The next day, he arrived at the Instinct Temple, which was the residence of the Daimyo Clan in the Iron Country.
Instinct Temple was built on a small hill surrounded by green mountains and dew, covered with a thin layer of frost. There were smooth stone steps on the clear grass that led to the main gate. On both sides of the stone steps, there was a medium-sized cherry blossom tree every other section. A few sparrows were resting on the branches, and from time to time, a few crisp chirps of birds could be heard.
Although it was not the season for cherry blossoms, it still had an ancient and elegant flavor.
"I am the boatman, Xu Yuyi, and I wish to see Miss Yuan Daoxue.”Nasu Yuichi smiled politely at the two guards. As for Yuan Daoxue, that was Tachibana Daoxue's original name.
Tachibana's surname was originally her mother's surname before she got married. When Yuki Minamoto was studying at the samurai school, Minamoto Yoritsuki did not want his daughter to delay her studies because of the Genji surname, so he disguised his identity with his mother's surname.
"Greetings, Young Master Na Xu.”The two guards also knew who Nasu Yoichi was, but business still had to be done properly. For small figures like them, rules were the heavens. Even if Naxu Yuichi was familiar with them, he would still be scolded if the manager found out that he had released them without permission.
The guard trotted into the temple. Naxu Yuichi looked around the temple with a calm face and smelled the faint fragrance of flowers.
The white walls were a little dark due to the erosion of time. Although it was not obvious in the corner, there was a small strand of moss. The black roof of the temple was slightly faded, and the white frost sprinkled on everything made the surroundings seem even more peaceful.
On the flat stone road, there were several towering cherry blossom trees, but the soil under the trees had traces of renovation.
"Young Master Xu, please come in." In less than two minutes, the guard, who was a little angry with Chuan, ran back.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Naxu Yuichi walked in with a familiar expression. Before he even entered the Snow Courtyard, he heard the clanging of metal.
"Don't mess up your footsteps." A mature and stern female voice was heard.
"Yes, sir!" Yuan Daoxue's slightly angry voice rang out.
Ding!
There was another crisp sound of swords clashing, followed by a few hurried footsteps.
At this moment, Nasu Yuichi had already walked through the door and saw an adult female warrior teaching Yuan Daoxue one-on-one. He had been pointing out Yuan Daoxue's flaws during his interactions with her.
One of the "Four Heavenly Kings of Lai Guang"--Sadamitsu Usui!
"This little girl is very hardworking!" Since he wasn't in a hurry, he leaned against the stone pillar at the entrance of the dojo and began to admire it with great interest. Usui Sadamitsu, on the other hand, noticed that Suyoichi wasn't in a hurry, so he greeted her with his eyes and continued to teach her.
"Pay attention to the strength of your grip on the saber. Although you can't let go of the saber, you shouldn't hold it too tightly!”
"Yes, sir!"
"Pay attention to your aura. Calm down and don't panic!”
"Yes, sir!"
"Keep your center of gravity down. You must ensure that your lower body is stable at all times!”
"Yes, sir!"
Yuan Daoxue was drenched in sweat, but he didn't show any fear. In the next moment, he took a step forward with his left foot, and his entire body suddenly rushed forward. The kodachi in his hand slashed across a white stream of light.
Saber Technique, Flash!
Ding!
Sadamitsu Usui blocked the white light with his backhand, while Yuan Daoxue turned the attack into a stab when he saw that it failed!
Saber Technique, Sudden Stab!
"Not bad!" Isui Sadako nodded. Her body swayed as she lightly tapped Yuan Daoxue's body with her saber, knocking her to the ground."You've improved quite a bit. Let's call it a day."”
"Phew…Isn't there still a while?”Yuan Daoxue used his katana to prop himself up and asked doubtfully. Following Usui Sadamitsu's smiling gaze, he saw Suyoichi at the entrance of the dojo.
"Yo!" Na Xuyu waved his hand.
"Have you been here for a long time?" Yuan Daoxue took a white towel and wiped his face, completely ignoring his slightly disheveled appearance.
"I just came a while ago." Nasuyoichi nodded."I'm here to bid farewell."”
"..." Yuan Xue was stunned for a moment, then she nodded in understanding."Have you decided to go out for training?"”
"That's right." Nasu Yuichi spread his hands in distress."The Iron Country is still too small. Moreover, Godfather agreed yesterday.”
"Is that so…" Yuan Daoxue turned around and rubbed her chin as she looked up at the blue sky. No one knew what she was thinking."Although I really want to go out with you, I know that with my current strength, I will only cause trouble if I go out.
"I will stay in the Iron Country and wait for you. Even though you're out cultivating, you must write to me often and tell me about the fun, delicious, and beautiful places outside. The annual temple fair…Hmm, forget about that. You might not be able to make it back in time…Anyway, do you remember everything I said just now?”
"Yes, yes, yes, Miss.”Nasuyoichi rubbed Yuan Daoxue's head."If the conditions allow, I will write letters often. I'll also strive to come back to accompany you at the temple fair every year!”
"Pinky swear!" Yuan Daoxue pouted and showed her little finger."Pinky swear, hang yourself. It won't change for a hundred years!"”
"Stay at home and listen to the four seniors, understand?”Xu Yuyi gently pinched Yuan Daoxue's face.
"I'm the kind of person who's unruly and willful!”Yuandao Xue Shen used two small pink fists to lightly hit Nashu Yuyi. She bit her lip and placed the katana at her waist on Nashu Yuyi's hand."I know you don't usually use a katana, and when you fight in close combat, you'll also use a latte arrow. But you should still wear it. Just treat it as an amulet that I've bestowed upon you!"”
The blade was 67 centimeters long, made of Chakra metal, with a dark red scabbard and a handle wrapped in a dark red cloth.
"Yes, my young miss!”
