Returning to Linghai City, the task of bringing the news to the Demon Slayer Building was handed over to the old wolf.

Li Xia, on the other hand, went home directly.

He was so tired.

Whether it is physical or mental, Li Xia has almost reached the limit.

When she opened the door, her aunt's face was happy at first, but when she saw Li Xia's embarrassed appearance, she quickly became worried.

"Xiao Xia, what's wrong?"

Li Xia shook his head and forced a smile.

"It's nothing, it's just, tired."

Inside the house, my aunt, as always, prepared a table full of meals for Li Xia.

It's all his favorite food.

Li Xia walked straight to the table, sat down, and then gobbled it up.

The movements are smooth, as usual.

It's just that there is a trace of sadness in Li Xia's eyes.

The aunt seemed to realize something, and looked at Li Xia in a daze, her eyes full of distress.

After washing up, Li Xia returned to the room.

Lying on the big bed that had been absent for a long time, the clues that I had glimpsed from Gu Zhenyu's memory were recalled in my mind.

Although he knew that the Spirit Sect had a plot against Linghai City, Li Xia didn't know what they wanted to do.

Motives, means, ends...

Li Xia didn't know anything about all this.

"What would you do if it were you?" Li Xia muttered.

Turned his head to look out the window.

The neon lights of the city are still flickering.

The moon in the sky is still bright.

It's as if nothing has changed.

It's as if everything has changed.

……

Demon Slayer Building.

Office of the Director.

After learning everything that happened in Lucheng from the old wolf, Qiu Yue fell silent.

I don't know how long it took for the old man in white sitting on the sofa to speak lazily.

"That stinky boy in Wind Valley, what's so strong."

"It's okay now, Lao Yang didn't save it, but folded himself in."

Qiu Yue frowned and said, "Old Chen, now is not the time to fall into the well, right?" ”

"Why, don't let people tell the truth?" Old Chen didn't have a good airway.

Qiu Yue sighed lightly and said, "The most important thing now is to think about where the seventh squad goes!" ”

Old Chen rolled his eyes, "I see that you only have that group of students in your eyes." ”

Qiu Yue ignored it, muttered for a long time, and said eloquently: "Since Wind Valley has been sealed, these students can only be assigned to other teams. ”

Chen Lao snorted coldly and said, "Nonsense." ”

"Old Chen, what do you mean by this?" Qiu Yue asked with some annoyance.

Chen Lao glanced at Qiu Yue lightly and said, "Although these students look no different from other interns, they are more united than you imagined. ”

"Have you forgotten the previous squad competition?"

"Their tactics and coordination are very tacit."

"If you separate such a perfect team, it will only backfire."

Qiu Yue pondered for a moment, although she didn't want to admit it, but what Chen Lao said was indeed quite reasonable.

"Tell me, what should I do?"

Old Chen frowned slightly, and said eloquently: "From the perspective of the system of the Demon Slaying Building, plus this mission, they have already obtained five points. ”

"That is, they can apply to be part of the experimental team."

"It's a bit risky, but it's better than letting them disband on the spot."

Hearing this, Qiu Yue couldn't sit still, "Old Chen, what kind of idea are you?" ”

"They're interns! The experimental team is going on a mission alone! ”

"Even if they do have more experience than the other squads, it's too risky!"

"I disagree!"

Old Chen sneered and said, "I didn't expect you to agree. ”

"I'm just informing you."

With that, he got up and stretched, and left in style.

"Lord Chen, he is still as domineering as ever."

The old wolf, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.

"Back then, he entered the Demon Slayer Building at the same time as Team Yang."

Qiu Yue nodded, "The relationship between the two of them is very good. ”

"Don't look at him just now, he was very calm, now, I don't know where to cry."

Hearing Qiu Yue's words, the old wolf smiled and said, "No wonder you deliberately avoided that topic just now. ”

"It seems that you know a lot about your master."

Qiu Yue didn't speak, just looked out of the door lightly, thoughtful.

"What about you?" The old wolf spoke again.

"What?" Qiu Yue wondered.

"The matter of the old wind is not a small blow to you, right?"

Qiu Yue was stunned, and after a few seconds, he said in an extremely unnatural tone: "He? ”

"What's my business?"

"The seal is sealed."

"He chose it anyway."

"I can't persuade him."

"I've done everything I can, what else can I do?"

"He's gone, leaving me with a mess."

"Am I really his babysitter?"

"Stinky man!"

"No one wants it for the rest of your life!"

“……”

Qiu Yue took care of herself and broke her thoughts.

These whinings seem to be addressed to the old wolf.

It's like saying it to someone else.

……

Linghai City.

Village.

A dilapidated old house, a lonely figure.

In the bright moonlight, it looks extraordinarily vicissitudes.

Pushing open the door, there are flowers all over the ground.

There is only a narrow stone path that leads to the eaves.

Lan Ke touched the darkness and walked forward slowly.

There is a chair in front of the hall.

Sitting on the chair, you can see the flowers on the other side of the yard.

The flower that symbolizes salvation.

"The Flower on the Other Side," Lan Ke muttered, "You have been redeeming all your life. ”

"You always persuade others to let go, but you never let go yourself."

"You're tired of carrying the weight for so long."

"I finally understand now why you left with a smile."

"Maybe death is really a relief for you..."

Suddenly, a figure flashed outside the door.

Lan Ke was instantly vigilant.

"It's me."

Hearing Li Xia's voice, Lan Ke relaxed.

"How do you know this?" Lan Ke looked at Li Xia at the door and said curiously.

"Isn't that weird?"

"Isn't it strange?" Lan Ke asked rhetorically: "You have nothing to do with Team Yang, how do you know?" ”

Li Xia didn't answer, holding the cloud pattern sword in his hand, and walked to Lan Ke's side.

"This sword..."

"Team Yang gave it to me." Li Xia slowly spoke, "Team Yang, entrusted the dark building to me." ”

Lan Ke was silent for a long time and asked, "When?" ”

"On the day I met you." Li Xia said lightly, "It's a coincidence, right?" ”

Lanco nodded.

"I think it's a coincidence, too." Li Xia continued.

"You may not believe it, but I actually refused at first."

"Because I don't want to take on that responsibility."

"You can call me selfish."

"I do."

"But what law says that people can't be selfish?"

"I'm just trying to live my life."

After speaking, the two were silent again.

After a while, Lan Ke asked again, "Then why did you say yes now?" ”

Li Xia paused and chuckled, "Actually, it's not a promise." ”

"I just feel like there are some things that someone has to do."

"For example, the Guardian Terran ......"
