Collapse, surrender to me!

"Is there something on my face? Or is there some rice stuck on it?"

As she spoke, she stuck out her tongue and licked the corner of her mouth.

"Nothing. I promised you."

Bai Ya suddenly said.

"I'll talk to Gresh."

"I love you the most, brother-in-law!"

Rukia exclaimed as she hugged Kuchiki tightly.

boom!

Just then, the door opened.

Feizhen pushed the door open and walked in.

Looking at Rukia, whose face was flushed and who was hugging Kuchiki's arm and leaning into him, and Byakuya, who was smiling.

I couldn't help but say quietly.

"Is my sister soft?"

"Soft."

Byakuya responded instinctively.

After all, he never lied to Feizhen and had no defenses against him.

But after saying it, I knew I was in trouble.

Turn around and run.

Let the lady calm down first, then he will come back.

"Rukia, explain yourself!"

Bai Zai moved very quickly.

Fei Zhen is not the god of death, so naturally he didn't chase after him.

She looked at her sister.

Rukia said sweetly.

"My sister-in-law is so nice. I love my brother-in-law the most."

"Of course Byakuya is nice, otherwise I wouldn't marry him."

Feizhen smiled. Of course she wouldn’t really think about it.

She knew both Byakuya and her sister very well.

She was just teasing Byakuya.

"But Rukia will get married in the future. It doesn't matter if you are still young now, but you won't be able to act like a spoiled child like this when you grow up."

……

If the Shiba family of Soul Society is mentioned in Seireitei, the older Shinigami will uncontrollably let out a long sigh.

When Shiba Kaiyan was still young and his brothers and sisters were not yet born, the Shiba family was one of the five great nobles of Seireitei.

However, it declined at a very fast speed later on, and no outsiders knew what happened in between. In just a few years, the Shiba family was eliminated from the list of great nobles, and was even driven out of Seireitei and exiled to Rukongai.

At that time, Haiyan was holding his sister, following his parents on a bumpy journey. Before stepping out of the Baidao Gate, Haiyan turned back hatefully and looked behind him. One day, he would return to Jinglingting openly. Although his parents and his housekeeper kept their mouths shut, one day, he would personally find out the inside story of the exile of the Shiba family.

And then he wants revenge.

"I'm not trying to prove how great I am. I want to tell people that I must personally take back what my Shiba family has lost."

Later, he really did it. Shiba Kaien has always been excellent, an excellent student, an excellent senior, an excellent team member, and an excellent vice-captain. He returned to the Seireitei, entered the 13th Division, and became the vice-captain of Ukitake.

I also knew everything that had happened.

But he was confused.

The events of the past were more complicated and entangled than he had imagined. The more Haiyan investigated, the more confused he became about what was right and what was wrong, and he became more and more lost and hesitant.

Just when he was hesitating between revenge and not revenge, Byakuya Kuchiki came to him.

Byakuya Kuchiki can barely be considered as Shiba Kaien's childhood sweetheart. When the Shiba family was still a noble family, they often studied and played together.

However, the Shiba family soon fell into decline, and he naturally lost contact with Byakuya Kuchiki.

Later, Haiyan entered the 13th Division and reunited with Baiya again.

But by then, everything was different.

Shiba Kaien already knew that the Kuchiki family had a big hand in the exile of the Shiba family, although that had nothing to do with Byakuya, as Byakuya was just a child of the same age as him at that time.

Even so, when Haiyan saw Baiya, he still felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. Although it was not a sense of intimacy or anything, it was not just hatred.

In short, it's complicated.

Just like the son of his enemy is a good man, but the ancestors of his enemy are still his enemies.

"Captain Kuchiki is looking for me. What's the matter?"

So when facing Kuchiki Byakuya, Shiba Kaien rarely put on a stern face and spoke in a lukewarm tone.

It's totally different from what it used to be.

"There is one thing I hope Vice Captain Shiba can be flexible about."

Kuchiki Byakuya said this, and his attitude was very sincere.

Shiba Kaien looked straight at Kuchiki's face, with the same feeling as when they were children.

It's like nothing has changed in all these years.

On the contrary, things and people have changed a lot.

He remembered that Byakuya was a very cheerful guy when he was a child. Although he couldn't be said to be lively or talkative, he was definitely much more cheerful than now. At least at that time, Byakuya Kuchiki would laugh often.

She's much more mature now, but the feeling she gives him hasn't changed much.

It was after Hisahi's death that Byakuya Kuchiki became as cold and indifferent as he was later.

Just like Grace became silent after losing her parents.

But now that he knows that even if Feizhen dies, he can be reincarnated, Byakuya will not become like that.

"Captain Xiumu, please speak," Haiyan said.

Kuchiki Byakuya was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about how to start speaking, and Haiyan did not urge him, but just waited quietly for him to speak.

"I wonder what Vice Captain Shiba thinks of my sister, Rukia Kuchiki?" Byakuya asked.

Rukia Kuchiki, the face of the black-haired girl who looked very reserved suddenly appeared in Haiyan's eyes.

"She should still be in school."

Haiyan thought for a while and said.

"He is a very serious child. He will become an excellent god of death in the future."

“Not in the future, but now.”

Byakuya said.

"My sister is ready to graduate from the Shinō Spiritual Academy."

"what?"

Zhiba Haiyan was stunned for a while.

Good guy.

"Then congratulations to Captain Kuchiki, you have a new talented sister."

"Ah."

Kuchiki couldn't help but smile knowingly when he said this.

"I hope she can join the Thirteenth Division."

"why?"

Zhiba Kaiyan didn't quite understand.

He could see that Byakuya also liked Rukia, so wouldn't it be good for her to stay in his squad after graduation? He could still take care of her.

"I just don't want her to get too much care."

At this time, Kuchiki Byakuya was acting out of character, with an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Haiyan saw it all, and although she remained calm on the surface, she felt a little surprised in her heart.

"If you have something to say, Captain Kuchiki, please just tell me. Don't mind."

After hearing what he said, Byakuya Kuchiki nodded subconsciously and said, "Regarding my sister Rukia, if possible, I hope she can always be a member of the 13th Division."

Haiyan was stunned for a moment and asked: "Captain Kuchiki, what do you mean by this? Rukia is such a genius, will we, the Thirteenth Division, drive her away?"

"no."

Kuchiki Byakuya explained.

"Although what I said may be considered boasting, I am quite clear about my sister's ability. It won't be long before she can reach the level of a chief official."

Bai Ya paused, and Hai Yan waited silently for him to continue.

"But I hope that my sister Rukia will not be promoted. If possible, it would be best if she remains an ordinary member of the team."

When Shiba Kaiyan heard his words, he was stunned for a moment. He looked at Byakuya who was sitting opposite him, and the latter had a very serious expression.

He was not joking, Haiyan thought, but this request was indeed very strange. How could a brother want his sister to always be an ordinary team member?

Haiyan thought for a moment and said, "This is the first time I've heard of this. I wonder if Captain Xiumu can tell me the reason so I can make a decision."

According to common sense, Baiya should indeed tell Haiyan the reason why he made such a request, but Baiya didn't know how to say it appropriately.

In fact, there was no special or unspeakable reason. Byakuya Kuchiki just thought that compared to the chief officer, ordinary team members would not often fight on the front line and would be further away from danger.

That's just the reason.

However, for a moment, Byakuya didn't know how to start.

He just wanted Rukia to live in peace.

No matter how talented Rukia is.

If it wasn't for Grayshuin, Feizhen would not be able to accept it.

Maybe he should have gone directly to Captain Ukitake at the beginning, so that he could tell it naturally no matter what the reason was.

However, Byakuya Kuchiki also knew that the person in charge of personnel for the 13th Division was the vice-captain Shiba Kaiyan. Asking for such a request was already against the rules, and if Byakuya Kuchiki skipped Kaiyan and went directly to find Ukitake, he would be something he could not do.

Although Byakuya Kuchiki has been constantly challenging the family rules of the Kuchiki family and the unspoken rules of the great nobles since he married Hime, it must be said that as a person who has received aristocratic education since childhood, in fact, in Byakuya Kuchiki's heart, he subconsciously insists that those rules must be protected and cannot be broken at will.

Later, the things he did that broke the rules, in the words of Kyoraku Shunsui, were because Kuchiki was still young.

If you really wait until you reach the age of the old man in the mountain, you won’t know how to break it even if you want to.

For Byakuya Kuchiki, the decades he spent with Kaiyan seemed extremely precious and beautiful.

Although in the end it was his parents and Yoruichi's parents who destroyed the Shiba family and forced Haiyan away.

I remember when the Shiba family was first exiled, he often asked his parents why Haiyan was gone and where she had gone. At that time, his parents answered him:

"Shiba Kaien is dead. From now on, you will go to Shifengyuan's house and study with his Miss Yoruichi."

Yes, that's what his parents told him.

At that time, when he heard the news that Haiyan had died, he was so shocked that he couldn't help but shed tears.

The tragic experience of spending the rest of his childhood at the hands of Yoruichi had made Byakuya Kuchiki unable to even cry.

He always thought that Haiyan was really dead until his parents died. He became the captain of the 6th Division. During a diplomatic mission, he saw Shiba Haiyan, who was already the vice-captain of the 13th Division.

Bai Ya felt that he should be happy when he knew that Hai Yan was not dead, but he was unable to show such happiness.

Because at that time he already knew that the decline of the Shiba family was entirely caused by his parents.

From then on, Kuchiki Byakuya began to avoid Shiba Kaiyan intentionally or unintentionally. He himself didn't know why, but he did it instinctively. Fortunately, although Kaiyan often deliberately inquired about the news of the Kuchiki family, most of the time, she also avoided Kuchiki Byakuya like him.
