At the time of the dark, Li Xiaodong pretended to be Yusuke Yamamoto's personal entourage and entered the palace with him.

The emperor's residence was heavily guarded, and even a wealthy man like Yusuke Yamamoto, who had dealings with the imperial family, had to go through layers of inspections on the way into the palace, and in addition to the gifts he carried, mobile phones, lighters, including wallets and cards, etc., had to be temporarily handed over for storage.

Entering the inner palace, the two of them were like master and servants, walking all the way to the shrine and temple at the foot of Mount Kinabalu.

Hachiro Hirakawa, who was smiling, was already waiting for guests in front of the shrine.

He has known Yusuke Yamamoto for many years, and the Koizumi family has cooperated with the Broken Water Stream sect behind Hirakawa Hachiro, and in addition to this relationship, the two of them have been drinking friends for many years.

The two met, and after a little greeting, Hirakawa Hachiro invited the guests into the side hall and came to a Japanese-style wing room on the second floor.

The guest of honor sat down on his knees in a small square, while Li Xiaodong stood in the corner behind the mountain itself, dressed in a black suit, with his hands folded in front of his abdomen, just like a conscientious entourage.

"Yamamoto-kun, is this young man new to you?" said Hachiro Hirakawa, taking out a set of precious purple sand tea sets from his side.

"Ah, you said he, his name is Jian Landong, he is very diligent in his work, and his character is also very good, I trust him more......" Although Yamamoto knew that Hirakawa Hachiro had never dealt with Li Xiaodong, he was just a little nervous, worried that he would find out Li Xiaodong's identity.

Hirakawa Hachiro was not suspicious, nodded slowly, and then looked at Li Xiaodong a few times.

He felt that although this young man was inferior and his appearance was very mediocre, he exuded an invisible temperament that seemed to be extraordinary.

"Ahem, Jian Landong, you go out first, I have tea with Mr. Pingchuan, I don't need you to stay here, I will call you if there is something." ”

Hirakawa Hachiro is a cultivator after all, and Yusuke Yamamoto was worried that if he looked a little more, he would find out that Li Xiaodong was using a disguise mask, so he coughed and wanted to break Li Xiaodong away.

"No need, Yamamoto-kun, since this Mr. Jian Lan Dong has won your appreciation, he must be a rare young talent, it is better to sit down and drink tea together. Hirakawa Hachiro said lightly, took an extra teacup, and washed it with hot water.

After he said this, Yusuke Yamamoto didn't want to say more, Li Xiaodong saw it in his eyes, bowed slightly and thanked him, and then knelt down beside Yamamoto.

The three of them slowly tasted tea, Li Xiaodong remained silent, after a round of tea, Li Xiaodong did not have any vision, and Yusuke Yamamoto, who was still a little nervous, gradually became more and more down-to-earth.

"Ha, is Her Royal Highness Yumiko okay lately? Last time Miss Yumiko was sick, I visited her, but unfortunately Miss Yumiko closed her door and has been recuperating in bed, I haven't seen her for a long time, I wonder how she is now?" asked Yusuke Yamamoto.

"Yumiko she ......"

Hirakawa Hachiro hesitated for a moment, lifted the small teapot and refilled some tea for the guests, before continuing: "To be honest, although Yumiko has recovered her health, she has lost all her skills, and now she is no longer practicing martial arts, I just ask her to cultivate her self-cultivation, read books or play the piano every day." ”

Yusuke Yamamoto let out a long sigh and nodded.

He subconsciously glanced at Li Xiaodong beside him, and said in his heart that this Mr. Xiaodong is too terrible, and he doesn't know what demon method he used, although he didn't kill Miss Yumiko, but he scattered her skills, and he used such a means to treat a strong enemy, although it is not cruel, but it is very effective, and it is really awe-inspiring.

"Yumiko is much quieter now, maybe it's because she has gone through an ordeal that makes her more like a woman than before, and now she is very indifferent, basically she doesn't leave the palace, either to accompany me here, or to accompany His Majesty the Emperor, these days, she is busy with the affairs of the Emperor's birthday. ”

Yusuke Yamamoto nodded after hearing this, and quickly took the teacup handed over.

"Master, Master, are you there......"

At this time, the door of the wing room was opened from the outside, and Yumiko Sagawa, dressed in a kimono like snow, with bangs coiled, appeared at the door.

Seeing her suddenly appear, her bright appearance seemed to be better than before, Li Xiaodong's heart jumped inexplicably, and a complicated feeling was born.

Like him, at first glance when she saw Li Xiaodong's figure, Yumiko's heart jumped suddenly, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She remembered Li Xiaodong's figure, the man who occupied her for the first time, even if he turned to ashes, she would recognize it, but although the man in front of her was very similar, his appearance was ......

Yumiko gradually calmed down, and suddenly a feeling of emptiness suddenly arose in her heart.

"Come in, it just so happens that Mr. Yamamoto is visiting, you haven't seen each other for a long time, you come to make tea for Mr. Yamamoto. Hachiro Hirakawa smiled.

Yumiko bowed slightly, "Hi." ”

Then he took small steps and entered the room.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Her Royal Highness Yumiko is a daughter, how can you make tea for an ordinary man like Yamamoto?" Yusuke Yamamoto was a little anxious, if Yumiko and Li Xiaodong sat together, would they see through the true face of the enemy?

Hirakawa Hachiro twisted his beard and smiled: "Yamamoto-kun doesn't have to be polite, in my place, Yumiko is just my disciple, I am her master, you are my old friend, she should respect you." ”

"It's ......" Yamamoto was a little embarrassed.

"By the way, let me introduce you, this gentleman is a young talent who is deeply appreciated by Mr. Yamamoto, Mr. Gladiolus. Hachiro Hirakawa introduced.

Yumiko knelt down, bowed lightly and said, "Hello, Mr. Jian Landong, please take care of you when you meet for the first time." ”

As she spoke, she couldn't help but quietly raise her eyes and glance at the unfamiliar face.

It was a mediocre and slightly ugly face, without any impression, and Yumiko's disappointment was even greater.

"Hello, Miss Yumiko......" Li Xiaodong replied slightly, and then sat upright, looking at his nose and nose, and never spoke casually.

"Master, leave it to me. After a brief greeting, Yumiko took the tea set and made tea for the guests.

Her tea-making technique is smooth, her posture is dignified and elegant, obviously after years of training by famous teachers, compared to Hirakawa Hachiro, she makes tea more pleasing to the eye.

In front of Yumiko, Hirakawa Hachiro stopped talking about Yumiko, he chatted with Yusuke Yamamoto about family life, and also talked about the emperor's upcoming birthday.

During the whole process, Li Xiaodong didn't squint, just silently sipped tea.

And Yumiko also kept her demure and did not speak.

It's just that she has a subtle intuition, the strange man next to her, his figure, his smell, and even his calm demeanor, always feel similar to the demon who raped her, so she is always secretly observing.
