C386 Two Families in the past
Helpless, Duan Tianya struck out with his sword. This attack was extremely exquisite. It blocked the long blade of the masked warrior and went straight for Muto Hidetoshi's throat.
Muto Hidetoshi raised his long blade to block the attack. He felt that his arm was numb and he could not help but take a few steps back. Duan Tianya jumped up high again and thrust his sword. Muto Hidetoshi could not dodge this attack in time. Just as he was thinking about how to deal with it, Duan Tianya tapped his shoulder with the tip of his foot and jumped to the roof next to him. He turned around and disappeared without a trace.
Dozens of masked warriors wanted to chase after him, but were stopped by Muto Hidetoshi. He looked in the direction where Duan Tianya fled. The arrogance in his eyes was no longer there. He watched for a long time before he left with the other masked warriors.
Duan Tianya returned to the Shenzong family. When he entered the house, he found Shenzong Ze and Shenzong Xin had been waiting for him for a long time. Little Zhuge, on the other hand, was carefully savoring the wine.
"You went to the Muto family?" Shenzong Xin asked. Obviously, he wasn't surprised by Duan Tianya's visit to the Muto family.
Duan Tianya smiled but did not say anything. He took off his heavy robe and added some charcoal to the brazier in the room.
Shenzong Ze looked a little serious and said, "Muto Hidetoshi did not make things difficult for you?"
Duan Tianya smiled and said, "Why are you not worried that the Muto family brothers will make things difficult for me?"
Shenzong Ze said, "Actually, I am quite familiar with those two brothers. "
Duan Tianya nodded and said, "I know!"
Shenzong Ze said in surprise. "You know?"
Duan Tianya said, "Muto Ichiro told me personally. "
Shenzong Ze asked, "What else did he say?"
Duan Tianya said, "It can be seen that the conflict between the two families is not only limited to this. "
Shenzong Ze asked, "What else did he tell you?"
Duan Tianya smiled and said, "He also told me that he was Huizi's husband who married her. "
Before Shenzong Ze and Shenzong Xin could speak, Little Zhuge, who was standing at the side, laughed bitterly. "It seems that this Muto Ichiro is the same as me. Both of us share the same fate. "
Duan Tianya said, "But Muto Ichiro said that he already has someone in mind. "
Who knew that when these words came out, Shenzong Ze only heard a soft sigh as he said, "Using the Central Plains. In short, fate is playing tricks on us!"
"Good fortune makes fools of people?" Duan Tianya and Little Zhuge were very concerned about this. They knew that there must be a secret side to this. After a long time, Shenzong Ze glanced at Shenzong Xin, while Shenzong Xin lowered his head and said nothing.
It seemed like everything in the room had been frozen. The four of them just sat there motionlessly. After a long time, Shenzong Ze finally spoke. "The two of you must want to know the ins and outs of this matter?"
Little Zhuge and Duan Tianya looked at each other and said in unison, "I would like to hear the details. "
Shenzong Ze let out a long sigh of relief. Then, he told them everything that happened in the past word by word.
It turned out that the Divine Sect was the head of the three great families of the East Ocean Continent, and they enjoyed a great reputation in the East Ocean Continent. At that time, Shenzong Ze's father, Divine Sect Jiu Jin, was even more famous in the East Ocean Continent.
Compared to Divine Sect Jiu Jin's reputation, Muto Hidetoshi was much weaker. Although he was from the same sect as Divine Sect Jiu Jin, and both of them were from Gu Hai's faction, because Muto Hidetoshi was still young when he joined the sect, his martial arts cultivation and talent were also quite different.
Many years later, Gu Hai's faction gradually declined. The disciples of the sect also dispersed. The Divine Sect's Jiu Jin returned to his hometown and became the Divine Sect's glory. As for Muto Hidetoshi, he lost to another expert from the East Ocean, so he could only endure in this world and wait for an opportunity.
For the sake of the prosperity of his family, the Divine Sect's Jiu Jin wanted to use the method of marriage to rope in the Wuteng Clan, and thus had Muto Ichiro and Huizi's marriage.
Later on, Shenzong Ze and his brother grew up, and their martial arts spread throughout the East Ocean. Muto Ichiro also became one of the best in that generation.
Who would have thought that when the two families were discussing marriage, Muto Ichiro would destroy the marriage, causing the Divine Sect's Jiu Jin to fly into a rage. When Muto Ichiro mentioned the person he loved, it caused the two families to punish him verbally. Helplessly, Muto Ichiro had left his hometown and had not returned to his hometown for many years.
Speaking up to this point, Shenzong Ze did not say who the girl Muto Ichiro loved was. Duan Tianya and Little Zhuge also did not ask. Both of them were smart people, so they would naturally ask questions that they should not ask. They would definitely not mention anything that they should not ask.
Shenzong Ze let out a long sigh. It seemed like the grudge between the two families was an unsolvable knot.
Duan Tianya found a jar of wine and placed four bowls on the table. He filled them up one by one. He handed one bowl to Shenzong Xin and another to Shenzong Ze. He said, "You don't seem to want to participate in the fight between the two families. " Then he stopped and said, "Except for that Muto Hidetoshi. "
Shenzong Ze took the wine and drank it in one gulp. "You are right. We don't want to participate in the fight between the families, but even though my father passed away, we still have to shoulder the responsibility of the family's prosperity and death. This is the responsibility. We can't avoid it, nor can we get rid of it. " His eyes were filled with helplessness and sadness.
Little Zhuge stopped the wine bowl in the air and said, "This is also the reason why the two families are unwilling to fight to the death. "
Shenzong Ze sighed and said, "There are some things that we have to face sooner or later. "
Duan Tianya seemed to have understood some details and said, "I think the final problem lies with Muto Hidetoshi. "
The Divine Sect said confidently, "What you said is correct. Back then, Muto Hidetoshi was ridiculed by his father. He had been putting in a lot of effort to bear this grudge. "
Duan Tianya said, "Could it be that there's no way to resolve this?"
Shenzong Ze shook his head and said, "If there is, why should we cause such a ruckus?"
Duan Tianya said, "I really want to know which family this Muto Ichiro is interested in. "
Shenzong Ze was deep in thought and did not say anything else. Shenzong Xin also did not say anything. Duan Tianya spread out his hands and said, "If that's the case, there's nothing we can do. "
Hearing this, Shenzong Ze's eyes lit up. "You have a way?"
Duan Tianya said, "The woman Muto Ichiro likes is very important. "
Shenzong Ze was stunned and said, "It is really hard to say. "
Duan Tianya answered and did not say anything. After a while, Shenzong Ze asked, "Do you really have a good plan to solve the conflict between the two families?"
Duan Tianya looked at Little Zhuge, and Little Zhuge also smiled at him.
Shenzong Ze hesitated for a long time and then said, "That girl is called Namiki Reiko. She is a beautiful woman. " When he said this name, Shenzong Ze's eyes were a little misty.
Duan Tianya saw this and asked, "What is the relationship between this woman and the two families?"
Shenzong Ze's expression was conflicted. His Adam's apple moved a few times and squeezed out a few words from the gaps of his teeth. He said, "Namiki Reiko is my mother. "
Hearing this, Duan Tianya and Little Zhuge were both dumbfounded. They did not know what to say for a moment.
