Great Swordsman Ke Xue.

Chapter 588 Thoughts

"Ms. Ikenami, do you have anything else to say now?"

Coming out of Master Isshin's courtyard and walking on the road, Shimizu Koji asked Hattori Shizuka.

Hattori Shizuka no longer had the same attitude as before. There was some complicated meaning in her eyes when she looked at Shimizu Koji. Well, it was probably a bit like envy and jealousy, and at the same time, she felt like she was looking at a fool.

However, in the face of Shimizu Koji's question, she still answered very sincerely: "Since Master Isshin has affirmed your character, then I have nothing to say. It is not a big mistake for a man to be unfaithful. I just hope that you will not disappoint He Ye's feelings."

Although Hattori Shizuka is not He Ye's mother, or even a blood relative, these words sound very natural coming from her mouth.

"Of course."

Shimizu Koji nodded in agreement, then looked at the road ahead and asked, "Then Ms. Ikeba, why don't we separate here? I still have some things to do."

Hattori Shizuka looked at Shimizu Koji in confusion. Although she was curious, she did not ask, "Okay."

There is a fork in the road ahead. The road on the left leads to the gate of the guesthouse, while the road on the right leads to the main venue.

Both Shimizu Koji and Hattori Shizuka thought that the other would take the left path, until the two of them stepped onto the right path side by side, then they stopped at the same time and looked back at each other in confusion.

"Ms. Ikebo, are you planning to attend this exchange meeting as well?"

"The same to you?"

Actually, Ikebo Jinghua had not originally planned to attend, but just now on the way, she suddenly remembered that the essence of this exchange meeting was actually a trading conference. At the conference she attended more than ten years ago, there appeared precious treasures that could heal and eradicate hidden injuries of the body and enhance vitality. She changed her mind with an idea.

Although she knew that the chances of such a treasure appearing at the conference or her finally getting the treasure in the bidding were slim, she still wanted to give it a try.

Seeing that Shimizu Koji was also planning to participate, Hattori Shizuka frowned slightly in confusion. She didn't want to let Shimizu Koji know what she was here for, because even if there was only a slight possibility, she didn't want to expose her son's secret.

She seemed to have returned to the noble and elegant Mrs. Hattori in the afternoon. When she frowned, there was a coldness that kept people at a distance. Although this verified the character of Shimizu Koji, it did not mean that there was any special development between Hattori Shizuka and Shimizu Koji.

If this noble lady's delicate hand had not pinched his thigh just over ten minutes ago, Koji Shimizu would not have dared to say that he knew Hattori Shizuka.

"Let's go together." Shimizu Koji suggested.

Hattori Shizuka thought about it and had no choice but to agree since she had no choice but to refuse.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening. The moonlight was like water, pouring into the courtyard. The faint shadows of bamboos were swaying, and the footsteps lightly stepping on the stone road became the only sound in the yard at this moment.

They were the last two people to arrive at the meeting. The conference had officially started five minutes ago, but the exchange meeting did not have any strict restrictions on lateness, so after verifying their identities, the two of them walked into the hall with their respective invitations.

Of course, the share that Shimizu Koji received was given by Master Isshin, otherwise he would probably have been stopped outside. Hattori Shizuka was a little surprised by this. She was of course curious about what Shimizu Koji and Master Isshin talked about, but of course she would not take the initiative to ask about such things.

The hall was just as luxurious as last time, and the layout was also very luxurious, whether it was food or decoration. It seemed that these so-called practitioners were just ordinary people who were a little stronger than ordinary people. It was hard for Shimizu Koji to say whether he was disappointed or not. He wanted to see some extraordinary practitioners, but on the other hand, he didn't want these practitioners to be too powerful.

But overall, he was definitely disappointed, because not only did the conference venue look chaotic, but the so-called practitioners also looked like ordinary people, gathering in groups of three or five to communicate.

That's it?

However, what worried Koji Shimizu was that after entering the hall, the mood of Hattori Shizuka beside him began to become obviously abnormal.

Hattori Shizuka first glanced at the bustling crowd, then turned to look at him, her expression somewhat conflicted and cautious.

Hattori Shizuka now really wants to get rid of the burden of Shimizu Koji, but she can't find a suitable reason.

On the contrary, because she had gotten to know Shimizu Koji a little bit along the way, she knew that if she spoke casually, it might have the opposite effect.

Hattori Shizuka was a little unsure about Shimizu Koji's character, just like she was actually a little unsure about her relationship with Shimizu Koji. From the moment the showdown began, Hattori Shizuka felt that Shimizu Koji had no respect for her as an elder, especially when Shimizu Koji pinched her thigh just now.

It’s a bit like, a friend, or to be more precise, a bad friend?
Hattori Shizuka didn't think too much about it. Although she didn't treat Shimizu Koji as a child, she didn't treat him as a friend either.

"Kouji-kun, if you plan to look around here, I won't accompany you."

"Oh? I am planning to take a look, but I mainly want to see the internal trading meeting. I heard that there will be spiritual food that is very helpful for practice. Is it over there? Ms. Ikebo, are you going there too?"

Koji Shimizu pointed to the crowd gathered over there, but Shizuka Hattori was a little distracted by his casual words.

Spirit, spiritual food?!
Although Hattori Shizuka had not participated in this kind of exchange meeting for many years, she was very clear that the treasures with special effects that she had seen before had a unified name, which was "spiritual food".

"Ms. Ikenami?"

Shimizu Koji stretched out his hand and waved it, and Hattori Shizuka quickly came back to her senses. Her face was very calm, as if nothing had happened. But if you look closely, you will find that her eyes are changing subtly.

"Will there be spiritual food this time? Is this what Master Yixin told you just now?"

"Um, yes. Why, Ms. Ikenami is interested too?"

"Of course I'm interested."

Hattori Shizuka smiled awkwardly but politely. She didn't say anything more, but turned and walked towards the crowd. Shimizu Koji followed her, feeling a little curious.

Hattori Shizuka looked a little strange, but he didn't have any bad habit of prying into other people's secrets. They were just passing by anyway.
