In the southernmost part of Cross Street, the tall and majestic marble auditorium is full of seats. The dome is supported by twelve columns, and the flowing golden thread outlines a magnificent scroll of ten thousand monsters on it. Half of the people present are monsters and half are humans.
After Xia Yan was tried and convicted, the Black Tower incident officially came to an end, and revisions to the Peaceful Coexistence Regulations were also put on the agenda.
In the past, the Demon Elimination Realm and the Demon Realm separated powers. Human beings managed the Court of Justice and the Monster Race managed the Black Tower, and the two sides were not allowed to interfere with each other. Although the two worlds are more or less aware of the drawbacks of such a system, they cannot be easily changed due to various reasons. After the incident with the Black Tower, they were finally able to revise and improve the regulations in a legitimate manner. After deliberation, there will be monster races entering the Court of Justice from now on. In contrast, humans will also enter the Black Tower and serve as prisons.
The two worlds have reached an agreement on this, and changing the regulations for peaceful coexistence is the final step. Since the promulgation of the regulations, it was the first time to modify its content. Such a big event naturally attracted the attention of both worlds. Not only the demon clan and demon masters were present, but even the media oriented to ordinary human society came happily. Record this extraordinary scene.
The Demon Elimination World is personally represented by the old director of the Demon Elimination General Bureau. On the other hand, according to the logic of the monsters, if they want to be the strongest, Yu Huai is naturally pushed out to represent the demon world.
After the two came to the stage, they cast a spell on the final draft of the regulations placed in the center and drafted by Xuan Tan himself eleven years ago. Tens of thousands of luminous golden characters gradually appeared in the air one by one, and the contents of the regulations on peaceful coexistence were neatly arranged. , like a huge translucent curtain.
The regulations slide slowly until there are regulations about the Inquisition and the Dark Tower. New characters appeared out of thin air, automatically replacing the original content, and after rearranging, the golden characters suspended in the air all shone brightly.
After the revision was completed, there was a tidal wave of applause at the scene. Xu Yinian sat in the back seat, and he looked at the first row of seats in front. In addition to the directors of the various sub-bureaus, the heads of the four families are sitting on the side of the Demon Elimination Realm. Xia Ziheng was the youngest among them. He was dressed in formal attire, smiling and clapping without showing any timidity.
Chen Ran whispered next to Xu Yinian: "Unexpectedly, he is quite decent."
Xu Yinian joked, "Wouldn't you be able to hook your shoulders when you see Xia Ziheng in the future? That's disrespectful."
Chen Ran smiled for a while, and said in a more serious tone: "It's not easy for him. He left too many things in the past and didn't understand anything. When he first entered the Demon Elimination Bureau, he often stayed up at three or four in the morning. The situation is much better now. gone."
The atmosphere was tense for a moment, and Xu Yinian changed the subject: "I heard that you are going to enter the demon extermination game ahead of time. Congratulations. You will join hands with him to become a social animal soon."
Chen Ran heard the schadenfreude in his words, snorted and said, "You're having fun...how is that going?"
Xu Yinian's eyes fell to the first row again, and when he saw the figure in the center, his eyes sank slightly: "There should be a result soon."
After the ceremony, the crowd began to gradually disperse, Xu Yinian and Chen Ran bid farewell, and walked against the flow of people to the front.
"Master." Xu Yinian stopped Tang Fei who had just finished speaking with the people beside him. The latter turned his head and looked at him lightly.
As Yu Huai said, Xu Yinian didn't think about those things, smiled at Tang Fei as usual, and then said embarrassedly: "I was too anxious on the day of the graduation ceremony, I shouldn't have talked to you like that, I'm sorry."
Seeing that he was subdued as soon as he came up, Tang Fei's eyebrows softened a little, and he responded to the apology.
Xu Yinian took advantage of the situation and said, "I haven't stayed at your house this year, so I... I have something to ask you, is it convenient for you recently, Master?"
Tang Fei didn't answer immediately, if any real eyes fell on Xu Yinian's face, it would almost make people feel that there was nowhere to hide. Xu Yinian's nerves were tense, especially when Tang Fei stepped forward and approached him. Xu Yinian smelled the cool sandalwood fragrance on his body, and cold sweat broke out on his back for a moment.
Tang Fei said inexplicably, "I thought you'd already forgotten about it."
"How could it be?" Xu Yinian said cheekily, "I don't have to come here every year. This year, because of my graduation, I didn't have time to tell you immediately."
Tang Fei looked at him for a moment, and finally agreed: "Then come over tomorrow, do you need me to send someone to pick you up?"
Xu Yinian waved his hand: "No need, I haven't lived at home recently, just come here by myself."
Tang Fei paused for a moment and nodded.
Different from the other three houses, the Tang family is adjacent to Shizi Street, only a hundred meters away from the General Bureau of Demon Elimination. A huge transparent barrier enveloped the entire mansion, and visitors who did not receive the invitation from the master could not even find the entrance.
Xu Yinian walked through the corridor, and the laurel in the garden was slowly blooming, filling the air with a refreshing fragrance. He had no time to care about the patchwork landscape along the way, so he pushed the door straight into the study.
"Master," Xu Yinian looked at the tall and slender figure beside the bookshelf, "I heard that you are here, so I came here directly."
"Why don't you take a rest first?" Tang Fei was holding a book related to the contract in his hand. Hearing the voice, he put the book back, and at the same time motioned to the sofa with his eyes, "Sit down and talk if you have anything to do."
The porcelain tea set on the small table exuded the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus orchids, and Xu Yinian poured tea for him: "On the day of the graduation ceremony... I said I was going to find Yu Huai, and I talked to him about the marriage contract of the ghost clan." thing."
Tang Fei responded with the same expression as usual: "How is the result?"
Xu Yinian put down the tea set and sat down on the sofa. He looked at Tang Fei and said solemnly, "Master, Yu Huai and I are together again."
Tang Fei frowned: "What did you say?"
Seeing that Xu Yinian didn't speak, Tang Fei's expression turned serious: "How dare you be with him? Did you put the fortune teller's words aside completely?"
"I've made up my mind." Xu Yinian's tone was extraordinarily firm, "Yu Huai said, no matter what the fate is, he must be with me. Since he is so determined, I have no reason to escape."
"Nonsense!" Tang Fei put the teacup in his hand heavily on the table, "You don't want to die? What will you do when Yu Huai hates you in the future? Don't forget what happened five years ago."
Xu Yinian seemed to have expected that he would reprimand him, so he poked his neck and said, "Anyway, I'm not afraid."
His attitude undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, and Tang Fei's face sank completely. Without waiting for Tang Fei to speak, Xu Yinian said bluntly, "Master, did you resolve the marriage contract between me and Yu Huai?"
Tang Fei didn't seem to expect him to mention this suddenly. After being slightly startled, he asked coldly: "A marriage contract how many years ago... Do you doubt me?"
Xu Yinian was silent, but his attitude was very clear. Tang Fei laughed back angrily: "What did Yu Huai tell you? Although I don't get along with him, I didn't expect him to use such low methods."
"Master!" Xu Yinian raised his voice slightly, but Tang Fei didn't stop: "How long have you been with him, and you're so gullible in his one-sided words?"
"Because he has always misunderstood that I terminated it on my own initiative, and he often made trouble for me at the auction. I believe that Yu Huai did not terminate the marriage contract." Xu Yinian looked directly at Tang Fei, and became agitated unknowingly. "Except for you, Master, no one has the time and ability!"
Tang Fei met his eyes, looked at the stubborn expression on his face, and suddenly sighed, as if looking at an ignorant child.
"Yes." Tang Fei admitted, "I canceled it."
Xu Yinian pursed the corners of his lips. Tang Fei knew that he was waiting for his explanation, so he said softly: "At that time, you couldn't calm down and kept breaking up with him. I did this for your consideration. If I tell you the truth, according to your temperament, it will only make you more self-conscious. guilty."
Xu Yinian didn't expect him to have such an argument, and was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a moment.
Seeing that Xu Yinian was speechless, Tang Fei thought he was persuaded by him, so he softened his tone a little: "Even if you add five years ago, how long have you been with him, and how long have you been with me? Even if the dissolution of the marriage contract is I lied to you, you came to question me because of Yu Huai's words, you never thought about—"
"... that's enough, don't lie to me anymore." Xu Yinian couldn't bear to listen to what he said about Yu Huai, so he couldn't bear to interrupt him, "Master, do you really only think of me as your apprentice?"
Tang Fei's eyes moved slightly, noncommittal: "What do you mean?"
"I know all about it, those bed partners of yours..." Xu Yinian's voice trembled slightly, as if he couldn't speak, "You replaced their faces with mine."
Tang Fei's expression changed suddenly, his aura was extremely dark and he stared straight at Xu Yinian. But soon, Tang Fei suppressed his hostility, and maintained a gentle appearance on the surface: "Where did you know that?"
Xu Yinian's eyes were red, and he stared at him: "So you admitted it."
Tang Fei saw that he was shaking with excitement, and wanted to grab his hand as if to comfort him: "Xiao Nian, calm down first... I really like you, but I don't want to disturb you."
Xu Yinian swung Tang Fei away violently, clenched his five fingers into fists, as if he had made up his mind: "I will never see you again, and I will never call you Master again."
Tang Fei's hand stopped in mid-air, without saying a word. Xu Yinian didn't glance in his direction: "I'm leaving."
Seeing that he stood up without hesitation after finishing speaking, Tang Fei said coldly, "Stop."
Xu Yinian paused, and continued walking without looking back, Tang Fei was furious: "I tell you to stop!"
A light blue barrier suddenly rose up, sealing him like a cage. Xu Yinian's pupils shrank sharply, and he punched the barrier. The seemingly thin barrier was not affected at all, only the surface was rippling like a lake. Ripples in circles. Seeing the same seal symbolizing Tang Fei as it was five years ago, Xu Yinian's face changed - he didn't expect that after the talks between him and Tang Fei collapsed, the other party would stop pretending and directly restrict his freedom.
Xu Yinian slapped the barrier forcefully with both hands, and roared, "What are you doing!"
Tang Fei stood up and walked in front of him step by step.
The exorcising master who is just a few feet away is like a ghost who has torn off its skin, showing the most real appearance in front of Xu Yinian, with an extremely gloomy voice: "Xu Yinian, I am good enough for you."
He had never been so kind to a person before, he gave Xu Yinian all his patience and tenderness, and even suppressed his desire for life, never forcing him, Xu Yinian actually wanted to sever ties with him.
"I raised you for eight years and served as your master for eight years. How dare you question me because of an outsider..." Tang Fei didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him, and instead put his palm against the knot that trapped Xu Yinian There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
But soon, that ray of emotion was enveloped by anger and greed again, Tang Fei looked strange, and his eyes seemed to be faintly glowing scarlet.
Xu Yinian never expected Tang Fei to have such great trust in him. It was only then that he came to his senses that when Tang Fei explained the reason for the termination of the marriage contract, he might really have thought that he would believe it—in Tang Fei's eyes, he was good enough to him, and he had to rely and trust him. Such wishful thinking is simply creepy.
"No...you don't think so yourself, you've always been good." Tang Fei actually laughed when he saw him standing still, his eyes slid from Xu Yinian's cheeks all the way to his neck, as if he was stroking him , "You have always listened to me since you were a child."
He can guess what Xu Yinian is thinking just by looking at him, the feeling of being in control is addictive. Until Yu Huai appeared again...
Tang Fei's eyes were gloomy, his slender fingers pierced through the barrier, and stretched towards Xu Yinian—
boom!
There was a loud bang outside the Tang family's mansion. The tyrannical demonic power seemed to tear apart the world. Feeling that the protective barrier outside the entire mansion was being destroyed, Tang Fei cast a spell of immobilization on Xu Yinian, Pinching his chin, forcing him to look up, he sneered at the same time: "It's fast enough. Before I did anything, Yu Huai chased after him like a dog smelling a scent."
"Get out!" Xu Yinian couldn't move, his eyes seemed to want to tear him apart.
Tang Fei patted his face lightly, not very hard, but with a hint of humiliation: "It's just right, you should be honest when he dies. Stay here obediently and wait for me to come back."
Xu Yinian watched Tang Fei turn and leave, eyes full of uncontrollable anger. When Tang Fei left the room, his angry expression gradually faded.
At the same time, layer after layer of illusions cast on him gradually faded away. "Xu Yinian" has a tall stature, and his facial features also reveal his true appearance.
The Patriarch of the Illusory Demon Clan is unparalleled in the world in illusion, which is enough to deceive Tang Fei's eyes.
"Fuck me." Hua Hengjing lifted the illusion on himself, Junyi's face was slightly distorted, and he rarely burst into a rough sentence. He was covered in goosebumps and couldn't help touching his face, "Is this considered a work-related injury..."
Thinking of Tang Fei's appearance just now, Hua Hengjing felt lingering fear, and murmured: "Boss Yu, you have to win. Otherwise, when he comes back and finds that the goods are not right, I will be the one who died."
