Looking at the five Assassin Elders who had gone through countless disputes, even Liang Ye's heartbeat was a little uncontrollably faster.

Liang Ye didn't know what kind of existence these five elders were like when they were young, he knew very well; Even though the five elders are very old, their influence on the world is still very amazing.

"I know you're under pressure, not just to attend Remu's funeral; And also because of his granddaughter, Claire. Nicholas looked at Liang Ye with that cloudy but cold gaze, and said slowly, "About this girl, I want to remind you that he was once trained in our brotherhood. ”

Nicholas's words seem to be trying to show that he will not let Claire return to China.

This can also be said to be normal, because most of the members of the fraternity are family lineage; From generation to generation, families are all Assassins, and it is common in the Brotherhood.

Remu's son is dead, and now he is gone; As Raimi's granddaughter, Claire should indeed take his place.

Nicholas's words are not unreasonable, Liang Ye is not a member of the Brotherhood after all, so it is impossible to think on the side of the Brotherhood.

"I understand." Liang Ye nodded slightly, but still said firmly: "You should have seen Claire's current situation, she is no longer suitable to be an assassin, at least not now. Moreover, her fate should be decided by herself, and she has the power to decide whether she should take Reagi's place or not. ”

In terms of reasoning, it must be Liang Ye who is better.

If a person doesn't even have the opportunity to choose his own destiny, then his life is inevitably too dark.

The five elders glanced at each other, and to Liang Ye's surprise; They all nodded in unison and agreed with Liang Ye's words.

"You have a point, we will give her the opportunity to choose her own destiny; If she chooses to return to China, then please help take care of her. Nicholas said.

Liang Ye nodded vigorously and responded, "Of course, this is what I promised Lei Mu." ”

At the mention of Remu, Nicholas's eyes dimmed slightly, and he said with some emotion: "His death is a great loss for the entire Brotherhood. ”

"I'd love to know what he was doing before he died." Liang Ye asked.

Liang Ye knew that his question was a bit redundant, he was not a member of the Brotherhood, so the elders would not tell him.

Sure enough, just as Liang Ye thought, Nicholas shook his head and said, "We can't tell you that you were once trained in the Brotherhood, and you know our rules. ”

Although he couldn't get a definite answer, Liang Ye didn't ask any further; Because no matter how much he asked, it was impossible to get these elders to speak.

"We are very grateful for you to come, and we hope you will be on time tomorrow." Nicholas said.

He gave an eviction order, how could Liang Ye not hear it.

However, he didn't plan to leave just like that.

"I hope to meet Claire." Liang Ye stood up and said.

Liang Ye's heart is bottomless, if Nicholas doesn't let him see Claire; Then he has no reason to insist, after all, the funeral has not yet taken place.

But to Liang Ye's surprise, Nicholas did not stop her, but said: "Yes, she is in the garden, you can see her when you go in." ”

Liang Ye glanced at Nicholas with a grateful gaze, and then walked towards the back garden of the villa.

The garden is just behind the villa and can be reached with a push of the door in the hall.

Watching Liang Ye leave, Nicholas stood up, he first glanced at the direction of Liang Ye's departure, and then said slowly: "It's a pity that he is not our person, otherwise I will definitely let him take Lei Mu's place." ”

"The dragon must always soar above the blue sky, and I hope that he will not become our enemy in the future." Another elder followed.

There is a large swimming pool in the back garden of the villa, while the rest of the area is full of flowers and plants, and cobbled paths run through the garden, with several branches leading to the other houses.

There is a white swing in the garden, which looks very elegant from a distance.

On the swing sat a somewhat diminutive girl, dressed in red, with her slender hands gently holding the rope of the swing.

The light of the moon shone on this garden, making the people on the swings seem very lonely.

That girl is Claire, Claire, who has lost two relatives in a short period of time.

The moment Liang Ye saw her back, he instantly felt the sadness that emanated from her.

"Claire."

Liang Ye called out to her softly, and then walked in the direction of the swing.

Claire turned her head slowly, when she saw that it was Liang Ye walking towards her; There was a hint of turmoil in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

She knew that Liang Ye would come because she had seen Liang Ye's training in the Brotherhood.

Moreover, before her personality changed, she had some small crushes on Liang Ye.

Handsome boys can easily attract the attention of girls.

Not to mention that Claire is still in the age of puberty, and it is normal for her to be tempted at that time.

It's just that now she is an unusually timid little girl, a former assassin, who has been reduced to the point of being bullied by ordinary students.

Liang Ye sat on the swing next to Claire, and then turned his head to look at the little girl with a somewhat pale face.

After pursing his lips, Liang Ye spoke, "I'm sorry, Claire. ”

Regarding Lei Mu's death, Liang Ye is indeed very regretful and a little sad.

Remu was a powerful assassin and a good teacher; Without him, there would be no Liang Ye today.

And that's why Liang Ye wants to take care of Claire.

Liang Ye's words, Claire didn't make too many waves; She just kept her head down, her long hair casually draped over her shoulders.

Her reaction was expected by Liang Ye, who organized the language for a while, and then said again: "Do you know, your father, your grandfather, before he died, was the one who was most worried about you. Especially your grandfather, who doesn't want you to join the fraternity or repeat the path your parents took. ”

However, before Liang Ye's words were finished, Claire raised her head, looked into his gaze and said, "I heard that life never ends, and death is just another life. ”

"Is this true?" Claire asked.

Her words suddenly made Liang Ye fall into silence, this question; How could he possibly know, because he hadn't died.

And he is an atheist, and he will not believe what those religions say.

"I don't know, Claire." Liang Ye struggled to squeeze out a smile and said softly, "But if you really think so, maybe, it's true." ”
