He understood Guina's dream, but he also knew that this path was too difficult for a woman.
Especially in the East China Sea, the weakest sea, it can be said that there is no hope in one's lifetime.
Koshiro sighed and was about to turn around and leave when the door of the dojo creaked open.
Bai Ye, Nami, Nojigo and Kaya entered one after another. They were attracted by the warm atmosphere in the dojo and stopped to watch.
Kuina noticed something strange, retracted her attack and turned around. Her eyes swept over the four people, finally stopping on the long sword at Bai Ye's waist.
As a swordsman, she has a keen intuition with the knife.
"Who are you?"
Kuina stepped forward, a hint of caution in her tone.
Bai Ye smiled slightly and introduced himself: "My name is Bai Ye. I was passing by here and heard that the Isshin Dojo in Shimotsuki Village is famous, so I came to visit."
Koshiro stepped forward and nodded slightly to Bai Ye and the others: "Welcome to Isshin Dojo. If you don't mind, please feel free to come."
Nami and Nokiko's eyes sparkled as they looked around curiously.
Ke Ya stood aside a little shyly.
Bai Ye turned his gaze towards Kuina and said, "I just saw that you are very skilled in swordsmanship. Could you please teach me a thing or two?"
A hint of excitement flashed in Kuina's eyes. She had long been eager to compete with masters and improve herself.
"I can't ask for it!"
She agreed without hesitation.
The two men came to the center of the dojo, and everyone consciously made way and formed a circle.
Kuina gripped the wooden sword tightly, took a stance, her eyes full of determination.
Bai Ye slowly pulled out the Mirror Flower and Water Moon from his waist. His movements seemed casual, but they revealed a fierce aura.
"please!"
Kuina was the first to attack. Her figure was as fast as the wind, and her wooden sword left a trail of afterimages as she headed straight for Bai Ye's face.

Chapter 177: It’s normal to have some “physical contact” when communicating, right?
Bai Ye faced Kuina's fierce attack with a faint smile on his face.
He slightly turned his body and avoided the sharp wooden sword's afterimage as lightly as a wisp of green smoke.
Kuina's attack was swift, and every time she swung her sword, there was a whistling sound in the wind, but Bai Ye always managed to find a flaw at the critical moment.
When Kuina chopped at him with all her strength, Bai Ye did not choose to take it head-on, but instead rushed forward.
His left hand rested lightly on Kuina's wrist holding the knife, seemingly trying to use it to relieve the force, but in fact his fingertips were lightly caressing her delicate skin.
Kuina only felt a strange tingling sensation in her wrist. This unprecedented feeling made her heart tremble, and the strength in her hand also stagnated slightly.
"Be careful."
Bai Ye reminded softly, and the warm breath sprayed on Kuina's ears, causing her ears to turn red instantly.
She tried to pull her hand back in panic, but found that Bai Ye's hand seemed gentle, but in fact it held her firmly like an iron clamp.
Koshiro stood aside, watching Bai Ye's actions, nodding secretly in his heart, thinking that Bai Ye was relying on his rich experience to prevent Kuina from getting hurt.
At this time, Nami and Nojiko's cheeks were blushing as they watched from the side.
Nojigo nudged Nami lightly with his elbow and whispered, "Look at Brother Bai Ye, he must have done it on purpose."
Nami blushed and spat, "Humph, Brother Bai Ye looks serious, but actually he has that kind of thoughts in his mind."
Ke Ya covered her slightly hot cheeks with her hands, staring at the two people in the field, her eyes full of shyness and curiosity.
The duel in the field continued. Kuina took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in her heart, and launched an attack again.
She moved nimbly, and the wooden sword attacked Bai Ye from different angles.
Bai Ye's figure was graceful, and the mirror flowers and water moons in his hands occasionally moved lightly.
Most of the time, he relied on his exquisite body movements and just the right touch to neutralize Kuina's attacks.
Once again, Kuina swept across, and Bai Ye jumped up, twisting his body skillfully in the air.
When he fell, his body was almost pressed against Kuina's back, with one hand around Kuina's waist to stabilize their bodies.
Kuina's body stiffened, and she felt the warmth coming from behind her, her heart beating like thunder.
"Feel sorry."
Bai Ye said softly.
But there was not much apology in his tone, instead there was a barely perceptible smile.
Kuina bit her lower lip, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed, but for some reason, she was vaguely looking forward to this different kind of contact.
Under the complicated gazes of the crowd, this confrontation, which seemed to be a competition but was actually full of ambiguity, continued.
Guina calmed herself down and secretly warned herself not to let Bai Ye disturb her mind again.
She suddenly exerted force to break free from Bai Ye's arm, then turned around and swung the wooden sword from bottom to top with a fierce momentum.
The attack was extremely fast and powerful, and there was even a "hissing" sound of breaking wind in the air.
Bai Ye was calm and composed, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
He leaned back slightly, his body bent into an incredible arc.
Kuina's wooden sword passed along his collar, and he could almost feel the cool breeze brought by the blade.
Just when Kuina used too much force in her move and her body center of gravity was unstable.
Bai Ye reached out his hand, gently held her arm, and pulled her into his arms.
Their bodies instantly fit together.
Kuina only felt her cheek pressed tightly against Bai Ye's chest, and could clearly hear his steady and strong heartbeat.
Her eyes widened, the blush on her face quickly spread to her neck, and her mind went blank.
"Accepted."
Bai Ye's voice sounded above her head, and his warm breath ruffled her hair. Kuina suddenly woke up from her dream and tried to push Bai Ye away in panic.
However, Bai Ye did not let her go immediately. Instead, he used a little force to let her body stay in his arms for a while longer before slowly letting go.
Nami watched anxiously from the side, her hands clenched into fists, and she muttered, "Brother Bai Ye, you are so blatant."
Nojiko smirked and said teasingly, "But Kuina-nee-sama doesn't seem to be resisting much."
Ke Ya had already buried her face in her hands out of shame, and only dared to secretly observe the situation in the field through the gaps between her fingers.
At this time, Koshiro also noticed the strange atmosphere.
He frowned slightly, thinking to himself that the young man's behavior seemed a little too intimate.
But he also understood that physical contact was inevitable during the competition.
And looking at Bai Ye's swordsmanship, it is indeed very clever. Perhaps he is just guiding Kuina in his own way.
Kuina took a few deep breaths and tried to calm herself down.
She raised the wooden sword again, her eyes burning with fighting spirit. This time she decided not to hold back and to go all out.
Bai Ye seemed to have sensed Kuina's determination. He put away the smile on his face and his expression became serious.
He gently shook the Mirror Flower Water Moon in his hand, and a faint cold light appeared on the blade, as if announcing its sharpness to his opponent.
The two confronted each other again, and the atmosphere was tense.
Suddenly, Kuina moved. She rushed towards Bai Ye like a cheetah, swinging the wooden sword tightly, and every blow carried the momentum of a fatal blow.
Bai Ye was concentrating on responding. His steps were light and agile, and he moved freely among Kuina's attacks.
During a fierce confrontation, the two men's weapons collided with each other, making a loud "clang" sound.
The huge impact made Kuina's arm numb slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to take a step back to adjust.
However, Bai Ye took this opportunity and quickly got close to her.
One hand held her knife-holding wrist, and the other rested lightly on her shoulder.
Kuina's breathing became rapid and she looked up at Bai Ye.
Their eyes met in the air, and for a moment, everything around them seemed to stop.
They only had eyes for each other, and Kuina saw a light in Bai Ye's eyes that made her heart beat faster.
That light seemed to contain endless tenderness and appreciation.
Bai Ye's mouth curled up slightly, and he said softly: "Your swordsmanship is excellent, but it's not enough."
As he spoke, his fingers gently stroked the back of Kuina's hand, and the gentle touch made Kuina's heart beat wildly again.
"So what's enough?"
Kuina didn't know where she got the courage from, but she looked directly into Bai Ye's eyes and asked.
Bai Ye did not answer immediately, but lowered his head slightly.
His lips were almost touching Kuina's ear, and he whispered, "When you can cut the sea with a knife."
These words passed through Kuina's body like an electric current. Her body trembled slightly, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.
She had never thought that she would have such a wonderful feeling with a strange man during a sword fight.
At this time, everyone else in the dojo was enveloped in this ambiguous atmosphere, and Nami, Nojiko and Kaya all had red faces.
Koshiro shook his head helplessly. He knew that Bai Ye's strength was indeed extraordinary.
Although Bai Ye did not take the initiative to attack, he was just dodging.
But that kind of relaxed and carefree look is not something that ordinary people can achieve.
Just as everyone was immersed in this subtle atmosphere.
Bai Ye suddenly let go of Kuina, took a step back, and the faint smile returned to his face.
"Let's end our sparring together for today. I look forward to fighting you next time."
Bai Ye said.
Kuina nodded slightly, feeling a little disappointed and expectant at the same time.
"Then can I come to you later to discuss swordsmanship?"
Kuina blinked her big eyes and looked at Bai Ye with anticipation.
Bai Ye was slightly startled, then a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "Of course, Kuina."
When Kuina heard this, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, and her cheeks, which were originally red due to the intense exercise, became even more beautiful.
Koshiro stepped forward, looking back and forth between Byakuya and Kuina, and said:
"In that case, Mr. Bai Ye, if you don't mind, please stay in the dojo for a while."
"Kuina, having the opportunity to communicate with a master like you will surely be of great benefit to her swordsmanship."
Bai Ye bowed slightly and responded politely, "Thank you for bothering me."
Nami and Nokiko came to Bai Ye, and Nami said in a feigned anger:
"Brother Bai Ye, you really went too far just now. You even bullied Kuina like that."
Nojigo nodded in agreement, with a mischievous smile on his face.
Bai Ye smiled helplessly and explained, "I was just guiding her during the sparring. I didn't mean to offend her."
Kaya also came over and whispered, "I think... Sister Kuina doesn't seem to dislike Mr. Baiye."
After saying that, she lowered her head shyly again...
Kuina heard everyone's conversation and her face instantly turned red. She coughed lightly and said:
"Alright, everyone, please stop standing. Mr. Bai Ye, please come with me to put away the luggage."
As he said that, he took the lead and walked towards the residence of the dojo.
