She knew what daughter meant.

That means "neither can I."

But Ningning from Fenghuangyuan was still very confused, but now was obviously not the time to talk about such things in detail.

She thought about it, condensed all her questions into one sentence, and asked it.

"Fuyao, what do you like about that Uesugi-kun?"

"I did some research on him. Although he is very good, he is not someone you would fall in love with at first sight, right?"

"My daughter, I understand you. You won't fall in love with him just because he's good-looking, right?"

Ningning from the Phoenix Courtyard's words were somewhat teasing, but Li Fuyao didn't mean to be joking.

He tapped his forehead and thought about it very seriously, then Li Fuyao's mouth curled up into a sweet, nostalgic and touching smile.

"If you have to give a reason, he is willing to die for me. Does that count?"

Ning Ning from the Phoenix Courtyard was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Fuyao, don't become love-brained. Don't believe all the sweet words from boys. Even a fool like your father will find ways to coax me."

Li Fuyao shook his head quickly, the smile in his eyes almost overflowing.

"No, it's not."

"He has never said anything like that to me, and he is not good at sweet talk."

“He just”

"I did."

Chapter 118 Waiting for you to come back

The same evening.

The office building of the Collectibles Association is filled with black business cars.

Maki Toufumi got out of the car, and Kamishi next to her immediately opened an umbrella.

Kagura, who got out of another car with a pale face, also walked behind Toufu Maki.

Looking further back, there were dozens of samurai dressed in kimonos, led by the chief of the shrine guards, Takuma Kameyama.

Touwen Maki looked back at the retainers behind her, calmed down her surging emotions, turned to Kagura and asked with concern: "Kagura, are you really okay?"

"It won't hurt to take a short break. Our chances of winning today are not low. You don't have to force yourself to fight."

A somewhat forced smile appeared on Kagura's pale face, who was dressed in a shrine maiden's costume.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I'm fine."

"This is a crucial battle for His Highness. As an important retainer left by the president for His Highness, I cannot be absent!"

"."

"That's weird. I remember that I only had a few shallow knife wounds on my body. Why are my ribs broken? Could it be that the fight between Miss Kamiizumi and the Kuki brothers affected me?"

Kagura rubbed the wound in some confusion, grimacing in pain, but immediately pretended to be indifferent, trying to reassure Toufu Maki.

If it were in the past, Touwen Maki would most likely let this friend who grew up with her, who was called a retainer but was actually a childhood sweetheart, to have a good rest.

She wouldn't do that now.

This is a betrayal of Kagura's friendship.

What she needs to do now is to protect the injured Kagura and her subordinates who are fighting loyally for her, and then win.

This is the duty and responsibility as a leader, and it is also what Uesugi Kiyoshi taught her.

That was her purpose alone.

Turning around, Touwen Maki no longer hesitated and took a deep breath.

There was a serious and determined look on her pretty face.

"Let's go and see the gentleman."

In the apartment upstairs, in front of the large transparent floor-to-ceiling window, Uesugi Kiyoshi sat cross-legged on a cushion.

He has been sitting here for two hours.

At first, he meditated for a short while, and after his mind calmed down temporarily, he watched the rain in front of the window.

The rapid raindrops that seemed to never stop outlined an abstract changing picture on the floor-to-ceiling window, just like the countless thoughts surging in his mind.

Will he win? What trump card does Dong Wenyu have? Is there any connection between the Demon King Shuten and the Hundred Demons Scroll? Can the reinforcements of Jiulong really be cut off? Can Dong Wen Maki successfully control the Dong Wen Association?

The future is made up of countless unknown points, making it difficult to see clearly.

People always worry about gains and losses.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was no exception, so he sat in meditation and adjusted his mind before the battle.

His master once taught him how to manage his emotions. It took him two hours to finally put aside all the complicated and chaotic thoughts, leaving only the sword heart and the murderous intent.

At this moment, Nohara Anzi came over with small steps and whispered behind Uesugi Kiyoshi, "Uesugi-kun, Kudo-kun called and said that Miss Dongwen is here. Should we ask them to come up?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi suddenly stood up and glanced at the clock on the wall.

The clock was almost pointing to seven o'clock. The sky outside the window was dark and the rain was pouring down.

Well, it’s a good weather for killing people and slaying demons.

The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a confident and gentle smile, which stunned Nohara Anzi beside him, and then she lowered her head with a blushing face.

"No need, I'll go down and find them."

"Rin, stop eating, let's go."

Sitting on the sofa, Ueizumi Rin was holding a large box of cookies baked for her by Nohara Anzu, and she was eating them happily. There was no tension at all before the battle.

This mentality even made Uesugi Kiyoshi a little envious.

Rin Kamiizumi responded, skipped to the door, put on his shoes, easily picked up the heavy sheathed sword beside him, and put it on his back.

This Nodachi is three inches longer than the Nodachi of the Kuki brothers. It is the largest Nodachi in the Collectors Association's arsenal. Last night, Akutagawa Ryunosuke came very considerately to ask the two swordsmen if they wanted a handy weapon, and Kamiizumi Rin picked such a weapon.

Uesugi Kiyoshi seemed to be able to imagine what kind of bloody storm Uesugi Rin, who was extremely powerful and could be called a human-shaped Tyrannosaurus, would cause with such a powerful weapon in hand.

I'm afraid it's an absolute meat grinder on the battlefield.

Uesugi Kiyomiya took a katana from the sword rack and put it on his waist.

This is not Onikiri, but a standard sword of the Collectibles Association. It does not fall into the category of collectibles, but it can also be regarded as a fine work produced by a famous craftsman.

Ghost Cut should be used as a trump card and should not be shown to others easily.

This knife is enough to deal with those people and ghosts that block the way.

Dressed neatly and with a sword at his waist, Uesugi Kiyoshi walked out of the door and turned to Nohara Anko with a softer smile.

"Xingzi, I'm going to do something."

Nohara Anzi kept fiddling with the corners of her clothes with her hands, her face a little complicated, but she didn't say the words of dissuasion she wanted to say. She just bowed and said softly, "Please be careful on the road."

"Also, I wish you good luck in martial arts!"

"Uesugi-kun, I will always be here waiting for you to come back!"

The girl's eyes were red, but she was holding back her tears in order not to worry Uesugi Kiyoshi.

Uesugi Kiyoshi had never hidden anything about ghosts and gods from her. Uesugi Kiyoshi felt that her uncle's family had died at the hands of ghosts and gods, and she had the right to know.

In a sense, it was he who killed Yokotano, and he didn't care even if Nohara Kyoko would resent him if she knew the truth.

He doesn't want to lie.

Therefore, Nohara Anko knew very well that when Uesugi Kiyoshi went there, he would not only have to face the extremely vicious Yakuza, but he might also have to face the mysterious ghosts and gods that only appeared in mythological stories.

She was very worried, so worried that she couldn't sleep the whole night last night. She was afraid, what should she do if something happened to Uesugi Kiyoshi?

He was her support in her suffering, the only light in her gloomy life, and the first person she fell in love with.

She thought about it all night but couldn't figure it out. She just got dark circles under her eyes. The next day, she got up early, made breakfast for Uesugi Kiyoshi, and made a lot of snacks for Kamiizumi Rin.

It was the only thing she could do.

In her heart, she wanted to tell Uesugi Kiyoshi not to take risks, but she couldn't say it out loud. In Japan, men in the family are supposed to go out and work hard, and a woman's duty is to silently support her man behind the scenes.

Kyoko Nohara got into the role very quickly.

She hid all her worries deep in her heart, forced a smile and sent her blessings.

At the same time, an idea that I had never had before arose in my heart.

If I could become as powerful as A-Rin, I could help Uesugi-kun.

Uesugi Kiyoshi pushed his glasses on his nose, lowered his eyes, and gently touched Anzi's little head.

"It's okay, Kyoko. I'm strong. It's my enemies who should be worried about."

"Wait for me to come back for supper~"

He tried his best to keep his tone light, and after saying a few simple words, he turned around without hesitation and disappeared at the end of the corridor with Rin Kamiizumi, who showed no strange expression at all.

He didn't need to say much, just coming back safely would make Nohara Anko feel at ease.

He is confident that he can do this.

Chapter 119 The Battle Begins

Walking out of the stairwell, sitting on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor, Uesugi Kiyoshi saw from afar Akutagawa Ryunosuke chatting and laughing with Toufu Maki, and Kudo Yuichi was also standing beside them.

He and Kamiizumi Rin walked over quickly, nodded to everyone as a greeting, and asked directly, "Are you all ready?"

When Touwen Maki saw him coming, she immediately lost interest in talking to Akutagawa Ryunosuke and stood up to reply.

"Sir, I have gathered all the forces I can trust. Kagura and Kamishi are also ready and can set off at any time."

This was expected, and Uesugi Kiyoshi turned his attention to Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

The president of the Collectors Association raised his eyebrows frivolously.

"Don't look at me like that, Uesugi-kun. I'm very positive."
