"If anything happens, remember to call me."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
As the footsteps faded into the distance, only Kenmei Isayama and his uncle Naraku Isayama remained in the large living room; his cousin Yomi Isayama had gone on a mission.
"Xiao Ming, it's been so long since you've come."
Isayama Naraku was unaware of Isayama Kenmei's purpose in coming, after all, the Isayama family's intelligence capabilities were truly lacking.
There was nothing that could be done; the family had fallen into decline. Of the five members in the family, the intelligence network was the first to suffer devastating damage.
Isayama Yomi received information from the Spellcaster Association, while Isayama Naraku, being a retired spellcaster, had to be notified by the Spellcaster Association to know.
However, accident investigations take time, and the Sorcerer's Guild won't tell him anything unless they give him the final accident report.
The news came quite late; even now, Isayama Naraku is unaware that his younger brother is missing and that his niece is seriously injured and unconscious.
I still thought that Kenmei Isayama had come to my house to visit Yomi Isayama.
"As for Huang Quan, he won't be back until tonight."
Kenmei Isayama took a deep breath; this was the source of his earlier trouble.
Strictly speaking, he was the one who initially discovered the accident. He acted impulsively, wanting to question Sister Ming, but he didn't...
I can't believe something this big has happened.
How could he possibly keep it a secret? He might as well confess his problems himself sooner rather than later, since Kenmei Isayama was the last person to visit the Isayama branch family.
"Uncle, the Isayama family has been divided and is gone."
The first words spoken by Kenmei Isayama made Naraku Isayama think he had misheard.
"I just came back from there. The Isayama branch family has disappeared from the map. My second uncle and Sister Ming are both missing."
However, Kenmei Isayama knew exactly what had happened, just like a clear mirror in his heart.
In fact, his second uncle, Jian Shanyou, did not visit his friend as Mingjie had said; he had already passed away.
When the white-haired brat's head was stolen, Kenmei Isayama specifically went to check the basement in the ruins.
When Kenmei Isayama found him, he had five fatal wounds on his body, all of them knife cuts, and he passed away peacefully.
The body was already showing signs of decay, indicating it was extremely cold.
If I'm not mistaken, it was Hades, who was controlled by the "Killing Stone," who killed her.
In the end, Kenmei Isayama helped his sister get rid of the second uncle in this body.
They burned Isayama Yu's body to ashes, and to be on the safe side, they disposed of the ashes.
After all, the story of patricide was too scandalous to be told, so Kenmei Isayama simply reported the father and daughter as missing.
Otherwise, it is conceivable that: "The eldest daughter of the exorcist family, the Isayama family, was possessed by the Killing Stone and killed her own father. She is currently on the run."
The Sorcerer Association will inevitably issue a kill order against Sister Ming, which will have a terrible impact on the reputation of the entire Isayama family.
The final executioner should still be Sister Huangquan; the already precarious Isayama family can no longer withstand such turmoil.
The problem is that Kenmei Isayama has already taken in Mei-nee, so where can Yomi-nee find Mei-nee to complete her mission?
Such a thing would be disgraceful if it got out, so Kenmei Isayama simply went all the way and blew up the Isayama branch family again, completely erasing all traces of it.
This can be considered an explanation.
When Isayama Naraku saw his nephew's serious expression, which showed no sign of joking, his smile immediately vanished.
He became unusually serious, and his hand holding the cane trembled violently.
"What's going on, Xiao Ming!"
Tell me everything that happened when you went to Jianshan You.
Isayama Naraku's voice trembled. Although he didn't particularly like his younger brother, he still felt a pang of sadness upon hearing that his brother and niece had gone missing.
In this era where cursed spirits frequently appear, going missing is practically synonymous with death.
Chapter 85 The Best Bloodline
"I understand, thank you for your help."
Although his uncle, Naraku Isayama, was far away from Kenmei Isayama when he made the call, he could still hear some fragmented information coming from the phone.
"Something has happened to the Isayama branch family. Mr. Isayama Yu and Ms. Isayama Mei have both gone missing."
"We will conduct a search, but Mr. Naraku, please be prepared."
Many and similar words
As Kenmei Isayama had anticipated, by burying the entire mansion and destroying all evidence, he successfully minimized the impact of this heinous incident on the entire Isayama family. (According to the servant, when Kenmei Isayama visited, there was no one left alive in the Isayama branch family.)
It's not uncommon for individual sorcerers to disappear; in the archives of the Sorcerer Association headquarters, there are dozens of cases of bizarre disappearances, including entire families of sorcerers.
The general procedure of the Sorcerer's Association is to first conduct a superficial search to give the family an explanation, and then usually nothing happens in the end. If there is no news within six months, the person will be presumed dead, and then they can have a funeral feast.
Therefore, the truth behind the disappearance of Sister Mei is known only to Kenmei Isayama and Jinji Fushiguro.
"Xiao Ming, the Sorcerer's Association has also notified me."
"You and Ming, sigh."
After receiving the phone call, Isayama Naraku seemed to have aged considerably, swaying unsteadily as he leaned on his cane, looking as if he was about to fall.
Kenmei Isayama noticed and immediately went to help him up, assisting him to the sofa. He handed his uncle a water glass.
Isayama Kenmei could hear his uncle repeating the same sentence over and over again.
"The Isayama family cannot be destroyed in my hands."
The Isayama family was already small in number, and this time, having lost a branch family, their vitality was severely damaged, and their population was reduced to three people. This situation can be described as a life-or-death moment.
"uncle?"
Kenmei Isayama suddenly felt that Naraku Isayama's gaze was a bit scary, as if he wasn't being treated like a human being, which made him uneasy.
In desperation, Naraku Isayama set his sights on his nephew.
With the pure bloodline of the Isayama family and the bloodline of the Kamo family, one of the three great families of the jutsu world, Isayama Kenmei has no better bloodline than this.
Although Kenmei Isayama lacks talent in sorcery, it is not impossible for his descendants to have children who can inherit these techniques.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Ming."
After experiencing such a change, Isayama Naraku realized that he had lost his composure for a moment. He had just thought of a way to revitalize the family, which could be described as a crooked and unorthodox method.
"Many children, many blessings"—it seems that old people tend to overthink things.
"Xiao Ming, why don't you move in with us?"
Isayama Naraku cleared his mind of all the strange and nonsensical thoughts and changed the subject.
“There are more and more cursed spirits outside now. Your sister Huangquan is out early and back late every day killing cursed spirits, but it still can’t keep up with the speed at which these ghostly things appear.”
“I’m not at ease with you living there.”
The disappearance of his younger brother, Isayama Yu, and niece, Isayama Mei, has truly sounded the alarm for Isayama Naraku, crossing his bottom line!
If he were to lose his nephew, Kenmei Isayama, the Isayama family bloodline would essentially be extinct, a price that Isayama Naraku could not afford.
"It's alright, Uncle."
Kenjiro Isayama didn't want to refuse immediately, even after meditating.
"I'm used to living alone."
Just kidding, the fact that there are at least eight cursed spirits kept on the third floor of his own house already constitutes illegal breeding of cursed spirits, and that alone would be enough for the Spellcaster Association to execute Kenmei Isayama dozens of times.
The Spellcaster Association has no jurisdiction over spellcasters under its three main families, but individuals like Kenmei Isayama who are involved in the research of cursed spirits are directly labeled as "cursed spellcasters".
And then there are those incredibly cute Tyrannosaurus bugs, each one more adorable than the last, transporting these shameful things.
Sigh, that could give him a terrible headache.
Therefore, it was completely impossible for Kenmei Isayama to move in there, so of course he had to refuse.
"Then I'll let Huang Quan..."
"How about moving there? The two of you can look after each other."
Isayama Naraku sensed Isayama Kenmei's resistance but didn't force him; instead, he used a compromise.
Isayama Naraku acknowledged his adopted daughter's strength, so having her protect Isayama Kenmei was naturally not a problem.
Of course, the most important reason for this is that Isayama Naraku has his own agenda; Isayama Yomi is the next head of the family that he has chosen.
"Protecting whom?"
But if Yomi Isayama knew that Naraku Isayama was thinking this way, her eyes would probably widen in surprise.
"Xiao Ming, does he still need my protection?"
“Dad, you didn’t see Xiao Ming’s last time, he killed Tianyu Tyrant with just two quick strikes.”
This matter was far too shocking, so Isayama Kenmei did not allow Yomi to mention it to his uncle.
"Uncle, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm really fine on my own."
When he heard that his uncle was still worried about him living alone and suggested that Huang Quan come over, Isayama Kenmei said helplessly.
"Let Sister Huangquan keep you company a little longer."
If he doesn't produce some convincing evidence for his uncle, then tomorrow—no, tonight—Huang Quan will probably be kicked out of the house by his uncle.
Are you worried that something might happen to me if I live alone?
Isayama Kenmei chuckled and shifted into a more comfortable sitting position. He slowly lay back on the sofa, crossing his legs in a very lazy manner.
Isayama Naraku wanted to say something more, but when he heard two crisp claps, he swallowed his words immediately upon seeing the scene.
"Uncle, I have always been a law-abiding citizen."
Kenmei Isayama looked directly into Naraku Isayama's eyes and spoke in a statement of fact.
"We don't provoke trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either!"
"I can protect myself."
