The entire banquet hall is filled with an elegant atmosphere, with delicate screens and washi lanterns swaying in the breeze, shedding a warm glow. The walls are hung with precious ancient paintings of the Ampere family, showing their profound artistic accomplishment and taste passed down from generation to generation. At the ornate cherry blossom wood table, guests whispered in groups, each dressed in their most elaborate gown, exuding a hint of pleasure and respect.

The head of the Ampere family, Ampere Qingming, stood at the other end of the hall, smiling and greeting every guest who arrived. He was tall and tall, dressed in ornate hunting clothes, and wore a seal made of bronze jade on his chest. His eyes shone with wisdom, giving a sense of his profound knowledge and majesty as an onmyoji.

Mu Yu was ushered in front of Ampei Qingming, and he bowed deeply to show his respect for this great onmyoji. Ampere smiled and nodded in return, then led him to an empty seat. The family feast gradually heated up amid the sound of toasts and pleasant conversations.

After three rounds of drinking, the family banquet entered a climax. Fine food continues to be served, and a variety of delicacies are dizzying. One of the special dishes caught Mu Yu's attention was a steaming bowl of fox stewed mushrooms. This is a specialty dish of the Ampere family, which is said to be made by the secret recipe of the Ampere family, and its delicious taste is unforgettable.

As the music sounded, Ampere's lion dance team began to perform. Dressed in golden costumes and lion head masks, they perform a vivid interpretation of the ancient lion dance dance. The warm atmosphere infected every guest present, and everyone applauded.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the red brick and green tiles of Ampere Mansion, outlining a beautiful picture of golden red. Under the cherry blossom trees in the courtyard, Mu Yu is sitting quietly, his smart eyes looking ahead.

Suddenly, a commotion shattered the silence. A group of teenagers dressed in Onmyoji costumes surrounded a girl in gorgeous clothes and walked into the courtyard. The girl's appearance is beautiful and her demeanor is haughty, which is in stark contrast to the teenagers around her.

"Look, that Mu Yu is divining again." An onmyoji boy pointed in the direction of Mu Yu and said to the person next to him with a mocking smile.

"It's ridiculous, isn't divination something that only we onmyoji can do? He is a common man, and he really dares to make an axe. Another teenager answered, his eyes full of contempt.

When the girl heard this, she cast a disdainful glance at Mu Yu, and a sneering smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Mu Yu just glanced at them faintly, and then continued the divination in his hand. His expression was so indifferent, as if none of this had anything to do with him, he was just doing what he loved.

Seeing that Mu Yu was indifferent, the group of onmyoji boys seemed to be even more arrogant. They began to surround Mu Yu, mocking him with all kinds of ugly words, and becoming jealous.

"Stop arguing, y'all." The girl frowned and waved her hand, "We shouldn't waste time here. ”

With that, she turned to leave, and the group of teenagers immediately followed her, as if they were queens.

At this time, under the cherry blossom trees in the courtyard, Mu Yu sat opposite each other with a group of onmyoji juniors, with different expressions on their faces, some proud, some doubtful, and even an indescribable jealousy.

Mu Yu, who was surrounded by everyone in the center, had a calm face and eyes as deep as the sea. He was dressed in a delicate witch costume, and a simple jade pendant hung around his waist, green as moss after rain, and his skin was as white as snow. His existence was like a bright knife, piercing into the eyes of that group of Onmyoji juniors.

"Isn't this the shepherd?" A young onmyoji in a blue tunic robe sneered and spoke, "What is he doing here?" Who does he think he is? ”

A young onmyoji next to the blue-robed onmyoji tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Okay, San Lang, don't do this." He's a guest. ”

The young onmyoji named San Lang glared at her, and then smiled coldly at Mu Yu, "Hmph, we don't have any extra space for you here." ”

Mu Yu glanced at him, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth. That smile seemed to contain all the tolerance and disdain, and he slowly spoke, "I don't need a position, I'm just here to see how powerful this new generation of Onmyoji of the Ampere family is." ”

This sentence was like a stone thrown into the calm lake, and the faces of those onmyoji juniors instantly became ugly. They exchanged glances with each other, as if asking each other what to do. And the young onmyoji named San Lang was even more angry.

"You-" He pointed at Mu Yu, his fingers trembling and pointing at him, but he couldn't speak.

Mu Yu didn't look at him anymore, his gaze went over the heads of those onmyoji juniors, and looked at the sunset in the distance. His demeanor reveals a kind of indifference without desire, but it seems to carry an unknown ambition. Mu Yu in that scene is like a tall pine tree, no matter what kind of wind and rain, he can't shake him in the slightest.

At this time, Ampere Qingtian, the owner of Ampere's house, walked out of the house, and when he saw this scene in the courtyard, he frowned slightly. However, he didn't say anything, just glanced at Mu Yu lightly, and then sat cross-legged on the big rock in the center.

"Let's get started." Ampere Clear Sky said.

With his words, the atmosphere in the courtyard instantly tensed. Those Onmyoji juniors sat down one after another, their eyes focused on Mu Yu, as if he was their prey. Mu Yu didn't care about their gaze, he just sat there quietly, like an old monk who had settled down.

Ampere nodded and waved to the juniors. Their palms immediately surged with a ghostly fire-like aura, which was their Shikami. Under their control, these Shikikami rushed towards the Pastoral Rain.

However, Mu Yu did not react at all. He just sat there quietly, as if waiting for something. The shikikami rushed in front of him, but they immediately retreated, as if blocked by an invisible wall.

The juniors' ridicule came and went, and their eyes were full of pride and contempt when they looked at Mu Yu. But Mu Yu never moved, and he always had a faint smile on his face.

A hint of doubt flashed in Ampere's eyes, and then he nodded and said softly, "Very good." ”

Mu Yu looked at them with a smile on his face all the time. She knew that these juniors were actually just bluffing. She smiled indifferently and replied, "I don't need to be compared to you, I just need to be myself." ”
