Chapter 157 Going home for the holidays
Soon after, Kanae arrived at the base. Feng Xiaodao led everyone to rush out to greet her, only to see that behind her were Hui Liya and Kocho Shinobu, who looked like they were going to deal with someone.
"Teacher (brother-in-law)" the two men looked at Feng Xiaodao and called out with a smile.
Feng Xiaodao nodded and immediately turned his head guiltily to Kanae who was staring at him.
"Lord Huazhu, you have worked hard on the journey. Please come in! We have already prepared food for you." Feng Xiaodao said with a charming smile.
"Hmph, I'll settle the score with you later." Kanao glared at him and walked into the house.
"Kanae, why did you come here suddenly? Have you finished the work in the research department?" Feng Xiaodao asked cautiously.
"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong? We've only met a few times in more than a year!!!" Kanae has a good temper, and even when she's angry, she's slow and calm.
"Of course I can come. It's a good opportunity to come out and relax. Maybe I'll have some inspiration when I go back." Feng Xiaodao scratched his head and smiled. "Besides, I haven't had time to go back because I'm busy hunting ghosts!"
Kanae kept staring at Feng Xiaodao's eyes, trying to see something. Eyes are the windows to the soul, but Kanae didn't notice anything abnormal about this guy, and she felt relieved.
"You were the one who told me not to focus too much on work and to learn to combine work and rest. It seems that you haven't set a good example at all!!"
"Oh, I know~" Feng Xiaodao pulled Chanahui's arm and acted coquettishly, "Stay a few more days this time and have a good rest."
"Well...but you have to agree to one condition of mine!" Kanae thought about it and agreed. She had indeed not had a rest for a long time.
Teriya and Shinobu Kocho on the side giggled as they watched the interaction between the two, as if they were seeing a parent scolding a child.
"What conditions?" Feng Xiaodao was a little confused.
"After you relax, you must come back with me to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters!" Kanae said gently but firmly. Although she felt that there was nothing wrong with Feng Xiaodao, it would be better to let him go back for a while just in case.
Feng Xiaodao was unsure why Chanahui insisted on asking him to go back, so he asked tentatively, "But things here cannot be done without me. How about I finish my work before going back?"
"Brother-in-law, stop making excuses. Just follow your sister back without worry. The reason I followed you is of course to take over your job!!" Shinobu Kocho looked like she wouldn't give you any excuses.
"You? Stop joking, you are the weakest among all the pillars, I am worried about you!!" Feng Xiaodao was not polite at all to his future sister-in-law.
"I'm very powerful, okay!" Shinobu Kocho put her hands on her hips, looking very unconvinced, "Look, sister, this guy just doesn't want to go back. He must have some secret!!"
The current Shinobu Kocho is not such a gentle girl. She directly shifted the blame to someone else, making Feng Xiaodao very scared.
"Okay, okay, it's okay for me to go back. Then I'll wait and see." Feng Xiaodao said jokingly with a smile.
"It's settled then." Kanae instantly broke into a charming smile.
Feng Xiaodao nodded helplessly, he knew he couldn't beat Chanae.
After the matter was decided, they ate comfortably and chatted.
"By the way, I asked you to go back this time because I have something important to do!!" said Kanae.
"What could have made our beautiful Lady Huazhu come out in person to inform me? I'd like to hear it!" Feng Xiaodao still hasn't figured out why Kanae came to ask him to go back. He will ask Huiliya about it after dinner.
"You, you really forget everything when you start killing ghosts. There are so many things to do. The girl from Ganlu Temple is about to be promoted to a pillar, but you are not here? She ran away after only a few days of teaching her. Fortunately, this girl is very talented, and the Flame Pillar comes back from time to time to give her guidance.
After that, you will be responsible for the final selection. You won’t forget, your junior fellow apprentice and the Hashibira Inohashira you brought back will also participate. You should also go and give some guidance and encouragement!!”
Kanae scolded unhappily.
"No, how could I forget? I was planning to go back after I finished my work here. There is still some time anyway!" Feng Xiaodao looked like I was denying it.
"Don't lie, brother-in-law. Given your behavior over the past year, would you have gone back if we hadn't stepped in? I don't believe it. You still treat me like a child." Shinobu Kocho is very good at ruining things.
"So many delicious foods can't stop you from eating. It's none of your business!" Feng Xiaodao scolded with a guilty smile.
"Okay, since you're here anyway, just hand over your work honestly and come back with me. The research department also needs your help in reviewing some of the results!" Kanae smiled and persuaded the two people who were arguing.
Feng Xiaodao also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing the purpose of Kanae's visit. He could go back whenever he wanted. There were indeed many things he needed to deal with at the headquarters. There were not many powerful demons at the moment, so the pressure from the Demon Slayer Corps was not too great.
Moreover, he has Shinobu Kocho to take over. Although he says that he looks down on this girl's strength, to be honest, after his training, Shinobu Kocho has become much stronger than the original. She also does not take the wisteria flower poison, but instead focuses more on the coordination of the poison and swordsmanship.
With the cooperation of her sister Kanae and Miss Tamayo, the endless variety of poisons have greatly enhanced her combat power. Even the Twelve Demon Moons will not be able to escape well in her hands.
In the next few days, Feng Xiaodao and Chanahui enjoyed a rare leisure time together. Although there were two followers so they couldn't perfectly enjoy their world of two, having more people did have its advantages.
This day was the day Feng Xiaodao was preparing to leave and go back. Feng Xiaodao was chattering non-stop to Butterfly Shinobu about things to pay attention to.
Although Feng Xiaodao always fools and teases Shinobu Kocho, he still cares about her in his heart and doesn't want anything to happen to her, otherwise Kanae will definitely be very sad.
"Remember, although you are the pillar, you still have to listen to Kuang Jin's advice on many things. Kuang Jin is very thoughtful in many aspects and is not as reckless as you.
"I know, I know." Shinobu Kocho answered perfunctorily. She knew in her heart that Feng Xiaodao was worried about her safety, but it was her first time leading such an elite team and she was still a little excited.
Even though the team is small in number, each of them is a captain of the action team. I also came from the action team, so I naturally understand that these guys are not much worse than the pillars in terms of strength, but they did not become pillars due to various reasons and opportunities.
Feng Xiaodao sighed and continued to nag: "When you encounter a powerful evil ghost, don't fight hard, use your wits. Also, protect yourself, don't fight to the death, only when you are alive can you have the strength to fight."
"Okay, okay, I'm not a child anymore." Shinobu Kocho was a little impatient.
At this time, Chanahui came over and said with a smile: "Okay, Xiaodao, don't worry, she has grown up, and there are some things she needs to experience on her own!"
Feng Xiaodao nodded, looked at Kocho Shinobu, then looked at Chanae, and finally told Kuang Jin: "Kuang Jin, you have to keep an eye on Kocho Shinobu for me. If this girl does something naughty, send me a message in time and I will take care of her!!"
"Don't worry, sir. We are all veterans of the action team and we know everything!" Kuang Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if his snitching had not been discovered.
Feng Xiaodao nodded and then set off with Kanae and Huiliya.
Shinobu Kocho looked at the direction where Feng Xiaodao left, and secretly swore in her heart that she must become a powerful ghost hunter like Feng Xiaodao and protect the people around her.
