"Eli Yi, there is still some time before the meeting, and I am still free. Do you want my brother to play games with you today?" Yuan Zhisheng stood outside the door, gently pulled the door bolt, and asked softly.
In front of him was a wooden and paper partition door. On the opposite side of the partition door was the room where the head of the Uesugi family lived.
Even if Minamoto and Eri are as close as brother and sister, he will not rush into the girl's room. Before entering, he will always knock the door bolt lightly. When Eri hears the sound, she will open the door and let him in.
This is the default way of communication between them, similar to a secret code.
A bright fire lit up behind the door. It was probably Eri Yi who lit the candle. The candlelight projected the girl's figure on the paper window next door. Judging from the wide shadow, she knew that Eri Yi should be wearing her most common clothes.
That miko dress,
But to Minamoto's surprise, the girl's reflection on the other door shook her head, and Eriki actually refused her game invitation, which was something that rarely happened before.
Since Minamoto Chisei became the director of the executive bureau, his workload has increased exponentially, and he doesn't have much time to play games with Eri. The girl gradually regards Minamoto Chisei's playing games with her as a reward, so she often behaves like this
She is very well-behaved and thinks that as long as she is obedient, Yuan will play with her, and she will be very happy when playing with her.
"Don't you want to play games today?" Gen Zhisheng asked, "What about watching TV shows? Is there any anime or movie that Eri wants to watch?"
On the paper window next to the door, the girl's shadow still shook her head.
Yuan Zhisheng was startled.
He knew that Eriki seemed neither happy nor sad and had no interest in anything. In fact, she was a girl who was extremely afraid of being alone. However, almost no one could enter her inner world, and girls rarely opened their hearts to others.
But for some reason, Eri is naturally close to Minamoto. If someone could play games with her, Eri would never want to play games alone. If someone could accompany her to watch anime, Eri would never want to watch it alone.
She was born not to talk to others, so most of her communication with others relied on notes. On the first day that Minamoto came to this home, she noticed this special little girl. It wasn't until they got to know each other for a week that Eri handed her a hand.
He wrote a note, "Brother, do you want to play games together?" It was the first time Eri had invited an "outsider".
Yuan Zhisheng stood outside the door and was silent for a long time. A hint of worry gradually formed in his eyebrows. He asked slowly: "Eri is not feeling well, or is there something that makes her unhappy? Is there anything I can tell you?"
Brother, in a few days, brother will finish all his work and promise to play with you and take you around Tokyo to relax, okay?"
Eriyi in the room did not nod or shake her head. After a while, a folded note paper came out from the gap in the door panel. Gen Zhisheng took the note and unfolded it, with a marker pen writing thickly on it:
font:
"Brother is busy, don't worry, I will be obedient."
Yuan Zhisheng stared at the note for a long time, sighed silently, and placed a broad and warm hand on his shoulder from behind.
"Dad." Yuan Zhisheng knew who was coming without turning around, "Are you calling me to a meeting? Is the time for the meeting already up?"
"There are still fifteen minutes left before the meeting starts, but all the family heads are already here. This meeting is very important, and the family heads take it very seriously." Masamune Tachibana said, "I just received the news that Angers has already arrived a few hours ago.
Departed, now on a flight from Chicago to Tokyo, United Airlines flight AA153 will land at Narita Airport in a dozen hours."
"Principal Ange himself? Did he come alone?" Yuan Zhisheng was surprised.
"Yes, Ange updated his status on Twitter half an hour ago." Tachibana Masamune nodded, "'On the way to Japan, the seat next to me was actually a beautiful lady attending the Tokyo fashion show. Oh, it's really comparable.
As lucky as winning the lottery!'... This is his original text. At the end of the article, he also posted a photo with a blond model. The girl was giving him a kiss and looked very affectionate."
"It's just like the principal does. He came to Japan alone and still thought of chatting up girls."
"Ange does have such arrogant capital. Over the past sixty years, he has always felt that Japan is his back garden, and the Sheqi family is his gardener. The garden is left to the gardener to take care of, so Sixty
It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t come to visit for years.” Tachibana Masamune said, “Just because he doesn’t come to the back garden often doesn’t mean he has abandoned this place. His gardeners suddenly resigned en masse, and Ange finally thought of visiting this land.”
"It's natural for the principal to be angry. After all, we lost his best students." Thinking of those three lunatics, Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help but sigh.
"I know that you still have a grudge against me for stopping you from finding those three children, but you have to be clear, childish, that your position does not allow you to do this." Masamune Tachibana also sighed, "They should have been there at the extreme
Yuan was sacrificed in the plan, but survived for some unknown reason. If they really fell into the hands of the fierce ghosts, it would actually be a blessing for the family, at least Anger would..."
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Yuan Zhisheng shook his head, "Eliyi seems to have been in a bad mood since returning from the Jiyuan Project. Since you are here, dad, why don't you go in and see her?"
"Forget it for today." Tachibana Masamune shook his head.
"It's time for Eri to reach this age. It's normal for girls to be a little rebellious sometimes. Eri is not a bird in a cage. Sometimes we need to give our children a little space of their own." Tachibana Masamune glanced at the door in a vague way.
He looked at the girl's reflection and said, "Let's go, Zhisheng. Today is an extremely important day for you and the family. We still have a lot of things to prepare for. Don't keep the heads of the family waiting."
Yuan Zhisheng gently tapped the door bolt of the partition door twice, and the sound was clear and crisp. After a moment, there were two gentle tap sounds from inside the partition door, which was their signal to see each other again.
The footsteps gradually faded away. After Minamoto Chisei and Tachibana Masamune had completely left, the firelight cast a reflection on the partition. The girl took off her loose miko uniform, and her figure in the shadow was graceful and slender.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the room, Eri stepped on the red and white miko uniform and blew out the candle. At the last moment when the candle flickered, the flame lit up the miko uniform.
The crimson blood stains on the side panel are like flowers from the other side blooming on the clothes.
She walked into the large bathtub filled with water in the dark. Apart from playing games and watching anime with Minamoto, Eriki's favorite thing was to take a bath. For a girl of this age, the wide bathtub was like a
It's a little world of her own, and Eriyi can hide in it and play for a long time.
But the difference between today and the past is that as soon as Eri entered the bathtub, she completely soaked herself in the water and ran the water to clean her body.
Threads of red emerged from the bottom of the water and were washed away by the new water flow. They were blood stains. In the darkness, Eriyi's red gold pupils were so bright that it was shocking. The golden pupils were not lit by the girl on her own initiative, but by the influence of the girl.
The control area shines brightly, and the girl is actually injured.
Eriki immersed her entire body in the water. When she stood up, she was tall and slender, but when she curled up, she became a very small ball, like a cat.
She knelt down and touched her ankle. The originally delicate and soft ankle was now cold and stiff, and the sharp and hard scales had not faded away. Not only the ankle, but also a few stubborn fine scales on her back and neck.
scale.
The dilated and restless veins were climbing up her thighs and neck like iron-green spider webs, and the fine blood vessels were beating slightly under the skin like small snakes... This was the state of dragon transformation, which had not yet been completely lifted.
The dragon's blood was still restless in her body, but it was much better than the state she had just returned home.
This is why Eri refused Minamoto's game invitation. If Minamoto was allowed to come in, she would definitely find herself in an unhealed state. Eri didn't want Minamoto to see her current appearance. She was afraid of her brother.
Worried, and even more afraid that my brother would trace the cause of his injury.
In fact, she was not injured by anyone. The corpse guards and the rotten dragon were not capable of injuring her. Her injuries came from herself.
To be precise, she awakened her bloodline to an unprecedented extent for someone. She suppressed that person's bloodline that was about to go out of control, and she almost fell to the edge of losing control. Fortunately, everyone was safe in the end, and she transformed into a dragon.
The phenomenon is also fading away from the body bit by bit.
Eri opened her eyes in the dark water of the bathtub. She suddenly let go of a hand she had been clenching tightly. Fine bubbles rose and bubbled, and something floated up from the bottom of the water... It was a yellow rubber duck.
Just like the time she was three thousand meters under the deep sea not long ago, in an isolated place with no light around, except for sea water, she suddenly saw her little yellow duck in the water. Before she could be surprised, she
I fell into a big embrace.
If Eriki wants to break free, no hug in this world can trap her.
But when she saw the unconscious boy hugging her without fear, her hand dropped. This was the first time she was hugged by a boy, and she was hugged happily and dazedly.
It was so tight that she was at a loss.
Her name was shouted over and over again, right next to her ears, and she could even feel the heat wave erupting from the other person's body hitting her cheeks, like a warm wave washing her.
In her mind, something ignorant sprouted in her heart. For the first time, the girl felt that she was liked by someone, and she seemed to have become the biggest treasure in the world.
After an unknown amount of time, a series of big bubbles appeared on the hot water surface of the bathtub. Eriki remembered something and suddenly laughed happily underwater.
…
The elevator took Minamoto Chisheng and Tachibana Masamune all the way to the floor where Xingshen Temple is located, crossing the stream and small bridge.
The heads of each family were already waiting in the main hall. When Tachibana Masamune and Minamoto Chisei passed by them, all the heads of the houses stood up at the same time and bowed in salute.
Tachibana Masamune came to the first place, but he did not sit down in a hurry. Instead, he looked around at the family heads with different surnames and suddenly said:
"Everyone, this is the last time I speak to you from the position of the head of the family. I will resign from the position of the head of the eight Sheqi families. All positions will be taken over by the head of the Yuan family. From now on, Yuan Zhisheng will become the head of the family.
The new leader of the eight Sheqi families assumes the position of head of the family."
After saying these words, Tachibana Masamune came to the first seat and sat down at the side table. After the heads of the various families reacted, they also stood up and bowed deeply to Yuan Zhisheng.
Although this is not yet a formal inauguration ceremony, it is probably the most hasty change of head in the history of the Sheqihachi family. With just a few words, another person was replaced on the throne of the Yakuza Emperor.
Generally speaking, the position of the head of the family is lifelong. When the previous head of the family was unable to hold a knife or even think, he would lie sickly on the bed and say, "The future of the family... is entrusted to you young people."
”.
Speaking of young people, in fact, there were not many young people who succeeded the patriarch in the past. Not to mention the old men, they were basically middle-aged uncles who were halfway through their lives. Only with sufficient qualifications can they hold heavy authority.
Many parents are only qualified to show their ambitions in the position of head of the family when they reach Tachibana Masamune's age. Historically, it is unheard of for Minamoto to succeed as head of the family at such a young age.
But surprisingly, no family head of any family raised objections. Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding that Yuan Zhisheng was qualified to sit at the top of their list, even though every family head here was older and more mature than him.
He has qualifications, but it seems that only the young man sitting in that chair is a natural fit. He was born to be the emperor of the underworld.
However, the succession of the patriarch is only the beginning of today's meeting.
"Ange's plane should have arrived in the Pacific Ocean by now, and you should have seen the updates on his Twitter." The head of the Inuyama family said, "Not only that, he also sent me a text message."
The content of the text message was projected onto a large screen behind them.
[See you well, Aga. I am on the plane. The flight is United Airlines AA153. It is expected to land at Narita Airport at 4:35 pm. Remember to inform the heads of the Sheqi Eight Family, Silber
Ter-Jean Angers is here.]
"It's such a public tone, just like the emperor paid a private visit incognito and notified us to pick him up. He also specifically informed us of the flight number and arrival time," said the head of the Sakurai family.
"You're all right? He thinks that Japan is still where he was when he last came, and that the Snake Qibachi family is still the Snake Qibachi family from 60 years ago?" The head of the Feng Mo family had a stern look on his face, "Today's Snake Qibachi family doesn't need it.
Judging by the look on anyone’s face, if Angers comes to demonstrate in a high-profile manner, we will let him go back in disgrace.”
"Bie lai wu hao is just a modal word to him, not even a greeting." Inuyama Ga said, "In Ange's eyes, whether it is the Sheqi Hachi family or Europe, whether it is sixty years or one year,
He has always had this attitude for hundreds of years. Maybe you think he is demonstrating in a high-profile manner, but that’s because you don’t know Angers well enough. He doesn’t need to demonstrate deliberately at all.”
"The pride of Angers is engraved in his bones. There is no mixed race in the world who can keep up with him."
