Nangong Wuyue and Nangong Sanba sat on the sofa in the middle of the living room. Opposite them were Hao Ren and the other three. The scene was like a court hearing, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
However, the biggest source of embarrassment for Hao Ren was Nangong Sanba's flashy name.
"Laugh if you want," Nangong Sanba sighed. He could see the expressions on the faces of the others. Aside from Y 'zaks, who was from the otherworld, who did not know what was going on, even Vivian had a subtle look on her face. "I've been wanting to change my name for a long time."
"Is that your real name?" Hao Ren tactfully expressed his surprise. "Ugh, actually, the name is not important. You can search the internet for people named Wang Dachui and Li Goudan. Aren't they all alive and well? Although, I didn't expect a demon hunter to have this name."
Actually, he did not finish his sentence. Just look at the two siblings, Nangong Wuyue's name, it's artistic and elegant, it's elegant and elegant, why is it that when it's her brother's turn, he named himself Nangong Sanba? He was also a demon hunter. In Hao Ren's eyes, this profession belonged to the gang of evil bosses. As everyone knew, every group of villains would have a lot of cool names. But now that this person was called Sanba, it was enough to prove that he was not a good demon hunter. Just like how a demon king named Wang Daquan would not be a good demon king.
Considering that the words would not only upset Nangong Sanba but also cause Y 'zaks to recall his unpleasant past in his hometown, Hao Ren held back and did not say anything.
"Mother gave us our names." Nangong Wuyue looked at her brother helplessly. "She didn't know much about the people on the surface, so she named us according to the month of our birth. My brother was born on the eighth of March, so he was called Nangong Sanba. I was born in the middle of May the next year. Nangong Wuyue didn't sound good, so I shortened it to Nangong Wuyue … Ugh, it's that simple."
Hao Ren glanced at Nangong Sanba. "Actually … Sanba isn't a derogatory term, but it's a bit strange to use it on a man. It's not difficult to change your name now. You can change it too."
Nangong Sanba's expression immediately turned serious. "Our bodies, hair, and skin are given to us by our parents, and our names are passed down from our ancestors. How can we change them so casually? Changing my name was just a thought, but I never took it seriously! "
Stunned, Hao Ren looked at the demon hunter who had suddenly become serious. He really wanted to slap his thigh and argue with him: As a demon hunter, can't you speak in a way befitting of your identity? At this time, if you jumped up and swung your hammer to say "Holy Light, this enemy is worth fighting", it would be more fitting for your character than spouting a few words of classical Chinese, right?
"My brother is like that, very stubborn." Nangong Wuyue sighed. "Sister Vivian, don't be so guarded. My brother is different from the other demon hunters. He won't cause you any trouble, and he definitely can't beat any of you. Oh, he should be able to beat Rollie. Speaking of which, Rollie isn't asleep yet."
The black and white kitten was strolling in the living room. When it heard someone calling it, it stopped in its tracks and meowed. It looked at Nangong Sanba suspiciously, as if trying to ascertain if this was the new tenant. Vivian beckoned the kitten over and gently stroked it in her arms. She looked up at Nangong Wuyue and asked, "Is it because your brother is a mixed-blood that he doesn't have the full power of a demon hunter?"
Nangong Sanba was a half-baked demon hunter. This had been proven when they first met in England. At first, Vivian thought that he was just an ordinary person who had stumbled upon the demon hunter's knowledge. Now, it seemed that he did indeed have the blood of a demon hunter, just that he was a mixed-blood.
"Bloodline is one of the reasons. The other reason is that the demon hunter heritage of my family has been incomplete since my father's generation." Nangong Wuyue no longer hid her family background. She opened her mouth and said, "You should know that demon hunters and humans are not actually the same race. They are only partially similar. The lifespan of a demon hunter is almost as long as that of many otherworldlings. So, normal demon hunters marry within their own race. The younger generation of demon hunters are stimulated and infused with power by their parents from birth. By the age of twelve, they begin to receive training from their parents and try to fight the weaker evil spirits or other demons independently. At the age of sixteen, they leave their parents and are sent to the senior demon hunters for three to five years of guidance and introduced to other demon hunters. Only then do they truly integrate into the group and are recognized and accepted by their own race. This is normal, even during my grandparents' generation.
"But something went wrong during my father's generation. My grandparents died in an accident when he was thirteen. In the same year, there was an organized counterattack by the otherworldlings in Asia. The local demon hunter organization was in chaos. My father was just a child at that time. Before he could be introduced to the other senior demon hunters, he cut off all contact with the demon hunter community."
Vivian nodded thoughtfully. "Thirteen years old … Just started combat training. He wasn't a stubborn old man yet. Perhaps his prejudice against the otherworldlings wasn't that serious. After all, demon hunters are sentient beings and are subject to emotions."
Nangong Wuyue spread out her hands. "That's the situation. Since my father's generation, my family has lost contact with the orthodox demon hunters. My father met my mother after a few years of wandering. Then, 'something' happened and they got together."
Nangong Wuyue spilled the beans on her family's past. She probably wanted to prove her honesty and make up for the fact that she had concealed the truth from others. While Hao Ren did not care about it, Nangong Wuyue seemed to care about it.
Through Nangong Wuyue's narration, Vivian finally understood how the never-before-seen couple got together. At the same time, she also understood what was going on with Nangong Sanba, the half-baked demon hunter: not only was he a mixed-blood, he did not even learn all his skills!
"Since my father's generation, the inheritance was broken." Nangong Sanba smiled awkwardly. "After he and my mother got married, of course, they couldn't find other demon hunters. In fact, after that, both of them lived in seclusion in the mountains. They were afraid of being discovered by demon hunters or otherworldlings. I learned some half-baked skills from my father. The only thing I learned was runes and these … "
As Nangong Sanba spoke, he pulled back the loose black trench coat, revealing the silver crossbow and some strange throwing knives, medicine bottles, wooden sticks, and other gadgets. "Exorcism tools, the only thing that my father has mastered. I know how to make these things, but I'm not too familiar with how to use them. Many exorcism tools need to be driven by a specific mind. I've never learned that, and my father doesn't know how to teach me."
"What's your attitude towards the otherworldlings?" Vivian felt that she had to ask this question directly.
"If I say that I'm a peace-loving person who wants the world to be united, that would be too fake." Nangong Sanba spread out his hands. "I can only say that I'm not hostile towards most of the otherworldlings unless they come looking for trouble."
There were still many things that Hao Ren did not understand about this maverick demon hunter. "Are you in contact with other demon hunters? You've always been a loner? Don't they know that there's a special guy like you? "
"Of course I'm a loner. To be honest, I'm not that interested in the orthodox demon hunters. I know that once I'm exposed, they'll definitely come looking for trouble." Nangong Sanba nodded. "The demon hunters have a relatively loose structure. Although they're closer to each other than the otherworldlings, it's only for the convenience of working together to kill 'evil'. When there's no joint operation, the demon hunters often act alone, just like a lone hunter. So, a lone guy like me doesn't attract their attention. Even if we bump into each other, they'll just say that I'm patrolling in another area and I'm in a hurry to carry out a mission." Nangong Sanba smiled. "They never suspect one of their own."
Hao Ren nodded. He had no more questions. But for some reason, he felt that the Nangong siblings were not clear about something.
Vivian seemed to have thought of something. "So, the two of you are running around … It seems like you don't just like to travel, right?"
(There was a small mistake. I've corrected it.)
