Chapter 321 Qingden vs twin female ninjas! [Leopard update 9200]

 "Lord Niou."

While Otsuki and his wife were still surrounded by an extremely depressing atmosphere, Kōnosuke Kitahara turned to Ainoto and said:

"Otsuki Changji has been brought here, with no missing arms or legs."

Qing Deng nodded:

"Thank you for your understanding and generosity."

Kithara Konosuke shrugged.

"You're welcome. I just kept my promise."

Speaking of this, Kithara Konosuke's voice suddenly stopped.

He suddenly seemed to have remembered something, and with a long look that seemed to contain thousands of words, he looked at Qingdeng from head to toe several times.

Aoto noticed Kitahara Konosuke's gaze and was about to ask what Kitahara Konosuke was looking at——

"Nioh-sama, you are very handsome."

"……ha?"

Aoto looked at Kōnosuke Kitahara who suddenly made such violent remarks with a confused look on his face.

Konosuke Kitahara ignored Aoto's surprised expression and continued to speak in an elusive tone:

"Given time... I will definitely grow into a good-looking face that exudes awe-inspiring righteousness."

Qingdeng's facial features and appearance are indeed good. Although he is not a Pan An figure, he is not a popular face that cannot be found in the crowd.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for Qingdeng to be praised for his good looks.

Qingto was only curious as to why Kitahara Konosuke would praise him for his handsomeness without any prior foreshadowing...

And the tone and expression are so affectionate...

--Could it be that……?!

A bad suspicion emerged in Qingdeng's mind.

In this era, Taoism is the favorite of many people - this thought flashed across Qingdeng's mind.

Instantly, Qingden felt his lower body tighten.

"Uh...haha, thank you for the compliment..."

Qingdeng, who had an extremely unnatural expression, laughed dryly and said haha.

After complimenting Ban Qingden's appearance unexpectedly, Konosuke Kitahara didn't say any more weird things.

Otsuki Tsuneji had been rescued, and Qingden and others had no reason to stay in Renwu anymore, so they resigned.

Kitahara Konosuke personally sent Aonto and his party away.

During the whole process of being sent off by Kitahara Konosuke in person, Aoto's mood had always been uneasy.

He was afraid that Konosuke Kitahara would make some violent remarks again, or ask him, "Nioh-sama, do you want to have supper with me later?"

"Going out to enjoy the snow" and other issues.

Fortunately, none of these situations happened.

Qingdeng and his party left Ren's house calmly, walked away, and disappeared into the night.





Otsuki Tsuneji returned to Otsuki Minoru completely - at this point, Qingnog had successfully fulfilled his promise to Otsuki Minoru.

The debt with Otsuki Minoru's father, Miyagawa Shunzou... is cleared from now on, and no one owes anyone any more.

Although theoretically speaking, after leaving Renya, Qingnobo no longer needs to have regular meetings about Otsuki Minoru's life and death, and can just slap his ass and leave, but Qingnobo still cannot do such cruel and ruthless things.

Although the "radical anti-barbarian movement" in Edo has subsided a lot after the anti-barbarian group was destroyed, and the security situation in Edo has improved a lot, it is still far from safe enough to allow a woman who does not understand martial arts and an uninjured person to

A more mature man, strutting around in the streets late at night.

With the mentality of "sending Buddha to the West", Qingdeng decided to give Oyue and his wife a ride back to the hotel where they were staying.

On the way back to the hotel, whether it was Otsutsuki or Otsuki, no one said a word, and the silence was terrifying.

The couple stopped chatting and didn't even look at each other.

Otsuki Tsuneji's head was buried low, and the expression on his face was dominated by strong shame and embarrassment.

Otsuki Minoru's head was also lowered. Her eyes were always staring at the ground in front of her toes. Her expressionless look made it difficult to understand what she was thinking.

It is difficult for an upright official to resolve family matters, especially such disputes between husband and wife.

Therefore, Qingdeng kept silent in a very sensible way and allowed the atmosphere surrounding them to remain silent.

After spending nearly 30 minutes, the group finally arrived safely at the hotel where Otsuki and his wife lived.

"Tangerine-kun..."

Otsuki Minoru turned around and said softly to Qingteng in a very lethargic tone:

"Tonight... thank you very much..."

Qingdeng didn't say anything more, he just nodded slowly and said "hmm".

Otsuki Changchi, who was on the side, interjected:

"Your Majesty, your great kindness! I will never forget it!"

Otsuki Tsuneji's expression was extremely sincere and his attitude was extremely humble.

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately bent down and wanted to kneel to the ground.

Otsuki Tsuneji has still not recovered from the shock of "Am I rescued?" and the ecstasy of "I am rescued!"

I recall that more than 3 months ago, he was still a high-spirited young rich man.

Looking at now... I have to say, fate is really a magical existence.

Feng shui takes turns - this saying from the ancients is really wonderful.

It can also be seen from this how miserable Otsutsuki's life was during the period when he was kidnapped by Kitahara Konosuke.

Ayoto had no doubts about Yakuza's torture methods and the cruelty of Kitahara Konosuke, who could say such terrifying words as "the bottom of Edo Bay" in a calm and ordinary conversational tone.

Otsuki Changji was able to regain his freedom with his limbs intact and his mind intact... He was really lucky.

Qingden quickly stretched out his arms and supported Otsuki Changci's body before his knees hit the ground.

"Don't thank me."

Qingdeng said coldly.

"If you want to thank me, just thank your wife. The person who really saved you is Miss Oyue, not me."

What Qingdeng said is absolutely true.

Not being modest, not being polite.

If Otsuki Minoru hadn't desperately come to him to ask for help, Seto would not have bothered to care about Otsuki Tsuneji's life and death.

Otsuki Changchi heard this and was stunned for a moment. Then he turned his head and looked at Otsuki Minoru beside him.

The moment his eyes touched Otsuki Minori's pretty face, he immediately looked back as if he had been stabbed by the intense rays of the sun.

At the same time, that shameful emotion filled his entire face again.

Otsuki never even glanced at Otsuki Minoru for many times.

How this couple will deal with their emotional problems in the future - Qingdeng has nothing to do with this, and he doesn't want to.

He had returned the two of them to the hotel smoothly and had done everything they needed to do. The rest of the journey was left to the couple who had gone through ups and downs on their own. Qingdeng had no interest or obligation to interfere or intervene.

"Miss Oyue, Mr. Oyue, please take care of yourself. It's late at night. You must rest early. I'll take my leave first."

Qingden paused and added:

"Goodbye by fate."

Qingdeng, who specifically used this kind of phrasing, bowed slightly to the couple facing him, then turned and left without any hesitation.

Sanako followed Qingden's left and right with small steps.

Otsuki Minoru, who was standing blankly outside the hotel door, cast a straight, blank glance at Qingto who was walking away a little bit.

Qingdeng's figure disappeared into the night, and she did not look back. She continued to stare directly in the direction where Qingdeng left. Her eyes were dim and her emotions were complicated and difficult to describe.

"Uh... Ash..."

Next to him, Otsuki Changji spoke.

He took a deep breath, raised his spirits and spoke carefully to Otsuki Minoru.

"Outside, it's cold outside, let's go inside quickly...?"

"..."

Otsuki Minoru turned her expressionless face to face Otsuki Tsuneji - this was the first time she had looked at Otsuki Tsuneji since she left Renya.

Looking at her husband's dirty, haggard face... Qingdeng's figure suddenly flashed across his eyes.

At this time, Otsuki Minoru suddenly recalled the thought that suddenly appeared in her mind this morning and then took root in her heart:

(If I had chosen Tachibana-kun instead of Tsuneji...then would I have lived a far superior life than I do now?)





The low temperature filled the streets with a light blue mist filled with cold air.

It is already 22 o'clock in the evening.

At this point in time, Japan's largest city has entered a deep sleep.

Everything around him was completely silent. Apart from the occasional sound of wind and the footsteps of himself and Sanako, who was walking side by side with him, Qingden couldn't hear any sound.

When the two of them reached an intersection, Sanako stopped and turned to look at the east intersection in confusion.

"Ji Jun, you've gone too far. The trial defense hall is in this direction."

Qingden stopped, smiled slightly, and pointed in the direction he was facing.

"But the Little Chiba Sword Hall is in this direction. The current security situation in Edo has not yet reached the point where people do not pick up lost objects on the road. Miss Sanako, let me give you a ride."

"Don't underestimate me!"

Hearing what Qingden said, Sanazi had a strong temper, especially Sanazi, who didn't want to be seen as a weak woman. She immediately frowned, with an "unhappy" look on her face.

"I can protect myself and don't need your escort."

Facing Sanako's displeased, needle-like gaze, Qingto seemed to have expected Sanako's reaction, and said slowly and softly:

"Then let me put it another way - the snow scene in Edo is beautiful tonight. I want to walk in the snow with you, is that okay?"

"Eh?"

The displeasure on Sanako's pretty face dissipated instantly.

She wandered her eyes at a loss and glanced around, as if checking to see if there were any outsiders around. She folded her hands in front of her and twisted them together nervously.

After scanning around him to make sure that no third party heard Qingteng's words, Sanako raised his eyes as if suppressing his embarrassment and glared at Qingteng.

Her look seemed to be asking Qingdeng: What are you talking about in broad daylight?

Qingto pretended not to understand the meaning of Sanako's eyes. He didn't wait for Sanako's reply, leisurely stood up again, and walked slowly towards the direction of the Little Chiba Sword Hall.

Seeing that Qingteng was so self-assertive, Sanazi looked at Qingteng's retreating back with hesitation, then lowered his head and looked at his small toes.

After a little more than 5 seconds passed like this, she took a deep breath and chased Qingdeng.

While following Qingdeng, she raised her hands that were cold from the cold wind and put them against her slightly heated cheeks to physically cool down her face.

Qingdeng felt a bright aura chasing him from behind.

This breath stood beside him on his right side without saying a word, standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

Qingdeng turned to look at the beauty beside him.

The face of "the most beautiful woman in Edo" is within reach, so close that one can count every eyelash.

Sanako felt Qingteng's gaze, but she seemed to be angry, deliberately not looking at Qingteng, and stared straight ahead with her beautiful eyes.

Qingto felt that Sanako's behavior was inexplicably cute, and couldn't help but laugh.

There was no weird reason why he suddenly expressed his strong intention to send Sanako home. He just wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to be alone with Sanako tonight and spend as much time as possible with Sanako.

Stay a little longer.

Although he often visited the Little Chiba Sword Hall on weekdays, there were really not many opportunities to be alone with Sanako.

Qingteng retracted his gaze from studying Sanako's pretty face, looked at the distant sky, and thought about topics that he could discuss with Sanako now.

But who would have expected that Sanako would be the first to start the conversation.

"Ji Jun, you made me lose face today."

"Um?"

Qingdeng looked puzzled.

"You've been embarrassed? What do you mean?"

"Since you know archery, you should have told me earlier!"

Speaking of this, Sanako seemed to be unable to suppress his anger. He turned his head and looked at Qingden with a resentful look.

"I actually arrogantly introduced you to the skills of using a bow...it's really...it's really..."

Sanako was so stimulated by the feeling of shame that she was at a loss for words, her face turned red and her breathing became heavy.

Recalling the scenes tonight when he carefully taught Qingto how to use a bow... Sanako wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it immediately.

After Qingdeng heard this, he laughed a few times with an unnatural expression.

After a moment, Sanazi, who had adjusted his emotions and demeanor, asked seriously:

"Tachibana-kun, when did you start learning archery?"

Naturally, Sanako also knew that with a family background like Qingto's, it was unlikely that he would be exposed to archery from a young age, so he asked this question.

She was as curious as Kithara Konosuke as to why Aoto possessed such superb archery skills.

"Well... well... Miss Sanako, I'm sorry, it's not convenient for me to say this. I will explain it to you slowly when I have the chance."

The existence of the new Yutingban needs to be kept absolutely confidential.

Moreover... Qingto felt that even if he told the truth, Sanako wouldn't believe him.

My bow skills were taught by His Highness Tianzhangin! That’s right, it’s the Grand Imperial Palace: Tianzhangin Atsuhime!

Qingden felt that after he said these words, Sanako would be stunned for a moment, and then look at him with eyes as if he had seen something bad.

If the listener were replaced by the more emotional and sensitive Mai Kinoshita... then she would not only cast a strange look at Aoto like Sanako, but she would also say with a sad face:

"Tachibana-kun, I'm sorry, it's all because Miss Chiba and I refused to marry you at the same time, which made you crazy about women..."

Sanako comes from a noble family, is well-educated and elegant, and is a considerate and good girl.

Seeing that Qingdeng remained silent, she did not press further.

After taking a deep look at Qingdeng, she said:

"...Okay, since it's not convenient for you to disclose the details now, then just leave it to me later when you have the opportunity."

The topic of archery ended here - not long after, the two of them started chatting about other things.

The person who started the conversation this time was still Sanako.

"Tachibana-kun, Miss Otsuki's father and your father are good friends, right?"

"Huh? Yes, what's wrong?"

"Nothing... I just suddenly realized: Although I have known you for a long time, I don't know anything about your family situation or your past. So..."

When Sanako said this, he stopped speaking and bit his lower lip lightly with his upper teeth.

After a moment of hesitation on her face, she raised her beautiful eyes, looked directly into Qingdeng's eyes, and spoke loudly and forcefully:

"I want to hear your own words about your past."

With all the events that happened today, Sanako suddenly realized that he didn't understand a lot about Qingden.

I didn’t know that Qingteng knew archery; I didn’t know that Qingteng actually had a childhood sweetheart; I didn’t know that Qingteng and Otsuki Minoru had a grudge and resentment...

These "don't knows" one after another turned into a wonderful "frustration" - this indescribable frustration was like a thorn piercing Sanako's heart.

Does this thorn pierce deeply and hurt?

That's not the case.

But it's hard to ignore the existence of this thorn.

It is like a handful of flowers blooming in the open green field. Even if you want to pretend to be blind, you can't stop it from breaking into your eyes again and again.

Sanako couldn't help but wonder: Miss Kinoshita...this girl in red who always dislikes her, does she know these past events of Tachibana-kun? Am I the only one who knows nothing about Qingnobo's past?

Sanako is increasingly confused about her feelings for Qingto.

Tachibana-kun is just a very close friend to me - Sanako has always told herself this.

But tonight, at this moment, she had a very strong urge to know more about this "good friend".

This impulse is like a flood that breaks a bank and becomes out of control once it appears.

Eventually, this impulse turned into an irresistible force of action, driving her lips and tongue to ask such straightforward questions to Qingdeng.

However, as soon as the words were spoken, Sanako regretted them.

Influenced by Yamato Nadeshiko’s education that she learned from childhood, Sanako has always maintained a conservative and prudent attitude towards emotional issues.

He didn't even cover it up, didn't even use any euphemisms, he just said this kind of words in such a bold and bold manner, which in the current era, can definitely be called ambiguous words.

As a result, as soon as Sanako, who was deeply embarrassed, uttered the words "I want to know more about you", he immediately looked away from Qingden in confusion.

Looking at the white snow in front of my toes, I didn't dare to look at Qingdeng again.

Although the surrounding environment where he was carving was very dim, the shy pink that was slowly climbing up Sanako's cheeks was still clearly visible.

Qingdeng raised his eyebrows in surprise and was shocked.

Doesn't he understand Sanako's character yet?

Sanako is a more reserved person than the introverted Mai Kinoshita.

Such a girl actually asked such a bold question...

It's really surprising.

Since Sanako is so courageous, it would be a bit too unkind for Qingto not to respond to the other person as soon as possible and to help him get out of his embarrassing emotions as soon as possible.

"My past... Hahaha, this topic is not too interesting."

Qingden paused for a moment, digging into the memory of "Original Orange Qingden" and concentrating on where to start.

"My mother passed away not long after I was born, so I don't have many memories of my mother."

"As for my father... his name is Tachibana Takayuki. The 'Long' in Xinglong, the 'Zhi' in Zhihuo. The same name as the town of Kitaban."

"Well...if you ask me to elaborate on what kind of person my father is, I really don't know what to say for a while."

"To put it simply...he is a very ordinary, ordinary person."

"He has ordinary looks, ordinary abilities, and ordinary political achievements. He has been working in the position designated by Beiban for nearly twenty years."

"In these twenty years, he has neither made any big mistakes, nor has he accomplished any great achievements."

"Aside from his honest and kind personality and his good popularity, my father seems to have no merits worthy of praise."

"Logically speaking, a person like my father, who is content and follows the rules, should live his life plainly but peacefully."

"As a result... I don't know whether he made bad friends at some time or for some other reason. He suddenly became addicted to gambling. He went to the casino owned by the Qingshui clan every day to have fun."

"No matter how lucky a person is, it is impossible to win money forever. Therefore, as long as you are addicted to gambling, you will definitely lose everything in the end."

"It didn't take long for my father to lose all the family's money and be saddled with huge debts."

"Not long after my family became destitute due to my father's excessive gambling, my father fell ill and passed away."

"There is nothing to elaborate on what happens next."

"Although after my father became addicted to gambling, many people who had a very good relationship with his father became alienated from him."

"But there are still a group of people who will never abandon their father from beginning to end."

"For example, my father's old colleagues: Mr. Arima, Mr. Inotani, and Mr. Ushiyama."

"Another example is Otsuki Minoru's father: Mr. Toshizo Miyagawa."

"Not only did they help organize my father's funeral, they also helped me take over my father's job later and helped me successfully seize my father's official position."

"It can be said that I would not be able to be where I am today without the help of these old friends of my father."

"Without the help of these seniors, I might have to make a living by doing small jobs."

Sanako played the role of a "listener" very well.

She listened quietly the whole time without saying a word.

When she heard that Tachibana Takayuki was addicted to gambling, which caused the family to bear huge debts, and later passed away due to illness, she raised her head and beautiful eyes and looked at Qingden.

His face and eyes were filled with shock and regret.

"Then... have you paid off all the debts owed by your father?"

"I paid it off...ah, no. I shouldn't say 'paid off'. It should be said that I was exempted from it by the Yakuza of the Qingshui clan."

"Exempted?"

"Well. After I became famous, the Qingshui clan probably wanted to win over and please me. With a stroke of a pen, they canceled all the gambling debts left by my father."

"That's it...that's good."

"All in all, my past is basically like this. There is nothing worth mentioning."

Qingden smiled and shrugged.

"...um...uh...uh..."

Sanako, who had always behaved in a dignified manner, looked like he was hesitating to speak and hesitated.

Qingdeng turned his head when he heard the sound and looked towards her face.

I saw that Sanako was reluctant to look at Qingden.

Even if their eyes met for an instant, they would move away reluctantly.

After a long while, Sanazi said vaguely:

"That... Mr. Orange... you... you... ah, please forgive me... that..."

Qingden heard it immediately: Sanako wanted to comfort him and bring comfort to him who had such a tragic past.

"Miss Sanako, thank you for your concern."

Qingdeng smiled.

"These are things that happened a long time ago, and I don't care about them long ago."

After finishing speaking, Qingden added in his mind:

——Tachibana-kun is not my real father after all...

Takayuki Tachibana is the father of "Original Tachibana Aoden", not Aoden's.

When retrieving the memory of "Original Tachibana Aoden", Aoden felt like he was watching a movie.

He will be touched by the plot of the movie, but that's it. He won't fall in love with a character in the movie or hate it so much that he will gnash his teeth just because he watched a movie.

Therefore, Qingnobo really didn't have any deep feelings about Tachibana Takayuki's death.

Hearing Qingden say this, Sanako's expression improved a little.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, gusts of cold wind mixed with scattered snowflakes hit Qingto and Sanako head-on.

The coldness ran along Sanako's collar to the inside of her clothes, and then passed through two large and round hemispherical arcs and rolled into her belly.

Sanako, who was afraid of the cold, immediately shivered, raised her arms, covered her stomach with one hand, and blocked her chest with the other.

Seeing this, Qingto pursed his lips thoughtfully, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he took half a step in the direction of Sanako, stood closer to Sanako, and then untied his neck.

The scarf he wore was only half untied - half remained on his neck, and the other half was gently wrapped around Sanako's swan neck.

Suddenly, Sanako's beautiful eyes widened. She looked dumbfounded at the black scarf around her neck that connected her to Qingden.

"Tachibana-kun, what are you doing?"

Sanako pretended to be calm.

"This way, the wind will not get inside the clothes."

Qingdeng said with a smile.

"This...this...it would be bad if someone saw this..."

While Sanako raised his eyes and glanced around worriedly, he raised his hand to grab the scarf and tried to take it off.

Qingden rushed to take off the scarf and said with a smile:

"Just think of this as a thank you gift for accompanying me tonight to rescue Otsuki Tsuneji."

Hearing this, Sanazi couldn't help laughing and joked:

"Thank you? Isn't this thank you too simple and casual?"

"Hahaha, no matter what, just accept this little gift from me with peace of mind."

"..."

Sanako was still hesitating, but her reach for the scarf slowed down a lot.

Qingden launched a new "offensive" at the right moment...or in other words, gave Sanako a new step that he could take advantage of with peace of mind.

"If you catch a cold or catch a cold, it will affect your swordsmanship practice."

"...There's really nothing I can do against you."

Sanako's pair of jade hands that were originally raised in the air to untie the scarf continued to reach towards her pink neck, grabbing the soft fabric that retained Aintō's body temperature - no longer untying the scarf, but putting the scarf away

Tighter.

"...I won't do it next time."

Sanako's side face looked a little shy when she said this.

As if she didn't want Qingdeng to see her shy expression, she lowered her head and slipped half of her face into the warm scarf.

"..."

"Don't laugh so weirdly!"

Sanako finished speaking in a dissatisfied tone and glared at Qingden fiercely.

What she did did not only have no effect, but also had the opposite effect.

The corners of Qingdeng's mouth extended wider to both sides, and his facial lines became more relaxed.

He just happily immersed himself in this ordinary, but also made him feel very happy time.

"Ah, Miss Sanako, let me tell you some interesting things that I experienced when I first started learning swordsmanship. I think you will be interested."

"Fun fact?"

The two slowly walked away.

The quiet night and the clear mist gently wrap around the two figures who are connected to each other by a delicate scarf.

At this moment, Qingdeng suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart:

The distance between him and Sanako... seemed to be getting closer.

The body is drawn closer.

Hearts and hearts are also drawn closer.





At this moment——

Edo, Renya——

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kitahara. I'm not good at it, so you lost."

As Oishi Kazujiro said, he stretched out his hand and scratched his head.

Although he said "I'm sorry" and had an apology on his face, his acting skills were really poor. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the apology on his face was fake and he was not sincerely apologizing at all.

Kitahara Konosuke glanced at him without sadness and joy, and waved his hand:

"This is not your fault. You have tried your best. It is not shameful to lose to the King of Ni. You can step back and rest."

"yes."

Konosuke Kitahara watched Oishi Kazujiro leave, then leaned back and lay on the soft tatami, staring straight at the brown ceiling without blinking.

His eyes seemed to be looking somewhere in the distance, and I couldn't guess what he was thinking at the moment.

Suddenly, a self-deprecating sneer suddenly sounded in the empty room.

"Heh... Tachibana Takayuki... Tachibana Aoden... these two father and son look so much alike..."

Beiyuan slowly lowered the corners of his mouth that were slightly raised due to the sneer, and the self-deprecating smile turned into a solemn solemnity.

"Not only do the two fathers and sons look alike, they even behave similarly. They both like to stand up for others... Humph... Tachibana Takayuki, you are such a fool. If you had listened to me and stopped in time, you wouldn't have

This is what happened."





Oishi Kazujiro crossed his arms in front of his chest and walked out of the door of Ren's house in a swagger.

The cold wind coming towards him forced him to raise his hands to tighten the skirt of his cotton-padded coat and the scarf around his neck.

When he raised his hand to cover the gap between his clothes and his body, his fingers accidentally touched his chest, touching the part where Qingden's straight thrust had just hit him.

The pain has faded... but the memory of being knocked away still remains vividly in Oishi Kazujiro's mind.

This memory should not fade away for a long time to come.

Oishi Shojiro touched his chest and grinned:

"It's really amazing... I haven't met such a master in a long time. I don't know if I will have a chance to fight Nioh again..."

After muttering to himself like this, Oishi Kazujiro shrugged his shoulders, cheered up, and with a faint smile on his face, stepped forward, his figure gradually disappearing into the embrace of the night.





The first year of Wanyan (1860), December 25th——

Edo, Tsukinomiya Shrine, in a certain house——

Qingden bent his knees, the cat lowered his body, and moved forward slowly against the wall next to him in a movement similar to a half-squat. His head and eyes frequently turned left and right, scanning the surroundings.

I saw Qingdeng at this time, wearing a strange outfit.

The head is covered with a face scarf and a turban, and only a pair of eyes are exposed on the whole face; the clothes on the upper body and lower body are not common kimonos, but close-fitting and neat clothes that do not hinder the movement at all.

From head to toe, all the fabrics are the same color, an inky color that blends in with the dark environment at night.

Dong dong dong dong…!

Qingdeng's eyes suddenly burst out with a frightening light. He turned his head to the right with a force that seemed to break his neck. Although the sound was very subtle, his ears definitely heard it.

:Someone is approaching! On the ceiling!

Snapped!

Qingdeng's eyes were about to move to his right, and before he could even focus his eyes, he heard a muffled "pop" - five steps away from his right, a panel from the ceiling fell.

Along with this board, there were two petite and lovely black figures!

Those who came were none other than Qingdeng's "Master of Yunliu Footwork" and "Master of Yunliu Strange Techniques" - the "Two Sisters"!

The iconic miko costume with white top and red bottom was gone. It was replaced by a dark blue outfit that was exactly the same as the one Aomori was currently wearing.

As soon as the two sisters showed up, they gave Qingdeng a warm greeting gift - they both pulled out the unbladed wakizashi from their waists, and their cute bodies were smaller than Qingdeng's slap.

The next moment my little feet touch the ground...

A cute tiger pounces on food in the palm of your hand!

The two sisters, one on the left and one on the right, rushed towards Qingdeng one after another.

Seeing this, Qingdeng did not hesitate to pull out the only weapon he carried - a wakizashi tied to his left waist.

His wakizashi is the same as the wakizashi used by the "Two Sisters". It has no edge, it is just a large piece of iron.

Soon after he said it, the "second sister" who had arrived in front of Qingdeng was already in front of Qingdeng, and his movements were like flowing water.

call!

call!

2 blasts of wind exploded in no particular order.

The talkative sister Shazhong stabbed Qingdeng in the left wrist with a knife.

Yae, the younger sister with a rough personality, attacked Qingto's right waist.

The two swords are as fast as lightning, carrying a powerful force that cannot be ignored.

Taking a deep breath, he took half a step back with his right leg and used two upward movements - Qingden completed these actions in an instant.

clang!

clang!

In the empty corridor, two unheard sounds of gold and iron echoed in succession.

With the inertia of the slashing, the two sides exchanged positions - and then the three swords clashed again.

Qingdeng and the "two sisters" have always had a good relationship, so how could they fight for no reason?

To sum it up in one sentence - Tianzhang Academy wanted to see how Qingden's cloud-ryu ninjutsu was currently being practiced, so it sent the "two sisters" to test it.
