Tian Ruo Qingxian understood that he was asking about his attitude. After all, the Curse Search Department was a department that specialized in dealing with such matters. His attitude as the head of the Curse Search Department naturally represented the Yin-Yang Bureau.

At this time, Li Nian explained the matter of Yatoshin to Tian Ruo Qingxian, undoubtedly hoping that he would give an opinion from the Onmyoji Bureau. After all, since Yatoshin was still active, it was impossible for him to really bypass the supervision of the Onmyoji Bureau.

Tian Ruo, who understood this, gave an answer without hesitation at this time.

"Logically speaking, Yato God should be killed, but if you let that evil god go, you, Li Nian, should be held accountable."

“… the official attitude that is taken for granted.”

"The rules are there, so we should follow them. If you commit a crime, you should be punished. If you kill someone, you should die. What do you think, Lord Li?"

Jianshan was furious, and he knew very well that the trouble he was suffering was really Li's fault. When he heard that Li Nian was going to be held accountable, he didn't intend to excuse him. He rolled his eyes and thought, just go ahead with it.

But Li Nian, who seemed to be held accountable, was still in a smiling mood. He even nodded in agreement, saying, "I think what Tian Ruo said is right." But he asked back, "It should be so... Then why is Yuyuko still alive?"

Oh, Lord Li is really straightforward. I knew he would ask this question. Nura Rikuo, who was listening silently, shook his head slightly. As the head of the Nura group, he knew very well that there was always a difference between "what should be done" and "what is actually done".

The Curse Search Department led by Tian Ruo Qing Xian is the embodiment of this principle.

Nura Rikuo knew it... The reason why the Curse Search Club was a feared term among monsters and exorcists was that the practices of the Curse Search Club had nothing to do with words like "clean" and "disciplined".

That was the sword of the Yin-Yang Hall. Tian Ruo Qingxian, who was holding the sword, was definitely not a person with clean hands and heart who could be called honest and upright.

Li Nian's tricky question did not shake Tian Ruo at all, and his expression did not change: "I know what Lord Li wants to say. Yes, accountability is just empty talk. I can only hold you accountable if you take the blame. Without sufficient power, the rules will be difficult to implement. The current Yin Yang Office is not strong enough to arbitrarily implement these rules on the bigwigs... But difficult does not mean impossible, nor does it mean that you can not do it. If you want to ask about the attitude of the Yin Yang Office, this is the only answer. As the power of the Yin Yang Office develops, the rules will be further implemented-but it is a fact that they cannot be implemented now. To put it bluntly, I care more about the actual impact... Regarding the matter of Yatoshin, it is really a joke to hold you accountable, Lord Li, and it is unnecessary. But Lord Li, you took the initiative to bring it up, which means that you intend to take the corresponding responsibility for your actions, so I just hope you really do it."

Compared to superficial things like procedures and rules, Tian Ruo Qingxian, the Minister of the Curse Search Department, really cares more about the actual impact... just as Li Nian feels.

Li Nian's frankness in this matter was to observe what kind of person Tian Ruo Qingxian was and to understand his code of conduct. Obviously, Tian Ruo also realized Li Nian's purpose, and his answer was frank and without any reservations, which made his thoughts clear.

"Well, I will continue to observe Yatoshin. If he deviates from expectations, I, Li Nian, will take responsibility and kill him."

"it is good."

Knowing that this meant that the Yatoshin case was shelved by the Curse Search Department and was handed over to Li Nian to handle the follow-up. Isayama didn't feel surprised. She used to think it was unreasonable because it was against the rules. Now she gradually understood that there was nothing strange about it. The rules themselves were made by people and changed according to people. For these big shots, right and wrong were never important.

Well, this has nothing to do with me as a low-level civil servant - Isayama has no intention of becoming this kind of dirty big shot.

"Before that, he will be dealt with by our Nura Group." Nura Rikuo said, looking at Li Nian, smiling, "So you two don't have to worry about this kind of thing... Just tell me how to find Yatogami, Lord Li."

That’s right... Yato God must first survive the pursuit of the Nura Group. Li Nian, who thought this as if it were none of his business, did not hesitate at this time and directly told the method of summoning Yato God.

Knowing that Yato was a god who could be summoned by faith, Nura Rikuo smiled even more. He waved and called the Ushio who was sitting next to him, whispered something in his ear, and the latter withdrew with a cold look in his eyes, obviously going to arrange the hunt for Yato.

Suzuka watched Ushiki disappear outside the banquet hall and muttered, "Come on, you don't have to bother talking about Yatogami's future..."

Looking at this situation, Suzuka felt that Yatoshin had no chance of survival. It was obvious that the Nura Clan was planning to use all their forces to surround and kill him, or it was an ambush that was deliberately planned. It was a question whether Yatoshin could survive tonight.

"He's not that easy to kill."

As the one who brought up this topic, revealed the true identity of Ye Dou Shen, and brought this killing calamity upon him, Li Nian was not so pessimistic about Ye Dou, because the power of that god was very interesting, and if he wanted to run away, there would be few who could stop him.

Besides, Yatoshin is not alone, he has a "father" Fujiki.

There was no need for Li Nian to remind him of this kind of thing, as Nura Rikuo knew about it as well... No matter what, Li Nian didn't care what preparations the Nura group would make in order to ambush Yatoshin and Fujiki, and didn't intend to ask a single question about it.

After that, they didn't talk about any serious topics. Compared to Lu Sheng who seemed to be very interested in chatting with him, Li Nian answered him intermittently and was more focused on eating - the Nura group prepared top-notch food for the people here, which were delicacies that you can't usually eat.

"Don't you think you're being a little rude..." Jian Shan couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he moved closer to Li Nian and kicked him without making a sound, "You just eat and eat. You're a guest in someone else's house, and the host is asking you a question."

Li Nian rolled his eyes and turned to ask Lu Sheng: "Am I being rude?"

"It's quite rude... But of course I don't mind. It seems that the food I prepared is to your taste, Li Nian. This is better than anything else."

"Yeah, it's pretty delicious."

"Hehe... Please, eat as much as you want. You'll be full."

"Then I will respectfully obey your orders. The host said that we can eat as much as we want. Did you hear me, Isayama?"

"Why don't I choke you to death..." Jianshan rolled his eyes at Li Nian and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Lord Lu Sheng."

Lu Sheng waved his hand indifferently. He himself had a casual demeanor. At this time, he just raised the wine cup in his hand towards Li Nian. Li Nian was not really tactless. He returned a glass and drank it all. This was considered as an apology for the impoliteness. Li Nian continued to enjoy the food, and Lu Sheng did not ask any more tactless questions.

The two of them fell silent. Tian Ruo over there had no interest in chatting and just ate quietly. The three grown men didn't speak. The others, except Suzuka and Li Nian, didn't have much in common either. They all looked like they were saying "don't bother me". Seeing this, Jianshan simply left the table and went downstairs to find Bingli. The main seat suddenly became very quiet... but there was no awkwardness. Everyone seemed content.

Different from the atmosphere here, the atmosphere below was becoming more and more lively. The monsters of the Nura group gathered together to drink and eat meat. They were getting more and more drunk and gradually became noisy.

While eating and drinking, Li Nian was also paying attention to the situation in the venue. It can be seen that this is what the Nura crew is like on a daily basis. He really likes this kind of atmosphere, noisy, but also peaceful.

However, this peaceful atmosphere changed in an instant when a person opened the door and walked in.

"The smell of wine! The smell of meat! This is really unbearable! I just woke up and I'm starving. Hey, Nura team, give me something to eat and drink."

The man who broke in was actually the sleeping spider.

All of a sudden, the originally noisy banquet hall fell silent.

Chapter 369: Every Failure Makes You Smarter

"It's Tsuchigumo." When Suzuka saw Tsuchigumo, he remembered how ferocious he looked when he was fighting with Li Nian, and his face turned grim.

"Oh, is that so..."

Tian Ruo narrowed his eyes and stared at the burly man at the door. He had collected relevant information before and knew the appearance of this great monster in human form, but this was the first time he met him. "He actually woke up at this time."

Isayama thought to himself, "What a terrible time did this lunatic pick to wake up?"

Li Nian was also a little surprised.

Although Li Nian knew after taking a look at the sleeping Earth Spider before that this guy had almost recovered to the point where he could detect the surrounding situation and wake up on his own, he did not expect that the Earth Spider would really wake up at this point in time.

Honestly, it was a really bad occasion and time.

Everyone in Nura was drinking and chatting. The originally peaceful and lively atmosphere suddenly became cold and quiet because of the appearance of Tsuchigumo. As more and more people realized the identity of this uninvited guest, the coldness further turned into solemnity.

Li Nian had even seen several monsters with powerful auras over there unfolding the field of "fear". The dark aura visible to the naked eye was corroding the surroundings, and the monsters had entered a state of combat.

It can be said that this development is not surprising at all.

Tsuchigumo once beat Rikuo so badly that he was unconscious. It was extremely infuriating for the guys in the Nura Clan that their captain was injured like this. When they saw Bingli bringing the unconscious captain and heard her description of what happened, they planned to go out in full force to launch a war of revenge against Tsuchigumo.

It was Nura Rikuo who woke up in time and suppressed their anger, stopped the actions of the Nura group, and forced them not to act rashly.

Afterwards, Tsuchigumo was beaten half to death by Li Nian and was brought back by Lu Sheng in an unconscious state. This caused an uproar in the Nura clan at the time. Many people wanted to take this opportunity to cut this guy into pieces and eat him alive, but it was still Lu Sheng who held them back.

Not only was he not killed, but he also took good care of this enemy in his own home, without any restraints, and let him sleep soundly right in front of him.

Quite a lot... no, most of the Nura-gumi members were extremely dissatisfied with this, and Ushio was a representative.

But Lu Sheng said, "If you want to cause trouble for him, you have to wait until he recovers, otherwise it would be against morality." Everyone thought this was reasonable and endured it reluctantly.

Now that Tsuchigumo has woken up and appeared in front of everyone, does it mean that we can finally take revenge on him?

The monsters in the Nura group thought so and became restless. They were eager to try and couldn't wait to take revenge on Xue Heng.

For example, Bingli, who is usually a cute and gentle girl, now has a ferocious expression as if she wants to eat the person in front of her alive. She stares at the earth spider and looks extremely scary.

Lu Sheng was of course aware of the atmosphere in the room, and felt that Tsuchigumo woke up at a bad time. He smiled helplessly, but just pointed to the empty seat next to him: "Please sit down... Someone, bring some wine and food."

Tsuchigumo ignored the murderous aura around him. After Lu Sheng said that, he lazily said "thank you", walked straight forward and sat down casually.

"Good morning."

Li Nian greeted him in an awkward manner and pushed over his share of food and wine.

He was not surprised by Li Nian's presence, because he had sensed the boy's presence when he was sleeping before, which was why Tsuchigumo decided to interrupt his sleep and wake him up at this moment.

"Oh. Good morning."

Suzuka glanced at the moon hanging high outside the window, then looked at Tsuchigumo.

The earth spider looked obviously listless, undoubtedly it had not fully recovered yet, and was really hungry at the moment. It took the food that Li Nian pushed to it without hesitation, grabbed it directly, and threw it into its mouth.

Seeing this, Lu Sheng ordered his subordinates to "take more."

Now that Earth Spider had woken up, Li Nian asked him with great interest, "You've been sleeping well these days, haven't you? So, how much of your strength have you recovered so far?"

"About 70%." Tsuchigumo casually revealed all his secrets.

"So, can we fight now?"

"Of course." Earth Spider glanced at Li Nian and said, "Why, kid, you want to fight now?"

Suzuka, who was standing nearby, felt horrified. Were these two battle maniacs planning to start a fight here after just a few words?

"No." Li Nian shook his head: "You are no match for me now. Wait until you recover a little bit."

When told that he was no match for Li Nian, Tsuchigumo did not refute, knowing that it was indeed the case.

In his current state, there was no way he could fight back against the suppression of this human mage.

When he was fighting with Li Nian, he was suppressed by Li Nian when he was a little weakened. What's more, his strength was weakened by more than 30%. If he, Earth Spider, fought with Li Nian again, he would be easily killed by various spells just like in the final stage of the battle.

Tsuchigumo didn't feel depressed at all. Instead, his low spirits and dull senses after waking up from sleep were stimulated and cheered up. The enemy who had defeated him was right in front of him, showing off his power. The man was excited by this and laughed loudly: "Then I have to recover quickly! I will get back at you next time!"

Li Nian didn't care and said, "Without more changes, you will only lose more miserably next time."

He was not just saying it casually. Li Nian felt that he had already figured out Earth Spider's strengths. After all, this burly man was fighting with brute force. If he didn't have more tricks, even if he recovered to his full strength, Li Nian was sure that in the next fight, Earth Spider would be suppressed even more thoroughly by him.

Tsuchigumo thought about it and nodded in agreement with Li Nian: "Indeed, I have to use my brain a little bit."

At this time, the little monsters brought up a large amount of wine and meat, placed them in front of the earth spider tremblingly, and immediately ran away, hiding in a far place to watch.

The earth spider stretched out its hand and grabbed the food. Its eating manner became more and more rough, like a hungry ghost. After being hungry for a long time, he finally had a hearty meal and couldn't help but shouting, "Delicious!"

Only the two of them had the leisure to chat, eat and drink. Everyone's eyes were focused here, and at this moment, someone finally couldn't help but stand up and roared.

"Tsuchigumo! Don't think that the matter of injuring Lord Lu Sheng is over! Once you've had enough, come out and fight me!"

Tsuchigumo and Li Nian looked at the monster, who was a monk wearing monk's robes, skull prayer beads, and had a head of white hair.

Li Nian remembered him as a man following Nura Rikuo, and remembered that his name was Qingtianfang.

It was true that Li Nian had no interest in fighting with the weakened Tsuchigumo, but he knew that there would definitely be a monster from the Nura clan who wanted to kill Tsuchigumo at this moment, which was why he asked beforehand if he could fight Tsuchigumo. And sure enough, a reckless man jumped out.

Tsuchigumo never avoids a fight that comes to his door. The man swallowed what he was chewing with a sip of wine, stood up, hooked his hand at Qingtianfang, then opened his arms, making a gesture of "come and fight me".

Isayama muttered, "What a familiar posture."

Suzuka smacked her lips in disgust. "When a battle mad monster collides with a battle mad monster, this is really not surprising at all."

Li Nian was not surprised and just gave Lu Sheng a questioning look. The latter sighed and did not intend to stop him. He just said softly: "I don't want to destroy the mansion. Can you please open the barrier, Lord Li?"

Li Nian nodded, snapped his fingers, and deployed a sealing barrier, capturing everyone in the field. For a moment, the surrounding space faded its color, lost its breath, and jumped to another world line.

Tian Ruo looked at the space isolated by the sealed barrier with great interest. He had heard that Li Nian had this skill before, but when he actually saw him perform it in person, he was still amazed at the ingenuity of the technique.

Now the monsters can do whatever they want.

The monk Qingtianfang looked at the posture of the earth spider. Instead of feeling angry at being treated with contempt, his expression became solemn.

The monsters in the Nura group all want to avenge their young master, but no one will underestimate the reputation and power of the great monster Tsuchigumo. Even though Tsuchigumo was defeated once by Li Nian and revealed in the conversation just now that he only has 70% of his strength, Qingtianfang will not underestimate Tsuchigumo in the slightest.

He took off the rosary made of skulls hanging around his neck and threw it on the ground. The seemingly light bone product fell to the ground, but it felt as heavy as a huge rock and smashed through the wooden floor with a loud bang.

Qingtianfang seemed to have been freed from its shackles. A deep fear seeped out from its body, and darkness encroached on its surroundings.

Li Nian could tell at a glance that Qingtianfang, as its rough appearance showed, was a physical monster similar to the Tsuchigumo, and its practice direction was to train the body internally.

After removing the seal that was usually placed on his body, Qingtian Fang immediately launched an attack, roared, and leaped in front of the earth spider. The aura of "fear" lingered around his arms, like a black dragon wrapped around him. He swung his fists and smashed hard into the earth spider's chest.

The blow hit the earth spider hard, sending it flying like a cannonball and breaking through layers of walls.

Finally, the Earth Spider flipped in the air and landed gracefully several dozen meters away. It puffed out its mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. It was injured, but not seriously. After spitting out the blood, it recovered its breathing. It pressed its aching chest and said with a smile, "Not bad, strong enough."

Li Nian's pupils shrank slightly and he was shocked.

He was watching carefully, so he noticed Tsuchigumo's response.

This man seemed to be taking the hit head on, but in fact he jumped off the ground at the moment of being hit. The muscles in his chest that had blocked the Qingtianfang arm hammer rose and fell strangely, as if he was relieving the force.

The key point is that the way of releasing force feels particularly familiar to him, with subtle changes in the muscles... Li Nian realized that he seemed to have been taught something by someone else.

In the distance, Earth Spider took a punch from Qingtian Fang and was quite satisfied with the monk's strength. He thought he was a worthy opponent. He became slightly interested and excited, shouting at the top of his voice: "Okay, okay! Monk, it's your turn to take my punch?"

After saying that, a figure flashed, and Earth Spider stepped in front of Qingtianfang, twisted his waist and threw a punch.

Li Nian raised his eyebrows and after watching this move, he was sure that the Earth Spider learned the power from him.

Changes, the changes of the Earth Spider have already appeared.

Li Nian is not the only one who learns, hones himself, and becomes stronger in battle.
