November 1.

The day after Musashi left, Ryusha came to the bamboo forest on the outskirts of Kanbuzi North, and followed the stone path in the forest to the Ryoyi Mansion again.

Unlike the last time I came here to use the [Breath Blocking] skill to sneak in from the bamboo forest, this time, Ryuxia came to the gate of the mansion openly and knocked on the door.

In early October, the Liangyi family sent an invitation to Ryuxia, saying that the head of the family planned to have a detailed discussion about the assassination of the two ceremonies, but because Ryuxia was learning swords with Musashi at the time, the conflict between him and the Ryoyi family was not easy for Musashi to know, so he postponed the invitation.

And now that Musashi left, whether it was the conflict with the Liangyi family or the identity of the killer, it didn't matter how it was exposed, he came here, ready to settle this grievance with the Liangyi family once and for all.

After Ryusha knocked on the door, the wooden door was soon opened from the inside, revealing the figure of a young man.

It is about a servant of the Liangyi family, wearing a black suit, combing his hair and clothes well, and the whole person has a sense of etiquette similar to that of a housekeeper and a deacon, and he will not be humble or arrogant to anyone who comes.

"Mr. Kuramimu, please come inside."

Even Ryuxia, who is only 11 years old this year, uses the honorific title of 'Mr.'.

Under the guidance of the young servant, Ryuxia once again walked into this Japanese-style building.

The servant did not lead Ryusha to the living room, but led Ryusha to the dojo inside the mansion.

"Boom!"

"Bump!"

"Bang!"

Before I got closer, I could hear the sound of metal crashing from inside the dojo, and the sound of human bodies hitting the walls and knocking things down.

"Master, miss, Mr. Cang Mimu is here."

The young servant stood outside the door, not looking at the people and objects in the dojo, bowing slightly, bowing his head, motionless, and praying to the two people in the dojo with an unusually respectful look and tone.

"I see, Qiulong, you go down first."

From inside the dojo came a middle-aged man's hoarse voice like a very old tree, but as steady as Mount Tai.

"Yes."

The young servant, known as 'Qiulong', still bowed his head, and at the order of the middle-aged man, slowly retreated, and then turned to leave.

Ryuxia didn't need to be as well-behaved as Akitaka as a guest, so she stood outside the door and looked in the direction of the dojo.

In the dojo, the wooden floor seems to be taken care of all the time, not to mention the slightest dust, it can even be said to be shiny, and there is almost nothing in the wide dojo, only a few weapon racks are placed around.

It's just that at this moment, the weapon rack also fell to the ground because of being knocked into it, and several wooden knives, real knives, and scabbards placed on it also fell to the ground disorderly because of this.

The two ceremonies sat on the ground next to the weapon rack, and although they held a long knife in their hands, they were pointed at by the middle-aged man holding the other knife at the point of the knife, as if they would be slashed from top to bottom by the long knife at the slightest movement.

"I lost."

Although the faces of the two ceremonies were a little unwilling, they took a deep breath and calmed their minds, but they still gave up the struggle and took the initiative to make a declaration of surrender.

When the middle-aged man heard this, he stepped back without saying a word, and then withdrew the long knife in a standard posture, followed the tiger's mouth with the back of the knife, and returned the knife in his hand to the scabbard with a 'click'.

The two ceremonies stood up from the ground, and the two of them faced each other and bowed, which put an end to the exchange.

"Cangmimu-kun, please come in."

The middle-aged man turned around and looked at Ryuxia who was standing at the door of the dojo, and gave Ryuxia permission to enter in a hoarse and calm voice.

Generally speaking, in a family like this with a swordsmanship heritage, the swordsmanship between the head of the family and the heir is not allowed to be seen by outsiders, let alone an irrelevant person like Ryuxia, even if it is the most loyal servant in the family, don't want to peep at the slightest, otherwise you will be punished by the head of the family.

That's why the young man named Qiulong before lowered his head so low.

However, in fact, before the arrival of Qiu Long and Ryu Xia, the middle-aged man and the two ceremonies have ended, even if you look up, you can't see any secrets, even if Qiu Long really looks up, the head of the family will not say anything, but he still bows his head the whole time, and can only say that Qiu Long's loyalty is indeed from the heart, and there is no falsehood.

After the middle-aged man gave permission, Lu Xia Cai walked into the dojo.

However, he did not take off his shoes and walked to the floor, but stood in the entrance of the dojo.

"I'm going back."

The two ceremonies didn't even look at Ryuxia, and after putting the sword in their hand on the weapon rack on the other side, they turned around and left the dojo, and soon they couldn't even see the human figure.

The middle-aged man didn't care about the rudeness of the two ceremonies, and turned his head to look at Ryuxia.

He didn't put down the knife in his hand, but directly carried it and came to Lu Xia's face.

"I've heard about it from Shiki."

The middle-aged man stood there, his face with some wrinkles looked meticulous, his hands were straight to his side, his eyes were slightly heavy, and he looked at Lu Xia in front of him condescendingly.

"She stopped my intention to take revenge on you on the grounds that 'you are also a victim', and I promised her, but this matter cannot end here, no matter what, the fact that you almost killed my daughter is also a fact, and there is no reason not to settle the score."

The middle-aged man is the father of the two ceremonies, and he is also the current head of the Liangyi family, at this moment, his slightly low gaze is looking Liu Xia up and down, seeing that his face still does not fluctuate in the slightest, and there is not even a trace of fear, so he nodded faintly.

In the case of enmity with the Liangyi family, in the hinterland of the Liangyi base camp, he still maintained the slightest unwavering posture when he faced it with a knife, which was really an excellent foul at the age of 11.

Thinking of the qualities that Liangyi had told him before, 'extremely proficient in assassination', 'lurking in the Liangyi Mansion without anyone discovering it', and 'fearlessly threatening her to reach cooperation', the eyes of the Liangyi family master flickered slightly.

"I heard that your parents just died at the hands of the previous serial killer, and you just lost your guardian."

The head of the Liangyi family looked at Liuxia with a sense of scrutiny in his eyes, "If you are willing to accept my adoption and become my adopted son, then the matter of your previous peace will be written off." ”

"I won't force you to do anything, the Liangyi family will also be your backing in the future, even if you continue to be a killer, you will be given some support in black and white, what do you think?"

It's not so much a reckoning as a buy-off.

"The conditions are good."

Lu Xia nodded, agreeing to the conditions proposed by the head of the Liangyi family, but then he changed his words.

"But, I refuse."
