The Lone Wolf of Tomorrow's Ark

Jueying looked at the band-aid on his finger, and said to Ibaraki Aoko with a change of heart:

"Your name is Aoko Ibaraki, right? You're good at bandaging. You should specialize in medicine. I thought everyone in the Ibaraki family focused on martial arts. By the way, let me tell you first. My name is Jueying. Don't Give me some weird nickname."

"Do you specialize in martial arts..."

After hearing Jueying's words, Ibaraki Aoko lowered his head in frustration and said:

"That's right, our Ibaraki family has always advocated fighting. Every child born starts training suitable for his age group as soon as he is sensible, but I am the only exception..."

"Oh? It sounds like there is a story. Come, come, tell me if you are unhappy, and let me have a good time."

Seeing that there was something to do, Jueying completely lost the respectful attitude towards Ibaraki Aoko just now, and sat cross-legged next to Ibaraki Aoko, his eyes were full of curiosity, just like a good baby.

Although Jueying's current behavior is very impolite, Ibaraki Aoko doesn't care. Seeing Jueying's expectation, she said:

"Since I can remember, I have been different from other children. Other children are running around alive and kicking, training with adults, but I can only be ordered by my grandfather to stay in the room and not go out to play with other children."

"Hooho."

After listening to this passage, Jueying nodded and said:

"Isn't this the kind of frail and sick lady in the novel? It's very realistic. Then you are so powerful now, do you have an adventure?"

"Stop making fun of me."

Ibaraki Aoko scowled at Jueying, and then said:

"I'm not sick, and my body is not weak. On the contrary, my physical strength has even surpassed the trend of adults. Obviously, I also want to train with everyone. At first I thought it was my grandpa who was worried about my injury. I I quietly learned a Qijin introductory manual in the family. I wanted to surprise my grandfather, but when he found out, he was so angry that he locked me in the room for a whole day and didn’t allow me to Eat, I don't even know where I went wrong."

"Huh? This, is this unreasonable?"

Jueying scratched his head quite puzzled, Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out, and he didn't understand what should be a happy thing, why is Ibaraki Aoko's grandfather angry?

"There's no one here, Xisan, just talk here if you have anything to say."

"Um?!"

Just when the two children were thinking hard, they suddenly heard the voice of Ibaraki Okada from the next room, and just after Ibaraki Okada finished speaking, a female voice also came:

"Well, thank you, Chief Okada."

"It's the tutor! Shhh—Qingzi, don't talk, let's go take a look."

"oh oh."

Hearing the voice of her tutor, Jueying's curiosity was aroused. What would the tutor need to talk about alone?

As the saying goes, curiosity will kill the cat, but Jueying is from the Volpo tribe, so Jueying directly decided to eavesdrop!

Quietly told Ibaraki Aoko not to make a sound, and then Jueying led her to the side of the sliding door, opened a gap silently, looked around, and saw that in the next room, Ibaraki Okada was kneeling with Xi , and none of the others.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Ibaraki Okada spoke first:

"Hissan, do you want to talk to me about something important? Then it's okay if you say so."

"Well, then I'll just say it, Chief Okada, your granddaughter is very unusual."

"Um?!"

Hearing Nozomi's words, Ibaraki Okada's pupils shrank, and his body tensed up. For a moment, his aura seemed to be violent and murderous at any time, but Nozomi just turned a blind eye and said:

"You don't have to worry about my malicious intentions. I know far more than you think."

Seeing Xi's calm and breezy look, Ibaraki Okada took a deep breath, gradually relaxed his body, and said:

"Xisan is really amazing. I wonder if Xisang can tell me, where did you see it?"

"Ibaraki-douji is a fictional monster in the last era of civilization, but people at that time didn't know that Ibaraki-douji really existed, but they never knew it, and only regarded it as a fictional character. And your bloodline has been passed down from generation to generation since that time, right?"

Nozomi did not answer Ibaraki Okada's question, but gave an introduction like the content of a textbook. After listening to this introduction, Ibaraki Okada seemed to let go of his guard and said to Xi:

"Xisan, you are indeed a wise man who knows things that others will never know. Well, let me confess it honestly. It is recorded in the ancient genealogy of the family that Ibaraki Doji is a very powerful monster. It has a blood-red unicorn, and it is Shuten-douji's subordinate, but he was cut off by a human and suffered great humiliation..."

"I don't need to talk about this kind of thing. I just want to know about your granddaughter, Aoko Ibaraki."

Without waiting for Okada Ibaraki to finish speaking, Nozomi interrupted him directly, and transferred the topic to Aoko Ibaraki quite unreasonably, but Okada Ibaraki was not angry, but calmly omitted most of the words and continued :

"From the first generation of Ibaraki Doji's descendants, because the Ibaraki family has few contacts, there are also some people who have intermarried with foreign races. This is also why Ibaraki's blood is getting thinner and thinner. Our horns are the most vivid evidence. We have changed from the bright red color of our ancestors. For the pure blackness of the predecessors, and now we are almost gone, Ibaraki has already declined, but Ibaraki Aoko is different, I have known her since she was born."

"Oh? How can you see it?"

"Because, I saw that when Qingzi was born, she only had a left hand, not a right hand, and her horn, which barely measures one centimeter, is exactly the same bright red color as her ancestor!"

Chapter 120 Four I'll Stop You

"Oh? Chijiao with one hand, do you mean that your granddaughter has atavism?"

"Yes, Xisan, I really thought so at first, but within a few minutes after Qingzi was born, her missing right hand appeared intact where it should have appeared. The horns also turned solid black, as if the situation was an illusion in the first place."

"Is that so, obviously there was an atavism at birth, but everything disappeared after just a few minutes..."

Touching his chin with his right hand, Xi lowered his head slightly, thinking about something, but Ibaraki Okada saw that Xi was thinking about something, so he stopped the next movement to speak, and just waited quietly.

After thinking for 3 minutes, Nozomi shook her head and said to Ibaraki Okada:

"continue."

"Well, although Qingzi's atavism was only for a few minutes, I'm 100% sure it's true, and during this period of time, she clearly showed something completely different from other children. I have a great interest in family martial arts."

"That's it."

Speaking of this, Xi didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, she glanced at the sliding door at the side without any trace, and that happened to be the place where Jueying and Ibaraki Qingzi hid and peeked.

"Hey?! I, have we been discovered? Yes, do you want to go out and surrender?"

"Surrender yourself, surrender yourself, what surrender! Can you be as masculine as a man! Be tougher!"

Seeing that Ibaraki Aoko became so frightened just after being stared at by his mentor, Jueying shook his head helplessly, forcibly stabilized his trembling legs, and then whispered to Ibaraki Aoko Said.

However, although Ibaraki Aoko was timid, she was not a fool, and directly responded with a little contempt:

"I'm a girl, why do I have to be as bold as a boy?"

"I... you... keep watching!"

Being choked by Ibaraki Aoko, Jueying didn't know what to say, so he could only turn his head while talking, trying to divert Ibaraki Aoko's attention to Xi and the two, but maybe Ibaraki Aoko finally found someone who could speak well. Overwhelming Jueying's chance, so she was not successfully diverted attention, but went on to say:

"You obviously..."

"To shut up!"

"Woo~ oh..."

Well, it seems that it is quite difficult for the current Ibaraki Aoko to overcome the character of being afraid of being frightened by others. No, I originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to bully Jueying, but in the end, I became angry from embarrassment , instantly wronged into a little milk cat, can only meow meow.

On the other side, after looking at the tiny gap, Xi didn't care, or pretended not to care, and asked Ibaraki Okada:

"Since your granddaughter is so talented in martial arts, why don't you let her participate in training? I didn't see any child who meets your granddaughter's qualifications in the martial arts arena today."

Hearing Nozomi's question, Ibaraki Okada remained silent for a long time, and then sighed deeply:

"……Ugh--"

With this sigh, Ibaraki Okada seemed to see something, and said:

"Forget it, it's hard to hide anything from Xisang now. To be honest, there is a sentence in the genealogy that warned future generations. The specific language is a bit old and not easy to understand. I'll tell you directly. Let’s talk about the translated content, to put it simply, if there is a clan member who has the phenomenon of returning to the ancestors among the younger generations, remember not to let her learn the family martial arts."

"Huh? This rule is a bit strange. It is obvious that there is a phenomenon of returning to the ancestors, and there are some incomparable talents in the family's martial arts, but they are not allowed to contact the family's martial arts. Could it be that something happened?"

"You're absolutely right, Hisan."

Ibaraki Okada nodded and continued:

"That was a tragedy that happened to the family thousands of years ago. At that time, a child in the same situation as Qingzi was born in the family, with the same atavism phenomenon and the same fighting talent, but people at that time didn't know what would happen afterwards matter."

"Ugh—so, what the hell happened? Could you just cut it off, man."

Seeing that Xi had already heard it, Ibaraki Okada smiled apologetically and said:

"Okay, to make a long story short, the child who was atavistic at that time learned all the family's martial arts in just a few years, and then there was an incident that shocked the entire Eastern Kingdom at that time. I don't know if it was because of blood. Or for some other reason, that person turned into Ibaraki one night."

"What?! Turned into Ibaraki?!"

Hearing this news, Xi even stood up slightly uneasy. After all, it was Ibaraki. The big monster of the last civilization era was reborn in this civilization era after countless years. It is too nonsense right?

"Uh, no, no, sorry, Xisan, I didn't make it clear. I mean that person seems to have gained Ibaraki's power, not the real sense of becoming Ibaraki."

"I'll go, scare me, please don't chat so briefly, buddy."

Hearing Ibaraki Okada's explanation, Xi patted his heart, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with some complaints, which made Ibaraki Okada a little embarrassed, and apologized and said:

"I'm sorry, Xisan, I won't do it next time. Then, I went on to say that after that person got the power of Ibaraki, his right hand turned into a monster-like ghost hand, and the whole person directly became a bloodthirsty hand." The monsters, clansmen, civilians, and even all living creatures became the targets he wanted to kill, and in order to stop his atrocities, the family lost nearly half of their soldiers, and almost all the high-level people in the Eastern Kingdom remembered us For this family, the ancestors recorded this matter in the family tree in order to warn us younger generations."

"That would be fun."

After listening to Ibaraki Okada's words, Xi couldn't help stroking his chin with his fingers, and analyzed:

"Ghost hand, bloodthirsty, is it something that comes with your blood?"

"Perhaps, in short, since it has already happened, and the person who has returned to the ancestors is still the granddaughter of the old man, so, no matter what, I will not let her touch any family martial arts. The old man does not want to let the previous tragedy Do it again."

"I won't interfere with your decision, but are you sure it's fair to your granddaughter?"

"Fair, huh, what about those people who were killed by that runaway clansman before? They have nothing to say about fairness. In short, I will never let Qingzi embark on the road of martial arts, even if she will hate me It's the same, this sinner, I'm sure, I'm sorry Xisan, I have something to do, so I'm sorry."

After saying these words, Ibaraki Okada walked out, Xi looked at the back of Ibaraki Okada leaving, and said:

"Is it chaos if you care about it, Ibaraki Okada, I respect you as a man, but even if you are a criminal, what about those high-level Dongguo who remember you? Will they not get news of your granddaughter? They Will you tolerate the continuation of this hidden danger that is very similar to history?"

……

Turning his gaze back to the original room, Jueying heaved a sigh of relief after seeing the instructor also walk out of the room, and turned to Ibaraki Qingzi and said excitedly:

"Wow! I didn't expect your dark horns to have such a big opening. I felt... Hey, are you okay?"

Looking at Aoko Ibaraki who had been squatting in the corner from just now, Jueying was a little worried. Although she only understood part of what she said just now, she still knew that what was said just now was not a good thing, so she walked carefully to Ibaraki Aoko. Next to Qingzi, he patted her head and asked:

"Are you okay? I'm not very good at comforting people. Maybe it's good to cry?"

"Absolute Shadow..."

Ibaraki Aoko finally spoke, but her voice was not as crisp as before, but hoarse with sobs.

"...You said, my birth was a mistake...I, without me, grandpa, wouldn't be like this..."

"What nonsense are you talking about! Believe it or not, I'll slap you?!"
