How did this pair of sisters appear here? Yamabuki was a little confused, but after thinking about it for a while, he understood that it was normal for great nobles to move back and forth.
Many nobles are related by marriage, and the relationships between these nobles are as complicated as a spider web. It is better not to get involved in the struggles among these people.
"Instructor, look, it's Qianwu-chan, should we go up and say hello?" A team member said excitedly.
As one of the only two female members of the Gotei 13, Qianwu is young and beautiful, so of course, she is sought after by many boys.
What? You said Saito is a young girl. How can a creature like that be called a girl? It's just a scary creature that looks like a girl.
" Shut up, you idiot. Don't forget that we still have a mission to complete! Besides, didn't you see that they have something to deal with? You have no eyesight at all! You go back and report what happened in Rukongai to the captain first. I'll go check on Qianwu's injuries." Yamabuki, said indifferently as he walked forward.
These team members, including Chōjirō, are all confused. Is this the legendary double standard? They have truly learned something new today.
Yamabuki did not go up to greet Qianwu and Batsu'unsai directly but secretly observed the two sisters.
According to the history of the Gotei 13, Batsu'unsai will definitely join the Gotei 13, but now this girl is very resistant to joining the Gotei 13. I have to find out the reason and untie her knot.
Chōjirō asked curiously, "Brother Yamabuki, why are you looking at people secretly? Don't you go up and say hello? Is this... peeping? Are you a pervert?"
Yamabuki said seriously, "Chōjirō, today I will tell you a very important truth. Men are perverted by nature. You are the same!"
' Don't drag me into this! It's you who's sneaking around looking at the girl, right? Why do you want to drag someone down with you before you die? You're really unreliable! Chōjirō could only curse inwardly as he just nodded his head. He didn't dare to complain as he was sure this big brother would definitely take revenge on him.
"Didn't I assign you a mission? Go back quickly and tell the captain what we saw in the Ryūgon District. Go away! Don't delay my business!" said Yamabuki.
The main business he was talking about was, of course, to find a way to get Batsu'unsai into the Gotei 13, but Chōjirō completely misunderstood Yamabuki's meaning.
' Wow, he is so confident in peeking at beautiful women. He is truly a role model for us. Chōjirō thought inwardly.
The head of the Shiba family is a middle-aged uncle whom I have met before in Central Room 46. He is a carefree and very nice person.
Compared to other nobles, the Shiba family is simply a breath of fresh air.
They have lived in Rukongai for generations, never intermarried, upheld justice, and are the first to stand up when Soul Society is in trouble. The whole family is loyal and brave.
The Tsunayashiro family was afraid of the Soul King's power, so they kept dismembering him, hollowing out his internal organs, reducing his power, and throwing him into the underworld.
The Shiba family has always been opposed to the actions of the Tsunayashiro family and even developed a secret technique that can allow the power of the god of death to reach the level of the Soul King in a short period of time, thus alleviating the Soul King's pain.
Unfortunately, the two sides were too far apart, and Yamabuki couldn't hear what the other party was saying. Batsu'unsai 's strength was only higher than his current self, and if he got too close, he would probably be discovered, and it would be too embarrassing if he couldn't explain it.
The head of the Shiba family looks carefree, while Batsu'unsai and his sister Qianwu look like two elegant young ladies.
After a few words, both parties said goodbye. Batsu'unsai and his sister took a carriage to return to Soul Society. Yamabuki followed from a distance, looking for an opportunity to get close to Batsu'unsai. As the saying goes, it's not the thief who steals that you're afraid of, but the thief who only thinks about it. Bah, I'm not a thief. I'm making great contributions to the Gotei 13.
This place is quite a distance away from Seireitei, and the road is not very peaceful. You can often see thugs and samurai wandering around the streets.
The only purpose of this group of people is to maintain the balance of the Three Realms, so in the past, neither the nobles nor the Spirit King Palace cared about them. Even when the Three Realms were out of balance, the nobles would kill a group of civilians to achieve the goal of balancing the Three Realms.
There is nothing we can do about it. Order does not mean justice.
Qianwu was holding a box in her hands, which looked like a gift from the Shiba family to them. Qianwu leaned over and sniffed it gently with her little nose and smelled a sweet fragrance.
"Sister, I guess there are snacks in the box. Let's open it and take a look." Qianwu said curiously.
Before Batsu'unsai could stop her, Qianwu had already opened the exquisite box lid, revealing very delicate pastries inside.
"It's white sugar cake!" Qianwu's eyes lit up. In this era of low productivity, fine white sugar and salt are very expensive, and ordinary people can't afford them at all.
Batsu'unsai did not blame her sister but just smiled dotingly. This was how her life would be, spending the rest of her life in depression, so she hoped that her sister could live a happy life, be free, and do whatever she wanted.
Qianwu took a bite of the white sugar cake, it was sweet and delicious. Batsu'unsai helped his sister wipe the white sugar from the corner of her mouth.
"Sister, would you like to try it too?" Qianwu said.
Just as Batsu'unsai picked up a piece of white sugar cake, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the white sugar cake in Batsu'unsai 's hand fell to the ground.
"What happened?" Batsu'unsai 's voice was still as gentle as ever, and she did not blame the coachman.
The driver said nervously, "Master, this is bad. There is someone blocking the road ahead. What should we do?"
Batsu'unsai gently pulled aside the curtains and discovered that their carriage had been surrounded by bandits, and there were quite a few of them, as many as twenty or thirty people.
This place is quite far from Soul Society, and it might be too late to ask for help.
The bandits kept hitting the carriage with sticks and scabbards and made threatening noises.
"Everyone in the car, hand over all the food and money you have! Otherwise, don't think you can get through so easily." The bandit leader shouted.
The driver was very nervous and shouted while holding the hilt of his knife, "Arrogant! Do you know whose car this is?"
Qianwu was also a little nervous, but she was going out to visit friends today and had no weapons with her. Moreover, she had just recovered from a serious illness and might not be able to defeat so many desperate criminals.
Batsu'unsai sighed softly: "Let them get out of the way and give them some money!"
As he spoke, Batsu'unsai came out of the carriage, took off his purse, and handed it over.
Judging from the weight, there was a lot of money in the purse, but the bandits did not take the purse. Instead, they stared at Batsu'unsai in a daze.
"It turns out to be a noble girl! I've made up my mind, I want the money, and I want the girl too! Hahaha!" The bandit laughed obscenely.
What he didn't notice at all was the white light flashing on Batsu'unsai 's glasses.
