Chapter 35: Talking about Collapse Expert
The next day.

"Matsudaira, I heard something..."

His adopted sister, Ayaka, approached Matsudaira Inomaro. Hesitantly, she asked in a low voice, "I heard that the Genin, Lord Hyakusuke, went out to a teahouse and brought some courtesans with him. He didn't come back last night, and I don't know what he's been doing."

"Is there such a thing?"

Mr. Matsudaira is grooming his beloved horse with a mane brush.

"But there's nothing strange about this... Mr. Baijie is also a man."

Without even looking up, the old warrior asked, "Lord Ayaka, where did you hear this strange news?"

Being asked this question in return, Ayaka felt a little uneasy, and she circled her fingers in front of her chest.

"This, this is what the servants in the main camp here are whispering about..."

She overheard it, too.

"Ayaka."

Suddenly, a voice sounded behind her. The girl turned her head and was hit lightly on the forehead by something.

"it hurts."

"It's not a good thing to gossip behind someone's back~~"

Yue Jialuo Yeming appeared behind her at some point. She was wearing a crimson kimono, holding an exquisite bamboo flute, and playing with the tassel with her fingers.

"Master Baijie has never done anything like that. This is just a misunderstanding... Moreover, if this rumor reaches the Kurohimeyama family, he might be punished."

"Yeah, sorry."

Ayaka apologized timidly.

"There's no use telling me."

Ye Ming reached out his hand, stroked her cheek and continued, "Just be more careful next time."

"Let's finish our conversation."

Old man Matsudaira interrupted the two of them.

"It's almost time... Let's get in the car. Are we heading directly to Snow Yasha Lake this time?"

The old man sighed softly when he said this, "However, no one knows whether the Sword Saint Kuang Yunzhai is still at Snowyaksha Lake."

"Huh? Who is that?"

Ayaka had never heard of this name.

"He is Senior Sword Saint, one of the Four Saints."

Ye Ming explained, "The Sword Saint was born in Ezo. His real name is unknown. We only know that he called himself 'Kifune Kyōunsai'. He was the great hero who ended the demonic unrest one hundred and fifty years ago... Besides him, there was also the Spear Saint, the Bow Saint, and the Fist Saint, all powerful warriors who faced the five demon kings back then."

"Old Master Kuang Yunzhai also has some connection with the process of the Yuejialuo clan's ancestor founding the Longtian Yinyue School."

Elder Matsudaira explained, "The first generation master of the Longtian Yinyue style was inspired by Elder Kyouunsai to create his own swordsmanship. He can be considered a master."

"is it?"

Ayaka was quite surprised.

"Because the events in the Hokuriku Territory may involve Ezo (Hokkaido) across the strait, we hope to get some information from the seniors."

Elder Song Ping continued to explain: "Also, Master Kuang Yunsai has lived a long life and has extensive knowledge. We also want to inquire about the matter of removing the curse on the young master..."

"After all, the Ainu are a long-lived species, unlike us short-lived species. They live very long lives. It is said that the elders of the tribe may live to be a thousand years old."

Ye Ming explained briefly.

The Emishi refer to the Ainu, the indigenous inhabitants of Hokkaido. However, the Emishi in "Bright Moon in the Dark" are not a human race, but a sub-human race.

Humans only have a lifespan of a few decades, but the Ainu people can live for hundreds or even thousands of years.

It is said that their ancestors are related to the black dwarfs in Norse mythology. Judging from their appearance, the Ainu people have light brown skin, pointed ears, and are generally not too tall, but they have excellent physical strength.

In addition, the Ainu people are also good at making iron, smelting iron, and creating magical tools and weapons. They are very powerful craftsmen who master special secret techniques and can create powerful magical weapons.

Of the four saints who were enthroned by the imperial court at the end of the chaos, the Archery Saint and the Spear Saint had already passed away one hundred and fifty years later, and only the Sword Saint Kuang Yunzhai and the Fist Saint were still alive.

"Speaking of which, the eldest princess of the Kurohimeyama family is also a disciple of Elder Kuang Yunzhai. She spent four years serving Elder Kuang Yunzhai and learned swordsmanship and the technique of forging demon swords."

Mr. Matsudaira also recalled this incident.

"Hey...but if Miss Xiao Hagi is a disciple of Kuang Yunzhai, then can't we just ask Miss Xiao Hagi to introduce us to the Sword Saint?"

Ayaka asked this question.

"We've asked... but Miss Kohagi also claimed she didn't know where the old man was. The Sword Saint is used to traveling the world, having visited all sixty-six countries. No one knows where he is now..."

Elder Song Ping smiled bitterly and said, "According to that young lady, there is a small house near the Snow Yasha Lake. It is where he occasionally stays. Let's try our luck here."

Ayaka nodded, half understanding. She wasn't an exorcist, and lacked the necessary skills, so she rarely encountered this kind of information.

"Excuse me, everyone."

Suddenly, someone coughed lightly from behind the three of them, interrupting their conversation.

Ayaka was startled because she noticed that it was Hyakusuke without the black fox mask.

"The oxcart is ready. Miss Ming and Miss Ayaka, please get on board."

Baijie squeezed out these words in a hoarse voice.

Ye Ming didn't say anything. She looked at Bai Jie with her eyes with long eyelashes. From a distance, her dark pupils met Bai Jie's gaze.

Suddenly, the next second, the two people avoided looking at each other tacitly.

The atmosphere became awkward...

...Huh? What's going on?

Ayaka's mouth opened slightly, and she was keenly aware of the strange atmosphere between Ye Ming and Bai Jie. Gurgle.

The sister swallowed her saliva, and her dry and tight throat seemed to swallow a ball of sticky air.

"What, what happened? Did something happen between my brother and Mr. Baijie?"

A strange silence hung between them, both she and he standing there, almost motionless.

——Silence, the silence that seemed to oppress the body and permeate the air.

Everything is unclear.

Ayaka's skin, tense with nervousness, broke out in a cold sweat, and a ridiculous feeling welled up in her heart.

In a place she was completely unaware of, in a place that was beyond her reach, something unexpected seemed to have happened to her "brother", which led to something happening between her and Baijie.

"Not good... not good, very bad."

Ayaka is often considered to have a straightforward personality, but in reality, she simply has strong emotions, which allows her to get to the heart of the matter with something akin to female intuition.

She had a vague feeling that the familiar Yue Jialuo Yeming, her "brother", was getting farther and farther away from her, and was no longer her brother, but had become something else.

“No, absolutely not…”

Ayaka felt a little panic in her heart... No, no, she shook her head desperately in her heart, because she thought of a possibility -

"This is the only thing that must never happen, brother, you must not let yourself fall into depravity!"

"It's almost time to go."

Old man Matsudaira Inomaro obviously did not have a profound ability to read the air, and he happened to interrupt the silence at this moment.

"We'd better get going quickly. Hopefully it won't rain or anything today..."

"That's right, we can leave soon..."

Ye Ming suddenly reached out and held his sister's hand.

"Ayaka, let's go."

"Good, good."

Ayaka was almost being dragged forward by Yue Jialuo Yeming.

"Brother... who are you?"

She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

However, the moment Yue Jialuo Yeming and Bai Jie passed by each other, he snorted coldly with the corner of his mouth raised.

The moment he heard this cold snort, Bai Jie couldn't help but straighten his back and all the pores on his body contracted.

After Ye Ming left, he sighed deeply in his heart. At the same time, an indescribable strong fatigue weighed down his whole body, causing him to droop his shoulders involuntarily.

“…The talks broke down.”

This was something that Baijie had not expected - to explain the reason, it all went back to last night.

……

showdown.

You must push the card.

Baijie thought that Yue Jialuo Yeming was a reasonable person in the game.

...As long as you can convince her, you will definitely get her help.

"If my mouth can move her, I can gain the support of this destined protagonist. I can also tell her the information I have, which will speed up her awakening and strengthening..."

Even if she becomes a woman, it doesn't prevent her from becoming stronger.

And as long as you use the information you have and avoid various plot landmines, you can easily resolve the world-destroying crisis.

Baijie even imagined that after Yue Jialuo Yeming became stronger with his help, the two of them could join forces to kill people indiscriminately.

The destined protagonist is responsible for "killing indiscriminately" in the front, and I, the player, am responsible for "ga ga" in the back.

We can be the most powerful team in this game.

——A bright future prospect appeared before his eyes.

"It's you... Miss Ming?"

He stared at the girl again.

The evening breeze parted the clouds, and the moonlight sprinkled on the earth bit by bit.

Under the thin moonlight, she wore a purple kimono, her long black hair tied back in a bun, her rather large breasts hidden beneath the kimono. Even the way she stood gave her shoulders a gentle slope, exuding a delicate beauty.

Bathed in the moonlight, anyone would be attracted by this girl who exudes a calm and gentle aura.

"No, I should call you Lord Ye Ming."

Baijie's eyes did not leave her. He opened his mouth slightly and directly revealed the other person's identity.

"Eh... Mia?"

Yue Jialuo Yeming was frightened and shrank her neck when her true identity was revealed. She fell into panic and couldn't help but make strange sounds like the cries of small animals.

"Wow... No, it's not me."

Her eyes rolled around, she looked panic-stricken, and her steps moved backwards.

Bai Jie plucked up his courage and grabbed her wrist.

"Please wait a moment, Lord Ye Ming."

He said in a deep voice, "Just now, it was you who came to my aid. Without the aid of your flute, I would not have been able to deal with the vengeful spirit in the cemetery... I must thank you."
