Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

"You mean, you spent a lot of time fighting in Hueco Mundo."

"Countless Hollows surround you."

"The top Hollows in Hueco Mundo are all trying to use their Hollow powers to corrupt and control you, attempting to kill you."

"Even when a powerful Hollow resorted to the Beauty Hollow's scheme, you resolutely refused to comply?"

Kyoraku Shunsui, carrying Katen Kyokotsu, slowly asked Shen Jue a question in return.

This is the underground conference room.

Shen Jue sat in the main seat and was forced to explain to the many Death God captains.

He had previously recounted his experiences in Hueco Mundo to the public.

Of course, Shen Jue embellished a small portion of it appropriately.

Shen Jue did indeed fight Heribel many times.

Harribel's strength after her release from her Zanpakuto was formidable, forcing him to use all his abilities.

When Stark and Grimmjow challenged him to a one-on-one fighting game match, they were both gritting their teeth, wanting to kill the character he was controlling.

As for the scheme, it was even simpler. The moment Nilu entered, she pulled him into her arms. What else could it be but a scheme?

Shen Jue felt that her explanation was reasonable and well-founded, enough to convince the Grim Reapers present.

"I have a feeling you're implying something." Kyoraku Shunsui frowned and pondered for a moment, but seeing Shen Jue's miserable appearance, he didn't press the matter further.

"I flee, Xu pursues."

"That white Hollow mask was something I stole from a Hollow in order to imitate its appearance and spiritual pressure."

Yes, that white Hollow mask was meticulously crafted for Shen Jue by Hueco Mundo scientist Szayelaporro.

"Then I kidnapped Mayuri Kurotsuchi from Hueco Mundo and forced him to open a passage to Soul Society for me."

"Only I know the hardships I went through."

As Shen Jue spoke, her tone became melancholic, and her emotions and demeanor both declined.

Kyoraku Shunsui's lips twitched.

Seeing that the boy had some injuries but his spiritual pressure was stable and he was lively and energetic, he knew that there was definitely a lot of exaggeration in what he said.

Perhaps those behind-the-scenes manipulators who tried to scheme against Shen Jue couldn't even catch up with the kid's exhaust fumes.

The pursuit and manhunt are very likely true.

But as for the kind of scheme that Mei Xu had planned, Kyoraku Shunsui felt that Shen Jue was definitely playing along, and it was exactly what he wanted.

In the following time, Captains Mayuri Kurotsuchi, Soi Fon, and others took turns questioning Shen Jue.

Second Division Captain Soi Fon and Twelfth Division Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi carefully verified Shen Jue's various actions in Hueco Mundo.

Shen Jue's statement basically matched the information Seireitei had about the movements in Hueco Mundo.

The inquiry did not last long.

Soon after, Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni issued the order to adjourn the meeting.

As a way to quell this turmoil, Shen Jue was fined ten years' salary, which was used to fund the renovation of the square in front of the First Squadron's barracks.

"It's over, I've messed up." Shen Jue walked out of the conference room, muttering to himself with a blank look in his eyes.

Kyoraku Shunsui, standing to the side, chuckled and patted Shen Jue on the shoulder, saying with a grin, "You little rascal, you've even survived the Mei Xu scheme."

Consider this small salary as a "peach blossom tax."

"Come on, let's go have a drink. It's on you."

Shen Jue's lips twitched as he said, "Where would I get the money to treat people right now?"

"It's okay, you can pay on credit." Kyoraku Shunsui laughed and, without saying another word, put his arm around his shoulder and walked out.

As the two were walking out, Shen Jue saw Hitsugaya Toshiro and Matsumoto Rangiku rushing over.

As the vice-captain of the 10th Division, Toshiro Hitsugaya has been in charge of the division's work and operations during this period.

Matsumoto Rangiku, the third seat of the 10th Division who originally wanted to slack off, had no choice but to busy herself with the work of the 10th Division after Shen Jue left.

Upon seeing Shen Jue with his arm around Kyoraku Shunsui, both of them showed expressions of relief, followed by a strong sense of resentment emanating from them.

"Oh dear, I suddenly remembered that I still have official business to attend to in the barracks," Kyoraku Shunsui said, clapping his hands as he sensed the two's resentment.

"Brother Shen Jue, let's drink again next time."

Having said that, Kyoraku Shunsui made a quick dash and ran away.

Shen Jue was speechless. It was the middle of the night, what official business could Jing Le Chun Shui possibly have to handle?

And don't think Shen Jue doesn't know that the official business of the Eighth Division's intelligence team is usually handled by the vice-captain. Kyoraku Shunsui's job is to carry his sake gourd and drink in the barracks every day.

There's nothing that can be done; being both a Shinigami noble and the Captain-Commander's prized student, Kyoraku Shunsui can do whatever he wants.

Although Shen Jue is not bad either.

"Hey Toshiro, Rangiku, aren't you happy to see your beloved Captain Shen Jue return alive from Hueco Mundo?"

"I'm so happy, Captain Shen Jue!"

"You don't look like you've been through a fierce battle."

Matsumoto Rangiku looked Shen Jue up and down and said in a low voice, "He seems more like someone who has just been drinking at a brothel and returned to the barracks in the early hours of the morning."

A woman's intuition is terrifying! Shen Jue's heart tightened, feeling like she had done something wrong as a child and been caught by her teacher.

Shen Jue knew that things had now come to a point of life and death.

He covered his eyes with his hands to hide his inner turmoil, then said in a pitiful voice, "This is so heartbreaking."

"I've always taken such good care of Rangiku."

"I never forget you when I'm drinking."

"Back when Toshiro was recruited, I went easy on him like the ocean."

"As it turns out, your captain just went through a life-or-death battle and barely escaped from Hueco Mundo back to Soul Society."

"You..."

"I'm sorry." Matsumoto Rangiku bowed decisively in apology, stopping Shen Jue from saying anything more.

The surging waves made Shen Jue's eyes light up, hidden between his fingers.

"It's alright," Shen Jue replied.

"I forgive you. Come on, tell me what's happened during this time."

"Little Toshiro, time to go home."

Hitsugaya Toshiro and Matsumoto Rangiku both sighed helplessly.

Shen Jue still had that seemingly unreliable demeanor, but as the captain of the Tenth Division...

Shen Jue single-handedly completed many dangerous missions in the Seireitei and the mortal world.

Therefore, although Shen Jue is usually unreliable, no Death Captain would criticize Shen Jue's attitude towards work.

Meanwhile, Ichigo Kurosaki and his companions, who had stormed into Rukongai, were ready, with the help of the Shiba siblings, to storm the Seireitei in their crane cannons.

Yoruichi Shihouin, in her black cat form, is outlining a plan to rescue Rukia Kuchiki.

She was not only the navigator of this operation, but also the rescue cat cart after the battle broke out in Seireitei.

"I wonder how Brother Shen Jue is doing."

"He's so strong, he should be fine, right?"

Yoruichi, wagging her cat tail, sighed in front of Ichigo Kurosaki.

Everyone was ready to storm the Seireitei.

The show is about to begin.
