What Was Going On Here? / History Forbidden from Study

However, all he knew was how to lead guests to different meeting rooms.

Apart from that, they knew almost nothing else.

Finally, led by the waiter, the Scribe arrived at an extremely luxurious room.

"Please come in, several officials are already waiting for you inside."

With that, the waiter left.

Scribe stood at the door for a while, seemingly lost in thought.

Finally, he took a few steps forward and pushed open the door.

Chapter 511 What's going on?

The first thing that catches the eye is a huge calligraphy copybook.

"Family is the bond, and rules are the radius."

The calligraphy copybook itself is nothing special, and the brushstrokes are nothing unique.

The only thing that intrigued the Scribe was why the calligraphy copybook was placed in such a place.

Since this is a reception room, the purpose of placing it here is to make it visible to guests.

Is it implying something?

After some thought, the Scribe, still unsure of what to do, continued walking inside.

After walking through a long, narrow corridor, we finally entered the reception room.

The room's decor is far more luxurious than the room where Scribe met Dichai when they were in the Entertainment District.

It's hard to imagine that the Shinri Family would renovate a reception room like this.

"Mister Scribe, welcome."

Two figures were sitting on the sofa in the reception room.

Upon noticing their arrival, one of them immediately stood up and stepped forward, speaking respectfully.

I am Shinri Kōjin, do you remember me?

Nodding, Scribe had a certain impression of the young man from the Shinri Family whom she had met on the Entertainment District.

"Are you injured?"

After glancing at the other person, he noticed that there seemed to be bandages wrapped around the person's clothes.

Although her complexion was good, it was slightly pale.

He looked like a patient who had just recovered from a long illness.

"I got injured during training a while ago, please excuse the injury."

Without saying a word, Scribe simply gave him a strange look.

"Shinri Ichijou."

He stood up, nodded, glanced at her, and then fell silent.

He was someone the Scribe met in the Entertainment District. At that time, he was the leader of the Shinri Family and was Guangren's senior.

Yi Jing's presence here was at his own request, coupled with the clan leader's arrangement.

It's much better to have two people you've met before greet you than to have other members of the Shinri Family come.

"That's just how Mr. Jing is, Mister Scribe, please don't mind him too much."

Seeing Shinri Ichijou, Hikaru's face also showed a helpless smile.

"It's nothing, don't worry about it."

Having lived for so long, the Scribe has seen countless people.

There are quite a few people like Shinri Ichijou among them.

As long as the other party doesn't interfere with him, the Scribe generally doesn't say much.

"You give me a different feeling than before."

"Is that true? Perhaps it was that encounter that helped me grow."

Guangren's answer was very clever; he skillfully avoided the question while also complimenting Scribe.

After glancing at him, the Scribe continued.

Are there only the two of you?

"The clan chief is very busy and will be here in a while. Please wait a moment."

At this point, not only Guangren, but even Yijing looked a little embarrassed.

Despite the fact that a distinguished guest was visiting, Shinri Keito insisted on arriving late at this crucial moment.

"It's alright, we can chat for a while first."

Without continuing to pay attention to Shinri Keito's movements, the Scribe sat down on one side of the sofa.

"Speaking of which, I have long admired your Shinri Family, especially the patriarchs of each generation, who were all exceptional individuals."

"You flatter me."

"No, no, no, I have admired your clan leaders for many generations."

With a wave of his hand, the Scribe appropriately revealed a hint of admiration on his face.

"As a member of the Shinri Family, can you tell me about it?"

"Um, well, I don't know which generation of clan leader you would like to hear about."

"Shinri Masato, do you know him?"

Upon hearing this, not only Shinri Kōjin, but also Shinri Ichijou turned their gazes toward him.

While the two of them had temporarily calmed the Scribe down, Shinri Keito pushed open the door again.

"The Scribe has arrived."

"?"

The brain food inside the glass container slowly opened its eyes, a hint of surprise in its pupils.

"Scribe, are you sure it's him?"

"I have no reason to joke about this with you."

"His purpose in coming here was something I had a younger member of the family invite him to."

Walking up to the container, Huiren spoke calmly.

"I really want to get to know this famous Scribe up close and find out what kind of person he is."

"In some ways, he can hardly be considered human."

"Now is not the time for you to sigh. Is there anything you need me to do?"

Waving its tentacles, the brain-eating creature gestured for him to calm down.

He slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he shook his head.

"There is no such step in my plan. You can arrange it yourself."

"Okay, I'll come find you after he leaves."

"Remember, don't give yourself away."

Shinri Keito frowned, as if to say, "Do I really need you to remind me of this?"

Watching him leave, a hint of doubt and coldness flashed in Brain Food's eyes.

As his current partner, Shinri Keito naturally knew about part of the plan.

Inviting the Scribe, who is the target of the hunt, to the Shinri Family is clearly not the right thing to do.

Given this, what was Shinri Keito's purpose in taking this action?

"Shinri Keito, what are you thinking about?"

He muttered something under his breath, then closed his eyes again.

Just in case, there are some things he needs his clones to do.

"Number 009, have you found the guy I asked you to contact before?"

"Great, find a way to get in touch with them."

"Just say that I have a way to ruin the Scribe's reputation."

"What's their name? Doma?"

After leaving the room, Shinri Keito tidied his clothes and hair a little.

After spraying himself with perfume he had brought from overseas, he looked at himself in the mirror.

Only after confirming that there was nothing suspicious about him did he feel at ease to leave.

Upon arriving outside the reception room, Huiren took a deep breath and pushed open the door to enter.

"Sorry I'm late."

With a hint of apology on his face, he mentally prepared various responses.

But what he saw next left Huiren speechless.

There sat Yi Jing, who usually had a blank expression and rarely spoke, sitting next to Scribe and talking to him excitedly.

His face flushed red, he danced with joy, and a hint of delight filled his eyes.

"To be honest, the Shinri Family had a guild leader named Shinri Moku. Do you know what strange quirks he had?"

"He likes to eat trees, haha."

"There were rumors at the time that someone had seen the Wood Clan Chief eating a tree that looked like a human. Isn't that strange?"

The Scribe sat to the side with a faint smile, nodding occasionally to indicate that he was listening.

He squinted slightly, clearly satisfied with what Yi Jing had said.

His face twitched violently; Shinri Keito never expected such a scene.

As for Shinri Kōjin, he has been completely reduced to a tool.

He only takes the stage when the Scribe or Yijing has almost finished their tea.

"What... what's going on?!"

Chapter 512 History That Is Forbidden to Be Researched

As the clan leader, he naturally knew Shinri Ichijou, and was even quite familiar with him.

Even so, Shinri Keito never expected that Shinri Ichijou would have such a side to him.

The original plan was to have Yi Jing bring down the barriers and ensure that Guang Ren wouldn't be outdone in terms of presence.

If he says anything wrong, Yijing can point it out in time.

But now it seems that the eye that the beneficiary had placed high hopes on has become the breakthrough point.

Instead of stopping Mitsuhito from saying anything he shouldn't have, he himself revealed some of the Shinri Family's secrets.

Just like the previously mentioned "Shinri Moku," the vast majority of people in the family were unaware of this matter.

This matter, which should have been lost to history, was now told to Scribe by Yijing.

A burning sensation spread across his face, and Huiren felt as if his family was about to be utterly disgraced by Yijing.

He coughed, trying to get their attention.

The Scribe, who was "listening to the lesson," noticed Huiren's arrival and pointed.

Unexpectedly, Yiqing, caught up in the excitement of the story, grabbed the Scribe's hand and slammed it onto the table.

"Let me tell you another secret that others don't know, it's about the clan Shinri Chū."
