CHAPTER 723: CHAPTER 721, HURRY AND APOLOGIZE

Jingyu Huatian didn’t understand what Xu Wendong meant, but he still pressed the answer key and respectfully said, "What are your orders, Mr. Inagawa?"

Inagawa Tsugichi, the current leader of the Inagawa Sect.

"Bastard, what are you doing now? Do you know what kind of terrifying existence you’ve offended?" An angry roar came through the phone.

Hearing Inagawa Tsugichi’s roar, Jingyu Huatian felt a sudden tremor in his heart, his scalp tingling, and a chill running down his spine.

After all, for the leader to take such notice, the other party was definitely not a small figure.

"Jingyu Huatian, if you want to die, I won’t stop you, but don’t drag my Inagawa Sect into it," Inagawa Tsugichi roared, "Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Yanagida, or just wait for death!"

Inagawa Tsugichi also didn’t know who Jingyu Huatian had offended, but earlier, he had first received a call from the Yamato Kendo Hall, and then another from the Iga Clan.

The content of the calls was simple, asking him to manage his subordinates well, or the Inagawa Sect would be wiped out.

Although the Inagawa Sect was the second-largest gang in Wa Country, in front of the Yamato Kendo Hall, they were nothing but a bunch of ants, let alone the Iga Clan.

He understood well the power these two families possessed, with just a word they could obliterate the Inagawa Sect in an instant.

Listening to the beeping sound on the phone.

Jingyu Huatian’s phone fell to the ground, the screen shattering to pieces. Only then did he realize he had made an unforgivable mistake.

Originally, he had a chance to remedy it, but that chance had been missed by him.

After coming back to his senses, he nervously looked at Xu Wendong, bowing in terror, "Mr. Yanagida, please, I beg your forgiveness, don’t stoop to the level of such a fool like me."

Perhaps thinking of something, he suddenly knelt on the ground, bowing his head in a posture of repentance.

This scene amazed the members of the Inagawa Sect outside the door, none of them expecting their boss to be so humble.

"Get out and don’t bother Miss Yui anymore," Xu Wendong didn’t want to concern himself with an extra.

"Yes, yes, thank you, Mr. Yanagida, for your kindness. I promise I will never disturb Miss Yui again," Jingyu Huatian said tearfully, then rolled his way out of the ramen shop.

"Thank you, Mr. Yanagida, but..." Ohashi Yui had a complex expression on her face. She very much wanted her ramen shop to continue operating, even if it meant paying protection fees every year.

But now, she was about to be devoured by the Eight-Forked Serpent, even though Jingyu Huatian promised not to trouble her anymore, but would there even be a future for her?

"Miss Yui, how about we go out and relax a bit?" Xu Wendong didn’t know what Ohashi Yui was going through, but he could sense her mood was very bad today.

"Alright!" Ohashi Yui showed two shallow dimples on her face; she still had some unfulfilled wishes, and she planned to achieve them one by one while she was alive.

After leaving the ramen shop, she drove to a flower shop, bought two exquisite bouquets of chrysanthemums, then drove with Xu Wendong towards the Ohashi Family.

Meanwhile, Xu Wendong also learned about Ohashi Yui’s past, her father being the eldest son of the Ohashi Family, who, before inheriting the family, was undergoing training outside as an ordinary person—a task every heir of the Ohashi Family had to complete.

It was then that her father met her mother, and mutual affection led them together, eventually giving birth to Ohashi Yui.

But when Ohashi Yui was born, her mother died during a difficult childbirth.

At that point, her father also returned to the family. Ohashi Yui, although she returned to the family with her father, did not receive recognition from the family and lived within it as an adopted child.

Not only that, but even Ohashi Yui’s mother was unable to enter the Ohashi Family’s ancestral hall until her father, on his deathbed, expressed his wish to be buried with his beloved. Only then did the Ohashi Family reluctantly agree to let her mother enter the family’s ancestral hall.

And Ohashi Yui moved out of the family at the age of twelve, learning culinary skills at a restaurant, and only in recent years did she open a noodle shop of her own.

Even so, she still regularly returned home to pay respects to her father and mother.

However.

Every time she returned, she was not well-received.

This time was no different. When the Ohashi Family’s butler learned that Ohashi Yui intended to return home for a memorial visit, he expressed great impatience, showing no good face at all.

But after all, it was to pay respects to the great elder, so he had no choice but to let her pass.

Xu Wendong followed Ohashi Yui into the Ohashi Family, and after arriving outside the ancestral hall, he chose not to enter and waited outside instead.

After waiting for about three minutes, an old man with dignified features, dressed in a black kimono, walked over expressionlessly.

His gaze was indifferent, giving off an aura of arrogance and untouchability.

"This is a master!"

Xu Wendong slightly narrowed his eyes. During his time in Wa Country, he had met many masters, and the person before him definitely ranked as the strongest.

Especially the aura he emitted subconsciously, which was much stronger than that of Tokugawa Chiharu.

He had a hunch that even if Tokugawa Chiharu encountered this old man, he’d definitely be defeated within ten moves.

But it was only limited to that.

No matter how strong he was, with Xu Wendong’s current ability, he could still take him down in one move.

"This old fellow should be the State Preceptor of the Wa Country’s Imperial Family!" thought Xu Wendong silently, but when the old man looked over, he slightly bowed and greeted him.

There was no other way; after all, this was inside the Ohashi Family, and as an outsider, it was appropriate to do so.

The old man gave Xu Wendong a blank stare, without any response, and then entered the ancestral hall. He looked at Ohashi Yui, who was kneeling on the floor, and softly asked, "Why did you suddenly return? Are things not going well at work?"

Faced with the sudden concern, Ohashi Yui felt caught off guard. Raised in the Ohashi Family, the grandfatherly figure before her had always disliked her, even when she gave him her favorite candy in childhood; he had impatiently accepted it and tossed it into the trash.

Since then, she had been very afraid of him.

But who could have guessed that he would show such concern for her now?

Could it be that he felt she was on the verge of death?

A warmth rose within Ohashi Yui, her voice choking, "It’s nothing, just missing father and mother."

Ohashi Yasuo looked at the memorial tablets before him and let out a light sigh, "Yui, the Ohashi Family wronged you. Years ago, we neglected you; thinking back now, that was our fault. We shouldn’t have treated you like that."

Tears immediately burst from Ohashi Yui’s eyes. Despite all the grievances she had suffered, hearing such words from her grandfather before her death made her have no regrets.

At that moment, Ohashi Yasuo’s voice spoke again, "To make up for what you lost, I plan to arrange a marriage for you with Taihang Zheya."
