After three years of not stepping into the gate of the Chang family, the moment he saw the ancestral house of the Chang family, Xishanyuan Qiyin even felt a little nostalgia.

She stood outside the door for a while. She collected her mood and adjusted her expression. She folded her hands on her abdomen and stepped into the open door dignifiedly and gracefully as the head of the Xishan courtyard.

This was the biggest gathering held by the Chang family in the past few years. The huge meeting room was full of demon exorcists from all over the place.

Qi Yin didn't want to be crowded with people, so she found a place with relatively few people, and looked around quietly with her eyes.

Everyone from the eleventh family has come, and besides that, there are many demon-killers that she doesn't know.

Are these people really coming to congratulate Zhang Jingsi to inherit the position of Patriarch?

She doesn't look like it.

"Ayaka, bring me a glass of juice." Qi Yin was a little thirsty, and ordered to Ayaka.

Ayaka agreed to leave, and Qi Yin stood alone in the corner, eavesdropping on the conversation of the demon exorcists around her with a blank expression and aboveboard.

During the period, many people from the Eleven family recognized her, came over to say hello to her, and chatted with her.

These people who greeted her were gentle and polite on the surface, but in fact they had their own ulterior motives. They were all secretly asking why she didn't attend the family gathering for three whole years.

Qi Yin knew that rumors of a breakup between the Xishanyuan family and the Chang family had already spread in the demon world.

Of course, the only victim of this rumor was herself. The Eleven family turned against her as early as her father's death and no longer recognized her.

They wished that she could be driven away by the Zhang family. After all, she has a 'good relationship' with Zhang Jingsi, and she is very obtrusive in the eyes of other families. They think that she has obtained a lot of benefits from the Chang family secretly by virtue of her childhood sweetheart status. .

Qi Yin has never had a good impression of members of the Eleven family, but fortunately, the Xishan family has hardened under her care in the past few years. She was too lazy to explain to them and dismissed them with the excuse of being unwell.

The Eleven family, who had been smacking their noses, became more and more dissatisfied with her, but after all, the families were still allied, and no one dared to make trouble in the current territory.

Xishanyuan Qiyin drove away the annoying flies, a little boring.She was thinking about why Ayaka hadn't come back yet, when she suddenly heard someone calling her name.

"Miss Xishanyuan?"

It was a very pleasant and gentle male voice, and when she pronounced her surname, she was still a little uncertain.

Qi Yin glanced over, and met a pair of red eyes that she seemed to have seen before, but she couldn't remember.

"Are you...?" She frowned slightly, and looked at the tall and handsome young man in front of her with some doubts.

"You actually forgot about me, my name is Natori, Natori Monday." Natori Monday took off his hat and smiled warmly.

Only then did Qi Yin recall, ah, it was him.

It was the person who bought loquat cakes four years ago when he had a brain twitch and wanted to have a good birthday for Chang Jingsi.

"Long time no see." Xishanyuan Qiyin nodded slightly, and politely called out in a tone that a patriarch should use when socializing, "Mr. Natori."

"It's been a long time."

Over the years, Natori Monday has been doing well in the demon world.He has changed from a hedgehog-like state in his youth. Not only has he put away his edge and become smoother, he has also stepped into the film and television industry and become a well-known star.

But Qi Yin doesn't watch TV very much, so she doesn't know this.

She even wondered why Natori would appear here.

"Did you also join the field?"

"Me? No, it's just an invitation from Mr. Ma." Natori replied on Monday.

Qi Yin quickly found the point from his words.

His name for Chang Jingsi changed, and he was called Mr. Dechang instead of Jingsi.

It seems that she and Chang Jingsi are not the only ones whose relationship has changed in the past few years.

"So that's the case." Qi Yin smiled.

Natori glanced at her and asked politely: "Can I be allowed to stay here? There are too many people in other places, and I'm not very used to it."

"Of course, please do it yourself."

The two greeted briefly, but did not continue chatting due to unfamiliarity.

In the corner, the silence was a bit awkward for a moment, and when Qi Yin was complaining in her heart why the rally hadn't officially started yet, she and Natori Yiyi suddenly passed a pair of demon exorcisers who were talking.

These two demon exterminations were about 27 or [-] years old, and they looked extremely mediocre, a type that could not be found in the crowd.

But the content of the chat between these two ordinary demon slayers is interesting.

"Have you heard? The reason Patriarch Chang called us here today is to formally pass on the title of Patriarch to Young Master Chang in front of everyone."

"I know, it's the genius of that Chang family."

"Genius? Hehe, who knows how much real strength he has."

"Eh? But isn't it generally accepted that the young master of the Chang family has a strong ability to eliminate demons?"

"That's not necessarily true. Have you seen him eliminate demons with your own eyes?"

"That's not true. I just hear rumors about him often."

"Right? Maybe it's all just fake news that the Chang family used to stabilize people's hearts after the Patriarch was seriously ill." The demon extermination who started the topic sneered, not convinced, "I want to see, this young man Let's see if Young Master Chang can really take on the heavy responsibility."

The demon exorcist said in a strange way: "Anyway, such a big family is managed by a young boy who has just turned 20, which is really worrying."

…………

Mess and gibberish.

Rao didn't like Zhang Jingsi, and he had received a lot of care from the Chang family over the years, and Xishanyuan's prayers were really unbearable.

She stepped forward and walked in front of the two demon exorcists, raised her chin, and smiled mockingly, "Young Master Chang is too young to take on the heavy responsibility, what about you? Strength? Since you think Young Master Chang is not qualified to be the head of the family, why not try to recommend yourself. The Chang family has always talked about strength, if you can do it, the head of the family who wants to come is also willing to consider it."

After Qi Yin finished speaking, she laughed, and said contemptuously: "But in my opinion, based on your strength, you are not even worthy of being a follower to Master Chang."

The two hilarious demon exorcisers didn't expect someone to come out suddenly to mock them, and their expressions suddenly turned ugly. Among them, the arrogant demon exorcist frowned first and said, "Who are you?"

"You don't even know me. It seems that you don't even belong to the Eleven family. You just come from some little-known little family."

Qi Yin stared at them, and said lightly: "It's just jumping around behind the scenes. When I really get to Master Chang, I guess I don't even dare to fart."

"you----!"

The self-esteem of the demon expelling man who was exposed was severely hit. He was not a high-quality person in the first place, so he raised his hand in anger.

Qi Yin raised her eyebrows, what, is this trying to hit her?

She folded her arms across her chest, not afraid at all.

She has also learned self-defense skills and fighting skills over the years, plus she often fights with monsters when exorcising demons on weekdays, it is really impossible for these two demon exorcisers in front of her who don't seem to be very good at beating her.

However, this impulsive and arrogant demon slayer didn't give her a chance to show off—to be precise, Natori Monday didn't give her a chance to show her strength.

Natori Monday easily stopped the demon extermination, with a dangerous smile, he taught in the most gentle tone: "It's unforgivable to hit a girl."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yin glanced at Natori Monday, raised the corners of her lips, and joked, "Don't meddle in your own business, Mr. Natori."

"No, it's just that after I heard those words, I couldn't bear to see it." Natori Yiyi clenched the demon exorcist's wrist, and the demon exorcist suddenly showed a painful expression.

Natori Monday pushed the Demon Slayer back to his companion with a cold gaze.

The demon extermination man covered his aching wrist, and cursed angrily: "You, you wait! You actually treat me like this, do you know who I am?"

"I don't know, I'm not interested in you." Qi Yin smiled faintly.

The exorcist was even angrier.He wanted to say something more, but his companion stopped him with embarrassment, "Let's go, don't quarrel with her, that woman is the owner of the Xishan courtyard."

The demon extermination man stared round, in disbelief, "The family from Xishanyuan?"

"Yeah, stop arguing, be careful that her family won't sell your spells in the future." His companion worried, "Aren't you just relying on the charms sold by her family to get rid of demons?"

"........."

The demon exorcist who originally wanted Qiyin to look good heard this sentence, stopped his mouth as if he was choked by something, and finally left cursing.

Qi Yin watched them leave with cold eyes, and snorted softly, "A group of maggots."

Natori Monday looked at the backs of the two of them through the lens, and sighed, "I didn't expect that people from the Chang School would be dissatisfied with their own school. They are obviously attached to the Chang family, right?"

Qi Yin disdainfully said: "Where are those people from the Zhang family? They are just rubbish holding the Chang family's thigh, enjoying the benefits while cursing their mothers. The Chang family has really fallen over the years, and even this kind of people are under the family. I don't know how Chang Jingsi manages..."

Qi Yin complained here, and suddenly remembered something, raised her eyes and glanced at Natori Yiyi, "Speaking of which, if I remember correctly, your family and the Chang clan have been opposed for generations."

"...That was true in the past." Natori Yiyi smiled awkwardly, "But now I'm the only one left in my family doing the job of exorcising demons."

"I don't know much about your family. I heard that you are an expert in manipulating paper?"

"Ah."

"It's really amazing." Qi Yin sighed softly, and chatted with interest, "So what is the relationship between you and Chang Jingsi? He told me before that you are very close friends."

There was a hint of embarrassment on Natori Monday's handsome face.

After a long time, a wry smile appeared, "It's not like that."

Qi Yin raised her eyebrows: "Oh?"

"Mr. Dechang and I have different ideas." Natori Monday stared at her calmly with red eyes under the lens, and smiled softly, "If it wasn't for the different ideas, maybe we could become good friends."

"The idea is different." Qi Yin repeated this sentence on his lips, recalling the details he had heard before, and curled his lips, "Speaking of it, he seems to have said that you are too gentle with monsters. You This kind of person is rare in the demon world."

"It's rare, it doesn't sound like a good word." Nina scratched her hair with a smile.

Qi Yin also laughed out loud, and admitted: "It is indeed not a good word. A gentle demon extermination person will hesitate when exterminating demons, and he will not live long in that way. Just kill monsters directly, there is no need to be soft-hearted."

"But what if it's a good monster who hasn't hurt anyone?" Natori Yiyi suddenly raised his voice and asked.

He met the amber eyes that Shang Qiyin was looking at him, and inexplicably weakened, "...I know that most monsters are bad, I'm just talking about those monsters that are not strong and have never interfered with humans .Besides, even the heinous monsters don’t necessarily have to be killed. Sealing is also possible..."

"So Mr. Natori will first consider whether this monster is good or bad before eliminating the monster, and then decide whether to let it go or seal it?"

"Huh? Uh, probably that's right..."

"I understand." Qi Yin raised his hand to cover his smiling lips, and sighed, "No wonder he said that you were too gentle and not suitable to be a demon exorcist."

Natori Monday twitched the corners of his mouth, and the modest smile on his face almost couldn't hold back: "Is it funny? I just insist on my own way. Exorcising monsters who didn't do evil... I can't do this kind of thing."

He looked too serious.Qi Yin was slightly surprised, looked away and said meaningfully: "I'm sorry, I'm not joking at you, I'm just... a little envious of you being able to maintain such gentleness."

"Envy?" Natori didn't quite understand.

Qi Yin didn't speak any more.

Just at this time, the rally officially started, and the surrounding area became quiet.

A dark-haired man in a black kimono walked slowly into the hall.

His long black hair was combed into a bunch behind his back, and the smile on his handsome face was just right. Behind him were more than a dozen servants and Shikigami, and they walked to the center of the hall with great momentum under the eyes of everyone.

"Thanks to everyone taking time out of their busy schedules to visit the humble house. I have something to solemnly tell you today."

After everyone quieted down, Zhang Jingsi faced the crowd and said with a smile, "My father is not feeling well. From today onwards, I will officially take over the position of Patriarch. I will do my best to take care of everyone in the alliance. Take care of everyone."

As soon as the words fell, there was warm applause in the venue, and congratulatory words sounded from all sides, and Zhang Jingsi finished the opening remarks of this rally with a smile on his face.Xishanyuan Qiyin stood in the corner, looking at him in the center of the crowd from a distance.

Not seeing him for three years, the changes in him are truly terrifying.

When did he start to grow long hair, why did he learn such polite words, and when... grew from a boy to a man?

The emotions flowing in my heart, I can't tell how complicated it is.Qi Yin didn't show it on the surface, but looked peacefully at the direction of Chang Jingsi, observing his every move.

Suddenly, Zhang Jingsi, who was talking with someone, seemed to notice something, and raised his eyes towards her.

The crimson phoenix eyes collided with her gaze.

She saw that he seemed to be slightly stunned for a moment, then raised his lips, and said to her from a distance with his lips:

[Sister Qiyin, you are here. ]
