Kuri Aoki stood on the rooftop and looked at the collapsed building. Her bright eyes were filled with worry and anxiety. Her left hand held the sheath of the Tri-Flower Demon Cutter tightly.
She had left Hakone with Li Xianyu and secretly came to Tokyo. The elders in her family didn't know about it.
She was excited to be able to participate in something as important as capturing the leader of the Tenjin Association. Li Xianyu had abandoned her on the rooftop of a building far away from Kabukicho.
Kuri Aoki wasn't a girl who didn't know what was important. She obediently accepted Li Xianyu's arrangement. Before she left, she even shouted "Ganba Daddy" to cheer him on. Li Xianyu shamelessly replied, "Yamedie."
He thought it would be an easy operation. After all, he was half a step into Supreme Grade and had many tricks up his sleeves. It shouldn't be a problem to deal with a puppet leader.
However, not long ago, an earth-shattering battle had broken out. The surging aura made Kuri Aoki, who was far away on the rooftop, tremble in fear.
It wasn't a battle that a top S-class could participate in. She knew that. The ordinary people in the building thought it was an earthquake and fled in panic.
The Blood Descendants of the Tenjin Association also retreated.
Then, the fire brigade rushed in to evacuate the crowd and seal off Kabukicho.
Kuri Aoki saw many familiar faces in the fire brigade. She guessed that they were the Blood Descendants of the official organization in disguise.
The time between the battle and the arrival of the fire brigade was less than ten minutes. A normal fire brigade wouldn't be so efficient and fast. There was only one possibility: the official organization had come prepared.
It seemed that the senior from the official organization had really come. However, why would he fight with Li Xianyu?
From Kuri Aoki's perspective, the puppet leader couldn't be that powerful. The suffocating aura was definitely at least half a step into Supreme Grade.
That meant that Li Xianyu and Iwasaki Senpai had fought. It wasn't just a spar, but a real fight. They had even destroyed a building.
Kuri Aoki was confused. She didn't know what to do. She couldn't understand how things had developed to this stage.
If Li Xianyu had fallen out with the official organization, then as a member of the Aoki family, which side should she stand on?
Should he take the initiative to expose the fact that he was pretending to be Li Peiyun?
Aoki Kurumi stood alone on the roof, pacing back and forth, hesitating. Of course, it wasn't because she had a good impression of Gui Shou's successor, she just didn't want to bite the hand that fed her. After all, Gui Shou's successor had saved her life.
Yes, that was it.
While she was lost in her thoughts, her ears twitched. She heard a clatter behind her. Kuri Aoki reacted instinctively and pulled out her Tri-Flower Demon Cutter. She turned around and slashed down.
The blade froze in mid-swing. It wasn't because Kurumi Aoki had seen the person behind her and stopped her blade. Instead, the Tri-Flower Ghostly Cutter was clamped between two fingers, and even the blade's aura was clamped down.
Li Xianyu!
Kuri Aoki was surprised, delighted, and relieved at the same time. She subconsciously wanted to scold him a little, but after thinking about it, she realized that their relationship wasn't that close yet. She adjusted her tone and put on a confused and bewildered expression. "Why did you start fighting with Iwasaki -sama?"
You're making things very difficult for me.
Li Xianyu said softly, "Iwasaki Tōren is dead."
Clang!
The Tri-Flower Demon Cutter fell to the ground. Kuri Aoki's pupils contracted, and she took a few steps back in shock.
"I-it's fake, right?" she muttered.
Not necessarily. It might not be fake. If it was Li Xianyu, if it was him, with the help of the Unparalleled War Spirit, Iwasaki -sama definitely wouldn't be a match for the grandmother and granddaughter.
No, no, it wasn't them. They weren't their opponents.
Kuri Aoki's intelligence returned to normal at this critical moment. Her face was deathly pale, and her voice trembled. "Gu … Gu Yao?!"
Li Xianyu nodded.
"Great-grandmother has already chased after them. I'll be joining them in a bit. Kuri, please go find Choi Hana and San Wu and tell them to meet up as soon as possible. I need companions. "
He paused for a moment and stared at Kuri Aoki's terrified and eager eyes. He had wanted to persuade her not to get involved, but he knew that she had her own ideas. She probably wouldn't listen even if he tried to persuade her, so he swallowed his words.
He wanted her to go find Choi Hana and San Wu because he wanted to get rid of this annoying little vixen. It was good to be alive. There was no need to die.
"Don't inform the elders in the family or the government for now." Iwasaki's death could be kept a secret for as long as possible. The death of their leader would be an unbearable blow to the government, and it might even cause them to collapse.
Li Xianyu told Kuri Aoki the address of San Wu and Choi Hana, while he rushed to the battlefield with Iwasaki's share.
"Be careful," Kuri Aoki shouted. Her vision blurred, and Li Xianyu disappeared.
Kuri Aoki looked around, but she couldn't see Li Xianyu. She didn't know where he had gone. She was stunned for a moment. How was she supposed to inform him? If his woman asked, she couldn't just point in a random direction and say, "All the way west?"
With a blank heart, she took one last look at the collapsed building, then jumped and disappeared into the night.
Shibuya district, luxurious apartment.
Choi Hana lazily curled up on the sofa, chewing on a seafood shrimp stick. She loved this taste.
The trip to Japan was a good vacation experience for her. Other than eating, there was also shopping. After a few days of shopping with Great-grandmother, Choi Hana didn't know why, but she fell in love with this activity.
She felt that she had awakened the soul of shopping.
The TV was playing the news of Tokyo. Hu Yan sat on the sofa and watched it attentively. From time to time, he would look away and stare blankly for a moment, thinking about something. The top S-rank assassin, Tengu, was diligently mopping the living room floor, wearing an apron. He had just finished making supper for his men.
His men's limbs were broken again just half an hour ago. As long as there was enough food and a comfortable resting environment, with a top S-rank physique, broken limbs would recover in two or three days.
Therefore, San Wu had to do another orthopedic surgery while they were still recovering. The reason was that there were too many members of Tengu, and San Wu couldn't take care of them alone.
"It's so boring. I want to eat seafood." Choi Hana sighed lazily.
Tengu immediately put down the mop and went into the kitchen. Ten minutes later, he brought a plate of fried tempura and a plate of sashimi.
Choi Hana sat up happily and tasted the seafood that she rarely had the chance to eat in China.
The biggest advantage of Japan was that there was endless seafood. Choi Hana was most satisfied with this. She wandered in the endless seafood every day, happily slapping the table with her small hands to express her excitement.
The only regret was that Li Xianyu wasn't by her side, so she couldn't share her delicious food with him.
"I don't know if there will be any harvest tonight." Hu Yan said.
The Unparalleled Fighting Soul received a call not long ago and left in a hurry, saying that he was going to ambush Gu Yao. The Unparalleled Fighting Soul was very powerful, but Gu Yao wasn't easy to deal with. Hu Yan had been worried.
"I hope everything goes smoothly." Tengu also expressed sincere concern for Li Xianyu.
Hu Yan looked up at him and thought to himself, "Does that guy Li Xianyu really have such a strong personality? Or does Tengu have Stockholm syndrome? "
After returning from Hakone, it was as if he had become a member of the Li family. He didn't think about his little brother at all. He attentively served the concubines of the Li family's harem group, and from time to time asked Hu Yan about Li Xianyu.
He inexplicably became Li Xianyu's loyal dog.
"The situation doesn't seem right. According to the information Li Xianyu sent me, a clone of Master Qing has appeared in the Tenjin society." Hu Yan started. After waiting for a moment, no one spoke, so he turned his head to look at Choi Hana.
"Are you talking to me?" Choi Hana bit the sashimi and had an expression that said, "But I don't want to talk to you."
"No." Hu Yan shook his head and thought to himself, "Talking to you is a waste of my saliva."
After getting along for a few days, he roughly figured out Choi Hana's temperament. Apart from her good figure, pretty face, and decent strength, she basically didn't have any good points. She liked to lazily curl up on the bed or the sofa and eat seafood.
She was arrogant and treated herself as the master, bossing people around.
Things like brains, cats don't have.
"San Wu, he's talking to you." Choi Hana raised her head and looked at the puppet girl sitting on the other side of the sofa. It was unknown whether she was practicing Qi or was absent-minded.
The puppet girl's calm eyes that were like colored glass were fixed, then she looked at Hu Yan.
Hu Yan hurriedly waved his hand: "Please continue, I'm not talking to you."
He was quite familiar with this former A-rank assassin of the Ancient God. After all, he had colluded with the remnants of the Ancient God for a period of time.
Obviously, she wasn't a suitable subject for discussion. She was more like a tool. Moreover, she was a tool that couldn't be ordered around. San Wu only listened to the words of his own people. Hu Yan was a protector of the Thousand Demons Alliance, so he wasn't one of his own people.
What Hu Yan wanted to say was, just like what Li Xianyu said, there was an alliance between the ancient demons, and Master Qing had opened a sockpuppet in the Tenjin society to stimulate the cultivation of those top rank S ranks to greatly increase. This way, they could rely on the power of the Tenjin society to overthrow the official organization.
It wouldn't expose the ancient demon of Japan.
Li Xianyu's fake Li Peiyun's activities in Japan could catch the ancient demon unprepared, but if his identity was exposed, the ancient demon's ally would definitely take action.
Maybe they would form a team and come to Japan. At that time, Hu Yan and the others would encounter a hell level dungeon.
This was not good.
"I'll give Li Xianyu a call later to discuss. If I really don't want to, I can retreat first." Hu Yan thought.
At this moment, Hu Yan noticed that Choi Hana and San Wu, who were useless in his eyes, stood up at the same time. A moment ago, they were lazy cats, but the next moment, they were like ferocious beasts that could pounce at any time. Her pupils quietly changed. Her pitch-black eyes turned amber, and her pupils became vertical.
Hu Yan was immediately alarmed. At this moment, he heard light breathing coming from outside the door.
Someone was silently approaching their residence. It wasn't until they were close to the door that he realized something was wrong. If the other party was the attacker, without Choi Hana and San Wu, Hu Yan was sure that he wouldn't be able to react until his throat was slit.
