Great Swordsman Ke Xue.

Chapter 586 He has a clear mind

Before Shimizu Koji gave his answer, Hattori Shizuka was so shocked that she couldn't control herself. She opened her mouth slightly, unable to hide her inner confusion.

If the person next to her was her son Hattori Heiji, she would have agreed to it right now by pressing Hattori Heiji's head.

Because if the news that Yagyu Ryunosuke was going to accept a disciple spread early, kendo practitioners from all over Japan would probably flock to him like a swarm of carp crossing a river, coming from thousands of miles away, er, no, hundreds of miles away, to kneel here for three days and three nights to prove their sincerity.

But no one expected that such an opportunity would come so suddenly and without any warning, so much so that in that instant, Hattori Shizuka felt a long-lost sense of jealousy towards Shimizu Koji.

She herself is also a kendo practitioner, and her pursuit of kendo is even greater than that of Michiko Tetsu.

However, after she got married and gave birth to Hattori Heiji, she had no time to continue practicing kendo. Over time, she was stuck at the level of a swordsman, unable to make any progress, and gradually faded out of the kendo practice world.

But no matter what, she never gave up her pursuit of kendo in her heart. That's why she was particularly excited when she saw Yagyu Ryunosuke again. When she heard that Yagyu Ryunosuke planned to accept a disciple, she was so shocked that she could hardly control herself.

Everyone present looked at Shimizu Koji, even Master Isshin's eyes were full of curiosity and surprise. Shimizu Koji raised his eyebrows inadvertently, obviously surprised that Yagyu Ryunosuke suddenly proposed to accept him as a disciple.

In fact, Koji Shimizu did not want to deal with these practitioners in his heart, because he did not want to expose too many of his abilities. Although he was almost invincible now with the bonus of the Kaleidoscope and his special powers, it was only his individual ability. He was not yet able to fight against a country.

Koji Shimizu will not underestimate ordinary people, especially the malice of those powerful people towards an extraordinary existence like him that has broken cognition. If he is exposed, not only the bigwigs in Japan, but also some other countries will probably be unable to sleep or eat.

Of course, as long as he doesn't expose the existence of Susanoo, his other powers don't need to be concealed. However, in line with the principle of keeping a low profile, he should try to avoid dealing with these people.

After all, for him, this is almost no benefit.

So Shimizu Koji didn't think much about it and simply refused, "Sorry, this is too sudden. Please forgive me for declining."

Across from him, Yagyu Ryunosuke was calm and composed, stroking his beard with a faint smile on his face, "Ah, you promised—uh? Hmm??!"

Suddenly, Yagyu Ryunosuke also widened his eyes, as if he saw something incredible.

"Ahem, you may not know me, let me introduce myself again. I am the 13th generation head of the Yagyu family and the only swordsman in Japan today."

Yagyu Ryunosuke tried his best to save the situation, but Shimizu Koji still shook his head calmly, as if he didn't hear his self-introduction at all.

Hattori Shizuka and Isshin Zen Master were both completely dumbfounded at this moment. Originally, they were shocked enough that Yagyu Ryunosuke proposed to take him as a disciple, but no one expected that Shimizu Koji would directly refuse without any consideration.

Hattori Shizuka's mind went blank, and Master Isshin whispered a Buddhist name, then suddenly put his palms together and closed his eyes.

After a moment of doubt, Yagyu Ryunosuke slowly put away the smile on his face, and his expression became calm, even a little cold.

He is a sword master. It was already very disrespectful to him that Shimizu Koji rejected him once. The second time, he even shamelessly tried to make up for it, but was still rejected.

If Shimizu Koji couldn't give him a good reason, he would strike with his sword -

Well, he is not young anymore, and there is no need to kill for such a thing. But if Shimizu Koji wants to regret and become his disciple, it will be impossible! "Give me an explanation."

Yagyu Ryunosuke's tone was stiff and his unhappiness was written all over his face. If Shimizu Koji put himself in his shoes, he could understand his feelings, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

He nodded and explained, "I don't have such a strong desire and pursuit for kendo, it's just a hobby, so if I become your disciple, I'm afraid it will disappoint Mr. Yagyu."

Yagyu Ryunosuke didn't expect Shimizu Koji to say that. He frowned and looked at Shimizu Koji for a few times, then snorted through his nose, "A rotten tree can't be carved!"

Hattori Shizuka originally wanted to say something, but after hearing what Yagyu Ryunosuke said, she swallowed her words back silently. She looked at Shimizu Koji with a look of disappointment and sighed softly.

It would be great if she was the one chosen. Heiji has grown up and she can now focus on her kendo training again.

"what?"

Suddenly, Shimizu Koji let out a light exclamation, then turned his head abruptly and looked straight at Master Isshin. His eyes also turned into bright red Sharingan in an instant.

A huge amount of spiritual energy surged with the blooming of the Sharingan. Isshin, who seemed to be meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly trembled all over, then quickly opened his eyes and looked at Shimizu Koji with a very shocked look.

"Amitabha."

At this moment, the kaleidoscope in Shimizu Koji's eyes had disappeared, and the sudden change between the two of them also attracted the attention of Hattori Shizuka and Yagyu Ryunosuke.

However, unlike Shimizu Koji's surprise, the two of them looked at Master Isshin, as if they were waiting for something.

"Well, the young donor has a kind heart and a gentle nature, but it's a pity that he can't focus on the way of the sword. It's really a pity."

Master Isshin put his palms together and spoke sincerely. If Shimizu Koji saw him winking at him secretly, he might have taken his words seriously.

Just now, Koji Shimizu felt a strange soul power, and the source of this power was the Zen Master Isshin in front of him. However, before the opponent's soul power entered his body, he was blocked and driven back.

After listening to Master Isshin's words, Yagyu Ryunosuke frowned slightly, sighed softly, and no longer looked coldly at Shimizu Koji.

Hattori Shizuka's eyes flickered for a while, then she turned around to look at Shimizu Koji, opened her mouth, and finally said, "Master Isshin has practiced Buddhism intensively, and his telepathy can verify the true thoughts of others."

Hattori Shizuka's explanation made Shimizu Koji understand what had just happened, and he finally understood the purpose of Hattori Shizuka bringing him here.

Obviously, the old monk did not attack him first, but tested Hattori Shizuka first before taking his turn.

Otherwise, there would be no need to wink at him and say things like he has a kind heart.

Looking at Master Isshin, Shimizu Koji felt a little strange. This old monk is really interesting.
