I formed the strongest swordsman group

"What...! Grandma, grandma! What are you asking?!" Before Qingden could respond, Kinoshita Mai was furious.

Her face suddenly turned red, as if all the blood in her body was concentrated in her cheeks, and there seemed to be translucent steam floating out of the top of her head.

Directly asking "Have you ever done this?" This was indeed a very bold question in the Edo period.

As soon as Kinoshita Rin finished asking, Ayoto the backfoot answered hurriedly:

"No! Not at all!"

"..."

Kinoshita Rin said nothing.

She lowered her eyelids - her sharp gaze and heavy pressure fell on Qingden's shoulders.

Her gaze was like a hook, as if she would not stop until she hooked out Qingdeng's soul.

Although he felt a lot of pressure, Qingdeng did not shrink back.

He held his chest high, tried his best to put on a natural expression, and silently endured Kinoshita Rin's gaze, looking "undaunted in the face of danger."

In fact, he did not lie, so there was no need for him to feel guilty.

So far, he and Kinoshita Mai have not gone to Wushan together.

Probably because she had been warned by her grandmother, Kinoshita Mai always adhered to the bottom line of "this is something that can only be done after marriage."

It's just that... Qingdeng's answer took advantage of a loophole.

It is true that he and Kinoshita Mai have never crossed the final line.

But...they have done everything else!

Hugs, kisses...these are just the most basic and least worth mentioning operations.

In a word - they had a blast!

Qingden felt... No! He dares to be sure! If the "private communication" between him and Kinoshita Mai were told in detail, there would be extremely serious consequences...

So, he wisely chose to play dumb - I will answer whatever you ask; if you don't ask, I won't tell.

"...It seems like you didn't lie."

As soon as she finished speaking, Kinoshita Rin's conversation suddenly changed.

"However, you seem to be hiding something."

Suddenly, a few drops of cold sweat seeped out from Qingdeng's forehead...

Fortunately, the other party did not pursue the question further. Instead, he changed his tone and started another topic:

"...I don't intend to dictate A Wu's marriage."

"I'm not like the guy who treats his children as tools."

"First of all, I am not so destitute that I need to rely on 'adopted children' or 'marriage with others' to maintain my livelihood and power."

"Secondly, for some reasons, I really don't like the behavior of 'kidnapping children' and 'imposing one's will on children.'"

She paused, then turned to Qingdeng and asked:

"Boy, did Ah Wu ever tell you how she was adopted by me?"

Qingdeng was stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied:

"I know a little bit. But she rarely talks about it in detail, so I don't know much."

Kinoshita Rin nodded lightly.

"Then, I will take this opportunity today to talk to you carefully."

She was silent for a moment, trying to formulate her words.

When she spoke again, a look of reminiscence appeared on her cheeks.

“It sounds like I’m boasting, but I’m a very passionate person about my work.”

“When I was just a teenager, I was running around building this Calabash House from scratch and trying to make it big.”

"The reason for this is not to make a lot of money, nor to become a great person."

“I just enjoy the feeling of ‘challenging myself’.”

“And just like that, I just kept working, working, working.”

"When I came to my senses, I was already my second child."
