At dusk, the orange sunlight shone on the white walls of Xiaoling Court, casting Shigure's shadow.
He walked steadily with an expressionless face.
Acting captain was both a good thing and a bad thing for him.
The good thing was that he had obtained the same authority as the other team leaders. In the future, he would have more say in all aspects.
The bad thing was that this position restricted him.
The captain's meeting had basically become something he had to attend.
For someone like him who liked to act on his own will, this gave him a feeling of being shackled.
However, after thinking about it carefully, he could understand.
The fact that Yamamoto Genyanagi had placed him in this position meant that he was being promoted.
There was also a sense of supervision and anticipation.
He hoped that Shigure would quickly grow into a sharp blade for the imperial court.
"'Old Man Shan is quite scheming...'That's what you're thinking now, isn't it, Qichuan?”
Just as Shigure was deep in thought, a voice rang out in his ears.
Immediately after, Jing Le Chun Shui appeared beside him with a lazy smile.
Shigure's gaze shifted as he smiled.”
Jing Le Chun Shui heard this and smiled." Little Qi Xu, her mission today is a little difficult. I've been idle for half a day."”
"Just nice, I'll accompany you to the 13th Division's dormitory to take a look at Floating Bamboo.”
Shigure nodded lightly upon hearing Harumi's words.
With the good relationship between Harushui and Juushirou, this was not unusual.
"So, Qichuan, that's what you were thinking just now, right?”Chun Shui suddenly said.
Shigure was taken aback for a moment before realizing that he was referring to the incident at Yamamoto Genyanagi House.
However, he did not intend to hide it, so he nodded and said bluntly,"I think…the Head Captain is a little too hasty this time.”
"Too hasty?" Chun Shui smiled." I don't think so…I feel that this seems to be something that he had thought of before.”
Shigure's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. A guess suddenly appeared in his mind.
This afternoon, he was sent here to replace the captain in the meeting because Fu Zhu was sick.
However, after he returned from the mission, he was appointed as the " permanent acting captain " by Yamamoto Genyanagi.
Shigure originally thought that Yamamoto Mogenyanagusai had done all of this in a rush.
However, Shigure suddenly came to a realization after hearing Harumi's words.
Was this…really just a coincidence?
From the temporary " acting captain " to the " hidden " fourteenth captain.
Was it really a hasty decision for someone as cautious as Yamamoto Genyanagi to make such a huge decision?
Seeing Shigure's expression, Harumi suddenly laughed.
" It seems like you understand now, Qi Chuan…"
Shigure raised his head and looked at Harumi for a long time before suddenly laughing.
"So, Floating Bamboo's captain…he already knew that the head captain would make such a decision?”
Chun Shui smiled mysteriously and walked forward shakily." Won't you know if you ask? Let's go…"
……
A moment later, the two of them arrived at the 13th Division.
The members of Division 13 were not surprised by Harumi's arrival. Instead, many of them were looking at Shigure with admiration.
Presumably, they had heard about what had happened in the Land of Death from those who had participated in the crusade against the Void.
Jing Le Chun Shui smiled as he walked forward,"
"Looks like you, Qi Chuan, even if you don't want that position…you can still have the reputation of a captain.”
From the reactions of the members of Division 13, he knew.
The news of Shigure annihilating the void group by himself would probably spread throughout Nanling Court in no time.
Shigure smiled without saying a word when he heard Harumi's words.
The two of them arrived at the entrance of Floating Bamboo's team building. The door was tightly shut.
Shigure was about to knock on the door, but Harumi pushed it open casually.
After the door was pushed open, he saw that Floating Bamboo Juushirou was actually sitting at the side, reading a book.
When he heard the sound of the door being pushed open, he already knew that it was Jing Le Chun Shui before he even looked over.
"Jing Le, I want to know, when you go to the teacher's dormitory, do you knock like this every time?”
Floating Bamboo turned his head and smiled.
As he spoke, he looked at Shigure and smiled.""It's been hard on you today, Qichuan.”
Shigure looked over and saw that Floating Bamboo's face was still rather pale.
However, he did not look as sick as he was in the afternoon.
Shigure chuckled and shook his head.
"I really didn't expect such an honest person like you to know how to act…"
When Floating Bamboo heard this, he was slightly taken aback. He immediately understood what Shigure meant.
But before he could speak, Chun Shui spoke.
"Qi Chuan is right, you even lied to me.”
Floating Bamboo smiled bitterly," I have no choice. This was Teacher's idea.”
Then, he began to explain,"
"Not long after Qi Chuan left the Black Erosion Hell and joined my thirteenth division, I went to visit my teacher once.”
"At that time, he told me that he wanted to raise Qi Chuan's position in the Nanling Court.”
Shigure's gaze shifted upon hearing this.
He didn't expect that Yamamoto Genyanagi's plan had started so early.
"Seeing that Teacher seemed to be a little troubled, I suggested that we use the 'acting captain' to make a fuss.”
" After all, I'm often absent because of my health…" Floating Bamboo smiled awkwardly.
" So, after hearing my suggestion, Teacher asked me to find an opportunity for a team leader meeting and let Xichuan represent me.”
"And today, I understood that the opportunity had come, so I wanted to let you go, Qichuan.”
Floating Bamboo looked at Shigure with an apologetic smile.
Hearing this, Shigure naturally understood the whole story.
In this way, the unusually firm and domineering attitude of Yamamoto Genyanagi Zhai at the meeting today could be explained.
Shigure lowered his gaze as he deliberated in his heart.
" Looks like I'll have to change my opinion of Floating Bamboo's captain in the future…"
