Coral Palace Heart Sea: "Thank you."

The breath I had been holding in had nowhere to go, so it fell back down, turning into a feeling of restlessness in my chest.

But Mu Xian's frustration still had nowhere to go, because his mind had just taken a step back at just the right moment.

"So, Lord Mu Xian, you should still remember Xin Hai, right?"

Xin Hai smiled gently, but the smile contained only gentleness, completely obscuring any other emotions.

A true strategist, when planning something, will never let anyone know what he's thinking.

This was taught to Coral Palace by Mu Xian, but clearly, she is now using it for more than just military strategy.

But so what? Many things can't be planned.

“I remember saying before that since you chose Haiqi Island, then we have nothing to do with each other anymore.”

Mu Xian spoke, not coldly, but in a calm tone: "I hope you can keep your promise, and I also hope this is the last time."

The girl's disguise was cracked by the panic; the crack was shallow, but easily noticeable.

"Lord Mu Xian..."

Xin Hai wanted to explain something, but the next second came a soft apology: "I'm sorry."

“You did nothing wrong, and you don’t need to apologize to me.”

Mu Xian continued, "I just overestimated myself."

"I overestimated my ability to gain trust, but in the end, no one ever trusted me."

"Actually, aside from those missions and that plan, Yae no Miko has been quite good to me."

"But thinking about it, it makes sense; one tends to be more lenient with a dying person,"

"By the way, I think I saw your name on that plan. How should I put it... I guess it was somewhat expected."

"So you should also know that when that plan is completed, it will be my death day."

As Mu Xian uttered his last words, the facade, riddled with cracks, shattered completely.

Cherry blossom petals continued to fall as always, and the old woman reappeared amidst the stalemate between the two.

"young people."

"Have I seen you somewhere before?"

Chapter 91 Are you the professional?

"Hey? Young man, why are you leaving already?"

The old woman's words kept echoing in my mind and ears, while before my eyes was Mu Xian's receding figure.

—No, the fox clearly told me that it wasn't like that.

—What...what exactly went wrong...?

Every night, Xin Hai looked forward to meeting Lord Mu Xian again, and she imagined the scene of their reunion more than once.

At that time, Xin Hai slowly formed a plan on what to say and what to do.

Regardless of whether Lord Mu Xian was willing or not, Xin Hai wanted to hug him immediately, to prove with her actions that she had always missed him.

Then, Xin Hai will tell Mu Xian a lot of things, and their relationship will return to how it was on Hai Zhi Island.

However, reality shattered Xin Hai's meticulously prepared plan, exposing the vulnerable girl beneath it.

It was as if she had returned to many years ago, and Xin Hai felt once again the confusion and panic she had felt when she first took over as the current human god priestess.

The unrest among the people on the island and the pressure from the shogunate outside the island enveloped Shin-kai completely.

But this time, it seems like Xin Hai is all alone.

Please don't go.

Don't leave now...

Xin Hai wanted to call out to Mu Xian like that, but he didn't have the courage to say it out loud.

She stood there, watching the figure gradually disappear into the distance, becoming smaller and smaller...

Falling cherry blossom petals blocked the view, and when the petals disappeared from sight, the distant figure also disappeared with them.

Left?

It seems that Master Mu Xian has truly left.

But Xin Hai never left. The old woman's voice gradually became blurred, and Xin Hai seemed to be able to hear many faint sounds around him.

—I can't leave, I can't leave this time.

—What if, what if Lord Mu Xian comes back?

—If Lord Mu Xian doesn't see me when he returns, will he think I've done it again...?

Xin Hai seemed to be caught in some kind of obsession, just staring into the distance.

The old woman paused for a moment, then slowly walked away from Xin Hai, until she walked over to another young girl.

"young people."

The old woman repeated her question: "Have I seen you somewhere before?"

The elegant young woman held a bright yellow katana in her arms, as if it were something she cherished.

"It must be the living goddess priestess Coral Palace Kokoro from Umiji Island."

The girl walked to Xin Hai's side, but Xin Hai was still looking into the distance, ignoring even the cherry blossoms falling on him.

"I want to tell you something."

"There are some about Inazuma, and some about Kizuna-kun."

The girl's words made Xin Hai react. He turned to look at the girl and saw that the knife in the girl's arms had been pulled out halfway.

Even before revealing its full power, this katana already demonstrates its extraordinary nature...

"Wang!"

Taro-maru wagged his tail, biting and pulling Haya-yu's clothes backward, waking her up from her drowsiness.

"These clothes were given to me by my teacher, don't touch them!"

Like a child protecting a toy in her hand, Zaoyou angrily pulled the clothes back.

"Wang."

"Stop yelling, I'm not playing with you, I'm going to wait for the teacher here."

As Zaoyou spoke, she ignored Taromaru beside her and stared intently at the entrance of the wooden tea room.

After accompanying Taro-maru to the wooden tea room, Hayazu spent the entire night there.

Zaoyou might fall asleep because she was too sleepy, but every time there was a noise coming from the entrance, it would wake her up.

"How long do you think it will take for the teacher to arrive?"

Seeing yet another unfamiliar guest enter the tea room, Zaoyou rested her head on her two little hands and asked with some confusion.

"Wang..."

Taro-maru's cry sounded somewhat dejected; even outsiders who couldn't understand the meaning behind it could tell the negativity in his voice.

"The teacher won't just not come."

The little girl's voice was stubborn, and then she muttered, "The teacher said she would definitely come to find me."

The door to the wooden louvered tea room was slowly pushed open, and then a familiar figure appeared.

"Is there a new dress here?"

When Mu Xian spoke, he saw an empty counter.

Strange, Mu Xian remembers that Taro Maru used to stay here all the time.

"teacher!"

Just as I was wondering, something suddenly pounced on me from the side, followed by Taromaru behind me.

Mu Xian reached out and grabbed Zao You by the back of her collar before she could pounce on him.

"What's the hurry?"

Mu Xian said, "If I say I'm looking for you, I'll come looking for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Xian looked at the remaining Taro Maru.

Taro, wagging his tail, barked a few times, then turned and walked towards a certain room...

Ten minutes later, Mu Xian, who had taken a shower and changed her clothes, came out of the room.

He patted Taromaru's head, waiting for Moshishi's Yoru to reappear.

"teacher."

Zaoyou asked expectantly, "Where are we going today?"

"Not today."

Before the expectation in his eyes had faded, Mu Xian's voice rang out again.

"Zaoyou, can you help the teacher with some things today?"

"Does the teacher need Zaoyou's help?"

Zaoyou suddenly perked up again: "Teacher, what do you want Zaoyou to do?"

"Not in a hurry."

Mu Xian paused, then patted Zao You's head: "Let's go for a walk before it gets dark."

Seeing the little girl's squinting, blissful expression, Mu Xian paused for a moment before continuing, "But we won't go to the outlying islands. We'll just wander around Inazuma City."

...

At this time, outside the town magistrate's office.
