My mobile game wife came knocking.

Ye Ming watched Gan Yu operate her phone, without insisting on hailing a taxi.

Because his phone is still with Hu Tao and he hasn't been able to get it back, and he's gotten used to mobile payments over the past few years and hasn't carried cash for several years, Gan Yu paid for the meal and hotel room earlier.

This isn't to say he's a kept man; it's just that he has no other choice.

They called a taxi on their phones, and after waiting for about half a minute, a taxi sped up and stopped in front of them.

Ye Ming first opened the car door for Gan Yu and let her get in. After Gan Yu got in, he then prepared to get in himself.

But as soon as he lifted his foot, a clear and melodious female voice came from not far behind him.

"Ye Ming, where are you planning to go? To my dojo? I thought you had forgotten our agreement from yesterday. I couldn't get through to you on the phone, and I couldn't get through to Fu Hua either. I thought something had happened to you, and I was just about to go back to the neighborhood to check."

"I didn't expect to run into you on the road. Come on, get in my car, I'll take you there."

Hearing the familiar voice, Ye Ming stopped and turned around. Sure enough, he saw a silver-gray Porsche sports car parked across the street, with the driver's side window half open, revealing the beautiful face of a girl with cherry-red hair.

This girl was none other than Okita Souji, whom Ye Ming had arranged to visit at her dojo yesterday.

Before Ye Ming could speak, Gan Yu, who had already gotten into the car, climbed out again. She looked at the beautiful girl across the street with an ethereal air and a pair of amber eyes as clear as a deep mountain pool, then looked at Ye Ming with a bright smile and a gentle tone: "Darling, who is this young lady? Aren't you going to introduce her to me?"

Honey?

Gan Yu's "darling" sent chills down Ye Ming's spine.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that I'm nervous, it's just that I feel awkward.

Since they met, Gan Yu has always called him by his name, even when they were fooling around at the hotel just now.

Ye Ming wasn't stupid; he certainly understood why Gan Yu had suddenly changed her way of addressing him.

Ye Ming glanced at Gan Yu and noticed that she had somehow taken his arm and was pressed close to him, her eyes fixed on Okita Souji across the street, her smile gentle and friendly.

He glanced at Okita Souji again. The girl in the cherry blossom dress had a calm face and cold eyes. She didn't seem to care about Gan Yu beside him. She just quietly watched him and waited for his response.

To be honest, Ye Ming was already mentally prepared for this situation. After all, with so many girls, the probability of this kind of scene happening was quite high.

"I'm sorry, sir, something came up and we have to cancel our ride. We'll just pay you the starting fare, is that alright?"

Ye Ming first walked to the driver's side window of the taxi and apologized to the driver.

"no thanks."

The driver was very generous.

"Ok?"

Hearing the driver's voice, Ye Ming frowned. He felt that the driver's voice sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

Ye Ming subconsciously looked down and glanced at the driver's face through the half-open car window.

Good heavens, this driver is actually the same driver who happened to see Ke Qing give him the 50 million yuan bank card when he was going home from Ke Qing's place that day.

To be honest, Ye Ming still has a deep impression of this driver. To this day, he still remembers the driver's disdainful, envious, and jealous look when he saw him holding the bank card.

However, at this moment, the driver's eyes no longer held any contempt; instead, they were filled with admiration.

"Bro, that's awesome."

Ye Ming read this meaning from the look in the driver's eyes.

Even more outrageous, Ye Ming actually saw figures of Yukinoshita and Rikka Takanashi in front of the windshield directly opposite the driver.

Goodness, this guy, could he be a fan of anime?

However, upon closer examination, it's not entirely impossible.

After all, back in the early 1990s, many people in Guangzhou, Fujian, watched anime through Hong Kong and Taiwan TV programs, such as Saint Seiya, Ranma 1/2, Sailor Moon, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Slam Dunk. Most of those people are now in their thirties.

Ye Ming remembers that during his sophomore summer vacation, he went to visit a classmate in Guangdong. When he went to a comic convention with others, there were several guys in their thirties who were also fans. Later, when they chatted, he learned that they had gotten into anime from watching TV programs. Now, they were all married. Some were ordinary office workers who had more than a dozen houses thanks to land expropriation compensation. Some were unemployed people who had built several buildings to rent out before their land expropriation compensation. Some were struggling drivers who drove sports cars and worked for Didi. In short, their lives were very miserable.

Of course, the word "miserable" was used by them. At that time, Ye Ming only had one thought: he also wanted this kind of miserable life.

Later, Ye Mingzhi got into FGO because he was introduced to the game by an ordinary office worker who owned dozens of houses. He then watched the anime FSN, FZ, and Kara no Kyoukai. Finally, when the FGO mobile game came out, he immediately became a fan.

Could this uncle be just an ordinary driver who owns more than a dozen houses?

Ye Ming really wanted to ask, but now was clearly not the time to satisfy his curiosity.

Ye Ming pulled Gan Yu a few steps to the side, told the driver to drive the car away, and then took advantage of the green light to cross the street.

Before the two women could speak, Ye Ming pointed to Okita Souji and calmly introduced, "Gan Yu, this is the swordsmanship coach I mentioned to you before, Okita Souji. Miss Okita is also a good friend of Fu Hua. Recently, Raffi has been receiving care from Miss Okita."

After saying this, Ye Mingchong smiled at Tian Zongsi and said, "This is Gan Yu, and I..."

"Hello, Ms. Okita."

Before Ye Ming could finish speaking, Gan Yu spoke first, extending her right hand to Okita Souji: "I've heard that Miss Okita is a master swordsman. Perfect timing, I also have a friend who is very skilled in swordsmanship. If we have time in the future, shall we spar together?"

Gan Yu was referring to Ke Qing.

"really?"

Okita Souji, whose gaze had been cool and aloof, suddenly brightened in her beautiful amber eyes upon hearing about the sparring match. She reached out and shook hands with Gan Yu, saying expectantly, "The path of swordsmanship is lonely, long, and endless. On this slow and arduous journey, it would be wonderful to have a master to spar with. Miss Gan Yu, may I ask your friend's name beforehand?"

"Huh? Her, her name is Ke Qing."

Okita Souji's reaction greatly surprised Gan Yu. This girl didn't seem to have grasped the hidden meaning in her words; she was genuinely just excited about sparring with a master.

"Keqing."

When he heard Gan Yu mention Ke Qing, Okita Souji was a little disappointed.

She was also present the night Ye Ming brought Ke Qing home a few days ago, so of course she knew Ke Qing.

The moment she saw Keqing, she could tell that Keqing had practiced swordsmanship and was a skilled swordsman. However, unfortunately, a skilled swordsman is not necessarily a good sparring partner.

But something is better than nothing.

To be honest, after being in this world for so long, Okita still feels a little lonely.

In the past, during the turbulent Bakumatsu period in Japan, swordsmen who emerged from battlefields teeming with corpses shone like stars, and she never had to worry about finding opponents. Later, when she arrived at Chaldea, she met swordsmen from different eras, such as Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro, whose swordsmanship was extraordinary. She even met swordsmen like Artoria and Mordred, who could unleash terrifying beams of light, for the first time.

Because he could sense the presence of people he liked, and because there were so many skilled opponents to challenge, Okita Souji's life in Chaldea was not boring.

Later, after coming into this world, finding someone you like is certainly something to be happy about, but not having an opponent with whom you can clash swords is quite a pity.

As for Keqing, compared to Musashi and the other women from Chaldea, and the real combat masters of ancient swordsmanship during the Bakumatsu period, Okita Souji felt that Keqing was not a good sparring partner.

However, having an opponent is always better than having no opponent, especially one who comes to him willingly, so Okita certainly wouldn't refuse.

When is she available? If it's convenient, is tomorrow okay?

Okita Souji held Gan Yu's hand and eagerly pressed for more information.

"Um, there should be, right?"

Gan Yu was a little stunned; she hadn't expected things to develop this way. But since Okita Souji was so eager for a spar, she certainly wouldn't hesitate.

After all, it's Keqing who's in charge. If Keqing wins, it means that under Ganyu's command, she will launch a powerful attack to strike at potential rivals, uniting the sisters to rebuild Liyue's glory.

If Keqing loses...

Even if she loses, it will be Ke Qing who gets beaten up and loses face, what does it have to do with Gan Yu?

No, there is still a connection.

If Gan Yu could see Ke Qing looking embarrassed, she felt that since they were all good sisters, she certainly wouldn't gloat. She would only feel sorry for Ke Qing and offer her gentle concern. But that Hu Tao would definitely be gloating non-stop.

As for Hu Tao, Gan Yu felt that she was good friends with Ke Qing, and she was also good friends with Hu Tao. If Hu Tao was happy, she, as a good friend, would be happy too.

In other words, this duel, whether she wins or loses, will only bring benefits and no harm; it will be a win-win situation. So why would Gan Yu refuse?

"I accept your challenge on behalf of Ke Qing!"

Gan Yu said with a serious expression: "Ke Qing is my good sister. I know her swordsmanship very well. It's very powerful. I hope you can be mentally prepared."

"duel?"

Why call it a duel when it was just a friendly sparring match?

Okita Souji tilted his head, a big question mark appearing above his head.

However, she quickly understood what Gan Yu meant.

Before cultivating the sword, one must first cultivate the mind. Only by controlling one's own mind can one have the foundation for practicing swordsmanship. A swordsman is a seeker of the Dao who climbs to the peak of swordsmanship. Every swing of the sword by a swordsman is infused with his spirit and will, and must be treated with utmost care. There is no reason to take it lightly.

Therefore, calling a friendly exchange a duel is truly fitting.

"I didn't expect Miss Gan Yu to be a kindred spirit."

Realizing this, Okita Souji looked at Gan Yu with more warmth and approval.

"How about we schedule the duel for tomorrow? As for the location, you can specify it. If there isn't a suitable place, it can be at my dojo. What do you think, Miss Gan Yu?"

"Let's do it at your dojo."

Gan Yu nodded in agreement.

She wasn't worried that Okita Souji would resort to any despicable means, because she believed that a girl with such clear amber eyes might be a good person or a simple bad person, but in any case, she would never be the kind of person who would go against her conscience and use despicable means to interfere with a duel.

Moreover, she and Hu Tao will definitely be there, so if anything happens, they can just take action.

After all, we're all good friends. It's okay to gloat when your best friend gets beaten up, but it's not okay to see your best friend being persecuted.

Of course, Gan Yu's gloating here refers to Hu Tao; she herself is not that kind of person.

"Okay, then it's tomorrow, at my dojo, it's settled then."

Okita Souji nodded and said, "That's settled then, see you tomorrow."

As he spoke, Okita Souji grabbed Ye Ming's sleeve and tried to pull him into the car.

"Okay, see you tomorrow!"

Thinking about tomorrow's duel, Gan Yu was both looking forward to it and excited.

As for Ke Qing's attitude, and whether she might refuse the duel, Gan Yu was not worried at all.

She had already come up with a reason to persuade Keqing—to strike at her love rival and restore the glory of Liyue.

Keqing would certainly not refuse such a reason.
