The Crest of Shiji Pharmaceuticals

'Never mind, I'll go with you.'

Changing the subject, Scribe said that he wanted to go with Hyakuya Ryufu.

The change was so swift that the other party didn't even have time to react.

"By the way, could you please have someone bring over the invitation from Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals for me?"

"Oh, it's nothing, no problem."

Nodding, Hyakuya Ryufu agreed.

At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder if the information given to him by the previous patriarch was wrong.

"Could it be that this meeting was actually quite fun?"

After sending someone to Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals to retrieve the invitation, Hyakuya Ryufu and Scribe, under the protection of a group of warriors, set off for the meeting place.

Among the guards, the Scribe also spotted two familiar figures.

"You two have come too, Hyakuya Shitsu, Hyakuya Inowa."

"As soon as I heard that the Mister Scribe and the clan chief were going to attend a meeting, I volunteered."

He patted his chest, Hyakuya Shitsu face seemingly filled with the words "Leave it to me with confidence."

A few days ago, when he told the clan chief that he wanted to retire and no longer be a warrior, the chief quickly agreed.

Hyakuya Ryufu then stated that he would arrange for him to work in a position related to imported goods as soon as possible.

Not only that, the clan leader, who had previously ignored him, actually patted him on the shoulder and told him to work hard and contribute to the clan.

Hyakuya Shitsu almost jumped up excitedly, wanting to hug the clan leader and kiss him.

Of course, he was also very aware that this was all thanks to the Scribe.

Without the Scribe saying a few words to him, he would never have gotten such a cushy job.

Logically speaking, having just completed a mission and about to move in a different direction, he could have rested at the mansion for a while.

But when he learned that the Scribe and Hyakuya Ryufu were going out, he immediately signed up and became one of the guards.

As for Hyakuya Inowa, he was simply taken out by Hyakuya Ryufu to broaden his horizons.

Of course, according to him, he was also very happy to become the Scribe's guard.

Along the way, Hyakuya Inowa would ask him questions from time to time.

Whether it's astronomy, geography, or even some obscure questions, the Scribe can explain them to him in the simplest language.

As a result, Hyakuya Inowa's gaze towards Scribe is now filled with respect and reverence.

Although the Scribe looked only a few years older than him, their knowledge and experience were on completely different levels.

Later on, Hyakuya Inowa even wanted to become the Scribe's disciple and learn from him.

Upon hearing this news, Hyakuya Ryufu was quite frightened.

Hyakuya Inowa is the future pillar of the Hyakuya Family, and even has the qualifications to become the clan leader.

If someone like that were to follow Scribe, it would be tantamount to delivering a heavy blow to the Hyakuya Family.

Unconvinced Hyakuya Inowa even sought out the Scribe, hoping he could persuade the clan leader.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Scribe rejected his request.

"I am just an ordinary person walking on the same path as you. No matter what, we will reach the same destination."

"Besides, the world is so big, and you can learn knowledge not only by staying by my side."

Hearing Scribe say this, Hyakuya Inowa He understood that Scribe had no intention of taking him as a disciple.

Watching his departing figure, Scribe shook his head.

Although Hyakuya Inowa's aptitude is considered quite good among ordinary people, and he doesn't require her to learn Breathing Technique from me.

However, this does not mean that the Scribe would be delighted to see someone and would casually accept others as disciples.

He had no interest in doing any of this until he figured out the truth.

Fortunately, Hyakuya Inowa did not bother Scribe again after that.

Finally, the group arrived at the meeting place.

Tokyo Metropolis.

Chapter 432 The Emblem of Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals

As one of the most bustling cities in the region, Tokyo Metropolis undoubtedly ranks among the top in terms of population flow.

Walking along the road, the Scribe could even see some blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners.

"The location is there, we're almost there."

Walking behind the Scribe, Hyakuya Shitsu glanced around for a moment, then pointed to a mansion not far away and said...

"Looks like we're one of the early ones."

Nodding, the Scribe walked in that direction.

Soon, they arrived at the main gate.

The two guards were two tall, strong men.

"Halt! This is private property. No unauthorized personnel allowed!"

He took two steps forward, but the strongmen blocked his way, and one of them said in a cold voice.

"His Majesty the Emperor is hosting a banquet for nobles here. We hope you will behave yourselves."

Faced with this situation, neither Scribe nor Hyakuya Ryufu spoke.

It wasn't that the two didn't know how to deal with it, but rather that the two guys in front of them weren't qualified for them to talk.

Their role was not simply to protect Hyakuya Shitsu.

"We are from the Hyakuya Family, and we have come to attend this 'Taisho Aristocratic Conference'."

Taking large strides forward, Hyakuya Shitsu looked at the strongman who was a head taller than her, but showed no fear on her face.

"Where is the family crest?"

Glancing at Hyakuya Shitsu, Li Shi said calmly.

"The Hyakuya Family is indeed on the list, but they need to provide proof of their identity."

As soon as he finished speaking, a badge appeared in front of him.

It is light purple all over, and the front is covered with dense teardrop-shaped engravings.

Not only Hyakuya Shitsu, but all the other guards also took out their clan emblems from their pockets.

As for Hyakuya Ryufu, his family crest was embroidered on his clothes.

The Scribe, on the other hand, simply didn't bring such a thing.

After all, the badge of Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals was indeed a bit unacceptable to him.

"Who is that guy?"

The strongman gestured toward the Scribe and continued to ask.

"I already know your identities, but that kid doesn't have a clan crest."

"That's our friend; his badge and invitation will arrive soon."

With a smile, Hyakuya Ryufu spoke.

"Or, why don't you let us in to rest for a bit? I can vouch for that."

"Since Hyakuya Clan Head has said so..."

Although Li Shi did not recognize Hyakuya Ryufu, he could still deduce the other party's identity.

Scribe and Hyakuya Ryufu stood together, with the latter even slightly lagging behind by half a body length.

If someone like that comes out to act as a guarantor, and you still don't let them through, you're just asking for trouble.

"Please come in. The rest area is on the right, and the meeting place is on the left."

"Step aside," the strongman said respectfully.

"Welcome to both of you."

Hyakuya Shitsu and the others did not point out the errors in Li Shi's words.

After all, they weren't really part of the meeting attendees; they were just there to accompany the meeting.

Once the meeting officially began, only the Scribe and Hyakuya Ryufu were allowed to enter the main meeting room; the others had to wait outside.

After the Scribe and others went inside, many more people arrived one after another.

"Are you from Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals?"

Looking at the girl in front of him, the strongman said with some curiosity.

"You look so young, you don't seem like someone who's here for a meeting."

"I am not."

The girl shook her head and spoke.

My husband has already gone in with Hyakuya Clan Head.

"Hyakuya Clan Head?"

Upon hearing the girl's words, the strongman couldn't help but think of the man who looked to be only about twenty years old.

"Is he the important figure sent by Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals?"

A bead of cold sweat appeared on the strongman's forehead, and his body stiffened. It took him a while to react.

"Thank goodness, I didn't offend them too badly. After all, it was just official business. I don't think such a big shot would cause me any trouble."

He patted his chest, a look of lingering fear on his face.

"Excuse me, may we go in now?"

The girl frowned, seemingly a little anxious.

"Of course, of course, please come in."

They quickly made way, and the strongmen realized they could go in.

Led by the people from Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals, the girl quickly arrived at the resting place.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Scribe being harassed by Hyakuya Inowa.

"Mister Scribe!"

With a hint of joy on her face, the girl took off running towards the Scribe.

"It's been so long, I've missed you so much."

Hearing someone call his name, Scribe turned around and smiled.

"Oh, it's Asatsuru. Did Tamayo send you?"

The girl before him was none other than Asatsuru, whom the Scribe had taken from the Soryu Dojo.

Although the time they were apart wasn't very long, he could clearly sense that the other person was somewhat different.

Her facial expressions became more varied, and her speech and demeanor were more like those of a young girl.

The effects of the repressive life spent living in the temple for many years are gradually disappearing.

"Yes."

Nodding obediently, Asatsuru even stuck out her little tongue at Scribe.

"Ms. Tamayo originally wanted to come by herself, but after receiving the news, she asked me to bring the invitation and badge to you, sir."

"Miss Tamayo also said that the gentleman would actually take on tasks for her. Does that make you feel uncomfortable?"

With an awkward laugh, Scribe coughed twice and said in a serious tone.

"What are you talking about? I am a very responsible person. I would spend a hundred years on one thing."
