Chapter 159 Good impression
"How about it, do you want to join us?"
Lingyin asked Jiang Xun.
"I can't perform, so I won't go on stage."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xun decisively refused. He has always been the one who likes to watch the fun, but if he was asked to go up and perform, he really didn't know what to perform for a moment. He couldn't just perform a one-punch knockout performance of Watanabe Lao Deng, right?
"Oh, is that so? That's okay!"
Although Jiang Xun did not agree, fortunately many people had prepared programs this time, and Jiang Xun's participation was just icing on the cake and would not have much impact.
"What about you? Judging from your appearance, you should have something to show for yourself, right?"
"Of course, but I can't tell you now. You will know when the time comes!"
The little girl explained mysteriously, not knowing that Jiang Xun had already guessed her thoughts. However, in order not to destroy her expectations for the event, Jiang Xun did not expose her.
"Then I'll wait and see."
After the conversation ended, Lingyin also left, and Jiang Xun continued to observe the surrounding environment.
Due to the special nature of the activity, people's behavior was also different from usual, and it was impossible to judge whether these behaviors were abnormal for a while. Jiang Xun could only focus most of his attention on the stone wall.
A few days passed by unknowingly, and he didn't notice anything unusual, but he didn't care about it. He was just wondering why the original body still didn't contact him.
Even though Jiang Xun took the initiative to report the situation, he still did not receive a response, which made him feel a little abnormal, but he still did not think much about it. Perhaps the other party was just dealing with things and did not have the time to reply to him.
According to the plan, the event would be held tonight. At this time, a simple stage had already been built in the stone wall space, specifically for performers to show their talents.
There was also a row of space around the stage. If he guessed correctly, this should be used for people to set up stalls. The only difference from the past was that the merchandise for this event was free and no money was required as usual.
Looking at this scene, it does look a bit like a fireworks festival. Although it is not possible to be as grand as the real thing, it can at least soothe people's hearts and bring them brief happiness, which is enough.
Jiang Xun's eyes kept wandering among the crowd, and suddenly he noticed a commotion in the crowd. After noticing this, many people put down what they were doing and ran directly over there.
When Jiang Xun saw this scene, he also looked over curiously. With his eyesight, although the distance was far, he could see clearly what was happening. He saw a witch in a witch's costume being surrounded by people.
And that priestess was none other than Kitsusai-miya.
Hu Zhaigong greeted everyone with a smile on his face. Although he had prepared himself mentally before coming here, he was still shocked by the scene in front of him when he really got here.
Almost everyone who approached her had something to say, some to welcome her, some to express gratitude, and most of them were thanking her for her help, but there was still an inappropriate voice.
"Master Palace Administrator, when can we go out?"
After these words were spoken, the originally noisy scene became much quieter.
One person's voice also inspired others, and several people asked Hu Zhaigong one after another. The voices were not loud, but they could reach people's ears. Hu Zhaigong could choose not to answer, but she knew that this question was what these people were most concerned about.
Even though many people don't express it, they still desperately want to return to their original homes instead of living in this limited space.
"Everyone, please be quiet."
Hu Zhaigong spoke, her voice was not loud, but very effective. After hearing it, everyone stopped being restless and their eyes were focused on Hu Zhaigong, waiting for her to speak.
Kitsaigong took a deep breath and spoke casually.
"I am working hard to resolve this sudden disaster, but it is not that simple. Please rest assured, I promised the general that I would protect Inazuma. Please give me some more time."
After saying this, Huzaigong bowed slightly to the people.
Hu Zhaigong's words were obviously effective. As soon as he finished speaking, he was recognized by almost everyone. The few people who took the lead in asking questions also took the initiative to apologize. Everything that happened during this period was seen by Jiang Xun.
If something is attached to you, even a free and unfettered big monster will be restricted by it.
Jiang Xun couldn't understand these people who were cared about by the people. They seemed glorious on the surface, but had to consider many things in private. However, he respected such people very much, whether it was Zhongli or Huzhaigong.
"Jiang Xun, why are you still sitting here?"
Lingyin appeared behind Jiang Xun again, holding some gadgets in her hands.
“I feel quite comfortable sitting here.”
"Come on, that's the Palace Master, do you really not want to talk to her?"
Lingyin seemed a little surprised at Jiang Xun's bad attitude. You know, among all the young men she knew, there was no one who didn't admire Husai Palace, but Jiang Xun was so calm.
"No, I like quietness."
Being brought back was not part of his plan in the first place. He did not want to have too much contact with Kitsai Palace, and all previous contacts were not initiated by him.
"You are really weird..."
Jiang Xun ignored Ling Yin's complaints and asked, "Don't just talk about me, why don't you go?"
"Me? I like Lord Gongsi, but I can see that Lord Gongsi is very tired and doesn't want to cause any more trouble."
Lingyin said with some disappointment.
Jiang Xun was somewhat surprised at the girl's observation skills. Jiang Xun also noticed Hu Zhaigong's current state. Although he had a smile on his face, he was not actually like that.
Just as Lingyin said, Kitsusai Palace's current state is definitely not as calm as she appears now. It seems that she has been busy these days, but he doesn't know what exactly she is doing.
"Okay, we've been looking forward to this event for so long, so don't let these things affect our mood. I believe there will be opportunities after everything is over."
Jiang Xun comforted.
"You're right, can you go with me then?"
There was a hint of anticipation in Lingyin's voice at this moment.
Jiang Xun was stunned by the girl's words, and then he continued to look at the crowd.
He thought for a while before speaking.
"I don't know, maybe yes, maybe no."
The girl felt that Jiang Xun was rejecting her in a tactful way, and she couldn't help feeling a little bitter.
But soon, she herself was shocked by this inexplicable emotion.
What's wrong with me? Isn't it normal to be rejected? Why is it different only with Jiang Xun?
She has always been a serious person, not only to others, but also to herself.
She asked herself and found that she had an inexplicable liking for him since the first day she met him, and after the trip to the woods a few days ago, this liking seemed to have taken a step further.
Such reality surprised even her.
