Ryuga's eyes flickered.
Stepson.
In the Ghost Killer Team, this wasn't the same as' stepfather 'or' stepmother '. The term' stepson 'didn't refer to the successor's son, but to the disciple that was specially taught.
The pillars of the Ghost Killing Team were all top experts. They were the strongest fighting force in the Ghost Killing Team. They were usually very busy. Therefore, as pillars, they would only accept one disciple at most under normal circumstances.
This member who was personally accepted as a disciple by the Pillar was called the 'stepson' of the Pillar.
As the 'stepson' of the Pillar, this member would naturally receive the best treatment. The Pillar would personally teach him breathing techniques and sword skills, and the Pillar would personally practice with him, giving him authority over the other members of the Ghost Killer Team, and so on.
Moreover, after the Pillar retires, this stepson would also have a high probability of inheriting the Pillar's position and becoming the new Pillar level expert.
In view of this, becoming a 'stepson' of the Pillar was basically a 'stepson' candidate, and he would receive preferential treatment in all aspects. There was no doubt about it.
And now, as the Pillar of Flame, the Purgatory Xingshu Lang wanted to accept Ryuga as his stepson.
"Are you sure?"
Ryuga sized him up and narrowed his eyes, "I'm not good at the Breath of Flame. In comparison, whether I become the stepson of the Pillar of Flame, or the Pillar of Wind, or the Pillar of Water, I'm much more suitable than the Pillar of Flame."
There was no such thing as' Lei Zhu 'in the Ghost Killer Team, but' Ming Zhu 'instead. This seemed to be a problem with the name, as the two had the same meaning.
"Moreover, my goal is to create a new breathing technique, how can I inherit your position?"
In the Ghost Killer Team, generally, those who could create a new breathing technique would become the new Pillar, and would not inherit their master's position.
Ryuga had long guessed that the Purgatory Xingshu Lang wanted to see him for something, and he even guessed that it was most likely a good thing, at least for him.
Otherwise, as one of the Nine Pillars of the Ghost Killers, there was no reason for him to come looking for Ye Futian. It was either because he valued Ye Futian's talent, or because Ye Futian had killed one of the Last Quarter Gods. In short, he should have come to give Ye Futian some benefits.
That was why he lowered his stance in the thirtieth move and deliberately chose a male ghost with the Blood Ghost Art to lose to his opponent.
What he was thinking was that he didn't want the other party to be annoyed by his behavior of 'protecting Mi Dou regardless of whether it was a human or a ghost' and decided to withdraw the benefits, letting the benefits that he could have gotten disappear for no reason.
Although he already had the combat strength of a Pillar Level, the Ghost Killer Team had been passed down for hundreds of years. There must be a lot of good stuff inside. No matter what was given to him, as long as it was useful, he would gladly accept it. After all, only an idiot would not take advantage of the situation.
In the end, he never would have thought that Yan Zhu was actually planning to take him in as his stepson.
"I have no intention of letting you take over my position! My goal is only to change your personality! "
Purgatory Xingshu Lang didn't seem to care about Ryuga's words and continued to speak loudly: "Your personality is too awkward. You don't have any passion or passion. You are immersed in your own world and stubbornly insist on doing things your own way. Someone like you won't be able to experience the many beautiful things in this world!"
Beautiful things … [Yin-yang Style] also said the same thing to him.
However, after Ryuga made it clear that he didn't want the so-called beautiful things, [Yin-yang Style] gave up on persuading him, and Purgatory Xingshu Lang decided to stick to his way of thinking until the end.
This was a person who liked to take care of others. His personality was open and candid, and he was straightforward.
To an ordinary person, this would be a big brother type man who could easily give others a sense of security and reliability. However, to Ryuga, this man seemed to be too nosy.
Ryuga's way of doing things was to never ask for anything from others, but he also wouldn't accept anything from others.
Don't expect anything from me, and don't try to change my behavior or thoughts — unless you are far stronger than me.
For Ryuga, people like Purgatory Xingshu Lang who was overly passionate and liked to take care of others were not inclined to interact with him. The compatibility between them was too low.
Therefore, Ryuga's answer was of course — —
"I accept."
After a while, Ryuga opened his mouth and agreed to Purgatory Xingshu Lang's proposal.
It wasn't that he wanted to change his way of thinking to cater to this man, nor was it because he was stronger than him. In fact, Purgatory Xingshu Lang was indeed stronger than him. However, if he was unscrupulous, it wouldn't take him much effort to kill this man. Taking hostages, sniping, assassination, explosives … as an assassin, these methods were simply at his fingertips.
There was only one reason why he agreed to it.
It was all about benefits.
… …
The next morning.
Ryuga went to Zhu Shi and Yushi Lang's house.
"There's a reagent bottle in this box. It contains Wu Pei's blood. The bottle is very tight. Not even a trace of smell will leak out. I've put some sand outside the bottle to provide some shock absorption effect. You can check it out."
In the living room, Zhu Shi handed a wooden box to Ryuga. At the same time, he said: "Although I have removed the curse of not being able to say Wu Pai's name, before you become a ghost, Wu Pai will not be able to use blood to locate your position."
"However, after using this to become a ghost, you will immediately fall under Wu Pai's control. Be it your body or your thoughts, they will all be under his control. You must be careful when using it."
The wooden box was about the size of a palm and the length of a forearm. It was easy to put it into Ryuga's zither case.
Ryuga received the wooden box and opened it. As expected, he saw the yellow sand inside. Buried in the sand was a reagent bottle containing blood.
"No problem."
Ryuga checked the blood in the reagent bottle. After confirming that there was no problem with the blood, he nodded.
"I look forward to working with you."
After getting the blood, Liu Xia put the wooden box into the zither case on her back. The zither case only contained sniper rifle parts, and the extra parts were hollowed out. There was still enough space to carry some important things, such as high-explosive grenades and the wooden box.
"I didn't expect the genius of the Ghost Killer Team to be so fond of ghosts."
In the yard, Yushi Lang looked at Ryuga's back. He couldn't help but sigh inexplicably. "I only hope that he will not become a bigger threat after Wu Pai."
"Our goal is only to kill Wu Pai. As for this child …"
Zhu Shi also looked at Ryuga who was gradually disappearing. After a moment of silence, he said with a heavy tone: "Let's ignore him for now. At least he did not choose to become a ghost immediately. Let's ignore him for now."
Zhu Shi also had a conscience. Ever since she escaped from Wu Pai's control, she had always regretted her past actions. For hundreds of years, she had not eaten a single human.
However, compared to the fact that Ryuga might become a ghost, she hated Wu Pai more. Before she killed Wu Pai, she did not plan to make Ryuga an enemy. At least for now, she would not reveal Ryuga's plan.
"Let's go back. With this broken arm, we should be able to speed up the research on the medicine to deal with Wu Pai."
