Although Xu Yinian's injuries are no longer serious, the damage to his body caused by excessive consumption of abilities cannot be recovered in a short time. In the battle with Yu Shuo, whether it was the extreme use of supernatural powers to gain time, or "borrowing life" from the Dao of Heaven, it put a huge burden on Xu Yinian's body.
In order to avoid sequelae, the medical doctor asked Xu Yinian to stop using his powers in the near future and rest in peace.
In contrast, Yu Huai completely recovered shortly after Xu Yinian woke up. Even though he was used to all kinds of monsters with extraordinary physical fitness, Yu Huai's extraordinary resilience surprised the medical doctors. After Yu Huai was discharged from the hospital, Xu Yinian could occasionally hear a medical doctor lamenting that the self-healing ability of the ghost clan was against science. If everyone had such a physical quality, the medical headquarters would probably not be able to operate.
During the recuperation period, Xia Ziheng and Chen Ran came to the medical headquarters to visit Xu Yinian with bags of fruit and snacks.
As soon as he entered the ward, Xia Ziheng greeted Xu Yinian, and then took out bags of puffed food from the supermarket shopping bag, and neatly spread them all over the small tea table.
Xu Yinian glared at Xia Ziheng: "You know I can't eat but you still buy it? On purpose?"
Xia Ziheng smiled at him unbearably, his chin facing Chen Ran, who was holding a fruit knife and peeling an apple unskillfully, said, "You are about to enjoy the first and possibly the last time in Master Chen's life. Are you happy with the apple peeling service?"
When Xu Yinian heard the words, the cloudy weather quickly turned clear: "From your description, it seems to be better than snacks."
Chen Ran had heard enough of the two people talking about cross talk, and raised the fruit knife in his hand as a warning, and the performance stopped.
Xia Ziheng opened a bag of potato chips, and asked casually, "Where's Boss Yu? Why didn't you see him?"
Xu Yinian ate an apple that was only one-third the size of its original size, and was a little worried when he heard the words: "The free port was too badly damaged in the last turmoil, he was busy with this work as soon as he recovered from his injury, and didn't have a good rest. "
Xia Ziheng heard him mention the matter of Free Port, and asked curiously: "What happened that day? I only heard you said it was 'excuse me'."
Although the turmoil in Freeport has been hotly discussed by the two circles, not many people really know the inside story, and all kinds of rumors are flying everywhere. Those who know a little bit just know that it is by "borrowing life" to turn the tide.
Xu Yinian told the two of them in detail about the battle that day. Xia Ziheng bit the potato chips until he heard the climax and exclaimed: "With the power of the sun, brother Xu, you are going to be included in the textbooks of Fengqiao College."
"While I'm still alive, I'm going to be recorded in history." Xu Yinian stepped forward and put on a show, "Do the math, you can count the number of exorcists with this kind of treatment on one hand."
"You are really impolite." Chen Ran snorted and laughed, and couldn't help asking, "How does it feel to borrow your life?"
Xu Yinian pondered for a long time, just when Xia Ziheng and Chen Ran thought he was going to hold back some profound insights, Xu Yinian sighed from the bottom of his heart:
"Fuck, I'm so handsome."
The two were speechless for a while, and one punched him. Xu Yinian hurriedly dodged: "What are you two, jealous? I'm a wounded...!"
After laughing, Xia Ziheng seemed to have thought of something, changed the subject and said, "By the way, Tang Fei's matter is basically over."
Chen Ran turned his head to the side: "I've heard about it too. The evil exorcisers who were implicated were basically arrested, and the trial process has started one after another."
Compared with Chen Ran, Xia Ziheng has a deeper understanding of this aspect, and he nodded: "Well, the old bureau chief did it himself, and didn't let the people below meddle too much. But once this matter is over, it shouldn't be over How soon will he retire."
"The general bureau is going to be replaced?" Xu Yinian was surprised and felt that it was reasonable. The old director was over fifty years old, and he was considered too old in the field of exorcising monsters. Even without Tang Fei's energy-consuming accident, there is a high probability that he will retire after this autumn.
Xu Yinian asked curiously: "Who will take over? Do you know?"
"I heard it's Director Song Qi of the Nanhai Sub-bureau." Thinking of Song Qi's accomplishments in the world of exorcising demons and his reliable style over the years, Xia Ziheng said, "It can be regarded as what everyone expects."
Just south of Shizi Street, the tall and magnificent marble auditorium is shining brightly, and the rare warm sun in early winter shines on the stained glass windows. Today's inauguration ceremony, which represents the replacement of the highest command position of the General Administration of Demon Elimination, is not open to the public, and the news media can only wait outside the venue. There are not many demon extermination masters who can enter the auditorium, but they are all important figures in the exorcism bureau.
When Song Qi stepped onto the stage, the exorcists who were talking in low voices raised their heads one after another. Less than three months after the revision of the Regulations on Peaceful Coexistence, successive major events in the demon world have broken the seemingly peaceful appearance for several years. The series of turmoil is completely over and is about to enter a new milestone.
According to the tradition, when each director of the General Administration of Demon Elimination takes office, he needs to personally record his name into the record scroll of the General Administration with his own power at the inauguration ceremony. This process seems simple, but in order to complete the burning on the thin reel steadily, it needs a lot of power transmission from the successor, and it also tests the precise control of the ability. This high-profile ceremony is therefore often seen as a simple test of the ability of the future helm within the Demon Elimination Administration.
Song Qi looked solemn when he was recording, and his five fingers never trembled. The supernatural power gushing out from his fingertips gradually condensed into powerful characters on the scroll with his smooth movements. The supernatural ability of the earth system makes Song Qi's handwriting a golden red like lava.
The last stroke fell steadily, and there was bursts of applause from the audience.
With a smile on his face, the old chief watched the scene with relief. Compared with ordinary people, the speed of aging of exorcists is slower. The old director's eyes were piercing and full of energy, and he looked only in his early forties. Beside him, Yu Huai also applauded.
As one of the few monster races invited to the scene, Yu Huai's appearance attracted the attention of the audience. The dust of the incidents related to the ghost clan has settled, and the truth that has been buried in the dark for many years has finally come to light. Thinking of the turmoil in Freeport some time ago, the old director asked concerned: "How is your body recovering? Are your injuries all right?"
"Thank you for your concern, it's all right now."
"I heard that you were all seriously injured when you were sent to the medical headquarters. It would be best if nothing happened." The old director smiled and turned his head while speaking, his eyes accidentally passed behind Yu Huai's ear, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a difficult situation. Purple rune of perception.
He paused, thinking he was dazzled, and asked a little hesitantly, "Xiao Yu, are you... the marriage contract rune of the ghost clan?"
Due to the strict restrictions on the marriage contract of the ghost clan, even in the past when the number of ghost clans was relatively large, few ghost clans would choose to enter into such a contract with their partners. Even the old chief was seeing this special marriage contract rune for the first time.
"Yes." Seeing his eyes falling behind her ears, Yu Huai admitted generously, "I didn't expect you to notice."
"Are you married? Why haven't you heard of it?" the old bureau chief said in surprise, "Song Qi didn't tell me either."
When they talked, they never deliberately lowered their voices. The demon exorcisers nearby cast their eyes one after another. Father Xu was sitting next to the old director. Hearing this, he couldn't help but look at Yu Huai.
"It's not long, and Director Song is actually not too clear about it." Yu Huai smiled politely at the old director, and then looked at Father Xu's somewhat similar eyes to Xu Yinian's, the look in his eyes was softer, and the smile was natural deepened a lot.
Xu's father was slightly startled, thinking of his son's marriage contract with Yu Huai, he felt a little subtle in his heart. But after thinking about it, Xu Yinian has been in contact with Yu Huai since this period of time. Not long after Tang Fei's incident happened last time, Xu Yinian didn't seem to be unusual when he went home and mentioned Yu Huai. Maybe he knew Yu Huai a long time ago. Huai is married, and the relationship between the two is probably more like friends now...
Thinking of this, Father Xu felt relieved, and out of politeness, he also smiled and nodded to Yu Huai.
After the inauguration ceremony was over, the demon masters present gradually left the venue. Father Xu congratulated Song Qi and left the auditorium. Many reporters were waiting outside, not only humans, but even a few monsters playing with cameras.
The demon world is now more and more advanced with the times, and there are also professions such as media reporters... Father Xu was sighing secretly, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the corner.
The boy leaned against the wall with his long legs propped on the ground, and was playing with his mobile phone one after another. He glanced at the door from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone.
Seeing this, Xu's father was quite surprised. He knew that Xu Yinian was only allowed to leave the medical headquarters today, but he didn't expect his son to drop by to pick him up.
It was the first time I had raised Xu Yinian for so many years. Xu's father was very pleased, and was about to step forward to stop him, when Xu Yinian also raised his head and looked this way.
In front of Father Xu, there were several demon extermination masters. They gathered in twos and threes and chatted while walking, almost blocking Father Xu's figure. Yu Huai walked in the front of the crowd. Because he was attending a formal occasion, it was rare for him to wear a formal attire. His back was straight and his figure was tall and neat.
Xu Yinian's eyes instantly focused on Yu Huai, completely oblivious to his father's loving gaze in the crowd.
Xu Yinian was about to get moldy after staying in the medical headquarters, and Yu Huai was too busy to see anyone because of the free port recently, the two hadn't seen each other for almost a week. As soon as he was allowed to leave the hospital, he simply came to wait outside the auditorium where the inauguration ceremony was held.
At noon, the ancient clock tower on Cross Street rang on time. The long-awaited figure finally appeared, Xu Yinian ran towards Yu Huai without thinking.
"Yu Huai!"
I haven't seen him for several days, not only Xu Yinian, but Yu Huai also softened his expression the moment he saw him, and the dark purple eyes naturally revealed intimacy. Seeing his appearance, Xu Yinian subconsciously wanted to get close to him.
But there are still many demon extermination masters from the Demon Extermination General Bureau around, and there are even reporters waiting to get first-hand information about the inauguration ceremony. Xu Yinian took the public place into account, and promptly withdrew the hand that was about to hug Yu Huai, and grabbed his arm instead, but his tone was not restrained at all, and even complaining seemed to be filled with a whole jar of syrup, with a hint of Wisps of sweet intimacy: "You finally came out, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
As early as when Xu Yinian rushed towards the crowd, the professional radars of the reporters were buzzing, and they pointed their guns and short cannons at the two of them. Among them, several reporters from the demon world completely lost their professional standards as journalists, forgetting to take pictures at the first time, not to mention, seeing Yu Huai not resisting Xu Yinian's approach at all, they looked as shocked as hell.
What are you doing, when did the relationship between Yu Huai and Xu Yinian get better
Sensing the sights cast from all directions, Yu Huai seemed to think of something, and the smile on the corner of her lips gradually deepened. He withdrew his arms held by Xu Yinian, and spread them out to the person in front of him: "Hold one."
Xu Yinian was stunned for a moment, thinking that Yu Huai, like him, considered that today's occasion was special and would not make any big moves, but he didn't expect to make such a request directly now. For a moment, Xu Yinian couldn't help but soften a little when he looked at Yu Huai.
I haven't seen you for a few days, this guy is still clingy.
This feeling is like being approached by animals such as lions or wolf dogs to act like a baby. Xu Yinian was happy in his heart, and he didn't want to care about the occasion, so he stretched out his hand and gently wrapped Yu Huai's shoulder.
He originally planned to hug him like this, but he didn't expect a pair of slender and powerful arms to wrap around his waist and hug him directly.
Such an undisguised intimacy caused the surroundings to fall into silence for a while. After a few seconds, the reporters who came to their senses kept taking pictures of the two, and the expressions on the faces of the monsters frantically pressing the shutter were brilliant. Several exorcists couldn't help turning their heads to look at Xu's father who was also stunned in place.
As expected of father Xu, who has seen strong winds and waves, he never lost his composure in the face of this situation, only his eyes showed a look of being struck by lightning.
It turned out that Xu Yinian didn't come to pick him up, but Yu Huai.
Yu Huai's marriage partner... Xu Yinian? !
Xu's father looked at his son, who was a bit unnatural, but obviously enjoying it, and felt very confused.
…
…
On the day of the Freeport Open Day parade, although many monsters witnessed Yu Huai supporting Xu Yinian on the float, whether the two got back together has never been definitively determined by the outside world, and there are only a few who really understand the situation.
Xu Yinian was caught off guard by Yu Huai, feeling that he had become the focus of the crowd, and his ears felt slightly warm. The dense clicking sound of the cameras in the ear has never stopped, and it is not necessary to think about how big waves these photos will cause in the demon world.
Perhaps in the next second, both of them will appear on the headlines of the entertainment section of the joint news of the two worlds.
Xu Yinian imagined that scene for a while, and couldn't help muttering: "It's over, if you do this, I have to open 800 trumpets to fight in the joint community."
If you think about it with your toes, the group of monsters will definitely stand up against this marriage.
Yu Huai was amused by him: "I've thought about this for a long time, so that they don't have to make up all day long." While speaking, he caught a glimpse of a leaving figure from the corner of his eye, and the smile on his face became more obvious. He put Xu Yinian down gently.
Xu Yinian finally realized something was wrong: "What are you laughing at?"
"I forgot to tell you," Yu Huai's eyes flashed a narrow look of a successful prank, "Your dad was behind me just now."
Xu Yinian immediately looked behind Yu Huai, and sure enough, he caught a familiar figure in the crowd. Xu's father left the auditorium in a direction where there were few people. I don't know if it was an illusion, Xu Yinian always felt a little desolate from his father's back.
Remembering that his parents didn't know about his relationship with Yu Huai, and that Yu Huai dared to pretend to be innocent with him, Xu Yinian simply stepped on Yu Huai's foot, grinding his teeth in a dark way:
"Forgot to tell me? When did memory degenerate?"
Yu Huai hissed, intentionally screaming for pain: "Pay attention to the impact, and be careful of being accused of domestic violence."
Seeing that Xu Yinian was about to beat someone up, Yu Huai calmed down and said, "Okay, okay, it's okay, Auntie actually knew about it a long time ago."
Xu Yinian froze for a moment: "What?"
"I've confessed to her before at the medical headquarters." Yu Huai paused for a moment, and continued, "Now that uncle also knows, I want to formally visit your house tonight, okay?"
After Song Qi's inauguration ceremony was over, relevant news was quickly released on the United Community, and the public forums were full of related news, but in the monster area where identity verification was required, the monsters were not talking about the new appointment of the Monster Elimination Bureau. supreme commander.
Today's joint community is extremely lively, and there was even a situation where it was impossible to log in due to too many visitors. One post after another filled the front page of the Monster Zone, and the screen was almost full of question marks and exclamation marks.
[I am not wrong, right? The one Yu Huai is holding is Xu Yinian? ? ]
[Is there any knowledgeable help to analyze, are these photos so seamless and reasonable? ]
[I know how to do it. For me, the photos are synthesized at first glance, and the video of hugging is directly replaced by AI. The human world is far more complicated than you imagined. Let’s go, brothers. ]
[Is it fun to deceive yourself? To tell you the truth, what you saw was all illusions, and the reporters on the scene were all illusions. ]
…
…
Although he decided to visit Xu's house at night, Yu Huai had to go back to the castle to continue handling affairs in the afternoon due to the heavy reconstruction work in Freeport.
In the study, Yu Huai browsed the new design drawings and construction plans of Obsidian Square, while Xu Yinian sank into the soft sofa chair not far away, and logged into the United Forum.
He browsed around the public version, but found nothing interesting, so he simply quit and entered the trumpet he bought, and logged into the monster zone as a cat monster.
Sure enough, this place is as lively as Xu Yinian imagined. His expression changed, and in the end he was even amused by the youkai's reluctance to accept reality.
When Yu Huai looked up, he happened to see the wonderful look on his face: "What are you looking at?"
"Look for fun." Xu Yinian slid down and saw more and more howling monsters, "It's been so many years, and they're still so humorous."
Yu Huai guessed that he was reading the discussion posts of the United Community. Seeing Xu Yinian watching with gusto, Yu Huai temporarily scrolled away from the information page related to Freeport, and opened the forum website that had never been logged in.
[Damn, I woke up and saw this after falling asleep, I actually feel a little cute, did I not wake up? ]
[It's pretty cute just by looking at it, but that's Xu Yinian! Xu Yinian! Whenever my husband changes his arms, I will immediately offer my most sincere blessings. ]
[Here is some bad news. My friend just came back alive from the pile of undead last month. Most of the free port saw it on the open day, and it was Xu Yinian. ]
[It's over, it's completely broken. I can't accept it, is there any turning point? ]
[Can you vote with a show of hands? I object to this marriage first. Does anyone agree? ]
…
…
Just as Xu Yinian wanted to display the spirit of sharing and sharing, he showed Yu Huai some of the particularly funny ones. In the next second, the page was automatically refreshed, and a new reply suddenly appeared at the top. After a short pause, the number of messages below it suddenly increased. Caton appeared.
Xu Yinian opened his eyes slightly, not sure if he was wrong.
He swiped up, and finally found the comment that caused an uproar among a lot of crying and howling. It comes from an account that has just passed Yaozu identity verification.
Following those half-truths and half-fake voices of agreement and objection, was Yu Huai's succinct reply:
[I agree is enough. ]
