The fragrance of tea filled the principal's office of Maple Bridge College. Xu Yinian sat sullenly on the sofa, listening to Tang Fei's chat with the principal.

The principal is in his late teens, and when he meets his old friend, his usually serious demeanor rarely relaxes a little. The young man in front of him has a handsome face and eyes like cold stars. Although they are almost 10 years apart in age, they have known each other for many years.

Very good personal relationship.

Before entering the office, Xu Yinian was already prepared to be lectured. As expected, the principal severely criticized Xu Yinian for leaving the team without authorization and his unorganized and undisciplined behavior. Tang Fei occasionally helped Xu Yinian.

This process is very familiar. Keep your head down the whole time and go in with the left ear and out with the right ear.

The two of them had not met for a long time. They talked about everything from Xu Yinian's graduation examination. At first, they could still listen to their conversation with open ears. When the two of them talked about the current situation in the academy to the current situation in the world of demon slayers, Xu

Yi Nian was already bored, so he turned around and looked at the maple leaf school emblem with red background and gold lines behind the spotless desk.

Noticing ‌’s ‌ movements, the principal commented: “The talent is good, but the ‌ can’t be still.”

Tang Fei said as usual: "It's been like this ever since."

"You are still too indulgent." The principal looked at Xu Yinian as he spoke. The latter's soul had already flown out of the office, completely unaware that the two elders were talking about him. The boy looked out the window and stared at the tree intently.

The sparrow flapping its wings said, "There is only one apprentice. Being a master is more or less easy. Have you ever considered taking on another apprentice?"

Tang Fei's status in the world of demon slayers is undeniable, and there are countless people who are willing to become his disciples. As far as the principal knows, every year, those who visit the Tang family here can break through the door.

Tang Fei said calmly: "This is enough."

The sparrows outside the window jumped down from the treetops, and the entertainment they finally found flew away. Xu Yinian was feeling regretful when his cell phone suddenly rang.

After seeing the electrician clearly, Xu Yinian's expression became dull for a moment. He turned around and asked, "Master, can I go out and answer the phone?"

"Go on, don't go far."

Seeing him getting up from the sofa and running out impatiently, the principal shook his head repeatedly.

Xu Yinian coughed first, and then pressed the answer button in the corridor: "Hello?"

"Are you busy?" The voice coming from the ‌ end hit my ears, and it had a ‌ low tone. When I heard the voice from the ‌‌ side, the chirping birds seemed to have become far away.

Xu Yinian breathed lightly.

"What happened at the academy?"

‌Bian did not answer directly: "Did you pass the graduation examination?"

"It should be over. I think the principal and the master were having a good chat."

"Congratulations." Yu Huai congratulated, "I forgot to tell you before that Xie Qihan wanted to have a drink with you. I heard that you kept talking about it after you left the free port...it was so noisy."

Xu Yinian still remembered that Xie Qihan did not forget to leave his name before he was put on the stretcher, but he did not expect that Huang Ling really planned to ask him for a drink.

"Are you free? If not, I'll ask you to calm down."

At the same time.

Xie Qihan listened to Yu Huai's nonsense, and said with deep eyes to Nan Zhi: "I feel that the boss is not happy, and he has done whatever it takes to make an appointment. I don't even know when I have said this to myself.

...No way? Are all the recent rumors true?"

A few minutes ago, Yu Huai suddenly asked if he wanted to see a human boy wearing a mask in the Oak Mountain Arena. He had not been heard from since the war. It was rare to meet someone who was so compatible.

Of course humans would be happy to thank Qihan for a moment. But he didn’t expect Yu Huai to take out his mobile phone and make up a story in the next second.

"I don't know if it's true or not." Nan Zhi looked at Yu Huai thoughtfully, and then smiled, "But it's your honor for the boss to use your name."

"..."

Xu Yinian unconsciously held the phone tightly and leaned his back against the cold wall.

If you were drinking, Yu Huai might be there too.

"No, I..." Xu Yinian's voice went from low to high, and finally his mind became hot, "Yes! I'm free!"

The monster on the phone seemed to be smiling, and reported the location: "I'm here too, don't you mind?"

Xu Yinian answered, confirmed the time and hung up the phone in a daze.

He walked all the way back to the principal's office. Just as he was about to touch the doorknob, the door opened from the inside. The young man who walked out lowered his eyes slightly and made eye contact.

"Master," Xu Yinian came back to his senses, "have you finished talking?"

"We're done talking. Go back and write a mission report. If you have any questions, you can ask Chen Ran." Tang Fei explained, "Considering that you directly stopped the blood sacrifice, you gave me a very high score in the end. Congratulations.

Already."

"Thank you, master!" Xu Yinian opened his eyes wide in surprise. Tang Fei asked: "Whose call just now? You seem to be in a very good mood."

‌At this time, I realized that the corners of my mouth had always been turned up.

Xu Yinian hesitated for a few seconds: "Xia Ziheng, you asked me to have dinner on the weekend, and also called a few other friends."

This is not entirely a lie. To celebrate the successful passing of the graduation examination of the whole group, Xia Ziheng did clamor to get together a few days ago.

Tang Fei nodded.

"Master, are you free tonight? My parents want to invite you to dinner..." Xu Yinian talked while walking side by side with him.

The agreed location is on a magnificent cruise ship.

This giant ship, about seven stories high, was born hundreds of years ago and was originally used only by the nobles at that time. It encountered a shipwreck during its trip, and almost no one on board survived. A few years ago, a psychic who was good at

The witch clan bought the entire cruise ship and recalled the ghosts who died in the shipwreck to the world. The ghosts in the first class cabin maintained their appearance in the beautiful clothes and temples in life, and gathered in the banquet hall every night to sing and dance; the ghost captain was at the helm, and surrounded by ghosts.

Freeport sailed slowly. A clever wizard used this gimmick to open a veritable ghost bar, which gradually became one of the most popular entertainment venues in Freeport.

When Xu Yinian boarded the ship, several ghosts were waxing the deck.

The ghosts moved very carefully and spoke in a language they couldn't understand. Xu Yinian glanced at them a few more times, and the ghost waiter who was responsible for leading them nodded and said: "Welcome aboard.

gentlemen."

Xu Yinian looked surprised.

Unlike Hua Hengjing’s spirit body, the ghost in front of him was light blue. Probably because he was used to being looked at by guests, the ghost waiter was not affected at all: "Your friend is already waiting for you. ‌On the sixth floor

Deck No. 11, do you need me to take you there?"

Xu Yinian nodded and followed the waiter. The female ghost in a dress ran past ‌ with her skirt in hand, and her companions chased after her. The two suddenly turned their heads to look at ‌ and saw the feather fans in their hands.

He covered half of his face and spoke in a language he couldn't understand.

The ghost waiter translated: "They are praising you for your outstanding appearance."

One of the female ghosts put down her fan and said to Xu Yinian with a smile.

"She asked if you would be interested in spending a night with her." The ghost waiter reminded, "To date a ghost, you also have to step into the world after death."

"...No, I haven't lived enough." Xu Yinian clasped the female ghost's hands together, "Thank you, we are not suitable."

The decoration inside the cruise ship has completely restored its former appearance. The lobby on the sixth floor is mainly based on platinum gold and sea blue. The marble floor is shiny, the reliefs on the tables and chairs are retro and exquisite, and every position is filled with monsters.

The singer standing on the stage is also a female ghost. Her voice is charming and lazy, and she sings blues leisurely.

"Hi! Over here." Looking at Xu Yinian, Xie Qihan waved his hand.

The tall Huang Ling sat back on the sofa. His eyes were golden in color, and half of his face was covered with demonic patterns of the same color. Xu Yinian sat down in front of him. Just like in the Oak Mountain Arena before, Xu Yinian

I am also wearing a mask today. However, in order to facilitate drinking, the mask only covers the upper half of my face, exposing my beautiful lower jaw.

"Why are you still wearing a mask?" Xie Qihan was confused.

"I'm afraid I'll scare you if I look ugly."

Xie Qihan obviously didn't want to reveal his identity, so he didn't ask further: "What do you call me? My name is Xie Qihan, you know, right?"

Xu Yinian casually made up a pseudonym for himself: "My name is Xu Yi."

‌ When he sat down, he glanced around and Xie Qihan understood: "The boss has something to do at the moment, so I'll be here later."

Yu Huai was recently investigating a type of drug circulating on the black market. When he got some information, he couldn't get rid of it. He specifically told him to drink slowly, as the person who asked for it was a poor drinker.

With this layer of foreshadowing, Xie Qihan spent a little more thought when ordering wine, and gestured with his eyes to the sparkling wine placed in front of Xu Yinian: "This, you try it, it should be more suitable."

The boy took a sip as instructed, and sweet bubbles exploded on the tip of his tongue one after another.

"Like lemonade, so sweet." I couldn't help but say.

Of course, Xie Qihan said silently, this is basically a drink.

"Put more ice." He said as he drank all the wine in his glass. After a glass of wine, Xie Qihan said in a brisk tone, "You graduated from the college this year? That's amazing. It's been a long time."

People beat me in the arena."

"You're not bad either." Xu Yinian rarely praised others, "Are all the people from your boneyard so fierce?"

"Haha, it's not bad. I can do it because of the boss's credit."

Hearing someone's name, Xu Yinian rubbed his face with his fingers and asked casually, "I heard that the boneyard is easy to enter and difficult to get out of. How did you leave from ‌?"

"Of course it depends on you. The bone burial ground is divided into four areas. The leader of each area has a teleportation bead in his hand. If you destroy the spell bead, you can get out." Xie Qihan recalled, "But this thing is very rare.

, the leaders of the four districts all cherished him as if they were eyes. When Yu Huai killed the leader of the North District, the other three districts all regarded him as a curse bead, and the one from the North District just beat gongs and drums to send him off.

‌I went out, but as soon as I got the spell bead, I threw it to a Ye Yong next to me, and ‌ the guy’s face broke out in laughter.”

"‌Didn't I throw it to you?"
