Seeing that he didn't seem to be calm yet, and was violently venting his anger, Jiu Ge rolled his eyes and jokingly said: "In the beginning, you looked at A Li with the same look that fell on me, why don't you look at me like that now? Woolen cloth?"

City Lord Ota froze and looked at her stiffly.

Want to refute, but guilty.

Jiuge smiled and said: "Because you think I'm not easy to mess with. You are the owner of Xingyuan, and you have the most basic knowledge. My identity is unknown, and Naluo's ability is unknown. This makes you instinctively guard against us. So you don't You can answer my every request, at least treat me with courtesy. But that onmyoji is different, you can find out his identity by moving your finger, but he is a low-level onmyoji from the He Mao family. Because of his limited talent, he is not valued by the He Mao family at all. Such a weak man, but surpassing you in high position and weight, has gained Ah Li's attention for no reason, such a gap, naturally makes you feel unwilling."

She sighed: "But this is wrong. City Master Ota, from the very beginning, you have not treated A Li on an equal footing. Whether you admit it or not, in your heart, A Li is someone you can play with at will— —Even if you package the flowers with layers of beautiful lies. It is precisely because of this that you will be so angry after being rejected by her. But ah, feelings are different from others. If you are not good for you, others have to like you. Look at Naraku—”

As she said that, she raised her finger to Naluo who was standing by the railing, "He is handsome enough and capable enough, isn't he? But even if he is as strong as him, there are people who can't ask for it."

City Lord Ota looked in the direction she pointed, and Naraku showed a kind of displeasure at being poked and hurt his feet, and suddenly his eyes widened in disbelief.

"how come?"

His thoughts were distracted, his anger gradually extinguished, and even a trace of curiosity secretly arose in his heart.

Naraku looked at her gloomily: "Just say how boring I am, why didn't you tell City Lord Ota what you did when you couldn't ask for it?"

City Lord Otian took advantage of the situation and secretly glanced at Jiuge curiously, his ears pricked up, his eyes sparkling.

Jiu Ge calmly stroked the remaining hair on his sideburns: "My personal experience is not of reference value, because I am not at the same level as you. What's more, I am a girl. It is okay to ask girls about their emotional experience at will. Very disrespectful behavior. I am young and ignorant, how can you be like me?"

Straightforward, without any guilt.

****

Ah Li's ignorance angered Ota City Lord.

After knowing this, the boss of Liren Pavilion, who was afraid of retaliation, locked her in the training room and made her reflect.

The boss's scolding words were still in his ears, and Ali, who didn't understand, curled up on the cold floor, like falling into an ice cave.

In the darkness, time lost its trace of existence.

After an unknown amount of time, the door of the Japanese room was suddenly opened.

A Li raised his eyes and saw that it was a beautiful and noble woman with a calm and peaceful expression, as if she had the atmosphere of the forest.No matter how you look at it, she is a noble person who shouldn't appear in such dirty places.

The woman then threw the token to the boss: "Xingyuan City will respond to everything you ask for. Man, I will take it away. If you have nothing else to do, then leave."

The boss held the token tightly, smiled obsequiously, and withdrew respectfully.

Ah Li was stunned, and immediately sat up, looking vigilantly at the woman who walked in slowly.

"You are……"

"My name is Jiu Ge, you don't have to be nervous."

Jiuge smiled reassuringly, "I came here on behalf of Ota City Lord. After he knew that his recklessness had brought you a bad influence, he blamed himself very much. He was very regretful and embarrassed to apologize personally, so he asked me to come and talk to you. You say sorry."

Ah Li's body tensed up, his eyes were undiminished, and he didn't believe what she said at all.

Jiu Ge also discovered that women living in this environment may be particularly sensitive to lies.

Touching her nose, she crossed her legs and sat down in front of A Li in a very casual manner: "Well... let's put it this way, after my careful teaching with virtue, the Lord of Ota has seriously reflected on his mistakes, and I am deeply sorry At the same time, he also promised not to bother you again. The token of Xingyuan City was given to me by him—as a reward for my hard work and teaching. But I don’t need that thing, so I remembered that there is still you, the sufferer. The token of Xingyuan City on you can be regarded as a karma. Don't be afraid, I am also a woman, and I will never harm you."

Ah Li was very flustered, wanted to look at it but dared not, so he said softly: "Then what do you need me to do?"

"It does not need."

Jiu Ge got up, and stretched out his hand to help her up, "After leaving the Liren Pavilion, do you have a place to stay?"

Her hands were soft and warm, Ah Li used his strength to stand firm, and couldn't help being stunned when asked.She grew up here since she was a child, and because she is grateful, she has been living as everyone expected. When she was suddenly asked about her future plans, she was a little at a loss.

Just like a bird released into the wild, facing the opened cage door, he hesitates and panics.

Jiu Ge thoughtfully didn't ask any more questions, and only said: "If you can't find a safe place for the time being, why don't you come with me first. The place where I live temporarily is the Inari Shrine on the mountain in Kyoto. Although it is not as prosperous as other shrines, it is a Very quiet place to live.”

Ah Li thought about it, but didn't refuse.

When returning to the attic on the top floor to pack his luggage, A Li held the fan used for the performance in his hand and looked at it for a long time, and finally put it down. He simply packed a few ordinary clothes and brought a letter with Waka.

Jiu Ge picked up the fan and said to her, "Don't you want this one?"

A Li shook his head: "In the future... it probably won't be needed anymore."

Jiu Ge smiled: "This is also a very important thing for you. It's a pity to leave it in such a place. If you don't mind, you might as well leave it to me."

"If you like it, you can take it. It's just that this is what I'm used to, and it's a bit old." Although she didn't know why she valued a fan, Ah Li didn't have that much curiosity.

"I only like old things." Jiu Ge's answer was also weird.

When Ah Li was about to leave, he didn't take any belongings. It was the little girl who served her on weekdays who forced the money into her bag.

The little girl endured the tears of parting: "You need money everywhere outside, you can't do it like this. Also, let me tell you, no matter what happens in the future, you must live well and never, never come back! Now let's go—"

Ah Li held her hand, his eyes were red.

In the end was the little girl, with a ruthless heart, she withdrew her hand, turned and ran into the depths of the intertwined corridors.

When we returned to Inari Shrine, it was already a bright moon and a long sky.

Chiyo was playing the flute when she saw them walking slowly past the torii gate, she was overjoyed and hurried up to greet them, only to find that she had turned the top sign of Liren Pavilion over, and fell into a daze.

Jiuge introduced: "Ali, this is Chiyo, the maiden of Inari Shrine."

Chiyo: "...!" She knew that Jiuge was capable, but she didn't know that she was so capable!

"Hello..." Ah Li mistakenly thought that he was concerned about her identity, so he lowered his head sourly, and apologized at a loss: "I'm sorry, if I come, it will cause you inconvenience. Don't worry, I will leave after dawn. to trouble you."

Only then did Chiyo look at her seriously.

A Li is very beautiful, it is a very light and delicate beauty, like the pink cherry blossoms on the branches in spring, beautiful and fragile, but fleeting.Perhaps it is because performing on stage requires extremely high physical fitness, and her figure looks extremely thin. At this moment, her head is drooping, her expression is panicked, and she is more and more lovable.

Jiu Ge explained with a smile: "Her name is A Li, and she is also a poor woman. Like me, she is homeless."

Chiyo took a look at Jiuge, and then held A Li's hand: "I'm just a little surprised that Jiuge was able to coax you over... Inari Shrine has been down since its downfall, and it's already very simple. If you don't mind, feel free. Stay here, the Inari Shrine exists to protect everyone, as a shrine maiden, I welcome you very much."

Ali looked at her gratefully.

Tamamo, who was following Chiyo, thought of something, and said, "Chiyo, the rooms in the shrine that are suitable for people are already full. It's getting late at night, and it's not suitable to clean up now..."

Jiu Ge said: "Then let Ah Li live in my room."

She turned her head to look at Naluo, who was hanging high beside her, and said with a smile, "It's fine for me to live in a room with Naluo."

Seeing this, Ah Li wanted to refuse, she could sleep anywhere for the night by herself.

Naluo glanced at Jiuge stomping on her foot, and said expressionlessly, "Let her come with me."

Jiu Ge smiled and praised him for his understanding.

Chiyo was embarrassed.

Although she knew that the relationship between the two of them was delicate, Jiu Ge was so calm now that she felt a little guilty for thinking about it.

Tamazamo closed the fan with some regret.

Go back to the house.

Jiuge sat cross-legged on the tatami mat casually, opened and closed the book in her hand, closed it and opened it again, repeated this several times, and the pages of the book rattled, and Naruto was even annoyed by her.

"what happened?"

"Why is it useless!"

Jiu Ge flipped the book up and down in disbelief, feeling uneasy, she simply got up and paced back and forth.

Naraku looked at her suspiciously: "What's useless?"

Jiu Ge threw the book to him: "You read it yourself!"

She was very anxious, and this uneasy feeling made her hands and feet feel cold, "The pages I opened before were all blank pages. I always thought that the Jade of the Four Souls was not capable enough, so I couldn't reproduce the contents of the silk scroll itself. I don't know. The purpose of constantly searching for things of cause and effect is to make up for the lack of jade of the four souls, and to reproduce the contents of the silk scrolls of the year. One or two remodels are blank pages themselves, and that’s all. How come now, at that time Not a single page was restored..."

Even if the existences that had been associated with her fell and disappeared, the marks left on her pages could not disappear.

Why, why hasn't even a single mark been recovered?

Jiuge spun back and forth, making Naluo dizzy. He rubbed his brows: "Maybe cause and effect are not enough?"

"Impossible!" Jiu Ge said firmly, "The number of blank pages has reached the extreme, but the glued parts have not recovered at all. This is absolutely impossible because of insufficient cause and effect!"

Naraku looked at the book in his hand again and again, and pondered: "Maybe it's because the rest of it has been completely glued together, and it's impossible to recover it little by little. Maybe it needs a lot of causal things to recover at once?"

He raises a possibility.

Jiuge's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Why didn't I think of this possibility! Naraku, Naraku, your brain is really easy to use!"

She threw herself on Naluo gratefully, and hugged him to express her gratitude, but he was very moved and refused.

Jiu Ge didn't mind either. He took out the book with a smile, opened the door and ran away without a trace.
