"Raiden Yuryu, how are you doing in America?" A man in a kimono came over and saw Raiden Yuryu holding his daughter while playing in the water. He smiled dumbly. It turned out that he was the only one in the entire Raiden family.
I haven't grown up.
"Oh, forget it, I work overtime every day." Leiden Youlong pulled up his daughter Leiden Meiyi to prevent the sea water from getting into her body.
"It seems like you haven't returned to your residence for three years. You are the only one in the Thunder and Lightning family who has broken the rules." The man glanced sideways at Thunder and Lightning Youlong. The rule the man mentioned was naturally that after Xu Tuan woke up, all the Thunder and Lightning family members broke the rules.
The rules set in front of you.
They have to live in the residence for three days every year, and Xu Tuan needs to find an apprentice.
It's just a pity that over the years, people have changed one after another. The Thunder and Lightning family themselves are not up to par, and no one is worthy of Xu Tuan. And Thunder and Lightning Youlong has also been working in the Americas since he went to America due to his anti-entropy work.
There are very few opportunities to return to the residence.
After getting married and having children in America, I didn't return to Japan for three years.
Fortunately, he was relatively "invisible" in the Thunder and Lightning family. Except for the first year when he was not discovered by anyone, he seemed to be ignored for the other two years. No one noticed that a member of the Thunder and Lightning family did not come back.
Also speaking from the side, people began to not pay attention to this rule, or for them, the chance of being selected by Xu Tuan was as small as zero, and it was almost the same whether they came or not.
"Shh. Please keep your voice down. This time I am bringing Mei Yi back to visit relatives, so no one will find out that I haven't been here for three years."
"I don't want to be scolded." Raiden Youlong immediately made a silent gesture and said to the man in kimono.
"You, you." The man shook his head helplessly.
Set your sights on Mei Torai, a three-year-old girl.
"That's little Mei Yi." The man greeted Mei Yi affectionately.
Xiao Yayi tugged on the leg of Leiden Youlong's trousers, her eyes were a little evasive, and she looked very afraid of strangers.
"Don't be afraid, little Yayi, this is uncle." Leiden Youlong naturally knew that his daughter was afraid of being born. In fact, Leiden Youlong had always blamed himself for his daughter's introversion.
After all, Mei stayed with him every day, but he was not at home every day, living in the laboratory all year round. Mei spent most of her time alone, and the only person she could communicate with was her nanny.
Growing up in a secluded environment, Meiyi always felt a little fearful when seeing strangers.
"Hey, do I look that fierce?"
"I think back then, I was also the most beautiful cub in Hokkaido." Seeing Mei's fearful appearance, Mei's uncle shook his shoulders helplessly, and said with a regretful and narcissistic look on his face.
"Uncle...Hello, uncle." Mei also knew that she was very rude like this. Although she was afraid in her heart, she still shouted timidly in a childish voice.
"Okay, okay, Mei is very brave." The man stepped forward and touched Mei's head, which made Leiden Youlong mutter, "This hair is not easy to comb, and when you rub it, it becomes messy again."
"You Long, are you planning to let Mei Yi go to Patriarch Xu to study under you this time?" The man elbowed Lei Dian You Long's arm and said with a smile.
"I would like to, but Patriarch Xu probably won't accept Yayi as his disciple." Lei Dian Youlong laughed softly.
After all, there are so many juniors in the Thunder and Lightning family, but Xu Tuan doesn't like any of them, so why should he like his daughter and accept him as his apprentice?
"It's possible that Ya Yi has never returned to her home since she was born in America. Naturally, ancestor has never seen Ya Yi. Maybe ancestor Xu has taken a liking to Ya Yi?"
"If someone likes you, wouldn't you be rich?"
"After all, the elders have all said that they have witnessed the majestic scene of Patriarch Xu cutting the sea with his own eyes."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." The man faced the sea breeze and looked at the rough sea.
"Cutting the sea with one sword is so majestic."
After sighing, he looked at Thunder Dragon and said.
"Let's go, there will be a fireworks display in a while, and it's also the time for our Raiden family members to go see Patriarch Xu." The man, wearing a kimono and wooden geta, holding a tachi in his hand, said to Raiden Yulong.
Leiden Youlong nodded, took Meidu's hand, and walked towards his ancestral home.
Raiden Meiyi didn't know why, but she kept staring at the tachi beside her uncle, refusing to let go, showing that she had a strong interest in the tachi.
However, none of the Thunder and Lightning brothers paid attention to little Mei Yi's little actions. The two brothers had not seen each other for three years, so naturally they had a lot to talk about.
The two of them chatted and came to the courtyard. As usual, everyone gathered in the courtyard. Although there was a little bit of expectation for Patriarch Xu to find his apprentice, everyone knew that there was a high probability of this.
Once again, it will be like usual and let it go.
It is a tradition to return to the residence every year on this day.
As long as there is nothing major, they will return to their ancestral home during this time to establish good relations with their cousins.
Watching the fireworks blooming in the sky, Mei finally turned her eyes away from her uncle's sword and looked at the gorgeous fireworks in the sky.
"Ancestor Xu is out." I don't know who said it first. Everyone turned their eyes away and lowered their heads slightly, not daring to look directly at the family leader and Xu Tuan.
The head of the Leiden family followed Xu Tuan. Xu Tuan looked around and found a few new faces, but most of them were old faces.
These people had poor qualifications. Xu Tuan did not accept him as his apprentice, and Leiden Meiyi's uncle was just a half-disciple with Leiden Youlong.
At first, he was dismissed by Xu Tuan because of his qualifications, but his love for swords far exceeded that of other members of the Thunder and Lightning family. There is no doubt that he is a martial arts fanatic.
One day, while he was still practicing swordplay in the courtyard, he was given two pointers by Xu Tuan who was passing by. Therefore, he could be regarded as half of Xu Tuan's apprentice.
However, this half-disciple was also trying to show off his reputation. He strongly suspected that Xu Tuan was too full to sleep, so he came out to take a look, but he couldn't stand his shoddy martial arts, so he gave some pointers.
Just as Xu Tuan was looking around, he suddenly saw a new face.
He walked forward and came to the side of Thunder Dragon.
"Hello, ancestor." He didn't know why Xu Tuan came to him, but Leiden Youlong still greeted Xu Tuan according to the rules.
Everyone turned their attention to the Thunder Dragon. Some people felt a little strange when they saw the Thunder Dragon. Of course, it was mainly because they had not seen it for many years and they couldn't recognize it.
Xu Tuan didn't pay attention to the thunder and lightning dragon, but instead looked at the thunder and lightning Mei Yi.
Raiden Mei imitated her father and lowered her head slightly.
Xu Tuan touched Mei Yi's head, and her smooth purple hair was messed up again.
"Why haven't I seen Xiao Nizi before?" Hearing Xu Tuan's question, Lei Dian Youlong slapped his head, knowing that his absence from home for three years would finally be exposed.
"Back to my ancestor, I have been in America for three years. Because I was busy with things, I couldn't spare the time to bring her back to meet my ancestor." Lei Dian Youlong said bravely.
Xu Tuan glanced at Thunder Dragon. He knelt down and spoke to Mei Yi with a friendly smile on his handsome face.
"What's your name, kid?"
"My name is Leiden Mei, and I am three years old this year." Xiao Mei said in a low voice.
Xu Tuan smiled slightly and continued talking to Xiao Yayi.
"Would you like to be uncle's apprentice?"
As soon as these words were said, the whole place fell into silence, and everyone looked at the thunder and lightning dragon as if they were looking at a ghost.
