The road of the house owner of the pig in the Chanyuan

"Movement?" Naoya frowned, "What movement?"

[It’s not a big deal,] Shi’er on the other end of the phone lazily said, [They secretly put up a reward on the black market, it seems that they are recruiting capable curse masters on a large scale, but the specifics of what to do have not been explained yet, but the reward Gold is quite rich. ] Speaking of the end, there was a hint of interest in Shier's tone.

"Why did they suddenly spend so much time recruiting curse masters? Are they trying to kill someone..." Naoya murmured, tapping the thick table with his fingertips regularly, his dark brown eyes were Inadvertently glanced at the desk calendar on the wall, on which he used a black oil-based pen to record some scheduled matters, which were regarded as reminders.

Now that the desk calendar has turned to June, it is another midsummer season, and the crisp and long cicadas can be faintly heard outside the window, adding a touch of irritability to the already unbearably hot summer summer.

In June of 06...Naozai's mind flashed a few unclear thoughts, but he wanted to grasp them but finally let them pass through his fingers, leaving only a subtle touch in his heart , making him always feel that he seems to have forgotten something important.

Can't remember... Naoya pressed his head a little bored, he could only temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart, and continued, "Okay, I see, please pay attention to their actions later , It doesn’t make sense that a religious organization that didn’t make any big moves before, and almost all of them are ordinary people, suddenly wants to recruit curse master killers for no reason.”

[No problem,] Unexpectedly, Shi Er's answer should be quite straightforward, just when Naoya glanced at the phone in his hand suspiciously, wondering if this person was thinking of something else, as expected, just listened The other party continued to snort and said, [In this case, I just went out to investigate the situation in person, which is more convenient, and by the way, I can also try the newly acquired guy. ]

"What?" Naoya raised his eyebrows, and he understood the meaning of Shier's words almost instantly, and when he thought of the tone of the other party on the phone just now, he became more and more sure of his guess, and couldn't hold back for a while. The receiver rolled his eyes, and said in a bad mood, "It sounds so nice, but you're actually greedy for the huge bounty, right?"

[Tsk, how did you speak?] I only heard Shi Er let out a sneer from his nasal cavity. Although Naoya couldn't understand the other party's expression at the moment, but because he was too familiar with Shi Er, the image of Shi Er had automatically appeared in his mind. The lazy eyes and eyebrows with a bit of disdain and sarcasm, as well as the scar that rose from the corner of the mouth, [I still have to earn money to support my family, do you know how difficult it is to support a family, brat. ]

"It's as if the firm didn't pay you a salary," Naoya pouted, thinking that I don't know you yet, I have some spare money in my pocket, and I'm either going to bet on horses or pachinko, but my luck is scary, That is to say, after marrying Sister Risui, I restrained myself a lot, "Okay, just go if you want to go, and you can get some information faster if you break into the inside. After all, you just remember to be careful, oh yes, you What do you mean by 'new guy' just now?"

After a pause, Zhizai, who was a little behind-the-scenes, sensed something wrong from Shi Er's words, frowned and asked, "Also, where did you see the rewards they secretly placed on the black market?" Arrived?"

[Finally reacted? ] Shi Er let out a chuckle on the other end of the phone, and said leisurely, [I originally thought that you would have to wait until you hung up this call to get over it, but now it seems that you are not so slow. ]

For Naoya's request, no matter what it is, although Shier always refuses to forgive others, it seems that he is indifferent to Naoya's request and will only be perfunctory, but when he actually puts it into practice, he does not spare half of it. I will stay and do my best silently.

If you insist on asking the reason, apart from the brotherly feelings towards Naoya, there is also a feeling of guilt deeply buried in Shir's heart-at the beginning, it was obviously he who agreed He would take Zhiya away from the monastery, but in the end, he was the one who handed Zhiya over to the old fox of the Zhipi people, and let him return to the monastery.

This is a barb hidden deep in Shi Er's heart, which has never been spoken to outsiders.

He disdains verbal apologies, which are more useless to him than air, what's more, he also knows in his heart that since he didn't blame him at that time for Naozai's temper, even now, he won't take it This is a "trivial matter" for the other party to keep in mind.

Therefore, Shier chose to compensate in his own way.

For example, look after the office for Naoya, and those who the other party cares about, and, by the way, deal with some people who are secretly eyeing Naoya—on the black market in the past two years, the bounty for Naoya's life was once approaching. Wujo Wu.

This is not difficult to understand. Ever since Naoya became the patriarch of the Buddhist monastery, together with the Gotiao family, they used the office as a platform to cooperate with the government/government. Behind the scenes—especially the high-level people in the magic arts, I don’t know how much they hate it. Grit your teeth.

Gojo Satoru and the others couldn't control it anymore, but Naoya had just taken office as a Chanyuan master, and even the spells rarely revealed too many young patriarchs outside, and there were precedents where the spell power almost completely disappeared, so they thought It can be easily resolved.

It's also strange that Zhizai is too low-key on weekdays, and mostly focuses on internal reforms within the Zenyuan clan, which makes outsiders have a lot of misjudgments about his true strength.

Even though he knew that these guys could solve it by himself, Shi Er was still very upset. Not only did he find out those guys who accepted the bounty ignorantly, but wiped them out one by one. It was also picked out...As for how to do this, I have to thank Hiroki and his Noah's Ark.

By the way, Gojo Satoru found out about this matter later on. Since then, the two of them seemed to be at odds, and they had to compare each other to see who solved it the most. , did not tell Naoya about this matter, and together with Hiroki Mamochi, concealed this matter completely.

Since then, no one has dared to offer a reward for even a hair of Naoya in the black market, until now.

And this answer should be Zhizai. Naturally, he will not be as impatient with the Panxing Cult as it appears on the surface. Not only did he investigate the Panxing Cult inside and out carefully, but he also offered a reward to the other party. Immediately, he contacted Kong Shiyu's number, which had been stored in his phone all the time, and asked him to help him match up, and introduced himself to him calmly.

Since one wants to keep an eye on what this so-called Panxing Cult wants to do, of course one must go deep inside and become part of its plan, so as to be able to know their real plan clearly.

[As long as you have money, what kind of news can’t you buy? ] Thinking of this, Shi Er raised the corner of his mouth and said pointedly, instead of answering Naozai's question directly, he started another question, [As for the new guy... your memory is so bad that even your own Forgot everything you told Zhenwang? ]

"Ah?" Naoya was taken aback for a moment, blinked his eyes, and a few vague memories flashed through his mind. He once asked Makoto...

"You... got the Tianni Hoko?" Naoya asked uncertainly, with a hint of guilt in his tone, for nothing else, he really forgot about this thing for a long time Yes, after all, when he wanted to find Tian Ni Hoko, he also set his sights on its ability to destroy all spells. If he hadn't found the Prison Gate Border, that day Ni Hoko would be his last guarantee.

However, what he didn't expect was that the Prison Gate, which he thought would be more difficult to find, came into his hands before Tianni Hoko, and he is still hiding in the shadows, guarded by caramel milk tea and others. So much so that he was almost completely relieved, and even forgot about Tianni Hoko.

[Although the shape of this thing is a bit ugly, but it is quite handy,] Shi Er on the other end of the phone, with a rare blunt sympathy in his tone, it can be heard that he is indeed very fond of this spell, hum Laughing, [It's hard for you kid to do a good deed. ]

"...As long as you are satisfied," Naoya breathed a sigh of relief with a bit of a smile, even if you got the Tianni Hoko, after all, the good things are in the hands of your own people, and there is no harm in them, "After that, Pan Xingjiao You should pay more attention to yourself over there, remember to contact me or Zhenwang in time if there is any situation..."

As he said that, Naozai thought of another thing. Most of the reasons why he asked Shier to keep an eye on the Panxing Sect were because of Xia Youjie, but now that Xia Youjie has joined the firm, it stands to reason that he should not What kind of connection should there be with the Panxing Sect... Thinking of this, Naoya paused, and then asked, "By the way, I want to ask, how is Jie's internship at the firm? Have you worked together?"

[Tsk, so-so, barely usable,] Just mentioning Xia Youjie, Shi Er's mood seemed to be a little gloomy in an instant, and he only said a casual sentence. As a magician, I still can't get a good impression, [But he took a long vacation with Zhenwang yesterday and went back to the high school. ]

"Going back to the high school?" Naoya felt a little strange in his heart, thinking of the actions of Pan Xingjiao, he always felt that the two could be too coincidental, and continued to ask with a frown, "Is there any reason? "

[How do I know this, I am not his nanny. ] Shi Er replied impatiently, it seems that he really doesn't know the specific reason why Xia Youjie returned to the college.

"Well, then I'll ask Zhenwang later or realize it..." Naoya pursed his lips, always feeling that this matter is not as simple as it seems, and many guesses flashed in his mind for a while, but he always He felt something was wrong again, and complicated thoughts filled his mind, so he couldn't help rubbing his temples twice, trying to relieve it, and whispered slowly to the phone, "If there's nothing wrong, I'll just First......"

[...Is it Uncle...'s phone? ]

Suddenly, a vague and immature voice came from the other end of the phone, with a bit of anticipation, like the tinkling of a clear spring, gently interrupting Naoya's thoughts at the moment.

[Tsk, aren't you taking a nap? ] Shi Er's voice was a little farther away, probably because he turned his head sideways and was talking to someone.

[Tell me, is it my uncle? ] On the contrary, the immature voice was closer and clearer, and it also had a hint of impatience, as it kept asking Shier.

[Yes, it's your uncle, do you want to answer the phone? ] I could vaguely hear a somewhat mocking smile in Shier's words, but it was softer, as if he was teasing and amusing. Sound, as if doing something.

[…Yes, give it to me! ] Xiaohui's voice is closer than before, almost as loud as Shier's voice in the receiver, and the anxiety in her tone is also a little bit more.

Then there was a faint sneer from Shire, and the ringing of the phone handover.

[Hello? ] Xiaohui's soft voice transmitted through the electronic sound of the earpiece, which vaguely brought a sense of distortion, but I could still hear the nervousness hidden in his tone, [Is it uncle? ]

"Xiao Hui, how are you doing recently?" Naoya frowned and smiled softly, "Have you been obedient and eating well?"

[Yes,] Knowing that Naoya couldn't be seen on the phone, Xiaohui nodded seriously, and added, [Uncle, I, I have been able to summon the jade dog outside... Well, it's been an hour. ]

"Really, Xiaohui is amazing! Sure enough, Xiaohui is the best," Naoya exclaimed, not stingy with his praise, and smiled warmly, "How does Xiaohui know the time?"

[It was Aunt Zhenwang who told me. ] Xiaohui responded obediently.

"In this way, when Xiaohui summons the jade dog, she should also pay attention to her body, don't make herself too tired, you know?"

[Well, I see. ] Xiaohui promised word by word, and then paused, as if a little shy, and said softly and intimately, [Uncle, when can you come to Tokyo to see me? ]

"Soon," Naoya's eyes became more gentle, and he assured Xiaohui, "No more than a week at most, my uncle will definitely go to Tokyo to see you."

[Um! ] Xiaohui's eyes lit up immediately, but her mouth was still tightly pursed, maintaining her composure, and said solemnly, [I remember! ]

...you know the brat who acts like a spoiled child.

Shi Er on the side rolled his eyes, although he knew that his son liked Naoya, but when he saw the child holding a mobile phone with a happy expression on his face, he still couldn't help muttering something secretly in his heart.

It's just that the corner of his mouth with the scar was pulled up, but it was dyed with a soft smile.
