Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

Page 291

It seems that ordinary moves are no longer effective.

She gritted her teeth secretly. This surprise test caught her off guard, and it was really embarrassing that she couldn't pass it for a long time.

But she didn't want to embarrass her master.

I can only take a gamble.

Bai Yu focused his gaze.

He noticed that Shiromine Ai's movements had changed, and this stance was a completely new one that he had never seen in any of Amamiya Mahiru's kendo moves before.

The change in posture means a change in tactics and moves, which means that this should be a new move he has never seen before.

——Secret!

Baifeng Ai shouted in her heart and created a strong wind with her toes.

If the Ichinoda is a concentrated burst of power compressed to a point, then this sword is a display of skills to the extreme splendor.

Wuminggui responded with a sword.

The two sides exchanged moves, each winning and losing.

The weapon in Baifeng Ai's hand kept vibrating, but she didn't let it go.

She took a deep breath and was about to fight again.

"Let's stop here." Bai Yu raised his hand, and Wuming Gui stopped moving. He asked the girl, "What was that move just now?"

Ai whispered back, "The secret of Shinto's Illusionary Yin Style... Evil is slain."

Bai Yu stared at the little girl in front of him and smiled with satisfaction: "You have mastered the secret technique at such a young age. Mahiru must be very proud of you."

"I'm ashamed. I'm far inferior to Master."

It took her ten years of sword practice to reach the second level, while her master became a swordsman only thirteen years after leaving the Nan family. Compared with her master, she can only feel inferior.

Bai Yu said, "There's no need to belittle yourself. I see the potential of the Shinto Illusionary Yin Style in you."

Shiromine Ai...

It would be a shame not to make good use of such a talented apprentice.

Her potential is far from being fully developed!

This is an indispensable and important part of the perpetual motion machine and needs to be polished well.

Chapter 351 Don’t come close to me, you will become unhappy

"That's it for today."

Bai Yu finished tonight's sparring.

Baifeng Ai panted and wiped the sweat from her forehead, but still insisted on responding politely: "Thank you very much for your advice."

"have a good rest."

"From now on, every Thursday night at 8 o'clock, I'll wait for you at this place." Bai Yu set the time and said casually, "It's up to you whether you come or not."

...But if you don't come, you may not be able to see me again.

Even without saying this subtext, he knew that Baifeng Ai definitely didn't have the courage to disobey him.

She wouldn't even bring up any unexpected situations like 'taking a leave' or 'just in case' to buy herself some room for negotiation.

This is the education I received since childhood.

Bai Feng, who gave her a bite to eat, was her benefactor, so she repaid him with her life; the master who taught her was also her benefactor, otherwise she would listen to whatever he said.

You must do what your teacher asks you to do, even if you get struck by lightning. If you can't do it, then there is something wrong with you.

"Yi remembers this." She bowed her head earnestly as a disciple.

If the conversation during the day was too hasty, it was not enough for her to understand what kind of person her master was.

This exchange was enough for her to form a general outline in her mind. The other party was not a serious, old-fashioned or unapproachable person. It could even be said that he had a good temper and was very talkative.

It's just that he is too mysterious, and behind every move he makes seems to be a hidden meaning that he cannot understand or fathom.

She couldn't even tell what kind of power the other party was using... He could just wave people around with a simple raise of his hand.

This is not the Shikigami commanded by the Onmyoji. Even if the latter is injured, it will not affect him at all.

Mystery means the strongest power in the world.

Bai Feng Ai heard from her master that her mystery also came from the gift of her great-grandmaster. Although she was not greedy enough to ask for a share of the mystery, she believed that the great-grandmaster who could do such a thing must not be a god-like figure whose intentions she could guess.

Bai Yu's meeting today had indeed created enough prestige and mysteriousness in Bai Feng Ya Yi's mind.

This image has many benefits.

For example, it can be used as underwear.

For example, many things do not need to be explained, and the other party will fill in the blanks on their own, which is Dihua.

Anyway, no matter how hard the little girl tried to think, she couldn't figure out that the reason why the master didn't go to see her master was actually because he was extremely panicked and afraid of being locked up in the basement and being raped.

As long as Bai Yu doesn't explain, his image will not collapse.

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and intended to let Baifeng Ai go back. Before leaving, he added: "You can come alone. There's no need to bring someone who is not very smart with you."

This "not very smart" person naturally refers to Shiromine Kotaro.

But then an unexpected situation occurred.

"...Unintelligent, are you saying I'm being observed even though I've been discovered?"

A graceful figure walked out of the woods and appeared beside the Yongrong Pool in a dignified manner. Her face was reflected in the pool water under the moonlight, and her expression was cold, with a hint of surprise and a little joy.

Mu Yaoxi stared at the Destiny Editor.

Baifeng Ai, who was about to leave, stopped and looked at Mu Yaoxi warily.

This was her first meeting with the daughter of the Mu family.

Bai Yu was choked.

Why is Mu Yaoxi here?

How come my reminder made you angry?

Although he maintained a poker face on the surface, he was already filled with a thousand questions in his heart.

Bai Feng Ai couldn't possibly be a snitch, she didn't even know Mu Yaoxi, so... it was just a coincidence?

Mu Yaoxi is still the same as always... not very smart.

There was a hint of subtlety in Bai Yu's eyes.

"Long time no see, Fate Editor." Mu Yaoxi's eyes were filled with both vigilance and kindness: "The last time we met was over a month ago, right?"

"Long time no see, Miss Mu." Bai Yu also greeted her and raised his hand to signal Bai Feng Yayi not to rush to open up, as they were all acquaintances: "I didn't expect to see you here."

"Didn't you think of it?" Mu Yaoxi asked in obvious disbelief, "Is there anything the Fate Editor couldn't imagine? Don't you read the fate of all beings like observing the fingerprints on your palm?"

Bai Yu thought to himself, why don’t I remember pretending to use this sentence before?

Baifeng Ai was very well-behaved and kept silent, but she was confused in her heart. Could it be that these two people knew each other?

Bai Yu spread his hands in amusement: "If Miss Mu is in a good mood and wants to go out and bask in the moonlight, should I know in advance and then ambush her?"

He shook his head and laughed: "It's just a coincidence."

Mu Yaoxi chuckled and remained noncommittal: "I came here to look for this foreign student. What a coincidence! I happened to run into you teaching her swordsmanship. Is there really such a coincidence in the world?"

Bai Yu asked in return: "What if it's not the same?"

"I'm not surprised by your presence anywhere, but your motives remain unclear. However, there's one thing I'm pretty sure of." Mu Yaoxi was certain: "She had the ability to take the katana, and your help and intervention were essential."

"So this incident aroused your curiosity." Bai Yu understood and thought to himself - are you so short of manpower that you even start to target international students?

"The sword Mist Cutting has killed many people and is quite famous in the weapon refining club." Mu Yaoxi said bluntly: "This matter has spread on the Penglai Forum, and Baifeng Ai has also become a little famous because of it."

"Do swordsmen look down on each other?" Bai Yu smiled indifferently. "Miss Mu, do you have good intentions, or do you have ulterior motives?"

Mu Yaoxi suddenly fell silent. She paused for a moment before speaking: "I owe you an apology for what happened last time."

"Oh?" Bai Yu actually had some vague memories of the last event.

"I, Mu Yaoxi, am not a shameless person. I should be grateful for the kindness I receive."

"I will repay a favor, and I will repay what I owe you—but similarly, your origins are mysterious, so I will also be wary of you!"

Mu Yaoxi finally understood after he said this.

Bai Yu knew that Mu Yaoxi was too immature in many aspects, so he teased her, "Beware? Then you should report this matter. It might be more interesting if I could also be named one of the Ten Evils."

Mu Yaoxi stamped her feet: "Don't push your luck! I'm just..."

She clenched her fists and said, "I just prefer to believe that although your origins are mysterious, you are ultimately a harmless good person."

Bai Yu shook her head in denial: "There's no such thing as good or evil. I'm just driven by profit. I have my own purpose, and I don't need to tell you about it... Miss Mu, it's getting late. Please go back."

The order to expel him left Mu Yaoxi speechless.

She held back her emotions and for a moment she couldn't say many words.

She took a few steps closer, as if she wanted to see through the young man's face and see the heart beneath his mask, but in the end all she saw was a calm gaze and a faint gray mist that followed him like a shadow.

It isolates perception and also brings an infinite sense of weirdness.

"Who are you and what do you want to do?"

Mu Yaoxi stood beside him and asked with her head lowered.

"What do I want to do?"

Bai Yu repeated it, with a hint of self-talk and self-reflection.

This wasn't a question he had never considered, but rather one he had thought about many times and finally let go of.

What I wanted to do at first was just to protect myself.

And now I want to do a little more than just protect myself.

"I've read the history books."

"History books are filled with all kinds of characters. I am moved by their stories, sigh for their missions, and feel sad for their final outcomes."

"Some are heroic, some are depressing, some are legendary, and some are tragic."

"Occasionally, I think - what would happen if he made another choice at this time?"
