Chapter 26: Adoption of Patriarch 2 Yi

November 1st.

On the second day after Musashi left, Liuxia came to the bamboo forest in the northern suburb of Guanbuzi, followed the stone road in the forest, and came to the Liangyi mansion again.

Unlike the last time when she came here and had to use the [breath blocking] skill to sneak in from the bamboo forest, this time, Liu Xia came to the gate of the mansion openly and directly knocked on the door.

In the first ten days of October, the Liangyi family had sent an invitation to Liu Xia, saying that the head of the family planned to have a detailed discussion about his assassination of Liang Ri. It was not easy for Musashi to know about the conflict between the Liangyi family, so he postponed the invitation.

And now that Musashi left, whether it was the conflict with the Liangyi family or the identity of the killer, it didn't matter how it was exposed, he came here, ready to completely resolve this grievance with the Liangyi family.

After Liu Xia knocked on the door, the wooden door was soon opened from the inside, revealing the figure of a young man.

He was probably a servant of the Liangyi family. He was wearing a black suit, and his hair and clothes were combed very well. He had a sense of etiquette similar to a housekeeper or a deacon, who would treat anyone who came with respect and respect.

"Mr. Cang Mimu, please come inside."

He even used the honorific title of 'Mr.' to Liu Xia, who was only 11 years old this year.

Under the guidance of the young servant, Liu Xia once again walked into this Japanese-style building.

The servant did not lead Liu Xia to the living room, but brought Liu Xia to the dojo in the mansion.

"Clang!"

"bump!"

"Clang!"

Before getting close, you could hear the sound of metal crashing from the dojo, as well as the sound of people hitting the wall and knocking things down.

"Master, Miss, Mr. Cang Mimu is here."

The young servant stood outside the door, not looking at anyone or anything in the dojo, bowed slightly, lowered his head, motionless, and told the two people in the dojo with an extremely respectful expression and tone.

"I see, Qiulong, you go down first."

From the dojo, a middle-aged man's voice was as hoarse as a very old tree, but as stable as Mount Tai.

"yes."

The young servant called 'Qiu Long' still lowered his head, obeyed the middle-aged man's order, backed away slowly, then turned and left.

As a guest, Liu Xia doesn't need to obey the rules like Qiu Long, standing outside the door and looking towards the direction of the dojo.

In the dojo, the wooden floor seemed to be taken care of all the time. There was no dust, and it could even be said to be shiny. There was almost nothing in the wide dojo, except for a few weapon racks around it.

However, at this moment, the weapon rack also fell to the ground because it was hit by someone, and several wooden knives, real knives, and scabbards placed on it also fell to the ground in a disorderly manner.

The two men were sitting on the ground next to the weapon rack. Although they were holding a long knife in their hands, they were being pointed at by the middle-aged man who was holding another knife at the moment, as if if he made a slight movement, he would It was like being hacked from top to bottom by a long knife.

"I lost."

Although there was a bit of reconciliation on the faces of the two ceremonies, after taking a deep breath and calming down, they still gave up struggling and made a declaration of surrender on their own initiative.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man backed away without saying a word, and then retracted the long knife in a standard posture. With the back of the knife along the tiger's mouth, the knife in his hand returned to the scabbard with a 'click'.

The two stood up from the ground, and the two faced each other and bowed, which marked the end of this discussion.

"Kuramimu-kun, please come in."

The middle-aged man turned around, looked at Liu Xia who was standing at the door of the dojo, and gave Liu Xia permission to enter with a hoarse and steady voice.

Generally speaking, in this kind of family with swordsmanship inheritance, outsiders are not allowed to see the swordsmanship exchange between the head of the family and the heir, let alone an irrelevant person like Liu Xia, even the most loyal in the family Don't even think about peeking at the slightest bit, otherwise you will be punished by the owner.

That's why the young man named Qiu Long lowered his head so low.

However, before the arrival of Qiulong and Liu Xia, the middle-aged man and the two ceremonies had already ended, even if he looked up, he would not be able to see any secrets, even if Qiulong really looked up, the Patriarch would not say anything, but he He still kept his head down the whole time, and can only say that Qiulong's loyalty is indeed from the heart, without any falsehood.

After the middle-aged man gave permission, Liu Xia walked into the dojo.

However, he did not intend to take off his shoes and walk to the floor, but stood at the porch at the entrance of the dojo.

"I'm going back."

The two ceremonies didn't even look at Liu Xia. After sheathing the saber in his hand on the weapon rack on the other side, he turned and left the dojo, and soon he couldn't even see the figure.

The middle-aged man didn't care about the impoliteness of the two ceremonies, and turned his head to look at Liu Xia.

He didn't put down the knife in his hand, but directly carried it, and came to Liu Xia.

"I've heard what happened from Shiki."

The middle-aged man stood there, his wrinkled face looked meticulous, his hands were straight beside him, his gaze was slightly lowered, and he looked down at Liu Xia in front of him.

"She stopped me from taking revenge on you on the grounds of 'you are also a victim'. I agreed to her, but this matter cannot end here. Anyway, you almost killed my daughter. In fact, there is no reason not to liquidate."

The middle-aged man is the father of Liang Yi and the current head of the Liang Yi family. At this moment, his slightly lowered eyes are looking up and down Liu Xia. Seeing that his face still does not fluctuate in the slightest, and he does not even have a trace of fear, it is insignificant. Cha nodded.

In the case of enmity with Liangyi's family, in the hinterland of Liangyi's base camp, even when he faced the situation with a knife, he still maintained an unwavering posture. For an 11-year-old, he is really excellent foul.

Thinking of the quality of "extremely proficient in assassination", "lurking into Liangyi's house without anyone discovering", and "threatening her without fear to achieve cooperation", the head of Liangyi's eyes flickered slightly.

"I heard that your parents just died at the hands of the previous serial killer, and you just lost your guardian."

Patriarch Liangyi looked at Liu Xia with a scrutiny in his eyes, "If you are willing to accept my adoption and become my adoptive son, then the previous matter with you and Shi will be cancelled."

"I won't force you to do anything. The Liangyi family will also be your backing in the future. Even if you continue to be a killer, they will give you some support in both black and white. What do you think?"

This is not so much a settlement as a bribe.

"The conditions are good."

Liu Xia nodded, as if she agreed with the conditions proposed by Patriarch Liangyi, but then he changed the subject.

"But, I refuse."
