“……”
“？？”
“……”
"Could it be that what I said just now was just an illusion in my mind? I'm sorry, I'll say it again.”
"No need, I heard you very clearly.”
Guan Yue raised her hand to interrupt.
"Then why is your reaction so calm?!”
"…No, I'm very surprised, but what I'm surprised about is that the head captain who is more rigid than anyone else and more staunch than anyone else would become the mastermind behind the scenes.”
"I know Yamamoto Genyanagi has a high reputation, but please believe me! My father, Ruyue Qin Xu, died in his hands!”
"If the Yao Yao Blade was forged by Kasumichi, then Yamamoto Motoyanagi must have colluded with Kasumichi to kill the Death God who discovered the secret.”
Seeing that Guan Yue did not believe him, the Heavenly Shell Embroidered Assistant was anxious.
"There are many reasons for killing, but most of the reasons for fighting are for dignity or life. Head Captain Yamamoto is not someone who will easily draw his sword. Before there is sufficient evidence to prove your guess, I will not refute or confirm it.”
"I heard with my own ears that before my father died, he said that he was killed by Yamamoto Genyanagi. How can this be false?! My father also told me about the Yao Yao blade. He also told me to be careful of the Yao Yao blade.”
"…If that's the case,"
Seeing that Tenbei Suzuke was convinced that Captain Yamamoto had killed his father, Guan Yue did not pursue the matter any further. Instead, she made a suggestion.
"Then come and assist me."
"The person in charge of forging the Yao Blade in the Xiamu family is both the main culprit and the best witness. As long as we take him down, I can dig out the truth from his mouth.”
"…How?"
Hashimoto said hesitantly.
"You only need to do me a small favor.”
Guan Yue revealed an inexplicable smile.
……
Several days later.
At Kasumi's house.
In the vast mansion, Yunjing Yaojue came to his secret chamber.
He lit a candle, and the flickering flame lit up the small room.
His usually kind face looked cold and sinister under the candlelight. He curled up like a vengeful spirit, ready to devour the living at any time.
"Have you found the latest batch of Experimentals?”
"Yes, I've found all of them."
"How is his strength?"
"…Well, only one of them has the ability to be a banquet official, but this subordinate believes that this person has great potential.”
The masked servant knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
"Oh? Tell me."
Yunjing Yaojue was quite interested.
" His name is Tianbei Xiuzhu, and he came from Liuhun Street. His strength is quite extraordinary. Most importantly, he had a conflict with the third seat of the second division, Guanyue, so he took the initiative to seek refuge on the Kasumi Road.”
"That Guan Yue is really an idiot to have a conflict with such a troublesome guy. However, she's not so stupid that she can't be saved. At least she knows how to find a backer.”
"He's a little smart and has enough potential. More importantly, he's in a precarious situation. This person might become a valuable chess piece. Where is he now?”
"He is in the mansion. Do you want me to summon him?”
"No, send someone to test his strength first. I want to see if he is worthy of the Yao knife.”
Yunjing Yaojue rejected his subordinate's suggestion and issued a new order.
"Yes, sir!"
The servant retreated.
An hour later, the Heavenly Shell Xiuzhu appeared in the secret room.
Yunjing Yaojue looked at the tall young man in front of him with satisfaction.
"Good skills. Even ten assassins couldn't leave any wounds on you. From now on, the Kasumi Daji family will be your backing. In return, you have to contribute your strength to my great cause.”
"I don't care whose great cause it is. As long as it can give me the power to take revenge, I will definitely repay this favor.”
The Heavenly Shell Embroidery Assistant's attitude was cold and even a little rude.
However, Yunjing Yaojue did not care.
"Hmph, I have plenty of power. It depends on how much you can use it. Do you see the weapon on the shelf beside you? This was the secret weapon of the Kasumi clan, the Yao knife. It could absorb the user's spiritual pressure and in turn forcefully increase the user's strength.”
"The more you absorb, the greater the increase in strength. You can also obtain a special ability like the release of the knife, which is equivalent to the knife that anyone can use.”
"Any one is fine. Pick one and take it away.”
“……”
The Heavenly Shell Suzuke looked at those strange weapons and was shocked.
"This is…the Yao Yao Blade?"
"Hmm?"
Yunjing Yaojue did not hear what the Heavenly Shell Xiuzhu said clearly. He thought that he was shocked by the performance of this powerful weapon, and his expression was slightly smug.
As a retainer of the Kasumigami family, he had never done anything like this before.
Using the secret techniques of the main family to create weapons without authorization, taking the assassin troops cultivated by the Kasumigami family for their own use, and then giving them weapons to strengthen the armed forces and win over the hearts of the people.
When the master passed away one day, he could support a new puppet to take over the family business of this famous upper-class noble.
"I have a question I want you to answer.”
The Heavenly Shell Xiuzhu suddenly asked.
"What is it?"
"Did you instruct me to develop this weapon called the Yao Yao Blade? Or was it the chief planner of the Kasumi family?”
"…Hehe, your question is actually the same. Although she is still the leader, with her weak body, it would not be strange for her to die at any time. Right now, most of the Kasumi Road is under my control, so your benefactor…is also limited to me.”
Yunjing Yaojue laughed hoarsely.
"Benefactor…"
A mocking smile appeared on the corner of the Heavenly Shell Howling Help's mouth.
"Just you alone? That's great. There's no need to activate the more complicated second plan.”
"Plan?"
Yunjing Yaojue did not understand what he was saying.
Suddenly, the Heavenly Shell Howling Helped raised his hand.
A spiritual talisman flew out of his sleeve and stuck to Yunjing Yaojue's forehead.
The latter was old and had never experienced battle.
They could not react in time to such a surprise attack.
However, the servants hiding in the dark flashed out from the ceiling and behind the door, surrounding the Heavenly Shell Howling Assistant.
"Stop!"
Yunjing Yaojue suddenly spoke.
The servant dressed as a ninja looked back and realized that the talisman on his master's head had disappeared. His entire person did not change at all, as if everything he had seen just now was just an illusion.
"Leave."
“……”
The servants didn't know what was going on, but the will to carry out the order had long been imprinted in the depths of their souls. They retreated without any hesitation.
“……”
Heavenly Shell Xiuzhu was also observing Cloud Well Yaojue.
He was a little nervous.
He was afraid that there would be any slip-ups in his plan.
At this moment, he noticed that the old man opposite him blinked his right eye twice and patted his knee.
In an instant, the Heavenly Shell Xiuzhu's heart calmed down.
"I'll rely on you next…Guan Yue, Third Seat.”
Yunjing Yaojue's judgment was correct in a sense. He was indeed a useful chess piece, but there was already a chess player before he came here.
