"What should we do?" Inoue Kaori asked, glaring at her impatient disciple.
Fukuda Hideo stammered, "You see, they... those two..."
Inoue Kyoko understood what he meant. He was just too agitated to express his inner frustration and helplessness.
"Fukuda Hideo, you are truly an unqualified Ninjutsu practitioner. Why do you get so worked up over everything?"
Inoue Kyoko criticized him and continued, "As for Daoxiang Zhenyuan, I know a bit about him. He is a staunch pro-China advocate. However, he is sworn brothers with Xiao Yun, and I think he is just being impulsive. Besides, the one named Xiao came to Japan to search for the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror, not specifically to become sworn brothers with Daoxiang Zhenyuan. As long as he separates from Daoxiang Zhenyuan, we can take action. For now, we just need to keep an eye on him and wait for the right moment!"
...
"Brother Yun, from now on we are family, so there’s no need for formality between us!" Daoxiang Zhenyuan said as he put his arm around Xiao Yun's shoulders.
Daoxiang Zhenyuan's gesture seemed very intimate.
However, Master Xiao was not accustomed to this kind of enthusiasm from Daoxiang Zhenyuan. Mud Horse! How would others perceive these two big men being so close together?
What would the animals think? Am I made of calcium? I don't like bromance.
But he couldn't completely reject such warmth either. Xiao Yun smiled and patted Daoxiang Zhenyuan on the back, saying, "Rice Fragrance Brother, don’t worry; I won’t be formal in front of you."
"Great! Since it’s still early, let’s go to Kuzun village and grab something to eat before heading back to the county town in the afternoon!" Daoxiang Zhenyuan suggested.
Xiao Yun felt hungry too and nodded in agreement, "Sure, I’ll follow Rice Fragrance Brother's lead!"
Xiao Yun kept calling him Rice Fragrance Brother, making Daoxiang Zhenyuan laugh heartily.
The four of them got into a car and headed towards Kuzumura.
Through Spiritual Sense, Xiao Yun saw Inoue Kyoko and Fukuda Hideo secretly following him. His eyes couldn't help but sparkle with amusement as he thought to himself how hard this pair of master and disciple were working for their own sake.
Xiao Yun really wanted to stretch his hand out of the car window and make a peace sign at the duo, teasing them to come on, bouncing around behind him. Wasn't it tiring?
Of course, Xiao Yun was very clear that if it weren't for Daoxiang Zhenyuan being by his side, this master and disciple would have definitely attacked him by now.
Before long, the car drove into a village hidden among green trees.
The village looked more like a small rural town. Here, there were wooden houses as well as two-story buildings with white walls and red tiles, characteristic of Huaxia.
The village had taverns and various small shops. Food, drinks, and daily necessities could all be purchased here.
It seemed that Daoxiang Zhenyuan often visited the countryside, as many people greeted him warmly along the way.
"Governor, you're here! Welcome to my home for a visit!"
"Governor, did you bring friends to play?"
"Governor, we just caught a fine fish! Come to my house and taste it!"
Daoxiang Zhenyuan responded with a smile while introducing to Xiao Yun: "Actually, there are many Chinese living in this village. Brother Yun, did you know that our county government once conducted a survey? There are over three thousand Huaxia people doing business here in Yamaguchi Prefecture."
"Oh, there are so many people!" Xiao Yun exclaimed in surprise.
Before long, Daoxiang Zhenyuan took Xiao Yun to a restaurant run by Huaxia people.
Sitting at a table by the window, Daoxiang Zhenyuan pointed out to a nearby bay and said: "I've often heard that there is an eddy flowing from Huaxia to here. People frequently fish out objects that drift over from Huaxia. It is said that Yang Guifei once landed here on a shell boat."
Speaking of some ancient relics and old stories, Daoxiang Zhenyuan is quite talkative.
"I didn't expect you to know so much about these rumors!" Xiao Yun said with a smile.
Daoxiang Zhenyuan replied, "Yes, I have always believed that the prosperity of Yamaguchi Prefecture is inseparable from the Huaxia people. Huaxia and Japan should be like brothers, but unfortunately, some politicians always harbor covetous thoughts towards Huaxia, which really annoys me. Just take our current Prime Minister as an example; he is a complete right-winger. Although our relationship is very close, we often argue over certain matters!"
Just then, the restaurant boss brought out the food and drinks.
Daoxiang Zhenyuan had to drive and couldn't drink alcohol, so he could only have tea instead. Inaka Hiraiko and Long Yan accompanied Xiao Yun in drinking white wine.
Xiao Yun's Spiritual Sense scanned outside the restaurant and noticed that Inoue Kyoko and Fukuda Hideo were lingering nearby. He secretly smirked, thinking that it was indeed a good idea to have Daoxiang Zhenyuan accompany him here today; if a fight broke out, it would likely hurt many innocent bystanders.
As they were eating and discussing some interesting anecdotes from ancient and modern times, suddenly there was a loud bang as a Rolling Stone flew in from outside and crashed onto the floor in the middle of the restaurant.
The Rolling Stone was so large that one person couldn't wrap their arms around it. As soon as it landed, it created a deep pit in the stone floor.
At that moment, everyone inside the restaurant was stunned; to throw such a large Rolling Stone inside required immense strength.
Then, a burly man swaggered in through the door, his face full of muscle. Behind him followed several young thugs with dyed hair in various colors.
The big man was bare-chested, arms crossed, with a fierce tiger tattooed on his chest and a clawing dragon on his back.
Upon seeing this muscular man, everyone dining in the restaurant turned pale with fear and hurriedly stood up to make their escape.
"Who is the boss of this restaurant? Get out here!" the bare-chested man bellowed menacingly.
The restaurant boss was a short and chubby man who rushed over upon hearing the commotion. Seeing the burly man made his face change instantly, revealing sheer terror. He hurriedly approached, bowing and clasping his hands together as he said, "Oh, it's Brother Stone Roller from the Tiger Dragon Gang! Please have a seat. What would you like to eat?"
Smack!
The burly man named Stone Roll, without saying a word, slapped Boss across the face.
"Damn it, I'm here to collect protection fees. You owe ten thousand dollars from last month and haven't paid up. Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Stone Roll glared with his bulging eyes and cursed loudly.
That slap was indeed fierce; Boss's left cheek quickly swelled up, distorting his entire face.
Touching his swollen face, Boss pleaded pitifully, "Brother Shi, my mother is seriously ill in the hospital, and I've spent a lot of money. I really can't come up with it right now. Can you delay it for another two months?"
"Damn it, you still want to delay? Are you refusing to pay?"
Stone Roll raised his hand again to slap Boss, but Daoxiang Zhenyuan, who was sitting nearby, couldn't stand it any longer and shouted, "Stop!"
Stone Roll turned to look at Daoxiang Zhenyuan and sneered coldly, "Who are you to meddle in the affairs of my Tiger Dragon Gang?"
Daoxiang Zhenyuan replied with a stern expression, "I am the Governor of Yamaguchi Prefecture, named Daoxiang Zhenyuan. In broad daylight, you dare to bully people here without any regard for the law?"
"Oh, so it's the Governor. My apologies!"
Stone Roll cupped his fists and said with a forced smile, "Governor, this is our Huaxia People's own business. Aren't you meddling too much? Besides, we're collecting a little protection fee for their own good so they can avoid being bullied by outsiders. Don't you agree?"
