Stay away from Conan.

For someone like Gao Yuan who suddenly revealed some secrets, Xiao Ai felt both puzzled and curious.

What I am confused about is how Gao Yuan knew about this kind of thing, and what I am curious about is whether what Gao Yuan said is true?

After Gao Yuan asked that question, Xiao Ai stopped thinking about it and just regarded what Gao Yuan said as true. After all, it was just to satisfy her curiosity and there was no need to get to the bottom of it. Besides, Gao Yuan had already satisfied her curiosity, and Xiao Ai also believed that Gao Yuan would not say that without any basis.

So, after Gao Yuan blurted out that sentence, Xiao Ai's expression changed several times, and then she smiled faintly, just smiled at Gao Yuan, and asked back:
"How do you know? Are you also keeping an eye on that geisha?"

Suddenly, this question made Gao Yuan speechless.

Indeed, how can this be explained? Normally, if you are not paying special attention, who would find out about this kind of thing.

But it just so happens that the source of my information is someone who has read the original work, which is something that cannot be put into words.

Thus, seeing Gao Yuan's somewhat speechless and embarrassed look, Xiao Ai lifted her hair as if she had succeeded. The "lover" bracelet dotted with rubies on her right hand seemed a little conspicuous at this moment——

Looking at this bracelet, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic. After all, even though a long time had passed, if it weren't for the special effects of this bracelet, this matter would not have been resolved so quickly.

So, noticing that Xiao Ai had asked that question and did not mean for Gao Yuan to answer, Gao Yuan smiled faintly, followed Xiao Ai out of Sannoji Temple tacitly, and came to the wine-red luxury car borrowed from Ooka Momiji, ready to drive away -

"Huh? You are..."

However, just at this moment, when Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai were about to open the car door and get in, several figures came towards them from another direction, and one of them spoke first, speaking to Gao Yuan in a Kansai accent.

Gao Yuan felt somewhat familiar with the voice. He turned around and saw several high school boys walking towards him. They were all wearing white kendo uniforms and holding bamboo swords in their hands. They should be members of a high school kendo club.

Among them, Gao Yuan recognized the one who took the initiative to ask him at a glance.

"Okita Souji..."

Looking at the man coming over who had a face almost identical to Kudo Shinichi, Gao Yuan silently recited the other person's name in his heart. It was not strange to meet him in Kyoto.

"I remember you. I think your name is Gao Yuan, right? Your swordsmanship is really impressive!"

He seemed a bit familiar, perhaps because of the previous competition between Gao Yuan and Okita Souji held by the Kendo Club of Tetsumoroha School, which made Okita Souji remember Gao Yuan deeply. So when he saw Gao Yuan in Kyoto this time, he naturally came up to greet him.

In this regard, seeing that the other party took the initiative to greet him, Gao Yuan also responded naturally:
"Long time no see, Okita Souji-san."

So, after Gao Yuan greeted Okita Souji like this, and listened to their conversation, Xiao Ai couldn't help but feel curious about the name "Okita Souji", so she looked up to see who this person was who obviously knew Gao Yuan -

As a result, when Ai saw Okita Souji's face, she was stunned, because Okita Souji's face...

Apart from having a slightly darker skin color, he looks too similar to Kudo Shinichi. If Gao Yuan hadn't known him and said his name, Xiao Ai would have thought that he was Kudo Shinichi himself in disguise.

So, after Gao Yuan greeted Okita Souji, several other boys who were with Okita Souji also came over and asked Okita Souji:
"Okita, is he someone you know?" "Yes, he's a very good kendo player."

Okita Souji responded naturally.

"Oh! You must be really amazing to be praised by Okita like that!"

Then, listening to Okita Souji's words, these high school students also exclaimed.

Then, while they were talking, Xiao Ai on the side was watching them silently, and looked at Gao Yuan puzzledly, as if she had a lot of doubts, but at least she didn't ask immediately, just waited quietly.

Afterwards, some of the high school students present seemed to notice Gao Yuan preparing to drive away, so they noticed Gao Yuan's car and said in surprise:
"Eh? This car...isn't it the Ooka family's car?"

Then, the other people also began to notice this, and looked at Gao Yuan in surprise, guessing his identity.

"Come to think of it, Okita Souji-san, you and Ms. Ooka are both from Izumi Shin High School... are you classmates?"

Although Gao Yuan knew that Okita Souji and Ooka Momiji were classmates because of the original work, he still decided to ask specifically this time.

So, Okita Souji nodded and said:
"Yeah. I didn't expect you to be related to Ooka as well?"

As he said this, Okita Souji's expression showed a hint of curiosity.

Gao Yuan explained this very naturally:
"Yes, Ms. Ooka and I are also friends, and this car was lent to me by Ms. Ooka."

So, after a brief explanation and a few words, since he unexpectedly met Gao Yuan in Kyoto, Okita Souji couldn't help but miss him a little, so he asked Gao Yuan:

"By the way... since I met you here, how about... we compete again? I want to see your move and see if my recent training results can break your move!"

As he said this, Okita Souji looked serious.

Gao Yuan was helpless upon seeing this. He naturally knew what the move that Okita Souji mentioned was. It was the "Hanged Man" that required the help of a "Hermit" to perform. It was precisely by relying on the special effect of the "Hanged Man" that he was able to fight Okita Souji on equal terms in his last competition. But if Okita Souji had not voluntarily admitted defeat, he would have been the loser if he had continued to fight as he had already revealed all his cards.

Therefore, now that he did not have the "Hermit" and could not perform the "Hanged Man", he could not perform the move that Okita Souji wanted to see. Moreover, there was no need to compete with Okita Souji again. After all, he had no confidence that he could beat him in pure kendo.

Moreover, after beating up Nishijo Daikawa yesterday, Gao Yuan no longer had any interest in continuing to compete with others.

Therefore, facing the moment when Okita Souji challenged him so seriously, Gao Yuan said helplessly:

"Sorry, I'm busy. But... if you want to compete, Hattori Heiji is also in Kyoto now!" (End of this chapter)
