“Master, there is a strong presence of cards here, and the compass seems to be reacting!”

    Li Xiaolang looked at the arrows that subtly appeared on the compass under the spell, and his face instantly showed signs of excitement.

    Though he was somewhat prematurely mature, he was still a child at heart. Naturally, he was overjoyed upon confirming that he had found the legendary cards of Kuro, especially in the presence of the elder.

    “Then let's take a look then.”

    George thought for a moment and said.

    His presence must have caused some changes to the original plot, such as them seemingly arriving here half a day earlier than the original script.

    So in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, he felt that it would be best to start off following Li Xiaolang.

    Don't let it happen that he really fights with Sakura for the Kuro card, that would be a big problem.

    And he was indeed curious about the Kuro card.

    The two left the villa and kept jumping from rooftop to rooftop, running in the direction that the compass was pointing towards.

    The Li family not only practices Daoist magic, but also has specialized martial arts training. They are not fragile mages, so they can jump forward on the rooftops without relying on any Daoist arts, just like a martial arts master.

    If Li Qingshan didn't neglect his practice, he wouldn't have ended up looking as potbellied as he does during the day.

    “It's in that art gallery!”

    An old and a young man came to a higher building in the center of the town. Li Xiaolang, following the guidance of the compass, quickly confirmed the general area where the Kuro cards were located.

    George heard the mention of the art gallery and traced back his memories from his previous life. He knew that the Kuro card that appeared this time should be named “Qing”.

    This is also an interesting Kuro card, which not only can prevent people around from making sounds, but also can forcefully transfer those who make sounds to a distance away. It can be said to have dual effects.

    It's rumored that Kurogane invented this particular Kuro card specifically because he disliked Kikou's chattering, and thus he came up with it on a whim.

    In fact, during his studies in the Demon Tail, Kurogane also had magic with silencing effects in his text magic.

    However, text magic has a disadvantage, which is that the magic effect will appear in the form of text. Once the text is destroyed, the effect will also disappear.

    In the Harry Potter magical system, there are also spells that can make a person unable to speak, but these are only for individuals.

    As for their effects, none of them have the same range and power as this “Silent” card.

    “Xiaolang, in order to capture the Kuro cards, you must rely on your own strength. If you don't, the Kuro cards won't be convinced and you won't be able to use them.”

    So, I can't help you much.

    “Elder, I know. My mother has already told me. You can watch from the side and I will capture the Kuro cards with my own abilities.”

    Li Xiaolang drew his sword, took out a stack of symbols, and his face was full of confidence.

    At this moment, a pink recreational vehicle slowly stopped near the main gate of the art gallery. Two little girls got out of the recreational vehicle and tiptoed into the art gallery.

    One of the little girls was wearing a peculiar tight-fitting thief suit with devilish little wings, holding a bird-headed staff, with a yellow little doll perched on her shoulder.

    The other little girl was wearing a pink dress and holding a small camera that she kept filming the first girl.

    “Sakura, Chibiusa, and Tomoyo.”

    George guessed the identities of the two girls and the creature at a glance, but he didn't speak out.

    Li Xiaolang furrowed his brow:

    “Who are they, and I also feel that the guy has the aura of Kuro cards.”

    By controlling the compass again, he found that the needle of the compass had shifted, sometimes pointing to the exhibition room of the art gallery, and sometimes to the girl below with the bird-headed staff.

    Li Xiaolang put away the compass and jumped directly in front of Sakura and Tomoyo, blocking them.

    George, seeing the situation, also followed and landed beside them.

    "Aa!"

    Seeing Li Xiaolang and George, who landed from the sky wearing Daoist robes and holding swords, Sakura and Tomoyo were immediately scared.

    "Li Xiaolang of the Li family, who are you and why do you have Kuro cards?"

    "The Li family, are they distant relatives of the Kuro family?"

    Chibiusa spread her wings and flew up from Sakura's shoulder.

    “What is this weird-looking creature?”

    Seeing the toy on Sakura's shoulder suddenly move and speak, Xiaolang immediately tensed and put his sword horizontally in front of him, ready to recite incantations at any moment.

    While Chibiusa heard Xiaolang's words, she angrily roared loudly:

    “You little brat, what do you mean by saying I'm a weird-looking creature? I, the Grand Lord, am the Sealing Saint Beast Korobulos, symbolizing the sun!”

    “What? You are the strongest guardian beast, Korubeshi, who claims to have golden eyes!”

    Xiaolang retracted his sword, pointing at Chibiusa with a look of disillusionment.

    “How could it just be a toy?”

    His words clearly hit Chibiusa's sore spot, and she opened her mouth and bit down on Xiaolang's finger. Xiaolang shook it for half a day before it fell off.

    “I only lost the magic of Earth and Fire, and I turned into this form.

    Once Sakura collects the Earth card and the Fire card, I will regain my strength, you little imp, don't look down on me!"

    “She, let her collect the Kuro cards, are you sure you're not mistaken? She's just an ordinary person, right?"

    Li Xiaolang sized up Sakura up and down:

    “How long have you been collecting Kuro cards? How many have you collected so far?”

    “Almost two months, I've found a total of eight cards so far.”

    Sakura said hesitantly.

    Xiaolang furrowed his brow:

    “Eight cards in two months, it seems like you have no abilities. Hand over all the Kuro cards you have collected, starting from today, I will take over the task of collecting Kuro cards.”

    Kurogane has half of the bloodline from my Li family, so his Kuro cards naturally belong to me to collect.

    Chibiusa?

    Sakura looked helplessly at Chibiusa.

    Sakura felt that what Xiaolang said made sense, but after two months of being together, she had grown attached to Chibiusa and to the Kuro cards she had collected one by one, which bore her name.

    Chibiusa, flying directly to Sakura's shoulder, pointed to Xiaolang with a raised hand and shouted loudly:

    “Sakura is the magic user I chose, and she has unlocked the seal of the Kuro cards. Even though she is not mature enough now, but in the future, she will definitely collect all the Kuro cards. It does not need you this little brat to take charge!”

    “Let's have a contest then, and whoever wins gets the right to collect and inherit the Kuro cards!”

    Xiaolang attached the symbols to his sword and took an attacking posture.

    Over there, Sakura held the bird-headed staff, her face full of confusion. How could they fight now? She doesn't know how to fight!

    At this moment, George reached out and placed a hand on Xiaolang's shoulder, finally speaking up:

    “Xiaolang, there's no need to challenge a girl you just met to fight.”

    The issue of who should collect the Kuro cards can be put aside for now, there is still one more Kuro card to deal with, let's subdue that one first.

    He pointed towards the "Silent" card in the exhibition hall.

    He felt that if he didn't intervene now and let things continue to develop, when they did fight, it would truly be “a temporary joy to torment one's spouse, but a terrible consequence to follow”.
