Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

The busy tone lasted only a few seconds before the call was connected.
Listening to the soft breathing coming from the phone, Uesugi Kiyoshi suddenly couldn't think of anything to say.
Fortunately, the other side spoke first.
"Why are you calling me at this time? Are you in trouble?"
Li Fuyao's gentle voice came through.
Uesugi Kiyoshi took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "No, I'm almost in Kyoto and wanted to say hello to you."
"Oh, I know, it's because of Akutagawa's attack?"
"I've been investigating that matter, and there's something fishy about it. Since you're here, let's talk about it when we meet."
"I have a meeting to attend later. I'll send you my address. You go ahead and do what you need to do, and we'll arrange a time to meet up later."
“I’ve been thinking these past few days that Akutagawa should ask for help, and I figured you were coming soon. Sure enough, my wait has come.”
Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't answer, but listened silently, thinking of the girl who had been by his side a thousand years ago, nagging him and yet arranging everything for him in perfect order, and subconsciously sighed.
"Has it been a thousand years?"
"."
Why are you so stubbornly persistent in your delusion towards me?
He spoke from the heart, which made Li Fuyao pause.
On the other side, in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of a skyscraper, Li Fuyao, dressed in a black dress and lightly made up, looked at the scenery outside the window, holding her phone, and suddenly froze.
A few seconds later, a relieved smile crept onto his lips.
"I"
"My feelings for you go far beyond mere obsession."
Chapter 290 A Thousand Years of Peace in the Capital
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, a beautiful young woman in a black dress spoke with a resolute expression, her smile a mixture of shyness, nostalgia, and relief.
"My infatuation with you goes far beyond mere obsession!"
I have been wandering through the cycle of reincarnation for thousands of years, just to meet you here again.
Every day, every moment of this thousand years, she had to find a source of motivation to keep going.
So, apart from the boy she longed for.
What else could it be?
Li Fuyao didn't continue her lamentations. She frowned and thought for a moment before speaking.
Do you remember?
"Well, it shouldn't be incomplete. I was the one who sealed those fragments of memory into the scroll. I can probably guess what you're thinking about."
"It's alright, that's not important. I'll tell you the rest at the appropriate time."
"You need to be patient and wait a bit."
Li Fuyao didn't give Uesugi Kiyoshi any time to react, and quickly gave him a few instructions, which Uesugi Kiyoshi could only agree to repeatedly.
Most of the memories from past and present lives have been revived.
Now, Uesugi Kiyoshi is much more relaxed and has fewer doubts in his mind.
If even Li Fuyao cannot be trusted.
Then he will find it very difficult to find someone in this world he can completely trust.
"I understand. I'll go see Akutagawa first, and then I'll come find you."
Li Fuyao pouted and spoke in a slightly exaggerated, coquettish tone, like a jealous young girl.
"So eager? Akutagawa Ryunosuke is in trouble, and you're so concerned about him, so eager to avenge him?"
"When did your relationship become this good?"
Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled slightly and asked in return, "Do you think I met with you to discuss the Akutagawa attack?"
"It's not a small matter. I don't need your help. I can handle it myself."
"."
"I just miss you a little."
Uesugi Kiyoshi could clearly hear Li Fuyao's breathing pause.
Then, the joy in her voice was clearly audible.
"Hmph. You know how to talk."
"it is good"
"So."
See you in a bit~
The two spoke in unison for the last sentence.
They've said this to each other many times.
The first time, Yuan Qingya didn't arrive in time, resulting in Qingxingdeng's collection of books being burned to ashes, and he himself almost lost his life.
The second time, Aoandon went on a journey, and when she returned, Gen Kiyoya had suffered repeated setbacks and fallen into a slump.
The third time, Minamoto no Kiyomasa went to Heian-kyo alone to die, and said these last words in the moment before he died.
It seems that all of these events have ended in tragedy.
But this time.
Not anymore.
After hanging up the phone, he rubbed his fingers together, a faint sword light flashing. It seemed that Uesugi Kiyoshi had become even more adept at controlling the suddenly surging sword energy within his body.
This is his power; he should be able to use it as easily as his own arm.
Putting aside his recent emotional turmoil and memories of his past life, Uesugi Kiyoshi began to ponder his purpose this time.
All he can do now is to keep going on the path of "becoming stronger".
The power he currently possesses, and the one with the greatest potential, is "Qi".
Next in line are "faith" and "mirage".
Those abilities from the Hundred Demon Scrolls, exclusive to yokai, are the worst, like water without roots, not worth relying on.
Uesugi Kiyoshi is now constantly training himself to use "ki" and strives to master it as soon as possible, and then seek new breakthroughs.
As for the purpose of the trip to Kyoto, it was very simple: to avenge Ryunosuke Akutagawa, wipe out the people or demons who attacked the Collectors Association, and kill the mastermind behind it. Once that was done, the trip would be a complete success, and they could return to Tokyo with their men.
Hmm. And then there's Li Fuyao. Her mother is the eldest daughter of the Phoenix House family. She's been in Kyoto for so long, I wonder if she's run into any trouble?
I'll also help her resolve her troubles, and then we'll go back to Tokyo together.
Such a happy decision!
As Uesugi Kiyoshi made his decision, what he didn't see was that in the rearview mirror, Higashima Maki slowly opened her eyes and looked at his back with a complicated expression.
She heard the entire phone call just now, of course.
Everything else was fine, but that sentence, "I miss you a little," really hit her hard, leaving her with mixed feelings.
"So it really is Sister Fuyao?"
"Why."
"Sir, you've clearly only met Sister Fuyao a handful of times, haven't you?"
"."
"Kagura is right."
"I can't wait any longer!"
In the ensuing silence, everyone present was lost in their own thoughts, except for Xingzi, who remained soundly asleep, carefree.
In this somewhat somber atmosphere, the convoy gradually drove into Kyoto.
Kyoto is located in western Japan, in the southern part of Kyoto Prefecture, and is an important city in the Osaka metropolitan area, one of Japan's three major metropolitan areas.
When it comes to Japan, the cities that immediately come to mind are Tokyo, Kyoto, and Nagoya.
If Tokyo is Japan's economic and political center, like a young, modern woman, then Kyoto is Japan's cultural center, like a mature woman in a kimono who has weathered the test of time.
In Japanese history, Kyoto served as the "capital" of Japan for a continuous thousand years. Although Japan does not have a capital city in law, Tokyo is generally considered to be the capital.
The name Heian-kyo (Peaceful Capital) originates from this.
Kyoto City boasts a wealth of historical sites due to its long history, making it a symbol of Japanese culture. The city is dotted with shrines, temples, and well-preserved ancient buildings.
Similarly, this may also be the area in Japan where supernatural powers are most concentrated.
The oldest bureaucracy, codenamed "Heian-kyo," was almost entirely based in this city.
In order to keep these Onmyoji in check, the Shinsengumi, which has a short history but whose members are quite powerful, moved westward from its original headquarters in Tokyo, now facing Heian-kyo from afar.
In addition, some shrines and temples also possess a certain degree of supernatural power. Many of the monks, shrine maidens, and priests are not just for show, but have real abilities.
That's why Ryunosuke Akutagawa found himself in such a passive situation.
Because the people he brought with him absolutely did not have the means to run rampant in Kyoto.
Either side, if they send out their main force, would be enough to make the president of the collectibles association hesitant and only able to passively defend.
The Onmyoji have inherited so many shikigami that even if they use a swarm of people, they can solve most of the troubles in the world.
Moreover, in the inner world of Kyoto, the Genji, Fujiwara, and Taira clans
These ancient families have never disappeared.
This is a place of extraordinary revelry, favored by gods and spirits.
How can a single Rashomon gate compare to the accumulated wealth of Heian-kyo over a thousand years?
