Chapter 481: Marriage? Future son-in-law?
This time, Aize could see the emotion in Asatake Yoshino's eyes.
There's no way, the look this time was too obvious, and Yoshino Asatake herself seemed to be deliberately trying to make herself appear more resolute, so that not only did she not look as kind as her father, Yasuharu Asatake, she even gave people a feeling of indifference.
"I'm sorry, Aize-kun." Chao Wu Anqing seemed to be somewhat self-conscious, smiled bitterly, and said: "Because this matter is very important to my family, especially Fang Nai, who is closely related to this matter, so she must be present. I hope you can understand."
"It's okay." Aize withdrew his gaze from Asatake Yoshino, shook his head, and said: "As long as it can help me solve my doubts, it may not be a bad thing to have more people who know the truth."
The calmness displayed by Aize was perhaps quite eye-catching, wasn't it? Not only Asatake Yoshino and Asatake Yasuharu, but even Kurama Genjuro showed an expression of admiration.
"It seems that my master is not just good at making people angry."
Cong Yu finally let go of Aize's hand, floated into the air, and said these words as if her anger had subsided.
Unfortunately, the only ones who responded to Cong Yu's words were Aize and Asatake Yoshino who glanced at Cong Yu.
This made Aize's heart move.
"Mr. Anqing, as the chief priest, cannot see the manager of Cong Yuwan, but Asatake Yoshino, as the priestess, seems to be able to see it?"
Thinking of what Chaowu Anqing just said, "Yangno is even more closely related to this matter," Aize probably understood a little.
"So, Ai-kun, could you please explain why you suddenly went to pull out Cong Yuwan?"
Chao Wu Anqing spoke in a gentle tone, as if trying not to give Aize the feeling of questioning.
"As far as I know, you didn't participate in the sword-drawing ceremony to draw out Cong Yu Wan, but you suddenly rushed forward and drew out Cong Yu Wan, right?"
This still made Chao Wu Anqing and others feel very confused.
If Aize had drawn out the Cong Yu Wan during the normal sword-drawing ceremony, they would not have been so confused about it.
In fact, many people, including the people in Suizhi Town, have tried to pull out Cong Yuwan, but they all failed in the end.
But Aize was different. He suddenly went up to the stage, climbed up the rock, grasped the divine sword, and then pulled it out.
This behavior can really make people feel a little confused.
Aize did not hide anything about this.
"In fact, when I was very young, I had a very special physical reaction when I was close to the Jianshi Shrine." Aize finally said this, "When I was close to the Jianshi Shrine, my heartbeat would inexplicably speed up, as if I was out of control and attracted by something."
"At that time, I thought there was something wrong with my body, so I didn't go to the Kenshi Shrine and went home for a check-up, but nothing was found."
"After that, I never went near the Kenshi Shrine again until today..."
Aize told everyone about his experience.
He told everyone that he followed the parade to Kenshimi Shrine today, and just like when he was a child, his heart beat faster for some reason.
He suppressed this feeling and entered the shrine. When he saw Cong Yuwan, his heartbeat suddenly became extremely intense and he even had the urge to draw his sword.
When he came to his senses, he had already risen up because of this impulse and pulled out Cong Yu Wan.
"Now it seems that, whether it was that time when I was a child or this time, it should be Cong Yuwan who was trying to call me and make me draw my sword."
Aize expressed his thoughts.
"It's just that I didn't enter the shrine and pull out the Cong Yu Wan when I was a child. This time I happened to encounter the sword-drawing event, and by chance I came into contact with the Cong Yu Wan and pulled it out."
Aize raised the Cong Yuwan in his hand, and the blade of this famous divine sword in Suizhi stood upright.
“Zheng…”
A faint stream of light immediately flashed on the blade, as if echoing Aize's statement and confirming his words, causing everyone to open their eyes wide.
Everyone present knew that Cong Yuwan was extraordinary, and they also knew that the legend of the Imperial Sword was not false, but real.
But it was the first time they had seen Cong Yuwan being pulled out like this, not to mention seeing the knife display its extraordinary qualities and mysterious power.
Even Cong Yu seemed a little surprised.
"Cong Yuwan actually responded to others so actively. This is the first time I've seen it!"
Not to mention responding to Aize's words so positively, even everything Aize just said was a little unbelievable to Cong Yu.
Cong Yuwan’s call and so on…things like this have never happened before!
It’s not like there have been users of Cong Yu Wan in the past, otherwise there wouldn’t be the legend of Suori using the divine sword to slay monsters and repel invaders. But those people couldn’t make Cong Yu Wan react to them. If she, the manager of the divine power, didn’t enter Cong Yu Wan, then Cong Yu Wan would just be an ordinary sword, and there wouldn’t be anything magical about it.
However, today, this perception was broken.
Even though she was not residing in Cong Yuwan, this divine sword still responded to Aize, proving that what her new owner had just said was true.
"What on earth is going on? Lord Cong Yu?"
Chao Wu Fang Nai couldn't help but ask Cong Yu.
Aize glanced at Asatake Yasuharu and Kurama Genjuro, and seeing that they did not react to what Asatake Yoshino did, he immediately understood.
"Although Cong Yu cannot be seen, Mr. An Qing and Grandpa clearly know of Cong Yu's existence."
Aize estimated that some people who had a particularly close relationship with Hoori should know some secrets of this town.
Especially the older generation, when Ma Tingluhua and others suspected that there was something wrong with the sword-drawing ceremony, they severely reprimanded them, proving that although they may not know the secret of the spike weaving, they at least would not doubt the authenticity of the myths and legends.
"This town is really becoming more and more mysterious, and more and more interesting."
While Aize was thinking this, Cong Yu had already answered Chaowu Yoshino's question.
"Even if you ask me, I don't know what's going on." Cong Yu said with a confused look on his face: "I have been the manager of Cong Yu Wan for hundreds of years, but I have never encountered such an example."
"...Then why did this happen?" Asatake Yoshino pursed her lips and said, "Mr. Aize, he..."
"Yeah." Cong Yu nodded and looked at Aize, with a strange look in his eyes, and said: "Perhaps, even among the users of Cong Yu Wan in history, the master is a special existence?"
Asatake Yoshinori fell silent for a moment.
Asatake Yasuharu and Kurama Genjuro looked at each other, and then looked at Aize.
"We already understand the situation. We are really sorry to bother you." Chao Wu Anqing's attitude was still as gentle as ever, and he said to Aize: "Since it has been confirmed that it was Ai Jun who pulled Cong Yuwan out, and Cong Yuwan has also recognized you, then we can get down to business."
"Father." Chaowu Yoshinori immediately called Chaowu Anqing, as if he was objecting to something.
But Asatake Yasuharu gave Asatake Yoshino a bitter smile.
"No matter what, Ai-kun is a user approved by Cong Yu Wan. Lord Cong Yu should have approved this as well, right?"
"In this case, we can't just ignore Ai Jun's existence, even though we shouldn't involve him in our affairs."
"This is something you should be doing, Yoshino."
At this point, Asatake Yasuharu's expression became a little serious, causing Asatake Yoshino to lose her voice.
Chao Wu Anqing then smiled at Aize again and made a request as soon as he opened his mouth.
"I know it's a little sudden for me to say this, but Aijun, can you please officially move into our house starting today?"
After hearing this, Aize was stunned.
"Live in your house?" Aize was surprised and hesitant, "Are you referring to this Kenshi Shrine?"
"That's right." He nodded to Wu Anqing and said, "Of course, I will prepare a room for you. During your stay here, all expenses will be covered by us, including but not limited to the tuition and miscellaneous fees you will need after transferring to Suizhi."
"Transfer to Hoori?" Aize was even more shocked and asked, "Do I have to transfer here?"
"Yes." He smiled at Wu Anqing and said, "I have discussed this matter with Mr. Xuan Julang."
Aize shifted his gaze to Kurama Genjuro.
"Mr. Yasuharu wants you to stay in Hoori, and preferably in Kenji Shrine." Seeing this, Kurama Genjuro said to Aize, "I will be responsible for explaining it to your parents and try my best to get their consent."
Hearing this, Aize opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.
It's just a transfer, it's not something he can't accept.
Anyway, he didn't have any particularly close friends at school, and the academic workload in Longguo was extremely heavy, while the academic workload here was not that intense. In addition, Hoori was a place he was familiar with, so transferring here was not particularly difficult to accept.
As for studying, if he can accept it and his parents and family members agree, then it doesn't matter where he is, right?
only……
"I'm here to help you, Grandpa."
Aize said this somewhat helplessly, but all he got in return was comfort from Kurama Genjuro.
"Don't worry about Shinadu Village. I will make other arrangements."
According to Kurama Genjuro, if Aize agreed to live in Kenjiro Shrine, not only would all expenses be covered by the Asatake family, but he would not have to work at Shinatosu-so during the holidays and could just spend the holiday normally.
This is naturally what Aize wanted.
I believe that no one would refuse the idea of being able to spend a relaxing vacation in the weaving without having to work part-time.
The problem is…
"I have no reason to accept the offerings from the Jianshi Shrine." Aize said to Chao Wu Anqing, "Just because I pulled out the Imperial Sword, can I accept the offerings from the Jianshi Shrine with peace of mind?"
It always feels weird.
But Chao Wu Anqing said something that was shocking.
"So, if you marry Yoshino, can you live here with peace of mind?"
Asatake Yasuharu's words made the entire shrine silent.
"?"
A question mark appeared on Aize’s forehead.
"well?"
Asatake Yoshino, who had been silent on the side, was also completely stunned.
Mr. An Qing (father)...what did he just say?
""Get married!?""
Aize and Asatake Yoshino shouted at the same time.
"Sure enough, is it too sudden?" Chao Wu Anqing smiled as if she didn't see the two people's excessive reaction, "Of course I'm not asking you to get married now, but to sign a marriage contract first, spend some time with each other, and then fulfill the marriage contract when both parties feel there is no problem. There will be no problem this way, right?"
Is this no problem?
This is a huge problem!
"Wait! Father!" For the first time, Yoshinori Asatake's tight face broke. It was also the first time she showed panic in line with her age. She hurriedly said, "You didn't tell me about this!"
"Because Fangnai, you will definitely object, right?" Chao Wu Anqing seemed to have expected this reaction from her daughter, and said, "But this is a very necessary matter. We can't just let Aijun live in our house for no reason, right?"
"After all, Suizhi is a very small place, and there are some very complicated rumors. If we let Ai-kun live in our house without any reason, it will definitely bring him trouble."
"But if we announce to the public that Ai-kun is our family's chosen future son-in-law and that he may need to practice with the shrine's chief priest as his goal, there won't be any strange rumors."
No, no, no, no... It's weird to suddenly have someone enter into a marriage contract with the shrine maiden of this shrine!
There are also strange rumors. I just returned to Hoori today and pulled out the sacred sword that has been enshrined in the shrine for generations. As a result, I became the fiancé of the shrine maiden in the blink of an eye. Wouldn't there be some strange rumors?
How could such an astonishing development come about?
Aize really wanted to complain about all this, but Kurama Genjuro just shook his head at him.
"Mr. An Qing also has his own considerations. There are some very complicated reasons. Anyway, it's just an engagement. It doesn't mean you can get married right away. Just wait and see for now."
Kurama Genjuro said this in the same tone of request as Asatake Yasuharu just now.
This was the first time that Kurama Genjuro begged him in such a tone. Aize thought about it, and finally calmed down the various thoughts in his mind and decided to wait and see for the time being.
However, Asatake Yoshino did not have as good an attitude as Aize, and looked anxious.
"How can this be possible, father, to suddenly let someone get married... I don't agree!"
Asatake Yoshino strongly objected.
However, Chao Wu Anqing, who looked very gentle, had an unexpectedly firm attitude.
"Your mother was like this too. Her marriage was arranged by your grandfather." He said to Takeuchi Anqing, "It's just an engagement. It doesn't mean you can get married right away. So, even if it's for your own sake, you have to think about it, Yoshino."
"This..." Asatake Yoshino once again didn't know what to say.
"Then it's settled." He said to Wu Anqing in a final tone, "I hope you two can get along well."
