What? The wife of Daoxiang Zhenyuan, Yamaguchi Kumiko, actually has some connection with Xiao Yun?
After hearing Daoxiang Zhenyuan's words, Long Yan couldn't help but be taken aback, staring at Xiao Yun as if he were a monster. This guy is just too bizarre; it's one thing to have a connection with Inaka Hiraiko, but how could he even be related to her mother...
At that moment, while Long Yan was filled with curiosity, Xiao Yun felt completely confused. He didn't understand the meaning behind Daoxiang Zhenyuan's words.
When did I establish any relationship with your wife, Yamaguchi Kumiko? Although I, Xiao, have high luck with women and attract them easily, I have never met your wife. We are worlds apart.
Mud Horse, this food is good, but you can't just say whatever comes to mind!
Just as Master Xiao wore a gloomy expression, Inaka Hiraiko quickly explained from the side: "Mr. Xiao, my mother is actually a descendant of Yang Guifei. What my father means is that my mother has the bloodline of Huaxia People, so you could say there is some connection!"
"Yes, Inaka Hiraiko is right!"
Daoxiang Zhenyuan nodded repeatedly and smiled: "My daughter truly deserves to be a top student from Harvard University; her explanation is quite fitting. Mr. Xiao, in our Yamaguchi Prefecture, many people are descendants of Yang Guifei!"
With this explanation, Xiao Yun couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief while also inwardly cursing. Damn, this Daoxiang Zhenyuan is really something; your earlier words nearly gave me a brain freeze!
You see, such statements are far too ambiguous and can easily lead to misunderstandings.
However, after hearing the explanation and clarification from this father-daughter duo, Xiao Yun chuckled lightly and nodded slightly. In fact, he had heard before that even the movie star Yamaguchi Momoe, who was incredibly popular in Island Nation years ago and was born in Tokyo, claimed to be originally from Yamaguchi Prefecture and a descendant of Yang Guifei. She even presented her family tree as evidence.
Yang Guifei holds an extremely high status in the hearts of Japanese people; they regard her as one of the three great beauties in the world: Cleopatra, Yang Guifei, and Ono no Komachi from the Heian period.
The people of Yamaguchi Prefecture even named their local rice brand "Dream of Yang Guifei." There is also a local specialty called "Yang Guifei Bread," which supposedly makes any woman who eats it more beautiful.
This shows just how sacred Yang Guifei is in the eyes of Island Nation people. Of course, whether those who claim to be descendants of Yang Guifei are telling the truth or not remains unverified.
But one thing Xiao Yun is very clear about is that when Yang Guifei traveled to Japan back then, she was welcomed into the imperial palace by the emperor as if she were the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara. With her courage and wisdom, she helped quell a palace coup in Island Nation. Along with Yang Guifei came two maids and her nephew Yang Huan, the son of Yang Guozhong.
Due to Yang Guifei's contributions in quelling the chaos, Yang Huan was granted Yamaguchi Prefecture as his fief by the emperor and was bestowed with the title of Huaxia Prince. It would be impossible for Yang Huan not to marry and have children upon arriving in Yamaguchi Prefecture; perhaps those who claim to be descendants of Yang Guifei are indeed descendants of Yang Huan.
According to Yamaguchi Momoe, long ago their family all had the surname Yang. Later on, for the sake of unifying local surnames in Island Nation, the Yang lineage had no choice but to adopt the surname Yamaguchi...
Without further ado.
As Daoxiang Zhenyuan brought Xiao Yun and Long Yan into the living room, he immediately arranged for someone to serve food and drinks.
Once everyone was seated, Daoxiang Zhenyuan personally poured a glass of wine for Xiao Yun and Long Yan, smiling as he said, "I heard from my daughter Inaka Hirako that Yunfeng-kun is here to travel in my Island Nation. I wonder where your next stop will be?"
Xiao Yun replied with a smile, "Tomorrow I plan to visit the tomb of Yang Guifei to pay my respects. For a Huaxia People visiting Yamaguchi Prefecture, it would be a regret not to see it."
Daoxiang Zhenyuan nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, that's right. However, I must warn you that it might not be very safe at the tomb these days. I will accompany you tomorrow!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun and Long Yan exchanged glances, thinking it was better to have him with them; he also did not want to cause trouble at Yang Guifei's tomb.
"Daoxiang Jun, why is it not safe at Yang Guifei's Tomb these days?" Xiao Yun asked, pretending to be confused after hearing Daoxiang Zhenyuan's words.
Daoxiang Zhenyuan sighed and said, "My daughter mentioned that you are somewhat familiar with Xiao Yun, and you know he has come to Japan and has been pursued by the Japanese Military. Inaka Hirako also told you that this Xiao Yun is the most captivating man she has ever met during her time in Huaxia. She asked me if I could use my connections to find him and provide protection. Unfortunately, when it comes to military matters, I truly have no power. However, I have learned that Xiao Yun came to Japan specifically to search for the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror, and naturally, he must first visit Yamaguchi Prefecture to pay respects at Yang Guifei's Tomb. Therefore, the military has secretly set up an ambush there!"
As he spoke, his eyes filled with affection as he glanced at his daughter and said, "Inaka Hirako, don't worry. Even if that Xiao Yun falls into the hands of the military, I will plead with the Prime Minister to spare his life so that you can meet him!"
"Thank you, Father!" Inaka Hiraiko choked up and bowed her head in gratitude.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yun felt a strong shock within; despite Inaka Hiraiko being married to someone else now, her feelings for him were genuine.
Even Long Yan, who sat nearby, was moved by Inaka Hiraiko's sincerity.
"Come on, let's drink!" Daoxiang Zhenyuan raised his glass towards Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun lifted his glass and drank it all in one go, smiling as he said, "Thank you, Daoxiang Jun!"
Daoxiang Zhenyuan smiled and said, "Yunfeng-kun, do you know why I am so happy to see you?"
With narrowed eyes, Xiao Yun looked at Daoxiang Zhenyuan and asked with a smile, "Why?"
Daoxiang Zhenyuan replied, "Because of my daughter Inaka Hirako. She called me this afternoon and said that you are the second most impressive man from Huaxia she has ever met in her life."
Damn,
Is this the reason?
Xiao Yun couldn't contain his excitement and turned his gaze to Inaka Hiraiko.
Perhaps it was because Long Yan was present; Inaka Hiraiko seemed a bit shy as she glanced at her, noticing that Long Yan appeared completely unconcerned. With a bashful smile, she said, "Mr. Xiao..."
She hesitated, her bashful demeanor making Master Xiao's heart race and his spirit flutter.
"Hehe,"
Then Daoxiang Zhenyuan said, "Yunfeng-kun, my daughter is quite the emotional person—well, I have some official business to attend to tonight and can't stay at home. You and your wife might as well stay at my place. I'll hurry back in the morning and accompany you directly to Yang Guifei's Tomb."
"Um..." Xiao Yun hesitated.
Once Daoxiang Zhenyuan left, it would just be Inaka Hiraiko and her mother in the house. It might be a bit inconvenient for him to be the only man staying there.
Daoxiang Zhenyuan seemed to sense his hesitation and smiled, "Yunfeng-kun, don't feel any psychological burden. Staying here is much safer and cleaner than a hotel. If you're not leaving in the next few days, just stay here. Consider this your home in Huaxia, okay?"
Xiao Yun glanced at Inaka Hiraiko's eager eyes and understood that if he really stayed here tonight, something would definitely happen during the night...
