Prince of Tennis: It's my system. My victory depends entirely on the host.

Chapter 157: The original novel and the follow-up to the film Ping Liu (4)

After watching the movie, Yanagi Renji met Byodoin Phoenix again in Byodoin Phoenix Hall in Kyoto. He didn't expect that Byodoin senior was actually the descendant of a priest.

The reason why Yanagi Renji came to Kyoto was because a strange power in his body destroyed his body and caused him to collapse.

Because of his health condition, his parents asked around and finally found out the address of Phoenix Hall from a temple abbot. They planned to take Yanagi Renji to see it.

This is the only way. Parents are always willing to run around for their children for that little bit of hope.

So, one weekend, Renji Yanagi and Genichirō Sanada took a day off and went to the Byodoin Phoenix Hall in Kyoto accompanied by their parents.

Because of the abbot's recommendation, the three of them arrived at the largest temple in Kyoto and were taken directly to the mansion behind the temple.

The person who led the way told Liu and his parents that the one who would help him resolve the strange energy in his body this time was their young master, a genius rarely seen in a century, whose power was extraordinary.

Yanagi Renji has heard the word "genius" too many times. For an atheist like him, accompanying his parents on this trip was just to give them peace of mind.

Then Yanagi Renji, who did not believe in gods, saw the Byodoin Phoenix wearing gorgeous priest costumes.

"I've heard about your situation. Do you mind if I explore the power in you?"

Donning the priest's attire and shaving his beard, Byodoin Phoenix changed his sloppy image in the training camp.

His already handsome appearance was fully displayed. Looking at Byodoin Temple like this, Yanagi Renji's mind flashed the scene of him hugging her tightly in his arms in the movie.

This made the usually calm Yanagi Renji's face feel a little hot, and two faint pink spots easily appeared on his ivory white skin.

"Don't mind, Byodoin-senpai, please feel free to do as you please!"

Yanagi Renji suppressed his shyness and pretended to be calm, but as Byodoin Temple got closer, his breathing became disordered.

"Relax!"

Byodoin Phoenix touched the tense back of the boy in front of him and gave him a reminder.

Yanagi Renji also realized that his condition was not right, and hurriedly thought about the training plan of the regular players in his mind to relieve his nervousness.

After a while, Yanagi Renji was immersed in training his teammates and no longer noticed Byodoin Phoenix's hands wandering on his body.

Byodoin Phoenix smiled silently, but because her back was turned to Yanagi Renji's parents, they did not notice that the joy and tenderness in Byodoin Phoenix's eyes were almost turning into water and flowing out.

It’s great, my God, you are finally back to me!

Thinking of Yanagi Renji's current situation, the gentle expression on Byodoin Phoenix's face suddenly turned serious.

The seal on Liu's body has begun to loosen. If he does not accept the inheritance from the gods, his body functions will die and he will be forced to become paralyzed.

And there is no way that Byodoin Phoenix would allow its god to fall to that level!

As a result, Yanagi Renji began to go to Kyoto every weekend to receive guidance from the Phoenix Power of Byodoin.

This allowed him to spend more time with Byodoin.

It turns out that this person has a lot of facial expressions in private. When Yanagi Renji saw Byodoin Phoenix showing a disgusted expression because he ate food he didn't like, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

There was obvious confusion in Byodoin's eyes as he looked at Yanagi Renji who suddenly laughed out loud. He took a piece of paper and put it on the table, then picked out the green peppers from the plate and put them on the paper.

"You don't like green peppers that much?"

As Yanagi Renji spoke, he naturally picked the green peppers from the Byodoin plate and put them on his own plate. After he finished picking, he realized that his behavior was a bit too intimate.

Yanagi Renji paused holding the chopsticks, and looked up at Byodoin Phoenix sitting opposite him as if he had realized something.

The man was looking at him with deep eyes, or it would be more accurate to say staring.

The Byodoin Phoenix looked at him with a warm gaze mixed with a hint of sadness.

Why did she look at him like that? Yanagi Renji was puzzled. They had never had any contact before except for this period of time.

Where did the deep love in the eyes of the Byodoin Phoenix come from?

Yanagi Renji suddenly became curious beyond tennis, and he wanted to know where Byodoin Phoenix's emotions came from.

With his outstanding ability to collect information, Yanagi Renji collected some information about the Phoenix of Byodoin from the servants who served Byodoin when he was being instructed by Byodoin in Phoenix Hall.

Not about tennis, but about the priesthood.

The reason why Byodoin Phoenix could become the youngest master in the family was because of the enormous divine power he was born with.

This man was born to be dazzling, just like his dazzling golden hair.

However, the young master had a small problem that had troubled him for many years: since he was four years old, he had a nightmare every night.

In his dream, he watched a god fall, and the Phoenix of Byodoin Temple, who had first dreamed of those scenes, wailed and cried all night long.

Hearing the servant's words, Yanagi Renji's mind flashed with some images that made his heart beat faster.

It seemed like a scene of someone being tied to firewood and set on fire.

Why did those images appear in his mind, and he always felt that he had a strange dependence on the Byodoin Phoenix.

This doubt was answered as he gradually mastered the divine power and unlocked the divine seal on his body.

One night, Yanagi Renji, who fell into a deep sleep, saw the servant of Byodoin telling the real reason for the god's fall.

It’s funny to say that the god saved Shimin but also died at the hands of Shimin.

Because the gods did not meet their increasingly excessive demands, people came to believe that the gods were useless.

A rumor that came from nowhere said that if people burned the gods to death, they would gain immortality.

The kind god didn't know what people were planning. When he heard that there was an infectious disease in a remote village, he appeared in the small village without hesitation.

Then the villagers tied up the god on the pretext of curing an illness, put him on a pile of firewood, and set him on fire to burn him to death.

It's not that the gods are incapable of breaking free from their restraints, but a group of people with crazy looks on their faces suddenly appear and threaten the lives of the villagers, forcing the gods to give up resistance.

The heart-wrenching cries for mercy are still ringing in our ears. The captured villagers cursed the gods for being cowardly, selfish and hypocritical. But the gods would not die, so wouldn't it be simple for them to agree to those people's demands?

Yanagi Renji felt the god's disappointment, struggle, and despair at that time.

Finally, the god agreed and let the flames wrap around his body and burn him to death.

However, the fall of the gods did not make those foolish people immortal. Instead, because there was no protection from the gods, people soon began to contract highly contagious diseases.

The priest who supported him at the time, a man who looked exactly like the Phoenix of Byodoin, went crazy after receiving the news of the fall of the god.

After killing all the fools who believed that they could achieve immortality by eating the ashes of the gods, he set himself on fire in the temple of the gods' statues.

Yanagi Renji finally understood why the Byodoin Phoenix always looked at him with such sad eyes, it was because he was the fallen god.

Yanagi Renji, who was awakened by a dream, cried and then laughed. It turned out that the young boy who swore to follow him all his life really kept his promise.

He couldn't wait to see the Byodoin Phoenix!

Thinking this way, Yanagi Renji first sent a message to his parents on his mobile phone, then sent a message to Sanada, and then ran to Kyoto in his sportswear.

He had a feeling that he would meet the person he wanted to see in that place.

So, on a June morning, Yanagi Renji, who got up in the middle of the night to travel from Kanagawa to Kyoto, saw the Byodoin Phoenix, also wearing sportswear, under a big tree.

"I knew you would be waiting for me here!"

Yanagi Renji approached with the Byodoin Phoenix at full speed.

The Byodoin Phoenix, who had been waiting there, opened its arms to welcome Yanagi Renji who was flying towards it.

After holding Liu in his arms, he sighed with contentment.

It feels so good to actually hold this person in my arms!

The two men faced the rising sun, their heads getting closer and closer, until they were inseparable.
