The car stopped smoothly in front of a small temple. The middle-aged man got out of the car and opened the door respectfully.
It seems very strange to receive guests in a temple, but in the traditional culture of the island country, it is actually a very formal and solemn reception ceremony. Xiao Kaitian understands that he calmly tidied up his suit and followed the middle-aged man casually.
behind the person.
Across the courtyard, the middle-aged man brought Xiao Kaitian to a reception hall. He knelt down, opened the door with both hands, and then kowtowed: "Ruodian, Mr. Xiao is here."
"Hahaha, welcome," a young man wearing a black hakama kimono stood up. It was Shuichi Hojo, the young head of the Hojo family. He smiled like a spring breeze: "Please come in, please come in, Mr. Xiao, just
There’s no need to be so particular.”
There was also a bald old man in the room, also wearing a light gray kimono. When he saw Xiao Kaitian's arrival, he was not as enthusiastic as Shuichi Hojo. He just nodded slightly and remained seated behind the long table, motionless.
Xiao Kaitian's eyes flashed. This old man actually had a combat power of 278. He was the person with the highest combat power he had encountered since he came to this world. It could be seen that he was trying his best to suppress himself, but his unique aura was still invisible.
Spread out in the middle.
"It's interesting." Xiao Kaitian thought in his mind. He walked into the room with a smile and nodded to the two of them. There were two small long tables in the room, filled with wine and food. The one in the middle was Hojo Shuichi's.
, the one opposite the old man is my position.
"Please sit down, please," Hojo Shuichi was very enthusiastic. He stretched out his hand and gestured for Xiao Kaitian to sit down. Then he slowly returned to his seat: "Mr. Xiao has come from afar, I want to toast you first, please."
The drink was sake. Due to the special nature of the scene, there was no maid serving in the room. Xiao Kaitian didn't care. He poured a small glass and drank from the distance.
"Hehehe, this is Longquan Junmai Daiginjo," Hojo Shuichi introduced proudly: "It has a sweet taste and a smooth texture. Mr. Xiao, I'm still used to it."
"It's not bad." The wine is indeed good, but Xiao Kaitian is not used to the taste: "It's just that compared to wine, I'm more used to tea."
"Each country has its own tastes," Hojo Shuichi said, but he was not angry and still smiled: "I am accustomed to drinking the good wines of the Han and Tang dynasties."
"What Ruodian said is true," Xiao Kaitian did not refute: "Then I will have a good taste of this great wine."
"Hahaha, of course, that's natural." Hojo Shuu became happy after a pause.
"If you have good wine, you will feel lonely if you don't have anyone to drink with you." The old man who had been keeping calm suddenly spoke. His voice was unusually cold and sharp, with a metallic harshness, which was very uncomfortable: "Why don't I pay homage to Xiao?"
One drink, sir."
"This is a member of my family. In terms of seniority, I want to call Uncle Shi, Tsuna Hojo." A trace of amusement flashed across Hojo Osamu's eyes, and his eyes flickered between the two of them.
"Okay," Xiao Kaitian did not refuse, he picked up the wine glass in his hand.
"Please!" Tsuna Hojo held the wine glass in both hands and bowed in the direction of Xiao Kaitian.
In an instant, the table in front of Xiao Kaitian shook, and several cracks appeared on the edge of the table.
A burst of Ling Ran's sword energy rushed straight towards Xiao Kaitian, spinning in front of him, but quickly disappeared. Xiao Kaitian's expression did not change, as if he was completely unaware of the existence of the sword energy.
He raised his head and drank the wine.
A trace of caution appeared on Hojo Tsuna's face. His eyes were fixed on Xiao Kaitian, and he slowly drank the wine in his hand.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn, like a balloon that had been inflated to the extreme. At this time, as long as a toothpick was available, it could be punctured immediately.
Hojo Shuichi, who was smiling all the time, straightened his face at this time and looked at the interaction between the two.
"Good wine. Forgive me for being rude. I'll give you another glass of wine, Mr. Xiao."
"good."
The same action as last time, but this time, Hojo Tsuna's movements were slower, and the wine glass was slowly handed out.
The table in front of Xiao Kaitian, the ceramic utensils on the table, and the wine glasses all had large and small cracks in an instant. Even the wallpaper on the wall behind him also had several cracks. A burst of "thunder, thunder, thunder, thunder" sounded in the room.
"The sound.
Xiao Kaitian smiled, drank the wine in his hand, and lit up the bottom of the glass.
All the actions before and after were added up, but it took only a few seconds, but Hojo Shuichi, who was sitting in the middle, actually felt as if he had been there for several hours. A large bead of sweat broke out on the right side of his forehead.
"Mr. Xiao has a really good drinking capacity," Hojo Tsuna lowered his eyes: "This third drink, it seems I'm going to punish myself, Mr. Xiao won't mind."
Xiao Kaitian shook his head, and Hojo Tsuna lowered his head and drank the last of the wine.
After three toasts, the results of the first two were far beyond Tsuna Hojo's expectations, and he immediately gave up the third attack.
After drinking and the game was over, Xiao Kaitian no longer wanted to stay. He turned to Hojo Shuichi: "Wakadian, the purpose of my coming to the island country is because my sister encountered something here. Now that the matter has been resolved, I
I have no plans to stay in the island country for a long time.”
"Cooperating with the Ogiwara family is also a temporary idea. If Wakadon is interested in the future, we might not be able to cooperate."
What Xiao Kaitian said, he believed that his opponent must be very clear about it, so he simply stated his position completely. If the Hojo family still didn't give in, then he wouldn't mind adding another enemy.
"Hehehe, I understand what Mr. Xiao means. From now on, if there is a need for the Hojo family in this area, just ask for help."
"Okay," Xiao Kaitian raised his cup: "I'll say goodbye then."
"please!"
After drinking the last glass, Xiao Kaitian strode away. Hojo Shuichi saw him off and asked absently: "What do you think?"
"The first possibility is unfathomable." Hojo Tsuna sighed, he was telling the truth.
In the first sword attack, he used less than 20% of his strength. The main purpose was to scare, and Xiao Kaitian neutralized it without taking it seriously.
He used 70% of the second sword energy, but Xiao Kaitian still managed to resolve it easily.
This was no reason for him to continue testing.
"I don't know if he is a martial artist. After all, he doesn't have any fluctuations in martial arts," Tsuna Hojo said about his feelings, feeling helpless as he faced an extremely thick wall that his sword could not pierce: "Of course, there are also
One possibility is that this person is indeed a fool, and he carries some kind of defensive secret treasure from the Han and Tang Dynasties, which blocked my sword energy."
"Then which one do you think is the most likely?"
"Don't Wakaden already have an idea in mind?" Hojo Tsuna ignored him and poured the wine to drink.
Hojo Shuichi was not angry. He raised the corners of his mouth and looked at the gloomy sky: "It's going to snow..."
