"That's right, 'Devil Slayer' is the reward! And, as a sign of sincerity, I can hand over 'Demon Slayer' to you first." Midori Sawai said while handing over the bag with the wrapping strip removed. Long sword.

"Why?" Li Xuehao did not reach out to pick it up. Although he also wanted to help Chiba Sayuri get back the divine sword belonging to Chiba Shrine, he had not figured out Midori Sawai's intention yet.

A divine sword that can "slay demons and subjugate demons" is definitely worth more than the reward for winning the "Skills Competition". After all, the reward for the winner is only two more invitation tickets and a virtual ranking in the school. But at the beginning Sawai Midori casually gave him the invitation ticket to the Onmyoji Blessing God Gathering and let him handle it on his own. Obviously she didn't care about the invitation ticket that much, but now she was actually willing to use her weapons as reward in order to win the competition in exchange for the two invitations. Yes, this is a complete contradiction.

Seemingly seeing through his thoughts, Midori Sawai explained: "Although 'Demon Slayer' is powerful, it belongs to Chiba Shrine after all, and it requires people from the Chiba family to exert its maximum power."

Li Xuehao was noncommittal to her explanation, because even if he was not a member of the Qianye family, he could still use "Ghost Slash". When she used this sword, even the spider-like resentful spirit did not dare to approach her easily, which shows that "Ghost Slash" The power, now that it cannot exert its strongest power and must be returned to the original owner, does not sound like the truth.

"Why is this sword in your hand?" Since it is a family heirloom of Chiba Shrine, it is worth exploring if it appears in the hands of others.

Midori Sawai did not hide anything and said bluntly: "About a few decades ago, a traitor appeared in the Chiba family. He sold the 'Demon Slayer' to a person, and that person was my master. I believe this." There are records in the Chiba Shrine. The Chiba family may not have recovered this 'Demon Slayer' for this reason, so it has been kept by my master. Recently, she handed over the 'Demon Slayer' to me. hands."

"Then will your master allow you to give away 'Ghost Slayer' as a reward?" Li Xuehao continued to ask.

Sawai Midori replied calmly: "She told me when she handed the 'Demon Slayer' into my hands that if it could be returned to Chiba Shrine, it would also be her wish to return it to its original owner."

Li Xuehao looked at her carefully, and it didn't sound like a lie. Of course, he didn't need to use any means to test whether she was lying. He nodded: "I can ask Sayuri for you, but it depends on whether she will agree. It was her own will.”

"I believe she will." Midori Sawai was very confident about this, and he didn't know where this confidence came from. At the same time, he couldn't help but put the "Ghost Slayer" into his hand.

Li Xuehao did not refuse this time, holding "Ghost Slayer" in his hand. Seeing that he was almost at Sawai's house, he stopped at the right time and stopped walking forward: "It's already very late, I have to go back."

Sawai Midori didn't stop him this time, but just said again when he turned around: "Onmyoji will gather on June 18th, let's go to Tokyo together."

"...If you have time." Li Xuehao replied ambiguously. In fact, even if he had an invitation ticket given to him by Shijo Chongguo, he didn't really want to go to the Onmyoji God of Fortune gathering.

Seemingly tired from carrying her suitcase again, Midori Sakai exchanged her suitcase with one hand and looked at him specifically: "At the God of Fortune gathering, you can not only get to know famous onmyojis from all over the country and even abroad, but you can also exchange each other's needs. Although Zhenzhong is powerful, there are still things he needs, right? I believe that your trip will be worthwhile after you go there."

Saying this made Li Xuehao a little more interested. He also had a spiritual plant at home. Although it could be used directly as medicine, it was too wasteful. It would be better to find some spiritual plants and plant them, so that he could get a steady stream of spiritual energy. It's something, and if you can exchange it for a spiritual plant at the Onmyoji Blessing God Gathering, it would be really "worthwhile" to go there.

And it's not just spiritual planting. If possible, Li Xuehao even wants to exchange some weapon refining materials. In recent days, he has had a vague hunch that his realm seems to be breaking through again. As long as he breaks through this level, then foundation building is in sight. .

At the foundation building stage, flying with a sword is no longer a dream. Therefore, he needs some high-quality materials to refine a high-quality flying sword.

"How about it, Manaka, I'll call you then and we'll go to Tokyo together." Midori Sawai saw that he was a little moved, and the corner of his mouth raised a nice arc.

"...Okay." After thinking for a while, Li Xuehao finally agreed. It was also a weekend day anyway, and it was not far from Tokyo. It didn't take much time to go back and forth.

"Then it's settled." Midori Sawai seemed to be in a good mood, even ignoring the weight of the suitcase he was carrying.

"Yes." Li Xuehao nodded, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and stopped Midori Sawai, who was in a happy mood and left with light steps, "Miss Sawai, do you know anyone?"

"Who is it?" Midori Sawai stopped, with doubt and curiosity on his face.

"Haobi Yuzuki, do you know her?" Li Xuehao looked at her with a strange look. Originally, he didn't want to talk to Midori Sawai about such gossip, but now that the two of them have agreed to attend the Onmyoji Blessing God Gathering together, Then he is considered a "companion", so he should remind her.

"Do you know Mr. Yuzuki?" Midori Sawai's expression changed instantly and became a little ugly.

"She is a colleague of one of my... friend's mothers." Looking at her abnormal expression, Li Xuehao couldn't help but wonder, was Midori Sawai really snatching her boyfriend away from her as Yuzuki Hayabusa said? Becoming a third party?

"Hmph!" After hearing what he said, Sawai Midori's face turned completely cold, apparently guessing something, "Is that woman going around saying that I stole her man? She is the biggest victim, right?" Teacher Lian She didn't scream anymore. Apparently she was not so afraid of Yuzuki Hayabusa's status as a teacher.

Then, without waiting for Li Xuehao to say anything, he continued to say in a cold voice: "In fact, that man didn't like her at all. He was just a poor man controlled by a ghost. I took away the ghost in him, and after he regained his normal consciousness, he and the woman We broke up, so that stupid woman went around saying that I seduced her man. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have saved her!"

So that’s it! Li Xuehao felt inexplicably relieved. Just now he had thought that Midori Sakai was so "unscrupulous" that he would steal someone else's boyfriend.
