Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

the other side.

Soul Society, West Rukongai District 1 - Runlin'an, outskirts.

This is a mountain forest, and also the former residence of the Shiba family, one of the five great noble families.

The mountain forest is not large; apart from Shiba's family, there are only a few small villages.

It is precisely because of their status as one of the five noble families that the Shiba family enjoys a transcendent position here.

The surrounding villages and towns are all centered around the Shiba family, and the people here are proud to follow the Shiba family.

Aozaki Mayuki and Ichimaru Gin stood by the window, enjoying the gentle breeze.

Herds of wild boars darted through the woods, their shouts, running, and the rustling of leaves filling the air.

The scenery in the mountains and forests is delightful.

The trees are laden with all sorts of fruits and vegetables, and the grass is covered with beautiful wildflowers of various colors. The fragrance of the flowers and grass brings a sense of peace.

"Those unreasonable guys are gone?"

Zhenyue stared at the little devil riding a wild boar in the distance, took a deep breath, and asked with a smile.

"Yes, they all withdrew this morning, and the 13th Gotei 13 sent soldiers to protect us."

"The Gotei 13 has not restricted our freedom; we are safe for now."

Gin Ichimaru spoke in a low voice with a serious expression, his heart beating rapidly beneath his seemingly calm face.

"Don't be so nervous..."

Aozaki Mayuki noticed Gin Ichimaru's unusual behavior, turned around, smiled, and patted him on the shoulder.

“I watched her spirit dissipate before I left.”

"No matter how thorough the investigation, it's impossible to find any useful clues."

"People's perceptions will tell them the 'truth' about things."

"The young lady and the young master have been eaten by Xu, and Xu was killed by the students."

Gin Ichimaru took a big gulp of sake and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

You make it sound so easy...

Even now, the thought of the earth-shattering feat he would have accomplished on this opportunity still makes Gin Ichimaru's palms sweat with nervousness.

Those are the four great noble families!!

The ruler of Soul Society, possessing supreme power and status!!

However, upon learning that Zhenyue's operation had succeeded, he also felt an indescribable sense of exhilaration.

The scenes of being harassed, ostracized, and threatened by those nobles over the past year involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Perhaps the existence of these creatures is a danger to others, and their numbers should be reduced as much as possible, but this should be done more discreetly, otherwise it might bring trouble upon ourselves...

Hmm, why would I even consider something like that?

"So what should we do next? Now that no one is restricting our freedom, should we report to the Gotei 13?"

"Ichimaru Gin asked in a deep voice."

Aozaki Mayuki pondered for a moment,

"It won't be long before the Gotei 13 sends people to investigate, so you should be prepared and not give anything away. We need to cooperate with the teacher to finish this act."

Gin Ichimaru's pupils contracted slightly, and he said with concern:

"An investigation? Didn't you say they couldn't find any useful clues?"

Aozaki Mayuki smiled leisurely:

"They can't find it."

In the process of killing Tsunayoshi Asahi, he did nothing more than kill them and deceive everyone with the power of Mirror Flower Water Moon.

Even if the Gotei 13 investigates the scene afterward, they will only find clothes scattered on the ground.

In that case, if they want to know the truth, they can only learn from the students and teachers.

In this way, it would be meaningful for me to use the power of the Mirror Flower Water Moon to create the illusion of a virtual soul burial training site.

Ichimaru Gin, Matsumoto Rangiku, and Ichimaru Gin are all students in the inn, and they will be questioned no matter what.

One person can lie, but two people can collude to give the same testimony.

But if five, ten, or twenty people use different but mutually corroborating statements, and ultimately point to the same result, how can we determine whether it is true or false?

"But in any case, the deaths of the four noble families are a major event."

"The Gotei 13 must appear to be doing their best, even if it's just on the surface, they must give a respectable account."

Gin Ichimaru suddenly realized, then frowned again:

Do you think the Gotei 13 will keep investigating?

Zhenyue shook her head.

"Impossible. The teacher wouldn't waste his energy on something like this, and the Tsunayo family probably doesn't care much about that woman either."

“I have already investigated. That woman is from a branch family of the Tsunayo family, and is not even the official heir to the family headship.”

"Furthermore, Senior Brother Kyoraku revealed that the 46th Chamber issued an order that all information related to this Soul Burial Internship must be kept confidential."

"The recent unexpected deaths of the four noble families remain a secret. Apart from the sages, judges, investigators, and other relevant personnel, no one knows anything about it."

"It seems that the Tsunayo family doesn't want too many people to know about this. As long as the teacher gives a 'reasonable' result, they will choose to accept it."

It's obvious that the Tsunayo family is concerned about saving face this time.

All they needed to do was demonstrate their stance to the various noble families and show them the power the Tsunayo family wielded within the Seireitei.

The entire Gotei 13 mobilized for the death of a member of a branch family.

That's enough for people to see!

Compared to this, the cause of Tsunayoshi Chaofeng's death seems less important.

Listening to Aozaki Mayuki's analysis, Ichimaru Gin couldn't help but sigh:

"I really don't know how you came up with these ideas... You're from Rukongai, yet you know so much about the nobles of Seireitei."

"It's nothing serious. I'm a minor nobleman in the human world. Although my power is nothing compared to that of the great nobles in Soul Society, we're the same in some ways."

Aozaki Mayuki chuckled:

"In the eyes of those who are obsessed with power, human lives without any value are meaningless, but losing face means losing prestige."

"Do you know what other meanings prestige has in the modern world?"

Gin Ichimaru shook his head.

“The reputation of power!” Zhenyue lowered her head and said, word by word, “It’s something they can’t give up.”

"You've planned all of this?" Gin Ichimaru was shocked. He took a deep breath and then couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Everything was actually under your control."

"You even said you want to be lazy in the future and make me do the thinking for you, which puts a lot of pressure on me."

Shinjuku smiled nonchalantly:

"Ichimaru, this little trick is nothing."

"If I didn't have the power of my Zanpakuto, if my spiritual pressure were inferior to those teachers and students."

"No matter how much I think, there's nothing I can do. Strength is the foundation of everything."

“Intrigue and deception are the survival tactics of the weak. I want real power, the power at the pinnacle.”

"Only with power can I truly trample those who dare to judge my fate under my feet."

He looked up at the sun high in the sky, his eyes filled with arrogance.

"No one was born standing in the heavens."

"Whether it's you, me, or God!"

"One day, I will stand in the sky, overlooking the world, and in charge of all things!"

Chapter 54 If I were a teacher

"Hey, did you hear? A man has moved into the boss's house."

"I know, the two of them seem very close, do you think they might...?"

"Even the boss has this day now. I never dared to imagine it before."

Sairukongai, Ward 3, Koibushiyama

While drinking tea, Shiba Kaien shook his head, trying to take the passerby's words as a joke. It took him a long time to suppress his irritation.

That sister, who's even more outspoken and has a rougher personality than any man, would bring a man home? What a joke! That's absolutely impossible!

There must be some mistake. Maybe this "big sister" doesn't refer to Kong He, but rather to a female leader of some emerging gang.

Shiba Kaien was also a little confused. The speculation that Kukaku was looking for a man might not be reliable, after all, it was just hearsay, and so far they hadn't found out who she was particularly interested in...

He thought of a man who was unforgettable at first sight, the kind of man who could easily make someone fall in love at first glance—Kuukaku for him…

Holy crap, there's one here!

"Brother Haiyan, tell the brothers, what kind of person is Sister Konghe's man?"

Pedestrians on the street recognized Shiba Kaien and warmly gathered around him.

"Yeah, yeah, I heard from Boss Yanjiu that the man is very handsome."

"I've heard about it too, and it's said that he's about to join the Gotei 13 and become a Shinigami!"

"Hey! How could my sister possibly have a man? That's not true, stop speculating." Shiba Kaien waved his hand, his appearance bringing a surge of excitement.

This man, who is passionate about cultivation, is the current head of the Shiba family and the leader of West Rukongai. Countless people in West Rukongai want to follow him.

Shiba Kaien's smile gradually froze, and he suddenly stood up and ran towards home, his pace quickening.

That damn guy is in my house!
