Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 329 Evaluation
To a certain extent, Yukihime Yagyu's tragedy was caused by her incompetent brother.

If it weren't for Jubei Yagyu, the love between Yukihime and Tianya might still be something to look forward to.

Jubei Yagyu not only betrayed his sister, but also his father.

He is of average talent, is ambitious, and has a very cruel heart. He inherited Yagyu Danmamori's desire for fame and fortune, but lacks Yagyu Danmamori's wisdom in life and talent in martial arts.

The inherent contradiction between the Iga School and the Shinkage School caused Yagyu Jubei to attack Duan Tianya without mercy, with every move he made and every sword he used to kill.

Until Mian Kuang Shiro appeared and separated them with one move.

Mian Kyoushiro's magic swordsmanship is the best in Japan, and many people dream of becoming his disciple.

Yagyu Jubei was even more drooling. In his opinion, Mian Kyoushiro's phantom swordsmanship was more tempting than his father's "God of Killing with One Sword".

It’s a pity that Mian Kyoushiro looked down on the Yagyu family, and even more so on the infamous Yagyu Jubei.

No matter how Yagyu Jubei gave gifts and begged, Mian Kyoushiro would beat him up and kick him out of the house.

Duan Tianya also wanted to learn the magic sword technique. He came to Japan with an important mission and he must learn the most powerful martial arts in Japan.

So he was not willing to fall behind, and actively ran to Mian Kyoushiro's house to light the fire, cook and clean for him, and worked for him for three months.

Down-to-earth people are always liked, and Duan Tianya is very talented in martial arts.

After careful investigation in many aspects, Mian Kuang Shilang finally chose Duan Tianya as the successor of the Phantom Sword.

This aroused even more jealousy from Yagyu Jubei.

Every time after teaching Duan Tianya, Mian Kuang Shilang would go to the nearby fruit trees to pick fruits to eat.

When Yagyu Jubei learned of his habit, he smeared all the nearby fruits with the poison of the datura flower, hoping to use the poison to force Mian Kyoushiro to teach him the phantom sword.

Half a month later, Yagyu Jubei went to see Miankyoushiro again with a generous gift. That day was the birthday of his father Yagyu Danmamori.

Duan Tianya also made an appointment with Xue Ji to meet at the pavilion near the dojo.

As usual, Mian Kyoushiro was ready to beat up Yagyu Jubei and drive him away, but he found that he could not use his skills at all.

Yagyu Jubei laughed triumphantly and threatened Mian Kyoushiro to teach him the phantom sword, otherwise he would die.

But Mian Kuang Shilang was so proud that he would rather die than agree.

In order to save his master, Duan Tianya dueled with Yagyu Jubei and forced him to hand over the antidote. However, Yagyu Jubei was so despicable that he took out the antidote and scattered it all under the cliff when he saw that he could not beat Duan Tianya. Duan Tianya was furious and killed Yagyu Jubei with a knife and kicked his body off the cliff.

Yukihime Yagyu and her sister waited at the pavilion for Tianya, but he didn't come no matter how long they waited, so they had to return home in despair.

It was Yagyu Danmamori's birthday and the dojo was filled with joy. He was still waiting for his son and daughter to come and congratulate him.

In the end, he only waited for a distracted daughter and the cold corpse of Yagyu Jubei.

There is nothing more difficult to accept than seeing a loved one die before an old one. From then on, every birthday of Yagyu Danmamori would be the death anniversary of his son Yagyu Jubei. Reality is always cruel and hard to accept.

Yagyu Danmamori gnashed his teeth. Takizawa Ichiro, no, Duan Tianya! The vengeance of killing his son was irreconcilable! Duan Tianya had killed Yagyu Jubei, knowing that Yagyu Danmamori would never let him go. To avoid implicating the Iga Clan, he even went to apologize to Musashi Doshu, bid farewell, and severed his relationship as master and disciple, preparing to return to Middle-earth immediately.

He made an appointment with Xue Ji and wanted to take her back to Middle-earth.

This is tolerable, but Yagyu Danbamori is intolerable.

The fox-like Yagyu Danmamori had already known from Yukihime's expression that she was in love.

It is not surprising for a girl to fall in love, but when Yagyu Danmamori found out that Xue Ji's lover was Duan Tianya, he was furious!

"Duan Tianya, you killed my son and tried to kidnap my daughter. This is so insulting!"

Ordinary people might not be able to accept this kind of thing, let alone the famous and respected Yagyu Danma no Mamoru?
Yagyu Danmamori is like an angry lion. When he gets angry, no one can stop him.

Duan Tianya must die!

But Xue Ji could no longer leave Tianya. With the help of Piaoxu, Xue Ji successfully escaped from home, met up with Duan Tianya, and began her escape.

However, the two of them were unable to escape the trap set by Yagyu Danmamori.

Yagyu Danmamori, who was determined to avenge his son, was meticulous and vicious. Looking at the disobedient Yukihime, he cruelly cut off her hat and severed the father-daughter relationship with her.

What is the purpose of such an unfilial daughter coming here?

When Yagyu Danmamori used his killing sword to slash at Duan Tianya, Xue Ji rushed forward without hesitation and blocked the fatal sword for Tianya.

Duan Tianya's knife also pierced Yagyu Danmamori's chest.

The white snow was dotted with pieces of crimson, and Xue Ji's body, like a delicate cherry blossom petal, fell lightly on the snow.

After hearing Duan Tianya's story on the news, Yunque looked at Duan Tianya with a complicated expression.

During Duan Tianya's trip to Japan, he strictly carried out his mission. According to Tiedan Shenhou's instructions, he learned ninjutsu and swordsmanship until he achieved success. In terms of loyalty, he had no problem.

Perhaps because he was trained by the Iron-Hearted God since childhood, his inherent coldness and cruelty were fully displayed in Japan.

Although he loved Xue Ji deeply, he still showed no mercy when killing Xue Ji's brother, who was Xue Ji's biological brother!
When he killed Xue Ji's father, he also did not hesitate at all.

Perhaps, deep down in his heart, he did not regard Xue Ji as his lover.

He asked Yukihime to elope with him, perhaps simply because he knew in his heart that without Yukihime, he would never be able to escape from Japan or from the clutches of Yagyu Danmamori.

Isn't it terrifying when you think about it? Even if his love for Xue Ji wasn't a carefully planned scam, it was definitely tainted with water.

No matter how you look at it, he truly took advantage of Xue Ji.

Xue Ji also has a big problem. Although she knows that her brother is a bad person, he is still her own brother after all. Her brother was killed by his lover, and she was still thinking about eloping with her lover. How cruel a woman must be to do such a thing?

In order to elope with her lover, she broke with her father and even raised a knife to him. Her father loved her for eighteen years and trained her to become the best master of the Yagyu family, but Yagyu Yukihime easily forgot the grace of giving birth to her and the father-daughter love.

How much love can a woman who lacks basic qualities such as loyalty, filial piety, and brotherly love have for outsiders?
