Chapter 276 The Heavenly Lord's Envoy Demands Old Items
"Actually, when my grandfather was young, he repeatedly suggested to my great-grandfather that he should revive [Ikshin-den]. However, my great-grandfather scolded him for overestimating his abilities. Yesterday, that old servant also said that my great-grandfather even went to the village headman and asked him to show my grandfather the blueprint and have his men forge the sword."
"Without a doubt, after hundreds and thousands of attempts, my grandfather, unwilling to accept defeat, failed thousands of times. So my great-grandfather said: 'If you can't find the secret, you deserve to disappear from the world.'"
"After hearing these words, Grandpa left Inazuma in a fit of anger, and as a result, he didn't even get to see his great-grandfather one last time... Now it seems that the argument between the father and son was completely meaningless."
After saying all this, Wan Ye helplessly shrugged.
"Wanyu..."
After hearing his worries, everyone present lowered their heads in regret.
Just as the scene fell into a heavy silence, Abedo's voice broke it all.
"Manyo, what your great-grandfather said back then, was it really [that you can't find the secret behind it]?"
Upon hearing his question, Wan Ye seemed to understand something and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, the old servant said that he heard these words with his own ears and remembered them very clearly."
"Manyo, if your great-grandfather's mission was to pass on his skills without mastering them, then after seeing his son fail, he would only say things like 'You're not capable enough,' right?"
"...Ah! You mean...?!"
Abedo's words were like a wake-up call, instantly enlightening Manyo, who was only half-understanding.
"So you mean... my great-grandfather might have known all along that the failure was because someone was sabotaging it?"
"Based on the evidence we have so far, this is highly likely!"
Barbatos, who had been listening in and drinking nearby, chuckled and expressed his agreement.
After a moment of thought, Wan Ye gathered his thoughts and then made a suggestion.
"I wonder if any of you would be willing to accompany me to the Tenryo Magistrate's Office. Our family's last remaining old house was confiscated by the Tenryo Magistrate's Office because of me, which is why I've been wandering around. Now that the warrant for my arrest is over, and I've returned to Inazuma, I should go and get it back. The old house contains all of my family's old belongings; there should be some clues there."
"Then let's set off right away."
As Xingqiu spoke, he excitedly clenched his fist.
It's as if he can't wait to learn from the protagonist in a martial arts novel, who, after being persecuted by a villain, gradually approaches to search for clues and defeat the villain!
Although it's only just begun, it's already exciting to think about.
……
The scene changes.
Inazuma, may Heaven grant your command.
At this moment, Kujo Sara was standing on the outskirts of the training ground, arms crossed, seriously observing the martial arts movements of each soldier.
Seeing that Kujo Sara was focusing her gaze on the training ground, Mango quietly walked to her side and then whispered tentatively.
"Hello, I am Maple Leaf Manba from the Maple Leaf family. I wonder if you still remember me."
"Oh? I remember you. You caused a ruckus at Tenshukaku because you were unhappy with the charges the authorities had leveled against the Maple Leaf family, and were eventually wanted. But now, Lord Raijin has already removed the warrant. With so many of you here, has something happened at the Five Song Immortals Plaza?"
After saying that, Kujo Sara even filled in the scene of the riot in her mind.
