Great Swordsman Ke Xue.

Chapter 585: Hattori Shizuka fainted
"Please sit here for a while. I am playing chess with an old friend. I hope you will forgive me if I am negligent."

The kind-looking old monk does seem to make people subconsciously feel convinced.

Koji Shimizu was very surprised that their impromptu visit was so simple and easy. He thought that there would be some barriers to meeting this old Zen master who had 108 years of practice experience. Unexpectedly, they were invited in directly after just knocking on the door.

Moreover, this old monk doesn't look like he is over a hundred years old.

Master Isshin's friend was an old man with a goatee, who looked quite old. The old man with the goatee ignored Shimizu Koji and Hattori Shizuka. After Master Isshin sat back, the two continued to play Go on the tatami.

What concerned Koji Shimizu was that after Hattori Shizuka walked into the room, she seemed to be stunned and became a little absent-minded.

For a moment, Shimizu Koji thought that it was the Zen Master Isshin who used some magic, but when he tried to wave it in front of Hattori Shizuka, Hattori Shizuka glared at him fiercely and slapped him on the wrist.

So fierce.

Koji Shimizu glared back without hesitation, but his gaze subconsciously lingered on Hattori Shizuka's chest for a second, and it was this second that earned him another fierce glare.

But Shimizu Koji didn't mean it at all, it was purely the instinct of his body, he had seen all kinds of things, and although Hattori Shizuka was indeed very big, she was only about the same size as Momiji.

But in the end, he was in the wrong in this matter, so Shimizu Koji didn't bother with Hattori Shizuka anymore.

"That's Master Yixin?"

"Ah."

"Do you know the other one, too?"

Koji Shimizu pointed at the old man with a goatee, but Shizuka Hattori simply stretched out her hand to block his action.

"Don't be unreasonable, this person is——"

"It's Jinghua. Long time no see."

Just as Hattori Shizuka was about to talk about the key point, she was interrupted by the old man with a goatee. It was not known whether the other party did it on purpose, but he did attract the attention of both Hattori Shizuka and Shimizu Koji.

"Senior Yagyu, I'm sorry to bother you."

"Oh, it's nothing. I just happened to feel like playing a few games of chess with this old guy."

The current Hattori Shizuka is completely different from her previous dignified and elegant, fierce and cold image. The current Hattori Shizuka looks like a...
Good girl?
Koji Shimizu knew it was strange to use such words to describe a mature woman like Hattori Shizuka, but this was indeed his true feeling.

With her head lowered and a look of genuine respect, Hattori Shizuka looked as excited as a girl meeting her idol.

This made Koji Shimizu even more curious about the identity of the old man with a goatee.

Koji Shimizu looked at the old man with a goatee curiously, and when he looked over, he happened to see that the old man with a goatee, who looked very impressive, swept his hand across the chessboard as fast as lightning while he was talking.

Um.?

shameless!
"He stole the chess pieces!"

"Ah?!" Hattori Shizuka was startled.

The old man with the goatee also changed his expression suddenly, and glared at Shimizu Koji with a stern look. But Master Isshin was the calmest. Well, Shimizu Koji thought that he might be used to it, considering their ages.

Master Isshin chanted a Buddhist name and looked at the old man with a goatee steadily. The old man with a goatee glared at Shimizu Koji, turned his head, and moved his lips, seeming to be very unconvinced, but finally he took out a chess piece from his pocket and put it back on the chessboard.

"Ryunosuke, my chess piece wasn't here before."

"It is here."

"I won't remember it wrongly." Master Yi Xin shook his head lightly.

Yagyu Ryunosuke's face was stiff. He looked at the chessboard, then at Isshin Zen Master's face, and then he slapped his thigh and said, "No more."

"What are you doing? Don't pinch me. Hey, don't pinch me, do you hear me? If you do that again, I will fight back." "Can't you tell me that he cheated by stealing the chess?!"

Yagyu Ryunosuke and Isshin Zen Master turned around and saw two people sitting upright on the tatami, reaching out to each other and pinching each other's thighs.

Hattori Shizuka was so angry. She hadn't been so angry in many years. But just at that moment, when Shimizu Koji said something, her whole worldview seemed to be shocked.

He, how dare he!
Unable to bear the rage, Hattori Shizuka simply reached out and pinched Shimizu Koji's thigh. Shimizu Koji did it on purpose, because his strength allowed him to ignore the rules and be cynical. He simply couldn't stand this pretentious old man, so he shouted out.

But being pinched on the thigh by Shizuka Hattori was completely unexpected for him. Of course, he quickly realized that Shizuka Hattori might know the old man, but what did this have to do with her pinching his thigh? After repeated statements, Shizuka Hattori still didn't let go, so Shimizu Koji simply pinched her back.

Yagyu Ryunosuke was silent, and Master Isshin, who had a compassionate face, also looked a little embarrassed.

Hattori Shizuka was completely mad. After all, that was the Sword Saint, the only Sword Saint in Japan. To be treated like this by Shimizu Koji, she brought him.
For a moment, Hattori Shizuka felt as if she was ten years younger, back to that summer, her girlhood in high school, the time when she wanted to chop those mean boys to pieces with a knife.

But she didn't have a knife in her hand, so she could only pinch him hard.
"Ahem, Jinghua."

The voice of Yagyu Ryunosuke was like a sharp sword, piercing through the heart of Hattori Shizuka, who was already a little dizzy from anger.

Hattori Shizuka Takeken came to her senses, as if she had just realized what she had just done, and she withdrew her hand like a shy girl who realized she had done something wrong.

But she was not shy at all. The moment she withdrew her hand, she was still staring at Shimizu Koji, because Shimizu Koji had not let go of her hand yet.

Finally, after a minute of silent negotiations and confrontation, Koji Shimizu and Shizuka Hattori temporarily reached an out-of-court settlement.

"This is Mr. Yagyu Ryunosuke."

"Oh."

Oh, that's it?! Hattori Shizuka turned back and glared at Shimizu Koji.

But Koji Shimizu didn't know any Ryunosuke Yagyu, and Ryunosuke Yagyu was somewhat dissatisfied with Koji Shimizu's attitude.

However, when he and Master Isshin approached and sat opposite Shimizu Koji and Hattori Shizuka, he looked at Shimizu Koji and suddenly couldn't help but let out a light exclamation.

"Hey, little guy, have you already entered the Tao?!"

Entering the Dao? It sounds a bit intimidating at first, but Shimizu Koji has learned from Michiko Tetsu that the so-called entering the Dao is nothing more than understanding the sword heart and entering the realm of kendo.

Shimizu Koji nodded without comment, Yagyu Ryunosuke stroked his beard and looked much better, while Hattori Shizuka on the side did not look surprised at all, because she had received the news from Tetsu Michiko before.

However, Michiko only told her that Shimizu Koji had officially started practicing kendo, but did not tell her Shimizu Koji's specific realm. If she knew that Shimizu Koji had mastered the sword intent early on and was even heading towards the realm of a swordsman, she probably would not have this expression.

Of course, even the realm of a swordsman is a thing of the past for Koji Shimizu now. After Koji Shimizu's Sharingan broke through, even Michiko Tetsu doesn't know how strong Koji Shimizu really is.

"Not bad, not bad. You have entered the Dao at such a young age. In the past few years, I have only seen one person as young as you who has reached this stage."

"Oh? Are you also a high school student like me?" asked Shimizu Koji curiously.

He would not take the initiative to show his strength, but he also cared about the young man that Yagyu Ryunosuke was talking about. He had countless world buffs, which others did not have.

In this world with scarce spiritual energy, young people who can embark on spiritual practice at such a young age are indeed worthy of attention.

"He's just the successor of Okita Souji's generation. He's different from ordinary young people like you. Compared with him, you should have more potential." Yagyu Ryunosuke said shamelessly.

Regardless of Shimizu Koji and Hattori Shizuka's mood, he continued to speak, "It's rare to meet a young gem like you. I'm old, and I always want to do something for kendo. How about you, young guy, become my disciple?"

Of course, Yagyu Ryunosuke did not act on a whim. Well, it was also a whim. The first time he saw Shimizu Koji, he had an intuition that this young man was very different.

His intuition led him to make this decision.
