[The other side] headquarters, council room.

On either side of the huge conference round table sat the simulated phantoms of the two patriarchs of the Hayakawa clan and the Nishiki clan, and the faces of these two patriarchs were not very good-looking at the moment.

Less than an hour ago, the two of them had received two artifacts from the [Three Artifacts] clan that Peony had given to someone they had never seen before.

"Lord Peony, how can you hand over the Kusanagi Sword and the Eight-Foot Qiong Hook Jade so easily?"

Hayakawa Hitomo's emotions were very excited, and he stood up sharply, his hands falling heavily on the conference table.

Keeping the [Three Artifacts]'s Kusanagi Sword and the Eight-Foot Qiong Hook Jade in their hands was enough to ensure that when they had the final battle with the [Eight Masterpieces], the troublesome guys of the [Three Artifacts] would not come out to stir up the situation.

Can ...... now

"Lord Peony, you should give us a satisfactory answer."

Compared to Hayakawa Hitochi's excitement, Chitose's father, also known as Takashi Nishikori, remained calm, crossed his hands in front of his eyes, and silently looked at the peony sitting on the main seat.

In the end, the age is earlier than the elder Kawa Hitochi is many years old, and Nishiki Takashi is very sophisticated in emotional control, and between words and deeds, he does not show his joy and anger.

"You want to know why I handed over those two artifacts?" Peony picked up a small teacup in front of him and played with it in the palm of his hand, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, "Are you guts fat?" Dare to question my decision! ”

[Smack! 】

Peony directly threw the small teacup in his hand to the ground, and the ceramic fired teacup fell to pieces in an instant.

Hayakawa Hitomo is not a person who can be beaten and scolded, he just wanted to stand up and refute Peony, but was stopped by Nishiki Takashi on the side with his eyes.

"Naturally, we don't dare to question Lord Peony's decision."

I saw Nishiki Takashi with a kind smile on his face, and said with his head bowed, "We just want to know why Peony-sama did this." ”

Hayakawa Hitochi didn't see it, but he, an old man with a lot of sophistication, saw it very clearly, it was obvious that Peony was holding his breath, and the two of them were a little unlucky enough to hit the muzzle of the gun.

"Well, since you want to know so much, I'll tell you."

Peony didn't continue to get angry, but laughed, "Because I have never disobeyed that man's will, a thousand years ago, and a thousand years later!" ”

After saying this, Peony didn't mean to stay longer, stood up directly, slammed the door and left.

Peony's reaction and attitude made the two heads of the family stunned, and Peony has always given them a calm and wise image, good at decision-making, how can they be so emotional today.

"Chitose, what's going on with Peony-sama?" was inexplicably angry, even Nishiki Takashi's face was a little unbearable, and he quickly turned his head to look at Chitose who was standing silently on the side, "You should have been on the side at the time." ”

"Grandfather, I don't know the person who took the two [Three Artifact] artifacts." Seeing that Nishiki Takashi asked himself, Chitose thought about it slightly in his heart, and didn't say anything about Ah Xiu being the person on the family inheritance mural, "I only heard Lord Peony call him Lord Ah Xiu?" ”

"Lord Ashu?"

Takashi Hayakawa and Takashi Nishiki were both stunned for a moment, because they had never heard the name Ashu again.

Ah Xiu, who left the [other side] thousands of years ago, is already very good to have a portrait to pass on.

"Could it be the Lord who has just broken through the seal?" Hitomo Hayakawa was guessing, he was really unsure of this unfamiliar name.

"Impossible, ...... who lived to the moment of sealing a thousand years ago" Takashi Nishikiori directly rejected Takashi Hayakawa's speculation, he knew much more secrets than these two young people, "There are only four people, plus a Guke-sama, and the last Sai-sama-"

"I've never heard of Master Ashu again."

"Grandfather, it's too late to dwell on anything, and the top priority now is to prepare everything for the resurrection of Lord Unbounded." Seeing that the two patriarchs got into such a question for a while, Chitose hurriedly changed the topic.

"Yes, the [Three Artifacts] are not yet a climate, and even if the artifact is retrieved, the impact on the overall situation will not be great."

Chitose's words successfully shifted the two of their thoughts to the side, "As long as the Unbounded Lord returns, we [the other side] will be invincible." ”

……

Peony, who slammed the door and walked out of the council room, did not go far.

At the corner of the corridor, she turned around and sat down slowly against the wall, her long black hair hanging down without any image, completely hiding her delicate face.

"Peony, peony, that's all you need!"

Peony grabbed a strand of her hair hard, and Ah Xiu's appearance completely disrupted her heart, this heart that had been cold for a thousand years was completely messed up.

A slight grinding sound of wheels rolling across the ground sounded in Peony's ears, and the person who came was none other than Aster.

Giving Krosso his own blood for a long time has caused Shion to temporarily lose her mobility, and she can only use a wheelchair as a means of transportation.

"Oh, when will Lord Peony be so decadent?"

Turning the wheels of the wheelchair with both hands, Shion stopped beside Peony, and her tone was not sarcastic, but a little sentimental.

Ah Xiu's breath Aster is naturally well known, even if she doesn't have a quarter of her heyday now, but after all, the original realm is there.

"I don't want to quarrel with you right now, Shion."

Peony said in a low voice, without the slightest intention of raising her head.

"What? When you see Ah Xiu again, that feeling crushes you? The corners of Aster's mouth outlined a curvature, in the end, she was the same as Peony, "You didn't realize it a thousand years ago, Ashu Cleminson will be my enemy from the other side—"

"That's what you said, how come a thousand years later, when you see it again, you will be so defeated."

"Enough, shut up!"

Peony grabbed more of her hair with both hands, looking struggling, "You know what? I invited him to come back and lead the other side, but he told me he wanted to protect the world—"

"This bullshit world has never liked us [the other side] again!"

"yes, you didn't understand this very early." Shion reached out to separate the hair that Peony was covering her face, her hand was now pale from excessive blood loss, "You are different from me, I have no way back now, you are different, you still have something you have to do." ”

"Why should I be under such pressure? Back then, Lord Sai had clearly given the order to the two of us. ”

Peony's eyes are red, and she doesn't know how long she hasn't shown it in front of outsiders.

"I'm sorry, forgive me for being a little wayward."

Shion knelt down in front of Peony, slowly hugged her, and whispered in her ear.
