Tiandao Shigure is not good at thinking.
His brain is not as good as that of his peers. To put it bluntly, his IQ is relatively low, and he has been stupid since he was a child.
As a direct descendant of the Patriarch of Tiandao School, one of the seven great families of Onmyoji, his spiritual talent is only average, so that's all. The terrible thing is that the basic skills that children of the same age family can learn very quickly, it took him more than ten times the time to barely learn.
It is inevitable for such a child to be blindsided.
And what aggravates this is that he has a genius brother—Tiandao Leizhen.
Lei Zhen's talent is amazing, and even his younger brother Shi Yu, who was born later, is also expected, but Shi Yu is an idiot, which makes people disappointed.
The huge gap aggravated the contempt that the people of the Tiandao School cast on Shi Yu, and made him suffer even more contempt.
The well-loved and arrogant Lei Zhen regards this idiot brother as a burden and even a shame. His father was also under pressure, so he didn't have a good look at the stupid second son.
The dull Shigure is also not very sensitive to the contempt and malice of others, but insensitivity does not mean that he has no feeling at all.
For the negative gazes and words directed at him, he can only remain silent. He could only endure the beatings and scolding from his brother and father.
Only in front of the only mother who treats him kindly, Shigure will cry.
His mother constantly comforted him, encouraged him, and enlightened him, telling him not to hate his brother, father, and other clan members.
Shi Yu tried his best to do what his mother said, endured it, and suppressed his hatred. Even if he was scorned as an "imbecile" and spat on his face, he just wiped it off silently and still maintained his etiquette.
On the other hand, keep working hard, work hard, work hard, work hard... Even if the growth rate is much slower than others, as long as you are good enough little by little, you will eventually be recognized.
However... the mother left.
She finally couldn't take it any longer, and after a violent quarrel with her husband, she left home.
I'm sorry to leave you alone... Before leaving, she repeatedly apologized to Shi Woo and burst into tears.
Shi Yu was also very sad, but he didn't want to hear her mother's apology, but felt that it was a good thing for her to leave this uncomfortable place.
But it's really sad, sad, much sadder than being scorned and beaten for many years.
But in front of the crying mother, Shi Yu suppressed his emotions and never let himself cry.
After that, he didn't cry, not a single tear was shed.
From then on, Yu completely sealed herself off, suppressed all her emotions, and no longer showed any expression other than indifference to anyone.
Days like this passed day by day, spring, summer, autumn and winter rotated like a windmill, and he looked at the flow of the world indifferently, and began to vaguely feel a wonderful state.
This is a state that cannot be described in words... At least Shi Yu's IQ cannot be described at all, and he can only feel it silently.
Until one day, he suddenly entered a mysterious state, feeling as if he had turned into an illusion, everything stopped, but it was still flowing... dimly touched some kind of mysterious power.
He was deeply attracted by this mysterious power, and tried to absorb it into himself, but it has not been successful.
Until the news of his mother's illness came, he finally got his father's permission to visit her.
And this became the turning point of Shigure's fate.
His mother's maiden name was Yagyu.
That day, he walked into the gate of the Yagyu family, one of the three samurai families and the family with the most sword masters!
…
"Master Shiyu, we are almost here."
Hearing this gentle voice, Shigure opened his eyes.
Smiling in front of him was a beautiful girl with long black purple hair and light golden eyes.
She was wearing an elegant dress, her hair was slightly curly, the corners of her eyes were slightly drooping, and there was a small mole on her pink lips. Her smiling expression was very gentle, exuding a submissive and charming atmosphere.
This beautiful girl is called Umeya Emi, an onmyoji who belongs to the Umeya family of the Yagyu family.
Just like the Tiandao family has the vassals of the samurai family, the Yagyu family also has the vassals of the Onmyouji family, and the Umegu family is one of the representatives.
Huimei is the leader of the younger generation of the Umegu family. Yagyu Ryugang personally arranged for her partner to participate in the rain's blood wine ceremony at that time.
Logically speaking, Shi Yu's partner should be a child of the Tiandao family or a vassal of the Tiandao family, but it turned out to be a young Yang master arranged by the Yagyu family... Something must have happened in the middle, but the person involved is not clear.
It doesn't matter to Shigure who his partner is, as long as he doesn't hold back.
The car drove to the destination, and the two got out of the car and walked to the pier, where they boarded a luxury yacht.
There are already some people sitting in the luxuriously decorated hall of the yacht.
"Nice meeting, Mister Tiandao, Miss Meigu, welcome here."
They were greeted by a tall, handsome boy in casual attire, with shaggy brown hair and gray eyes barely hidden by bangs.
"Nice meeting, Mr. Heiqi." Shi Yu responded in a low voice.
Nobuhiko Kuroki... One of the organizers, a participant from the Heiqi family, is the host of this rally.
After greeting each other, Shigure and Huimei sat down, and then a maid brought high-end tea and snacks.
Nobuhiko let them do whatever they want, as long as this is their own place.
Shi Yu responded calmly, and after taking a sip of tea, he closed his eyes while maintaining a sitting posture.
He has no intention of talking to people, after all he is not very good at chatting.
Being in a strange place and facing strange people, it was quite difficult for him to show the words and deeds that a child of the Tiandao family should have. Since the host said it's free, then he will be free.
This behavior is not friendly but not disrespectful either. Everyone present knew the "rumor" about Tiandao Shigure, and they had different thoughts about his seemingly unwilling to waste a little time to meditate.
Is that "rumor" true
Someone asked.
"It's true." Nobuhiko Kuroki replied, "Ms. Umegu next to Mr. Tiandao is proof that she was arranged by the Yagyu family."
Everyone couldn't help but glance at Umegu Huimei.
Emi smiled.
Sitting silently beside Shi Yu, she didn't look like a young lady at all, but a maid who was used to serving her master.
Some people are curious about Shigu's specific experience, while others are displeased with the pretentious "low energy" and reject it.
And Shi Yu just closed his eyes, sitting quietly, as peaceful and indifferent as a Buddha statue.
Then people came one after another.
Not long after, everyone arrived.
Nobuhiko instructed the driver to steer the boat, then looked at the people in the hall.
Seven masters of Onmyoji, three families of samurai, two sects of ninjas, and the family of Domeki... The top-level fighters gather here!
"Let's introduce myself first. After everyone gets to know each other, we can talk about the next thing." Kuroki Nobuhiko said.
Then he introduced himself and his fighting partner.
"I'm Shunto Haruta, my shikigami Namoriya Sayuri." The handsome boy in a jacket and trousers continued.
"Natsuki Sowa, Yuuki Shikigami Sekine." Said the beautiful girl in a black lace dress, short dark red hair, and smoky makeup.
"Tokugawa general history..."
"Masao Yagyu..."
"Shinichiro Domeki..."
"Yuzawaemon..."
The names were announced one by one, and each one was enough to cause vibrations on the ship Seiji was on.
"When it rains..."
When the name was announced indifferently, the atmosphere on the scene became obviously different.
As a child of Onmyoji, he was personally taught martial arts by the most powerful contemporary samurai master, and before that he was recognized as "low energy"... This kind of thing is also a legend in the upper circles!
Among them, Masao Yagyu of the Yagyu family felt the deepest, because he knew the concept of the Budo Chuan taught by Ryuko Yagyu himself at such an age.
genius? No, this is a monster! !
