“...... Of course I do. Sakurai Shizuka lowered her head, raised her head after a moment, and said with a smile, "Li Xiaoqian of Huaxia Academy, who doesn't know him." ”

Li Xiaoqian snorted, although it was still a little strange, but she didn't think much about it. No matter how sensitive she is and how smart she is, it's hard to imagine: the Japanese girl in front of her has a lot of intersections with her brother recently.

"Let's go in together?" Li Xiaoqian pointed to the sealed residence of Rika Sakurai not far away.

"Huh?" Shizuka Sakurai was startled.

"Oh, if we don't go together, then I'll go in by myself. Li Xiaoqian shrugged.

“......”

A moment later, Shizuka Sakurai followed behind Li Xiaoqian with some trepidation, passed through the blockade, and entered Rika Sakurai's former residence.

At the same time, Shizuka Sakurai looked at Li Xiaoqian's expression and became a little weird.

"How?"

"Oh, I just think that Miss Xiaoqian, you are not the same as the rumored. Sakurai Shizuka said softly, and added in her heart, anyway, there is a big difference between it and Komori-kun's description, didn't Komori-kun say that his sister was a soft girl?

Shizuka Sakurai looked at Li Xiaoqian's young but calm face, and said in her heart that this is completely a future female domineering president!

"People change. Li Xiaoqian smiled, quickly changed the topic, her face was solemn, and asked, "Rika Sakurai, who died during the day, was your good friend when she was alive?"

“...... Be. ”

"Can you tell me about her?" asked Li Xiaoqian, "I don't hide it, Rika Sakurai shouldn't be alone, there is some bad guy behind her, and I suspect it's some bad guy I knew before." That's why I'm here today to investigate. ”

Unlike Li Xiaosen, Li Xiaoqian is more proactive in dealing with events during the day.

Li Xiaosen's strategy is to respond to all changes with the same, or in other words, Li Xiaosen does not need to take the initiative to find out who is behind Rika Sakurai, but must ensure that no matter who that person is, when the other party makes a move, he can beat it.

On the other hand, Li Xiaoqian, she seems to want to collect more intelligence and find out the black hands behind the scenes.

"Of course, if mentioning that Rika Sakurai makes you uncomfortable, please ignore what I just said. Li Xiaoqian politely added again.

Shizuka Sakurai hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed and said, "I don't mind." ”

Then she probably told about herself and Sakurai Rika, many of these things, she didn't even say anything about Li Xiaosen, and now she vomited quickly, but it made the mood that had been very heavy since the beginning of the day a lot soothed.

During this period, Li Xiaoqian only listened carefully most of the time, and occasionally asked a few more questions on certain details.

It wasn't until Shizuka Sakurai said everything she could say that Li Xiaoqian quieted down and thought silently.

The moonlight sprinkled on Li Xiaoqian's long black and shiny hair, if Li Xiaosen was present, he would find that his sister's temperament at the moment was a bit like Li Xingni.

That kind of calm and determined appearance shows that Xiaoqian has really grown up, and she is no longer the little girl who used to only follow her brother, nor is she the girl who has to choose to join the Nightkin camp with insufficient ability.

"Does it help?" Shizuka Sakurai looked at Li Xiaoqian and blinked.

"Yes, thank you very much. Li Xiaoqian nodded, shook her head again, and said, "But the information is still not enough, only this, I can't speculate more things." And this room, which should have been handled by the person behind Rika Sakurai, anyway, with my eyesight, I can't see anything out of the ordinary. But there are no flaws, but the biggest unusual. The other party should be a super-first-class master, maybe it is the person I guessed......"

For a moment, Shizuka Sakurai was almost about to blurt out: "I can tell you where Li Xiaosen is, you brothers and sisters can join forces to investigate and research." ”

But what came out was: "Although I am very weak and can't help much, the current situation is very bad, right?"

Li Xiaoqian sighed and sat down on the spot.

She looked into the depths of the night, slightly distracted, and after a moment whispered, "It's not bad, but it's not optimistic." This kendo conference has become so important because of the news released by Liu Changsheng. But now Liu Changsheng's whereabouts are not in our hands. The guys of the club, after two years of civil war, have not made a big move, and they don't know what kind of vicious plans they will have this time. As for the Nightcrawler......"

Speaking of this, Li Xiaoqian paused, and there was a trace of confusion in her eyes: "It's been three years, even if the Nightcrawler suffered heavy losses in the North American campaign three years ago, it shouldn't have been so quiet for three years...... What the hell are those guys planning? This time it is related to the third resurrection artifact, and there is no reason why they should not come. ”

The thoughts that had just been put down were filled with my mind again, becoming more and more chaotic, and I couldn't understand or make sense of it.

Li Xiaoqian's brows gradually frowned, until a sound of a can opening suddenly sounded beside her-

Shizuka Sakurai handed over a can of soda, pursed her lips and smiled, "Do you want to drink?"

“...... No, thank you. Li Xiaoqian shook her head and said.

At this time, Shizuka Sakurai had recovered her calm from the excitement and complicated mood of seeing Li Xiaoqian for the first time.

She didn't mind, she raised her head and took a sip, and then said, "Originally, I was going to run away forever, but because of the encouragement of one person, I decided to return to the family. Before I came back, I actually thought about a lot, all kinds of possible scenarios, the worst possibilities, I thought about everything. But you know what, how I feel when I actually come back?"

Li Xiaoqian listened quietly.

I only heard Shizuka Sakurai say in a low voice, word by word: "My feeling is: I'm really happy!

Li Xiaoqian showed a hint of astonishment.

Regarding the Sakurai Shizuka in front of her, in order to investigate Sakurai Rika, she also learned about it: a girl who escaped from the identity of the honorary heir of the family, left the family for two years, and went to various parts of the world to rescue endangered creatures.

Li Xiaoqian thought that this was a soft girl who was tired of strife, just like Shizuka Sakurai thought that Li Xiaoqian was also a soft girl.

But the truth is, soft girls or something, not at all.

At this time, Shizuka Sakurai's eyes were burning with flames.

It's not that the things she did in the secular circle in the past two years were denied by herself, but she finally understood that she was actually a person who was unwilling to be lonely!

Since she was born in this turbulent era of instability, returning to her family and returning to the professional circle is her true destination!

"Although my strength is weak in your opinion, I still have to say - no matter so much, it's over!" Sakurai Shizuka raised the can in her hand and said in a rare loud voice, making Li Xiaoqian suspect that the can was not soda but beer.

Li Xiaoqian naturally won't look down on Sakurai Shizuka because her strength is not strong.

On the contrary, being infected by this Japanese girl, Li Xiaoqian also laughed and said, "Okay, probably I'm thinking too much." ”

"yes, yes, it doesn't matter what kind of club or nightkin he is, we're holding a kendo tournament right now. Shizuka Sakurai said, "Seriously participating in the kendo tournament is the best preparation......!

Li Xiaoqian said, "But your samurai guard, that Sakurai Hondo, will attend the conference." ”

The two girls looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"Anyway, can that Sakurai Hondo introduce me to him?" asked Li Xiaoqian.

"Uh...... This ......" Sakurai Shizuka was stunned for a moment, and asked with some joy, "What, Miss Kone-chan thinks that Hondo-kun is qualified to attack the final victory of the kendo tournament, and wants to find out the information in advance?"

Li Xiaoqian said in her heart that this is really not.

In fact, Shizuka Sakurai said, "Don't care about the enemies hiding in the night, and run the kendo tournament well and participate in it first", why didn't Li Xiaoqian understand it.

The kendo tournament is to prepare for battle, but also to show strength - since you can't find the enemy hiding in the shadows for a while, then at least let the other party know that we are not easy to mess with!

Li Xiaoqian herself does not practice kendo, and what she has majored in in the past three years is part of the "Unified Military Technique" and "Pas de Deux" of the academy, and the other part is the "Dragon Dance" taught to her by Li Xiaosen.

But as the leader of the Huaxia Shanmen team, Li Xiaoqian naturally understands the seeded players of the conference, especially those who are expected to win the championship of the conference.

"Catherina from Europe, Tang Qin from your Japanese Sword Gym, and a young talent from our Huaxia are the three people who are most likely to win the championship. ”

Li Xiaoqian looked at the Japanese girl who was chatting and fell in love, and patiently explained, "But your Sakurai Hondo is also very good." Although I don't think it's likely that he will win the title, during the day, he showed a perfect walk...... To be honest, although I don't know much about kendo, this is the first time I've seen such an extreme slash. ”

"What do you mean by 'my hondo'......" Shizuka Sakurai couldn't help blushing, thought for a while, and couldn't help asking, "So the strength of Hongdo-kun is far from the three you said?"

If Li Xiaoqian is a person who is proficient in human affairs, she will definitely say: "Worse, but not too bad." ”

But the reality is -

"Yes, in terms of absolute strength, it's still quite a bit worse. Li Xiaoqian said, "In fact, it is not at the same level at all. ”

Shizuka Sakurai's smile was a little stiff for a while: "......"

It turns out that in the past three years, Li Xiaoqian has grown a lot in many ways, but she is still the same Li Xiaoqian after all.

In the military pavilion, I heard the commander Miao Miao say, "Call me sister, you can call me young", so she immediately obediently changed her name to "Aunt Miao Miao", the straight daughter of steel, Li Xiaoqian!

"Okay......" Shizuka Sakurai can now match the Huaxia beautiful girl in front of her with the sister in Li Xiaosen's mouth, and suddenly thought of something, "You just said that the strongest among the participants is Catherina from Northern Europe, Tang Qin from our Sword Pavilion, and one of you from Huaxia Mountain Gate? Could it be the legendary Miss Yuhuayun of the Daomen?"

Don't look at Sakurai Shizuka's strength is not strong, but for famous people in the professional circle, she is like a treasure, otherwise she would not have been able to explain the major events of the past three years to Li Xiaosen at the beginning.

So this is really a girl who is destined to belong to the professional circle, no matter how strong or weak she is, her heart has never left the professional circle.

"Of course it won't be Senior Sister Yuhuayun. Li Xiaoqian smiled, "If Senior Sister Yuhuayun comes to participate, Miss Tang Xin of the Sword Pavilion and the one from Northern Europe will definitely not be able to sit still." ”

"So Xiaoqian, what you just said about Huaxia's favorite to win the championship is-" Shizuka Sakurai has unconsciously called "Xiaoqian" directly.

Li Xiaoqian didn't mind, and said: "Oh, it's my junior brother, he is one year younger than me, and he entered my Huaxia Dao Sect two years ago." Two years ago, he was quite ordinary, but now, Dan Qingzi and Nanli joined forces, and they may not be able to beat him. ”

"So powerful?" Shizuka Sakurai was surprised.

"yes, a super genius indeed. Li Xiaoqian nodded, "Maybe the ...... will be on the list in the future."

"What about the name, boy, is it handsome?" Sakurai Shizuka asked curiously, she was a young girl after all, and she was inevitably very interested in this kind of "young, genius, and radiant" character.

Li Xiaoqian's lips moved slightly, and she was about to speak, but she heard a sudden loud bang at the foot of the snowy mountain in the distance!

Small talk is small talk, when the situation really happens, it can be seen that Li Xiaoqian's strength is not the same as three years ago, she reacted extremely quickly, stood up in an instant, and it hardly took any time to enter the combat state!

When the power is running, Li Xiaoqian's instinct rises sharply, her body and the "Little Xiaoqian" she wears echo each other, and then under the resonance of the "pas de deux", she is provided with the strength to surpass the commander level and climb sharply!

Li Xiaoqian raised her fist, and there was a faint shadow and roar of a giant dragon around her body.

I can't think of it, Sakurai Shizuka behaved like an ordinary person, and with a bang, she was shaken up from the ground by the violent vibration transmitted at the same time as the loud noise, and sat on a large decorative stone behind her.

"It hurts!" Sakurai Shizuka's tears were about to flow out, and for the sake of her image, she endured it and didn't rub her aching buttocks.

Then she suddenly opened her eyes wide, as if she had found a new world, pointed in the direction from which the loud noise came, and exclaimed, "Yes...... It's the residence of Hondo-kun!"

Li Xiaoqian: "What?!"

There was no time to react, and a figure like wind and fire suddenly swept overhead.

The figure brought a burst of northern ice sea-like flavor, and there was a strong blood qi, a bit similar to the martial arts spirit of the ancient Chinese warriors, but the blood qi was heavier. The cold of the sea of ice, and the blazing heat of the bloody blood at the tip of the knife, are blended together-

This is the unique class atmosphere of the Norse Berserker!

"Gabru?" Li Xiaoqian recognized the figure who was rushing towards the loud noise, "What happened?"

"What the hell is going on with Catherina's mad girl, running out in the middle of the night with me behind her back!" Gabru roared, "Is there anything else this madwoman has in her mind besides swords and swords?!"

Gabru was fast, like an angry locomotive, and by the time he said the second half of the sentence, the man was already gone.

Although he said it briefly and was a bit clueless, combined with Sakurai Shizuka's words, Li Xiaoqian quickly guessed a rough idea.

"Nordic Catherina, shouldn't she run to Sakurai Hondo overnight to fight?" Li Xiaoqian still couldn't believe it.

Although it is said that "leave the secret enemy alone and participate in the kendo tournament first", but is there really an impatient guy like Catherina?

"You stay here, I'll go over and take a look,......" Li Xiaoqian said halfway through, and had to reluctantly change her words, because Sakurai Shizuka firmly grasped her hand, and the meaning was obvious, "...... Okay, hold on, I'll take you there. But this ...... What the hell is going on?"
