Facing Uesugi Kiyoshi's sincere gaze, Li Fuyao's eyes changed several times, some sympathy, some pity, and some reluctance, and finally turned into gentle starlight, and was gathered into a pair of phoenix eyes.

She whispered: "If. I mean, if"

"If one day, I fall into the same situation as Miss Dong Wen, will you help me like you helped her?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded without even thinking about it.

Then he quickly shook his head again.

"No, I won't. As long as I'm here, I will never watch you become like that."

A confident smile gradually appeared in Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyes.

"I don't have many friends, but I will never watch a friend die in front of me."

"Otherwise, wouldn't all this sword skills have been learned in vain?"

Li Fuyao looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi's spirited face and revealed a nostalgic smile.

"Qing, has anyone ever told you that you are good at deceiving girls?"

"What you just said made me a little moved~"

Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression froze, and he lowered his head slightly in embarrassment.

“I’m not lying to girls.”

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Fuyao with a smile.

"Yeah, that's right."

"You don't have to lie to a girl. When she likes you enough, she will lie to herself~"

After saying this meaningfully, Li Fuyao stood up lightly without giving Uesugi Kiyoshi a chance to explain himself.

She walked into her study, looked around at the ink paintings hanging on the wall, her back turned to Uesugi Kiyoshi, and her smiling voice echoed in the room.

"Qing, I'm helping you for a reason."

"I told you, I like listening to stories."

"The various aspects of the world and the fickleness of human nature are all my spiritual food."

"I'll just point at them or something~"

Li Fuyao waved his hand gently, indicating the paintings all over the room, turned around, and looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi with pride.

"I will draw interesting stories and let them be passed down for generations."

“It is a pity that some magnificent stories are lost in the mundane world.”

At this point, Li Fuyao's tone changed, becoming full of anticipation and excitement.

"Qing, I have a hunch."

"you"

"It will be the most interesting story I have ever written~"

Chapter 107: Spear and Sword

When Uesugi Kiyoshi pushed open the door, a small wine gourd was already hanging around his waist.

At a glance, he saw Kudo Yuichi standing under the eaves by the wall, holding an umbrella alone, with a half-burned cigarette in his other hand, puffing away without any scruples.

"The law states that minors cannot smoke."

Uesugi Kiyoshi walked up jokingly.

You can tell who he is by his voice. Kudo Yuichi didn't even turn around. He blew out a smoke ring and said with a smile: "The law also stipulates that murder must be sentenced."

"When it's time to kill, shouldn't you kill him?"

He glanced at Uesugi Kiyoshi and shrugged.

"Get used to it, Qing. At least in this country, the law doesn't exist in the eyes of the privileged class."

"."

"Tobacco helps with thinking--want one?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi refused without even thinking about it.

He didn't like the feeling of the pungent and choking smell filling his nasal cavity.

Kudo Yuichi didn't care. He had a sharp eye and had already noticed the small wine gourd on Uesugi Kiyoshi's waist.

"What is this? A token of love?"

He walked around Uesugi Kiyoshi, bent down, and carefully looked at the wine gourd, marveling at it.

"It looks quite retro, an antique? Chinese people are just different from the girls in Tokyo. Isn't this a more useful gift than a love letter?"

Kudo Yuichi was hinting that he had helped a large number of female classmates send confession letters to Uesugi Kiyoshi.

Uesugi gave his friend a blank look and was too lazy to argue with him.

He had come to his senses. Looking at the ambiguous smile on Kudo Yuichi's face, Uesugi Kiyoshi grabbed his friend's shoulder with some confusion, raised his eyebrows, and looked at him with a playful and threatening look.

"I did find out, Yuichi."

"It was you who brought me and Kyoko together with your words, and it was you who made Maki Toufumi and I a family. Now you want to tie the knot for me again, right?"

"What is your intention?"

Kudo Yuichi was hit by Uesugi Seiichi and grimaced in pain, but the smile on his face did not change.

"Of course I want to see you get chopped by a hatchet."

He naturally gave a reason that shocked everyone.

Then, Kudo Yuichi laughed and denied what he had just said.

"Just kidding. Okay, now's not the time for small talk, right?"

"Honestly, Qing, I know you are an extraordinary swordsman, but I didn't expect you to be so strong. Tell me the truth, did you really lose the battle with that Celestial Empire guy just now, or were you being humble on purpose because you needed help from him on his territory?"

It was a very blunt way of changing the subject, but it successfully diverted Uesugi Kiyoshi's attention.

He gave a somewhat bitter smile.

"I don't want to lose if I can win. A sword can't beat a fist. If my master knew about this, he would probably be very disappointed. I'm sorry for his careful training."

"It's true that I lost half a move. When I used my fists and feet to fight him at the beginning, the sense of suppression he gave me was almost the same as when I used the sword to fight with my master - it was completely a suppression of realm, not a martial arts level of the same level."

"Then I used the sword and managed to fight. Maybe if I was half a point faster, I would have won."

Kudo Yuichi curled his lips and was slightly shocked.

"Don't be modest, that's Ye San."

"I never thought that Master Ye could be a teacher in Tai Sui Gang safely and securely. He was also a legendary figure who was famous in Kyoto."

Kudo Yuichi flicked the ash off his cigarette, his eyes filled with longing.

"About ten years ago, in the [Practitioner] circle in Tokyo, there were two rising stars who relied on their real skills to fight their way to the top. Someone gave them a nickname, the [Spear and Sword Duo]."

"The sword is the Xinyin Sword, and the spear is the Liuhe Spear of the Celestial Empire - yes, I'm talking about your master Shangquan Xiuchuan, and Ye San."

"How strong is Ye San? You can just compare him to your master. That Master Ye, with his Liuhe Spear and his pair of Eight-cut Sabers, has killed countless swordsmen on the spot."

"It was too long ago, I don't know the specifics, but it is said that Shangquan Jianhao and this Master Ye also fought, and the outcome is unknown."

"How long have you been learning swordsmanship? This level is enough."

"It looks like it won't be long before I can go out and brag that I have a swordsman friend."

Uesugi Kiyoshi heard this, but instead of feeling comforted, he frowned.

"Liuhe Spear? You must be mistaken. Are you sure it's not a stick? Liuhe Spear is not used by Wing Chun."

"and many more!"

"Is Li Taisui's surname Li?"

"No wonder he asked me to pay homage to the ancestors."

"Then the Liuhe Gun also makes sense."

Uesugi Kiyoshi muttered a few words, but he didn't seem to be too bothered by the matter.

"The stronger he is, the better. He will be present for tomorrow's operation. With such a strong man in charge, I think our chances of winning will be much better."

"Although we have a lot of forces at our disposal right now, I am still a little uneasy. I don't know how many ghosts from Dajiang Mountain will come out. If the Ghost King comes in person, it will be a big trouble."

"It is difficult for mortals to intervene in the battle between extraordinary people. Even if they are prepared, they still cannot be completely sure."

Kudo Yuichi nodded slightly in agreement.

"Indeed, so what are your plans for tomorrow?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi raised his hand and pointed. Wisps of gray-black mirage wrapped around his fingertips and, driven by his thoughts, formed a simple model in the air.

Kudo Yu had seen this power before and thought it was the "qi" cultivated by Uesugi Kiyoshi, so he didn't make a fuss.

"This is the topographical map of the Tobunkai headquarters that Tobun Maki gave me."

"In a traditional Japanese courtyard, different rooms are separated by layers. Although the area is not very large, the terrain is also very complex. If they had been prepared, it would have been a tough battle."

"Two side doors, a front door and a back door. I think it would be better to have four ways to enter."

"The courtyard there is quite narrow, and rushing in with a large number of people may not be a good thing. We should divide our forces and attack them, and then use the extraordinary people as the tip of the knife to directly behead Dong Wenyu."

"Those mortals will follow us, build a defense line, clean up the battlefield, and prevent the enemy's mortal reinforcements from rushing in, until we succeed."

Kudo Yuichi stared at the simple topographic map and nodded thoughtfully.

"Are you going to launch a surprise attack on Okehazama? Indeed, if Dong Wenyu dies, all that will be left will be a pile of loose sand."

"Akutagawa should be able to produce a few capable task force members. I can transfer some elite Butei to you, but the number won't be large."

"But it's hard to find more extraordinary reinforcements."

"I'll give the Metropolitan Police Department a heads-up. Although they can't intervene directly, Akutagawa will send investigators from the association to keep on alert. If other supernatural organizations come to get in the way, they can stop them, but they definitely won't be able to stop them for too long. We're in Tokyo, so we still have to abide by some rules and regulations."

"Here, no one dares to say that he can cover the sky with one hand."
