Ahem, but after becoming a master, you can no longer call me uncle or brother. This made the little guy couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but more importantly, he was happy to be able to stick to his master confidently and logically.
Not to mention Nuliang Liban's deepest thoughts, as far as Qiao Xi was concerned, he originally thought of just strolling around Edo, but he never expected that he would just stroll around Edo.
An apprentice.
Although Qiao Xi, who had an apprentice for the first time, was not particularly skilled at this matter, he still stayed in Edo very responsibly.
Because he had to live for a long time, Qiao Xi simply bought a house and business and a series of things related to daily life. While educating his only apprentice, he was doing business in the human world until Nuliang Liban fully grew into a big monster who could stand on his own.
By that time, Qiao Xi had already lived in Edo for more than ten years.
At this time, many changes have taken place in the human world.
However, as an honest but mysterious businessman, the changes in the human world did not have much impact on Qiao Xi. He even took advantage of the changes in the human political system to negotiate with several Onmyoji.
The aristocratic family has business contacts, and because of its mysterious abilities, it has also gained a lot of fame on the "this side".
…
Qiao Xi sat at the desk and looked at the letter in her hand. Her fingertips were tapping on the table regularly, with a thoughtful expression on her face. Just when he was thinking deeply, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.
It rang out: "My lord."
The voice was a bit fiery in the courtyard, but when he spoke to Qiao Xi at the door of the study, it already sounded very calm.
Qiao Xi was contemplated and thought, her eyebrows slightly raised, she knocked on the table for a moment, then put the letter she was looking at on the table with her backhand, raised her head and looked towards the door, and saw a familiar face.
The monster is waiting at the door.
The monster has short black hair and a pair of wings behind his back. He is a child of Crow Tengu, the right-hand man of Nura Huayou, and his name is Kurohamaru.
Kurohanamaru has a very responsible and conscientious character, and often travels between Qiao Xi's place and the Nura Group as a messenger. His ambition since childhood is to take over his father's team and follow the Nura Group's second generation to become the backbone of the Nura Group.
However, in Qiao Xi's view, Kurohanamaru was still a minor, looking less than ten years old as a human cub, and the way he stood at the door with a serious face looked a bit interesting.
Qiao Xi smiled and asked him with interest: "What's wrong? What did Li Ban do again?"
——The word "again" seems very spiritual, and Kurohanmaru couldn't help looking at Qiao Xi with a look of great admiration and praised: "As expected of Fengyue-sama, I haven't even said what happened.
I have already guessed that it has something to do with Mr. Liban."
Qiao Xi: "..."
Qiao Xi was speechless for a moment.
There is a saying that after decades of being a master of Nuliang Liban, it would be even weirder if he couldn't even guess the temperament of his own apprentice.
With this thought in mind, Qiao Xi quietly brought Kurohan Wan in and sat down, and then asked in detail what happened.
Speaking of which, I don’t know if it’s a problem with Qiao Xi’s education – of course, Qiao Xi himself has always refused to admit it – or if Nuliang Huaiao’s own genes are full of all kinds of trouble-making rebellious elements, which led to
The more Nuliang Liban thinks about it, the more...it's hard to describe his character?
Compared to the arrogance and unruliness of Nuliang Huelao, Nuliang Liban has a kind of elegance and dignity unique to the aristocracy due to the upbringing of Yingji and Qiao Xi, which is integrated with the ancestral (?) ruffianism of the Nuliang family.
People often have the feeling of "Ah, I really want to beat this guy to death, but seeing his delicate and lovely face and mouth that is sweeter than honey, I feel a little reluctant to do so".
Although the face of Nura Liban, who is now fully grown, is more appropriate to be described as handsome rather than cute.
Well, none of that matters.
Qiao Xi had no interest in discussing with Kurohanmaru, who was still a child, what it was like to watch the cub he raised by himself grow and become more and more bearish.
What a moth.
Kurohanamaru is an excellent intelligence officer who strives to be like his father. Although he is not yet an adult, he is already very reliable.
Today, he is also upholding the unique loyalty of his family. Ever since he was ordered by his father to follow the second generation goal, he has been firmly following Nuliang Liban to maintain his presence.
——It’s also difficult for Nuliang Liban to continue to do mischief unswervingly when there is a nagging ear-retribution god behind him every time he does mischief.
Ahem, that’s too far off topic.
In short, it was the same day as usual. Kurohamaru accidentally discovered that the second-generation Koiban-sama was missing again. After launching a wave of crows to patrol the sky in all directions, Nura Koiban was quickly found again.
figure.
At that time, Nuliang Liban was performing his duties as a second-generation man who loved to expand his territory.
To put it simply, he was carrying the Yamiki Maru and running with an irresistible force to a certain nook and cranny to collect some troublesome monster.
Perhaps Nuliang Liban had some skills similar to those of the protagonist in a detective film, or a physique that naturally attracts accidents. I thought it was a small thing at first, but in the end it turned out to be a big deal.
The territory of the Nura-gumi is in Edo, which is probably the accepted fact among the local monsters in Edo.
After Nuliang Liban took over the Nuliang Group, the talented and restless half-demon led his Hundred Demon Night March to expand his territory step by step, conquering many extraordinary monsters during the process.
It has been a while since Edo, which has become stable now, has seen a monster organization that dared to challenge the Nura Group openly. So, one day, when legends about monsters began to spread in Edo, the bored Nura carp
My companion immediately ran over to watch.
——An unknown monster suddenly appeared on his own territory. As the current leader of the largest local monster organization, it was natural for Nuliang Liban to go and watch.
It doesn’t seem to be a big deal at first. It is said that a very ferocious monster appeared in legend. This monster not only eats people, but also eats other monsters. Although it sounds a bit inexplicable, it seems to be serious when it is said. However, you
When you try to trace its origin, you will find that this legend is completely groundless.
Nuliang Liban initially thought it was just a prank, but it was over, so he just wandered there for a while - and then he easily discovered the manipulator behind it.
