Upon hearing this, Wang Xun felt a chill run down his spine.

This technique...it's so reminiscent of Aizen.

Precise, ruthless, and leaving no room for compromise.

In fact, Wang Xun had already guessed that even if he managed to abduct the person from Dong Xianyao, the final result would most likely still be the same.

But when it actually happened, he was still impressed by the comprehensiveness of Aizen's thinking.

This part is watertight.

The atmosphere in the ward was somewhat somber.

"But then again, you did a great job on this mission."

Yoruichi glanced at Wang Xun and Soi Fong, his tone relaxed.

"Defeating Amamiya Shin and bringing back this key figure is already a great achievement, and I've seen it all. Wang Xun, your performance was excellent."

"Although the result was indeed somewhat unexpected, you have done your best within the limited scope, which does not preclude you from being commended."

"As for the Ninth Division..."

Yoruichi then gave a mysterious smile.

"Let their captain come and talk to you in person."

Before Yoruichi could finish speaking, a series of light footsteps came from outside the ward, followed by a knock on the door.

"Excuse me! Are the members of the Second Division present?"

A lively and clear female voice came from outside the door.

Wang Xun and Soi Fon exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised.

Yoruichi raised an eyebrow, a knowing smile playing on her lips, and responded loudly.

"Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and the first thing to peek in was the head of a girl with short, fluffy green hair.

She blinked her big eyes and curiously scanned the ward.

"Yay~ This is Kugane Shiro, the vice-captain of the Ninth Division, here to visit the wounded!"

She waved enthusiastically, carrying an exquisite gift in her hand.

Following her in was a man with short, neat hair and a resolute, composed face.

He wore the 9th Division Captain's Hagoromo, and his tall and imposing figure exuded a powerful aura.

The newcomer was none other than Kensei Rokusha, the captain of the Ninth Division.

"Captain Yoruichi, I apologize for bothering you."

Kensei Rokusha nodded slightly, his voice deep and resonant.

"I have heard that there was some unpleasantness between our team members and your team, and I have come to apologize."

Yoruichi crossed her arms, a playful smile on her face.

"The sixth squad leader arrived quite quickly. If you have something to say, speak to the person in charge."

"Yes, this matter concerns the relationship between the two teams, so we dare not neglect it."

"Itsuki Kensei said seriously."

He then gestured for Jiu Nanbai to place the fruit basket on the bedside table, and solemnly bowed slightly to Sui Feng and Wang Xun.

"On behalf of the Ninth Division, I apologize to both of you for Kaname Tosen's offensive behavior yesterday."

He adopted a very humble attitude.

Jiu Nanbai nodded vigorously to the side, her hair swaying with the movement.

"Yes, yes! That Tosen guy went too far, we've already taught him a lesson!"

Soi Fon sat up straight instinctively and then looked at Wang Xun.

Wang Xun was quite surprised to see Kensei Rokusha bowing so solemnly.

"Sixth Division Captain, you flatter me. I just wonder... how does the Ninth Division intend to handle this matter?"

Kensei Rokusha stood up straight, his face serious.

"Dongxian has been suspended from all duties and is confined to the barracks for self-reflection."

"In addition, his salary for four years will be confiscated, one year each, to be compensated to the four members of the Second Division."

He paused, then spoke slowly.

"Tosen is not usually such an impulsive person. This time, the defection of Amamiya Shin involved private matters within the team, resulting in the death of a prisoner. It is a heinous crime."

"As the fifth seat in charge of the arrest, Dongxian was under immense pressure. He must have been so anxious that he acted so out of control. Of course, this is by no means an excuse."

Jiu Nanbai moved closer to Wang Xun, blinking her big eyes.

"Don't be angry, Captain Kensei has been scolding Tosen for ages! Saying he's too eager for quick success and doesn't care about the bigger picture... Ouch!"

Before she could finish speaking, Kensei Muguruma flicked her finger on the forehead.

"Bai, be mindful of the occasion."

Kensei Muguruma shook his head helplessly, then looked back at Yoruichi and Soi Fon.

"Captain Yoruichi, I've come today for two reasons: first, to apologize, and second, to ask... if this matter can be resolved at the captain level?"

"After all, conflicts between team members often occur in order to compete for credit. Since no one was injured, could you give me some face?"

"I will strictly enforce the punishment requested by Tosen, and we will also strengthen the rectification of team discipline. In my opinion, there is no need for us to report it to Room 46."

His meaning was clear: he hoped to minimize the damage.

Yoruichi didn't answer immediately, but looked at Soi Fon and Ohhiro.

"You are involved in this matter, what is your opinion?"

Soi Fon was silent for a moment, then turned her gaze to Wang Xun and said softly.

"Let's listen to Wang Xun."

Several people's eyes fell on Wang Xun, who was also quickly weighing his options.

Continuing to pursue this matter will only result in Tosen Kaname imposing an even harsher punishment, which will not benefit him in any way.

The captain of the Ninth Division has come in person, and his attitude is humble enough, so there's really no need for me to investigate further.

A team leader personally visited to apologize, and the punishment he imposed was not lenient.

If he were to pursue this further, it would be tantamount to completely breaking ties with the Ninth Division, making him appear unreasonable and unforgiving.

More importantly, Tosen is to serve as Aizen's right-hand man, and Wang Xun doesn't want to offend Aizen to the point of death yet.

That's enough.

Thinking of this, Wang Xun raised his head and met the gaze of Kensei Rokusha.

"Since the Sixth Division Captain has come in person and the punishment was appropriate, let's leave it at that. However, I hope that the Ninth Division can strengthen its management in the future to prevent similar incidents from happening again."

A hint of surprise flashed in Kensei Muguruma's eyes, which quickly turned into admiration.

Thank you.

"It's so important," said Kensei Rokusha solemnly.

"In my capacity as captain of the Ninth Division, I guarantee that such an incident will never happen again. Furthermore..."

He looked at Wang Xun, his tone serious.

"If you have any problems in the future, you can come to the Ninth Division to find me. As long as it doesn't violate the principles, I will do my best to help you."

This is a very important promise.

A captain's personal favor is a very valuable resource in Soul Society.

Once the conversation started, the atmosphere immediately became much more relaxed.

Yoruichi smiled and smoothed things over.

"Now that we've opened up, Captain Six and Vice Captain Kunan, thank you both for coming all this way. Once Soi Fon recovers, the Second Division will treat you to tea."

"Thank you for your understanding, Captain Sifeng."

Kensei Rokkaku nodded.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Kensei Rokusha took his leave with Kunan Shiro.

The ward door closed again.

Yoruichi let out a long sigh of relief, a playful smile appearing on her face.

"Kensei Rokusha... is much more tactful than he seems, but his attitude is quite sincere."

She looked at Wang Xun.

"You handled it well just now. There's not much point in pursuing this further. The next step would be dismissal and investigation, but it shouldn't escalate to that point."

Wang Xun looked in the direction the two had left and said softly.

"The sixth vehicle captain... is an upright man."

"yes."

Yoruichi sighed.

"That's why he was kept in the dark. Perhaps the problems within the Ninth Division are more serious than he imagined."

Then, Ye Yi looked at Wang Xun with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

"Speaking of which, I think I just heard something... Did Captain Unohana say she was interested in inviting you to train with the Fourth Division?"
