Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

They were even created by the lower nobles and new nobles to check and balance the higher nobles, and the "Gold Seal Noble Council" was more of a decision-making power over the internal affairs of the nobility.

……

When Yoruichi Shifeng defected, the elders of the main family seized power from Yoruichi's younger brother Yushiro...

Initially, the new head and clan elders were terrified, fearing that they would end up like the Shiba clan - the Shiba clan had proven with their abilities that even the five great nobles could fall completely.

Yilong, who was a rising star from the side branch of the family, came up with a plan at that time.

In exchange for giving up the seat on the "Gold Seal Noble Council", change track and strive for a seat in the "Mao Forty-Six Rooms"!

In the past, they would definitely not agree to such "self-degradation" behavior, and they would not take the suggestions of Yilong, a side branch, to heart, and they even did not take Yilong seriously.

But at that time...

With the example of the Shiba clan before their eyes, they also understood that by swimming downwards on their own, they could at least preserve their heritage and accumulate strength. This was better than being expelled from the Soul Society after losing several powerful figures in succession like the Shiba clan!

Yilong's plan was very successful.

Over the past hundred years, the Shifengyuan clan has regained its strength, and some even want to "get rid of the donkey after it has served its purpose."

……

At this moment, looking at the judges and sages present, Yilong grinned.

Then, ignoring all of them, Yilong said directly: "Captain Aizen, you are too careless, aren't you? The head of the guards almost spread the news just now."

For a moment, all the sounds around disappeared.

Gradually, the guards behind Yilong also disappeared, and the sages and judges fell on the tables, chairs and the ground, with blood splattered everywhere...

Judging from the coagulation of the spirit particles that make up the blood, a long time must have passed, but this large crime scene is well preserved.

At the same time, Aizen, who was wearing glasses like Yilong, but had a serious and good-natured look on his face, had a different demeanor than usual. He was sitting on the first seat with his legs crossed in a frivolous manner, and was looking at Yilong with a smile.

"I did it on purpose. This way it will be more exciting and you will know what you are doing." Aizen said in a friendly tone.

Chapter 15 White Hair

"No, no, no, please don't pursue this kind of excitement."

In response to Aizen's self-narration, Ichiryu rolled his eyes.

"Anyway, we still have you... right?" Aizen looked like he trusted Ichilong very much.

Yilong shook his head and said, "From the beginning, I felt that this method was too risky... Can we only use the power of the double killing to take it out? Is there no other way? And since we have already controlled the 46th room, why not just bring the execution forward?"

"Indeed, double killing is just the simplest and most direct method. But since it was put in by Urahara Kisuke, there must be other ways to take it out. After all, he is a man who pursues perfection, and he would never have the idea of ​​burning his boats... There may be information in the Technical Development Bureau, but even Captain Mayuri Kuroda of the Technical Development Bureau is not that simple." Aizen explained patiently.

"Kurobuti Mayuri? Can't we just use that to hit him?" Yilong said, pointing at the Zanpakuto on Aizen's waist.

Ichiryu didn't think that if Aizen really wanted to go to the Technology Development Bureau to look for something, Kurotsuchi Mayuri would be able to stop him.

"Mirror Flowers and Water Moons? It can indeed hypnotize all spirits, even all conscious beings, but... it's not just 'conscious beings' that can be an obstacle. Compared to the risk of sneaking into the core of the Technology Development Bureau, using double killing is actually easier. As for early execution... I will consider it. Thank you for your suggestion." Aizen said as a matter of course.

Indeed, in the "certain future" that Ichiryu saw, Aizen also used technical methods to remove the Hougyoku from Rukia's body, and...

Indeed, in that future, Mayuri Kurotsuchi was badly beaten by the Quincy and temporarily lost his ability to move effectively.

At this moment, footsteps were heard behind Yilong, and Gin Ichimaru also walked in.

"Isn't this Captain Ichimaru? Did he just meet Bakumatsu? How about he make this stagnant Soul Society move a little?" Yilong asked, turning his head slightly after discovering it.

"Although his strength is not that great, his eyesight is really good, and... like me, he has white hair!" Ichimaru Gin said meaningfully.

"Eh? Could it be that he has some relationship with Captain Hitsugaya? It seems we need to investigate." Yilong said casually.

"Who knows..." Ichimaru Gin then acted as if he had something to discuss in secret with Aizen.

Seeing this, Yilong also said tactfully: "I will go to visit Captain Fuzhu. Although the people in the Fuzhu family rarely contact him, we have to be on the safe side."

"Thank you for your hard work." Aizen said politely.

……

Yilong thought about it on the way. He had already promised Captain Soi-Fong that he would not cause trouble today. But if he went directly to the 13th Division, might he be misunderstood as a provocation?

Although Yilong's supervisory team is relatively independent and does not have to listen to the captain of the second squad, after all, that woman...

So in order to avoid misunderstanding, Yilong prepared to buy a portion of "Fuqi Feipian" as a gift for the visit.

Who would give a cold look to a guest who brings a gift?

However, the traditional snack "Fuqi Feipian" that has been passed down for thousands of years is not very high-end and cannot be bought in Soul Society, so... Yilong bought some "beef offal" and made a portion for Ukitake himself - of course there are cows in Soul Society, and there are spiritual creatures who practice spiritual pressure and also need to eat.

The connection between the spirit life of Soul Society and the instrument life of the real world is far more than just a simple conversion of "life and death".

……

Yilong brought the "Fuqi Feipian" and just arrived at the door of the 13th Squad's barracks. The guard immediately became nervous. Seeing Yilong trying to walk in carelessly, the guard boldly stopped him and said, "Stop... ahem, I mean... please stay. Vice Captain Shifengyuan, what can I do for you?"

The members of the 13th Division are generally unhappy with Shihouin Ichryuu - half of it is because of the previous impression, loyal people are bound to have bad relationships with others; the other half is because... one of the few cute girls in the team is going to be executed, there are always some unreasonable people who will think that Shihouin Ichryuu is slandering!

"I'm here to visit Captain Ukitake." Yilong didn't blame them.

"I'm sorry, Captain Ukitake is unwell..." The gatekeeper wanted to refuse, and he was not lying.

"Yeah, it's an old problem. I know... I even brought some Qiqi Feipian (Fried Beef and Oxtail Slices) with me. What you eat will replenish what you need! Hahaha..."

Yilong sees Fuzhu coughing up his lungs every time, so isn't this a way to nourish him?

Thirteenth Squadron Soldier: ...

Just when some of these soldiers were about to be provoked, the third seat, Kotsubaki Sentaro, rushed over and stopped the other soldiers. He reluctantly said to Ichiryuu, "Vice Captain Shifengyuan, Captain Ukitake invites you!"

Yilong didn't find it strange. He had just released spiritual pressure, so no matter how sick Ukitake was, he wouldn't be unable to feel it... Otherwise, he wouldn't have been sick, but had died suddenly.

Sentaro Kotsubaki, who has a white headband on his head and a goatee, is undoubtedly a die-hard fan of Captain Ukitake...it's no exaggeration to say that he is a "Ukitake-con". At this time, he is very wary of Ichiryu Shihouin, and is not very willing for him to come to "visit" the sick Captain Ukitake at this time.

"Captain Fuzhu hasn't seen anyone these two days?" Yilong asked meaningfully.

However, Sentaro did not seem to notice anything. After thinking about whether Shifengyuan's words had any hidden meaning, he said honestly: "No, it was Vice Captain Omaeda who entertained the guests."

When we arrived outside Yuqian Hall where Ukitake was recuperating, we saw that the fourth seat holder, Toutetsu Kiyon, who had short orange hair and looked a bit tomboyish, was also there. When she saw Shihouin Ichiryu, she was as alert as Sentaro.

However, Yilong acted as if he didn't notice it and said enthusiastically: "I heard that Captain Ukitake was sick. This is a gift... It's the Fuqi Feipian I made by myself!" Then he handed it to Sentaro.

"Excuse me, cough cough cough... Vice Captain Shifengyuan is too polite... cough cough... I'm angry." Ukitake Jushiro is worthy of being the most cowardly captain among the Gotei 13. At this moment, he seemed to be unaware of Ichiryu's ridicule.

At this time, Ukitake Jushiro was still lying on the couch, and seemed to have just gotten up.

Then Ukitake said to Sentarou and Yuune, who didn't know whether to accept the offer or not: "You can leave... ahem... by the way, here's Vice Captain Shifengyuan's... ahem... gift, you guys keep it... ahem... you can eat it together tonight."

Then Ukitake invited Ichiryuu to "come in for a detailed discussion", and Sentaro and Yuune left reluctantly.

It seems that Ukitake Jushiro's sick leave is really justified - looking at his face, you can tell that this guy's lung disease is indeed acting up.

Yilong doesn't know if having no lungs is considered a lung disease, so let's just assume it is...

"I heard that Captain Fuzhu was in poor health, and I have been worried about him." Yilong consoled with a smile.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 16: Good imagination, continue next time

"Well, cough cough... my health... ah, thanks to Vice Captain Omaeda, who always... cough cough cough... helps me deal with a lot of things on weekdays. Otherwise... cough cough cough... I don't know how much important work would be delayed, and I also feel... cough cough... uneasy." Ukitake seemed to be having difficulty speaking at this time.

Anyone with a little common sense would have said goodbye when seeing how hard he was trying to speak.

However, Yilong seemed not to notice anything and asked Ukitake calmly, "Captain Ukitake, what do you think of the penalty result of Mao's 46th room this time?"

“Indeed… ahem… it’s a bit heavy, but considering… ahem… the lax laws and regulations in Soul Society have been falling apart recently… ahem… Mao Forty-Sixth Chamber should also want to… ahem, enforce the laws… ahem… and the head Kuchiki… the head… ahem…” Ukitake coughed and shook his head as if he was out of breath.

Yilong felt uncomfortable after hearing this, and secretly pinched his earrings - and added a ghost technique on them to mask the sound of coughing.

Well, this way you don’t have to feel sad and heartbroken when listening to it!

Ichiryu understood what Ukitake hadn't finished saying - perhaps Ukitake felt that the reason the sentence was so heavy was to encourage Kuchiki Byakuya to plead for mercy?

After all, the nobles of Soul Society have become corrupt to a certain extent...

As the head of the noble Kuchiki family, the self-disciplined Byakuya Kuchiki is definitely an outlier among the "aristocrats".

On the one hand, Ukitake was indeed heartbroken by Byakuya Kuchiki's determination - even if his "sister" was to be executed, he would never "beg for mercy". On the other hand, he also understood Kuchiki's position very well, and even... supported it!

Ukitake himself was born into the Ukitake family, a lower-class noble family, and he understood all this very well - it must be said that Ukitake, who was in a higher position, thought more highly than others... At least he did not suspect too much that it was "Shihouin Ichiryu's slander."

Yilong also felt that Fuzhu’s idea actually made sense!

This is exactly the reason why Kuchiki Byakuya didn't "beg for mercy"...

After "adopting Rukia" in violation of the rules, Byakuya Kuchiki has vowed never to violate the "rules" again. He must do as his grandfather said - the Kuchiki family must set an example of nobility.

Even though Byakuya Kuchiki was the one who least wanted Rukia to be executed, he just stood there and didn't go to "beg for mercy."

This is not "stubbornness", but... Soul Society really needs such nobles. Even the nobles of Soul Society have become so rotten under Byakuya Kuchiki's "leading by example"...

If even Byakuya Kuchiki "falls", I'm afraid the bottom line will be even worse.

“Oh, I didn’t expect that the boss of Xiumu would actually…” Yilong shook his head and agreed with Fuzhu’s words.

In fact, this is true...

Unless it was infighting among the nobles, how could a noble be sentenced to death so easily?

Not to mention a noble family like the Kuchiki family!

Under normal circumstances, even if Byakuya Kuchiki was bored and went to kill a few innocent Shinigami to pass the time, as long as he was willing to go to the "Gold Seal Noble Council" or the "Mao Forty-six Chambers" to do some public relations, the Forty-six Chambers would simply announce on the spot that the people killed were traitors, and the head of the Kuchiki family was brave in killing the enemy and should be commended.

"No, it must be because of Captain Kuchiki that... ahem, I spoke out of turn." Ukitake was about to sigh, but then he remembered who was in front of him and quickly stopped talking.

Yilong looked at Fuzhu curiously - I blocked out coughs, but I still heard your "cough cough"... Those two coughs were fake coughs, right? You coughed so hard, and you still fake coughed intermittently?

"Haha, it's the boss who is rotten wood who doesn't know how to adapt." Yilong made a sarcastic remark that was very consistent with his position.

Obviously, Ukitake Jushiro had already felt that the reason why the "Main Forty-six Chambers" made a fuss and sentenced Rukia heavily was to drag Kuchiki Byakuya into the water. After all, this "benchmark" was too unsociable.

In Ukitake Jushiro's opinion, this was a threat from the nobles to the Kuchiki family. If Kuchiki Byakuya took a step back, he could save his sister's life, but this "benchmark" would be greatly reduced in the future!

It’s a very aristocratic, and sensible idea—Ukitake was born into an aristocratic family, understands aristocrats, and also…critics of these aristocrats in his heart!

If Mao Room 46 had the chance, he might really do so.

But they didn't have this opportunity. From the moment they ordered the capture of Rukia, the forty-six chambers became forty-six corpses...

If Byakuya Kuchiki really went to "beg for mercy", he would only be surprised to find out that the Kuchiki family is the oldest noble family in Soul Society and one of the four major noble families now. How could I, the head of the family, be unable to beg for this mercy?

At that time, he will indirectly discover the weirdness of Room 46, and it is very likely that he will then realize Aizen's conspiracy.

But... there is no "if"!

Kuchiki Byakuya had no intention of compromising.

Ichiryu even suspected that Aizen was sure that Byakuya Kuchiki would not do this.

At this point, Yilong had basically figured out that Ukitake didn't know anything, otherwise it would be hard for this sickly guy to act so naturally. However, he still didn't give up and continued to ask, "Captain Ukitake, what do you think about the travel disaster?"

"The 13th Division is a purification team. The Travellers... are human beings and have nothing to do with our team." Ukitake didn't seem to want to say much in this regard.

But Yilong pretended to be surprised and asked: "Huh? But there is a deputy god of death among them!"

Fuzhu's expression suddenly changed.

Even if he blocked out the coughing sound and only looked at the "image", Yilong could see that he was coughing even harder...

Upon seeing this, Yilong quickly stepped forward and patted Ukitake on the back, saying, "The first generation of substitute Shinigami is Captain Ukitake's companion, right?

"No, no, no, Captain Ukitake, don't be impatient. I don't mean to suspect that you are colluding with him...

“I just thought you would care about the other deputy death gods!

"Speaking of which, Mao-46th Room is so concerned about this travel disaster, maybe it's because he's thinking of that...what's his name...

"Oh, by the way, it's Ginjō Kūgo, right?"

The more Yilong talked, the more excited Fuzhu became, and the more violently he coughed. However, Yilong blocked out the coughing and didn't hear anything, until...

"Ugh...Puff! Huh..."
