I formed the strongest swordsman group

"Huh?" Qing Deng couldn't help but tilted his head.

——One out of a million people may not have the talent that one person possesses... Can the talent of others be copied?

Qing Deng said this ridicule full of jokes in a tone of self-talk in his heart.

After taking a few glances at Qingtou's expression changes, Chiba Eijiro's two thick eyebrows shrugged on the raised corners of his eyes, and a relaxed smile emerged from his sharp-edged face.

"It seems that you really don't have the consciousness in this regard."

Chiba Eijiro straightened up slowly, his voice rose a little bit with the straightening of his body

"Mr. Ju, you have the character of not being afraid to fight against powerful enemies, and not being frustrated by your own weakness."

"And this... is what I just said just now that you have a talent that not even one person in a million can have."

"As early as in the previous swordsmanship competition, I discovered Ni's character."

"In the finals, who are you and that...?"

"I can't remember... Forget it, I don't want to. In short, when you confronted your opponent in the final, I clearly felt that you became more courageous as you fought."

"It was the same when you sparred with me just now."

"When you were overwhelmingly suppressed by me, you didn't show any frustration or decline, but your fighting spirit became more and more high."

"I asked you, 'Aren't you depressed after being beaten so badly by me', and you replied 'Is it something to be depressed to realize that you are weak'."

"Such a character... is an extremely precious treasure for a warrior."

"I have seen too many warriors who originally had very good talents, but because of their bad temper, they eventually disappeared from the crowd."

"Kannosuke Saito in the training hall is a good example."

When Chiba Eijiro said this, a bit of embarrassment slowly hung on his cheeks.

"Saito Kanosuke also has a very high talent for swordsmanship, but after losing to me, he fell into a slump, and until now he has not regained the spirit of the past."

"For the journey of martial arts, vigor is the most important thing."

"Except for a very small number of people who are favored by the heavens, a person who has lost his will to dare to climb the peak, no matter what, it is impossible to have any new great achievements in martial arts."

"If Saito Kanosuke can't cheer up as soon as possible, his swordsmanship may stop here forever."

After hearing the name "Kannosuke Saito" from Chiba Eijiro's mouth, Qingto couldn't help but laugh.

He felt that this buddy was really miserable, this was the second time Qingdeng had heard someone use Saito Kanosuke as a negative teaching material in martial arts teaching.

On the eve of the start of the Marquis of Aizu Swordsmanship Competition, when Zhou Zhu taught Qingdeng the knowledge about "shi", he also brought out Saito Kanosuke to "whip the corpse", and also said that Saito Kanosuke would not recover from the disastrous defeat to Chiba as soon as possible. If Eijiro walks out of the shadow, the future achievements in swordsmanship will be here, and there will be no great progress.

Qingdeng calmed down his scattered thoughts a little bit, and then carefully recalled every word and every sentence Chiba Eijiro said just now in his heart.

Not afraid to fight against powerful enemies, not to be frustrated by his own weakness... For the latter, Qingdeng is conscious of this aspect, and he has always known that he really has such a character.

For a long time, Qingdeng didn't feel that realizing that he was still weak and that he still had a lot of room for improvement was something to be frustrated, annoyed, and sad.

But regarding what Chiba Eijiro said about "not being afraid to fight a strong enemy"... If Chiba Eijiro hadn't mentioned it, Qingdeng really didn't realize that there was such a hidden side in his character.

For no reason, Qing Deng suddenly recalled the fierce battles he fought after traveling to this era.

I was very excited and excited for the new wife Kuan to show a sharp strength far beyond his imagination, and the finals of the swordsmanship competition...

When rescuing the Tibetan Book Research Office, even though the group of extortionists had far more people than theirs, he charged forward without fear...

In "Snowy Night Chaos", when facing Suehiro Moritoyo alone, the nerves and muscles of the whole body are tense, and I dare not relax a little bit. Although it is very hard work, I feel a strange and wonderful feeling of joy...

"In short." Chiba Eijiro said again at this time, "You have extraordinary talents, and you also have this extremely precious personality... Haha, I can't say what kind of realm you will grow to in the future .”

Chiba Eijiro, who did not hesitate to compliment Qingtou, smiled, and extended his hand affectionately to lightly punch Qingtou's chest.

"I'm looking forward to it."

"I hope that when I return to Edo next time, I will find that you have grown into a strong man that I must do my best to compete with."

"Don't lose your extremely precious spirit of not being afraid of strong enemies and your own weakness, work hard to improve yourself, orange green!"

...

...

At this very moment—

Little Chiba Sword Gym, Chiba Shigetaro's room——

Chiba Shigetaro, who was lying on his back on the tatami in the room, was looking at his "Handbook for Preparing a Brother-in-law" with great ambition.

After so many years, Chiba Shigetaro's "Handbook for Preparing Brother-in-law" has recorded the names of too many outstanding young people.

Nowadays, most of the names have been drawn with a big cross and a short comment that they cannot choose this person as their brother-in-law.

There are only a few names that have not yet been crossed.

Qingdeng's name was one of the few names that had not been crossed by Chiba Shigetaro.

The manual turned to the page with Qingdeng's name written on it.

Looking at the name "Ju Qingdeng" written on the paper, Chiba Shigetaro couldn't help grinning and laughing out loud.

For Qingdeng... Chiba Shigetarou, he is really more and more satisfied the more he looks at it!

After Qingdeng showed strength and talent that far exceeded his and Sanako's expectations, and won the Aizu Marquis Swordsmanship Competition not long ago, Chiba Shigetaro gave Qingdeng another high look .

To put it simply and bluntly—Chiba Shigetaro, what he thinks of Qingdeng now is pleasing to the eye.

Oh, this kind of good-looking, good-natured, tall young man with a promising future in both martial arts and officialdom is really rare and rare!

Chiba Shigetaro thought over and over again, and the only shortcoming that Qingdeng could think of that made him feel dissatisfied... Probably only Qingdeng's hair was uglier, and he didn't have a clean and neat Tsukiyo.

Compared with Qingdeng, the other "brother-in-law candidates" pale in comparison.

After smirking at Qingdeng's name recorded in the manual for a while, Chiba Shigetaro slowly suppressed the smile on his face, then frowned slightly, with a pensive expression, and muttered:

"What should I do to enhance the relationship between Tachibana-kun and Sanako..."

How to bring Qingdeng and Sanako together - Chiba Shigetaro has been thinking deeply about this issue recently.

Although Chiba Shigetaro likes Qingdeng very much, whether Qingdeng can become his brother-in-law in the end depends on whether Sanako can develop feelings for Qingdeng.

Although he was very anxious about the marriage of Sanako, who was already 22 years old and still a leftover woman, Chiba Shigetaro never thought of doing such an outrageous act of "forcing Sanako to marry so-and-so".

I can help Sanako introduce a hundred or a thousand outstanding young people, but Sanako must finally marry the man she really likes—this is the principle Chiba Shigetaro has always adhered to.

All he can do is to help his sister find a suitable partner, and then do his best to provide his sister and the man he likes with an opportunity and environment to communicate with each other and see if they are suitable for each other.

Chiba Shigetaro is very bad at matters between men and women, so Chiba Shigetaro is really worried about how to create an opportunity for Qingdeng and Sanako to communicate with each other and enhance their relationship.

If Qingdeng is a member of their Little Chiba Sword Gym, then Chiba Shigetaro can still use his power as a teacher to artificially create some opportunities for Qingdeng and Sanako to be alone.

But Qingdeng is a member of the Examination Hall... This really made Chiba Shigetaro feel a little helpless.

——Why don't you just say to Zuo Nazi directly: "I think Mr. Ju is very nice, do you want to try to socialize with him more?"

As soon as this thought came to Chiba Shigetaro's mind, Chiba Shigetaro wrinkled his face and shook his head gently.

——This seems a bit too direct...

Chiba Shigetaro was deep in thought. Suddenly, he heard a series of light footsteps coming from far and near outside the bedroom.

There are 7 people in Chiba Shigetaro's family-in addition to himself, his younger sister Sanako, his father Chiba Sadakichi and his mother, there are also three maids who are responsible for various housework.

There were only a few people in the family, and Chiba Shigetaro, who had long been able to distinguish people by their footsteps, immediately recognized that it was Sanako's footsteps!

Like a conditioned reflex, Chiba Shigetaro quickly closed the "Preparation Brother-in-law Handbook" in his hand.

He wanted to put the manual back into the cabinet, but the footsteps of Mrs. Inzo had already reached the door, so he could only hastily stuff the booklet on his back belt.

At the same moment Chiba Shigetaro stuffed the booklet into his back, he heard Sanako's voice from outside the door:

"Brother, can I come in?"

"Oh, oh, come in." Chiba Shigetaro sat up straight.

Sanako, who received Chiba Shigetaro's permission to enter, raised her plain hand and opened the paper sliding door of Chiba Shigetaro's bedroom.

Because she is staying at home, Sanako's current dress is extraordinarily simple.

Wearing an ordinary blue and white kimono, her waist-length hair, not tied into a bun, hangs down, and there are no socks on her feet, revealing her marble-smooth slender feet under the hem of the clothes.

"What's the matter?" Chiba Shigetaro directly asked Sanako the reason for his sudden visit.

Even in the face of her close brother, Sanako does not change the elegant nature of the young lady.

Folding her hands in front of her body with an extremely elegant movement, she replied lightly:

"Brother, father has something to look for you, so I want you to go to his room to look for him right now."

"Father needs me?" Chiba Shigetaro raised his eyebrows forcefully, "What's the matter?"

Zuo Nazi shook his head gently: "Father, he didn't tell me."

"That's it...well, I get it."

Chiba Shigetaro stood up suddenly, then habitually raised his hand and patted the fabric of the clothes on his buttocks.

"Then I'm going to find my father, remember to close the door of my room for me."

After leaving these words, Chiba Shigetaro rushed out of the room and turned around the corner on the right side of the corridor outside the room.

Sanako briefly glanced at Chiba Shigetaro's leaving back, then raised his hand, intending to help Chiba Shigetaro close the door of his bedroom.

But at this moment... out of the corner of Sanazi's eyes, she suddenly found a booklet with a slightly worn cover at her feet.

"This is...?" Zuo Nazi muttered softly.

If Chiba Shigetaro was here at this time, his expression would have changed drastically after seeing this booklet—this booklet...is exactly his "Handbook for Preparing Brother-in-law"!

Sanako came too suddenly, Chiba Shigetaro could only hastily pin the booklet on his back in a hurry.

Because it's a casual one, it's not very secure.

Immediately afterwards, the scene of "adding insult to injury" appeared.

Just after Chiba Shigetaro stood up and habitually patted the fabric of the clothes on his buttocks, the booklet, which was not particularly secure in the first place, was further loosened.

In the end, when Chiba Shigetaro went to look for Chiba Singkichi, and Sanako who was standing at the door passed by, the booklet slipped lightly from his waist and fell at Sanako's feet. And Chiba Shigetaro didn't realize it at all...

It must belong to my brother... Thinking so, Sanako put one hand on the hem of the kimono, squatted down, and was about to pick up the booklet and put it back on the desk in Chiba Shigetaro's bedroom.

But at this moment - a breeze blows.

A gust of soothing breeze poured into the room along the open window in Chiba Shigetaro's bedroom.

The booklet was blown by the breeze, and the pages of the book were flipped.

When the wind stops, the book stops.

The booklet that was blown open by the wind stopped on a certain page.

And the page that stopped... was the page with Qingdeng's name written on it.

Sanako squatted down, and Su Hand, who was about to pick up the booklet, stopped instantly.

...

...

"Father's memory is really getting worse..." Chiba Shigetaro, who was walking back to his bedroom, sighed heavily while grabbing his hair vigorously.

The reason why Qianye Dingji suddenly called him over was just to ask him: Why hasn't he returned the account books of their Little Chiba Sword Hall.

After hearing the question raised by Chiba Sakakichi, Chiba Shigetaro felt both puzzled and aggrieved: Didn't I return it to you long ago?

Because he wanted to see the recent operation of Little Chiba Sword Gym with his own eyes, Chiba Shigetaro borrowed the account book seven days ago, and then returned it to Chiba Singkichi only two days later.

Therefore, facing Chiba Sakakichi's sudden questioning, Chiba Shigetaro was in a daze.

Chiba Dingkichi shouted: "Really? So you have returned the account book to me?"

Chiba Shigetaro: "Yes! Father, look around in your room! I have definitely returned the account book to you!"

After a lot of tossing, the father and son finally found the account book in the closet of Chiba Dingji's bedroom.

This seems to be a very common and trivial matter.

But Chiba Shigetaro was quite worried about this... Chiba Sakakichi's memory has been getting worse recently.

Often what was said or done yesterday is forgotten today.

Seeing his father getting older... Chiba Shigetaro couldn't help but feel very sad.

The great swordsman who used to be majestic and carried forward Beichen's sword style with his elder brother Chiba Shuzuo is finally getting old...

With mixed feelings in his heart, Chiba Shigetaro returned to his bedroom.

As soon as he came back, Chiba Shigetaro was stunned - the door of his bedroom was open.

Didn't Sanako help me close the door of my room... With such doubts in mind, Chiba Shigetaro quickened his pace a little.

When he came to the door of the room and looked into the room, Chiba Shigetaro was instantly petrified by the scene in the room.

In the room, Sanako was sitting decently on a certain tatami mat in an extremely standard sitting posture, with her small and rosy feet buried under her sensual peach-shaped buttocks.

With her elegant swan neck held high, she lowered her gaze slightly, looking at a booklet she was holding with both hands.

When he saw the booklet in Sanako's hand, Chiba Shigetaro was stunned for a moment, then quickly stretched out his hand to touch the back of his waist, but it was empty...

"...Brother, you are back." Sanako turned her head and looked at Chiba Shigetaro.

The eyes are flat, neither sad nor happy.

Chiba Shigetaro subconsciously looked away from Sanako.

be silent... be silent...

After the awkward atmosphere lingered in the air for a while, Chiba Shigetaro laughed a few times, then sighed silently, strode into the room and closed the door behind him.

"Sanako." Chiba Shigetaro knelt and sat opposite Sanako, "Why is this book in your hand?"

"I just picked it up at the door of your room." Sanako said lightly while flipping through the "Handbook for Preparing Brother-in-law" page by page.

Swish... Sanako turned to the first page of the brochure.

The first page of the brochure... is the same as the page with Qingdeng's name on it, only one person's name is written on it.

Ryoma Sakamoto.

This person's name, like most of the names in this booklet, has a huge "cross" drawn on it.

But compared with other names with "crosses" drawn, this name is a little unique: there is no "comment" written below it.

Looking at the name on the first page of the brochure, Sanako's beautiful eyes slightly closed.

After taking a deep look at the name on the first page of the booklet, Sanako closed and handed the booklet.

"Brother, give it back to you."

"Sorry, I read your stuff without your permission."

"When I saw this book dropped at the door of your room, I wanted to help you put this book on the desk in your room, but a gust of wind just happened to blow the book open, allowing me to see the contents inside. content."

"I couldn't hold back for a while, and I flipped through this book without your permission."

Chiba Shigetarou took the booklet that Sanako handed back with hesitation.

Sanako's reaction...was much more flat than he had imagined.

As long as you are not an idiot, after reading what is written in this booklet, you can understand what this booklet is for.

He originally thought that Sanazi, who had a strong temper and had repeatedly told him "don't worry about her marriage", would feel displeased even if she wasn't angry after reading this booklet...

Chiba Shigetaro's eyes wandered back and forth between the booklet he received and Sanako's pretty face.

"... Sanako." Chiba Shigetaro took a deep breath and asked hesitantly, "Aren't you... not angry?"

"There's nothing to be angry about." Sanako said expressionlessly, "I'm not the kind of little girl who would get angry because of such things."

"My only feeling right now...is that you are wasting your time doing this kind of thing, brother."

"Brother, don't do such a meaningless thing again."

"I appreciate your kindness, but I really don't need you to do this kind of thing for me again."

A senseless act... Hearing this word from Sanako, Chiba Shigetaro couldn't help but twitch his eyes.

Anyway, this booklet was also seen by Sanako... Chiba Shigetaro felt a sense of "breaking the pot and smashing it".

"Sanako." Chiba Shigetaro straightened his back and raised his voice, "You really don't want to marry and live alone forever, do you?"

Chiba Shigetaro opened the booklet in his hand, turned to the first page, and turned to the page with the name "Sakamoto Ryoma".

Seeing this name, Chiba Shigetaro's expression became weird uncontrollably.

"Or...are you still thinking about this Sakamoto Ryoma?"

Sanako, who had been pointing at Gu Congrong all the time, heard Chiba Shigetaro's last rhetorical question, her eyes, which were originally as sad and joyless as icebergs, were shaken faintly.

"Sanako, don't blame me for speaking directly."

"Three years ago, when Sakamoto Ryoma left our Little Chiba Sword Gym and returned to his hometown, he had already told you clearly? He has no feelings for you at all, and has always regarded you as an ordinary friend. .”

"It's been 3 years, it's been such a long time, should we let go of the past and look forward?"

"In this world... no, let alone this world! Just in the corner of Edo, there is no shortage of young people who are as good as Sakamoto Ryoma, or even better than Sakamoto Ryoma."

"For example, Mr. Orange."

Chiba Shigetaro flicked through the pages of the book until he reached the page with Qingdeng's name written on it.

"Sanako, don't you think Tachibana-kun is pretty good?"

"He looks good and has a good personality. Although he is very busy, he has a decent official status and income. He is currently rising in the officialdom and has a bright future."

"Besides, he also has outstanding swordsmanship ability, which is a perfect match for our Qianye family. As long as he can persevere in honing his sword skills, he will definitely have great achievements in the way of swordsmanship in the future."

"Also, he's tall."

"Sanako, you are already taller. Tachibana-kun is just a head taller than you. There will be no embarrassing situation like 'men are shorter than women'."

Chiba Shigetaro wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Sanako.

"Okay, brother, don't talk anymore."

Sanako lowered her eyelids, parted her red lips slightly, and let out a silent sigh.

Immediately afterwards, she raised her head and gaze, and showed her brother a plain smile as if she had seen through the past.

"I won't like Mr. Ju."

"So, you don't need to talk so much about Mr. Ju or anyone else."

Chiba Shigetaro's expression changed slightly, and he asked anxiously, "Why? Are you...not interested in Tachibana-kun?"

"To be more precise, I'm not interested in matters between men and women at all." Sanako raised his voice slightly, "Let me answer your question just now, brother."

"I don't like anyone right now, including Sakamoto-kun."

"A long time ago, I didn't have such strong feelings for Sakamoto-kun who clearly rejected me and said to me such ugly words as 'bringing me will only get in the way'."

"If it was a few years ago, I might still be more concerned about my future marriage."

"But it's not like it used to be."

"I have already passed my prime, and I am no longer a little girl who longs for things between men and women."

"I just want to concentrate on honing my martial arts right now, and to help my father and brother run the Little Chiba Sword Gym. I have nothing else to think about."
