Chapter 29 Learning from each other

Tang Zhihang took photos of the floor. Although it seemed rude, he didn't care so much at this time. Tang Zhihang said to Suichiro Qiuyue, "My head of the family, I still hope you can figure it out that if the robber doesn't catch it, it won't affect us. The lost things are not so precious to us. At least we can't exchange things for money or something. But it's different for you. If you want to restore Akitsuki Naomi's eyes and left arm, you can only rely on the things that were robbed by the robber. In other words, we are like a doctor helping the patient perform surgery - you need to pay for the medical expenses of the surgery yourself to buy medicine, and as doctors, we also need labor expenses for the surgery. I have only one labor fee, that is the swordsmanship of the Qiuyue family. If we don't exchange the swordsmanship of the Qiuyue family, we don't think there is no need to continue the discussion."

Seeing that Tang Zhihang was so aggressive, although he was angry, he did not dare to attack. Qiuyue Sectichiro resisted and said, "Young man... can I give me some time to think? Why don't I stay at Qiuyue's house temporarily tonight? I'll give you an answer tomorrow morning, how about it?"

"Okay..." Tang Zhihang said: "But the head of the family still needs to figure out whether it is the ancestral teaching or the future of a person is more important."

After leaving the room, Akitsuki Jin Nako asked Tang Zhihang: "What did you do just saying those things? I can teach you what you want to learn the swordsmanship of the Akitsuki family. There is no need to say it specifically in front of my grandfather."

Tang Zhihang scoffed at this: "Do you think I really want to learn the swordsmanship of your Qiuyue family? I just want to see if the old man values ​​family swordsmanship more or his granddaughter more. But even the old man who needs hesitation in this regard, I think he should value family swordsmanship more..."

"That's not the case!" Akitsutsuko quickly retorted: "Grandpa loves us very much, but... it's just that grandpa is the head of the family, so hesitates because of his own fault."

"Does your family have any requirements for choosing a head of the family?" Tang Zhihang asked again: "Does it be based on age or not to establish a virtuous person or are there any capable persons?"

Nako Akitsuki thought for a while, then said, "It is according to her ability... The heads of the Qiuyue family have all had the strongest swordsmanship in that generation. The current head is grandfather, and the next one is the second uncle with the strongest swordsmanship in his father and his generation."

Tang Zhihang nodded and said, "That is to say, you are the next head of the family?"

"No..." Akitsuki Tsunako said: "It's not me, the Akitsuki family does not allow women to be the head of the family, so no matter how strong my sword skills are, the head of the family can only be produced among my brothers."

"In other words, you have learned swordsmanship but cannot inherit the family business. The same is true for your sister Naomi Akitsuki. Even if you cure her, it will have no benefit to the family. Is that right?" Tang Zhihang said very hurtful words in a very calm tone. In the face of Tang Zhihang's questioning, Naoko Akitsuki could only nod and agree.

At this time, Akitsuki Nako had brought us to the guest room, "This is your room tonight... If the quilt is in the closet, you can take it yourself."

"There won't be no supper, right?" I said to Akitsuki Nako: "Although Tang Zhihang has angered your grandfather, you don't care about the meal, right? No matter what, we are also guests."

Akitsuki Nako smiled and said, "Don't worry, no matter how the Qiuyue family is, it's impossible for her to ignore the meal. But her grandfather was angry with Tang Zhihang. She probably wouldn't inform you to have dinner very late..."

"Order takeaway." Tang Zhihang said to me: "Although I feel a little disappointed to let the takeaway be delivered to this mountain, I don't expect that the owner would go hungry when he deliberately pigged us."

"Just kidding!" Akitsutsuko said quickly: "I will call you when I eat. It's okay if you want to stroll around this room, but now the people in the gym are still practicing. You can go and visit it, just don't bother them."

"Then let's go and have a look." Tang Zhihang threw his luggage on the ground and said, "I just happened to see what your gymnasium teaches."

So, under the leadership of Akitsuki Nako, Tang Zhihang and I arrived at the Akitsuki's gym, but Da Hei stayed in the room to play her game console.

"Drink! Ha!" In the gym, a group of people wearing white kendo uniforms were waving their swords there - it wasn't a sword, right? They were just traditional Japanese bamboo swords, the kind of bamboo swords that were used for training.

Tang Zhihang, who was standing beside me, couldn't help but stand on one foot and buckle her feet and said, "Is this the Qiuyue family's sword technique? It's just a simple sword swing, right?"

"This is training muscles, and it is also the basics of kendo." Akitsuki Nako was not angry at Tang Zhihang's disdainful tone. Although she was very good at swordsmanship, she didn't seem to respect her own swordsmanship very much: "I used to practice this way when I was a child. Although this set of movements is indeed boring, it is still useful in fitness."

Tang Zhihang pushed me and said, "Help me get a bamboo knife."

"Don't use your hand that just buckled his feet to touch me." I cursed at Tang Zhihang, but I could only take a bamboo knife for Tang Zhihang. Is this guy so lazy? I even asked me to help him get the knife.

Tang Zhihang, who took the bamboo knife, waved the bamboo knife slightly, and then said, "The weight is OK. If you swing well, you can kill people directly."

"Don't say such a terrible thing with such a calm look, okay?" I asked Tang Zhihang: "So what are you preparing to do with this bamboo knife? Could it be that you want to practice with them?"

So far, we have been communicating in Chinese. The students of the gym who are practicing wielding swords naturally cannot understand what we say, but they don’t know what Tang Zhihang is wrong. Suddenly, they said in Japanese: “What am I practicing with them? I want to compete with Nako Akitsuki and see who has better sword skills.”

The students in the gym heard this, and a group of people suddenly stopped their movements and looked at us. Tang Zhihang continued to say to Akitsuki Nako: "How about you want to compete?"

Akitsuzu Nako asked: "Did you take the wrong medicine? Do you think you have a chance of winning compared to me?"

On the way to Akiyue's house, Tang Zhihang heard me talk about the power of Akiyue's Nako. Even Huang Yuruo was not the opponent of Akiyue's Nako who had a knife, and she couldn't even see Akiyue's Nako's actions clearly. Who knew that Tang Zhihang could beat her?

"How can I know if I don't try it?" Tang Zhihang said: "Don't look at me like this, I actually have a certain foundation in swordsmanship. I have learned it for a while."

I think what Tang Zhihang said about "learning for a while" was probably what he thought about when he saw the Taoist priests on Wudang Mountain playing Tai Chi sword in the month he was in Wudang Mountain? Judging from the fact that he had learned the Kyoto accent in just a few minutes, I will no longer doubt Tang Zhihang's learning ability.

Akitsuki Nako was also bored, so she said, "Then come on... Don't blame me for not giving you face if you lose."

"It's okay, I'll lose." Tang Zhihang said as he walked to the middle of the gym, and the students also spread out and surrounded and watched the battle under the instructions of Akitsuki Nako.

One of them said to Akitsuki Tinako: "Miss Tinako, who is that person? How dare you challenge you so boldly?"

Akitsuki Nako said: "A friend I met in the Minhai area and I will discuss with me."

"Is he very powerful? How dare he compete with Miss Tinako."

Nako Qiuyue didn't know how to answer for a moment. She didn't know that Tang Zhihang was not the original Tang Zhihang. Her understanding of Tang Zhihang was still at the level where people rely on their cleverness to fool people in fact have no combat power. She even felt that Tang Zhihang just said that he wanted to learn the sword skills of the Qiuyue family just because Tang Zhihang was testing his grandfather, rather than really wanting to learn the sword skills of the Qiuyue family.

"How to say... it's okay. And we're just a competition. There's no need to care whether it's powerful or not... If you want to try it, wait for the two of us to discuss it later?" Akitsuki Nako said to the man.

The man quickly took two steps back and smiled, "Miss Tinaka, don't joke, how dare I talk to you, that would be embarrassing."

Akitsuki Nako took the bamboo knife from the man's hand, then walked to Tang Zhihang and handed the mask used when practicing kendo to Tang Zhihang and said, "Bring this to avoid accidental injury..."

"No need." Tang Zhihang threw the mask aside and said, "It has nothing to do with wearing it or not, it's still a bit troublesome to wear it."

"Is that so? Then don't attack the head." Akitsuki Nako held the knife in both hands, but did not make the posture she had when she fought with Huang Yurou. It seemed that she did not take Tang Zhihang seriously, but just planned to play with Tang Zhihang.

Tang Zhihang asked: "Don't you plan to use your full strength?"

"Ah?" Akitsuzu Nako said: "It's just a competition, there's no need?"

"Although it's a competition, it's not a joke..." Tang Zhihang suddenly took a step forward as soon as he said this, and the bamboo knife in his hand stabbed Akitsuki Nako.

Nako Akitsuki did not expect that Tang Zhihang's attack was so fierce, and it came to her in an instant. It was too late to block it. She quickly avoided Tang Zhihang's bamboo sword, but Tang Zhihang's bamboo sword was taken back the moment she turned sideways, and stabbed Akitsuki's waist again when Nako Akitsuki just dodged.

Akitsuki Nako was rushing to block the knife. Tang Zhihang attacked without leaving any room to force Akitsuki Nako to retreat step by step. The two of them were moving faster and faster. My dynamic vision could no longer keep up with the rhythm of the two. I only saw the sound of "papapapapapa" collision of bamboo swords with their four arms holding the knife.

Akitsuki Tsinako suddenly stepped back and widened the distance. The onlookers couldn't help but sigh: "Miss Tsinako has been suppressed!"

"Who is that guy? He can actually suppress Miss Tinako."

Tang Zhihang turned the bamboo knife in his hand and said, "How is it? I'll give you another chance to prepare, get serious."

Akitsuki Nako did not answer. She placed the blade behind her, with the tip of the blade being less than five centimeters away from the ground, the same action as when she faced Huang Yurou before.

Seeing this, Tang Zhihang let go of his left hand, held the sword in his right hand and relaxed all over. What is this guy going to do?

"Drink!" Akitsuki Nako rushed towards Tang Zhihang. At the same time, Tang Zhihang raised his sword to meet the enemy. The two bamboo swords collided again, but this time, Tang Zhihang couldn't help but take a few steps back - he was repelled by Akitsuki Nako's strong force.

Nako Akitsuki was pressing down and Tang Zhihang did not hesitate to fight again. However, this time, Tang Zhihang did not take Akitsuki's attack, but used his own bamboo knife to hold Akitsuki's sword and turned clockwise to remove Akitsuki's strength. At the same time, his bamboo knife also slid along Akitsuki's sword to the hilt of the knife. Nako Akitsuki quickly retreated and gave up the attack. If she did not retreat, her palm would be attacked by Tang Zhihang, right? If it weren't for the bamboo knife but a normal tooth knife, her palm would be cut by the sharp blade and could not hold the knife.

Tang Zhihang smiled and said, "No, keep going."

Nako Akitsuki did not choose to attack this time, but instead held the knife rigorously and confronted Tang Zhihang. Then, Nako Akitsuki's way of holding the knife went from placing the blade behind her to erecting the blade in front of her parallel to the ground. What kind of move is this?

"Miss Tinakako is going to be serious..."

"That kid is going to suffer."

Seriously...Akitsuki Nako is the beginning to be serious?

Just when I was confused, I suddenly found that another person had entered the gym - that was the sister of Akitsuki Nako, who had lost one left arm while blind, and Nami Akitsuki.

I saw Naomi Akitsuki walking over in small steps, sitting down against the wall not far from me, just staying there quietly, as if listening to the sounds in the gym.

Akitsuki Nako attacked for the third time, and Tang Zhihang also fought against him. The two of them collided again. This time the battle was more intense than the previous two times, and the two fought indiscriminately. In addition to the sound of the two fighting, there were also the sound of the students in the entire gym being amazed. I don’t know if they were surprised by the strength of Tang Zhihang being able to compete with Akitsuki Nako or the swordsmanship that Akitsuki Nako was dazzling.

I walked to Naomi Akitsuki and sat down. This little girl who always looked very well-behaved aroused my interest. I said to Naomi Akitsuki, "What are you doing here? Listen to their training?"

"This voice..." Akiyue Naomi's mouth slightly raised and said, "Is it the sister who was in the hall just now?"

"If you are talking about the companion of the man who made your grandfather angry, it is indeed me." I said to Naomi Akitsuki: "Don't worry, the guy just said nothing, he has no right to decide my actions. As long as your grandfather helps me find the robber to retrieve my lost things, I will be able to heal your arms and eyes."

"Really?" Akitsuki Naomi said excitedly: "Thank you, big sister!"

"No need to thank you... You haven't answered my question just now. Are you here to listen to their training?"

Naomi Akitsuki nodded and said, "Well, because the whole family is the loudest here, if I am here, I will know that there are many people around me."

I couldn't help but feel the heart skipped a beat. The little girl who looked only seven years old suddenly lost the right to see all the beautiful things in this world. She could only use her ears to feel the world. For a child of this age, she simply lost the whole world, but was suffering the eternal pain brought to her by the darkness.

"But today I don't know why there are no people shouting..." Akitsuki Naomi suddenly said: "It seems that someone is playing?"

"Yes, your sister Tinnako is playing against the bad guy brother who made your grandfather angry." I looked at Akitsuki Tinnako who was fighting against Tang Zhihang with a serious expression, and said to Akitsuki Naomi again: "Your sister is about to beat that bad guy brother down."

"Really?" Akitsuki Naomi said even more excitedly: "Hehehe, Sister Tinnako is the most powerful. She is the person with the most powerful swordsmanship in our family. Even Uncle Xia Xiong is not a match for Sister Tinnako."

I continued to watch the battle between the two. At this time, Akitsuki Nako seemed to have a slight advantage. The sharp attack just now was no longer there. Akitsuki Nako, whose offense gradually slowed down, could only give up the offensive side and choose to defend. At the same time, Tang Zhihang also started his attack.

"Tinnako's advantage is getting bigger and bigger." I said to Akitsuki Naomi: "The bad guy's pace has begun to get messy. He just got hit by Tinnako."

"Come on! Come on! Sister Tinnako!" Akitsuki Naomi suddenly stood up and shouted in the direction where the fighting sounds came.

Akitsuki Nako couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but when she was stunned, Tang Zhihang's bamboo sword ruthlessly hit her wrist: "Don't be distracted when fighting. As a swordsman family, don't you know this truth?"

Akitsuzu Nako rubbed her wrists that were beaten red and said, "You don't need to teach me this..."

Tang Zhihang sneered and attacked again, but Akitsuki Nako had no way to counterattack and could only block it continuously.

"Miss Tinaka! Come on!"

"Come on Miss! Don't lose!"

Listening to the cheering of the students in the gym, Nako Akitsuki couldn't help but smile helplessly. She realized the gap between the two. It would be easier to not lose.

"I just said that although it is a competition, it is not a joke." Tang Zhihang said: "You represent not only you, but also the dignity of your Qiuyue family. If you lose in front of so many students like this, your Qiuyue family..."

Before Tang Zhihang finished speaking, he was hit in the head by the mask I threw at. He looked at me and said in confusion: "Why are you hitting me?"
