The young lady in front of him completely shattered Yamabuki's fantasy of being a "princess."
Yes, the nutrition of Japanese people in this era, even the nobles, was probably not as good as that of later generations.
If you want to be tall, strong, fair-skinned and beautiful, genes are one aspect, but high-protein food is also very important.
What's more, many of Japan's ancient nobles had close relatives, cough cough, descendants of which, so it is really difficult to find a good-looking young lady.
Saito Furoufushi touched Yamabuki's head and soothed the child's psychological trauma.
"Okay, don't be sad here. Don't forget what we are here for." Saito Furoufushi said.
Yamabuki wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "From now on I will never believe in fairy tales again. All those beautiful princesses are lies."
"Yes! We are here to find the Quincy. By the way, that guy..." Yamabuki pointed at the middle-aged noble: "Have you seen a group of people wearing white robes? Their expressions are so repulsive? Also, they don't look like locals. They look more like they are from the West. Do you have any impression of these people?"
The middle-aged noble thought for a moment and shook his head: "Masters, I have never seen these people you are talking about."
That's right, how can I be so lucky? I found a clue right after I came to this world?
Just as Yamabuki was about to leave, Yun Ji came over shyly and said, "Sir, you saved me, and I want to marry you. How about we have our wedding night tonight?"
"Don't come over here, monster!!!" Yamabuki was so scared that he drew his zanpakuto.
He thought that he did not judge people by appearance, but the appearance of the woman in front of him... perhaps only Yamashita Usuo, Yamatake Chiyo's former "fiancé," could be compared to her.
Moreover, it was hard for Yamabuki not to be sure that the other party was coveting his beauty.
Saito Furoufushi lay on the ground laughing heartily until his stomach hurt.
"Yamabuki, he is sincere, why don't you just give in? You can even become a live-in son-in-law, and you will never have to worry about food and clothing from now on." Saito Furoufushi was just there to watch the fun and was not afraid of any trouble.
Yamabuki glared at her and said, "When you go on a blind date in the future, I will introduce you to someone who is uglier than Second Brother."
"Hehe, I'm a gentleman. How can I force an innocent girl to do unspeakable things to me at this time? Let's stop here with this question. Since you didn't see those people, let's go and don't disturb them here." Yamabuki said.
Now that the person has been rescued and the money has been taken, there is no point in staying here any longer. We might as well get down to business.
Watching the two gentlemen leave, the middle-aged noble finally breathed a sigh of relief. This could be considered a blessing in disguise. After all, his daughter had recovered.
Just when he thought that Yamabuki and Saito Furoufushi had left, Yamabuki suddenly came back and said, "I forgot to ask you, which exorcist are you going to look for with all this gold, silver and jewelry? He's so famous!"
The middle-aged nobleman said hurriedly, "I only heard that he was an exorcist from outside and had just arrived in Kyoto recently. It is said that this exorcist is not only very powerful but also charges a lot of money, so I brought these gold, silver and jewelry..."
"An exorcist from outside?" Yamabuki pondered for a moment and said, "Tell us the location of the exorcist, and we'll go take a look."
The middle-aged noble hurriedly told Yamabuki the exorcist's residence.
After Yamabuki recorded the information, he left with Saito Furoufushi.
"You don't really want to verify whether there are monsters in this world, do you? I can tell you very clearly that there are none. Most of the so-called exorcists are just humans with relatively strong spiritual powers. They can see spirits and fight against the vengeful spirits. Even if they just put themselves in front of them, they can scare the shit out of these people." Saito Furoufushi kept chattering.
Yamabuki hooked his finger at Saito Furoufushi and asked her to come over. Saito Furoufushi came over with a curious look on his face but was hit hard on the head.
"Can't you grasp the key point? The key point is not the exorcist. The key point is that this exorcist is an outsider. Did you hear that he is an outsider? According to the intelligence, those Quincies are also outsiders..." said Yamabuki.
Saito Furoufushi asked in a slightly suspicious tone, "So you suspect that the exorcist mentioned by the noble is related to the Quincy we are looking for! It can't be such a coincidence!"
"Since we don't have any clues right now, why not go over and take a look?" said Yamabuki.
In fact, he also had the mentality of a blind cat catching a dead mouse. He didn't know who the other party was. Anyway, since he was already here, he might as well go and take a look.
"But there must be a reason for visiting, just like someone is possessed by evil spirits..." Yamabuki stared at Saito Furoufushi with a bad tone.
"Don't look at me! What kind of evil spirit dares to trouble me?" Saito Furoufushi said hurriedly.
Yamabuki showed a devilish smile on his face: "Me!"
Saito Furoufushi already sensed that something was wrong and turned to run but was pulled back by Yamabuki: "This time, I'll ask you to play the role of the evil, innocent girl who is haunted by the vengeful spirit of a lecherous middle-aged uncle!"
"Get out of here! You're the one being haunted by the ghost of a lecherous middle-aged man!"
"In that case, let's use the most primitive method to decide the outcome! Let's have a fight!" In terms of fighting ability, no one in the entire Gotei 13 except the Captain-Commander can be his opponent.
Saito Furoufushi finally reluctantly played the role of the possessed girl.
Yamabuki looked at the clear sky and swore to the dark clouds that this was definitely not a personal vendetta.
In this way, the two of them came to the residence of the legendary exorcist.
What is unexpected is that this legendary exorcist is actually a lady from a wealthy family.
As soon as the word "lady of noble family" was mentioned, Yamabuki felt that he had a psychological trauma. The oppressive feeling from Yun Ji before was really too strong, and he still felt scared when he thought about it now.
The two men used the money they had robbed to buy a nice set of clothes, and at least they looked like aristocrats.
Then visit in person.
This was a very lavish mansion. Two samurai holding naginatas were guarding the door. When they saw someone coming, they crossed their swords to block the way: "Stop! Do you know where this is? Go back quickly!"
Yamabuki said sincerely, "I heard that your eldest daughter can exorcise demons and cure diseases. My sister is haunted by an evil spirit. I came to ask your eldest daughter to cure my sister. Please be lenient!"
As he spoke, he stuffed a piece of gold into each of the two warriors' hands.
