"..."

"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.
