"People's joys and sorrows are not the same. I have had similar experiences as you, but I dare not say that I can fully understand your current mood."

"But life must go on."

Uesugi Kiyoshi looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, and his voice became even gentler.

"Xingzi, even if the sky is covered by dark clouds, the stars will still exist. As long as you persist, you will eventually see the bright moon after the clouds clear."

"If a person has never seen the light, then the darkness he is in is no more than this."

"Xingzi, you have to be strong."

"You still have me."

Hearing what Uesugi Kiyoshi said, Nohara Anko looked up blankly. Her little face with traces of tears looked so pitiful that Uesugi Kiyoshi felt a little distressed.

All this was a bit too heavy for a sixteen-year-old girl.

He calmed himself down and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Kyoko, no matter what, Mr. Yokota's death has something to do with me."

"I will take responsibility. Until I can come up with a solution, you can stay at my house first."

"My house is a bit old and small. Living with a man like me will have a big impact on you and will be very inconvenient. You can just stay here for one night. Tomorrow I will visit Master and ask him to think of a solution for you."

Nohara Anko's confused eyes gradually came into focus. She realized what Uesugi Kiyoshi was saying and stood up suddenly. She had been squatting for too long, and her blood circulation was blocked. Coupled with her grief, she felt a little dizzy for a moment. Uesugi Kiyoshi quickly supported her and she fell into a warm embrace.

She wanted to stand up straight in panic, but feeling the warmth coming from Uesugi Kiyoshi's body, she felt reluctant to leave - she had no one else to rely on now.

She shamelessly stayed in Uesugi Kiyoshi's arms, muttering to herself.

"Can I really bother Uesugi-kun?"

"me."

"I have no money. No one wants to hire me when I go to work. They think I am too short and look like a middle school student. I am also clumsy. My aunt always says that I am a useless waste. I will cause trouble for Uesugi-kun."

Uesugi Kiyohuk touched Nohara Anko's little head sincerely, smiled and shook his head.

"No, I think Xingzi is a very good girl."

"Xingzi, I told you at noon that we are friends."

"You can try to rely on me a little, I will help you."

Hearing this, Nohara Anko felt as if she had taken a reassurance pill and suddenly felt at ease. Although she was still a little sad about the death of her loved one, the feeling of despair had disappeared.

Her cheeks were slightly red, and she murmured softly: "Then please give me more guidance, Uesugi-kun."

At this moment, Uesugi Kiyoshi's pupils shrank slightly.

He saw that behind Nohara Anzi in his arms, there was a bright fluorescent light, and countless light spots were flying in the air, forming a dandelion-like plant pattern.

That is Yingcao.

At the same time, a thought suddenly came to his mind.

"The Yingcao Demon Soul returns!"

Please give me some votes. The performance of this book is quite average, which is also expected. When I wrote down the outline of this book, it is not actually a light Japanese novel. There is a love line, but it is definitely not the main line. However, after much thought, I felt that it would fail miserably if it was published in the city, so I shamelessly started a book in the light novel field. Now it seems that the results are no different, they all flopped.

Until now, not even the trial push has come, and I really have no motivation to update explosively. To be honest, my updates are quite stable, two updates a day with 4,000 words, and when I update, it's a two-in-one big chapter. Anyway, 4,000 words are guaranteed every day. Today there are two chapters with 6,000 words. I'm not diligent, but I'm definitely not lazy.

The first volume will be finished next week. The foreshadowing and other things are almost done, and I am going to start the plot of the second volume. This is my first book since I came to Qidian. It doesn’t matter if it fails. I don’t want to postpone it.

Chapter 38 Come to the door

Uesugi Kiyoshi looked a little dazed. The shadow of Yingcao flashed by and turned into a streak of firefly light, which was reflected in his forehead.

His brain trembled, and he felt as if there was something extra in his mind. He closed his eyes slightly, focused his mind, and immediately stepped into the Town of a Hundred Demons.

Walking hurriedly, Uesugi Kiyoshi pushed open the door of the Mirage and stepped inside.

Hundreds and thousands of candlesticks lit up faintly with his arrival, illuminating the huge mirage as if it were daytime.

On the wall facing the gate, at the center of the Hundred Demons Scroll, is a self-portrait of Uesugi Kiyoshi wearing an embroidered Wu costume, an ink-colored feather ornament, a sharp sword hanging from his waist, and a look of disdain, which makes him even more imposing than his real self - he had seen this self-portrait before, and it had not changed much.

And just behind him was a black and white array of hundreds of ghosts.

Before, he had accumulated enough mirage to light up the scroll of the Inugami, and now, in addition to the tall and mighty Inugami, there was a little loli behind him.

She looks petite, but has a great figure. She wears a green and white yukata, and has a heart-warming smile on her face - her eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as Nohara Anko's, completely different from Yingcao in the previous life's game.

Uesugi Qing frowned, a little confused. Just when he wanted to communicate with the Hundred Demons Scroll to see what was going on, he suddenly felt his body trembling slightly. He was startled and thought that someone was attacking from the outside world. He opened his eyes with a thought.

Then he was a little embarrassed - was Nohara Anko still in his arms at this time? The little girl lowered her head, and even the night could not hide the blush on her cheeks. The trembling feeling that Uesugi Kiyoshi just noticed was Nohara Anko trembling.

Nohara Anko's face was covered with tears as she was hugged by Uesugi Kiyoshi, who was touching her little head with one hand. If an uninformed passerby saw her, they would probably think that he was a hooligan who had robbed a woman.

Uesugi Kiyoshi quickly let go of his hand, took a few steps back, and apologized in a low voice.

"I'm sorry, Xingzi, I'm rude."

He was somewhat speechless, as it was obvious that he was taking advantage of the girl. He couldn't come up with any excuses and could only apologize sincerely.

Nohara Anko lowered her eyes and shook her head repeatedly, indicating that she didn't take it to heart - she was actually still a little reluctant in her heart, although she was trembling with shyness just now, but Uesugi-kun's arms were really warm!

Just like my father’s arms when I was a child!

If I could always be treated so gently by Uesugi-kun, then no matter how tragic the future is, I would have the courage to face it!

No. If Uesugi-kun is here, I'm afraid there won't be any tragic future.

I. If I.

No wonder the girls in my class are so keen on the topic of love. It turns out that it feels so good to have someone you can rely on.

Nohara Anko was lost in thought with her head down, and Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't know whether she heard his apology or not. But it was already late at night, and if he kept dawdling like that, he might miss the last train, so he had no choice but to speak.

"Kyoko, let's go to my house first."

"It's going to be a long train ride, shall we go to the station first?"

Nohara Anzi murmured and could not utter a word, but just nodded silently. After getting her tacit consent, Uesugi Kiyoshi breathed a sigh of relief and led the way.

At the same time, in the underground parking lot near the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Akutagawa Ryunosuke walked towards his black Toyota with an inexplicable smile on his face. He was in a good mood.

Choices are two-way.

In his eyes, today's Uesugi Kiyoshi performed flawlessly, remained calm in the face of honor or disgrace, and knew when to advance and retreat. He did not look like a teenager of fifteen or sixteen years old, which was a big plus. If he was just strong in strength but had a bad character, Akutagawa Ryunosuke would not have chosen to come into contact with Uesugi Kiyoshi. They are an organization of extraordinary people, not a nursery.

Moreover, Uesugi Kiyoshi did not show any obvious resistance or rejection to the Collectors Association, which means there is room for discussion.

Although he has been dealing with ghosts and gods for many years, he has only been rooted in Tokyo for a few years on behalf of the Collectors Association. The Collectors Association is an international organization, and their headquarters is not in Japan. In fact, Japan is a region that the Collectors Association does not have a high degree of control over, and they are too short of manpower.

If the association was not wealthy, the quality of its field staff was not low, Akutagawa Ryunosuke was indeed a capable man, and Kudo Yu's family also had a significant influence in the police force, the Collectibles Association would probably have been squeezed out by the extraordinary organizations under the government and was in a difficult situation.

If Uesugi Kiyoshi could join the Collectors Association, he would really get a great help - he was not only referring to Uesugi Kiyoshi's extraordinary combat power, he also had other considerations.

Thinking about what happened today, Akutagawa Ryunosuke suddenly felt a sense of alarm. He paused, his face solemn, and slammed the black jade cane in his hand to the ground. A wisp of inky mist wafted out from the cane, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Next to his Toyota, there stood a figure quietly.

The lighting in the underground parking lot was dim, but not so dim that you couldn't see your hand in front of you. Akutagawa Ryunosuke squinted his eyes and after seeing the figure clearly, his expression changed several times. Finally, his hostility disappeared and he walked towards the figure with a fake smile.

"Excuse me, is Kamiizumi Jianhao waiting for me?"

The man was wearing a simple kendo uniform and holding an ebony sword in his arms. He was standing lazily against the car body, but he stood there with his eyes closed. When Akutagawa Ryunosuke looked over, it was as if he saw a sharp sword unsheathed.

The chilling sword energy and murderous intent emanated from this elegant middle-aged man, lingering around Akutagawa Ryunosuke, making his hair stand on end and his bones shudder, like a prey being targeted by a predator.

This was none other than Uesugi Kiyoshi's mentor, the head of the Shinkage-ryu school, Kamiizumi Hidekawa.

This astonishing murderous aura was not an illusion of Akutagawa Ryunosuke. Kamiizumi Hidekawa was a world-renowned swordsman. His "sword intent" and "sword heart" were as clear as a mirror and unmatchedly sharp. Although Akutagawa Ryunosuke was confident in his own strength, he still felt insecure facing this legendary undefeated swordsman. If a real fight broke out, if he wanted to escape, it would depend on whether Izumi Hidekawa would let him go and save face for the Collectors Association and the Akutagawa family.

Hearing Ryunosuke Akutagawa's words, Hidekawa Kamiizumi, who was dozing off, opened his eyes slightly, and there seemed to be thousands of dazzling sword lights flashing in his eyes. He glanced at Ryunosuke Akutagawa indifferently and snorted softly.

"You are the linker of this generation of the Akutagawa family? You have the final say over the Tokyo branch of the Collectibles Association?"

Kamiizumi Hidekawa asked a question, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke bowed politely and answered.

"It is me. What advice do you have for me, Shangquan Jianhao?"

Hidekawa Kamiizumi's demeanor today was completely different from his usual lazy and casual demeanor. He had a stern look on his face and a suspicious expression. He held a wooden sword in his arms and took a few steps towards Ryunosuke Akutagawa with a bad look.

"Then do you know that even your father would have to bow respectfully and stay away from me when he saw me, not daring to provoke me at all?"

Chapter 39 Questioning

Although Ryunosuke Akutagawa is still very young, he has become the "chairman" of the Tokyo branch of the Collectors Association and is the person in charge of the entire organization. Naturally, he is not a reckless person.

He could tell that something was wrong with Quan Xiuchuan's tone, and he felt a little guilty, so he immediately bowed ninety degrees, performed a great salute, then stood up and spoke respectfully with a smile.

"I have bowed and saluted, so do you want me to retreat next?"

Kamiizumi Hidekawa sneered and said, "You're dreaming."

He stopped five steps away from Akutagawa Ryunosuke. At this distance, if he swung the wooden sword in his hand, Akutagawa Ryunosuke would definitely be cut into two pieces by one stroke.

Even if he was using a wooden sword, even if Akutagawa Ryunosuke was a powerful transcendent who could handle regional-level disasters alone, it would not change the outcome.

The gap in strength between the two is really big.

Hidekawa Kamiizumi did not draw his knife. He was not here to kill anyone. If he wanted to kill someone, he was sure that he could take away Ryunosuke Akutagawa's gourd in the instant he had no time to react!

"You are a man of insight, boy from the Akutagawa family. You should know that everyone says it is hard to find a good teacher, but those of us who have been teachers know that it is hard to find a good teacher, and it is even harder to find a good apprentice."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke nodded with his smile unchanged and said softly, "I know."

Japanese culture has been greatly influenced by China, and the country is one that respects teachers. Japanese teachers have a very high social status. But let's not talk about other industries. In the world of kendo, especially in the ancient kendo schools, it is indeed difficult to recruit a satisfactory disciple, especially the kind that one expects to pass on and carry forward the skills. It is even more difficult to find.

Qualifications, conduct, and personality must all be excellent; none of them can be missing. Otherwise, if you raise an ungrateful person and break the inheritance of the school, you would not be able to face your ancestors even in the underworld. Such things are not uncommon in history.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was the candidate for his last disciple that Kamiizumi Hidekawa had been testing for a year and was very satisfied with. Just when he was about to shamelessly ask his old friend for a piece of top-quality Kenshin Seed so that he could formally lead his disciple on the path of practicing extraordinary swordsmanship, he suddenly learned from his old friend in the Metropolitan Police Department that Uesugi Kiyoshi had been invited to Sakuradamon.

He almost couldn't hold back his rage and drew his sword to chop at the man.

He has been cultivating his character in recent years and has become a bit lazy. When he was young, he was a killer who was feared in the Tokyo kendo world. His temper is not that good.

He knew Uesugi Kiyoshi's character and he was definitely not someone who would cause trouble. Now that he was detained by the police, it must be that group of scum from the Sakurada clan who had a problem!

Kamiizumi Hidekawa really thought so. He was extremely protective of his daughter and his apprentice as well.

So he hurried to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, but did not go to rescue his apprentice first. This kind of thing must be solved from the root. After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter through his accumulated connections, Kamiizumi Hidekawa went straight to block Akutagawa Ryunosuke's men.
