After a fierce battle with real swords and guns.
Pingliang Xiangzhi lay exhausted in Xu Wendong’s arms, her face flushed, breathing like orchids, her body glistening with fragrant sweat, a look of satisfaction and intoxication written all over her face.
"Miss Kaori, don’t you really feel aggrieved being with ?" Xu Wendong couldn’t help but ask. Every ti he was with Pingliang Xiangzhi, he couldn’t control his emotions.
He truly gave it his all, not caring about her feelings.
Once he cald down, even he felt like a beast.
It was truly damnable.
But.
Pingliang Xiangzhi had no complaints about this.
"Mr. Yanagida saved my life, he’s my lifesaver. Why should I resent my lifesaver?" Pingliang Xiangzhi quietly nestled in his arms, "Besides, in my heart, Mr. Yanagida is not just my lifesaver, he’s my god."
"It was because of your presence that I gained divine power."
She attributed the source of her divine power to Xu Wendong.
Little did she know.
The divine power she acquired actually ca from Xu Wendong.
Xu Wendong felt sowhat guilty, and could only hold the woman tightly in his arms, with the thought of falling asleep while holding her. However, his brother betraying him stood proud and pressed against Pingliang Xiangzhi.
Pingliang Xiangzhi’s face reddened, and she said with admiration all over her face, "Mr. Yanagida, you’re truly amazing!"
Xu Wendong’s face was full of embarrassnt.
He had always been able to control his emotions, but since eting Pingliang Xiangzhi, his emotions seed to run out of control.
"Mr. Yanagida, you take a break first, I’ll attend to you," Pingliang Xiangzhi said, her face blushing, crouching on Xu Wendong’s waist, finding the right spot, and slowly sat down.
As she sat down, her face was adorned with a shy yet captivating smile.
This scene felt particularly familiar to Xu Wendong.
Almost like a scene straight out of a Wa Country movie.
------
The next day.
Just after having lunch in the Martial Arts Hall, a young disciple ca in, respectfully addressing Pingliang Xiangzhi, "Master, the people from the Asou Family have arrived. They are outside and wish to see you!"
"What are the Asou Family people here for?" Pingliang Xiangzhi slightly furrowed her brows. She knew the Asou Family had significant influence in Wa Country, but they had no interaction whatsoever.
Not even when her father was alive did they have any contact.
Even though she didn’t know the Asou Family’s intention, Pingliang Xiangzhi still said, "Bring them to the front hall!"
"Yes, Master."
"Mr. Yanagida, let’s also move to the front hall." Although Pingliang Xiangzhi had beco the master of Yamato Kendo Hall, and the foremost figure in the martial arts world of Wa Country,
she felt truly confident only with Xu Wendong by her side.
Xu Wendong responded with a hum and followed Pingliang Xiangzhi to the front hall.
Monts later.
The disciple of the Martial Arts Hall led a few middle-aged n inside, the leader appeared to be in his forties, wearing a black suit, with black-frad glasses, an indifferent expression, exuding an imposing aura without the need for anger.
Beside him was a young man in his twenties, wearing expensive designer clothes, with a costly luxury wristwatch, giving off the vibe of a rich kid.
However, the gaze he directed at Pingliang Xiangzhi was filled with lewd light.
"Hello, Miss Kaori, please allow to introduce myself," the middle-aged man cut straight to the point, "I am Asou Naoshi, the general manager of the Asou Group."
"Next to is Asou No, the future heir of the Asou Group."
Pingliang Xiangzhi responded neither humbly nor arrogantly, "May I ask what brings you here, Mr. Asou?"
Asou Naoshi sighed lightly, "I have known your late father for many years and was heartbroken to hear that he was murdered by a traitor in Great Xia. I am deeply saddened."
"I ca here to visit the descendant of an old friend, and I hope Miss Kaori will be able to take care of yourself and stay strong."
Pingliang Xiangzhi politely said, "Thank you, Mr. Asou, for your visit. I will take good care of myself."
She felt that Asou Naoshi’s arrival was sowhat baffling.
Because she had never heard her father ntion their acquaintance.
However, since they were guests,
she couldn’t turn hostile casually.
Asou Naoshi went straight to the point, "Besides that, there is another matter, which is to propose marriage to Miss Kaori." He signaled the bodyguards behind him with a look.
The bodyguards imdiately opened the black leather case in their hands, revealing piles of property deeds and contract transfer docunts.
Pingliang Xiangzhi imdiately furrowed her brows, "Mr. Asou, did you just say what I think you did? Propose marriage to ?"
"Yes," Asou Naoshi said, "The Asou Family and your late father were longti friends, and now that your father has tragically died, leaving you, Miss Kaori, a weak woman with heavy responsibilities, how could we, as close friends, stand by and do nothing?"
"However, any form of help must have a legitimate basis. An alliance between our two families through marriage is the best choice."
"Although this may seem abrupt, there is truly no better solution, is there?"
Pingliang Xiangzhi felt a strong surge of anger rising in her heart, "Mr. Asou, you’re not seriously thinking that our Yamato Kendo Hall needs to rely on your Asou Family, are you?"
She had felt sothing strange about Asou Naoshi’s appearance, and sure enough, the fox’s tail was exposed.
However.
She never expected that they had set their sights on her.
In the past, she might have considered it.
But after Xu Wendong appeared, there was no room for anyone else in her world!
At this mont.
Asou No’s voice rang out, "Miss Kaori, there’s no need to get angry. We do not deny your strength nor the influence of Yamato Kendo Hall."
"But there’s sothing you need to know, Yamato Kendo Hall today has beco the leading force in Bushido."
He revealed an intriguing smile, "If a piece of scrap iron is discarded on the roadside, it may not attract attention."
"But once that piece of scrap iron is forged into a sharp weapon, many will covet it, even seeking to control it!"
"No matter how strong Yamato Kendo Hall is, can it be stronger than the governnt?"
Pingliang Xiangzhi found herself at a loss for words.
In fact, she had thought about this issue just last night.
While the unification of Bushido fulfilled her father’s last wishes, it also brought risks.
If soone set their sights on Yamato Kendo Hall, seeking to control it.
What would the outco be then?
As Asou No just ntioned, Yamato Kendo Hall cannot possibly contend with the governnt!
Asou Naoshi said, "The Asou Family has a legacy spanning hundreds of years. We believe we have a certain influence within this country, and have had several ministers erge from our family."
"If Miss Kaori is willing to marry into the Asou Family, the Asou Family is willing to ensure Miss Kaori’s safety for a lifeti."
"I believe in this regard, Miss Kaori should not doubt the strength of the Asou Family, right?"
"Not only that, but we will also help Miss Kaori find Mr. Yano’s remains and bring them back to Wa Country, allowing him to rest in peace in his holand!"
"You wouldn’t want your father to wander like a lost soul in a foreign land, would you?"
