Chapter 359: I'm a Pure-Hearted God of War!
"Who am I? I'm Yecheng, the Third Seat of the Thirteenth Division. Even if Captain Silversphere and I aren't close, he should at least recognize me, right?
As for getting close to Luan Ju... Captain Silversphere, you must have misunderstood!
Just like what Luan Ju said to Haiyan before, we're purely friends. Since we both enjoy drinking, we're like drinking buddies."
Hearing Silversphere's questioning, Yecheng initially thought he might have been too intimate with Luan Ju, causing Silversphere to suspect him. Now, he had revealed himself, intending to silence Yecheng.
"Stop pretending. If we're talking about acting, it's not just you who's good at it.
Your every move in the Human World is under my surveillance!
I have no interest in your motives, but I want to know why you approached Luan Ju. Are you planning to use her for something?"
Seeing Yecheng still trying to feign ignorance, Silversphere laid his cards on the table, and a dangerous aura began to emanate from his body.
Yecheng was also surprised to learn that his actions in the Human World were being monitored by Silversphere.
He had thought that he and Luan Ju, being minor figures, wouldn't attract Gin Ichimaru's attention.
"I didn't expect Captain Ichimaru to be so cautious. He's even monitoring the movements of a Vice-Captain and a Seated Officer."
Yecheng was surprised by Silversphere's words, but he didn't panic.
Silversphere had just made it clear that he was aware of every move Yecheng and Luan Ju made in the Human World.
It was under "his" surveillance, not under the joint surveillance of Silversphere and Ichimaru. In other words, Ichimaru might not be aware of it yet.
If it were Kaname Tosen, Yecheng and Luan Ju might have been in trouble by now.
But Yecheng knew Silversphere was a professional double agent, and his proximity to Ichimaru was likely just to achieve his own goals.
If it were just Yecheng, Silversphere might have sold him out to gain more trust from Ichimaru.
However, since Luan Ju was involved, the situation was different. The fact that Silversphere appeared alone, without the gel-haired leader, was the best proof.
"You're smarter than I thought, and your strength is well-hidden. From Captain Tagawa and Furukawa Kiyotsugu, you must have learned many inside secrets.
If you're hiding things from the Captain-Commander, it shows you're also an ambitious person. But let me remind you, those who think they're clever often end up burning themselves."
Clearly, Silversphere now viewed Yecheng as a similar type to Ichimaru, though he didn't know what Yecheng was plotting. It was evident that Yecheng's intentions were not simple.
"Huh? Why do you all think this way? Does hiding strength mean plotting something sinister? Does withholding information mean having malicious intentions?
My primary reason for hiding my strength is self-preservation, and I just want to slack off.
As for not reporting information, it's only because I don't want trouble and prefer to be a flounder."
"Moreover, Captain Silversphere think that if I were to reveal everything, it would be a good thing for Luan Ju?
Let's not discuss whether the Captain-Commander would believe our report. As one who helped uncover the truth, what do you think her fate would be?"
Hearing Yecheng's words, Silversphere was stunned. Previously, he had thought Yecheng was withholding information due to ambition and conspiracy.
And now, as he seriously reflected on it, he suddenly realized that Yecheng's actions seemed to be for Ran Ju's safety as well.
There was no doubt that Gin Ichimaru was ruthless, and no one understood this better than Yatomaru Risasha. In his eyes, everyone was merely a disposable pawn.
Previously, to ensure his successful rise, Gin Ichimaru had no qualms about sacrificing a few high-quality experimental subjects, nearly a third of the Shinigami captains and vice-captains, to further his goals.
Ran Ju was merely a vice-captain, and Gin Ichimaru wouldn't give her a second thought. If Gin Ichimaru learned that Ran Ju knew too much, her fate would undoubtedly be sealed.
Then, Yatomaru Risasha recalled that during the battle with the Menos Army, Yecheng had never forgotten to protect the drunk Ran Ju with Kido. As he looked at Yecheng, his expression changed.
"So that's how it is. I understand...
I hope you'll protect Ran Ju well. If I ever find out that you're merely using her, I'll make you regret it!"
After Yatomaru Risasha finished speaking, his figure disappeared before Yecheng, leaving Yecheng completely bewildered.
You understand? You don't understand a damn thing! She's your woman, why should I protect her?
Hearing Yatomaru Risasha's words before leaving, Yecheng narrowed his eyes, clearly misunderstanding his meaning once again.
He had seen such cheesy scenes before, but he never thought they would happen to him.
Yatomaru Risasha's recent gentlemanly pose made Yecheng cringe. He was a pure love war god, and this felt like being treated as a minotaur!
His silver hair was so handsome, why would he think of him as a blond? And Yatomaru Risasha, did he really want to dye his hair green?
As Ran Ju's childhood friend, Yatomaru Risasha's feelings for her were undoubtedly deep.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have endured the humiliation and stayed by Gin Ichimaru's side to retrieve Ran Ju's Spirit Particles.
After misunderstanding that Yecheng had feelings for Ran Ju, Yatomaru Risasha didn't think it was necessarily a good thing.
Because according to Gin Ichimaru's goals and plans, his betrayal of the Soul Society was only a matter of time.
With the blood of many Shinigami on his hands, even if he were exposed as a traitor, he couldn't redeem himself or return to the Gotei Thirteen.
Yecheng's intentions were unclear, but he had both strength and wits. If he truly liked Ran Ju, he could protect her in Yatomaru Risasha's stead.
As for Yatomaru Risasha, after he betrayed the Soul Society, Ran Ju would probably resent him for life. But that was fine; after all, ever since they were in Soul Street, he had made a vow, and everything he was doing now was in accordance with that promise.
Regarding Yecheng and Ran Ju's activities in the Human World, Yatomaru Risasha ultimately chose not to report them to Gin Ichimaru, or at least not to report anything significant.
However, when he learned that Tagawa Ichinsei had changed his name to Kurosaki Ichigo and married Kurosaki Matoi, a Quincifier, Gin Ichimaru became quite interested.
When Kurosaki Matoi killed the Hollow, her body was infected by its power, or rather, the power of the Hollow resided within her.
And when she gave birth to Kurosaki Ichigo, the power of the Hollow transferred to Ichigo's body.
Thus, an overpowered character with the combined powers of Hollows, Shinigami, and Quincifiers was born!
