Chapter 415: The Oniwabanshu
Chapter 415: The Oniwabanshu
Kurotsuchi's fierce anger caused the geisha performances to come to an abrupt halt.
Several geishas sitting near him were so startled by his wrath that they fell backward in a heap, while the guards attending them nearby exchanged uncertain glances.
"Yes..."
"Lord Kurotsuchi..."
After a brief hesitation, they reluctantly acknowledged him and began moving towards Feng Ye.
While it was unconventional to eject someone without cause, when it came to a figure as influential as Kurotsuchi, his word was the law.
Anyone who dared ruin his enjoyment was committing a grave offense.
However, just as the guards were advancing towards Feng Ye, and the nearby geishas wore expressions of uncertainty, a figure suddenly appeared, blocking their path.
This intruder had eyebrows raised in defiance, an air of eccentricity about him, a sword at his waist, and his hand resting on the hilt. With a challenging gaze, he addressed the guards, "What do you think you're doing?"
"Kyo... Kyoshiro!"
The guards' faces paled as they recognized the man before them, and they halted in their tracks.
Witnessing this, Kurotsuchi furrowed his brows, fixing his stare on Kyoshiro, "Hey, Kyoshiro, that kid ruined my fun. Are you going to meddle in this matter too?"
"It's not that I want to meddle..."
Kyoshiro caressed the hilt of his sword, a mischievous smile playing on his lips, "But isn't it against the rules? We can't just throw out a guest who hasn't done anything wrong, especially not here, where I'm in charge. If they can't pay up later, it's up to me to deal with it."
Kurotsuchi's face darkened.
Anyone else, any other member of the Inner Court, would likely have given him face, but the man before him, Kyoshiro, was different. He was a man who valued rules above all else! If any rules were broken, he would show no mercy, not even for personal connections, and this unyielding adherence to principles was precisely why Kyoshiro had earned the trust of Orochimaru.
"Then I won't bother staying any longer!"
With a cold huff, Kurotsuchi turned and strode towards the exit.
He had no desire to tangle with a madman like Kyoshiro unnecessarily. Should a conflict arise and he end up on the wrong end of Kyoshiro's blade, Orochimaru would likely only reprimand Kyoshiro and leave it at that.
"Do stay safe."
Kyoshiro's lips curved in a slight smile as he removed his hand from his sword.
Then,
He glanced sideways at Feng Ye, who sat not too far away.
If Mitsuki's demeanor was described as carefree, then Feng Ye's was elegant, an aura complemented by his appearance, truly capable of driving women wild.
However, if one were to compare their popularity, it might be Mitsuki who had the upper hand, having established a massive harem at the temple when he was just fifteen years old?
As he thought of Mitsuki, the light in Kyoshiro's eyes dimmed slightly.
He turned and began making his way upstairs.
"Kyoshiro, huh..."
"An interesting man."
Feng Ye, seated at the table, took a bite of an apple and smiled faintly as he watched Kyoshiro ascend the stairs.
With Kyoshiro having sent Kurotsuchi away, the geishas in the vicinity breathed a collective sigh of relief, and many resumed their performances. However, some of them looked at Feng Ye with concern.
Kyoshiro may have saved the day for now, but Kurotsuchi wouldn't let this slide. He would likely hold a grudge against Feng Ye! Thankfully, Feng Ye was safe for the moment.
"Sir, you don't seem to be from the Flower Capital, do you?"
A charming-looking geisha kneeling beside Feng Ye poured him a cup of wine and asked quietly.
Seeing that Feng Ye didn't seem to recognize the person he had offended, she assumed he wasn't a local, as anyone from the Flower Capital would have known Kwairo. Otherwise, he wouldn't be this calm.
"Mhm."
Feng Ye took the wine cup and nodded slightly.
The geisha whispered, "Then may I ask what your occupation is?"
"Occupation..."
Feng Ye smiled gently and replied with a single word, "Ninja."
The geisha was taken aback, surprised by his answer. "You're a ninja?!
"Don't I seem like one?"
Feng Ye glanced at her and countered.
The geisha hesitated, then leaned in and whispered, "Indeed, I wouldn't have guessed... But if you're a ninja, then it's fortunate. The man you offended earlier is highly favored by General Orochimaru. Kwairo will definitely seek revenge if he takes a disliking to you. You can look for Kyoshiro, who was here earlier. As long as you become one of Kyoshiro's subordinates, Kwairo won't dare to touch you."
As a geisha, she was taking a risk by whispering these suggestions to Feng Ye, going beyond what was expected of her.
Feng Ye gave her an extra glance and smiled gently, "I understand. Thank you for the reminder."
Hearing Feng Ye's words and seeing his calm demeanor, the geisha's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said shyly, "Then you should go to him quickly. Kyoshiro should still be upstairs. I'll keep you company when you return..."
"There's no need for such unnecessary suggestions."
Robin, sitting beside them, tilted her head and interrupted gently, "Even if Kwairo's influence were ten times greater, he wouldn't be able to affect Mr. Feng in any way."
"Huh?"
The geisha was taken aback.
Just as she was about to say something, loud shouts came from outside, followed by several figures rushing in.
"All geishas, leave immediately!"
"The Oniwabanshu are on official business! All unrelated persons, leave at once!"
The one leading the group wore a black mask, with two crossed swords on his back. His left hand formed a seal with his middle and index fingers, and his sharp gaze was fixed on Feng Ye.
The geishas in the hall were initially startled, but soon their faces turned fearful. They stopped what they were doing and began to move away.
Even the geisha attending Feng Ye was shocked.
The Oniwabanshu were the personal subordinates of General Orochimaru, and not even Kyoshiro had the authority to command them. Kwairo's revenge was swift! Did he report directly to General Orochimaru?!
"...'
Kyoshiro, who was standing behind the third-floor railing, watched the chaos unfold below with a flicker in his eyes, his gaze fixed on Feng Ye.
Kwairo didn't have the authority to mobilize the Oniwabanshu, so this wasn't his doing. Instead, it was the Oniwabanshu taking action against Feng Ye, proving that this man was not to be underestimated!
Whoosh!
Kyoshiro descended once again from the third floor to the center of the hall.
Upon seeing Kyoshiro, several members of the Oniwabanshu immediately bowed and said, "Kyoshiro, we are acting under Fukuro's orders to capture a dangerous individual!"
