Hokkaido, Japan.

Deep in the midst of a lush bamboo forest, a towering ancient temple courtyard is filled with gorgeous cherry blossoms.

This is not the season when cherry blossoms should be in full bloom, but because of the young man in a pale blue hat standing quietly in the incense hall, the flowers are a little more brilliant than in spring. A silver-haired girl in a black tights with a coiled dragon embroidered with silver thread walked up to the man and whispered, "Master, here they are." ”

Wind Demon Qin was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, he slowly turned around and said softly, "Please let them in." ”

Ling Long nodded, turned around, left, and led a group of people back after a while. Wind Demon Qin stretched out his hand and said, "Uncles, please sit down." ”

There are a total of eight people here, all of whom are important figures in the Spirit Wind Hall, and they are gathered here this time for the convening of the clan conference. Only three of them said hello and said, "Patriarch, long time no see." It wasn't until the other five sat down that they turned their gazes to Wind Demon Qin, and they didn't say a word.

Feng Moqin didn't care, and sat silently next to the main table, and Ling Long stood beside him and said, "Master, everyone is here." ”

Wind Demon Qin looked at the chair closest to him, but it was empty. He didn't rush to speak, but waited quietly for five minutes, but no one came.

Ling Long looked at Feng Demon Qin, his eyes were gray and cold for a while, and the latter's expression obviously showed a little loss, but he quickly hid it.

"Guys, let's get the meeting started." Wind Demon Chin finally announced.

The scene was cold for a while, and there was no communication between the eight people at all, not at all like blood relatives. Everyone just mechanically took out the account book, walked down, and collected them one by one.

"Master."

Wind Demon Qin took the account book in his hand, thought about it, didn't look at it, just put it on the table on the side, and one of the oldest long-haired old men said, "Patriarch, who are you?" ”

He was also one of the three people who had just greeted Wind Demon Chin.

Wind Demon Qin smiled and said, "Everyone, in fact, we all know in our hearts that the account book can be faked, if you have done something behind your back, if I don't bother to check it, I will definitely not know." ”

At this time, a bald middle-aged man said, "Nephew, what do you mean by this?" Do you mean that we have hidden selfish interests? ”

Listening to his tone, it didn't seem to be respectful, a little arrogant, and even a little disdainful, and even the title was not the word "patriarch". The long-haired old man's face changed, and he asked: "Old Seven, this doesn't seem to be the attitude you should have, and the patriarch didn't say anything, you are in such a hurry to refute, does it mean that there are no three hundred taels of silver here?" ”

"Big brother, you are serious, I just think that there should be the most basic trust between us." The bald head snorted coldly, his eyes were indifferent, the long-haired old man was in a hurry, and was about to continue speaking, but Wind Demon Qin suddenly raised his hand and interrupted him in a hurry.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't want to pursue anything." Feng Moqin said, "I personally don't value profits, if all the uncles here have their own ways to seek more benefits for each other, I am actually very happy for you." We are not going to talk about the accounts today, but we have something more important to announce to you, in other words, for the sake of the long-term interests of you. ”

The bald head glanced at Feng Moqin, lifted Erlang's legs, and said: "If you have anything to say, just say it quickly, we also have our own things to be busy, unlike you, who is very idle, and sometimes you don't even care about the life or death of the people around you." ”

"Old Seven!" The gray-eyed man beside the long-haired old man poked his crutches suddenly, "Is this what you should say?!" ”

The face of the long-haired old man is already difficult to see the extreme, and the atmosphere is also weird to the extreme for a while, everyone knows in their hearts what the bald finger is, and once that matter is put on the table, it means that it is difficult to have a calm mind and the possibility of ending.

Wind Demon Qin was silent, Ling Long's heart suddenly ached, back then Wind Demon Qing died tragically, and sure enough, to this day, some people blame Wind Demon Qin, saying that he was cowardly, saying that he was powerless to resist the police, not only that, Wind Demon Qing's talent in ninjutsu is actually higher than that of Wind Demon Qin, and because of this, some people even say that Wind Demon Qin deliberately killed him back then.

Of course, Ling Long knew in his heart that because of his brother's death, for more than ten years, Feng Demon Qin had suffered a great amount of pain in his heart, but to this day, there are still people who want to criticize him for this matter...... She was distressed, she never saw him hurt in any way.

"Uncle Seven...... How can you say that...... The host is actually very sad too...... And didn't he also avenge the third master a few days ago......" Ling Long said in a faint voice, and there was already a cry for the Wind Demon Qin in the depths of his breath, but others couldn't detect it. The bald head suddenly slapped the table and scolded: "You shut up for me!" What are you?! Worthy of speaking here?! Don't think that you are the 'Sixteen Thieves' to talk about our family affairs! The next person is the next person, and if you have a low status, you don't have this qualification, do your own thing, understand! ”

"Uncle Seven...... I ......" Ling Long clenched his fists and lowered his head deeply, perhaps because he really felt that his status was low, and he didn't dare to speak anymore. Wind Demon Qin took a breath, looked back at Ling Long, shook her hand, smiled at her, and said, "It's okay, don't take it to heart." After saying that, he turned his head to look at the bald head, and his eyes suddenly changed.

"Seventh uncle, I have already explained to you what happened back then, if there are still people who bite tightly, it is not the reason to be a family, not to mention that relatives don't need to explain anything to each other, after all, no one wants the scene to be too embarrassing, are you right?"

While saying this, Wind Demon Qin emphasized the word "mutual", and the implication was that if you really want to bring up the old things again, do some of you also need to give me an explanation for what you are doing behind your backs.

When the bald head heard this, he stopped talking, and turned his gaze to the ceiling, drifting.

Wind Demon Qin nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Since it's okay, then I will officially announce it, and I also said that this is for the sake of everyone's more long-term interests - from now on, I plan to stop all illegal actions related to tomb robbery and treasure theft within the clan, and all handicap will be changed to a serious antique business, only as a transit business, and no longer go to the ground, and strive to completely whitewash the Spirit Wind Hall within ten years." ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar, except for the long-haired old man, the gray-sidedness man, and another person who greeted the Wind Demon Qin, the remaining five people all jumped up from their chairs.

"Nephew, are you crazy?" The bald head said anxiously with a monkey face.

"Uncle Seven." Wind Demon Qin said with an unchanged face, "I'm not joking, let alone discussing, this is a decision I've made. ”

Behind the bald head, a man wearing a jade wrench on his hand said: "Eldest nephew, it seems that you are still too immature in terms of business, do you know that by making this decision, we will lose many ways to make money, and how much profit we will lose, which can also be said to be planning for longer-term interests?" ”

Wind Demon Qin nodded: "Of course, I believe everyone knows what happened recently, the Qingyun Society and the Star God have suffered heavy losses, the Flying Eagle Team is in full swing, and the whole world is severely suppressing large and small treasure thieves, and they can't enter the ghost market, and the Spirit Wind Hall is bound to bear the brunt." It is certain that our business will become more and more difficult to do next, a little careless, and even fall into a situation of no return, if you turn to the right line, although you will suffer labor pain at the beginning, but over time, you will be able to get a more stable and secure income, why not? ”

The five of them were not persuaded by the Wind Demon Qin, but shook their heads even more. The bald head said: "Big nephew, I think you were scared by the police, just for the sake of the Flying Eagles, you are willing to give up such a large amount of business and such a huge profit?!" If the Flying Eagles dare to come, let them come! The Wind Demon Clan has been in this industry for a hundred years, how can it be lost in your hands today?! ”

The jade wrench also echoed: "That's right! Eldest nephew, don't blame your uncle for being outspoken, but what you can say is also for your own good, you are cowardly by nature and don't know how to use iron-fisted means, if it weren't for this, the Spirit Wind Hall would not have suffered such a huge loss back then! If you're afraid, it's your own decision, and we won't agree to it! ”

"That's right! That's right! The remaining three spoke one after another, and at this time, the long-haired old man also stood up and retorted: "You guys, you are too young and vigorous! I think the patriarch's decision should be supported! Just because we are the Spirit Wind Hall, we are bound to pay a heavy price while making huge profits! If we had done the right thing back then, how could there have been the tragedy of Operation Wind Hunting? After so many years, aren't there enough people in the clan who have died at the hands of the police?! ”

"Big brother! You're just too old! I only know that I am greedy for life and afraid of death! Do you think that if you do the right thing, the Flying Eagles will let us go? Dream on! At that time, I am afraid that I will only be slaughtered by others, so it is better to fight with them to the end! The Wind Demon family is so huge, let's see who can consume whom! ”

"What? Do you want to disobey the patriarch's will?! ”

"Since it's a clan assembly, it's all about discussing together! If you really want to vote, that's a lot of us! Wind Demon Qin, you are a junior after all, and it is impossible for everything to follow your will! ”

Seeing that the quarrel between the two sides was getting more and more intense, and the scene was about to get out of control, Feng Moqin stood up and said calmly: "Don't quarrel yet, everyone. ”

The voice was too peaceful, far less loud than the sound of their quarrel, and for a moment no one heard it.

"Master, this ......" Ling Long asked, asking if Wind Demon Qin needed to do something.

Wind Demon Qin didn't say anything, just silently watched all this.

After a few seconds, he saw Wind Demon Qin's hand move suddenly, the spacious sleeves of Da Yu fluttered, and a carved long knife appeared in his hand at some point. The blade slashed through it, setting off a strong wind that blew through everyone's ears, and everyone's hair fluttered, except for the bald head.

Everyone stopped abruptly and stared blankly at Wind Demon Qin, and their voices abruptly stopped. It was so fast that it seemed to be only between lightning and flint, and no one even noticed the movement of his sword. In the next second, they suddenly realized that the killing intent could not be detected in the strong wind, but the faint aroma of cherry blossoms outside the incense hall was vaguely swept in.

"I'm sorry, but I just wanted you to listen to me quietly." Wind Demon Qin withdrew his long knife and said lightly.
