Ye Qiu, who was desperately trying to hide his true rank, had no way to say any more. Xiaohui, who heard what she said, burst into tears and laughed after crying for a while.

After that, another period passed, and one day, the five members of the family except Keita fought against various enemies together. And Keita took the funds that he had saved up to negotiate with the seller about buying a house for the family headquarters, so he didn't act with everyone.

At that time, the area where everyone went was a forest that had already been explored, but there were still unexplored areas in it. As they were about to leave, one of the members found what seemed to be some treasure or something.

Although Ye Qiu advocated not opening it at that time, because near the front line, the monster strength was very strong, and the ability of the members to remove the trap was also very worrying. But the only people who opposed it were Ye Qiu and Xiaohui, and after voting, they decided to open the treasure chest with a vote of three to two.

It turned out to be arguably the worst alarm trap among the many traps. As soon as it was opened, a sharp alarm sounded, and all the entrances to the forest were flooded with countless monsters. Everyone wanted to run away right away.

But I didn't expect it to be a double trap. That treasure becomes a space from which there is no escape.

The number of monsters was so large that there was no way to support it, and the members fell into a panic because of this. I used a trick that had been hidden until now, hoping to make a way out, but the panicked members didn't have time to get out of the passage, and the monsters mercilessly killed them, and then screamed until the end.

At that time, Ye Qiu thought in his heart that he would at least rescue the girl, and kept waving the sword in his hand.

But after all, it was too late. I saw that Xiaohui desperately stretched out her hand in order to ask for help from herself, but the monster's sword still ruthlessly cut her to the ground. Even after her body was dyed red, her eyes were still convinced that she would save her.

She is so convinced and hoping for the help of the second ball. Just because his sentence was unfounded and weak, it really became a lie in the end.

Keita prepares the keys to the new headquarters and waits for everyone to return to the hotel that everyone has been using as their headquarters. When Ye Qiu was the only one left alive and returned to the hotel, explaining to Keita what happened, he listened without saying a word, and only asked Ye Qiu after he finished speaking, "Why are you the only one who came back alive".

Ye Qiu told him his true strength.

Keita glanced at Ye Qiu with eyes as if he was looking at some kind of monster, and only said one sentence in his mouth.

"People like you are not qualified to join us at all."

This sentence split Ye Qiu like a sword of steel.

“…… That man...... What happened to ......?" Fang Wuxian saw that Ye Qiu didn't continue for a long time, so he asked.

"Committed suicide. ”

Fang Wuxian, who was sitting in the chair, shook his body.

He jumped from the enclosure of the family headquarters. I think he must have been cursing me by the end...... ......."

I felt like I couldn't make a sound. The memories that were originally sealed in the depths of my heart were vividly awakened because of this first confession. So Ye Qiu clenched his teeth. Although he wanted the other party to reach out to seek her salvation, the cry of "you are not qualified to ......" in his heart made Ye Qiu only clench his fists.

"I killed everyone. If they didn't hide their strength, they would have believed that the trap was really very dangerous at that time. It's me...... I killed Keita...... And Xiaohui ......"

Ye Qiu's eyes widened and he squeezed the words out of his clenched teeth.

Fang Wuxian suddenly stood up, took two steps forward and held Ye Qiu's face with both hands. Her beautiful face with a serene smile leaned into Ye Qiu's eyes.

"I'm not going to die. ”

It sounded like a murmur, but it was unusually clear. Ye Qiu, whose whole body was stiff, suddenly relaxed.

"Because, what about me...... I'm going to protect you. 」

After speaking, Fang Wuxian hugged my head tightly to his chest. Ye Qiu felt that the gentle and warm darkness was covering him.

If you close your eyes, you can see the people of the Moonlit Night family sitting on the orange hotel counter in the depths of your memory.

You can never be forgiven. There can be no atonement either.

Even so, at this time, they seem to have a slight smile on their faces in their memory.

The next morning, Ye Qiu put on the dazzling blue coat and set off with Fang Wuxian to the mission destination.

From today on, I will act as the Lantian family. Having said that, the original rule that a group of five people would fight in a group of five people had also changed to a team of two people because of the special privilege of the deputy patriarch Fang Wuxian, so the actual situation was no different from before.

It's just that what awaits the two of them at the family headquarters is an unexpected order.

"Cultivation?"

"That's right. A group of four family members, including me, entered from the eastern part of the Murada Forest and exited through the southern exit. ”

During the previous interview with Long Yijian, one of the four people at the same table said this to Ye Qiu. He is a tall man with messy curly hair who appears to be a man who fights with an axe.

"Wait a minute, Nan Haowei, Ye Qiu will be ...... by me"

Facing Fang Wuxian, who was in hot pursuit, that Nan Haowei raised one eyebrow and replied with a big stab, or should I say an unceremonious attitude:

"Even if you're the deputy patriarch, you can't ignore discipline. Forget about the actual attack and battle team. But at least I, the person in charge of commanding the striker, have to assess his quality. Even if you are a lone wanderer, you don't know if it will come in handy. ”

"With Ye Qiu's strength, I won't cause trouble for a guy like you......"

Ye Qiu stopped Fang Wuxian, who was already a little crazy, and then spoke:

"If you want to see it, let it be seen. It's just that I don't want to waste time in this kind of forest. It shouldn't matter if you break through in one go, right?"

The man named Nan Haowei closed his mouth unhappily, and finally left with only the sentence "Gather at the west gate of the town in thirty minutes", and left with heavy steps.

"What an attitude!"

Fang Wuxian angrily kicked down the iron pillar next to him with his boots.

"I'm sorry, Ye Qiu. I knew I should have listened to you, and the two of us would have gone find a place to farm......"

"If I do that, I'll be cursed to death by my family members. ”

Ye Qiu smiled and gently put his hand on Fang Wuxian's head.

"Woo, I thought we could be together all the time today...... Then I'll go with you......"

"I'll be back soon. Just wait here for a while. ”

"Hmm...... Then be careful......"
