I, Jianhao, infinite flow

Along the way, I also introduced myself to the situation of the Daoteng family.

Passing by a courtyard, Yun Tian could see neatly trimmed flowers and plants and some people who should be in charge of cleaning.

Basically, everyone who met along the way would stop what they were doing and bow their heads respectfully after seeing Dai Shino and Kirin clearly.

"These are all disciples. They help to do some miscellaneous things while receiving guidance from my family. There is a dedicated longhouse behind the dojo, and many disciples will live here."

Of course, not just any disciple is eligible to live in the home, only some talents or high apprentices from the headquarters and various branches have this qualification.

"Because of Kirin's performance at the Xingwu Festival, there have been quite a few more people joining the Sword and Vine School recently..."

Just as Dai Shino was talking to Yun Tian, ​​a man appeared in front of the three of them.

He was about forty years old, tall, dressed in neat Japanese-style casual clothes, with a soft smile on his face.

"Welcome home, Kirin."

"Father!" Qi Lin ran over immediately.

Toto Seijiro, although he was released from prison two years ago because of Yuntian, Kirin has been studying Zhan City, so father and daughter don't spend much time together.

Yun Tian has heard her description of Seijiro from Qi Lin, and also seen that invitation letter full of calm and formal style.

However, Yun Tian was a little surprised when he saw Seijiro Dao Teng gently stroking his daughter's head.

He thought he would be a more serious middle-aged man like Dai Shino.

"It is thanks to your help that I can see this scene again. On behalf of the Sword Fuji family, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you."

While staring at the two, Dai Zhi Nai walked to Yun Tian's side.

Although the tone was still very flat, Yuntian could clearly feel the old woman's love for Seijiro and Kirin.

"It's nothing more than a little effort, even without me, Kirin can rescue Mr. Seijiro Toto." Yun Tian shook his head.

I thank him for accepting it, but I don't think it is worthy of such a solemn thanks. After all, even without his intervention, the original Qi Lin successfully won the championship and released her father.

"I can't say that, it may be a piece of cake for you, but it is a great kindness to Kirin and the entire Sword and Vine School. One or two years, whether it is for a child or for a genre It's too long."

Having said that, Dai Shino sighed softly, took a step forward, and scolded in a stern voice:

"Qirin! How decent is she in front of guests!"

"Ah! Yes, yes! I'm sorry...!" Chirin was so frightened that she tensed up and left Seijiro's side quickly.

However, even with a cautious attitude, Yun Tian could see the joy of going home from the girl's face, and Dai Zhi Nai didn't intend to continue to blame her.

He just led a few people around the corner and came to a very spacious room.

The four sat facing each other in the center of the room.

Seijiro and Dai Shino sat on the side, while Kirin sat next to Yuntian.

"I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Seijiro Toto, Kirin's father."

"Hi, my name is Yuntian."

After a brief greeting, Seijiro got straight to the point. He bowed deeply to Yun Tian first, and said:

"I understood the matter as early as when I was released from prison. I'm really sorry that I can't express my gratitude in person until now. In any case, Seijiro Toto is grateful for your life-saving grace!"

Yun Tian looked helplessly at Toto Seijiro, now he realized what Dai Shino said just now.

If he does not accept this benediction, obviously this matter will fall into endless evasion.

So, with a sigh in his heart, Yun Tian calmly accepted Qi Lin's father's thanks.

After ten seconds, seeing that it was almost done, Dai Shino opened his mouth to break the slightly awkward atmosphere.

"Okay, it's almost time to get to the point, tell me your answer, Kirin."

The embarrassment disappeared, but this sentence made the atmosphere tense.

There is no doubt that this answer refers to the requirement to inherit the position of the head of the sword and Fuji family.

"I..." Qi Lin was stared at by her father and great-uncle, and felt great pressure for a while.

Just when she was having difficulty opening her mouth, Yun Tian reached out and touched her head.

"…senior."

Qi Lin glanced at Yun Tian, ​​then took a deep breath, and replied with firm eyes:

"I reject!"

Chapter 779

"What's the reason?" Dai Shino wasn't surprised at all, as if he had expected Kirin's reply long ago.

"...I am still immature, and the competition a few days ago made me see the gap between myself and a real swordsman."

Qi Lin didn't flinch, and expressed her thoughts seriously.

"The way of swordsmanship is endless, and I have just stood at the entrance, so I don't think I have the ability to teach others, let alone lead the sword and vine style. I want to continue to study for a while."

Speaking of this, Qi Lin glanced at Yun Tian secretly, but was caught by Yun Tian who had been looking at her, and hurriedly blushed and lowered her head.

However, Dai Shino was not persuaded by Kirin's two words.

"I thought you were going to say something... Your familiarity, understanding, and use of sword and vine style have long been no less than me and Seijiro. This is recognized by everyone."

"If you are not good enough, who else is suitable to inherit the position of Patriarch?"

Hearing what Daishino said, Kirin shook his head.

"No, that's just an accidental gift of intelligence."

"Hmph, do you think my evaluation doesn't include your hard work over time?" Dai Shino glared at Kirin sharply.

And Kirin also faced Dai Shino's gaze straightly, and then said:

"Swordsmanship will reveal the whole of a person. Because of this, the person who is the master of the genre must have a corresponding depth."

"Even though my swordsmanship is excellent, it's still only a matter of strength. I haven't underestimated my efforts, but I don't think that's the essence of swordsmanship."

"Oh? The essence of swordsmanship?" Dai Shino looked at Kirin and asked very seriously:

"Speaking so big, what do you think is the essence of swordsmanship?"

"I think it's my own belief!" Qi Lin replied decisively.

"Faith." Dai Zhina whispered these two words softly.

"So that's the case. Then, the so-called belief in your mouth can only be cultivated in Xuezhan City?"

This time, Qi Lin was finally stopped.

The girl was a little flustered, and then she didn't know what to think, and her face turned red visible to the naked eye.

Twitching for a bit, Qi Lin couldn't help but secretly glanced at Yun Tian, ​​and then took a deep breath like cheering and said:

"Yes! I have a reason to stay there!"

Dai Shino didn't reply immediately this time, but stared at Kirin silently for a while.

After a while, she shifted her gaze to Yun Tian, ​​and then back to Qi Lin again.

"Oh." Suddenly, she sighed as if she was relieved, and her expression eased from seriousness.

"It's really easy for the little guy to talk. My old bones may be numbered."

"Eh?! Don't, don't say that, grand-uncle!"

With a soft smile on his face, Daishino looked at Kirin who suddenly became flustered with a happy expression, and even Seijiro Toto, who had not interrupted all this time, couldn't help laughing.

Yun Tian looked at the old lady, then at Qi Lin's father, then at the flustered Qi Lin, and finally confirmed a fact in his heart.

Kirin is really fun!

"Forget it, since you have found your own answer, then I won't force it anymore." Dai Zhina shook his head.

"As you please, Seijiro agrees?"

"Yeah." Toto Seijiro nodded with a slight smile.

At this time, Kirin, who understood the current situation, also smiled in surprise, and said excitedly:

"No, thank you very much! Great-uncle!"

……

It was not too early when Yuntian and Kirin arrived at Dao Teng's house, so after talking about business, Yuntian had a dinner under the hospitality of Seijiro and others.

Very formal dinner.

Apparently, it was the standard of the Sword Fuji family to entertain distinguished guests, and Kirin would accompany them throughout the whole process, and only Dai Shino and Seijiro were eligible to sit with them.

Although there were only four of them, the dishes were quite sumptuous and sumptuous, probably because Qi Lin had said hello in advance, and the meals prepared for Yun Tian were full of portions.

And Yuntian also unceremoniously swept away all the dishes under the shocked gazes of Dai Shino and Seijiro.

Satisfied with tea and food, Daishino and Seijiro left.

Because Qi Lin finally rejected the position of Patriarch, many things and policies still need to be decided by the two of them, and it is getting late.

Then Qi Lin took Yun Tian to the guest room prepared for him.

Just as the two were walking along the wooden corridor, a woman strolled leisurely from the other end of the corridor.

He is a head taller than Qi Lin, and his appearance is similar to Qi Lin's, with long hair hanging down to his waist and tied casually.

The appearance is very young, in Yuntian's view, it is the age that has just got rid of the student status, but like Qi Lin, it has a contrasting grandeur.

Looking at the woman approaching with a gentle smile, Yun Tian asked Qi Lin beside him:

"This is your sister?"

However, before Qi Lin could speak, the woman walked over with a smile.

"Oh, I can talk~ Hello, I am Qi Lin's mother, and my name is Qin Ye."

"Eh? Ah, uh...you, hello, my name is Yuntian."

Hearing the other party's introduction, Yun Tian didn't react for a while, and was stunned.

"Hehe, don't be so stiff, relax a little~ You are still our family's benefactor, and Kirin is always taken care of by you, thank you."
