Chapter 47: The Negotiation between the Apprentice and Tsunayashiro's Family
Under the leadership of an elegant elderly clerk, they walked through the corridor facing the courtyard. Every detail of the courtyard was carefully processed, and the floor of the corridor was polished and exuded a tawny luster.
The corridor spanned a pool with a giant koi swimming in the water. The two of them were taken to a separate private room.
There is a luxurious table in the center of the spacious Japanese-style room, with only a woman and a child inside.
The woman is Ukitake and Hikaru's wife, and the child is their child Jushiro Ukitake.
"This is... Jushiro?"
However, after seeing Shishiro, Liang Yue looked a little surprised and said
"How did he...?"
Compared to the first time they met at home, Ukitake Jushiro's face looked much better now, but his hair turned white.
It is really surprising that a three-year-old child has white hair.
"Jushiro..." Ukitake and Hikaru sighed, "Although that person successfully saved Jushiro's life,...his hair turned white after returning home."
Liang Yue nodded, and then saw the yellow crystal scales hanging around Shiro Shiro's neck, and said with some sadness, "...Cha Qin, didn't you take it away?"
"Although I saw him at first, he disappeared when I entered the world of death." Ukitake and Hikari sighed softly.
Liang Yue took the seat and the dishes started to be served one by one. Ukitake and Hikaru talked about their experience of meeting Dreyfus. Liang Yue was also amazed that someone could get rid of the symptoms of ghost hands.
And at the end, Ukitake and his wife looked at each other, suddenly left their seats and knelt in front of Liang Yue!
"You...what are you doing?!" Liang Yue was shocked
"I have already felt your thoughts during this banquet. There is no need to give such a grand gift again..."
"No, in addition to thanking Master Liang Yue for your guidance, we also have a request..."
Three-year-old Ukitake Jushiro also got down from his seat. After experiencing a life-threatening illness, he has become mature far beyond his age.
Like his parents, he knelt down in front of Liang Yue. First, Ukitake and Hikari continued.
"I hope... Lord Liang Yue can accept Shiro Shiro as his disciple!"
"..." Liang Yue didn't respond. He drank a cup of tea and sighed softly.
"Every student of Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy is my disciple. You really don't have to be like this..."
"Please ask Mr. Liang Yue's subordinate Shiro Shiro..." Ukitake and Hikari said tremblingly.
"This child survived because of Liang Yue, and I...maybe I can't stay with him for a long time..."
Although he did not explain his fate clearly, his eyes showed determination.
Seeing Ukitake and Guang's persistence, Liang Yue finally agreed. He sighed and said
"Okay...I agree."
"But I will not give him any preferential treatment. On the contrary, as my apprentice, his every move will be watched. If he does not do well, he will be criticized more severely than other students. You... understand
?"
"It should be so!" Ukitake and Guang were overjoyed when they heard Liang Yue agreed, and then heaved a sigh of relief.
What he fears most is that if their secrets are exposed one day, Jinglingting may do unimaginable things to Jushiro. He will be imprisoned, monitored, and then handed over to a group of researchers to analyze the essence of his soul.
In order to find the connection with the mysterious God of Death, Dreyfus!
And if he becomes Liang Yue's sect, perhaps when that day comes, this gentleman can save Shiro Shiro's life.
At least, he won't be treated horribly...
Ukitake Jushiro kowtowed to Liang Yue several times, and agreed that the apprenticeship ceremony would be held two days later, so the banquet ended and Jing Lingting fell into peace again...
Two days later, everyone in the Quanjing Lingting learned that the fourteenth son of the Ukitake family who was originally suffering from a terminal illness was saved by Liang Yue's fate. Moreover, this lucky boy also became a disciple of Liang Yue and became a disciple of Zhenyang Lingshu.
The only disciple of the college principal.
And just the day after Jushiro Ukitake entered the family, the head of the Ukitake family, Wako Ukitake, unfortunately passed away...
But... the Tsunayashiro family, who were extremely concerned about Liang Yue and Ukitake Jushiro, knew...
Ukitake and Hikaru were not dead. They were so powerful that they almost directly checked Ukitake and Hikaru's coffin, but there was no body of the head of the Ukitake family in it.
Moreover, they got another piece of news from the Ukitake family...
That is, Ukitake Jushiro was not rescued by Liang Yue using the power of the Spirit King's right arm, but went to a place called the 'Tower of Confusion'!
And on the night when Alice appeared, Ukitake and Hikaru led many guards to Higashi Rukongai, and only he and Ukitake Jushiro successfully returned to the Joireitei.
News one by one reached the ears of the current head of the Tsunayashiro family, and some of this family, which had been inherited from ancient times, could not sit still.
"Currently, the only people who know the complete story of this matter are Ukitake and Hikari's wife and Liang Yue... I have already asked Liang Yue personally, and the only thing he said was the legend related to the Tower of Delusion, and the rest...
He probably won’t say anything anymore.”
Tsunayashiro Genki, the current clan leader, said slowly to several people in charge of the clan, "Then the problem lies with Ukitake and Hikaru's wife..."
"The key thing is that Ukitake Jushiro became Liang Yue's disciple. We can't force her to tell her with strong methods. Now Liang Yue's prestige is at its peak, even if we, as the five nobles, can't be enemies with him.
"
An old man from the Tsunayashiro family below said slowly, "In the Tower of Delusion, there may be an organ that was divided by the Soul King, and unlike his right hand, he has a clear sense of self. Otherwise, except for the power of the Soul King,
What else can change the attributes and essence of the soul?"
"Even if he is part of the Soul King, his current condition cannot be that good. After all, our Tsunayashiro family has cut off the Soul King's left and right hands for millions of years just to put the Soul King into an inexorable situation.
In a thought spiral?"
"Even the main body of the Spirit King is like this, let alone an organ that is separated from the left and right hands and the main body..."
"What I'm most worried about... is what does he want to do? It would be fine if he could just be an alien god in Rukongai like Liang Yue's right hand, but he just built a Tower of Delusion..."
"The Spirit King himself is a contradictory person. He may have been willing to incarnate into the three realms at the beginning, but he must have thought about rejecting the proposal of the ancestor. Perhaps the God of Death in the Tower of Delusion... is the part that is hostile to us."
Several members of the Tsunayashiro family discussed it one by one, and finally Tsunayashiro Genki made a decision.
"How about the specifics? Let us go and see it in person...if he is really an organ or fragment of the Soul King..."
