Dragon Clan, Lu Mingfei wants to reach a perfect ending

In the mountains outside Tokyo, countless raindrops hit the roof of the shrine, then bounced around the staggered wooden structure and finally gathered on the eaves.

The rain water gathered on the eaves and slid down the steps in thin lines, splashing layers of water. The century-old cherry trees in the garden shed a sad and beautiful cherry snow in the rain.

Men dressed in black, with short swords in white sheaths at their waists, walked past the burnt torii gate in unison, like pilgrims walking up steps covered with cherry blossom petals.

Afterwards, they stopped at the vermilion stone wall in front of the main shrine, bowed deeply three times, and then separated into two teams, standing on both sides waiting for a more distinguished person to come.

The next people to enter the shrine were seven people holding paper umbrellas. They were all wearing formal kimonos. The six people walking behind had anxious and confused expressions, which made them seem a little hurried.

But even so, the seven people holding paper umbrellas stopped in front of the vermilion stone wall and bowed deeply and respectfully in front of the stone wall like the men before them.

Masamune Tachibana looked at the vermilion stone wall, holding three burning incense sticks in his hands. The smoke from the burning incense sticks floated up layer by layer and finally dissipated in the rain and fog outside the umbrella.

"These are troubled times." He then gently inserted the incense stick in his hand into the stone wall.

"Head, you called us here so urgently. Did something important happen?" Sakurai Nanami looked at Tachibana Masamune and asked her question.

The heads of other families also turned their eyes here at this time. This was the question they wanted to ask, why the head of the family, Tachibana Masamune, called them here so eagerly.

Tachibana Masamune looked at the misty rain outside the umbrella, and it was unclear whether he was happy or sad in his old eyes. "The old emperor has returned from history, and what will be the future of the Eight Snake Families?"

He answered the heads of each family, but this vague answer made these heads even more confused. What did the emperor of the past mean?

Just when Sakurai Nanami wanted to continue asking, Tachibana Masamune walked forward with a paper umbrella and entered the main hall. Seeing this, the other family heads did not stop and entered the main hall one after another.

After them, the other people from the Snake Eight Families poured into the shrine, but without exception, they all stopped in front of the stone wall and bowed deeply with respect, and then placed their umbrellas in front of the main hall.

A minute later, the densely packed black umbrellas looked like a group of crows with nowhere to go home, appearing even more desolate in the cold rain.

Hundreds of men and women in black knelt in their seats, looking respectfully at the head of the Snake Eight Families, Tachibana Masamune, who was kneeling in front of them.

The black-clad secretary handed a list of all the people present to Tachibana Masamune, "...There are 58 people outside who are unable to return due to time constraints. There are now a total of 389 people present."

"Mr. Masamune, please take a look."

Tachibana Masamune knelt in the highest position in the center. He scanned all the people present one by one, and then looked at the only empty seat belonging to the heads of the eight families.

"Crow, Yaksha, notify Chisheng to come over. Today's matter is very important." Tachibana Masamune did not ask where Minamoto Chisheng was. He knew Minamoto Chisheng's character and he did not like such a grand family meeting.

So at this moment he should be alone in some small house doing what he likes, but today's matter is very important and urgent, so all the heads of the eight families must be present.

Crow and Yaksha, who were kneeling in the back row, hurriedly stepped forward. Since the head of the family did not ask the reason, they replied directly, "Yaksha and I will go inform the young master right away."

After Crow and Yasha left, Tachibana Masamune looked at the people kneeling below the stage and said, "I know everyone is wondering why I would suddenly convene such a grand family meeting, and the time requirement is so urgent."

"But please don't worry, this is not a bad thing. I will explain it to you in detail when Zhisheng comes back."

Although everyone wanted to know, after hearing what the head of the family said, they could only suppress their curiosity and answered in unison, "Yes."

Big raindrops shattered against the glass. Looking down from the mountain where the shrine was located, the tall buildings of Tokyo looked hazy in the rain like a mirage.

Minamoto Chisei was sitting at the window of the worship hall behind the main hall, quietly watching the misty drizzle.

Crow stumbled in and approached Yuan Zhisheng, "Young Master, the head of the family and the heads of the various families have already arrived and are waiting for you. If you don't go, they might spread some rumors again."

Yuan Zhisheng's eyes did not leave the window. After hearing what Crow said, he just nodded slightly, "I know, I'll go there later."

He did not like this kind of meeting, just like he did not like his current life, even though he was one of the eight supreme family heads, the future underworld overlord, or many more such titles.

But Yuan Zhisheng didn't like any of it. Sometimes he even felt a little disgusted when he was performing a mission. He hated the knife and hated himself for fighting for responsibility.

In the main hall, although Tachibana Masamune said that he wanted to wait for Minamoto no Chisei, the door outside the main hall was suddenly opened at this moment. Everyone thought that Minamoto no Chisei had arrived, but the figure standing outside the door was so unfamiliar.

It looked like he was not holding an umbrella, because his whole body was wet, and his wet clothes stuck to his body, revealing his powerful muscular lines.

"Sorry, I'm late." Uesugi Yue stood at the door, his bright golden eyes scanning the people inside.
