Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

As for the fact that he ate the little apricot, if it were to reach Li Fuyao's ears...

Uesugi Kiyoshi subconsciously shivered.

He knew the Lord of a Hundred Tales, and according to his logic, nothing major should happen.

But he also understands.

Using logic to analyze a woman's feelings is utterly ridiculous.

Feeling panicked, his mood naturally worsened. He raised the corners of his eyes, his expression turned fierce, and he seemed ready to fight.

"If you're really itching for a beating, I can test my skills against you—I'll allow you to use Rashomon, I'll only use a wooden sword, let's see if I can knock out all your teeth and make sure you can't spout so much nonsense anymore!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke immediately cowered.

"No! I was just joking."

"You're asking about that monk? I've already taken possession of his body, but it's not very useful. Not long after, his body turned to ashes, which is rather strange."

"I didn't bring many researchers with me this time. I'll show it to Edward when we get back to Tokyo; he should be interested in it."

"As for the Wuxin Temple you mentioned, the time was too short. We only had time to conduct a large-scale screening, and the results were not optimistic. To put it simply, there is no temple with this name that is officially registered or filed with the government in Kyoto."

"In other words, it's not a commercially operated temple. The monk's claim that it's 'famous in Kyoto' was a lie. Hopefully, the name 'Mushin-in' isn't a lie either, otherwise, the trail will go cold."

Uesugi Kiyoshi wasn't worried about the clues going cold. Shuten-dōji said he had memorized the aura and that given time, he could find the culprit. He still trusted the Demon King.

"Okay, then continue the investigation. Let me know when you have any results."

"Now, disappear before I get angry."

Ryunosuke Akutagawa grinned slyly, gave a perfunctory bow, and then disappeared in a flash.

Uesugi Kiyoshi clicked his tongue, not really paying attention to the bad news he had just received.

Can the monk run away, or can the temple run away?

As long as the group behind that monk continues to operate in Kyoto, they will inevitably leave clues. As long as there are traces, they will be found out sooner or later.

After walking a few more steps, they arrived at the restaurant entrance, and Uesugi Kiyoshi pushed the door open and entered.

Kyoko, who was sitting at the dining table lost in thought, looked up at the sound. Upon seeing Uesugi Kiyoshi, she let out a short gasp, then shyly lowered her head. Her fair skin immediately turned pink, making her look incredibly alluring.

She was still that easily frightened little white rabbit, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi was much more reassured.

It seems that because she has completely given herself to Uesugi-kun, her anxiety about being abandoned has lessened considerably, and her smile is now much clearer than before.

If it weren't for the third wheel next to him, Uesugi Kiyoshi would have been tempted to go up and kiss the cute little white rabbit.

Yes, there is a light bulb next to it.

Fujimura Chiba sat awkwardly next to Kyoko, somewhat flustered by Uesugi Kiyoshi's arrival. Looking at the sweet eye contact between the two just now, her gaze was filled with envy, but even more so with the excited fire of gossip.

She seemed very interested in the relationship between Kyoko and Uesugi Kiyoshi.

Uesugi Kiyoshi remembers that when Narumi Nobuna was looking at some strange magazines and muttering about "shipping," her expression was pretty much the same.

Feeling uneasy under his gaze, he sat down in his chair, coughed lightly, and prepared to get down to business.

"Good morning, Fujimura."

"So, have you found your mother yet?"

Fujimura Chiba's face immediately turned cold.

She gave a cold laugh, her tone humble and polite, yet chilling.

"Uesugi-senpai, thank you for your concern. We've found it."

"Among the pile of corpses in the store."

"That woman is finally dead!"

Chapter 353 Impossible

Uesugi Kiyoshi clapped his hands lightly, a playful smile playing on his lips.

“Nice expression.”

His voice was very soft, but Fujimura Chiba's heart skipped a beat, the ferocity on her face vanished, and she looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi timidly with some unease.

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't take it to heart and waved his hand.

"Don't advise others to do good if you haven't experienced their suffering; I understand this principle."

“I know what you’ve been through, I understand your pain, and I understand your feelings. I don’t think your hatred is a heinous thing, even if the target is your mother.”

"But don't let hatred control you."

"The path to transcendence is inherently fraught with many detours. If one's mind is not firm, it is common to die an unnatural death. You are now considered a half-demon, which makes it difficult for you to maintain a clear mind. Now that one of your mental obstacles has been removed, it is a good thing."

Anzu seemed to have just come to her senses, the blush on her face fading. She didn't understand what her boyfriend was saying to her junior, so she simply didn't blame him. She excitedly went to prepare breakfast for Uesugi Kiyoshi and brought out the warm food.

Yes, Kyoko can now proudly declare that Uesugi Kiyoshi is her boyfriend, or at least that's what she thinks.

Just as Kyoko finished her work and was about to go back to sit down, Uesugi Kiyoshi pulled her to sit next to him.

Kyoko was a little shy, but Uesugi Kiyoshi was looking at Fujimura Chiba across from him.

"Fujimura, what are your thoughts on combat?"

Seeing the somewhat puzzled look in Fujimura Chiba's eyes, Uesugi Kiyoshi added.

"Oh, I didn't explain it clearly. Don't misunderstand. It's not the kind of killing of those bad people. That doesn't count as fighting; it's just one-sided slaughter."

"You saw me sparring with Miyagawa Isamu yesterday, didn't you?"

"Are you interested in that kind of dance on the edge of a knife, the confrontation of extraordinary powers, and the life-threatening battles that could come at any moment?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi's language was gentle and had a mysterious allure.

It's not that he did anything underhanded; Fujimura Chiba is now a true "follower" of Uesugi Kiyoshi.

Her destiny star was inextricably linked to the Lord of a Hundred Demons; their fates were intertwined, one prospering and the other suffering. To her, Uesugi Kiyoshi's words were like a divine decree.

Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded knowingly as he watched the crimson light flashing in Fujimura Chiba's eyes and the thick demonic energy seemingly stirring behind her head.

"Okay, I understand. Your expression has already given you the answer."

"The monster behind your head should be the Futakuchi-onna. According to the ancient books I've read, it's a monster with extremely strong resentment. It's inevitable that you will become fond of violence."

"I'm quite open-minded and I've always believed that it's better to guide than to block. Since you're also interested, then go and do something for me."

Uesugi Kiyoshi turned his head slightly and nodded to Ueno Mitsuishi, who was standing by the door.

"Find a few competent field agents to give her a crash course, teach her some common sense, and introduce her to the association's business scope."

“It doesn’t matter to me if I support a few idle people, but since she has this intention, I can’t waste her talent.”

"Heh, the demonic aura that erupted from her last night really caught my attention. I'm starting to get interested in what kind of cult is behind turning her into this."

Uesugi Kiyoshi was talking to himself, and Fujimura Chiba nodded excitedly—she was indeed completely different from the little girl she used to be.

It seems that Fujimura Chiba is quite satisfied with the arrangements made for Uesugi Kiyoshi.

The man in front of her now held an infinitely high position in her heart; he was a "divine being."

She has witnessed miracles from the gods!

Her mother's death was her final release and a farewell to the past.

The deity before her was the beginning of her new life.

She prepared to embark on her journey with high hopes, even though bloodshed and danger would accompany her.

After saying these words, Uesugi Kiyoshi ignored Fujimura Chiba and turned to speak gently to Kyoko.

This little white rabbit was very obedient to him last night, and he was quite exhausted. It was only because the spirit of "Yingcao" was guarding his spirit platform that he doubted Xingzi would be able to get out of bed.

Kyoko, with Uesugi Kiyoshi holding her hand, recalled the madness of the previous night and completely lost the ability to think. She mumbled in response and kept moving closer to Uesugi Kiyoshi, as if she wanted to crawl into his arms.

Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled slightly, patted Kyoko's little head, and looked into the distance.

So many years.

Apricot, you're still exactly the same as before.

"Great"

Uesugi Kiyoshi knew that Kyoko wouldn't listen to him at this moment, so he didn't say anything more and just sighed softly.

Kyoko, just coming to her senses, heard this and stared with wide, puzzled eyes, asking in a soft, sweet voice, "What did Uesugi-kun say?"

"What's so good?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled brightly and squeezed Kyoko's hand.

"I mean, it's really great to have Kyoko by my side."

But in his heart he was thinking, "It's so good to have found you again!"

This was an incredible love confession to Xingzi. She felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and all her efforts over the past few months had paid off. She felt like she had finally achieved her goal.

Fujimura Chiba blinked, assessed the situation, smiled awkwardly, and, not wanting to be a third wheel any longer, quietly slipped away.

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't spend much time with Kyoko. They were practically inseparable all the time, so there was no need for them to be together all the time.

After finishing breakfast, Kyoko insisted on cleaning up the dishes herself. Uesugi Kiyoshi couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he left first. He needed to look up some information to prepare for the "work" in the next few days.

Not far down the corridor, Uesugi Kiyoshi saw Narumi and his sister coming towards him.

He raised an eyebrow and said, "Going out to visit friends so early again? Were you very popular back in the day?"

He was speaking to Narumi Shingo.

Narumi Shingo pursed his lips and shook his head, saying, "It's no fun staying cooped up all day. Kyoto is quite interesting. I wanted to come and see it for a while, but the Four Spirits Formation was too strong in restricting the power of yokai, so I was never able to do so. Now that I have the chance, of course I want to take a look."

"You still have time to worry about us? You've appeased that girl from yesterday? Tsk tsk tsk, you owed a lot of emotional debts back then, and I bet you still do now. You'll never be able to pay them off."

Uesugi Kiyoshi was most afraid of hearing such words, and waved his hand dismissively.

"Don't try to curse me!"

Then, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and his expression turned serious.

"By the way, I have something to ask you."
