496 A Tsundere Younger Sister Hongtan Lives in the Deepest Depth of the Lost Bamboo Forest
What kind of relationship does Huiyi have with Meihong? Why does Huiyi take protecting Meihong as her duty, and why Meihong, who doesn't like to stay with humans and monsters, is very close to Huiyi? These things have always been a mystery. Apart from them, no third party should know.
Firstly, Lin Luo was very curious about it, and secondly, he had nothing to do now, so during the time he was walking with Huiyin, the heart of gossip in his body was ablaze, and his eyes glanced at the teacher next to him from time to time, trying to find a clue.
"Why are you looking at me like that? It's very impolite." Huiyi frowned slightly, Lin Luo didn't deliberately hide her gaze, she could see it clearly, she hated rude people.
"No, I'm just wondering why you have such a good relationship with Meihong." Lin Luo said truthfully, Huiyin is a very rigid person and doesn't know how to adapt, but she is upright. To deal with this kind of person, speaking honestly is far more useful than lying. Of course, it will be troublesome if you make her unhappy.
Fortunately, Huiyin didn't resist talking about Meihong. In other words, she subconsciously regarded Lin Luo as Meihong's alternate boyfriend... oh no, she was an alternate friend, so in order for the pair of friends to get along better, there were some things that she had to talk about, such as what Meihong hated and what she liked. However, what she talked about was just some trivial matters in life, and she avoided talking about Lin Luo's issues.
Lin Luo didn't force it either. After all, it was just a sudden gossip. There was no need to get to the bottom of it. He was not a paparazzi, and it was pretty good to hear the interesting stories between the pair of "Lilies".
In this way, the two talked while walking. Of course, Lin Luo was basically listening to Huiyin. In addition to talking about Meihong, she would also talk about her situation in the back room of the temple. But when talking about her own affairs, her tone will turn into complaints, for example, because of her temper, she is always hitting a wall, and she is often said to be rigid and inflexible, and even the students don't understand her good intentions and so on... Anyway, she pours out bitterness, saying that life is over.
"Well, there's no need to be so pessimistic, the future will get better..." Lin Luo smiled wryly, and tried to comfort her. It seems that Huiyin was still under a lot of pressure when she was a teacher. "Maybe you can try and make the lecture a little more interesting, so that the students will listen carefully."
"How is this possible!" Huiyin immediately put on a straight face, and said a little angrily, "Knowledge is not something interesting, and it is impossible to learn knowledge through lectures that make people feel interesting!"
"……"how to say? Lin Luo thinks it's strange that she doesn't hit a wall with this bullish temper.
Probably because of too much pressure and eagerness to vent, or because of the influence of the preaching of the four seasons, Lin Luo fell into Huiyin's "knowledge imparting" for a long time, and the boring education made his ears callous, until he entered the darkest place in the depths of the bamboo forest... "The moonlight is much brighter than usual tonight, and the disturbance of monsters is inevitable. At night, the absolute road to death, there will be fools coming to this kind of place."
Before getting close, Lin Luo heard a slightly neutral voice coming from the darkness. The place where the sound came from could not be illuminated by the moonlight, but there were only two lights flickering faintly, but such light could not be seen clearly, on the contrary, it hindered the vision of the eyes even more.
When Lin Luo heard that voice, he activated his Eye of Reality. At this moment, he saw a girl standing up and sitting cross-legged on the ground with her knees up, her back resting on the bamboo behind her, her hands in her trouser pockets, and her eyes seemed to be casually looking at herself. It was impossible to tell whether it was hostility or friendliness. The two faintly flickering lights were her red eyes.
The girl has long white hair, and there are many bows tied in her hair... Maybe the bows are the style of Gensokyo. Almost everyone can tie them, some in their hair, some in their clothes, and some even in the gaps. I will not complain about this for the time being.
Of course, this girl is Lin Luo's target for this trip, Fujiwara Meihong. She is wearing a white shirt with a half-open collar and a pair of suspenders and flared trousers on her lower body. Although she is a girl, she doesn't seem to care about her attire at all. Not only does her clothes look a little dirty, but she also dresses casually, giving off the feeling of a bad girl on the street.
"Aren't you also in this place? Since you can come here as a human being, of course I can also come here as a human being." Lin Luo smiled lightly and walked up casually.
No hostility was felt, and Meihong didn't make a move, but her gaze shifted from Lin Luo to Huiyi, as if she was asking. Huiyi shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either. In fact, her answer was true. After all, she was completely ignorant of Lin Luo's identity and real purpose.
"Come to this kind of place on the night of the full moon, are you also sent by that guy?" Meihong looked at Lin Luo again, although she couldn't tell for sure, but based on her intuition and similar situations before, she could guess what was going on. No human being would be so idle as to go to the bamboo forest under the full moon to play, "What kind of courage test is this time?"
"No, no, it's not a test of courage this time. Although it was indeed that guy who asked me to come over, in fact I didn't have that idea." Lin Luo stopped a few meters before Mei Hong and smiled.
"Hmph!" Meihong snorted coldly, obviously a little upset in her tone, "That guy's charm is really great, to be fooled by ignorant fools again and again, but... in this ugly time of one-way traffic, your life can't go back to the bridge of return."
Having said that, Meihong has already stood up from the ground, her eyes showing a fighting spirit, and she rolled up her sleeves, as if she was going to fight hard.
Kaguya and Meihong are deadly rivals. On the one hand, Meihong's father was a certain prince who had courted Kaguya, but was humiliated by Kaguya with difficult problems, and even caused the downfall of the family. So since then, Meihong, who is still an ordinary person, has become hostile to Kaguya.
She hated Kaguya, and because of the relationship between Horai's medicine, Kaguya also wanted to get rid of her. The two were completely hostile, but it was a long time ago. It is difficult for others to tell what kind of relationship the two of them have now... After all, both of them live in the depths of the lost bamboo forest, and this is a very ambiguous topic.
As a matter of fact, Kaguya sends people to find Meihong's troubles from time to time, and Meihong will also go to Kaguya's troubles whenever she is free. Even when someone wants to entrust Meihong to escort humans to the eternal pavilion, she is obliged to accept it. No matter how you look at it, there is a feeling that the two love each other out of hatred.
"You two...can't fight!" Before Meihong started, Huiyin suddenly ran up with a serious face. Although she also knew that Lin Luo was sent by Hui Ye, she didn't have any hostility. She still hoped that the two could become friends. After all, ordinary people can't accept Meihong, and Meihong doesn't like monsters.
"I didn't want to fight, it's just that she suddenly became interested." Lin Luo spread his hands with an innocent look on his face.
"Hmph, since you are that guy's envoy, of course you have to..." Meihong made a fierce look, but before she finished speaking, Huiyi suddenly gave her a head hammer, knocking her into a mess, and then said with a guardian attitude, "Meihong, you are not allowed to fight!"
"Woo, what are you doing, the head hammer came all of a sudden..." Meihong rubbed her forehead with tears on her face. Although she is immortal, she still has the pain of ordinary people, and being hit by a horned head hammer still hurts.
"Children who are disobedient should be educated. Fighting is not something girls should do. Do you understand?"
"...Okay, okay, I don't want to fight him." Mei Hong was full of helplessness, Huiyin who became Bai Ze was very difficult to deal with, if she got angry, she would probably have a hole in her head.
"That's right." Huiyin nodded immediately, showing a satisfied smile, "Since everyone wants to be friends, let's eat hot pot together."
I'm not interested in being friends with humans, I'm still from that guy... Meihong secretly slandered, but she didn't dare to rebel in front of Bai Ze's Huiyin, and reluctantly sat back on the ground. With one hand resting on his chin, his elbow resting on his knee, the other leg trembled, seemingly impatiently.
Then, greeted by Huiyin, Lin Luo also sat down opposite Meihong, while Huiyin went to prepare hot pot. Although Meihong always regards the sky as the cover and the earth as the furnace, as her guardian, Huiyin still stores some necessities for daily life in the place where she lives. Of course, when leaving, Huiyin once again warned the two not to fight.
"You hate Huiye?" After Huiyin left, Lin Luo couldn't help asking seeing Meihong's lack of interest. After all, it is not an easy task to bring Meihong to Huiye, if she is not willing, it is basically hopeless.
"Of course, I hate that guy the most!" Meihong said without hesitation, "My current inconvenient body is all thanks to her, and she incites you guys to disgust me from time to time, irritating! There must be a limit to irritating people!"
"Well, I won't talk about the latter one, but you became what you are now because you killed people and snatched the medicine yourself, and stole the Penglai medicine. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with Hui Ye." Lin Luo smiled and said deliberately.
"Uh..." Meihong was taken aback for a moment. After thinking about it, it was indeed the case, but... her eyes widened, and she said unreasonably, "Nah, anyway, it's her fault for making that kind of medicine. I hate it!"
"..."
Well, sister Hongtan is being arrogant.
