Chapter 271 Intention
I've started packing my bags. No, there's no need to pack anything. I can just set off with nothing in my hands.
Gu Sanqiu left Inazuma City openly and even had the leisure to wave to the spy who followed him.
Within Tianling Fengxing, everyone fell silent without exception after learning about Gu Sanqiu's situation.
What is this?
It had only been a short while since they reported the other party's identity information, and first they were disgusted by the society's governor, and then the other party simply left Inazuma Castle?
Then what about the actions and strategies they prepared for Gu Sanqiu? Wouldn’t it be wasted? Wouldn’t the focus of their work in the past few days disappear?
This made the bigwigs, who were used to stability, feel a little bit unacceptable.
"That guy even opened a gym, can't he just stay in Inazuma Castle and not run around?"
A senior executive said with a hint of complaint: "In the wild, our spies don't have the ability of the other side. We are simply unable to track reasonably and effectively."
"He is a warrior. He comes and goes like the wind and does everything according to his heart."
Another said slowly: "This is a true samurai. The so-called dojo and what we call real estate are all things that can be discarded at any time for people like them."
"Forget it, everyone. Since that person has left Inazuma Castle, we don't have to focus on him. There's no need. Wouldn't it be better to spend more time on other work?"
"Long Hai Xuan Ze is currently a person who has not caused any harm. It is not a good idea to provoke him for no reason."
On the other side, the Mulou Tea House.
Opposite Thomas sat a noble girl, who spread out a map and pointed to the location of the Guardian Forest.
"Miss, according to the direction given by that gentleman, we should pass through the Guardian Forest, pass Kamisato House, and head towards Kagemukaiyama."
"Or, if the other party really hides his strength as Miss said, he may not choose the conventional route, but choose to climb Yingxiang Mountain directly."
"There are no outsiders here, just call me Linghua."
Ningbing Duhai Zhenjun Shenli Linghua chuckled and said, "You just returned from that gentleman's gym, and the next day he went in the direction of the Guardian Forest. Is that a samurai's intuition?"
"Ling Hua, that's why I don't agree with revealing my identity and talking to the other party."
Thomas explained: "Long Hai Xuan Ze only needs to think about it for a moment to find out that something is wrong, and then think of where the person who is most likely to be controlling everything is."
"Yes, but what does this have to do with us?"
Shenli Linghua shook her head: "No matter what Lord Longhai Xuanze thinks or does, it has nothing to do with us."
"Thomas, there are some things you don't understand, but in this action, or calculation, our Kamisato family is just a mouthpiece."
"And the choice of you, who is somewhat famous in the Kamisato family and all over Inazuma, was also the candidate designated by the other party. It was not decided by me and my elder brother."
Thomas was shocked. "Specified? Could it be from the Narukami Taisha Shrine..."
"Yes, it is designated."
Kamisato Ayaka nodded: "To outsiders, this is just an ordinary recruitment, a small friction and contact between the Kamisato family representing the Society Bugyo and the Tenryo Bugyo."
"But it's just me, big brother, and now you too. Only the three of us know that contacting the other party is actually their decision, not ours."
"So, if he really sets out to Narukami-taisha, it means that there is something wrong with him?"
“Whether there is a problem or not, we don’t know.”
"These may only be known by the people of Narukami Taisha, and it is very likely that only a small number of people know about them."
Thomas frowned. "A part of the people? What do you mean?"
Kamisato Ayaka put down her folding fan, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"The people who contacted Narujin Taisha were not the shrine staff stationed in Inazuma Castle, but came directly from Kagemukai Mountain."
"I see."
Thomas's expression turned serious. "In that case, it's really not easy for us to intervene in this matter, but we should also maintain the most basic contact with the other party. Is that what you mean ?"
"That's right. Judging from the attitude of Narukami Taisha, even if there is something strange about the other party, it is still an existence that Narukami Taisha values."
Kamisato Ayaka said slowly: "A warrior who returned from the wild? This identity is really strange. He has no relatives and no ties. From the information we have obtained, this person is likely to be very powerful."
Thomas thought of Tiehanhan at the entrance of the gym: "Linghua, that guy is not without concerns. He has subdued the members of the Arawaki faction, which is the gang that used to be composed of young ghosts."
"Oh? Is that so?"
"If that's the case, then some of the information would match up."
Ling Hua opened her folding fan to cover half of her pretty face.
"Not long ago, a fierce battle seemed to have taken place somewhere outside the city. There were traces of rock elements and signs of burning fire on the ground."
"I have also heard of Arata Ichito. If it was him, there is no way he would give up the position of the eldest brother of the Arata faction without saying anything. Given his personality, we would definitely have fought."
"You mean, they were the ones who called it out that time?"
Thomas was stunned.
"But according to our intelligence, only Arotaki Ichito in the Arotaki sect possesses the God's Eye of the rock element. Doesn't that mean Longhai Xuanze possesses a God's Eye of the fire element?"
"This is just one possibility. There is another possibility, which is that the other party has inherited some Yin-Yang magic from the wild."
Kamisato Ayaka explained: "It is said that the Yin-Yang technique passed down from ancient times incorporates some immortal techniques from Liyue. Even without the Eye of God, it can activate the power of elements."
"But judging from the attitude of Narukami Taisha, it is more likely that they have inherited the Yin-Yang technique."
"Legend has it that the inheritance of Yin-Yang magic has been hidden by filth and evil spirits. If you want to obtain the inheritance, apart from talent and strength, the most important thing is to have great willpower to subdue the negative effects brought by those things."
"If you can't take this crucial step, you will just become one of those sea ghosts whose spirits are polluted and possessed by inner demons, and finally live like puppets."
Kamisato Ayaka smiled and said, "If I wasn't running out of time, I would go home right now to see if I could run into her once."
"It's been a long time since I've encountered an opponent who wasn't from a famous family in Kamisato-ryu's swordsmanship."
Thomas asked quickly: "Ling Hua, do you want to fight with him?"
At that time, when Gu Sanqiu said that he was immersed in martial arts, Thomas could have negotiated with the other party by saying "I will have the opportunity to spar with Miss Ling Hua".
But he didn't do that. A subordinate cannot arrange the actions of his master, and he didn't want Kamisato Ayaka and Gu Sanqiu to face off.
He didn't want his friend to take this risk.
If the other party's experience is true, then it is really incredible that they were able to accumulate a large amount of resources from the wild, not be devoured by the wildness, and finally stay awake and fight back into human society.
How terrible it will be when the other party lets go of the restraints in his heart and releases the beast of desire called killing!
