Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

At first, Yagyu Teppei was filled with emotion, but in the end, his eyes turned red as he looked at Kamiizumi Hidekawa.

"Hey, Hidekawa! Have your disciple come to Nara for some training!"

"We can reveal all the secret techniques of our Yagyu Shinkage-ryu school to him."

"A sword that kills, a knife that brings life, a knife that can be taken without a knife, the Moon Manual, he can learn it at will."

"Yes, I can also teach him the secrets of the Yagyu Shinkage-ryu school—as long as he calls me 'Master'."

“Perfect timing, Ah Lian also needs a partner to spar and grow together! Among her peers, I can’t think of anyone who can spar with your apprentice besides Ah Lian.”

Kamiizumi Hidekawa stared at Yagyu Teppei, smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and uttered two words.

"Fuck off!"

"Your Yagyu Shinkage-ryu style can do it, but my Shinkage-ryu style can't?"

"If you can teach it, why can't I?"

"Don't give me that crap. This is my last disciple. Anyone who dares to try and take her away will have to spar with me first!"

Kamiizumi Hidekawa saw through Yagyu Teppei's true intentions at a glance.

Seeing that he couldn't fool his friend, Yagyu Teppei clicked his tongue a few times, shrugged, and didn't continue the conversation.

He wasn't particularly envious. His youngest son, Yagyu Ren, was hailed as the strongest swordsman of the younger generation. Of course, that was before today. But even after witnessing Uesugi Kiyoshi's skills, Yagyu Teppei didn't think his son would lose.

This is a father's confidence in his son.

After showing off to his friends and enjoying their envious glances, Kazumi Hidekawa coughed lightly and straightened his voice.

Uesugi Kiyoshi kept his eyes down, ignoring the teasing of his seniors. His face was expressionless, and his gaze was distant as he pondered matters of his past and present lives. However, in the eyes of those sword masters, all of this was a sign of composure and calmness, which further enhanced their evaluation of him.

"clear."

Hearing his master call his name, Uesugi Kiyoshi slightly raised his eyes and revealed a smile.

"Master, disciple is here."

Kamiizumi Hidekawa nodded and said solemnly.

"Go to Kyoto this year, participate in the Imperial Examination, and bring back the title of Sword Master for me."

"We cannot lose."

Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded without hesitation.

"Yes, Master."

He didn't ask about the specific procedures, what the imperial trial was, or who he was going to fight, let alone the possibility of winning or losing.

All he knew was that his master wanted him to win.

Then we'll win.

Besides, going to Kyoto is just a side trip, isn't it?

Seeing his disciple's expression and attitude, Kamiizumi Hidekawa was even more satisfied and gave him a few more instructions.

"No need to rush."

"My seminar with my old friends is over. We'll be going out together soon, it shouldn't take long."

"I'll go with you when I get back to Tokyo."

"I don't trust you to go by yourself."

Kamiizumi Hidekawa's fatherly demeanor drew scorn from Yagyu Teppei.

"Alright, alright, stop pretending."

"I can see your tail wagging from a mile away—do you think I don't know what you're up to?"

"You just want to open the eyes of those old fogies in Kyoto and let the whole world know that you, Kamiizumi Hidekawa, have a perverted disciple!"

"You're still not at ease? Putting everything else aside, just look at this sword energy alone. Where would you not trust your disciple to go?"

"With swords piercing the sky, neither gods nor demons can stand in their way!"

"Stop pretending! It's disgusting! Hurry up and stop rambling."

"Didn't Sakurai say he had something else to say?"

"Don't forget, Sakurai traded his family's heirloom, the Myoka Maru, for that Kenshin Seed I had, and then gave it to you. You should be grateful for his kindness!"

Kamiizumi Hidekawa looked impatient, but he smiled kindly at Uesugi Kiyoshi.

"Okay, someone's making a racket. I can't even have a chat with you. People these days are getting less and less civilized."

"You have just awakened your sword heart. You should hone your mind and strength properly. Daily meditation is essential. You should also be careful—at this time, you are easily invaded by evil thoughts. Those dark spirits and gods love fledglings like you who have just stepped into the awakening stage."

"I heard that things have settled down in Tokyo and there's nothing to worry about. You can stay put for a while and wait for me to come back."

Uesugi Kiyoshi bowed slightly to show he understood, and seeing that his master seemed about to hang up, he hurriedly spoke.

"Master, do you need my help with what you're about to do?"

"Now, I can help you!"

In front of outsiders, Uesugi Kiyoshi always used a respectful title when addressing his master; he never missed such a detail.

Shangquan Xiuchuan burst into laughter.

"Don't worry about me, Qing. I'm not so old that I can't lift a sword."

"We old folks are going out to stretch our muscles, don't come and join in the fun."

"."

"Rin! Listen carefully to what I'm saying. I see you've gained weight again. Is it because Qing spoils you and hasn't controlled your food intake?!"

"Hey Qing, Ah Lin, keep a close eye on her. If she needs a beating, then beat her up. Don't be soft-hearted."

“You’re her senior brother, if she dares to disobey, I’ll deal with her when we get back.”

Despite being a doting father, Kamiizumi Hidekawa spoke with extreme firmness, truly like a strict father.

Uesugi Kiyoshi, to save face for his master, readily agreed, while Izumi Rin huddled behind him like a quail; she was still quite afraid of her father.

A few seconds later, the call ended.

Uesugi Kiyoshi breathed a long sigh of relief.

He gazed at the sword light that moved from his fingertips with his will, his eyes sparkling.

Its power has increased again.

Then

Shouldn't he also know the truth behind this power?

Chapter 269 Blind Date and Foxfire

On the other side, several swordsmen dressed in kendo uniforms were gathered together, loudly discussing Kamiizumi Hidekawa's beloved disciple, strolling down the corridor of a hot spring inn without any regard for their image.

The hot spring inn seemed to have been booked out; there was no one around, not even any staff.

Kamiizumi Hidekawa forced a straight face, surrounded by guards in the middle, becoming the focus of the conversation.

Yagyu Teppei, standing to the side, grumbled and made sarcastic remarks every now and then, his expression like that of a lemon, clearly showing his sourness.

Suddenly, a blindfolded swordsman seemed to have stirred up an interesting topic.

"Hey Xiuchuan, how old is your disciple? I think he's no more than twenty."

Kamiizumi Hidekawa tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Qing should have turned sixteen by now. This child has a calm demeanor and a mature mind, but he is actually still young; he's just precocious."

The blindfolded swordsman's single eye gleamed slightly. He pushed forward, shoving aside the person next to Uezumi Hidekawa, and moved closer, putting his arm around Uezumi Hidekawa's shoulder. They lowered their voices, as if they were whispering to each other.

“I said, Hidekawa, you know about the family background of our Hasegawa Nakajo school.”

“I have a granddaughter who is sixteen this year. She is also learning the family’s swordsmanship. She will definitely be able to enter the extraordinary realm before she turns twenty.”

“Our Tao is absolutely gorgeous—why don’t you want to consider bringing the two young people together?”

"What if it works?!"

"Don't worry, I don't want your apprentice to marry into the family. In the future, when the two of them have a child, they will choose a boy and hand him over to me to train. We will pass on all the sword techniques of our Hase-Chō-ryū school to him!"

Before the blindfolded swordsman could finish speaking, many other swordsmen, who seemed to have suddenly realized something and opened the door to a new world, interrupted him.

The first to speak was the swordsman named "Ito".

"Don't listen to that brat Hasegawa's nonsense! Hidekawa! He just wants to be your father's generation and take advantage of you! Don't fall for it!"

That makes sense. If that thing had gone through, Uezumi Hidekawa would have been unfairly demoted by a generation.

After saying that, Kengo Ito changed the subject.

"My family is different. We are the Ito Itto-ryu, so I don't need to say more about our family's wealth, right?"

“I have a young daughter, um. She’s only fourteen this year, but it’s okay. In two more years, the two of them will be a good match in age.”

When should we arrange a meeting between them?

The gathering of sword masters instantly turned into a matchmaking event for middle-aged and elderly people to find partners for their children.

There's a reason for this scene.

The children born from the union of extraordinary individuals do indeed have a higher chance of becoming extraordinary themselves and possess better aptitude.

Perhaps it's a matter of natural selection in genetic development. Take Rin Uezumi as an example. Putting aside her gluttonous power linked to the soul of her ancestors, just in terms of swordsmanship talent, Rin is also at the top level. She even awakened her own sword heart—and Rin is only sixteen years old.

Calling him a genius is no exaggeration.

However, compared to Uesugi Seiichi, Rin's brilliance was clearly somewhat dimmed.

That's genius, that's freakish.

If we were to marry him off to our family, wouldn't our descendants be better than the last?

Kamiizumi Hidekawa looked astonished, seemingly still not quite understanding what was happening.

These sword masters are all from the ancient sword-fighting circle. They know the ins and outs of this profession and take in disciples. Once a disciple has mastered the art, the master's position in the disciple's heart is naturally secure.

Therefore, this gap naturally needs to be opened by Kamiizumi Hidekawa.
