"...... this?"

Looking at the handsome man in mid-air with black wings, long hair and blue eyes, Jiang Yao suddenly remembered the Heavenly Divine Bird that fell from the sky during the decisive battle in the Netherworld.

"You, you're ...... Three-legged black!?"

Jiang Yao recognized the other party and was immediately surprised, while Lu Xingyue on the side put on a bitter gourd face, looking like she had been caught on the spot.

I said...... My injuries have long been healed, don't follow me crookedly all day long, your behavior is called a 'stalker' in the world, understand??" Lu Xingyue looked at the three-legged black that folded his wings and landed in front of him, and shouted dissatisfiedly, while taking two steps back and hiding behind Jiang Yao.

"Hmph, I don't know what you're thinking, I brought you back to the realm to let you live well, not to send you to death. ”

The three-legged black snorted coldly, his long black hair fluttering gently in the breeze, and his turquoise pupils were full of disdain.

"Bring it. ”

The three-legged Wu said, and stretched out his hand to Lu Xingyue, who was hiding behind Jiang Yao.

"What...... What 'take or not take', I don't know what you're talking about. Lu Xingyue quibbled, but her eyes unconsciously moved to the side.

"It's useless to talk too much. It seemed that he was too lazy to talk too much nonsense, and the three-legged black finger lightly hooked Lu Xingyue, and in the next moment, the two "ghost city invitations" hidden in Lu Xingyue's arms suddenly floated out automatically, and in the blink of an eye, they were pinched in the hands of the three-legged black.

"Damn, give it back to me!" As soon as he saw that the treasure he had won so hard to get his hands on was taken away like this, even Lu Xingyue couldn't help but feel a little "angry". He hurriedly dodged and ran out from behind Jiang Yao, rushed to the three-legged crow and stretched out his hand to recapture the invitation, but unfortunately due to the height gap, the three-legged crow gently raised his hand and let Lu Xingyue "pounce" into the air.

"Bastard, it's a good thing to be bad, what the hell do you want to do??" Lu Xingyue gritted her teeth.

"I said, if you get one of this 'ghost market invitation', I won't confiscate one, and I will do what I say. Three-legged Wu said coldly. "The situation of the 'ghost market' is complicated, especially this year, the situation is even more sinister, and all forces will inevitably do whatever it takes to compete for the Soul Suppression Stone. With your injured body, to participate is to die. ”

"Even if I go to die, it has nothing to do with you! You are not my person!" Lu Xingyue choked back.

"Hmph, since you are the righteous son of the blue bird, I can't sit idly by. In the face of Lu Xingyue's reprimand, the three-legged black did not waver in the slightest. "I promised Bluebird to take good care of you for him, so even if you don't want to, I will fulfill my promise. ”

"You ......!" Lu Xingyue was speechless, she wanted to say anything but couldn't say it, and Jiang Yao also wanted to laugh a little when she looked aggrieved.

"Ahem, that ...... Xingyue, if your injuries are not healed, don't go to the 'Ghost Market' this time, right?" Jiang Yao considered his words and opened his mouth to persuade.

"No!" Lu Xingyue turned her head and yelled loudly. "The reason why I am desperately rehabilitating and looking for clues everywhere is to catch the murderer who killed my stepfather with the Soul Suppression Stone! This is the whole point of me standing here now! Now that there is finally news of the Soul Suppression Stone, but let me let it go in vain? This is impossible!"

"......" Looking at Lu Xingyue's sad eyes and trembling body, Jiang Yao couldn't help but feel a little unbearable in his heart. To be honest, if he and Lu Xingyue's positions were reversed, he would not hesitate to choose to participate in the "Ghost Market" to investigate the murderer behind the scenes, even if he dragged his injuries......

"Since he wants to go so much, let him go. ”

Just when the stalemate was stalemate, a lazy and familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind everyone, and even if Jiang Yao didn't look back, he could already guess who it was.

"Gluttony?"

The three-legged black glanced at the red-haired man who was slowly coming out of the shadows, his expression moving slightly, but he quickly calmed down.

"Why, are you going to meddle in my business too?"

"Hehe, I was just here to pick up that kid, but I didn't expect it to be so lively here. Tao Tao pointed at Jiang Yao, who was full of surprise, and then looked at the three-legged black. "Don't worry, I don't have the heart to mind your business, but there is one thing I have to remind you, human beings' 'obsession' is very terrible, even if you can stop him for a while, you can stop it for a lifetime?"

"......" The three-legged black stared at the gluttony indifferently and did not answer.

"Let's take this 'little friend' of our family as an example, even if he stops again and again, he still makes trouble for me again and again, and he can't change it. Gluttony stepped forward with a smile, reached out and rubbed Jiang Yao's head vigorously, as if he was touching a disobedient puppy, and such a sudden "spoiling" move caught Jiang Yao off guard, and he was so embarrassed that he was about to "petrify".

However, later I also figured out that adults have their own consciousness and opinions, and instead of restricting him from doing this and that, it is better to let him go. Besides, even if he encounters any danger, won't I still be there?"

Gluttony stared at the three-legged black and said calmly.

"It's counterproductive to be too protective, and I think if it was a blue bird, I would respect the wishes of his son. ”

"Hmph...... That's it. The three-legged crow shook his head, as if he had finally given up on insisting. I saw him wave his hand, and the two black cards flew out in response, easily caught by the gluttonous two fingers.

"I can give them the 'ghost market invitation', but you must also know the dangers of participating in the 'ghost market', especially the physique of 'your little friend'. The three-legged black glanced at Tao Tao and Jiang Yao, and then moved his gaze to Lu Xingyue.

"Three days later, the Qingming Festival is the day when the 'ghost market' opens, and I will follow you on this trip to the capital, and I will take you away immediately if I find any danger. ”

"Well, but ......"

"No rebuttal is accepted. ”

"Whew—"

Without waiting for Lu Xingyue to speak again, the three-legged black crow suddenly spread his black wings, and when the entangled wind dissipated, there was no longer a three-legged crow figure on the roof.

"That's it...... Gone?"

After such a fuss about the three-legged black, Jiang Yao's head was also a little confused for a while, but he soon seemed to remember something, and quickly turned his head to look at the red-haired man beside him.

"Gluttony...... Y-Why are you here?"

"As I said earlier, I was going to pick you up, but now it seems that you have caused a lot of trouble...... Is it just for this thing?" Gluttony looked at Lu Xingyue with a complicated face, and opened a "ghost market invitation" in his hand and glanced at it.

"Soul Stone...... Oh, no wonder there are so many rules and regulations in this year's "ghost market". ”

"This year's 'Ghost Market' will auction the Soul Stone, regardless of whether it is true or not, but it is always a clue, and I will never let it go. Jiang Yao observed the gluttonous expression and hurriedly said.

"Don't worry, I said it just now, I didn't plan to stop you. Since you've decided to go, go for it. ”

Gluttony said, casually stuffing the two black cards into Lu Xingyue's hands. The latter took the card in surprise, looked up at the glutton, and seemed to want to say something, but finally chose to shut up.

"Then this time, will you also go to the 'ghost market'?" Jiang Yao asked.

"Yes, if I don't look at you well, I don't know what kind of moth I'm going to provoke. Gluttony shrugged, his eyes swept over the turquoise lavalier on Jiang Yao's neckline, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly. "But since you can think of taking precautions in advance, it's not too stupid. ”

"By the way, speaking of the matter of the Soul Suppression Stone this time...... is it already known to the 'Spirit Imperial Terrace'?" Jiang Yao asked again.

"Even if they knew, they wouldn't be able to swagger into the 'Ghost Market' with their standpoint. Gluttony yawned and looked up into the distance.

"Well, as I know about them, they're not going to be helpless. I'm afraid the action has already begun......"

----------------------------------

"Zla......

A hesitant figure slowly walked out from behind the curtain in the locker room, and Zhou Wentao looked at himself in the dark blue uniform in the mirror, and loosened his neckline a little uncomfortably.

"Hehe, it seems to fit quite well. ”

The soft voice suddenly pulled Zhou Wentao back from his distraction, the latter was slightly stunned, turned to look behind him, and saw a young man with purple hair and black eyes, pale skin, and a dark blue coat looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Ah, hello...... Minister Purple Ink. ”

Seeing the appearance of the man, Zhou Wentao hurriedly saluted respectfully.

"No need to be polite, this is the first day you have joined our [Dazai Department], and this time I brought you to our 'Lingyutai' headquarters 'Penglai' to complete some necessary procedures...... Ahem...... cough cough cough ......"

It seemed that he had said too much in one breath, and the man known as "Zimo" was a little out of breath and coughed several times in succession, which added a bit of morbid beauty to his already weak and emaciated appearance.

"Minister Zi, Minister Zimo, are you okay?" Seeing Zimo's lungs about to cough out, Zhou Wentao was frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward and patted the other party's back.

"No, it's okay...... My body is already relatively weak, which makes you laugh. As if he felt that he was a little out of shape in front of the newcomer, Zimo hurriedly sorted out his expression, and his face regained his composure.

"Okay, don't bother, come, I'll take you to visit Penglai, and by the way, I'll introduce to you the organizational composition of the six departments of our 'Lingyutai'. ”

Zimo smiled, and was just about to leave the rest room with Zhou Wentao, but he stumbled on his feet and almost tripped again, which shocked Zhou Wentao into a cold sweat.

"Ministries, Ministers...... I'll hold you!"

Seeing Zimo's sick appearance, Zhou Wentao suddenly couldn't care about anything else, he hurriedly picked up Zimo's arm and walked out of the room tremblingly. However, after only a few steps, he suddenly noticed that something seemed to be floating on the wall of the hall outside the room, and when he looked up, his face turned white with fright.

I saw a huge figure floating on the white wall in front of the two, just facing Zhou Wentao and the two, looking down condescendingly.
