Sword Raiders II

It happened suddenly in the middle of the night, and no one could fall asleep peacefully without thinking too much.

Of course, Yu Li also thought about the secret of Suifeng's worry, and even thought about it more.

Especially in the world of corpses and souls... No, it's the family's affair on the side of the relatives, just knowing her existence and feeling that she was a threat, and secretly doing something, Yu Li really couldn't help but think about it.

Just like what Broken Bee said, now she also holds the huge resources and industries of Star Palace in her hands. Many big and small families and employees involved in the food industry are dependent on her to survive. Have experienced it several times.

It seems that not only is she busy with the Star Palace Pavilion in this world, but she also has to make plans for the power layout in the other world, otherwise she doesn't know what she will face in 80 years.

Judging from what happened this night alone, she really can't guarantee that she will have a stable identity and abode in the other world in the future.The corpse soul world must be going there, and she can't never go back to Sifengyuan's house just for her father. The key is what will happen after she goes, how much connection will she have with this family, if she is not like her father How much right to speak and freedom can she gain from being outside the clan as she thought?

Although it is clear that her father and aunt will do their best to pave the way for her, Yu Li doesn't want to put all the work on them.Even if her father and aunt never told her clearly, knowing that they all had a history of betraying the family, even if they were re-accepted by the Sifeng family, it would be impossible for them to gain the same power and status as before. There will be opponents attacking them with this point, she can't let them bother about her so much.

Instead of letting the elders bother and want to achieve the goal, of course she has to work harder.

"So tired!" Yu Li slumped his shoulders weakly, feeling physically and mentally exhausted, and when he returned to the bedroom, he lay straight on the bed, "Really, why do I have to live so tired——!"

Stretching out her hand and beating the pillow vigorously, she vented loudly as if she was complaining. The piles of piles were stacked together and she was almost out of breath.

"...No, no, calm down! Things are not that bad. There are still 80 years of buffer time, such a long time is enough..." After pounding the pillow for a while, she forced herself to calm down again, and said to herself as if comforting, " The Star Palace Pavilion is already on the right track. When the castle is completed, it won’t be as troublesome as it is now. There is also the restaurant on the other side, it’s a big deal to spend a little more time, and then expand the scale when you have time to attract more diners from the other side , build a good relationship with them..."

With a little tidying up and ordering, Yu Li also slowly relaxed. If these are divided as a tough battle, the battlefield can obviously be divided into several areas and several time periods, although some will overlap and require multiple parallel lines. But it's not impossible.

"I can do it!" Thinking so, she said to herself to cheer herself up, even if it was for her knife, she would persevere to the end, "I have to work hard tomorrow!"

But as soon as the keyword of work was mentioned, Yu Li immediately thought of those cooking apprentices who wanted to be apprenticed to the school for a few days before the day after tomorrow at the latest, to see if they were qualified to be her registered disciples.

These people are all juniors sent by her bosses or high-level executives in person. It is more like a disguised wooing to strengthen ties than to seek skills from teachers.After all, once she accepts her as a named disciple, even if it is only a named one, it is tantamount to having a deeper connection with the Star Palace Pavilion. Having this relationship will naturally make the Star Palace Pavilion's resources more or less skewed to varying degrees.

If Yu Li is an irresponsible teacher, he will accept it if he accepts it. This kind of master-student relationship, which is slightly stronger than that of ordinary school teachers and students, is already a common practice for every cooking master. The quality of these named disciples is good. Being bad will not affect the master's own reputation and status at all, it is a relationship of resource binding and benefit exchange recognized by everyone in the circle.

But just look at Ai Fujita, who is about to dominate the Yuanchu middle school, and you will know that she can't accept someone and just leave her alone, at least Yu Li, who has only been a chef for a few years, can't do such old fritters.Naturally, it will be carefully investigated, at least those related households who simply want to wear the skin of a kitchen god disciple to earn money but have no real skills are impossible to let in.

In this way, things will naturally become more.

"Ah, I'm really tired!"

In the end, Yu Li still couldn't persevere, or just insisted on picking a group of good young people to be registered disciples. On the seventh day, when he was invited by the old patriarch Maeda to meet and want to be her disciples, Yu Li failed. Overwhelmed by the continuous entertainment and language hints of various benefit exchanges, I ran back to Honmaru to hide for a few days to catch my breath.

Let her go to the battlefield with the troops first to calm down.

"Huh? Master, you came back early?" The swords who happened to be near the gate of Honmaru were surprised at first when they saw her appearance, and then quickly showed joyful expressions. They shouted loudly without thinking, "Everyone, the master is back—" —!”

With this call, a group of temporary welcoming teams were quickly assembled, and there was no doubt that the extremely short legion was the first to bear the brunt.

"My lord—!" With a joyful face, Jin Jian waited for the sword, relying on his childish appearance, opened his arms without restraint, and was about to fly towards Yu Li, begging for a hug.

But when they saw clearly the weak smiles of the people who came back, they all consciously braked in unison: "You, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired mentally." Having dealt with too many presidents and bosses wearing masked smiles in the present world, Yu Li found that he didn't have the strength to set up the Lord's character, "I want to rest first, if there is nothing important , Today, the general work of Honmaru is still entrusted to the valet on rotation."

She bluntly stated that she was extremely tired, which made many Dao who flocked to talk to her afraid to talk to her.

"Then, then you have a good rest. How about some fruit juice and snacks from the kitchen?" Finally, it was Xiaodou Changguang who said this.

What responded was the owner's weak back and a feeble thank you.

It wasn't until Yu Li's figure disappeared in front of his eyes that the unconsciously quiet scene finally had a voice again.

"It's too much! To make Gouxiu Jinsama so exhausted, can those servants in this world still do it!" Guijia Zhenzong burst into tears, "I'm so tired that I don't even have sharp and cold eyes. Heavy work!"

Many Blades: "..." Although some of the descriptions in it are not quite right, it is generally their inner voice.

"Indeed, no matter what the reason is, to make the lord exhausted like this in itself means a serious dereliction of duty by the subordinates." Kaki Hasebe also had a gloomy face, "If it weren't for Honmaru here, those useless retainers in this world would not must……!"

"Stop Hasebe-kun quickly, the lord is not a lord who would cut his retainers at will like Lord Nobunaga, please change your style a little bit." Quickly interrupted Hasebe's brutal speech, not wanting these master swordsmen to perform online Candlestick, who was out of control, rubbed the center of his brows with a headache, "Since the lord is so tired, please try not to disturb her if you have any work today, how about letting her have a good rest?"

He had a premonition that her sudden return this time was not so much a rest as a refuge, and he didn't know what happened in this world that put her under such a heavy pressure that she was almost overwhelmed.

As the knife with the best edge in Honmaru, the proposal of Candlestick Knife has not received any objection, and there are many voices.

But after answering, some blades still couldn't help but mutter unwillingly.

"If only we could go to this world too."

This is not the first time a knife has said this, and it will not be the last time.

Kagemaru, who was also among them, couldn't help but clenched his fists, and lowered his head to hide his lost expression.

Candlestick Qie's guess is correct, Yu Li is indeed here to take refuge, several days of entertainment at Vanity Fair and trying her best not to lose the balance of professional ethics because of the exchange of benefits, so this batch of registered disciples took her a lot of money. less mind.Later, there will be a more cautious examination of the apprentices who enter the house. He is still the son of the Maeda family. If he does not meet her expectations and refuses to accept him, how can he refuse decently? If he can't create a second Kyogoku family for her, he must deal with it carefully. , so she really needs a place to relax.

If it’s just these things, it’s not unbearable, but the arrival of Broken Bee and the news she provided still put a lot of pressure on her. Putting the two together, even if Yu Li does psychological training for herself every day, it’s inevitable that she will overthink and accelerate mental exhaustion.

#Feels like this will be hollowed out sooner or later#

When he returned to his living room on the second floor, Yu Li sat in the room looking at the early spring courtyard outside the door, and unconsciously touched the top of his hair.

I don't know if she will be bald when she is middle-aged and old. Mr. Maeda seems to have a circle of gray hair in the Mediterranean, and the old men of the Mori family and the Shimadzu family also have quite thick hair...

"No, no, Mediterranean refused!" Yu Li couldn't help covering his head with his hands after thinking about it for a while, and shook his head in horror, "I want to be beautiful until I die of old age!"

"Huh? What is so beautiful that I am so old?" A soft male voice came from outside the door. When Yu Lixun looked around, it was Fu Sangshen in white with a coat on his shoulders walking in with a tray.

"Muqie?" She couldn't help but uttered a voice in surprise, staring at his unexpected movement of carrying the tray, she didn't say anything but her expression said it all.

"Is it so strange?" The light-blond Taidao understood what she meant, but still kept an innocent smile and put the things on the table, "I am your servant today, serving tea and water for the master is also my job one of the jobs?"

"Thank you so much." Yu Li also saw the sweet soup and snacks on the tray, which were the ones that Xiaodou Changguang said to give her before, but subconsciously complained, "After all, you used to be my servant , These chores are also done by other people, especially the knee pill."

The so-called brother repays the debt, if the brother is there, the brother will make up for the things that the brother refuses to do.

The boss of the Yuan family is so capricious.

Naturally, Mustache didn't answer this question, but just put the tray towards her and said, "Try it, it's specially prepared for you in the kitchen."

All the delicious food was delivered to him, and Yu Li was of course not pretentious. He thanked him and picked up the spoon to eat.

The warm sweet soup and the milk-flavored snacks really pleased Yuli's stomach, and also relieved her emotions. Yuli could taste from it that the creator wanted to comfort her because of her worries. That kind of heart, so I am more and more satisfied.

"I always feel like you have figured out all my eating preferences." When she put down the spoon, she was in such a good mood that she couldn't help laughing.

"At any rate, we've been together for so long, so it's not surprising to know." Higiri answered, his golden pupils looked over with a slight smile, like a chattering tone, "It's rare to see your tiredness that you don't even want to hide." What about the state, what happened over there in this world?"

One sentence directly froze Yu Li, brother, have you ever spoken so straight before?

When he spoke, his eyes were fixed on her eyes, not too oppressively looking for his eyes, but he was also clearly telling "I can tell if I'm lying", so that Yu Li said, "It's nothing but busy with work." A little bit" but couldn't say it all at once.

So she unconsciously shifted her gaze to the side, refusing to meet his gaze.

The person opposite laughed: "You don't need to speak carefully, just take it as I'm curious and want to get a general idea. Maybe I can say a few words to help?"

This is a very clear expression of "wanting to share worries".

Yu Li knew that it was her appearance when she first came back that caused her worries, and even these veteran knives who were usually able to sit still couldn't sit still. I believe that if it wasn't for the fact that today's valet happened to be mustache, other knives would find opportunities to come and ask ask.

"I know, let me tell you a little bit." Yu Li also compromised a little bit, anyway, they will know when they all recover their memories, "It's like... I have encountered family conflicts, and I didn't say anything about the horoscope. The position of the next Patriarch or something."

When she lowered her head and sighed, she didn't notice that the pupils of the smiling valet shrank suddenly.

When I was working alone to create a huge family business and continue to expand my ambitions, I was suddenly told that I would also be eligible to inherit another ancient family after my death. This kind of thing is really not encountered by ordinary people, maybe Yu Li is the first one.

And she, who has always had a very simple family and a very harmonious relationship, also experienced the same family infighting, the danger of someone wanting her life before the relatives met.

"Actually, fighting or something, to be honest, I'm used to it." Putting her hands on her knees, Yuli looked up at the palace lantern above her head. To be precise, she has been involved in the death game of SAO since she was 17 years old. Started a struggle to survive for self-preservation, and then after becoming a culinary master and re-entering the culinary world, various conflicts have never stopped, "But, that is an enemy who is related by blood... I always feel that it is very wrong taste."

As long as she can remember, she has only her parents around her.My father was an orphan, and my mother severed ties with the family in order to get married. She only had contact with her cousins ​​of the same generation at the grandparents' house for a few years, but they separated again after the accident with her father, so what kind of relatives? It is really a rare and precious existence.

It was not easy for my father to come back from the dead and become the direct son of a big family in the other world. The father's family is no longer alone, but he has become an enemy worse than a stranger without even seeing him.

"Really..." Higakiri also sighed softly, "It's not so much that you are troubled by internal strife, it is better to say that you are sad by blood relatives..."

"Maybe I have both." Yu Li rubbed his forehead, "In fact, I never thought of inheriting that family, but I can't guarantee that such troubles will not happen to me in the future. Both my father and my aunt are there, and I can't let them go. The best situation now is that before I return to that family, they will determine the next heir, so I don't need to get involved in it... Uh!"

Yuli suddenly got stuck when she was talking about this, and she suddenly remembered that Genji, where Higakiri belonged to, was a big family with serious internal strife. From time to time, he and Kemaru had heard that it was sad that brothers in the clan would fight each other.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you these things." Yu Li apologized regretfully by beating his forehead, didn't this make him feel hurt.

"You don't need to apologize, I asked you to tell me." Mustache smiled, and he sat on the soft cushion in the direction of the door. At this time, he turned his body halfway and cast his eyes on the distant view outside the door, as if nostalgic It also seems to be emotional, "However, internal fighting... Although it is not good to say this, Genji is indeed experienced, and I have witnessed it from generation to generation. Now I am your knife, so if you need it, I I can also chat with you in detail, if you can learn from it and avoid some dangers, these experiences are not just painful memories."

"How is this possible!" Yuli refused subconsciously, frowning and said directly, "These memories will only make you sad, whether it's you or Kagemaru, the one you are most proud of is Genji, even if they are now only Existing in history is still the most precious thing in your hearts. I don’t need to rely on my subordinates to uncover his pride and show the embarrassment inside to help me tide over the difficulties!”

The thing I love the most and the proudest is destroyed, even if I know in my heart that it is force majeure and helpless, but the pain and regret will not be less, every time I think of it, it will hurt again.

Yuli understands that feeling, so he doesn't want to be sad again and again.Even if this Zhendao usually behaves like he doesn't care about anything, he doesn't even care about names and anecdotes, and he can't even remember the name of Keimaru, but Genji is definitely not among them.

"It is enough for you to have this kind of heart, and I will handle the rest by myself." Regardless of his completely stunned expression, Yu Li just seriously stated, "I can do all these things by myself, and I can also handle them well alone. , you just do your best to bully the knee balls at ordinary times."

Hearing the last sentence, Mustache Cut, who had been stunned, suddenly laughed: "Confused Cut? Is this a new name for me? Well, it sounds much better than Weed Cut and Horse Feed Cut."

"Shut up." Originally, Yu Li was still blushing uncomfortably because he quickly called out the nickname that he blurted out when he was angry before, but when he heard the two names he named himself, he directly showed indescribable color, Genji Chongbao's idol burden This knife is really nothing at all, just learn a little bit from Kagemaru.

Dazed didn't take it seriously, and even commented like this: "However, it's surprisingly kind."

Yu Li couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words, the Taidao on the opposite side suddenly raised his arms and propped the palms that were originally on his knees on the low table. The vision at the door, the shadow created also suddenly shrouded Yu Li's body.

At first, Yu Li thought he was going to get up, but it was not until Tai Dao leaned forward with his shoulders and gradually leaned towards her that he realized something was wrong.

The oppressive feeling of deja vu made her instantly alarmed, and she instinctively tilted her head back while getting up and avoiding it, but the other party reached out and grabbed her shoulder as if she had expected it, and directly pressed Yu Li's posture of getting up. She turned back, and the face kept approaching her.

This familiar domineering formula made Yu Li's scalp explode, and an extremely bad premonition rose from the bottom of his heart: "Hikiri, you...!"

"Brother, you can't be so rude to the Patriarch."

At this moment, a serious dissuading voice came from the direction of the door.

Mustakiri's close face stopped at a distance of a fist, Yuli couldn't help but look up, and saw Kemimaru's hand clasped on his brother's shoulder, with a serious expression and unrelenting pressure on Yuli's shoulder The hand was raised and retracted.

The author has something to say:

Yu Li: It seems that it doesn't matter even if the pink gemstones of the mustache cut shine.
