On the other side, Seimei, apart from the matter of Yukie, has recently started to worry about another thing inexplicably.

The recent Heianjing... seems a little too peaceful.

Why do you say that?

Those monsters who were supposed to come out to have sex on the street at night seemed to have disappeared overnight. It was difficult to find their traces for a while, and it was unknown what they were afraid of. They all hid in unknown places. Where they went, they behaved very abnormally.

And people who were afraid to travel at night, after discovering this, are no longer as frightened as before.

They credit the Onmyojis with driving away evil yokai.

This is a good thing, isn't it, but...why did it suddenly become like this?

What is the reason for such an unusual situation?

Seimei frowned.

He had just come out of the Yinyang dormitory at this time, looking at the lively scene around him, he just felt as if he was not in it, and unconsciously lost his mind again, until Xiao Bai who was following behind made a sound to remind him. Come.

"Master Seimei, why do you look so worried?"

Xiaobai noticed that Qingming was a little absent-minded along the way, and asked curiously.

Hearing this sentence, Qingming frowned a little, his tone was very gentle, but with a trace of sadness: "Even I don't know why..."

Xiaobai shook his head in confusion, but he didn't continue to ask, but followed Qingming, who seemed to be thinking about something, back to the mansion.

Although no changes can be seen from the outside, the haze in Qingming's heart has never dissipated.

That strange feeling was always with him like a shadow.

But when he returned to the mansion, he unexpectedly saw Hongye.

That beautiful girl was sitting at the banquet, explaining something to Yao Dao Ji with a serious face.

Seimei's mood was a little complicated when he saw the red leaves.

He originally wanted to return the token that Hongye gave him, but he didn't expect to delay the matter because of Onikiri, but now Hongye probably thinks that he has agreed to some extent.

So Hongye raised her head when she heard the sound, and the moment she saw Seimei, a blush appeared on the girl's cheeks, and she said not shyly: "Qing, Master Seimei..."

Yaodao Ji glanced at Hongye, then pointed at Hongye's face expressionlessly and curiously: "Miss Hongye, your face is so red, is it too hot?"

Hongye shook her head, only looking at Seimei with joy in her eyes.

Seeing her reaction, Qingming let out a long sigh.

The most difficult to accept the grace of beauty.

For some reason, Qingming thought of this sentence helplessly.

At this time, the scene of the two people looking at each other, in the eyes of the third person, is full of ambiguity and lingering meaning.

Yaodao Ji, who was rarely exposed to such things, didn't understand. Her tone was still cold, but it was a little more humane, with some doubts: "Master Qingming, Miss Hongye?"

Hongye finally woke up, but the eyes she looked at Qingming were still full of flame-like enthusiasm and love.

After she boldly conveyed her heart to Qingming with a token that day, she has been anxiously waiting for Qingming's reply.

But she didn't expect Qingming to take that maple leaf away.

Could it be... Mr. Qingming, also likes himself?

Hongye secretly guessed.

There is nothing happier than being loved by someone you love.

She only felt that as long as she got Qingming's love, she seemed to be very satisfied, and nothing else would attract her attention.

At this moment, Seimei looked at Hongye with the same eyes as usual.

But in fact, he was very helpless and entangled. Seimei was thinking about whether to tell Hongye what he really thought, but Hongye didn't notice anything unusual about him.

His eyes are still so gentle, his face seems more elegant in Hongye's eyes.

Qingming said softly: "Yao Dao Ji, Xiao Bai, you all go out first, I have something I want to talk to Miss Hongye."

Yao Dao Ji has always been very obedient to Qingming's words, she never questioned Qing Ming, although she was a little confused, she still left quickly, but Xiaobai still wanted to watch, and was grabbed by Yao Dao Ji when she was about to say something. He walked out the door with a hug on his shoulder.

Hongye became even more nervous.

Originally, when other people were around, she still dared to look Qingming squarely in the face, pouring out her love slowly without hesitation, but when facing Qingming alone, she felt nervous for no reason.

She didn't know what Qingming was going to tell her, but secretly grabbed the corner of her clothes.

Qingming looked at her for a while, then took out the maple leaf.

Hongye's eyes widened: "Master Seimei?"

She just felt her heart beating so fast.

Qingming looked at her, feeling that the air was frozen, and said after a while, "I'm sorry."

Hongye bit her lip: "Master Seimei, you, what do you mean..."

Seimei sighed, and put the maple leaf that was crushed into powder by Shuten-douji before, and was later recovered by Seimei to return to its original shape, and placed in her palm. His tone was gentle and peaceful, but in Hongye seemed so cruel: "I'm sorry...Hongye, I can't accept your intentions."

Hongye only felt that her eyes were a little dry, her eyes were a little weak and full of sadness: "I understand what you mean, Master Seimei."

Qingming knew that Hongye would be very sad, but he couldn't do anything to maintain this relationship even though he obviously didn't love her. He looked at Hongye with a consoling tone: "Don't cry..."

He remembered that Hongye was very concerned about her appearance, so she said, "If you keep crying, you won't be pretty." He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Hongye's eyes.

Hongye looked at him, not knowing why, tears fell out again involuntarily.

"Master Qingming, I, I really..."

I really like you.

In fact, she also felt that Qingming only had affection and apology for her, but no love...

But she was thinking about that glimmer of hope.

I hope the other party will like me.

Hongye touched her face, forced a smile and said, "Master Qingming doesn't like me, is it because I'm not beautiful?"

"No, you are already very beautiful."

"Not enough, it must be because I am not beautiful enough..."

Hongye muttered to herself.

Qingming didn't notice the despair in her eyes, but thought she just couldn't accept it for a while.

Hongye suddenly threw herself on him, crying bitterly.

She was originally a girl with an outgoing personality, and she was unwilling to hide her emotions. At this moment, she was extremely sad, and she only wanted to spend more time with the person in front of her.

In his eyes, at this moment, it's only good for him.

Qingming didn't push her away, but silently and gently patted her head.

And it is the tenderness of such small details that makes Hongye even more sad.

She felt that she seemed to be unable to get this person no matter what.

Hearing the crying inside, Yaodao Ji frowned: "Master Qingming, what exactly did you say to Miss Hongye?"

Xiaobai's tail twitched, and he said, "A few words can make Miss Hongye so sad...human beings are so strange."

Yaodao Ji nodded: "Although Master Qingming has taught me a lot, it seems that I... still don't understand human beings."

Miss Hongye was obviously very happy just now, and kept asking Master Qingming when he would come back, but now that she saw Master Qingming, how could she cry so sadly.

Is she lying?

Miss Hongye, actually I don't want to see Master Seimei at all...

Hongye cried for a long, long time.

Until she felt as if she could no longer shed tears, she got up and wiped the corners of her eyes, then tidied up and was about to leave Qingming's mansion.

Her soft voice was a little hoarse: "I really... disturbed Master Qingming today."

Qingming looked at her and shook her head: "Please don't say such things."

Hongye wanted to smile at Seimei but couldn't, and left in a hurry.

Qingming looked at her somewhat unsteady footsteps, and sighed again.

It seems that no matter what, it will make her sad.

But Seimei decided to investigate first, the ghosts in Heian-kyo suddenly disappeared recently.

Thinking of this, he looked at the gradually darkening sky outside.

After Hongye left Seimei's mansion, she didn't go home directly.

She didn't know where she had gone, she just walked aimlessly, her eyes were swollen like walnuts.

And Shuten-douji, who had been guarding the gate of Qingming's mansion, couldn't bear it anymore after following her all the way, and he showed his own figure.

When he saw that Hongye was abnormal, he subconsciously said: "Miss Hongye..."

Hongye didn't look at him, but just kept walking.

Shuten-douji noticed her red eyes, and blocked her footsteps with distress and anxiety: "What's wrong with you? Who bullied you?"

Hongye finally saw Shuten-douji, his face was somewhat familiar, as if he was the boy who gave her Maple Leaf.

Thinking of this, she only felt more sad, and even looked at the person in front of her a little disgusted: "Don't worry about it! Go away!"

Shuten-douji frowned tightly, he would not leave her because of Hongye's words, but asked stubbornly: "Is it because of the person inside?"

The direction he pointed was the direction of Qingming's mansion.

Hongye was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said: "It's not about Master Qingming, it's all my fault..."

She suddenly knelt down and began to cry, and then said after a while: "If I become more beautiful, will Lord Seimei like me?"

Shuten-douji, who was ignored, felt as if his heart had been poured with ice water. In addition, he also felt very heartache. This feeling was more difficult than being injured.

He quietly looked at the sad woman on the ground, and suddenly fell silent.

Shutendouji felt powerless for a while.
