Nikta, Kyoto Mountain, Imperial Shrine.

In the spacious and plain main hall of the shrine, Yumiko Sagawa, dressed in a white kimono, knelt on the spotless wooden floor, motionless, with a katana horizontal in front of her, and the divine weapon thundered and cut.

In front of the statue of the god and Buddha in the main hall, an old priest wearing a white robe with wide sleeves, a black gauze round hat on his head, and a white long wooden board in both hands is slowly worshipping the statue of the god and Buddha.

He is the suzerain of the Broken Water Stream, and at the same time the priest and chief official of the Imperial Shrine, Hirakawa Hachiro.

He bowed to the idol and asked slowly, "You said he defeated you in just one move, and there was no room to fight back?"

Yumiko Sagawa knelt on the ground and said, "Hey, Li Xiaodong's strength is extremely high, and he has reached the legendary realm, Imperial Qi. ”

After hearing this, Hirakawa Hachiro couldn't help but stagnate slightly, and after a while, he continued to bow slowly and ask, "What did you see with your own eyes?"

"Hey, Yumiko saw with his own eyes, he activated the Qi Control Technique with a flick of his fingers, and closed Yumiko's acupoint with a strong jet of air. ”

Hirakawa Hachiro finished the worship, put down the sacrificial plank in his hand, turned around and said, "Okay, get up, you've done your best." ”

"Hi. Yumiko Sagawa lifted her body and sat upright, with a very solemn expression on her fair face.

"Yumiko's teacher is not good, and it is a shame for the teacher, please punish the teacher. She bowed again.

Hachiro Hirakawa looked at her calmly and said, "Let's go home." You are a royal princess, you should live freely and peacefully in the palace, and the grievances in the world should have nothing to do with you. Your grandfather came the day before yesterday, and he asked me, when will you be able to return to the palace after so many years of dedication to cultivation?"

Yumiko Sagawa said in surprise: "Master, Yumiko doesn't want to leave, Yumiko still wants revenge." ”

Hirakawa Hachiro said slowly: "Yumiko, since you have been defeated, you must sincerely admit defeat and not be obsessed again." What's more, your opponent has already reached the realm of imperial qi, and if you go for revenge, you will not be his opponent. ”

Yumiko Sagawa bowed her head and said, "Master, Yumiko is willing to spend another ten years of penance, and she will definitely be able to defeat him!"

Hirakawa Hachiro shook his head and said, "Even if you cultivate for another ten years, what can you do? Will your opponent stay where you are, waiting for you to surpass it?"

"Besides, the deadline for your cultivation has passed, and I promised your grandfather, your grandfather, and your parents that they are all looking forward to your return to the palace. ”

"......" Yumiko Sagawa heard this, her eyes gradually dimmed, and she fell into silence.

She knew very well that this trip to the ocean to find Li Xiaodong for revenge on behalf of her master was the last mission in her female ninja career, regardless of the period of cultivation, she was now twenty-two years old, and she had passed the best age for cultivation, even if she practiced hard for another ten years, she might not have much achievement.

Time, age, and even her royal family did not allow her to continue her practice under the Broken Water Stream.

There seems to be no hope in sight on her path to revenge.

But she held back a resentment in her heart, she couldn't forget the humiliation that Li Xiaodong brought her, that shameless bastard, after defeating her, did not kill her, but ......

"Master!"

Yumiko Sagawa bowed down, and her tone was extremely firm: "Yumiko begs the master to agree, for revenge, in order to improve her skills, Yumiko is willing to serve the demon with her body!"

Hirakawa Hachiro frowned slightly, and said reprimandingly: "Yumiko!"

"Could it be that hatred and anger have blinded your reason? You are the eldest grandson of the Emperor and a disciple of the righteous path, how can you be willing to fall into the devil's way!?"

"Master, you don't know how much humiliation he has brought to Yumiko, all the dignity of Yumiko in this life has been trampled on by this vulgar man, if you don't take revenge, Yumiko will have nothing to live and die a bad death!"

She grabbed the thunder in front of her, brushed the ground and drew her katana, holding the knife behind her back, the tip of the knife pointed at her abdomen, "Shizun, if you don't agree, Yumiko will die in front of Shizun with regret and humiliation!"

"......" Hirakawa Hachiro stared at her with flashing eyes, and in his heart, he was already out of proportion.

He knew that his apprentice, Yumiko was of noble birth and peaceful temperament, and she had always been respectful and obedient to her elders, but she had a fatal flaw, that is, her dignity.

He remembered that when Yumiko was sixteen years old, there was a guest of Meng Lang who lost his words after drinking, saying that she had a soft temperament, snow-white and beautiful, very much like a well-known Kabuki, and hoped that she would serve the guests like Kabuki.

Faced with such a resolute female disciple, for a while, Hirakawa Hachiro was in a dilemma.

......

At eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Lan Xue'er made a phone call that interrupted Li Xiaodong's cultivation in the villa.

He got up and went to the bathroom, washed his sweaty body, changed into a set of ordinary casual clothes, and left the villa.

Downstairs in the apartment, Li Xiaodong picked up Lan Xueer and Mei Dan, and as soon as the two girls got in the car, Mei Dan said with a smile: "Xiaodong, you set a place, let's have a good meal, it's worth celebrating today." ”

"What's the good thing?" Li Xiaodong turned the steering wheel and drove the car onto the street.

"Cut, what good can she do? She only has business in her eyes now, as long as the company makes money, it is her good thing. Lan Xue'er said disappreciatively.

"Hehe, that's right, my sister only has money in her eyes, and with my sister's unremitting efforts, my sister's company is getting bigger and bigger, and my sister has decided to open a branch...... "Mei Dan smiled even more coquettishly.

Li Xiaodong heard the two of them talk about this, and he already understood that Mei Dandan was so happy today, it was nothing more than how prosperous Meixue International was and how prosperous the business was, nothing more.

This is of course a good thing, the largest shareholder of Meixue International is him, Meixue International is getting bigger and bigger, in fact, he should be the happiest.

However, he is not the direct manager of Meixue International, compared to Mei Dan, the hands-on CEO, whether the company is prosperous or the company is getting bigger and bigger, he does not have such a strong sense of achievement as Mei Dan.

Sometimes he doesn't even quite understand how a beautiful woman like Mei Dandan is so ambitious? All she thinks about is to develop her business, and she will not travel around like other girls of the same age, nor will she buy luxury goods like many rich girls, as if she has no other pursuit in her life except to do a good job.

It's just that he doesn't even have the idea of having a good relationship with his boyfriend, but it's really speechless, he thought.
