Great Swordsman Ke Xue

"Ms. Ikebo, do you have anything else to say now?"

Coming out of Master Isshin's courtyard and walking on the road, Shizuo Koji asked Hattori Shizuka.

Hattori Shizuka no longer had the same attitude as before, and her eyes looking at Shizuo Koji had more complicated meanings, well, probably a bit like envy and jealousy, and at the same time a bit of a feeling of looking at a fool.

However, in the face of Shizuo Koji's question, she still answered very sincerely: "Since Master Isshin has affirmed your character, then I have nothing to say. It's not a big mistake for a man to be fickle. I just hope you don't disappoint Heye's feelings."

Although Hattori Shizuka is not Heye's mother, or even a blood relative, these words coming out of her mouth are very natural.

"Of course."

Kouji Shimizu nodded, then looked ahead and asked, "Ms. Ikebo, why don't we separate here? I still have some things to do."

Shizuka Hattori looked at Koji Shimizu in confusion. Although she was curious, she didn't ask, "Okay."

There was a fork in the road ahead. The road on the left led to the gate of the guesthouse, and the road on the right led to the main venue.

Kouji Shimizu and Shizuka Hattori both thought that the other would take the road on the left. It was not until the two of them stepped on the road on the right side by side that they stopped at the same time and looked back at each other in confusion.

"Ms. Ikebo, are you also going to participate in this exchange meeting?"

"You too?"

Shizuka Ikebo actually didn't plan to participate, but just now on the road, she suddenly remembered that the essence of this exchange meeting was actually a trading conference, and at the conference she had attended more than ten years ago, there was a precious treasure that could heal and eradicate the body's hidden injuries and enhance vitality. She changed her mind.

Although she knew that whether such a treasure appeared at the conference or she could finally get the treasure in the bidding, it was a slim chance, but she still wanted to give it a try.

Seeing that Shimizu Koji was also planning to participate, Shizuka Hattori frowned slightly in confusion. She didn't want Shimizu Koji to know what she was doing, because even if there was only a slight possibility, she didn't want to expose her son's secret.

She seemed to have returned to the noble and elegant Mrs. Hattori in the afternoon. When she frowned, she had a coldness that kept people away from her. Although it verified Shimizu Koji's character, it did not mean that Shizuka Hattori and Shimizu Koji had any special development.

If it weren't for the fact that the slender jade hand of this noble lady had pinched his thigh more than ten minutes ago, Shimizu Koji would not dare to say that he knew Shizuka Hattori.

"Let's go together." Shizuka Hattori suggested.

Shizuka Hattori thought about it and couldn't refuse, so she could only agree.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening. The moonlight was like water, pouring into the courtyard. The shadows of bamboos were swaying, and the footsteps on the stone road became the only sound in the courtyard at this moment.

They were the two last people to arrive at the meeting. The meeting had officially started five minutes ago, but the exchange meeting did not have any strict restrictions on latecomers, so after verifying their identities, the two of them walked into the hall with their respective invitations to the meeting.

Of course, the one that Shimizu Koji had was given by Master Isshin, otherwise he would probably have been stopped outside. Hattori Shizuka was a little surprised by this. She was of course curious about what Shimizu Koji and Master Isshin talked about, but of course she would not take the initiative to ask about such things.

The hall was as luxurious and grand as last time, and the scene was also very luxuriously decorated. Whether it was food or decoration, it seemed that these so-called practitioners were just ordinary people who were a little stronger than ordinary people.

It was hard for Shimizu Koji to say whether he was disappointed or not. He wanted to see some extraordinary practitioners, but on the other hand, he didn't want these practitioners to be too powerful.

But overall, he was definitely disappointed, because the conference venue looked disorderly, and the so-called practitioners were like ordinary people, gathering in groups of three or five to communicate.

That's it?

But what Shimizu Koji was concerned about was that after entering the hall, the mood of Hattori Shizuka next to him began to become obviously a little wrong.

Hattori Shizuka first glanced at the surging crowd, then turned her head to look at him, with a somewhat tangled and cautious look.

Hattori Shizuka now wanted to get rid of the burden of Shimizu Koji, but she couldn't find a suitable reason.

On the contrary, because she had a little understanding of Shimizu Koji along the way, she knew that if she spoke casually, it might have a counterproductive effect.

Shizuka Hattori was a little unsure about Kōji Shimizu's character, just like she was actually a little unsure about her relationship with Kōji Shimizu. From the moment they showed their cards, Shizuka Hattori didn't feel Kōji Shimizu's respect for her as an elder, especially when Kōji Shimizu pinched her thigh just now.

It's a bit like, a friend, or to be more precise, a bad friend?

Shizuka Hattori didn't think so much. Although she didn't treat Kōji Shimizu as a child, she didn't treat him as a friend either.

"Kōji-kun, if you plan to take a look here, I won't accompany you."

"Oh? I plan to take a look, but I mainly want to see the internal trading meeting. I heard that there will be spiritual food that is very helpful for practice this time. Is it over there? Ms. Ikebo, are you going there too?"

Kouji Shimizu pointed at the crowd gathered over there, but Shizuka Hattori was a little distracted by his casual words.

Spirit, spiritual food? !

Although Shizuka Hattori had not participated in this kind of exchange meeting for many years, she knew very well that the treasures with special effects she had seen before had a unified name, which was "spiritual food".

"Ms. Ikebo?"

Kouji Shimizu stretched out his hand and shook it, and Shizuka Hattori quickly came back to her senses. Her face was very calm, as if nothing had happened. But if you look closely, you will find that her eyes are very subtle and changeable.

"There will be spiritual food this time? Is this what Master Yixin told you just now?"

"Well, yes, why, Ms. Ikebo is also interested?"

"Of course I am interested."

Shizuka Hattori smiled awkwardly but politely. She didn't say anything more, but turned and walked towards the crowd. Koji Shimizu followed her side, and he was also a little curious.

Hattori Shizuka looked a little strange, but he didn't have any bad habit of prying into other people's secrets. They were just passing by anyway.
