Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

Looking at that familiar, smiling face, Uesugi Kiyoshi's lips curved into a rather affectionate smile.

He pondered for a moment, then spoke softly.

"I remember you loved me."

"Or maybe I remembered it backwards."

Chapter 299 The Five Elders

What does it mean if you remember "I love you" backwards?

Those who say you don't love me are probably single, right?

Of course it is. I love you.

Upon hearing this, Li Fuyao's eyes narrowed into crescents. She probably smiled more tonight than in all her previous lives combined.

"Not bad, you've improved. Compared to that stubborn blockhead you used to be, your sweet talk skills have improved quite a bit now."

"No wonder Xingzi is so deeply in love with you and can't live without you."

If you mention another girl while on a date with a girl, it's almost certain that something is going on beforehand.

As a man, Uesugi Kiyoshi instinctively felt a chill run down his spine.

But then he thought of Xingzi, and a sense of guilt welled up inside him—well, although he was a bit of a jerk, he preferred Li Fuyao to Xingzi, but giving up Xingzi was absolutely impossible for him.

"She is Xing."

Uesugi Kiyoshi's voice was very low, as if he were begging for mercy.

"Oh? You think she likes you because she's Xing?"

"No, Qing."

"Aoandon deeply loves the Lord of a Hundred Demons."

"And Li Fuyao is deeply in love with Uesugi Kiyoshi."

"That's how it should be, and it should be the same for Kyoko, do you understand?"

Li Fuyao extended her slender finger and lightly touched the tip of Uesugi Kiyoshi's nose, but he grabbed it.

"I understand."

Uesugi Kiyoshi felt the warm touch in his palm and nodded solemnly.

He repeated it again.

"I understand!"

Li Fuyao meant that the person in her heart was not the former Lord of a Hundred Ghosts, but the Uesugi Kiyoshi in front of her, because she was afraid that he might harbor resentment.

She was reminding him that the past life was the past life, and this life was this life; their affection was pure.

When you truly like someone, you naturally hope that you are perfect in their eyes.

Uesugi Kiyoshi wasn't one to dwell on things; what was so great about his own jealousy?

Li Fuyao knew Uesugi Kiyoshi too well. Seeing his expression, she breathed a sigh of relief and didn't let go, letting Uesugi Kiyoshi hold her hand. She chuckled and said, "What? Did you come to Kyoto to talk about love with me?"

"I'm fine, I have plenty of time. Are you sure everything's alright on your end?"

Uesugi Seiichi was taken aback and awkwardly withdrew his hand.

Now is definitely not the time for flirting.

He came to Kyoto with a specific purpose in mind.

Solving the attack on the Collectors Association was certainly one of the objectives, but the more important one was the matter related to the Lord of a Hundred Demons.

He was very interested in the legacy left to him by the Lord of a Hundred Demons in Kyoto, as well as the ancient families and shrines that had been preserved in Heian-kyo for thousands of years, and the extraordinary beings in the temples. Would he encounter some old friends among them?

These things may be the most important pieces of the remaining puzzle of his memory.

Of course, these things can't be rushed. The most important thing is to deal with those attackers first. Uesugi Kiyoshi's anger just now was genuine. How could he remain indifferent when someone close to him died tragically?

He was determined to avenge this grudge; it had been his nature for a thousand years.

Li Fuyao fully understood his thoughts, softened her tone, and comforted him, "I know, the Collectors Association seems to have suffered heavy losses?"

"Don't be sad. The pain of war is much more intense than this, but you can bear it."

Uesugi Kiyoshi shook his head, somewhat amused and exasperated, at this seemingly uncomfortable attempt at comfort.

"I'm not really heartbroken, just a little angry."

"I heard that the person behind this is surnamed Phoenix Courtyard. I remember your mother."

Uesugi Kiyoshi stopped speaking before he could finish.

Li Fuyao quickly took over.

"Yes, I checked. It's Haruma, Hououin Haruma. His father is one of the Hououin's Five Elders. He has some talent and can be influential even within the Zaibatsu."

"The Five Elders?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi heard a new term.

"Yes, the Five Elders were positions established at the end of the Toyotomi regime in Japan. They were held by five powerful daimyo under the Toyotomi regime. In the Phoenix In family, those old fogies gave themselves this nickname in order to show that they had real control over the zaibatsu's businesses."

"They correspond to five important figures with the surname Phoenix Academy, all of whom are powerful figures."

“Hatsuma Phoenix is ​​one of their sons. If he was the mastermind behind this, then it must have been at his father’s behest.”

"Indeed, their faction has a very tough and ruthless attitude towards superhumans; they are capable of doing things like putting pressure on the Collectors Association."

Uesugi Kiyoshi pondered for a moment and then nodded.

"Okay, I understand. I'll remember this debt."

"If, and I mean if, I had a conflict with them, would it affect your position within the family?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi looked somewhat worried; he wasn't sure what role Li Fuyao played in the Phoenix House.

The girl opposite him shook her head rapidly.

"You're underestimating me by saying that."

"Relax, relax. Even if you kill them, father and son, I have a way to calm things down at Phoenix Courtyard. I am the Lord of a Hundred Tales, how could I be controlled by mortals?"

"At least, with the Phoenix Inu family, you can cause as much trouble as you want."

"Now it's my turn to say this—I've got your back!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyes immediately turned somewhat comical; he seemed not to have expected that he would suddenly become a younger brother-level figure.

Before he could speak, Li Fuyao on the other side began to mutter to herself.

"Don't argue, I'm six months older than you!"

She was clearly referring to her age in this lifetime.

Uesugi Kiyoshi clearly had no intention of getting into a verbal argument with the girl he liked—or if he did, it wouldn't be this kind of argument.

He gestured with his lip, changing the subject, "Okay, I understand."

"Do you know who their accomplices are? I mean, those who made the move—are they superhumans, or demons and gods?"

Li Fuyao shook her head upon hearing this.

"Sorry, I really couldn't find that."

"Moreover, it seems that even Hououin Haruma himself can't contact the people who made the move. They were probably mercenaries that Hououin Haruma found by chance, and he himself didn't expect the effect to be so good."

"He probably didn't intend to make a big fuss, but things went beyond his expectations. A collector was seriously injured, and several field staff died. This was practically a sign of a complete breakdown in relations and war. He had no reason to do this right away."

"Of course, it's also possible that it's just my young master's willful act. Anyway, his father, that old fox, doesn't do things like that."

Touching his chin, Uesugi Kiyoshi's mind raced, and he murmured, "There's more to this than meets the eye?"

"tsk"

"What a hassle. Oh well, I've already sent someone to investigate. Superhumans and ghosts are conspicuous creatures; I don't believe they can hide!"

"Let me take care of these physically aggressive people first, then I'll go and have a chat with that young master from the Phoenix House."

"."

"By the way, Akutagawa told me that the big investor in the Collectors Association is also one of the Phoenix Institute's Five Elders."

"Have Phoenix Academy start."

Do you know this person?

Li Fuyao nodded with a charming smile.

"Of course I know them."

He is my maternal grandfather.

Chapter 300 Boss Wife

Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression showed obvious fluctuations and changes.

After this message circulated in his mind, a feeling of admiration for Li Taisui arose spontaneously in his heart.

The Grand Duke Jupiter is awesome!

Forced by his enemies to flee to a foreign land, he built a empire, swindled the young lady of a prestigious family, and now he has retired to enjoy his old age—although it may be a bit of an exaggeration, Li Taisui looks a bit old, but he is not yet old enough to enjoy his old age.

But this experience is legendary enough.

He originally thought that Phoenix Institute Nene was just a branch of a large conglomerate, and if that were the case, then the so-called elopement wouldn't be difficult at all.

However, the beloved daughter of the Phoenix Ina family, one of the six most powerful zaibatsu in Japan, was abducted by Li Taisui and willingly bore him children, breaking ties with her family.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's admiration was like a surging river, and the image of that little old man in his heart instantly became towering.

Incidentally, he also needed to reassess the strength of Ye San and Li Taisui.

He couldn't imagine how much resistance they had encountered to successfully escape the Phoenix House's encirclement and pursuit.

However, he had also seen Phoenix Courtyard Nene before; she was indeed a rare beauty, no wonder that tyrant was so captivated by her.
