There is nothing wrong with the training method of the Justice Messenger

Li Nian felt that Xia Zhiqiu seemed to have begun to regard him as a professional, and he couldn't help but shake his head. He himself hadn't thought about such long-term things.

……

……

They chatted idly and before they knew it, they arrived at Sakurasou. After confirming with Kanda that Shiina had been brought back by him, Li Nian told her where Shiina's room was and asked her to go up and find him herself.

"See you next time."

"Goodbye"

Watching Xia Zhiqiu walk up to the second floor, Li Nian breathed a sigh of relief. He was not a fool. He had noticed Xia Zhiqiu's various hints along the way. To be honest, it was really tiring to deal with them.

Oh...it's really troublesome...

Shaking his head, Li Nian returned to his room, made himself a cup of tea, sat down to rest for a while, and wanted to make the final revisions to the manuscript before submitting it directly.

However, before he could even sit down and take a sip of tea, his phone rang. It was Isayama calling.

Li Nian answered the phone.

"Isayama-senpai?"

"It's me. I wanted to ask if you have any plans tonight?"

"Not really."

"It would be best if you don't have it. If you do, cancel it and make time for me."

"…What is it?"

"The big shots from the Yin Yang Hall have arrived."

Chapter 149: Banquet

Li Nian was not surprised at all after hearing this. He knew that someone from the Yin-Yang Department would definitely come. He estimated that it would be in the near future. It was not surprising that they would come so soon, which just showed that the Yin-Yang Department attached great importance to this aspect.

"I see. So where do you need me to go?"

Li Nian thought that he might need to report to some official agency, such as the Onmyoji Bureau's Chiba branch, or find a secret and quiet place for a private meeting. He just planned to explain the matter quickly and neatly. The arrangements after that would be a headache for the powerful people and had nothing to do with him.

But Isayama's answer completely negated all the situations he had anticipated.

"We are going to a banquet on the fourth floor of the Okura Hotel."

"……what?"

"Do you have formal clothes? Put them on and dress yourself up. Mr. Iwata and I will come pick you up later..."

"Wait, wait, you just said a party? We're going to the Okura Hotel? And we need to wear formal clothes?"

Li Nian was a little confused.

"Yes, all kinds of celebrities will be there, so don't dress casually like you usually do. You must pay attention to your image."

"No, I don't understand why it's a banquet..."

"I don't know about that... It seems that those people also have social engagements to attend? I don't quite understand, but anyway, let us go, so let's go."

"...Okay." Li Nian thought for a moment and said, "Ask more. Who are the people here?"

"I received the message from Team Leader Jinguji. He just told me to go with you, and that she would also come. From the tone of her voice, it was not just the team leader, there should be several others."

Li Nian was not satisfied with this unclear answer. However, Li Nian probably couldn't recognize the names of the important figures that Isayama reported. He did know that Jinguji was Isayama's immediate superior, and he felt that the people coming should be people of their level.

"In short, you must not neglect others."

"I know."

"Then Iwata-san and I will come pick you up at 7:30. You should prepare yourself during this time. Back to the previous question, do you have formal clothes?" Isayama was worried that Li Nian could not find suitable clothes, so he kindly said, "If not, I can help you get one."

"I have them, no need." Li Nianyou brought the clothes left by his father to Sakurasou, because his current body shape was just right for him and he could wear them, and he could even find a suitable formal suit among them.

"That's good, remember to wear it!"

Isayama repeatedly emphasized this before hanging up the phone. Li Nian put away his phone, scratched his nose, smacked his lips, and felt that things were a bit troublesome.

A banquet attended by all the celebrities... It seemed so unrealistic just thinking about it. Whenever he imagined the scene, he always felt a smell of bourgeois decadence coming towards him.

The main reason was that Li Nian had always been a nobody in his past and present lives, and had never been involved in that kind of occasion. Now he was suddenly asked to put on a suit and attend the occasion. To be honest, he felt a little at a loss.

"Well... it sounds like Isayama is very experienced. It will be a good idea to hang out with her when the time comes."

Thinking about it carefully, that's actually the case. Since they are celebrities, they have nothing to do with him. Li Nian knows that he has no power, no influence, no connections, and probably won't be taken seriously. As long as he remains polite, they can just ignore each other and deal with it casually. He thinks that this time he went there mainly to tell the big guys what he knows, and there is probably no room for him to make comments on other things, so he can just say what he wants and be done with it.

Thinking about it this way, Li Nian suddenly realized that going to this banquet was actually a good opportunity to eat and drink for free.

Li Nian's mood suddenly brightened. He stopped thinking about it and started to make preparations.

There was still plenty of time and there was no need to rush. After washing up and getting myself ready, I found a suit from the closet and put it on. Standing in front of the mirror, looking at the handsome boy reflected in my reflection, I couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of my heart.

"When did I become so handsome?"

He wasn't bragging, but the man in the suit in the mirror looked quite handsome and tall.

At this moment, Li Nian truly experienced what it means that clothes make the man and saddles make the horse.

He is not the type of pretty boy who is so handsome that it is heartbreaking. At most, he has regular facial features. But after coming to this world and undergoing body reshaping, he looks much neater and his spirit is completely different. Now he takes care of himself seriously, wears a suit and a tie, and he really looks like a successful person in society.

Li Nian felt that her image was good enough. She looked at the time and it was almost time. Then her cell phone rang. Isayama said he was waiting for her at the door. Li Nian replied that he would be there soon and pushed the door open and walked out.

He walked to the entrance, and by chance, Kasumigaoka had finished talking to Shiina and was walking downstairs, just in time to bump into Li Nian who was about to go out. When he looked up and saw Li Nian's image, he was stunned.

"Kasumigaoka-senpai."

"…Who are you?"

"Li Nian." Li Nian smiled and said, "Is he so handsome that I can't recognize him?"

Kasumigaoka calmed down a little, looked Li Nian up and down, and couldn't help but marvel at her.

"Junior, you've changed not only your clothes, but also your style."

"Men always have several styles. When they are dressed in formal attire, they just happen to be in a separate mode. This is normal."

"Do you feel like you look ten years older?"

"…I took it as a compliment."

"It's a compliment, in the sense of appearing mature and steady... Honestly, I had a vague feeling that your mental age should be around 40 years old, and now I see that I'm even more certain of that."

"It's a bit exaggerated. I should say at least thirty years old." Li Nianxin thought about his age in his previous life and found that he was not even thirty years old.

"I don't deny that you have old-fashioned ideas... Anyway, this outfit suits you very well."

"Thank you."

"So, where are you going dressed like this?"

"Something."

"Here I am. As usual, it's as good as nothing... I understand. I won't ask."

This person was as tight-lipped as ever. He guessed that Li Nian was now going to do work-related things and he would definitely not say anything that shouldn't be said. So Kasumigaoka gave up the idea of ​​investigating further.

After saying goodbye to Kasumigaoka, Li Nian left Sakurasou. When he went out, he saw a familiar black car parked outside. Li Nian walked over. Isayama rolled down the window, looked Li Nian up and down, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Looks good, you're qualified."

"Putting on a handsome suit and pretending to be a decent person is no match for the beauty in front of me."

Isayama also changed into a black evening gown, revealing the fair skin on her shoulders and collarbones. She put on light makeup and looked much more beautiful and mature. Li Nian's compliment came from the heart.

"You're just a chatterbox." Isayama scolded him with a smile, "Come up."

Chapter 150 Yukinoshita Haruno

They arrived at the Okura Hotel, went straight to the fourth floor, handed in the invitation, and then Li Nian and Isayama entered the banquet venue.

It looked like the party had already begun.

Li Nian looked around. From what Jianshan said, all the people coming were celebrities. But after arriving, he found that the situation was not as exaggerated as he had imagined. Although the decoration of the whole venue was quite grand, it was not magnificent. It just felt like an ordinary hotel. There were not few people coming, but not many either.

However, the men and women who came and went were indeed dressed elegantly and decently. Most of them were middle-aged, very elegant, and looked like rich or noble people. These people were scattered in various corners of the hall, gathering into small groups and whispering to each other.

Li Nian asked Jian Shan quietly, "Where are the people from Yin Yang Hall?"

Isayama was also looking around, trying to find someone there, when he suddenly spotted something and pointed towards it.

"The team leader is there!"

Li Nian looked in the direction of her finger and was shocked. What he saw was not Isayama's team leader, Miss Jinguji, but another man.

——The sky is like a clear string.

Director of the Yin Yang Bureau's Curse Search Department and a national-level demon exorcist.

When they first met, Li Nian didn't know his identities, but now he knows. He is the director of the Curse Search Department. His appearance here makes Li Nian wonder if the Yin-Yang Bureau may pay more attention to what is happening in Qianye than he thought?

Tian Ruo was talking to a middle-aged man and didn't notice that they had arrived at the venue, but there was a woman in a black suit standing next to him. She seemed to have been watching the situation at the door. She had already noticed Jian Shan looking in this direction. When their eyes made contact, she smiled at the right time, her smile was gentle and amiable, and she nodded in this direction.

"The leader has discovered us!"

Jianshan, who told Li Niantian Ruo Qingxian's identity, seemed not to recognize this important person. He just waved excitedly over there. The woman also raised her hand and waved gently at Jianshan. It was obvious at a glance that they had a good relationship.

Li Nian asked Jianshan: "Is that your Jinguji team leader?"

"Yeah, what do you think? Our team leader is very pretty, isn't she?"

It was the first time I met Jinguji. She was indeed a beautiful person as Isayama said, but Li Nian felt that she gave people the aura of a strong workplace figure.

So the two people sent by the Yin Yang Department are...

"Master Tianruo, Mr. Li is here."

Jinguji over there noticed that Jianshan had brought Li Nian here, so he found an opportunity to interrupt the conversation between Tianruo and another person and informed Tianruo Qingxian of the news. Tianruo was stunned, then immediately looked up at the door and found Li Nian. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Don't worry."

"I understand." Jinguji nodded, turned around and smiled apologetically at Li Nian and others.

Isayama immediately understood: "We have to wait."

Li Nian nodded, not in a hurry. He turned his head and began to look at the various dishes on the table. To be honest, he was a little hungry...

Li Nian thought that he could take this opportunity to fill his stomach. He was just about to find a plate to get something to eat when he suddenly heard a puzzled voice from the side.

"You are……?"

Li Nian looked blankly. It was a beautiful young woman in a long dress, who was looking at him in doubt.

She seemed to know him, but Li Nian didn't remember where he had met her before. He looked around, then pointed at his face and carefully confirmed with her.

"Miss, are you talking about me?"

“…Oh my.” She covered her cheek and tilted her head with a troubled expression, “It seems that I have been completely forgotten.”

When the conversation was established, Li Nian knew that the person was talking about him, but he really couldn't remember who this person was, so he couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Excuse me, Miss, have we met somewhere before?"

"...Well, forget it if you can't recognize me... Sorry for bothering me, just think of me as the wrong person."

She looked at Li Nian carefully twice, and seemed to have lost interest in him again. Her expression was obviously dimmed. She shrugged and pretended to turn around and leave.

At this time, another girl came over and said to her, "Sister, mother is looking for you..."

She naturally glanced at Li Nian, who was just talking to her sister, and suddenly her whole body froze. She changed her words mid-sentence and exclaimed.

"Student Li Nian?"

Li Nian was stunned when his name was called directly. He looked at the girl. This time he recognized her at a glance and his expression froze.

"Yukinoshita-san..."

Yes, the girl in front of me, wearing a black backless evening dress and with her long hair tied up, looking extremely beautiful, is Yukinoshita Yukino.

Why did this person appear here - this was the common thought of the two people at this moment. They looked at each other in silence, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Um……?"

The woman who was about to leave but was called sister by Yukinoshita turned around, looked at the two of them, and suddenly a smile gradually appeared on her face again.

"So this is someone Yukino knows... It seems like things are starting to get interesting."

Jian Shan touched Li Nian's shoulder and asked quietly, "Do you know these two people?"
