Chapter 232 Zhuhe Meeting

Seven days go by in a blink of an eye.

Kanae took Long Xiaolin and Hill to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

Entering the backyard, several guards had already arrived and were waiting.

The Rock Pillar, Gyoumei Hayami, who shed tears and pretended to be merciful; the Sound Pillar, Tengen Uzui, who had a few diamonds on his headdress and light blue diamond chains on both sides; and the Water Pillar, Giyu Tomioka, who he met not long ago after killing Douma.

[There are really few pillars at this time. I remember that my eldest brother became a pillar not long after Shinobu Kocho became a pillar and took on the task of killing the Lower Rank.]

Just when Long Xiaolin was about to go up and say hello, a voice came from behind him, "Are you the one wearing that strange armor who destroyed the Upper String Demon?"

When he turned around, the person who spoke was a man named Fushigi Miya, who had three long and narrow scars on his face and white spiky hair.

Seeing that Long Xiaolin didn't make any move, Shimi became a little impatient. He grabbed Long Xiaolin's collar and asked him in a face, "I'm talking to you, do you hear me?!"

"Shimi, this is the lord's yard, stop making trouble." Seeing that Shimi came with ill intentions and the atmosphere between him and Long Xiaolin was tense, Kanae quickly spoke up to smooth things over.

"Don't worry about it, Kanae. Boy, since you killed the Upper Rank with that armor, put it on and fight me!"

Looking at the aggressive Shi Mi, Long Xiaolin found it a little funny.

"Let's fight?" He said as he untied Shiya's hand that was grabbing his collar. "Excuse me, you don't even have the qualifications to let me draw my sword, let alone the combined armor."

After saying that, he strode over to the other pillars and greeted them.

Feeling humiliated, Shimi's face turned red. He couldn't help but vent his anger, and his hand slowly reached for the Sun Blade at his waist.

Seeing Shimi was about to draw her sword to attack Long Xiaolin, Kanae panicked and wanted to shout to warn him, but was stopped by Hill beside her, who told her not to worry.

"You bastard!"

Shimi drew his sword instantly and rushed forward, stabbing the Sun Wheel Sword straight at Long Xiaolin.

Long Xiaolin, who was chatting with Tomioka Giyu, felt the breath behind him. Without even turning his head, he clamped the stabbing knife with just two fingers, and then swung it away along with the knife wielder Shimi.

This operation stunned everyone present. Tian Yuan saw this seamless movement and jumped up excitedly, shouting, "Too gorgeous!"

Shimi, who was thrown away, stared angrily at Long Xiaolin who was still chatting with Yiyong, and the Nichirin Sword in his hand became tighter and tighter.

"I am going to kill you!"

Just as he was about to continue his attack, a voice in the main house made him put away the knife.

"The Lord has arrived." X2

The next second, all the pillars stood in a row and knelt on one knee.

The woman opened the door and a man wearing a uniform similar to that of a Hokage came out. Although the upper part of his face was disfigured, it did not affect his appearance at all.

After closing the door, the woman stood up and supported the man as they walked outside step by step. The two were none other than the lord Ubuyashiki Yoshiya and his wife Amane.

[Is this face cursed? ]

Feeling the warmth of the sun shining on his body, Yaoya was sure that today would be another good day.

"The weather is really nice." Yaoya said gently, "My lovely children are here. I am very happy that they can come safely to attend the semi-annual meeting of the pillars."

The strange voice and gentle tone made Long Xiaolin and Xi'er, who were standing beside them, feel light and airy.

At this time, Shimi was about to say something to take care of his lord's health, but when he saw that the two men did not kneel, his temper flared up again.

"You two guys, why don't you come over here quickly, kneel down and pay homage to the Lord!"

"Huh? Why?" Long Xiaolin was confused by Shimi's rebuke. "Why would I kneel down to someone I just met? Am I that cheap?"

[It’s over, it’s over. Isn’t Xiao Linjun’s temper too aggressive? ]

"What did you say, you bastard!" Hearing this, Shimizu became even more annoyed than before, and his hand reached for the Sun Blade at his waist again. "My lord, please allow me to kill this bastard who was disrespectful to you!"

"Have I given you too much face?" Long Xiaolin got angry now and activated [Killing State] and went straight for Shimi.

The powerful pressure instantly forced Shimi to kneel down on his knees with his hands on the ground, making him unable to move at all. Even if he wanted to use Full Concentration Breathing, he couldn't do it at all. The horrible feeling of oppression made him feel as if he was at the bottom of the deep sea and unable to breathe.

Fortunately, this feeling lasted less than five seconds, and Long Xiaolin put away his murderous intent.

"Okay Shimizu, stop fighting."

"Yes." After recovering, Shimi returned to his kneeling posture.

"I have heard about the two of you from Giyuu. Thank you for saving my child and helping us kill the Upper Rank Demon."

"You're welcome. It's just a small favor. Compared to this, my lord, please forgive me for being rude in the following matters."

"Oh? It's okay, what do you want?" Yaoya suddenly stopped talking halfway because he felt the sunlight in front of him was blocked.

But in reality, it was Long Xiaolin who was standing in front of him with one hand facing his face.

The pillars below saw this and thought that Long Xiaolin was going to attack their lord, so they all drew their swords and rushed forward.

But suddenly a pair of huge scissors tore the ground and blocked the people. It was Hill who stopped them.

"Please calm down, Xiao Lin is not trying to hurt your lord, but to help him."

"Huh? What the hell are you talking about!"

Shimi, who was already angry because of being humiliated, now saw Long Xiaolin making moves to hurt his lord, which made him unable to bear it any longer.

Ignoring Kanae's obstruction, he drew his sword and stabbed Hill, but the attack was blocked by Hill's ecstasy.

[What kind of material are these scissors made of? Why are they so hard? ]

At the same time, Long Xiaolin rubbed a ball of light in his hand, and the shadow of a clock gradually appeared in front of Yaoya.

As the pointer spun rapidly, the light became more and more dazzling, so bright that people could not open their eyes.

After the light faded, Long Xiaolin flashed back to where he was, bent 90 degrees towards where the pillars and Yaoya could see him, and said, "That's what I said. Excuse me for being rude. I was too abrupt, please forgive me."

Looking at Long Xiaolin apologizing sincerely, Shi Mi and the others were a little confused for a moment.

At this time, Kanae on the side exclaimed, "Ah! My lord, your face!"

The moment he raised his head, Xingming stopped crying and looked at his lord in surprise. Even Tianyin, his wife beside Yaoya, did not expect this.

The leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, Lord Ubuyashiki Yoya, has actually returned to his youthful appearance and there is no sign of being affected by the curse.

Yaoya, who had regained his sight, was unable to adapt to the glaring sunlight for a moment, and walked into the shadows with his eyes closed.

After he recovered, he opened his eyes again and saw his wife who was by his side and his children in the yard. He was so excited that he couldn't control his tears.

"Although I can't cut off the effects of the curse, I can still restore my youthful appearance and freeze it at that moment."

"So, Xiao Linjun, that's why you rushed over just now."

"How do you know that the lord is cursed? Chanae probably didn't tell you, right?"

"It's true that it wasn't stated explicitly, but I could tell from one glance. It's not convenient to state it explicitly."

"You are quite capable, kid."

"You still have times when you speak nicely."

At this time, the door of the main house was opened again, and Yaoya, who had tidied his appearance, walked out again. This time he no longer needed Tianyin's support, so he let her go to rest.

As soon as he came out, Yaoya couldn't wait to kneel down in front of Long Xiaolin, ready to thank him.

Long Xiaolin noticed this and hurriedly held his hands, saying that there was no need to do so and that he couldn't bear it.

“Thank you for what you have done, Lord Xiao Lin. I owe you another favor.

So back to the previous topic, Kanae should have mentioned to you, are you and Miss Hill willing to join the Demon Slayer Corps?"
