Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

He opened the drawer and was about to put the letter in, but he smelled the scent of white plum blossoms coming from the letter paper.

There is always a faint scent of white plum blossoms on Amamiya Mahiru's body.

Even after ten years, the aura is still that of an old friend.

This letter must have been carried with him, as the paper was soaked with a faint fragrance.

This smell would definitely reveal its origin. After all, the fragrance of white plum blossoms was a very unfamiliar smell in this room, and Su Ruoli would definitely notice it as long as she got closer.

Bai Yu was reluctant to destroy the letter, so he put it in his backpack. Then he picked up the air freshener and thoroughly disinfected the tables and chairs in the room. He also brushed his hands with alcohol solvent.

Make sure there is no lingering smell before you feel relieved.

While Fly was rubbing his hands, Bai Yu sighed guiltily: "Why am I so skilled?"

I lay back on the bed and found a comfortable position.

Bai Yu looked at the ceiling. Perhaps because of the contact with the letter, he suddenly began to miss the refreshing fragrance of white plum blossoms.

The most likable thing about Amamiya Mahiru, besides her personality, is the fragrance on her body.

She said that this was not a natural constitution, but the result of long-term aromatherapy during her stay at Nan's house.

Long time no see, I miss you very much.

Bai Yu closed his eyes, opened the 'Chronicle of Heroes', and prepared to log into the realm or dungeon to take a look at the two girls.

As his eyes touched, a burst of red text lit up.

[Received 'A Love Letter from Fuso']

【Confirm the fate of Wuming Gui to arrive at the node】

【Do you want to weave your destiny?】

[This destiny weaving is quite difficult, please be well prepared]

The prompt lights up.

Bai Yu held the back of his head with his hands, thinking that this reminder came at the right time, perhaps because Amemiya Mahiru issued the task himself?

In any case, he had no reason to refuse.

More difficult?

It's just a good opportunity to test how well his current realm and strength match.

【confirmed】

【Begin to weave your destiny】

……

Baifeng family residence.

"Nan Shihui is dead."

"The Nan family is not doing well lately."

Shiromine Naomi was arranging flowers and quietly listening to the report from her subordinates.

After guessing the identity of Amamiya Mahiru, she secretly collected various information about the Minami family.

It wasn't a threat or anything, but based on the relationship where both parties would prosper and suffer together, she thought it necessary to let Amamiya Mahiru know the current situation of her relatives.

The news today is not unexpected. After Amemiya Mahiru left, the situation of the Minami family has almost deteriorated... Originally, there was an ambitious old jackal, Minami Shihui, who could more or less be a paperhanger to maintain a bright appearance.

If Amemiya Mahiru had not resisted and had been married off and successfully allied with the Kazama family, the Minami family would have had at least another twenty years of prosperity.

Now the sun has set, the industry is in decline, and other Chinese groups in Osaka have joined forces to squeeze them out. It seems that they have only one breath left.

Osaka and Kyoto are where the Fuso imperial family is located. The power structure is complex and there are a large number of nobles. It is a place of fame and fortune where people are eaten without leaving any bones.

It is impossible for a gangster organization like the Baifeng Group, which is struggling at the bottom, to settle down in that area. It is already the limit for them to be able to find out some information.

"Miss, do you need to notify that person..." the servant asked.

"My sister has already left. I tried to persuade her, but unfortunately she didn't listen."

Shiromine Naomi inserted a bunch of hydrangeas on the side, then picked up a pair of scissors and cut them into two pieces. The hydrangeas fell on the table and the petals scattered.

"A flower without roots is doomed to wither. The Nan family, who have cut off their own path to survival, do not deserve any sympathy."

"Is it too risky to let Master Wuming go alone?"

"It's useless for us to go. We'll just make things worse. Besides..." Shiromine Naomi turned her head to look at a painting hanging on the wall. It was a mysterious figure composed only of hazy blocks of color and outlines. "Sister said she has someone to protect her. Why does she need us to add to her luster? Go down."

"Yes."

Just as the servant was about to leave, footsteps were heard again in the courtyard.

A young man rushed in, slid to his knees on the floor, slid forward five meters, and lowered his head: "Miss! I have something important to report. We have found the trace of Onikiri!"

Shiromine Naomi was distracted and the scissors cut her fingertip, immediately bleeding. Her face changed slightly: "Why now?!"

……

Nan family funeral hall.

It was late at night and the last wave of people who came to offer condolences and pay their respects had already left.

Minami Shiori, whose neck was stiff, straightened her back. She was wearing the unfamiliar black mourning clothes and had an unfamiliar expression.

His eyes fell on the wreaths placed all around, and a hint of fatigue appeared in his eyes.

The maid, A Zi, handed over a hot towel: "Miss, please wipe your face. You still have to keep vigil tonight."

"I know." After the hot compress, Minami Shiori regained some energy, but she still felt something was not real.

My father and grandfather were just out for a trip, but an accident happened for no apparent reason.

There were obvious signs of human error. On the surface, it was said to be an explosion in a workshop, with half of the street on fire, but in fact it was probably caused by a high explosive.

Both the father and son of the Nan family died instantly. In the blink of an eye, the Nan family, which already had a small population, was left with only Nan Shizhi.

She was forced to support the current Nan family before she even reached adulthood. Looking around, the expressions of the servants and guards were filled with lingering confusion and silence.

Perhaps many people are already considering what to do next.

The family rules of Fuso are very strict and do not allow easy betrayal of the family, but now that Minami Shiori is dead, it is difficult for Minami Shiori to control her subordinates with her personality, skills and experience.

There are so many things she doesn't understand.

There are many things in the world that cannot be solved with a knife.

Killing is easy, but maintaining a business is difficult. Moreover, this is Osaka, and one has to face the vigilance of many jackals, tigers and leopards. Just a knife is far from enough. Countless Chinese people came to express their condolences with the idea of taking the beauty's family property into their pockets, and their eager eyes when they came to pay homage were completely undisguised.

Minami Shiori didn't even get angry because she was a little numb.

She didn't feel sad, and she didn't even have time to feel sad.

She closed her eyes and wanted to rest for a while, but the footsteps of the guards soon disturbed her rest.

"Miss, there's someone outside who wants to see you."

"The time for worship has passed, now it's time for the wake." Minami Shiori said lightly.

"But the other party has a letter of introduction from the head of the family." The guard took a look at the mourning hall and took out a letter.

Minami Shizhi frowned, took the letter, read it, confirmed the seal and said, "Let him in."

Soon, a middle-aged man with his hands tucked into his sleeves walked in. He looked like a businessman. He introduced himself as soon as he entered the door: "My last name is Shibata, Miss Minami. It's our first meeting. Thank you for your guidance."

"This isn't a social setting." Minami Shiori put down the letter in her hand. "If you're here to pay your respects, you can start now."

Shibata shook his head and said, "There's no rush for the worship. Miss Nan, don't you want to know who killed the head of the family?"

Minami Shiori asked: "Do you know?"

"The letter in my hand is the one he left behind. He told me that if he died, I must come and inform the young lady of something."

"Speak." Minami Shizhi said impatiently, "Don't beat around the bush."

Shibata replied, "The master of the family told the young lady to be careful of a group of ronin called 'Kyuuryu'. They are all executioners, and they are said to be quick-witted and willing to pay for their services. In all likelihood, the master of the family died at the hands of this ronin."

Minami Shiori demanded, "Do you know where they are?"

Shibata hesitated for a second before saying, "I don't know."

"If you know, just tell me." Minami Shizhi leaned forward: "I can give you a lot of money."

"This one……"

"Or do you want to see my sword?" She held down the precious sword she always carried with her, Train Cutting Guangguang.

"One of their strongholds is in Niouji, fifteen miles away!" Shibata immediately shouted back. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to leave. "No matter what, I hope you won't do anything rash! If you die, there will be no hope for the Nan family to rebuild."

"Send off guests!" Nan Shizhi said coldly.

After this guest left, she knelt alone in the mourning hall, lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Until footsteps suddenly appeared behind him.

Minami Shiori immediately drew her sword while sitting upright, and the sword light slashed towards the strange aura behind her with a rainbow-like flash.

When——!

All that could be heard was the clashing of swords and the bursting of fire, as well as the fluttering of clothes and the faint scent of white plum blossoms.

The bamboo hat on the visitor's head split in two, revealing his hidden face.

Minami Shizhi was stunned for a long time, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar beautiful woman, and called out: "...Sister."

Amamiya Mahiru reached out and gently stroked the girl's cheek: "Long time no see, you've lost weight, Shiori."

The knife fell to the ground, and Nan Shizhi threw herself at her sister's chest, hugged her waist, buried her head in her chest, and cried loudly.

Mahiru gently patted her back and shoulders, looking past the lights and candlelight at the portrait of the deceased in the mourning hall, his eyes neither happy nor sad.

Chapter 417 Who do you think I am?

"Really? It's been so long..."

Amemiya Mahiru listened to Minami Shiori telling what had happened during this period.

Although the two sisters have been separated for a long time, it has not affected their feelings for each other.

Mahiru still loves and cares for her sister, and Shiori still respects and loves her elder sister.

The two of them sat in the mourning hall and talked intimately, as if they had found some of their childhood happiness again, and they could hide in each other's quilts and talk for a long time.

Much of Amamiya Mahiru's understanding of the outside world comes from her sister. She would tell her about the scenery that she could not see, read stories to her, and buy snacks for her.

The solemn atmosphere in the mourning hall was diluted a lot.

Amemiya Mahiru also paid tribute to his father, but did not even look at Minami Shiteru's side.

She would never forgive this ambitious patriarch in her life. Even after his death, she would not bow her head, nor would she regret cutting off his limbs.

"Where has my sister been during this time? What has happened to her?"

As soon as Minami Shizhi started fighting, she realized that the other party's swordsmanship level was not inferior to hers, and even higher than hers.

Being a ronin in Fuso also requires improving your swordsmanship and kendo, which means fighting to the death.

Inevitably, his body would be covered in the smell of blood, and he would become dusty and exhausted, like a desperado.

But the feeling Amemiya Mahiru gives people is still elegant, very similar to the lady who stayed at home and lived a life of luxury, but there is a huge difference between them, that is, self-respect and self-confidence.

He was as confident as if he had returned home in glory after making a great career.

"Me? Actually, there's nothing much to say. I was just hiding." There were many things about Amamiya Mahiru that could not be said. She just mentioned that she joined a gang organization and became a priest there, so she didn't become homeless and become a ronin who sells his life for his life.

Minami Shiori felt a little relieved.

The two chatted about many personal matters, their eyes blurred with tears.

Then Minami Shiori told the news she had just received.

"I've heard of the Nine-Headed Dragon Ronin Organization... It seems to have been founded by a ronin swordsman. It has a history of more than 30 years. They are all extremely vicious criminals, and they specialize in assassinations and ambushes." Amamiya Mahiru had heard of it and even had actual clashes with it. He had killed several ronin who had the Nine-Headed Dragon emblem on their bodies.

"Swordsman?"

"Yes, he is an exiled warrior and a fugitive." Amamiya Mahiru said in a heavy tone, "They targeted the Nan family, probably for assassination."

Minami Shizhi said bitterly: "Sister, don't you want to avenge your father?"
