Majesty the Emperor of Hades."
The master carver touched his goatee and accepted Hinata Mizuun's thanks.
When everything was ready, the master carver stepped into the courtyard with a solemn expression.
His cautious appearance made everyone understand.
The master carver you are about to meet may indeed be a very remarkable figure.
I saw the master carver carefully step into the courtyard, and in a short time two people dressed as apprentices walked out of the corridor.
After seeing the master carver, the two apprentices' eyes lit up and bowed respectfully to him.
"Master Taichuan, why do you have time to come to Matsumoto's house, are these people outside the door your friends?"
Master Taichuan smiled and nodded, and asked the two apprentices softly.
"Is your master in the house? The little old man hadn't seen him for a long time, so I wondered if I missed him. β
The apprentices glanced at each other, one of the single-eyelid apprentices bowing slightly.
"Master has just returned from the Land of Earth, and he will be very happy to know that you are here.
Please come in and your friends too. β
After being allowed to enter, the crowd was not polite and rushed in.
Master Taichuan glanced around at everyone and issued a warning.
"When you get in, don't touch anything, don't look at it.
Matsumoto's skills are not comparable to those of me, but if his carvings affect my mood.
Something went wrong, but don't blame me for not warning you. β
"Yes, don't worry."
With the incident of Hyuga Agni, where did everyone dare not listen to Master Taichuan's words.
Without squinting, they followed him towards the courtyard.
Entering the courtyard and passing through the corridor, everyone has a feeling of "the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village".
When I came to a bright house, I saw an old man with crane hair and a childish face sitting on a bamboo bench.
In front of him lay a piece of wood two meters high and half a meter thick.
He squinted slightly, pressed the carving knife against the wood with one hand, and struck the top of the carving knife with a mallet in the other.
"Old man Matsumoto, an old friend is here, and you don't stop entertaining him?
You're being rude, aren't you? β
Master Taichuan suddenly spoke at this time, and his language was full of banter for his old friend.
Matsumoto Yao turned his head and glanced at him lightly, but his hand did not stop.
"It turns out that Taichuan, you old immortal, how long has it been since no one came to find Lao Tzu?
I still think you're dead! Why did you suddenly cheat the corpse? β
Matsumoto Yao's answer made Master Taichuan suffocate, and he shook his head with a wry smile.
"You old bastard, still the same as before, no politeness at all."
"What kind of politeness do you want from you old fellow? Hey, who are these guys?
Could it be your grandsons and apprentices? β
Matsumoto Yao stopped what he was doing, and looked at Hinata with a strange face, and shook his head again.
"No, no, these little guys all wear forehead guards on their heads, they should all be ninjas, and there is absolutely no way to have your grandson.
Your grandson, like that little cub in my family, will never be a ninja due to congenital qualifications. β
Matsumoto Yao's strange expression made Master Taichuan speechless.
"You bad old man, can you save a little face for Lao Tzu?
Dead old man wait, although my grandson is older now, he will definitely become a ninja, and I envy you to death. β
Master Taichuan stiffened his neck and glared at his old friend viciously.
"Alright, alright, I'm not going to talk to you.
Old man, you have always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, there must be something wrong with me this time, right? β
The crane-haired and childlike Matsumoto Yao stared at his old friend tightly.
Master Taichuan bowed slightly, and completely stated the purpose of coming this time.
After knowing their intentions, Matsumoto Yao frowned tightly and refused directly.
"I'm sorry, I can't agree to this, this year I have given all 5 places.
If you had come a month earlier, I would have agreed, but I'm sorry for now. β
After Matsumoto Yao finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to everyone anymore.
He picked up the carving knife in one hand and the mallet in the other and continued to work on his own.
Seeing that Matsumoto Yao directly rejected his request, Master Taichuan was a little angry.
"You bad old man, didn't I tell you the identity of the other party?
The other party is the noble Majesty of the Hades Emperor! You denied his request.
Aren't you afraid that after you die, you will go to that world and be dragged to hell by him? β
Hearing his words, Matsumoto Yao glanced at him.
"Hades? Hmph, who knows what will happen after death?
You still really believe it, Taichuan, you are so naΓ―ve that you are immortal, it really disappoints me. β
Matsumoto Yao doesn't care what Master Taichuan says, he just doesn't care anyway.
"Bastard, why are you so tough old man? Can't we make an exception for the friendship between the two of us for so many years? β
Master Taichuan looked at Matsumoto Yao's determined expression, and his face was full of unwillingness.
"Hey, in that case, that's for nothing."
He sighed, turned around and walked over to the Hyuga people.
"Let's go, since he doesn't agree, we can't do anything.
This old man is a stone in a dungpit, smelly and hard, and once decided, things will never change. β
Faced with the helplessness of Master Taichuan, Hinata Agni, who had the hottest personality, rushed up.
Take the kunai out of the ninja pouch and place it on Matsumoto Yao's throat.
"Dead old man, are we really giving you face too much? Our ancestors want to invite you, how dare you put on a score?
Old immortal thing, I'll kill you today, it's useless to keep it anyway! β
Hinata's actions shocked everyone, and Master Taichuan immediately stopped him.
"Little guy, don't get excited, Master Matsumoto is a highly respected person in the carving world, don't mess around."
"Don't mess around? For the sake of my ancestors, I let it go! β
Hinata Agni's eyes were fierce.
"Junior, come, don't hesitate, if I, Matsumoto Yao, will be afraid, I won't have the face to live in this world in the future, come on."
Matsumoto Yao looked at Hinata Agni lightly, not taking his threat into account at all.
That look of death as if it were home gave Hinata a headache.
"Agni, stop! You have to think about the consequences of doing this, and you will hurt Master Matsumoto.
I will report this matter to the ancestors, abolish your blood inheritance, and expel you from the family!" β
Hinata Zuiyun grabbed Agni's hand holding the shuriken in one hand and looked directly at him with both eyes.
But my mind was full of thoughts, and I kept thinking about various methods.
It didn't take long for a smile to tug into the corners of his mouth.
