Kuri Aoki, who was wearing a bright kimono, gently knocked on the barrier door. After getting permission, she opened the door and slowly entered. She bowed to the patriarch and the six elders: "Sorry, I'm late."
Her face was delicate, and her cheeks were rosy, completely different from her pale face when she returned to the family. She put on some light makeup in the car. It was very impolite to attend a high-level family meeting with a sickly look.
Etiquette had always been an important part of the Japanese bloodline families.
The patriarch and the elders were talking about the death of Iwasaki Emperor. As a family that shared glory and loss with the official organization, the patriarch and the elders were deeply worried.
It seemed that the conversation was not going to stop anytime soon. Kuri Aoki sat at the end and listened quietly.
"How can the official organization fight against the Tenshin Association without Iwasaki Emperor?" One of the elders said with a worried expression.
"It is indeed a pity to lose Iwasaki Emperor, but the Tenshin Association also doesn't have a half-step Supreme Master," another elder said.
"Then how do you explain Iwasaki Emperor's death?"
"This is the main reason why the official organization gathered us." Aoki Daisuke coughed and had a strange expression: "It is said that someone saw the Unparalleled Fighting Spirit in Kabukicho."
This
The elders looked at each other silently, and their expressions became more and more serious. They already knew about this, but they tacitly avoided talking about it. It was because once it was confirmed, the situation would become extremely troublesome.
No one, no force, was willing to become enemies with the Unparalleled Fighting Spirit.
Even if they could kill a peak Supreme Master, they would have to pay an immeasurable price. The chaos in Quanzhen caused by the Evil Dao Wang Chen was the best example.
Even if China's bloodline world had been passed down for thousands of years, and had a deep foundation, it still took several generations for them to recover.
Until now, Taoism was in a state of declining talent. In more than eighty years, they only had one Taoist Master, who was half-step Supreme Master, and he died half a year ago.
If the opponent was the Unparalleled Fighting Spirit, the Japanese bloodline world would not be able to withstand this kind of consumption. The official organization would probably have to negotiate and then "abdicate."
"Did the Li family's descendant really collude with the Tenshin Association? When did he come to Japan?" The white-haired elder gritted his teeth: "Damn it."
"This matter needs to be confirmed. The official organization has already sent an email to Bosch, and I believe we will receive an answer tomorrow." Aoki Daisuke gestured for the elders to calm down.
Kuri Aoki's eyebrows twitched. The official organization actually suspected that Li Xianyu and the Unparalleled Fighting Spirit killed Iwasaki Emperor.
But on second thought, it was normal. The official organization didn't know the existence of the Inami. and knew nothing about their enemy. is Inami Inami.
It was understandable that Iwasaki Teijin didn't reveal this to anyone, because if they knew that their opponent was an Inari, many families would secretly betray them and seek refuge with the Amami Society.
Moreover, before the Pantheon Palace opened, even Iwasaki Tadashi wasn't sure of Gu Yao's existence.
The official organization. and. to, and people of the organization., and, and said, and a, the. a, a, and had., and, and had, and had, and, one., and one.

It was impossible for Bosch to share confidential information with Japan.
If Li Xianyu had not confessed to me, I would have thought that it was the Unparalleled Fighting Spirit who killed Iwasaki Emperor and that Li Xianyu was working with the Tenshin Association.
"I don't think it's possible. Do you remember the Soul Extermination Alliance?" A rational elder analyzed. "The Sakurai family and Li Xianyu have a grudge. It's impossible for him to join the Tenshin Association."
Kuri Aoki was happy that her second uncle was the IQ of the Aoki family when he was young. There were many smart people in the family. She believed that the official organization had some as well.
"Kuri, do you have anything to report?" Aoki Daisuke remembered the main topic of the family meeting. He looked at Kuri Aoki and asked.
The elders looked at her.
Kuri Aoki did not speak immediately. Instead, she thought about it. With the death of Iwasaki Emperor, the official organization could no longer compete with the Tenshin Association.
Just imagine, if Gu Yao were to make a dazzling appearance at this time, there would definitely be many bloodline clans that would change sides and join the Kami Society.
If the official organization wanted to continue fighting, they would need a leader. Moreover, it must be an expert who could fight against Gu Yao.
Li Xianyu was a good candidate. He had the strength to fight against Gu Yao. Although he was not a member of the Bloodline World, it should not be a problem for him to be a temporary leader.
Currently, the official organization suspected that Li Xianyu was the murderer who killed Iwasaki Emperor. It was not difficult to clarify this matter, but it was not easy either. If Gu Yao did not show up, then Li Xianyu would not have any evidence to prove himself.
If he had the support of the Aoki family, his authority would increase. With the Aoki family's connections in the official organization, he could persuade the other families and play an important role. But I am not the head of the family, nor am I an elder. I must convince them.
"Head of the family, elders, Kuri Aoki did something big tonight. "Last night, Li Xianyu and I went to Kabukicho, where we witnessed Iwasaki Tachito's death. Li Xianyu was indeed involved in this matter, but I swear on the Aoki family's honor that he wasn't Iwasaki Tachito's murderer. On the contrary, he and Iwasaki Tachito were comrades-in-arms, and their common enemy was the Ancient Demon," Kurumi Aoki revealed the confidential information with a solemn expression.
The meeting room fell into a strange silence. The elders and the head of the family looked at each other, speechless.
Kuri Aoki paused for ten seconds to give them enough time to digest the information. Just when she was about to continue, Daisuke Aoki raised his hand and interrupted her, "Bean Bag, please explain what you said about you and Li Xianyu going to Kabukicho."
Daisuke Aoki rubbed his forehead. He wondered if he and Kuri Aoki were living in the same world.
In his world, the battle between the Tenjin Association and the government was only a battle between the descendants of the same country. There were no fancy inside stories.
But according to Kuri Aoki, Li Xianyu and the Unparalleled Fighting Soul had unknowingly participated in it. Apart from that, he also heard about Gu Yao.
She just said Gu Yao, right?
But what confused him the most was that from Kuri Aoki's tone, it seemed like she already knew that Li Xianyu was in Japan, and she even acted together with him?
The elders looked at their head with gratification. It was not easy for him to accurately find the main point in a series of words that did not seem to make sense.
Kuri Aoki pursed her lips, which were smeared with lipstick, and said, "Actually, actually, Li Peiyun is Li Xianyu."
what
are
you
What are you doing?
One by one, stiff faces turned to look at Kuri Aoki.
Did she just say that Li Peiyun is the descendant of the Li family?!
How could Li Peiyun be the descendant of the Li family? Li Peiyun is the son-in-law of our Aoki family. The Three Talents Sword Technique belongs to our Aoki family, and the pillar of the half-step Ji Dao also belongs to our Aoki family.
Li Peiyun was elegant and dignified. How could a gentleman like Li Xianyu, that slut, deserve this!
I can't accept this reality. Daisuke Aoki raised his glass with trembling hands and took a sip of sake. "Kuri, don't joke around. This is a family meeting, a very serious place."
I'll give you a chance to take back what you just said.
"Yes, the Li Peiyun you saw was Li Xianyu in disguise." Kuri Aoki's voice was soft, but her tone was firm.
"I don't believe it." An elder slammed the table angrily.
Kuri Aoki looked over and recognized him as the elder who accompanied Daisuke Aoki to the hot spring that day.
"There's one more piece of evidence." Kuri Aoki hesitated. "Li Xianyu merged with the remains of a succubus, so he has the power of seduction. Don't you and the master think that he's very likable and makes people want to get close to him? "
She was implying that the master and the elder had intentionally or unintentionally gotten close to Li Xianyu when they were in the hot spring, and had made physical contact with him.
“”
“”
Daisuke Aoki and the elder looked at each other in silence, as if they could see the tears in each other's eyes.
At this point, Li Xianyu's identity was basically confirmed. There was no need to continue debating.
"What's with the Ancient Demon that you mentioned? Is there an Ancient Demon in Japan? Is the death of Emperor Iwasaki related to the Ancient Demon? "Daisuke Aoki asked.
"It's a long story …"
Kuri Aoki told the Patriarch and the Elders everything she knew in full detail. This included the existence of the Pantheon Palace Master, the existence of the Ancient Demon, and the fruit that they were fighting for.
These were the secrets that only the master of the Pantheon Palace knew, and no one would take the initiative to tell you.
For a force like the Aoki Family, even if they knew about these things, they had no right to interfere.
Of course, she hid the fact that Li Xianyu had used Time Reversal. This was an absolute secret, and no one was allowed to reveal it.
This time, the upper echelons of the Aoki Family were completely shocked, and it took them a long time to recover. When they finally did, no one spoke.
Kuri Aoki looked at the faces of the master and the elders and knew what they were thinking. They wanted to retreat, and they wanted to extricate themselves from this storm.
"Master, everyone, Emperor Iwasaki has fallen. The only ones in Japan that can fight against the Ancient Demon are the descendants of the Li family and the Unparalleled Fighting Soul. This is our country, our territory. The Aoki Family has no reason to retreat. " Kuri Aoki straightened her back and said righteously, "Kuri Aoki believes that the family should cooperate with the descendants of the Li family to fight against the Ancient Demon together."
"We still don't know if what you said is true." One of the elders said in a low voice.
"If it's false, the family won't suffer any losses, right?" Kuri Aoki said lightly.
"But if the Ancient Demon really exists in this world, and it is our enemy, the Aoki Family should seek the advantages and avoid the disadvantages, and not fight to the death with it." Daisuke Aoki said after some consideration.
"The Aoki Family has spent dozens of years to get over the low point, and it was not easy for us to get back to where we are today. Are you willing to give up? Decades or even hundreds of years later, it will be recorded in the family's history that the Aoki Family was weakened in your hands, because you were like a coward. You gave up the power to protect the family's interests, and handed over the family's foundation to someone else. "
Daisuke Aoki opened his mouth, but he was speechless.
He wanted to reprimand Kuri Aoki, but he realized that all the elders were looking at him.
As the family head, even if the elders were afraid, he couldn't openly follow his heart. It would make people think that he was a responsible family head, and it would affect his reputation and image.
It was like the ancient emperors who were obsessed with abalone and attacked the country every night. If they delayed national affairs, the officials would push the blame to the woman, saying that the emperor was not wrong, and that it was all a femme fatale.
The importance of one's image and reputation could be seen.
An emperor who issued an edict was a pitiful person who had lost all face.
Daisuke Aoki didn't want to become the Aoki Family Head who issued an edict.
Second Great Uncle coughed. "How about this, we'll look at the situation in Japan first. Unless it's absolutely necessary, we won't back down. Kuri Aoki's words make sense. If the Li family's successor can help the government fight against the Ancient Demon, what's the harm in temporarily supporting him? The family is ours, and so is the country.
"Of course, Family Head's concerns are reasonable. It was not easy for the Aoki Family to build this family business, and we should cherish it even more. So, my suggestion is to continue fighting, but secretly transfer a portion of the family's assets overseas. Don't put all your eggs in one basket, it's such a simple principle. "
Second Great Uncle cast a gratified look at Kuri Aoki.
Unknowingly, the little girl had finally grown up, and was gradually showing her own style.
Kuri Aoki secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She felt like Zhuge Kongming from China's history, sparring with the Confucian scholars.
Just then, one of the elders asked, "I have another question."
Kuri Aoki immediately straightened her back, her expression solemn as she prepared to receive the elder's verbal attack.
"Did you have sex with Li Xianyu?" The elder's eyes lit up.
"…" Kuri Aoki opened her mouth, but her burning desire to fight was extinguished by a bucket of cold water. She thought to herself, "The older, the wiser.
I'm still a pure and beautiful girl, not tainted by the Demon Beast's successor. "
Kuri Aoki wanted to wave him off, but her heart skipped a beat. She couldn't be any clearer about the family head and the elders' thoughts. Although they were satisfied with Li Peiyun and disdainful of Li Xianyu, they were actually a group of people who were "really good".
If the person she had hooked up with wasn't Li Peiyun, but Li Xianyu, they would have been very happy and excited. They would have had absurd thoughts like "Maybe true love is invincible".
Or "Only my Kuri Aoki can have children".
Although the Li family's successor was a pervert, and she didn't like him at all, she had no choice but to do it now. Let him take advantage of her.
So, Kuri Aoki didn't reply, but lowered her head.
Sometimes, silence was the answer.
The family head and the elders looked at each other, and saw the restlessness in each other's hearts.
Daisuke Aoki said bitterly, "Stupid, muddle-headed. You know he's Li Xianyu, and you're still with him? Don't you know the history of the Unparalleled Fighting Soul? Do you think he's a good partner? "
Kuri Aoki said weakly, "He's very good to me …"
The Li family's successor's attitude towards her had indeed changed, and it wasn't a lie.
Not bad to her.
Daisuke Aoki and the elders looked at each other again, and found that they all had the same thought: It's worth a try!
