When the two warriors saw the gold in their hands, their eyes turned blue.
Although they served the nobles, all they could get in that era was food and clothing and a little money. After all, in this era it is already difficult for ordinary people to have enough food.
But the young man in front of me—no, this fat sheep in front of me actually offered two pieces of gold. What does this mean? It's enough to cover a family's expenses for several years.
"Ahem!" The two warriors looked at each other, put the gold in their arms without leaving a trace, and then said lightly, "Stand here and don't move. I will go back and inform the young lady. If the young lady is willing to see you, I will take you in."
As the ancients said, money can communicate with ghosts, and it can also drive away gods. The ancients did not deceive me.
"Pretend to be more realistic! Don't smile like an idiot! Cry and act more pitiful so that you can arouse other people's sympathy." Yamabuki said to Saito Furoufushi.
Saito Furoufushi whispered, "I have never known what crying is since I was born! I only know how to laugh! You asked me to dress like this, do you think I am willing?"
Yamabuki sighed. Why are these teammates so difficult to lead? The world of martial arts is not just about fighting and killing; sometimes you also need to rely on your acting skills.
Yamabuki extended his hand and said to Saito Furoufushi, "By the way, I picked up something interesting when I came here just now. Can you see what it is?"
Saito Furoufushi put his head forward without any preparation, and Yamabuki suddenly opened his five fingers, and the red chili powder directly smeared on Saito Furoufushi's face.
"Ahhh! Eyes! My eyes!"
"Sister! What's wrong with you, sister? Cheer up! When will the eldest lady come out? You see, my sister is in so much pain, she's almost dying!" Yamabuki hugged Saito Furoufushi, who was in tears.
"Just wait and see how I'm going to kill you when I get back from this mission!" Saito Furoufushi wiped the chili powder from his eyes with his hands while squeezing out the words from between his teeth.
The warrior did not see the scene where Yamabuki sprinkled chili powder. He only saw the girl suddenly covering her face with tears and sobbing in pain. He thought that the girl's illness had flared up, and her face was full of emotion.
"It's not easy to survive in this world!"
At this moment, the warrior who had gone to report came back: "We have already asked the young lady, and she agrees that you can go for treatment. Come with me!"
Yamabuki raised his eyebrows and said, "I succeeded. I'm so smart!"
In this way, Saito Furoufushi and Yamabuki entered the interior of the mansion and finally saw the legendary eldest lady.
The moment he saw this young lady, Yamabuki's eyes lit up. This young lady was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with bright eyes, white teeth, skin as white as snow, regular and delicate features, and a slender figure. She was wearing a heavy twelve-piece kimono, which showed her elegance and grace.
This is the template of a lady from a noble family. Look at the one before! That is simply a negative example!
After seeing Yamabuki and Saito Furoufushi, the young lady did not immediately come to treat Saito Furoufushi's "injury," but asked indifferently, "You all understand the rules here, right?"
Rule? Yamabuki immediately thought of the box of jewelry and presented the box of gold jewelry with both hands. It was not his own money anyway, so he would not feel bad about spending it in any way he wanted.
The maid next to her opened the box and saw the pearls, gems and gold inside. The young lady nodded with satisfaction and signaled her servant to take the box away.
"Is this the girl who is haunted by evil spirits? Let me see... There is no spirit in her body. She is just sick. You shouldn't come to me. You should go find a doctor. Get out!" The eldest lady said proudly.
Yamabuki's heart was slightly moved. He knew that Saito Furoufushi was not haunted by evil spirits. Of course, what evil spirit would dare to haunt a shinigami? Or the captain of the Gotei 13? Even the process of salvation was omitted.
And this young lady could tell at a glance that Saito Furoufushi was not haunted by evil spirits, which meant that she still had some ability, at least she could see spirits directly.
"Wait a minute? Is that the end of it? I spent so much money..." said Yamabuki.
"That's your problem. Show him out!" The eldest lady turned around without looking back.
Yamabuki suddenly felt like he had been tricked! I lost a box of jewelry for no apparent reason.
"Well, you..." Yamabuki wanted to say something to get in touch with the other party, but the eldest lady turned around coldly and said, "Don't be ungrateful. I've already told you that this woman is not possessed by an evil spirit, she is just sick. Leave my mansion immediately. Butler, show her away!"
The butler next to him made a gesture of invitation.
The expression on Yamabuki's face darkened: "What if I don't leave?"
The eldest lady suddenly turned around, and a Heilig Pfeil appeared out of thin air in her hand. She bent the bow and shot an arrow, which hit him in front of her.
The expressions of Yamabuki and Saito Furoufushi froze instantly.
Heilig Pfeil? Quincy!!!
But it was only for a brief moment, and an expression of "I see" appeared on Yamabuki's face.
"Who was it? It turned out to be a Quincy from the west. It's really a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple." Yamabuki stretched out his hand, and the same Heilig Pfeil appeared in his hand: "Don't be angry, we are the same kind."
This time it was the young lady's turn to be surprised!
"Bow? So... ahem, everyone step back!" The eldest lady gave an order, and all the servants nearby stepped back.
"Are you a Quincy too? Why haven't I seen you before?" the eldest lady asked curiously.
"I haven't seen you either! The Quincies are obviously from the West, why do you have an oriental face?" asked Yamabuki.
After the eldest lady discovered that Yamabuki was of the same kind as herself, she slowly put down her guard: "My mother came from the far west, and my father is a local. I also recently awakened this power and was summoned by His Majesty."
Your Majesty? Yhwach!
"What about you? I see that you also have an oriental face. Is your situation the same as mine?" asked the eldest lady.
"Hehe, we can talk about this later. I came here with the captain, but later I got separated from everyone because of a mission. Can you tell me... in which direction His Majesty's palace is so that I can go to pay homage to His Majesty?" asked Yamabuki.
The eldest lady had already let down her guard against him and was picking up the teacup to drink tea, but when she heard this question, her eyes suddenly became sharp, and she stopped when the cup was about to reach her mouth.
"You are not a Quincy, who are you?"
