"Good evening, Young Master Luo."

A respectful voice came from the earpiece.

How respectful?

As soon as you hear this voice, you can think of standing up straight and bowing in your mind.

"Thank you for everything you have done for me, according to the agreement, I will let you borrow the 'Ding Chou Secret Scroll'."

"I'm in the courtyard right now."

"You can just come."

Hua Kaiyuan Luo is very casual, talking as he walks.

"Thank you so much."

"I'll go right away."

Yamashita replied.

"Okay."

"I'll wait for you."

With that, Hua Kaiyuan Luo hung up the phone.

Then, Hua Kaiyuan Luo crushed the phone that looked like a brick.

After shaking his hand and throwing the fragments of the phone's parts on the ground, Hua Kaiyuan Luo stomped his foot slightly, and immediately, the tamped earth under his feet surged up, swallowing all the fragments.

In the middle of breathing, everything was back to normal, and there was no debris that had just been scattered on the ground.

After doing all this, Hua Kaiyuan Luo turned his head to look at the small courtyard behind him.

He knew that such a fluctuation of yin and yang techniques could not be concealed from Hua Kaiyuan.

Or rather, he didn't mean to hide it at all.

Among the five people who split up this time, the most powerful is Hua Kai Yuan Toru , but the least dangerous is also Hua Kai Yuan Toru .

Because, Hua Kaiyuan has no intention of entering the master's house at all.

A month ago, Toru Hua Kaiyuan had once again made this clear to the master.

It's not the kind of talk it takes.

Instead, it was really written in writing.

Because of this, he was moved.

If Hua Kaiyuan Toru participates in this test of 'entering the master's house', Hua Kaiyuan Luo will definitely not hesitate to devote himself to the command of Hua Kaiyuan Toru and charge into battle.

But Hua Kaiyuan gave up.

This gave Hua Kaiyuan Luo a new idea.

"Brother Che, why did you give up?"

"Can't even the location of the lord's house make your heart move?"

Hua Kaiyuan Luo muttered softly to himself.

Since he was a child, he has seen the talent of Toru Hanakaiin.

Talented?

Such words describe the words of Toru Hua Kaiyuan, and Hua Kaiyuan Luo thinks it is an insult.

The talent of Hua Kaiyuan is really unprecedented!

Any yin-yang technique only needs to be watched once to be learned.

Any shikigami just needs to stand there and they will swarm in.

Even the current head of the family has said that Hua Kai Yuan Toru is just because of his age and lack of practice, and as the years go by, Hua Kai Yuan Toru will definitely stand above everyone.

Even, the ancestor who chased after the earth royal gate.

Therefore, everyone thinks that Toru Hanakaiin will be the next head of the Hanakaiin family.

It's just that what people didn't expect was that as they got older, Toru Hua Kaiyuan expressed the idea of not wanting to be the head of the house.

Moreover, it has been said in public more than once.

In the end, it was written down.

The former can also be used as a joke.

Latter?

It's time to face it.

After repeated confirmations, the Hua Kai Yuan family reopened the test of 'entering the main house' a month ago.

It also made the younger generation of the Huakaiyuan family start to move.

Gossip.

Secretly arranged.

Trap temptation.

has appeared continuously, even if there is an ancestral motto of 'prohibiting infighting', it just makes everyone look better on the surface.

As a matter of fact?

Bleeding is happening all the time.

The flowers bloom in the courtyard, the flowers bloom in the courtyard, and the flowers bloom in the courtyard, except for the blossoming courtyard, including him, are no exception.

The previous attack on the convoy of the Flower Blossom Courtyard was the Bureau of the Flower Blossom Courtyard Tree Cloth.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have contacted Yamashita.

Now, though......

Thinking of Hua Kaiyuan's reminder, Hua Kaiyuanluo's eyes flashed with coldness.

An outsider is always an outsider.

He understood what it meant.

As for after the fact?

Although the flower cherry blossoms are powerful, they are not single-handedly covered in the Silver District.

It's not even a top force.

At best, it's top-notch.

If he wants to deal with the aftermath, he has a way.

Hua Kaiyuan Luo thought, and subconsciously wanted to return to the small courtyard.

He is also going to continue playing chess with Hua Kaiyuan Toru .

However, immediately, he thought of the words of Toru Hua Kaiyuan before.

The footsteps of the flower blossom courtyard Luo paused.

Let's get things done first.

I'm done, come back.

Thinking of this, Hua Kaiyuan Luo turned around and left.

Soon, the figure disappeared at the end of the path.

……

Smack.

The microphone was put back on the landline.

Yamashita was far from being as impatient as he appeared on the phone.

He sat down on the couch and lit a cigarette.

Yamashita was a tall, serious-looking middle-aged man, sitting there, his black suit unbuttoned, revealing a white shirt without a tie, and two buttons at the mouth of the shirt, revealing several scars hidden under the clothes.

Call!

There was a heavy puff of smoke from the bottom of the mountain.

In the smoke, his brow furrowed.

Things went so well!

The success of the arrival made him uneasy.

"Did I find out what I did?"

Yamashita tapped lightly on the armrest of the sofa, his brow furrowing more and more.

He knew very well what the outcome of what he was doing would be if it was discovered by Hua Kaiyuanluo.

There is no place to die!

Yamashita couldn't think of anything else other than that.

This made Yamashita nervous.

Who is not afraid of death?

Yamashita admits his fear of death.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have joined the 'Flower Sakura' group without hesitation after learning about the 'inner world'.

Those strange beings are not something that conventional forces can deal with.

So, he joined 'Hanakura' in order to gain power.

It's the same with Hua Kai Yuan Luo.

He is for the 'Ding Chou Secret Scroll'.

This is a dense scroll that records many yin and yang techniques.

Although there are no too advanced or unique yin-yang techniques, just some ordinary and basic yin-yang techniques, but for him, it is still a big temptation.

After all, it is extremely difficult to acquire similar knowledge in 'Hanakura'.

'Hanakura' provides knowledge and power.

But only the first time is free.

If you want to learn and gain later, you need to continue to make contributions and accumulate to a certain extent.

And in his way, want to accumulate credit?

That's simply impossible.

The credit for charging into battle is the highest.

Therefore, joining an action group is the fastest way to get credit.

But the mortality rate of the action group discouraged him.

He thinks there's a better way.

In fact, there are.

He chose what suited him better.

Cooperate with certain forces in the 'inner world'.

Or in exchange for information, or to deal with certain things.

More importantly, this in itself is one of the meanings of the existence of 'Hanakura'.

He didn't break the rules.

Most...... It's just a little bit of use.

And now?

Yamashita intends to continue doing so.

Thinking of this, Yamashita picked up the phone.

"Hey, Onodera, come to my office."

After saying that, he didn't give Onodera a chance to refuse at all, and Yamashita put down the phone.

He knew exactly what Onodera was.

is not only greedy for life and afraid of death, but also bullying the soft and afraid of the hard.

Isn't the reason why he has stayed under his command for this time?

Take the blame for him.

Take your risk for him.

Even if something happens, no one will stand up and speak up with the other party's character.

It really couldn't be better.

Knock, knock!

"Please come in."

With a humble smile, Onodera pushed the door and walked in.

"Captain Yamashita, may I ask what's the matter?"

Onodera asked softly.

And in the bottom of his heart, Onodera has long scolded Yamashita to the blood.

He had answered the phone call that didn't give him a chance to ask too many times.

It doesn't end well every time.

This time?

He believes that it is no exception.

In fact, right away, Onodera was crying.

"I need you to go to the other courtyard of the Hua Kai Yuan family."

"Don't ask why, there's one thing there, you just get it back."

"Don't look at what's inside."

"Alright, let's go."

Yamashita still didn't have room for Onodera to question, and after telling him, he raised his hand and let Onodera go out.

Click!

After going out of Onodera, Yamashita immediately locked the door.

Then, he strode to the closet next to the office.

Pulling open the door to the closet, Yamashita walked inside.

It's a secret door.

On one side of the secret door is the office at the foot of the mountain.

On the other side is a secret room.

In the secret room, there are a lot of weapons, gold, and more cross-dressing clothes, wigs, etc.

After Yamashita's skillful disguise, he has changed from a tall middle-aged man to a hunchbacked white-haired old man.

He turned and walked towards the 'exit' of the chamber.

A 'window' that looks completely in line with the surrounding wall when viewed from the outside.

Push open the window.

And then......

Jumped down the hill.

The height of the six-story building did not cause any damage to the mountain in the slightest.

He seemed to be a feather, fluttering to the ground.

By the night, it quickly disappeared towards the courtyard of the flower blossom courtyard.

He's certainly not following Onodera anymore.

For Onodera, he has a lot of confidence.

Even if you don't want to, Onodera will do it.

Naturally, there are some greasy ones.

However, it is all within acceptable limits.

He was on his way to meet another collaborator.

Blossom garden tree!

Or rather......

This is his true collaborator.

……

"Annex?"

When the girl heard the destination of the blossoming courtyard, she didn't react a little.

"Huakaiyuan is a big family."

"There are quite a lot of industries not only on the island, but also overseas."

"That's why every place has a courtyard."

"After all, compared to a hotel, the annex is more convenient."

"However, compared with the island, there are a lot less overseas."

Hua Kaiyuan Qing explained.

"Inside the island? Overseas? ”

The girl was stunned.

Her brain cells made her a little unclear about how big the industry Hua Kaiyuan Qing was talking about.

But it should be big.

It's a powerful kind to listen to.

That's amazing......

"Isn't the chef in the other courtyard very good?"

The focus of the Sakura girl is still on eating.

Jason, who was sitting on the side, also sat up straight.

He is also concerned about this issue.

"Better than most chefs."

"But compared to the real top chefs, there is still a certain distance."

"We've tried to recruit top chefs, but ...... It's too hard. ”

"For example, Master Juro."

Hua Kaiyuan Qing smiled bitterly as she spoke.

"Juro?"

Sakura-sama was unfamiliar with the name.

"He is the owner of the 'Glowing Cuisine Pavilion', and a true top chef - in our family records, the ancestor of Master Juro once appeared as a chef who used 'cuisine' to make the demons retreat."

"The words recorded are unknown, but the taste of the 'cuisine' ...... It must be good. ”

Suck and slip.

Goo-dong.

Listening to Hua Kaiyuanqing's introduction, the Sakura girl was already drooling, and when the saliva flowed through the corners of her mouth, the grinning girl inhaled sharply and sucked the saliva back.

However, the sound of swallowing saliva is not that of Sakura girl.

Rather, Jason.

The 'Soul Gourd' on his waist always exudes the smell of 'food'.

This was an ordeal in itself for Jason.

At this moment, I heard the words of Hua Kaiyuan Qing again, and the feeling of torment was immediately doubled.

Even Jason felt so uncomfortable.

"Is the annex almost there?"

Jason asked.

"Right now."

Hua Kaiyuan replied.

Looking at the impatient appearance of the two collaborators, Hua Kaiyuanqing's face couldn't help but smile.

Why did he hold a banquet in the other courtyard to entertain Jason and Miss Sakura?

Isn't it just to show respect?

Now the expressions of the two of them are in response to his respect.

This made Hua Kaiyuan Qing feel satisfied.

Although the focus of the two may be a little wrong.

But what does it matter?

As long as they eat well, it's fine.

Although both of them are very good at eating, with the financial resources of the Hua Kai Yuan family, Hua Kai Yuan Qing is not worried at all.

He thinks he can satisfy the appetites of the two.

The car continued to drive.

After about ten minutes, I turned into a secluded alley.

After entering the alley for 20 meters, the surrounding environment changes.

The city, which was once backward in Jason's opinion, has become a secluded courtyard.

Stone floors with gravel accents.

Emerald green podocarpus, pavilion cover.

The black tiles, skillfully joined together, and the white walls, are spotless.

It has the taste of the ancient buildings of Jason's hometown.

But it's plausible.

In some places, there is always some charm missing.

"Here we are."

As Hua Kaiyuan Qing spoke, the car stopped, and the young man took the lead in pushing the door open, inviting Jason and his party as the owner, and making an introduction.

"The annex here has been around for a hundred years."

"So, keep some means."

"The 'enchantment' created by the Yin-Yang Technique outside can make people who are not invited leave on their own."

"Don't worry, Ms. Hui Lijing and Mr. Mrs. He, I will let my subordinates take special care of you."

Hua Kaiyuan Qing said, and led Jason and his party towards the courtyard.

The gate of the courtyard is a double wooden door, there are no door nails, but a heavy square wood splicing, each two meters wide, two side by side, it looks like the door of a small city.

Moreover, even after the beautification, Jason still saw the marks of a knife and axe on it.

Obviously, the actual effect of this gate is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"In the troubled times, some means of defense were necessary."

"Not anymore, though."

"It's peaceful now."

Hua Kaiyuan said confidently.

And then—

Rumble!
