May you be happy and prosperous

Lu Twelve felt that this was probably the best New Year's Eve he ever had - he graduated from university and started his own business at home. Every New Year's Day is the busiest time for the pet store because of the holiday, even though his family is in G City , but he can't go home either. When people sit down to eat and wait for the New Year's Eve, he is busy amidst all kinds of "woof woof" and "meow meow". Come and be the masters of beauty.

But this year is very different. Lu Twelve has friends, food, and pets by his side (.), and he doesn't have to rack his brains trying to persuade a certain furry creature to cooperate. Killing a pig... He just watched a firework that was probably the most gorgeous and high-level firework in the entire Middle Ancient Continent warmly in the arms of his "pet" like a normal person, and then the two of them returned to the brightly lit and possessed center. Air-conditioned banquet hall.

As a result, as soon as the two of them appeared, a person who was probably a colonel came up and stopped Sha Gaya: "Your Excellency Griffin, Marshal Oss is looking for you everywhere, and he wants to talk to you about the The matter of the invitation letter issued by the Ministry of the Army of the Eastern European Continent..."

When the guy with the rank of colonel was speaking, Shakya was lazily putting his hands on the waist of the black-haired young man beside him——in such a big winter, his shirt sleeves were raised high to the elbows ——He was probably the only person in the whole party who could be called "disheveled". However, it is obvious that this move that anyone could be kicked out of the house, but no one caught up with him It's wrong to accuse him, and in fact, even with this outfit, the man still looks elegant and domineering, and he doesn't even look rude.

The man lowered his eyes expressionlessly, and after the colonel finished speaking, under the cover of the long and thick eyelashes, Lu Twelve could see that there seemed to be an extremely impatient emotion in those golden pupils ——And obviously his silent appearance also made the person who came to look for him feel that something was wrong. Just when the other person seemed to be at a loss, suddenly, the black-haired young man who was half embraced by the man lifted him up. He raised his hand, patted the hand on his waist, and said lightly: "If you need anything, just go and have a look. Why are you getting angry?"

He actually said it like this...

The colonel raised his head and looked at the black-haired young man in front of him in surprise—although everyone knew that this was Sha Gaya's staff, but in fact, because Sha Gaya had such another identity, people almost It's because he subconsciously felt that... the person in front of him was just an empty air with a reputation there.

After all, according to common sense, it is impossible for anyone to control a "phantom beast" like Sha Gaya.

However, what is unexpected is that after the black-haired young man finished speaking, the blond man in front of him not only did not show offended appearance, but swept away the impatient expression on his face before, turned helpless, and lowered his voice at the former's He said in his ear: "Then you wait for me to play over there? Don't run around—"

Lu Twelve raised his eyebrows: "Okay, I know, how old do you think I am, and I can still get lost."

The colonel gasped in his heart, and almost couldn't help but remind the black-haired young man in front of him that he should pay attention to the way he speaks, but he didn't expect the blond-haired man to just smile lightly: "I'm afraid you will run away and be thrown into someone else's bed—— "

"Shut up."

Lu Twelve ruthlessly interrupted the yellow accent that the man was about to start. He frowned slightly, took off the heavy dark blue military uniform that was draped over his shoulders, and handed it to Shakya again to tell him to put it on—the man He obediently put on his coat almost step by step according to what he said, and naturally bent down to let the black-haired young man tidy up the collar and tie that had been messed up by him before. In the middle, he turned his head, put on a tone with a decent attitude, smiled and said to the colonel in front of him, "Please show me the way."

"...Oh, oh, okay." The colonel nodded blankly.

——Actually, he was not the only one who was blinded by DOGEYES.

Many people had already been eyeing Lu Twelve and Sha Gaya when they reappeared in the banquet hall. Whether they were looking at the black-haired young man or the king who had awakened the phantom beast, every time Everyone is on the verge of moving. Although they are still doing their own things, many people have put down the wine they are tasting, and are racking their brains to think of a suitable topic to strike up a conversation with...

It's just that when they saw the man's hand on the waist of the black-haired young man, they were slightly taken aback... It's not that this is impossible, it's just that their social circles are big or small, and new things may happen at any time. Therefore, if it is not a confirmed marriage partner, they are usually not used to making intimate actions that can confirm their relationship.

But this is nothing to be surprised about, maybe the aliens don't think so much... They just need to wait patiently until they separate——

Just when everyone was comforting themselves in this way, a scene that everyone did not expect happened again - the great awakened Phantom Beast King was indeed separated from his staff in everyone's expectation, but the relationship between the two was natural. The "old couple" interaction mode that was turned on made some people stare straight away—especially when they saw the black-haired young man helplessly adjusting the tie and shirt collar of the blonde man, and the orange banquet hall light shone on his eyes. On his body, the beige formal suit set off his slender figure just right everywhere, and even the end of the short black hair that had just been swept over the back collar became very cute. Surprising face.

But it was unexpectedly itchy.

"—Your Excellency Griffin really has the foresight to see his staff very closely."

"—oh hehe, that's not right. If I hadn't watched closely, I'm afraid someone would already be on my bed right now."

"—really nasty."

"--Ha ha."

……

Although people were saying such things, when Sharjaye walked towards Marshal Oss under the leadership of the colonel, and only the black-haired young man was left on the scene, those people who were eager to strike up a conversation had already picked up Putting down their glasses of wine and getting into a new conversation—although they love to play, they still know the seriousness of the matter. If they maintain a wait-and-see attitude towards their relationship, then at the moment, they are almost sure that the black-haired young man not far away cannot be included in the scope of prey.

Although the series of actions of Shakya seemed to happen naturally, anyone with a bit of a brain can understand why he did it - those who went to the balcony to strike up a conversation with the black-haired young man tonight have already begun to worry , I might be assassinated tonight...

After Sharjay left, Lu Twelfth looked around, and then found an empty seat to sit down. As soon as he sat down, he received a text message from Jay's communicator, asking where he could find him. Lu Twelve looked at the table number of the table he was at and told JAY, and then he went into a daze on his own, but after a while, he saw Sha Gaya walking towards him with a hand in his hand. with a plate of food.

Lu Twelve was stunned. When the man came to him and put down the plate, and ordered him to eat calmly, he blinked: "Why did you come back? Are you done talking?"

"Not yet," Shakya said in a relaxed tone, "I suddenly remembered that my staff didn't eat anything and drank a lot of water tonight. Thinking about it, I lost the mood to talk about it."

Lu Twelve: "..."

Sharjaya: "So I asked Marshal Oss to wait for me for 10 minutes-what's wrong with that, anyway, he had been waiting for a long time before."

"It's quite impossible." Lu Twelve said expressionlessly, "You will only make people have the urge to call me 'bitch is hypocritical'."

"You are really hypocritical." Sharjah Ye smiled, paused and then teased, "I just left for a while without being by your side, casually said a few words to other young females, you want to Isn't it hypocritical to make a fuss about not eating?"

Sharjah's voice was neither high nor low, but besides Lu Twelve, there were several other young people who were talking at the table at this moment—they were chatting absent-mindedly and eavesdropping on Sharjah. Yeah, their conversation, hearing this now, someone finally couldn't help but chuckle directly, and then in Lu Twelve's embarrassment, a young girl even turned her head and said generously : "Your Excellency Griffin is really a considerate and good man."

Shakya turned his head and thanked the girl for her support with a smile that captivated everyone.

If Shajiaye was a peacock, then Lu Twelve was sure that he had completely opened his screen tonight—and not only his tail was raised, but even the fluff on his body was blown off.

After Sha Gaya left, Lu Twelve had no idea how he swallowed that plate of food, but when he realized it, he realized that he had swallowed that plate of food according to Sha Gaya's words. It was cleaned up—he didn't remember what he ate at all, but when he recalled it, he could barely remember that the food on the plate was all the flavors he liked.

【Your Excellency Griffin is really a considerate and considerate man. 】

...Ugh, shit.

Lu Twelve pursed his lips, ate and drank water, only then did he realize that JAY, who said he was coming to see him, hadn't come yet—I don't know if he was being entangled by his beautiful mother, but at this time it was already Near 01:30 in the morning, Lu Twelve felt a little sleepy, so he greeted Sha Gaya who was talking with someone not far away, and signaled him to go back to rest first. After the man nodded to show that he knew, he lowered his head, I sent a text message to JAY, "Master, I'll wait for you on the bed", and then followed the crowd of guests leaving one after another, and walked towards the exit.

Because everyone's invitation letters have different colors, and the rest areas they are in are naturally different, Lu Twelve was a little lost when he left the gate of the banquet hall, so he had to rely on his own memory to go back——

Then he walked, and when he found himself alone in the entire corridor, he had to admit that he was really lost.

"It doesn't matter, getting lost is one of the important ways to start a new storyline."

Lu Twelve said to himself sarcastically, and continued to walk forward trying to find someone who could ask the way, but just after taking two steps, he realized that he had come to a corridor leading to a small garden, and at this moment At this moment, the voice of someone talking came from the small garden - Lu Twelve didn't pay attention to the speaker at first, until he walked two steps forward, and then saw in the garden...

It turned out to be a student and her current incumbent.

The two seem to be arguing—well, to be precise, it should be that the student's staff is unilaterally yelling at his Eudemons, while the student is sitting very calmly on a snow-covered plane. On the swing, with his head down, he didn't know what he was thinking, but through the thick glass window, Lu Twelve could hear the student's staff talking loudly angrily——

"You swore allegiance to my family, now that your former master is back, can't you wait to wag your tail at him?!"

Lu Twelve: "..."

It seems to have heard something extraordinary.

Thinking of the so-called self-mockery of "getting lost and starting a new plot" before, Lu Twelve felt that his crow's mouth had really reached the terrifying point of possessing the effect of "speaking spirit".

The student's attitude towards Sakya has always been a mystery. If you say she is completely rebellious, but this girl is simply a female version of Uncle Shabak. When she sees Sakya, even if she is far away, she will honestly salute. The eyes are also well-behaved and harmless, but if you want to say that she has surrendered to Shakya, after many awakened phantom beasts have announced their positions one after another, she is in addition to the mysterious "Yu". , the only awakened Eudemons that has not made a statement.

Lu Twelve always thought it was his disciples who were conflicting whether to be loyal to Sharjah or Byron—now it seems that this is not a matter of disciples at all, it seems that for some reason, his staff is unwilling to let She approaches Shakya and declares her allegiance to him.

...Thinking about it, in the past, whether it was because of Uncle Shabak's emotion or other reasons, Lu Twelve has never had a good impression of the family of his disciples - he is not very clear about this How do the people in the family think about the awakened Eudemons, but in most cases, they always give people a feeling of using her as a tool, constantly letting this Eudemons, who may not be so gregarious and lively, attend various events. In public places, receiving all kinds of commercial endorsement advertisements...

For example, Lu Twelve just came to the earth 500 years later, the first time he knew about the existence of "Phantom Beasts", it was because he saw the big advertisement of Phantom Beast Fighting Club advertised by his disciples.

She is really famous.

Uncle Shabak said that this is definitely not something that former students would do.

After several indirect contacts, Lu Twelve felt that Uncle Shabak's statement was very reasonable.

So he always felt that the staff family, who was a student, for some reason, seemed to be impatient to squeeze every bit of benefit from her - and at least in Lu Twelve's view, this kind of relationship between the staff and the phantom beast Relationships are utterly deformed.

Facts have proved that Lu Twelve's guess should be right, because at this moment, the disciple stood up from the swing, lowered his eyes and patted the falling snowflakes on his body, and her lips moved after being covered by the light gauze. I don't know what I said - but it should be something unacceptable, because under Lu Twelve's gaze, her staff's face instantly became ugly... It was even a little embarrassing, he froze for a moment After that, he still roared in that exasperated voice——

"What's the use of telling me this now? Why should I care whether an awakened phantom beast that has nothing to do with me is dead or alive? I only care about how my family will be affected by it—"

Um?Lu Twelve raised his eyebrows, a little annoyed that he didn't hear what the disciple said... He was very sure that the "awakened phantom beast that had nothing to do with me" mentioned by the disciple's staff was Shakya, but, although the disciple's affiliation It can almost be regarded as a pivotal factor that can affect the situation, but——if she followed Byron, Shakya shouldn't be at the point of dying, right?

Just when Lu Twelve was wondering, he heard the middle-aged man continue——

"I'm afraid even the ashes of my great-grandfather have weathered away, and you just forgot the oath you made to him-because your master is back, haha, I knew it was like this, as the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to live in." , but you'd better think about your disciples, I will never allow our family to become a second Wu family because of you."

As the middle-aged man spoke, his face was almost contorted with anger.

He stretched out his hand to pull off the veil on the disciple's face, but the disciple reached out to block it almost reflexively - of course she easily blocked her staff's hand, but when the expression on the other's face changed again and again , and told her to "let go" in a low voice, she was stunned for a moment, and there seemed to be a struggling look in those green pupils, but she quickly regained her composure, and she let go of her The hand of the staff, the other party pulled off the veil on her face.

Lu Twelve, who was squatting in a corner not far away, widened his eyes slightly - because he saw that under the veil, it was not a perfect face - the disciple's facial features are of course beautiful, but under her right eye At the corner of the lip, there is a long scar left by something unknown, and the scar is particularly obvious under the moonlight and the reflection of the snow.

It even looks like it has been around for some years.

Lu Twelve moved closer to the glass door and put his ear on it. At this time, he could hear their conversation without the people inside shouting——

I only heard the student's staff say viciously: "Don't forget how the scars on your face came from - I know that you Eudemons have self-healing functions. If you have forgotten your great-grandfather, then don't pretend to let it stay. in your face."

A moment of silence.

Just when Lu Twelve really began to pay attention to the term "great-grandfather" that appeared for the second time in the conversation, at this moment, he heard the disciple say in a cool and calm voice: "You don't need to emphasize, I will never forget him , This is also the reason why I am standing here, if it is not that he happens to be a human being, the human race is just one of the various intelligent organisms I have seen to me."

While the disciple was talking, she stretched out her hand to take her veil back from her staff—when the latter was completely stunned by her words, she just lowered her eyes, put the veil back on, and then turned her head, Looking at the pair of human eyes that seem to have fear, surprise and other emotions in them, she seemed to see nothing, but she just lowered her voice and said indifferently——

"Go back, it's cold in the winter night, catch a cold carefully, master."
