When Li Xiaochen and others rushed to the secret prison of the Shadow Department underground in Yinluo City, Zhu Yueji was staring blankly at the empty cell. When she saw the Minister of the Shadow Department arriving, she promptly explained the latest situation: Jiuyou's Demon Tribe tribe suddenly appeared in Yinluo City. Although the members of the Shadow Club appeared in Los Angeles City and tried their best, they still couldn't stop Jiuyou from rescuing their companions. Especially the demon mastiff that was summoned outside the prison tore apart the prison's defense with its sharp claws. The Shadow Club was almost at will. Mermaid meat cannot resist the Demon Mastiff. The injured are already receiving treatment, but the current situation is not optimistic.
The only good news is that after Jiuyou rescued his companions, he never caused trouble again or massacred the remaining members of the Shadow Club in one fell swoop.
This is not the first time Jiuyou has made a sneak attack on the film department. Last time, they attacked in the east and west, pretending to attack Tianmu Villa, and at the same time secretly arranged for Chen Cang to rescue the Demon Mastiff. This debt has not yet been settled with them. Today, Jiuyou launched another sneak attack to rescue someone from prison.
But the incoming Jiuyou tribe had already retreated to where to catch them. Li Xiaochen suppressed his anger and said angrily: "I didn't expect that the Ying tribe can't even watch the captured prisoners now. It's really in such a decline."[
Zhu Yueji also frowned and said: "Not long after you became the director of the film department, something like this happened and if it spread, it would be very detrimental to the reputation of the film department and you. Besides, the elders of the film department will come to assess you in a few days." Looking at what happened today, it’s better to suppress it as much as possible and not let the news leak out.”
Qin Yufei and others nodded in agreement.
Li Xiaochen said dejectedly: "Now is the difficult period for the film department. After its strength has been gradually weakened, the film department has gradually lost control of the Chinese immortal world. We are now like the British royal family. At most, we can only be regarded as a mascot to support our face." The actual control I have is no longer what it used to be. In addition, I am young, inexperienced and just took office. I don’t have much prestige. Who is willing to listen to the orders of the film department now?"
Qin Yufei consoled her: "Don't be so depressed. At least the four major families still respect the arrangements of the Xianlun Sect and the Film Department. Your deeds that shocked the Pantheon Palace a while ago will also increase your rating in the fight."
Li Xiaochen said: "My personal honor and disgrace is that the Xiaojiuyou tribe is the real headache. They have the demon king's mount, the demon mastiff, but they don't kill us all. There must be a deep-seated reason. I always feel that their plans will be bigger in the future." Don’t take it lightly.”
Zhu Yueji nodded and said: "I think so too, so I have stepped up efforts to send people to search the Jiuyou tribe's lair."
"It's probably not very effective." Li Xiaochen shook his head, "The enemy is in the dark and we are in the open. It's too difficult to find Jiuyou. We can only withstand their next attack by strengthening our own defenses. When they attack, it's us who capture Jiuyou." Best time”
"There is another difficult matter..." Zhu Yueji looked at Li Xiaochen's troubled look and hesitated and took out a letter. The envelope had a few square words written on it. Minister Li personally signed it.
Li Xiaochen took the letter and asked: "Who wrote it to me?"
Zhu Yueji said with a heavy look on her face she said four words: "Izumo Chiyuki"
"Japanese" Li Xiaochen opened the envelope and casually glanced at the delicate Japanese text on the letter paper and chuckled, "It's not a love letter that a Japanese woman wrote to me."
After hearing this name, Qin Yufei was not as able to laugh as easily as Li Xiaochen because she had heard this name before and knew the meaning it contained.
Li Xiaochen caught a glimpse of Qin Yufei's expression from the corner of his eye and hurriedly handed the letter to her: "I'd better ask my wife to read it first."
Qin Yufei was not dissatisfied with a girl writing to him, but was very afraid of the name Izumo. She picked up the letter and smelled it: "The water smells so good. Usually only cute and pretty girls use this kind of water." Write a letter with scented ink”
Li Xiaochen laughed a few times: "Let's take a look at what's written in the letter first. Is there anyone who knows Japanese who can help translate it?"
Qin Yufei quickly scanned the text on the letter and said, "It is indeed a love letter to you."
"What?" Li Xiaochen waved his hands quickly, "It's impossible, Qianxue, I've never even heard of her. How could she write a love letter to me? Yu Fei has to have a limit when joking."
"If you haven't heard of her, you may not have heard of her. Your letter also stated the date she wants to date you." Qin Yufei pointed to the words on the letterhead, "Look, it's clearly written here. "
"Really?" Li Xiaochen came over and took a few glances, "But I don't know her. Are all Japanese girls so proactive?" [
Qin Yufei smiled slightly and said, "I don't know whether Japanese girls take the initiative or not, but don't you want to hear about the date?"
"I don't want to" Li Xiaochen shook his head quickly
Qin Yufei said with a half-smile, "It's because I'm here that you don't want to be there. If I'm gone, you'd definitely be 110,000 happy."
Li Xiaochen coughed twice: "Stop teasing me and tell me why this person wants to date me."
Qin Yufei wiped the smile from her eyes and said solemnly: "This Izumo Qianxue said in the letter that he would like to invite Minister Li to Japan to visit and learn your magical skills from me."
"Sure enough..." Zhu Yueji frowned, "The people from Izumo Taisha Shrine are going to challenge us."
Li Xiaochen asked: "Can anyone explain what Izumo Taisha Shrine is?"
Qin Yufei said: "Let me explain it. Izumo Taisha Shrine is one of the oldest shrines in Japan, and it is also the only shrine in Japan to be named a 'big shrine'. The witches there practice Shinto and teach Taoism. I have heard about this profound Izumo Chiyuki before when I went to Japan. She is the most powerful miko among the younger generation of Izumo Taisha Shrine. Her Taoist skills are exquisite and cannot be underestimated."
Li Xiaochen tilted his head and tried to remember for a while: "Were she there last time at the Palace of the Gods?"
"Izuku Chiyuki has always only practiced in Izumo Taisha Shrine, so she wouldn't have participated in such exchange meetings. But your charm is so great that even a miko like that would be tempted to invite you to travel to Japan~" Qin Yufei intentionally touched Li Xiaochen with her elbow, making the latter very embarrassed.
"Don't talk nonsense. I still have a lot of troubles to deal with here. I don't have time to go to Japan to fight." Li Xiaochen snatched the letter from Qin Yufei's hand, tore it into pieces and threw it aside. "Just pretend that I have never seen him before." Pass this letter”
After ending the discussion on this topic, Li Xiaochen, Zhu Yueji, and Qin Yufei discussed the film department's future plans for making money, arranged the film department's related matters, and then rushed to the most famous five-star hotel in Yinluo City.
Why did he go there? Because Li Xiaochen received a notice from Qin Yichuan: He had sent Li Xiaochen’s family there and planned to have the two families sit down and have a meal tonight to talk about Chen and Fei’s marriage.
When they arrived at the designated room, all the parents from both families were already present. As soon as the old woman saw Qin Yufei, she pulled her to sit next to her and kept talking. Soon, he found that his future father-in-law and mother-in-law looked a little unhappy.
"Mom, let Yufei sit over there with her parents first. Once you enter the house, she has been occupied by you alone. You can't even say hello to her family." Li Xiaochen wisely made Qin Yufei sit down next to her parents. So that the two of them don't have unhappy faces anymore
Qin Yichuan hummed and thought to himself. Fortunately, Li Xiaochen was not as ignorant as his mother, otherwise he would not be happy to marry his daughter.
When the old lady saw Qin Yichuan's pretentious face, she felt very unhappy: "Isn't there just a few stinky money? What's the big deal?"
Before the hot dishes were served, Lin Yifei was the first to speak up and get into the topic: "My mother-in-law, I don't like to beat around the bush, so I just said it directly. Xiao Li and our Fei'er are in love, and our two children are here to talk about marriage." Their relationship was cultivated in China at this age... Well, it is already known to everyone. Our two families are gathering here tonight to discuss wedding arrangements for the children. We all know something about your family's situation. Your husband lost a woman early. It’s not easy to raise two children. My family is relatively poor. I think our wife will organize the children’s wedding. What do you think?”
When my mother heard this, she became even more unhappy. She sat up like those royal nobles who have been trained in etiquette and said: "Our family is indeed not as rich as your family, but it is not that we can't even hold a wedding. Let's talk about Yu Fei getting married in the future. This wedding in our Li family should also be hosted by our husband."
Lin Yifei smiled and said, "Can you afford it? Apart from Xiaoyu, Yufei, and her father, there is only one precious daughter who has been regarded as the apple of his eye for so many years. When our daughter is married, we must make the wedding grand and dignified." What you don’t like to hear is how can you be so prosperous with such a difficult family situation?”
"Mom... you've been talking for a long time and your throat is dry. Let's take a sip of tea first." Qin Yufei heard the smell of gunpowder in these words and quickly brought the tea over to calm it down.
My mother has always been a strong-tempered person. What she couldn't bear to hear the most was when others said she was poor. Lin Yifei's unpleasant words immediately angered her [
"Why can't our family be prosperous? You said you know the situation of our family. Do you know how many digits are there in my bank account? Do you know how many zeros follow it? It's really ridiculous to start making noises without knowing anything. It’s funny that I’m a country bumpkin and can’t hold a wedding... We can’t afford it, let alone your family’s daughter. Even if Bafat marries his granddaughter, I can still arrange it properly.”
Li Xiaochen was very embarrassed and whispered into his mother's ear: "It's Buffett."
"You brat, don't tear me down and stay here." Mom rolled up her sleeves and glared at Lin Yifei without giving in. The atmosphere on the table immediately became tense.
