The autumn wind is rustling, the moonlight is flowing, and the thin bamboo bushes are stirred by the wind, making a rustling sound.Other than that, the corridor was unusually quiet.

"Your Excellency Phase One?"

Lu Qiaoqiao fell into Fu Sangshen's arms, and said softly, "Is that you, Your Excellency?"

The arms around her suddenly tightened.

"Ah."

A voice responded to her gently.The young man clasped his arms tightly, and his breath fell on the girl's hair, as calmly as ever: "I finally see you again, Ji Jun."

However, at such a close distance, Lu Qiaoqiao could hear his heartbeat in his chest, one beating faster than the other, unusually intense.

"You have also come to this world, Your Excellency the first phase."

"Ah."

Fu Sangshen responded to her gently: "I'm sorry... I really couldn't control my desire to see you, and came to this world without your permission."

Lu Qiaoqiao felt sore in her heart, she clenched her hands and said softly, "I'm sorry."

"Ji Jun?"

"It's my fault."

Lu Qiaoqiao sincerely apologized: "I made you worry."

A moment of silence.

After not getting a response for a while, Lu Qiaoqiao raised her head a little uneasy, but bumped into a pair of eyes.

Yoshimitsu stared at her quietly, with the only Taisao made, and the shock of the world. There seemed to be a layer of mist in his eyes, covering all his emotions.

He watched so intently that Lu Qiaoqiao was a little uneasy.

"Your Excellency Phase One?"

A finger was pressed to her lips.

In the faint moonlight, Lu Qiaoqiao suddenly discovered that Yiqi Yizhen seemed to have changed into a new pair of gloves - usually white, but now, it turned out to be slightly dark gray.

No, it's not just gloves.

Looking carefully, Yiqi Yizheng's whole person... seems to be covered with a faint layer of black air.

"Shh..."

The young man stared at her with such gentle eyes that it seemed to melt her in his eyes.He said softly, "Don't apologize, Ji Jun."

He moved his palm down and stroked Lu Qiaoqiao's cheek, a faint worry appeared between his brows and eyes: "Obviously it's all our fault."

"Every time, every time... when danger comes, they can't protect you."

The light in his eyes flickered: "If..."

—Words that can hide and protect you.

"No, it's not like that."

Fu Sangshen's voice stopped suddenly.

Lu Qiaoqiao straightened up, she held down Fu Sangshen's hand, removed his finger from his lips, and held it back.

"Why do you say that, Your Excellency the first phase?"

The girl's eyes were as clear as flowing springs, and she looked at him puzzled: "You obviously saved me many times."

"Have you forgotten, not long ago, I returned to the present world with the help of the divine way you built," the girl said softly, "Otherwise, mine is probably still in the cracks of time."

"..."

There was silence for the first time.

Lu Qiaoqiao stared at him and suddenly had an epiphany.

"Your Excellency Phase One," she wrapped her arm around the young man in surprise and anxiety, "A-are you sad?"

Fu Sangshen's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't make a sound. He just raised the corners of his mouth with difficulty, revealing a sad smile in Lu Qiaoqiao's view.

"No, why do you think so," he comforted in a gentle voice, "you're just arguing for your own incompetence..."

His words were not finished.

"will not."

The girl interrupted him, her voice was soft but firm: "You are very powerful."

"You have power beyond my reach."

Then she relaxed her brows and eyes: "Sorry, this time I... seem to be self-righteous and trying to be brave."

There was a gleam of light in Fu Sangshen's eyes.

"But as much as you worry about me... I don't want to put you, or anyone else, in danger."

She chuckled: "From this point of view, we are actually in the same mood, we are both worried about each other."

"Your Excellency the first phase," the girl raised her head and begged, "I have realized my mistake...can you forgive me?"

no respond.

Lu Qiaoqiao suddenly became nervous, her lips parted slightly, and she was about to say something, when her eyes darkened.

Yiqi bowed down, and Fu Sangshen put his hands on her shoulders, his expression seemed to be in great pain.

Lu Qiaoqiao was taken aback.

"Your Excellency the first phase?" She stretched out her hand, trying to touch Fu Sangshen's cheek, but the young man let go, and knelt down slowly in front of her.

Not kneeling on one knee, but silently, placing both knees on the ground.

All this time, Fu Sangshen's waist, which had stopped in front of Lu Qiaoqiao, collapsed.He hung his head, his hands on his knees, tightly clenched into fists.

"why……"

From Yiqi Yizheng's mouth, an almost trembling voice came out: "Do you want...to keep me?"

Lu Qiaoqiao was frightened, she stood there in a daze, listening to Fu Sangshen's intermittent words.

"A sword that cannot protect its master has no value."

"As Yoshimitsu's only sword, my...but it has dishonored the glory of the sword."

"When I heard that you were in distress, I couldn't calm down. I tried to go to this world to find you... but I couldn't even determine your direction."

"Once again...you are suffering where I can't see it, and there's nothing I can do about it."

He raised his head and smiled bitterly: "I am so incompetent, even if I am in danger, what can I do if I stand by your side?"

Lu Qiaoqiao was shocked.

The spiritual path was reopened, and the sword Fusangshen came to her one by one, but avoided her everywhere.She always thought that because she unconsciously blocked the spiritual path and lost contact for dozens of days, her contracted swords were angry...

However, from Yizheng's words, she gradually realized that maybe the hearts of the Sword Fusangshen were entwined with more complicated emotions.

"cough."

A light cough came from the darkness.

Lu Qiaoqiao was startled, she looked up, and in the hazy moonlight, Akashi Guoxing slowly walked out.

After the first episode, Akashi National Bank unexpectedly appeared from the darkness.

The Taidao youth had a strange expression on his face. He turned his head, trying to avoid looking at Yiqi Yizhen who was kneeling in front of the girl, and said unnaturally, "Yo... Master."

His voice made his body vibrate slightly, Fu Sangshen's originally painful expression quickly subsided, and in just an instant, he regained his calm expression.

Fu Sangshen stood up calmly, without showing any embarrassment. He lowered his head first, and said softly to Lu Qiaoqiao, "I'm sorry, Ji Jun."

Then he turned sideways, and as usual, bowed his head to Mingshi Guoxing in a courteous manner: "Mingshi Palace, good night."

Like a cocoon, wrapping itself layer by layer, airtight.

This rapid change seemed to crush a green plum in Lu Qiaoqiao's heart.

Sour and astringent.

"What did you say about 'Ye'an'... You were still together just now, but you stepped into the ghost world first." Akashi Kuniyu murmured, "Please forgive me, the little ghosts of Awataguchi should cry again Alright..."

"What are you talking about?"

"No," Akashi Guoxing straightened up a little, "it's nothing."

While speaking, he turned his gaze to Lu Qiaoqiao.

The girl's expression was a bit complicated, but her eyes were shining brightly on Akashi Kunikun, apparently delighted by his arrival.

"Mr. Akashi."

She called out to the Taidao youth: "You have also come to this world."

"Of course," Akashi Kuniyuki rubbed his hair, "Although I don't have much energy...but I am also your sword."

The Taidao youth let out a long breath: "This period of time has been really tormented. The guy in California went out happily and came back in a daze. The guys in Honmaru also went crazy together... Fortunately, the contract is still there."

He raised his hand and pressed it lightly on his heart: "Otherwise, even I myself don't know what will happen."

The moonlight was shining from the corner of the eaves, and the expression of the Taidao youth softened. He raised his hand and gently placed it on the girl's hair.

"Anyway... I finally saw you again, as long as I'm fine. My master."

His palms were wide and warm, covering Lu Qiaoqiao's hair, as if gradually soothing the uneasiness in her heart.

Akashi Guoxing only kneaded for a while, then withdrew his hand under Yiqi Yizhen's attention, and resumed his lazy look: "Speaking of which, where are the guys who came before? Why is only the elder brother of Awataguchi here."

"Guys who came before" naturally refers to Toukenfusangshin who arrived in the present world first.

"When I came, Candlestick Qiedian was packing up the cups."

The one who answered him was Yiqi Yizheng: "The other highnesses are also helping."

Lu Qiaoqiao was startled: "Eh? It's not because you're angry with me..."

Before she finished speaking, she heard California Qingguang's voice from afar: "What are you talking about, master."

Fu Sangshen with black hair and red eyes came from the end of the corridor: "How could I be angry with you."

Behind him, a group of Sword Fusangshen stepped into the corridor one by one.

Tsurumaru Kuninaga raised his hand and waved towards Akashi Kuniyo: "Oh, you are here too, Akashi."

"Why do you ask me this when you see me..."

"I didn't expect you to be the first to grab the quota. I was scared by you, Akashi." Tsurumaru Kuninaga said with a smile.Then she said to Lu Qiaoqiao, "Hey, master. Have you finished talking with that Mr. Kun?"

The corner of Lu Qiaoqiao's mouth could not help but smile, she watched the swords approaching gradually, and was about to answer Tsurumaru Kuninaga's words, but found that California Kiyomitsu, who was walking in front, stopped.

About three meters away from her, the black-haired and red-eyed Fu Sangshen stopped, and then the swords following him also stopped one after another.

Even Yiqi Yizhen, who was standing beside her, took a step back silently.

It was as if there was an invisible barrier that kept them out.

"Master," even so, California Qingguang still looked at her with concern as usual, "What's wrong with you?"

Lu Qiaoqiao couldn't bear it anymore, she rushed over and grabbed California Qingguang's sleeve.

She was holding the piece of cloth tightly, but her voice was weak: "Why, why..."

"Owner?"

California Qingguang was caught off guard, and looked at the girl who rushed in front of him in surprise: "What's wrong with you."

The girl looked at him pitifully, and then at the other Fusangshen, her eyes were like those of an abandoned dog.

Are you still angry?

Must be angry.

"Owner?"

She looked into the eyes of California Qingguang, and finally asked in a low voice: "Qingguang, everyone... Are you angry with me?"

Then she felt a tightness in her wrist.

California Qingguang held her backhand, and said excitedly, "That's not the case, master!"

"Why are you angry with you, Master." Fu Sangshen's smile seemed to be broken, "Why do you think so?"

"Then, why...don't come near me anymore."

On the face of California Qingguang, there appeared an expression as if he had been hit hard.

Not only him, but Fu Sangshen who surrounded Lu Qiaoqiao fell silent.

"Haha, so there was such a misunderstanding."

said a voice.

As the moonlight rolled by, Fu Sangshen, who was dressed in a gorgeous hunting suit, approached silently, the crescent lines in his eyes gleamed faintly.

"Mr. Sanriyue?"

On the third day, Yue Zong stepped on the moonlight and stood beside the girl. The shadow he cast seemed to completely cover Lu Qiaoqiao.

Fu Sangshen sighed like a long wind: "I don't come near you because I am ashamed, my lord."

There was a moment of silence in the corridor.

Then, the Sword Fusangshen surrounding the girl spoke one after another, scrambling to tell her.

"Exactly...Because I failed to protect you, I am too ashamed to approach you, my lord."

"Not only that, ghosts can't get out, and they don't even have the ability to rush to you in the first place."

"I can only stay in the shrine...waiting for the news from the Daoist Ministry."

"It's such a failure, it's not handsome at all."

Lu Qiaoqiao's stiff body finally slowly regained consciousness.

When Fu Sangshen spoke, she didn't even dare to breathe loudly, for fear of missing a sentence of accusation.However, the expected reprimand was completely absent, only their concern was clearly conveyed to her.

Sanri Yuezong stood quietly aside, he didn't say anything, just stared at Lu Qiaoqiao.

After a while, Fu Sangshen took a step forward and put his arms around the girl's shoulders: "Master?"

Lu Qiaoqiao swayed and was supported by Fu Sangshen. Only then did she realize that her body was weak and weak, and a thin layer of sweat oozed from her forehead.

——In a very short period of time, her emotions went up and down several times, and her body, which hadn't fully recovered at the moment, was actually a little shaky.

However, the girl's expression relaxed, as if she could finally feel a little more at ease.

There was wet light in her eyes, but soon, the girl blinked, and then smiled again: "So, that's the case. I'm sorry... I thought everyone didn't want to pay attention to me."

"Is that why he has the expression of an abandoned dog?"

Mustache said with a smile.

"Abandoned, abandoned dog? Hey, Genji, are you saying that the master looks like a little Shiba Inu?"

"It's too rude, I'll kill you."

"Don't even think about being disrespectful to your elder brother."

Mustache turned a deaf ear to these noises, and just looked at Lu Qiaoqiao with a smile on his face: "Although those guys wandered around the shrine all day in a state of desperation, since they have a blood contract, they can naturally feel that your life is not in danger. It's just that I can't help being anxious because of my own shallowness."

California Qingguang said coldly: "The guy who doesn't have a contract really doesn't understand the mood of worrying about the lord."

Fu Sangshen with pale blond hair just slightly squinted his eyes, then continued to smile and said: "And now..."

"—This kind of boring emotion finally made you sad."

Including California Qingguang, Shu Zhenfu, who came to this world, suddenly looked stiff.

"It's just," Higakiri changed the subject, and continued, "I really like your expression now."

"Confused, restless, regretful... just like an ordinary girl in this world."

"Among my former masters, there was a city lord, and there were also heroes." Higashiki's smile remained unchanged, but his eyes were unusually serious, "And you, now, don't have the stature of a monarch...but you often flaunt your strength beyond your limits. .”

The sharp edge of the blade was attached to Hakiri's neck.

"Brother!"

Kagemaru exclaimed, and pressed his hand on the handle of the knife involuntarily: "Tsurumaru Kuninaga! Take your knife away."

In the moonlight, the thin camouflage covering Tsurumaru Kuninaga's body drifted away like catkins.

"It's really scary," Fu Sangshen sighed, but the blade moved a little closer, "If you're overthinking yourself, Mustache Palace often makes this kind of mistake."

Higakiri stretched out a finger, and put it on Tsurumaru Kuninaga's blade with a smile: "It's hard to say, the younger generation of the Gojo family, when it comes to the sharpness of the sword, I'm not afraid of anyone present."

"It's really impolite, Hikakiriden." Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada looked calm, but he held the handle of the knife without hesitation, "In front of us, talking arrogantly about our master, but it's not handsome at all."

Amidst the imminent murderous intent, Lu Qiaoqiao's weak voice sounded: "Mr. Mustache is right, everyone, don't be angry."

"Higakiri-san's masters include General Minamoto Yorimitsu and Minamoto Yoritomo who founded the shogunate politics. How can I compare with these famous monarchs?"

"The same is true for all of you. They are all famous swords in history. I am lucky to meet you because I am a god judge."

Lu Qiaoqiao said with some embarrassment: "Other than that, I am completely inferior to everyone's former master."

"Oh." Mustache raised his eyebrows slightly, "he is very self-aware on this point."

"Master," California Qingguang said a little angrily, "Even so, this guy has repeatedly offended you..."

Lu Qiaoqiao blinked her eyes: "I think, Mr. Mustache, probably wants me to reflect on myself and do what I can. When I realize that I am a mediocre mortal other than my aptitude as a god judge, I should rely on you in the future. Don't try to figure it out on your own."

"It's more tactful to say it."

——Can that be called 'tactful'?That's ironic!

California Qingguang clenched his fist and shouted: "The master is not a mediocre mortal!"

His voice echoed in the corridor, Lu Qiaoqiao was startled, and quickly grabbed Fu Sangshen's sleeve: "Keep your voice down, Qing Guang. Mr. Kun has already rested."

She got very close, and a blush quickly appeared on California Qingguang's face, and his voice suddenly dropped: "This, this way... I understand, master."

"Haha, it's indeed late at night."

Sanri Yue Zongjin's voice sounded: "Since the lord has forgiven Hikakiri, let's stop here."

After his words fell, a few seconds later, the blade attached to Hikari's neck was slowly retracted by Tsurumaru Kuninaga.

The dark Fu Sangshen said in the same tone as usual: "I was escaped by the mustache palace again."

When he finally pushed away from Hikari, Keimaruta heaved a sigh of relief, and finally moved away from the hand that had been holding the handle of the knife.

"Brother!"

He called mustache, and he was completely relieved when he didn't find any wound on mustache's neck.

Then he turned his gaze to Lu Qiaoqiao, with a complicated expression, his lips moved slightly, but in the end he didn't say a word.

At that moment just now, he reflexively wanted to stop Higakiri, and almost blurted out 'brother offended you again', but stopped his voice at the last moment.

— After all, there is no contract.

From what standpoint do you say these words?

The tense atmosphere that made Lu Qiaoqiao tense has finally calmed down.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and the energy she had forced herself to hang up relaxed, and she couldn't help but yawned a little.

"Are you sleepy, master?" California Qingguang immediately asked with concern.

"After all, the master is still in the process of self-cultivation, you need to have a good rest." Candlestick cut light loyally, "Master, where is your dormitory?"

Lu Qiaoqiao was indeed sleepy.

So she said honestly: "Mr. Kun has made arrangements, it's in the inner garden."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt her body lighten.

The faint fragrance of coldness surrounds her, and the wide hunting clothes almost wrap her. When she raises her head, she can see the crescent moon of Sanri Yuezong near her eyes.

Fu Sangshen smiled and said gently: "Are you going to bed? Very good, then let me escort you to your dormitory."

He took a step forward, his arms swaying slightly with his steps, like the strongest and gentlest cradle.

"Thank you," Lu Qiaoqiao said softly, "Mr. Sanriyue."

"Master, I can hug you too."

"It's really cunning, Sanriyue Palace."

"It was preempted."

During the intermittent conversation, Sword Fusangshen surrounded the girl and slowly disappeared at the end of the corridor.Keimaru watched their backs, and turned his head when he couldn't see them at all, "Brother."

"Why do you say that about the god judge?"

"Is Kukui Wan complaining?"

"Brother!"

Knee Maru clenched his fists: "The judge is obviously a very good child, and my name is Knee Maru."

"Anyway, she is just a girl in her teens. She grew up in a stable world, and it is very pitiful to be involved in the fate of the sword and Fusangshen. How can you use the standards of those monarchs and generals? to ask her."

Mustache just gave him a slight sideways glance.

"This idea... is also what those stupid guys think in their hearts."

"Do you want to train the god judge to be a monarch?"

"The monarch..." Mustache said slowly, "I don't know either."

Kagemaru frowned slightly: "What exactly do you want to do, brother? You have never signed a contract with a god judge."

"Conclude a contract?"

But Chikiri asked back: "Ah, that's what Fuxingmaru was thinking about."

"No, no...I..."

"Of course there is a contract to be concluded."

Fu Sangshen said calmly.

"However, if she is like our former master, like a shooting star, coming for a short time and leaving in a hurry, even if she concludes the most stable blood contract, what's the use?"

Knee Maru was taken aback.

"It doesn't matter whether it's a monarch or an ordinary girl." Higakiri stepped forward and walked towards Neiyuan, "I want her to be by my side forever."

"So... hurry up."

He murmured in an extremely soft voice: "Hurry up and find out... little girl."

The so-called 'self-knowledge' is the most thorough recognition of oneself.

Only in this way can she set foot on the 'road' that has long been presented to her.

……

…………

Kun's courtyard occupies a vast area, and by the time he reached the inner courtyard, Lu Qiaoqiao had long been drowsy in Fu Sangshen's embrace.

"Owner."

California Qingguang called her softly: "It's already here."

Lu Qiaoqiao tried hard to open her eyes: "It's here, thank you."

There was a faint yellow light behind the traditional shoji door. This was obviously the room Kun had prepared for her. Lu Qiaoqiao retracted her gaze, slid down from Mikazuki Zongjin's embrace, and staggered towards the door.

She stretched out her hand, trying to open the shoji door, but found nothing.

"Master," Candlestick Qie Guangzhong grabbed her shoulder, "Be careful."

Only then did Lu Qiaoqiao realize that she was still standing on the stone steps, and there was still a long distance from the door.

"I'm scared... I'm really tired, Master." Tsurumaru Kuninaga said, "Let us help you in."

"Although you shouldn't enter the lord's dormitory, that's the only way to do it right now." Yizheng said softly.He raised his hand and opened the shoji door.

The warm yellow light came oncoming, and the quilts laid on the tatami were so attractive in the light.Lu Qiaoqiao just took one look, and felt that her soul was about to be sucked in.

She leaned against the candlestick cut Guangzhong's arms, dazedly rubbed on the bedding, and whispered: "I'm sorry to bother you..."

Halfway through the speech, it stopped abruptly.

——California Kiyomitsu walked to the tatami and lifted the futon.

The original intention was just to serve the master to bed.

However, after the quilt was lifted, the Taidao lying on the bed appeared in front of all Fusangshen without reservation.

At this moment, the air in the room seemed to freeze.

"Hey," Sanri Yuezong raised his sleeves and gently covered half of his face, "This is... Dadian Taiguangshi?"
