Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

Amemiya Mahiru didn't care at all. She couldn't see anyway, and she didn't know what her body looked like.

Under A Zi's care, he immediately changed into a loose set of clothes that was easy to move in, which was somewhat like a men's style.

During the process, Bai Yu inevitably felt some skin friction and touch, a first-person fully automatic experience.

After living two lifetimes, this is the first time I experience how girls dress.

…is great.

"Azi, you have to be well." Amamiya Mahiru reached out and hugged the maid: "I will come back to see you."

"Yeah, I'm fine." Ah Zi smiled and touched the girl she had watched grow up. She retracted her hand and urged her in a low voice, "Hurry up, hurry up, and don't look back."

There were some tears in Amamiya Mahiru's closed eyes. She opened her umbrella, said goodbye to A Zi, and left the Nan family through the side door.

"Where to go next?"

"Edo." Amamiya Mahiru replied, "To Edo."

Bai Yu said, "Have you calculated the route?"

"Well, I asked Azuki to look it over. She asked a lot of people and calculated a reasonable route." Amamiya Mahiru had a detailed written plan: "I plan to disguise myself as a man, pretend to be a shamisen player, and go through the village to Edo."

"It's a good idea, but can you act it out?" Bai Yu thought that Amemiya Mahiru had too much of the temperament of a lady from a noble family.

"I can only try my best." Amamiya Mahiru had no other choice. After all, it wasn't the kind of setting where a childhood playmate from the countryside would grow up to be a beautiful girl. She could only smile helplessly and say, "Maybe putting some mud on your face would help."

Not long after she walked out of the alley, she stopped.

There was a black car parked on the side of the road in front, and a middle-aged man was standing on the side of the road with a black umbrella in his hand.

The vehicle honked its horn to signal.

"Ms. Amamiya, please stay." The man took the initiative to greet her: "I forgot to say hello just now. I am..."

"Kazama River, a congressman wants to talk to me about something?" The girl lowered her cheeks, and only half of her face was visible under the umbrella.

"Yes."

"If you want me to marry him, you've got the wrong person. The Nan family already has a second daughter who is a swordsman." Amamiya Mahiru replied calmly, "Although the Nan family may not be willing to let me marry into their family, I think it's possible for me to marry into their family."

Feng Jianhe laughed heartily: "You're joking. Everyone knows that the second young lady of the Nan family hasn't even entered the transcendent realm yet... And the matter of the demon sword that was widely publicized a few days ago, I'm afraid it was actually you who slashed the demon sword, right?"

"..."

"You don't have to answer. Some things can just be tacitly understood." Feng Jianhe waved his hand. He lit a cigarette, took a drag, and slowly exhaled: "As for me, I'm a politician. I do things based on profit, but when I talk business, I like to be open and honest. The hustle and bustle is all about profit. Sometimes it's better to be open and honest. I don't like to play tricks on smart people, and I don't bother to do so."

He looked at Amamiya Mahiru and said bluntly: "Well, let me be frank - Miss Amamiya, do you want to cooperate with me?"

"Cooperation?" Amamiya Mahiru asked, "Help you take down the Nan family?"

"If that's what you're after, I can help you become the head of the Nan family and make that old dog Nan Shihui kneel down before you!" Feng Jianhe said loudly, "I can definitely do it. He's the one who should get out, not you."

"...I don't have such plans." The girl denied calmly.

"Well, you and I both know that since you killed Nan Shihui, the Nan family will have no place for you in the future and will undoubtedly seek revenge on you. You'll be forced to leave home, and to put it bluntly, you'll be a homeless dog, with nowhere to rest." Feng Jianhe narrowed his eyes. "I know Nan Shihui. He'll undoubtedly brag about your despicable attack on him, using various channels to portray you as a traitorous and vicious woman. He'll then disown you, declaring you no longer have any connection to the Nan family, and then secretly put a bounty on your head."

Exhaling a puff of white mist, Feng Jianhe said, "The shogunate won't care about this matter, the Onmyoji Bureau won't care, and Shintoism won't care... You have no place to complain, and you can't defend yourself."

"But it's not just him who saw this tonight, it's us as well."

At this point, Feng Jianhe smiled cheerfully and said, "With my influence, as long as I'm on your side, Nan Shihui will never dare to do this. Otherwise, if he spreads it widely, I will immediately clarify the facts, and he will be slapping himself in the face! Your reputation will not be damaged, and you can still walk in the sunshine with dignity!"

Amamiya Mahiru understood that the other party did have this ability, so she asked, "So, what do you want?"

Feng Jianhe's true intentions were exposed: "I want you."

Amemiya Mahiru frowned.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not interested in your body. I'm interested in your talent, your ability, and your potential!" Feng Jianhe said enthusiastically, "I truly believe you might become a Sword Saint within fifty years!"

The Sword Master is the pillar that a wealthy family must have.

A Wu family without a sword master cannot be considered a wealthy family.

The Sword Saint of Fuso corresponds to the fifth-level extraordinary person, that is, the Martial Saint of Daxia and the King-level Knight of the West.

The Kazama family has only one sword master, and he is already very old. This sword master plays a vital role in the family inheritance.

If he could personally cultivate a sword master, Feng Jianhe would surely rise to great heights in the future, and of course he would be extremely enthusiastic.

"As long as you join the Fengjian family and become my subordinate... I don't even need you to marry my useless son." Fengjianhe patted his chest and made a promise: "I can adopt you as my daughter and provide you with countless resources to help you become a sword master! Of course, in return, I need you to change your surname to Fengjian and stand on the same warship with me!"

"How about it!"

"This is the highest price I can offer!"

"As long as you work for me, I can give you the most generous treatment!"

These conditions are indeed good.

After Bai Yu analyzed it carefully, he found that if he agreed to Fengjianhe, then Amemiya Mahiru would not even have to suffer any hardship or go far to Edo.

Just as he was thinking about the interests involved, he heard Amamiya Mahiru's direct answer.

"Feel sorry."

"I reject!"

Chapter 113 I Will Never Serve Two Masters in This Life

Amamiya Mahiru's rejection was incredibly quick and decisive.

It was so fast that even Bai Yu didn't react.

"Your refusal is too blunt, isn't it?"

"Your last name is Amamiya, not Kishibe."

"Why think about it carefully?"

Bai Yu immediately responded with a three-hit combo of complaints, and then added an Etra combo: "I think the conditions are very generous."

The girl remained silent to Bai Yu.

Just speaking to Feng Jianhe who was smoking silently.

"I will not join the Kazama family."

"You don't need to insist. If Nan Shihui wants to stigmatize me, let him do it."

"If this little trick works, then what's the point of having swords? I'm also afraid that the journey will be boring, and having a killer to relieve my boredom is perfect."

After she finished speaking, she dragged her suitcase forward, not intending to stay any longer.

Just as the two of them were parallel to each other, Feng Jianhe spoke: "Are you really not going to reconsider? The conditions I offer are undoubtedly the most generous... If you don't want to join the Fengjian family, that's fine. You don't have to change your surname. Just swear allegiance to me, and I'll..."

"I don't have any objections to the Kazama family," Amemiya Mahiru said slowly, her voice resonating with the sound of falling water. "I simply don't want to be caged anymore... To put it another way, if I agree, then I'll truly have no hope of ever reaching the realm of Sword Saint. Has anyone, since ancient times, achieved this level of Sword Saint through closed-door cultivation?"

Feng Jianhe took a deep breath, exhaled his cigarette, and flicked the butt away. "That's true, but cooperating with me is beneficial and harmless. If you refuse, you'll be asking for trouble. No one will be able to cover your future. Have you considered it?"

Amemiya Mahiru didn't answer, but just dragged the suitcase away, and her back disappeared into the night.

Wait until she is far away.

The driver said in a bad tone: "You are so ungrateful. Do you need..."

"Don't waste your time." Feng Jianhe narrowed his eyes. "I don't want to offend her yet. If it doesn't work this time, it might work next time. If I suffer a little, maybe there will be another chance in the future..."

"I don't think there's much chance." Tetsuya Kazama said while sitting in the car.

Feng Jianhe turned his head: "Oh?"

"Father may not have noticed, but I always feel that the reason she dared to refuse wasn't simply because she didn't want to be bound by constraints, but also because..." Feng Jianzhe also recalled his experience studying abroad at the Imperial Academy, and the strong man who broke into the ancient Roman Colosseum with an iron rod. He slowly read out four words: "Confident and fearless."

"Confident and fearless... Are you trying to say that she has someone backing her?" Feng Jianhe had never considered this possibility, but now thinking about it, he felt that her tone was meaningful.

"Yeah, I have that feeling." Kazama Tetsuya looked in the direction of the figure that had long since disappeared. "She didn't answer just now, maybe she simply didn't bother to answer."

"If that's really the case," Feng Jianhe said solemnly, "Who is the person who could train a blind woman to this level?"

Kazama Tetsuya reminded him: "Father, even if we can't make friends, we must not offend him."

Feng Jianhe nodded and said, "Yes, you have become somewhat cautious as a politician. However, in the eyes of others, you should try your best to be a useless person. Do you understand?"

Kazama Tetsuya lowered his head: "Yes."

Listening to the deafening thunder in the heavy rain, Tetsuya Kazama suddenly remembered a sentence.

...Whoever will eventually shake the world with his voice must remain silent for a long time; whoever will eventually ignite lightning must wander like a cloud for a long time.

One day, a hidden dragon will rise from the abyss, breaking the sky with unstoppable force.

……

In the deep alley.

Bai Yu continued to ask, "Why don't you agree to their request? I don't think they would refuse you even if you asked for freedom."

"Is freedom allowed by others still considered freedom?" Amamiya Mahiru asked softly.

"Life is precious, but freedom is more precious?" Bai Yu said again.

"My freedom is not that valuable. It is not expensive compared to life." Mahiru Amamiya retorted again.

Bai Yu persisted and asked, "So, why did you reject him so bluntly? Did you feel that he was untrustworthy?"

It's not that he can't understand Amamiya Mahiru's vigilance.

But he was still worried that this silly young girl who was just starting out wouldn't be able to take care of herself and would suffer a lot in the future.

And he thought Feng Jianhe was serious, or rather... this was the way a normal person should think, right?

When you see someone with potential and talent, of course you have to invest heavily in them!

As for what would happen if she fell into Feng Jianhe's hands, Bai Yu was not worried. He saved her once, so he naturally had ways to save her a second and third time. No matter what, he would have a backup plan.

Even though there are certain risks, it is worth a try.

This thought was interrupted by a sigh.

Amemiya Mahiru puffed up her cheeks unhappily: "I don't like it when the master tests me like this."

Bai Yu was stunned: "What do you mean by testing? What did I test you with?"

"Please sir, don't test my depth anymore."

Bai Yu: "???"

He choked directly: "Don't talk nonsense, when did I test your depth, I didn't... No, I didn't!"

Amamiya Mahiru didn't understand the dirty joke and continued, "I'm not very cunning. Sir, just be frank. There's no need to beat around the bush."

Bai Yu finally understood that the word "deep" was used to describe cunningness. Oh, this girl almost sent me straight to the Akina Mountain with just one sentence...

"What did I test you with?" He still didn't understand.

"Do you really need me to explain this, sir?"

"You could explain it more clearly."

"Okay." Amamiya Mahiru laid her cards on the table, speaking frankly. Her expression was serious: "I only have one reason to reject Kazama Kazuha. All other reasons are unimportant. To me, what really matters is... I must never surrender to him."

"Cooperation doesn't count as surrender."

"It's all the same. If he controls all my resources, he can't force me to do anything. I have no choice but to agree." Amamiya Mahiru shook her head. "I can't accept that. More importantly, I can't accept him as my master!"

The girl's chest rose and fell as she spoke slowly and lowly, "Because my lord, there is only you, sir!"

Holding the knife, she swore to the heavens: "Mahiru will never serve two masters in this life!"

There was a loud thunder, as if it struck Bai Yu's crown.

...My Lord?

...When did I become your master? But it doesn't seem to make any practical difference. After all, the Heroic Spirit is in my hands...

"Emmmm..." Bai Yu actually treated Amemiya Mahiru as a little sister, but she didn't expect her to think this way: "I really didn't expect you to regard me as your master. Is that too much of an exaggeration?"

"Mahiru can only do this." Amamiya Mahiru sighed slowly and grabbed her sleeves: "If not, how can I repay your kindness?"

The girl bit her lower lip and said, "Mahiru will soon be on the run, heading to Edo to seek the protection of her family. I cannot repay you for your kindness, sir."

"You have bestowed upon me so many gifts, helped me escape the shackles of the Nan Family, and helped me regain the Amamiya family name. Yet, you also allowed me to be willful and not kill Nan Shihui, leaving behind endless troubles."

"I'm so sorry for your kind help, sir... I'm so ashamed!"
