Leaving behind Yu Zhang, who looked a little stunned, and Niu Gui, who knew that the young master would definitely not come back for a while after going to the toilet, said to Yu Zhang with a helpless look: "As Lord Lu Sheng said, I, Niu Gui, am responsible for business matters. Since Lord Yu Zhang has this idea, I will discuss the details with you."

Nurarihyon took back the idea of ​​comparison that had just occurred to him. How could he compare when he had lost in the business at the very beginning... He also felt that Lu Sheng was indeed like his grandfather in this respect. Isn't it a manifestation of magnanimity to leave the economic affairs, which are the pillars of the organization, to the people below?

He noticed that his grandson glanced at him before he walked out of the room. The look in his eyes conveyed that he had something to ask. Hua Piao understood what he meant, put down the teacup, and said, "In that case, I won't stay and get in the way anymore." Then he disappeared like smoke.

This time, the young monk did not miss it, but even though he saw it with his naked eyes, he still could not detect its aura. He could not help but narrow his eyes slightly, feeling very amused: "A sly ghost... Interesting."

Kuroda Fang was not good at business either. He sat quietly in the middle of the field, staring at the man in black kimono next to the young monk. He felt that this guy with a cold expression was as sharp as a knife and extremely dangerous.

The conversation continued without the commander-in-chief.

……

……

After Nura Rikuo left the room, he did not go to the bathroom. He just found an excuse to run out. At this time, he came to the courtyard, leaned on the railing, and looked at the cherry tree in the middle of the courtyard.

It was just that at this time of year when winter was approaching, the branches were bare and there was nothing to see. With a bored expression, Nura Rikuo asked, "What do you think, old man?"

"Hmm? What did you say?"

The short old man stood beside Lu Sheng and looked at the bare cherry trees with him.

"Regarding the fact that Yuyuko is contacting the leaders of various families and wants to gather monsters from all over the country to fight against the Onmyoji Bureau together."

"...As for that fox, it was an overly clever move. I thought it was her. The first thing she would do after breaking the seal would be to rush over to me in anger... Or she would be unhappy with the investigation of the Yin-Yang Bureau and want to destroy them first."

No matter which one it is, it is an act of walking into a gun. Four hundred years have passed, and a lot of things have changed. The Nura clan is much stronger than it was back then, and humans are even more powerful than the monsters of the past could never imagine.

"But he endured it and accumulated strength until he fully recovered. He was still not satisfied and wanted to unite with the monsters. This is the ultimate way to play it safe."

"I didn't expect that either. But since you brought me such words, it can be seen that Yuyuko herself hasn't changed much."

"You've clearly taken such careful actions. Why do I feel like your memory is unreliable, old man?"

"Four hundred years ago, she was able to wield power in Kyoto, not only because she was powerful, but also because she had many strategists around her. Yuyuko is indeed the type who doesn't think too much, but she is not stupid. Perhaps a smart guy suggested using the excuse of fighting against the Onmyoji Bureau to gather the forces of the monsters. The fox would still listen to his subordinates. Like me, he is a typical person who sits back and enjoys the fruits of others' labor... It's a good idea, and it just fits the ideas of the old guys, so it went on smoothly."

“And then it turned into this incredible situation.”

Anyone with a little foresight will understand that the current situation is developing in a very serious direction. If all the evil spirits in the country unite, the power formed will become extremely terrifying, and they will really be able to confront the Onmyoji Bureau head-on. By then, the world's structure will probably undergo earth-shaking changes.

This is no longer just a small-scale fight. The Night Parade of Eighty-Eight Demons in Shikoku, represented by Yu Zhang, and the monster organizations in various places must have all started to move. I really don't know what the final outcome will be.

"After being suppressed by exorcists for so many years, they can finally fight back and hold their heads high. This is a good change for monsters - I think many people would think so." Nurarihyon said with a smile.

Nura Rikuo's eyes were cold as he continued, "Then, with radical ideas in mind, he started to attack self-righteously, pushing the conflict to an irreconcilable point... It's not impossible that it would eventually turn into a war that engulfs the entire country."

"Terrible~Terrible~That's very bad."

"The one leading the way is Yuyuko... the possibility of that happening is even greater."

"It is because of this situation that the leaders are striving for the joining of our Nura group." Nura Sakura didn't seem nervous at all.

If you want to borrow the power of those old guys, you have to be checked by them. They are all old foxes who have been operating in their own territory for a long time. Anyone with a normal mind knows that war is not good for anyone. The purpose of fighting against the Onmyoji Bureau is probably just to resist the suppression of the Onmyoji Bureau, obtain the qualification for dialogue, and expand the interests of the monsters in the world, rather than starting a war and overturning the basic base.

They hope that Nura Group will join, on the one hand because they need the strength of their largest organization among the monsters, and on the other hand, of course, it is because when forming an alliance, someone must stand up to compete with Yuyuko and curb the growth of dangerous ideas.

Nura Rikuo also understood this truth.

"So, there are people who don't want us to join them." Nura Rikuo sighed softly, "The Baboon Group was destroyed, I think it was to stimulate the conflict between our Nura Group and Yuyuko. Some people don't want Yuzhang to successfully mediate."

If the purpose was really this, then we have to admit that the other party's means were indeed effective. Now that the baboon group has been destroyed and no one can be caught, it is suspected that it was done by Yuyuko. This is now the consensus within the Nura group. Even now, Nura Rikuo thinks that it might be someone from Yuyuko who did it. That fox may not really want the Nura group to join, and perhaps it was just because it had to consider the opinions of the leaders that it had no choice but to do so.

If he rejected Yu Zhang's proposal of coming for peace talks with Yuyuko's "sincerity" because of various grudges, he would be truly deceived.

"But no matter what, I have to go. To prevent the worst from happening." After a pause, Nura Rikuo laughed again: "Looking at it from another perspective, isn't it also a great opportunity? The throne of the leader seems to have not been decided yet, wouldn't it be great for me to be the lord of the demons and monsters?"

"That's a good idea... But I have to warn you, it will be very dangerous, Lu Sheng."

"Yeah, yeah, I'm so panicked." Nura Rikuo joked, "I'm so scared that I might die there by accident."

"If you don't treat it with care, you will really die."

Nura Rikuo was stunned and looked at his grandfather.

Nurarihyon said as he squinted his eyes and recalled the past.

"If you have never really faced Yuyuko, you don't know how terrifying she is... Lu Sheng, you are now the commander-in-chief of the Nura Group. Your judgment is correct, so I will not stop you, but I want you to promise that you can come back alive - after Koiban, the Nura Group can no longer afford to lose another leader, do you understand?"

"..." After a moment of silence, Nura Rikuo said softly, "Don't worry, old man. Don't you know how good our Nura is at escaping?"

At this time, the Snow Woman leaned out from the corner of the corridor, holding bedding, and was going to prepare the rooms for the guests to rest. When she noticed Nura Rikuo's figure, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Lord Lu Sheng!"

Looking at the girl jogging towards him, Nura Rikuo added with a smile.

"Besides, don't I have a bunch of trustworthy companions?"

……

……

Li Nian came to the place where the "falling object" fell straight down. Unfortunately, it was on a busy street. From a distance, she saw a group of people gathered there, watching something and taking pictures with their mobile phones.

I approached and found a random person who was holding up his phone to record the situation inside, tapped his shoulder, and asked, "Brother, what's going on?"

The man was very excited, and he became excited as soon as he was asked: "Just now a person fell from the sky and hit the ground! I thought he jumped from the building, but there was a big hole, but the person stood up as if nothing happened. Look, he is eating at the stall next to him now."

Li Nian squeezed in to see what was going on inside.

The crowd was surrounding a roadside stand. Behind a curtain, a man was sitting there eating. There was a large crack on the ground next to the stand. It was quite large and the momentum of the fall was probably terrifying.

The situation was clear at a glance. The guy who jumped out of the carriage just fell to the ground, and then went into a roadside stall that happened to be open nearby as if nothing had happened.

What a big heart...

It was definitely a monster, but it was still unknown whether it was dangerous or not. Fortunately, it fell from the sky and created a hole without any damage. Even a fool could tell that it was not a normal creature, and none of the onlookers were stupid enough to get close to it.

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Li Nian walked over without hesitation, lifted the curtain and entered the stall. He saw a middle-aged man who seemed to be the store manager standing there with a stiff expression, preparing ramen. Li Nian directly showed his exorcist qualification certificate to the man who was looking at him. The store manager's face immediately showed a look of joy as if his savior had come. He kept winking and pointing to the man who was sitting at the seat eating noodles.

Without him saying anything, Li Nian was also looking at the man.

He was a giant who was almost two meters tall, with his muscular body wrapped in a T-shirt and sweatpants. His clothes were normal, except that he was wearing a half mask covering the upper half of his face.

He must have noticed my approach, but he was just busy slurping noodles without even looking over here. It seemed that he had eaten a lot before coming here, and a mountain of empty bowls was piled up beside him.

The store manager was doing business when he suddenly heard a bang nearby. He ran out to see what was going on and saw the guy dusting himself off in a dusty pit. He stood up and looked at him. Their eyes met and the manager was frightened by the inexplicable aura he saw and dared not move. He intuitively felt that this was a very dangerous presence. Fortunately, the burly guy soon lost interest in him. With a twitch of his nose, he turned his gaze towards the car stall that was emitting a fragrance. When the giant guy's eyes left, the inexplicable pressure the store manager felt disappeared. The store manager, who had regained control of his body, saw this scene and, as if possessed by a ghost, forced out a business smile and made a gesture of invitation.

As a result, the man actually nodded, walked into his own shop and sat down, and then became what he is now.

The store manager was deeply regretting his foolish behavior that had brought about such a dangerous existence.

Come to think of it, I didn't eat anything either.

"Give me a bowl, too."

Li Nian thought about it, ordered a bowl of ramen, and sat down next to the burly man.

Chapter 232: Contact and Missing Between Unknown People

Just sit down like that? Shouldn't we take this guy away immediately?

The owner smiled bitterly, but still responded, prepared the customer's order, and soon served Li Nian a bowl of ramen.

The aroma makes my appetite growl, and the color of the oil on the steaming soup makes my hungry stomach growl.

Li Nian took out his chopsticks, put his hands together, said "I'm starting", and started to eat with relish.

The taste was really good. She ate all the noodles and soup, and enjoyed the process. At the end, she put down her chopsticks, clasped her hands together, smiled and said to the store manager sincerely, "Thank you for the hospitality. I'll come again next time." She took out her wallet to pay, but when she took out the money, she thought for a moment, stopped, and glanced at the giant next to her. He had just finished the twelfth bowl of ramen in front of him and seemed to be full. He burped contentedly, touched his stomach comfortably, laughed, and said, "Delicious! The food prepared by humans in the past was delicious, and now it seems to taste much richer than before. It's comfortable! Not bad, little guy."

Uncles in their forties and fifties were still called little guys, but in front of such a special customer, the store manager could only shrug his shoulders.

The giant didn't seem to want to eat for free. He reached into his pocket, but seemed to have just remembered something. He froze and frowned. Seeing this, Li Nian couldn't help but shake his head slightly and took out more bills from his wallet: "Check out. Let me pay for this guy next to you as well."

The giant turned to look at Li Nian. He was only now showing some interest in this guy, but he didn't thank him. Instead, he shouted, "Then bring me some more wine."

"This..." The store manager looked embarrassed.

"He doesn't look like someone who would tear down your store. Just treat him as an ordinary customer. Bring the wine, and I'll pay for the expenses."

As he spoke, Li Nian handed over another ten thousand yuan bill.

After hearing what Li Nian said, the store manager also felt that it made sense. This giant who fell from the sky was obviously not an ordinary person and seemed very dangerous, but his actions so far did not seem to have the intention of harming anyone - the exorcist was also here and said that the expenses would be covered, so he could just treat him as a customer.

The store manager, who had figured it out, breathed a sigh of relief and immediately resumed his business smile.

"Yes, what kind of wine would this guest like?"

"casual."

"Well, how about beer?"

"Bill? What's that? Whatever, bring it up."

So the store manager poured out beer in a huge glass, and brought out two cups, one of which was placed in front of Li Nian. When Li Nian looked at him in confusion, the store manager smiled and said, "Just consider it a free gift for you, you two can have refills as you like."

The exorcist appeared here to inspect the situation and protect the people. If this young man didn't come to the stall, and looking at the giant man's appearance, he might not be able to pay. Of course, the boss didn't dare to ask for it. A dozen bowls of ramen are a small amount of money, and he was more afraid that something might happen. So the manager was very grateful to Li Nian for showing up to rescue him.

(Legally, I’m not even 20 years old yet… Can’t you tell that I’m in casual clothes? Never mind, I’ll just pretend no one knows.)

It had been a while since he had drunk alcohol, and after eating, he needed a drink to moisten his throat. Li Nian did not refuse, took the glass, and raised his glass to the giant man, "One?"

The beer was brought in front of him. The giant picked up the cup and was curiously examining the bubbling golden liquid behind the transparent glass, as if he had never seen it before. Seeing Li Nian raise his cup to toast, he casually clinked glasses with him, put it to his lips and took a sip to test the taste. When the cold and slightly bitter liquid poured into his throat with a strong sense of stimulation, he tasted a mellow aroma of fermented wheat. The giant's eyes lit up immediately, and he didn't hesitate this time. He gulped down the whole thing, put the cup down heavily after drinking, and shouted happily.

"It's great! Come again!"

After handing over the empty cup, the store manager filled it again for him. This time, the giant man took the cup in his hand again, but he did not drink it again. Instead, he glanced at Li Nian.

"Boy, are you an exorcist?"

"Yeah. I saw something falling from the sky, so I came over to check out the situation." Li Nian drank slowly.

Drinking the wine offered by others, the giant responded calmly to the worry.

"...Don't worry, I have no interest in doing anything to weak guys."

"It seems so, but remember to bring your own money next time."

"I just forgot to ask the little bug for it. Don't think of me as a low-level thug who likes to eat for free."

"It seems quite low to ask for it from others...Okay, I believe it."

Coming over, Li Nian saw that this guy didn't seem to have any intention of making trouble. In that case, it didn't fall within his duties as an exorcist. After finishing the glass of wine, Li Nian put the glass down and prepared to leave.

The giant suddenly asked.

"By the way, you're an exorcist, right? I want to ask you something."

"What?" Li Nian stopped.

"Do you know any powerful guys nearby?"

"A strong guy?"

"Yes, the kind that is particularly good at fighting."

"…Why are you looking for that kind of guy?"

"Looking for a guy who can fight means of course you want to fight him, right? What else can you do?"

He actually asked back with an attitude like "What kind of stupid question are you asking?" Just to pick a fight?

Even if he knew there was such a person, he would not really encourage this guy to go and make a scene with someone. Although he could not sense any strange aura now, Li Nian could still guess that this guy was the most dangerous one who disappeared suddenly. If he really started fighting with someone, who knows what he could do to the surroundings.

So Li Nian’s answer was: “I don’t know.”

"…boring." The giant shrugged in boredom, but he still asked, "In that case, what do you think about yourself, kid?"

"Me? I'm just a newbie who just became an exorcist not too long ago."

It is very troublesome to have anything to do with such people, and he does not want to engage in meaningless fighting and killing, so Li Nian decisively pretends to be a pig.

"...Really? That's really boring." The giant waved his hand. He didn't expect to ask anything from the passerby. It seemed that he had lost interest in Li Nian. "Okay, kid, you can go now... Well, thank you for the treat."

"It's a small matter. If you want to make peace with me, please don't cause any trouble."

"I've already said that I'm not interested in weaklings. I can't find anyone I'm interested in, so I can't make a fuss even if I want to... I won't say any more. It's boring. It's really boring."

I was in a good mood, eating and drinking well, but when this trivial matter was mentioned, I became annoyed again.

Suddenly losing interest in continuing drinking, the giant put down his glass, stood up, and without even saying hello, left the stall before Li Nian.

Li Nian watched the giant man walk away in confusion, not knowing what he was here for.

However, after drinking with him and having a conversation with him, although he kept saying "I do this and that" with an arrogant attitude, he was straightforward and seemed to be a good person. Li Nian felt that he could trust his attitude that he would not do anything to the weak, that is, ordinary humans.
