Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

Judging from Dong Wenjue's expression, Uesugi Kiyoshi knew he hadn't guessed wrong.

“Senior Dongwen – I address you this way out of respect for my master.”

"If you want to find a son-in-law, there are countless young men from wealthy families in Tokyo for you to choose from. I am not very talented and have no intention of marrying into another family. Please find someone more suitable."

"I only want half of what Maki promised me—you give it to me, and we can cooperate happily and make money peacefully. If you leave the means behind, you don't want to give it to me."

Uesugi's clear eyes reveal a cold glow.

"Then I'll get it myself."

Dong Wenjue remained stunned for a full ten seconds before he came to his senses.

He was somewhat incredulous and said urgently, "I didn't mean to deceive you, and I don't want you to marry into my family, Uesugi-kun. I just want to find a husband that Maki can entrust her life to."

“Those powerful families are not in my consideration. I guarantee that once they confirm my death, Dongwen Society will become easy prey for others. Those powerful families will not let go of a duck that has been delivered to their mouths.”

“You are different, Uesugi-kun. You have no family to bind you, and you happen to need support. This is a win-win solution, so why are you refusing?”

Uesugi Kiyoshi shook his head blankly.

"Let's not even talk about the fact that you didn't consider Maki's thoughts—perhaps because in your mind, choosing a husband for your daughter is a matter of course and doesn't require her consent, but that's none of my business."

"I'll say it again, I refuse."

"Senior Dongwen, I will find a girl I like to be my life partner, but as it stands, it won't be Maki."

"Perhaps marriage is just a tool for you to get support, but it's different for me."

"We have different values, so let's not bring this up again."

"By the way."

Uesugi Kiyoshi suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze burning with an intense, defiant flame.

"I am no longer that weakling who needs others' help to face ghosts and gods."

“I have a mentor, friends, and the Collectors Association as my support.”

"Tonight, for the first time, I acted as a link to organize such a large-scale offensive and wipe out Dong Wenyu's forces. I can do the same thing a second time."

"I am no longer alone!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi met Higashi Bunkaku's gaze without backing down.

"You said Dongwenhui can save me decades of hard work, I admit it."

“However, Senior Dongwen, what you can do starting from scratch, I can do with a good hand of cards just as easily.”

"At the very least, I don't think I'm any worse than you!"

"You can reach the pinnacle of Tokyo's Yakuza, but I might reach even higher!"

The young man was full of vigor and ambition, daring to reach for the moon and unafraid of human hardships.

Dong Wenjue stared at Uesugi Kiyoshi for a long time, speechless, before finally letting out a wry smile.

"Your stubbornness comes just like your master's."

"Forget it, forced love is never sweet."

"Since that's the case, I won't say any more."

"I believe your future will be extraordinary, but I wonder which girl will be lucky enough to win your heart. Maki is not fortunate enough, and I will not force her."

"only."

Dong Wenjue suddenly bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle, performing a grand salute.

"Uesugi-kun, I hope that if Maki ever encounters difficulties in the future, you will help her as much as possible—she is my only daughter!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi did not try to avoid the elder's understanding, but accepted it readily and nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, Senior Dongwen."

"She calls me 'Master,' so she considers me her disciple."

"We in the Shin-Yin River region have a tradition of being quite protective of our own!"

Chapter 150 Half a Day of Leisure After the Duty

On a gloomy afternoon, Uesugi Kiyoshi slowly opened his eyes as if waking from a dream.

The wind and rain passed by the window, tapping on the transparent glass and creating a clear, tinkling melody.

The rain hasn't stopped yet.

This was the fifth day of torrential rain in Tokyo, and also the second day after Uesugi Kiyotaka slew the demons and helped Azuma Maki regain control of the Azuma-kai.

The surroundings were quiet, with only the scratching sound of pen tip against paper ringing incessantly in his ears like an itch, but the feeling wasn't unpleasant.

He sniffed the air; the scents of ink, sandalwood, and feminine fragrance intertwined to create a subtle yet incredibly alluring aroma that instantly invigorated his newly awakened spirits.

Frowning, Uesugi Kiyoshi straightened up from his wheelchair and casually pulled the blanket on his knees up a little.

The spring breeze was a bit sharp on this rainy day. The wooden door opened a crack, and the damp air happily squeezed into the house, bringing fresh air, along with a chill.

Yes, that's right, Uesugi Kiyoshi is now in a wheelchair.

Although this was not his original intention, after agreeing to Dong Wenyu's request to entrust his son to him, Dong Wenzhi hurriedly took his leave, and he also activated his soul to wake up from the dream.

The surrounding environment was naturally safe; they had achieved a complete victory.

The Onmyoji and Mibu Wolf who arrived were met with a barrage of sarcastic remarks from Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who had emptied his pockets. There was nothing they could do; the Collectors Association had eliminated a Sky Guardian-level disaster with incredible speed, a feat never before accomplished.

Everyone here makes a living in Tokyo, and we know each other inside and out. Other organizations are well aware of the capabilities of your Collectors Association. Yes, the three literary figures who connect each have their own unique and powerful abilities, but the Collectors Association has always lacked a decisive means to inflict massive damage on the spirits.

You can't expect the linker of the literary soul to roll up their sleeves and fight ghosts and gods.

Now, Uesugi Kiyoshi's arrival has filled this gap, and has also made the Onmyoji and Mibu Wolves more wary of the Collectors Association.

The Tobun-kai has been completely taken over by Tobun Maki and his subordinates. The retainers that Tobun Kaku left to Tobun Maki are all very capable people. Kameyama of the club's squadron and Suzuki, who has been an undercover agent for ten years, are one intellectual and one martial. They quickly suppressed the unrest in the Tobun-kai. In terms of extraordinary combat power, they also have the demon sword and the witch sword by their side. In addition, Tobun Maki has awakened the innovator's soul of Sakamoto Ryoma and completely inherited the reverse blade. In fact, in terms of overall strength, the Tobun-kai has not been weakened much.

If the Night Battle of Dongwen were a dungeon, then Uesugi Kiyoshi's team would at least have achieved an S rank.

The only downside is that the captain has fallen.

It takes too much mirage energy to activate the awakened body of the Inugami.

Uesugi Kiyoshi now roughly understands what mirage is—among cultivators, the extraordinary power of Onmyoji is called spiritual power. Their spiritual power comes from absorbing the spiritual energy of nature or even the universe with powerful mental strength and turning it into their own.

Specifically, it can be compared to the Qi cultivators of the Celestial Empire, or to the legends of monsters, who draw upon the essence of heaven and earth, the sun and moon, to ultimately step into the extraordinary realm.

Samurai, on the other hand, are completely different—they hone their bodies by squeezing every cell in their bodies and using spiritual energy as a guide to cultivate the samurai's "ki".

This extraordinary power is generally used for physical enhancement. It is much more cumbersome than the spiritual energy of an Onmyoji, but its power is far superior.

Mirage is the essence of the power of ghosts and gods, a level higher than the previous two. In terms of effect, it can be regarded as a combination of the two.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's will-o'-the-wisp is a kind of demonic fire that is born from the compression of a massive amount of mirage energy. The process of absorbing mirage energy and condensing will-o'-the-wisp is the work of the Hundred Demons Scroll.

Therefore, after his body was completely drained, Uesugi Kiyoshi suffered some aftereffects.

He was listless, every cell in his body was exhausted, and the direct result was that he was in a state of constant pain all over his body.

It's not that he can't move, it's just that it hurts when he moves.

According to doctors at the Collectors' Association, this condition could last one to two weeks.

The thoughtful Chairman Akutagawa immediately sent him a high-tech wheelchair produced by the Collectors Association. This thing looked like it could transform into a Transformer at any time. Its metallic and futuristic design was quite eye-catching. Sitting in it was a little embarrassing, but Uesugi Kiyoshi was not a masochist after all, so he accepted Chairman Akutagawa's kindness.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was currently in Li Fuyao's bookstore, specifically the Hyakumonkan (Hundred Tales Pavilion).

He was temporarily staying at the headquarters of the Collectors Association because he had made quite a few enemies now, and he was worried about the safety of those around him if he moved out rashly. As for accommodation, he wasn't worried.

Putting aside everything else, Dong Wenjue was quite generous; he gifted Uesugi Kiyoshi a dojo.

A dojo even larger than his master's dojo—of course, not in the prime location of the port area, but in the relatively remote Arakawa area.

Just like how Dong Wenju knew all along that Uesugi Kiyoshi's house was going to burn down.

No matter how remote the location, it's still Tokyo, and Tokyo's housing prices are beyond question.

The dojo was not far from the Hyakumonkan, and not far from the apartment where Uesugi Kiyoshi used to rent. Before coming here, he took a stroll around there and was quite satisfied with the environment.

Perhaps influenced by his master, he felt that having a dojo, establishing a sect, and passing on his skills was not a bad thing.

Uesugi Kiyoshi took a nap here. After waking up, he stared blankly through the hazy window at the rain outside.

Li Fuyao changed back into her usual ordinary shirt and jeans, and was now holding a charcoal pencil, sketching at her desk.

She noticed that Uesugi was awake. She glanced at his profile, smiled knowingly, and without disturbing the quiet atmosphere, began to sketch with charcoal again.

In her works, there are young swordsmen, wielding Onikiri and followed by Inugami, who slay any evil they encounter, regardless of whether it be demons or gods.

Uesugi Kiyoshi came here with a lot of questions he wanted to ask Li Fuyao, but when they actually met, he couldn't bring himself to ask them.

He wanted to know a lot.

The most important question is: what is the relationship between Li Fuyao and the great demon Qingxingdeng, the master of the Hundred Tales?

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was really no need to ask this question.

She must be someone possessed by a demonic soul, otherwise there's no way to explain that soul-devouring blue lamp.

However, unlike Nohara Kyoko and Azuma Maki, Li Fuyao can use Aoandon's abilities on his own. Furthermore, although his Hundred Demon Scroll clearly contains a painting of Aoandon, it does not indicate the need to collect the demon souls.

Asking these questions is pointless. The Hundred Demons Scroll is on my body, and I don't even know how it happened. What could an outsider possibly know?

So, staring blankly at the torrential rain, Uesugi Kiyoshi's question, which was on the tip of his tongue, hesitated and changed to another question.

"Fuyao, you've read a lot of books and are very knowledgeable. Have you ever heard of the Three Genji?"

Li Fuyao did not stop writing, and replied casually without any change in tone, "The Three Genji?"

"You mean the Minamoto clan that rose to prominence during the Heian period? The Seiwa Minamoto clan, which did produce many great figures."

"However, Qing."

Are you sure you're not mistaken?

"General Minamoto no Yorimitsu, and Minister of the Imperial Household Minamoto no Hiromasa."

"The Genji clan only had two heroes, not three."
