While Ivan was pondering whether he should do some psychological counseling, Violet Orchid had already arranged for the troops to be deployed.

Compared to Ivan's family, Violet Orchid's men were naturally very well-rounded, and there were not so many restrictions on their choices. However, Violet Orchid chose the few people Ivan had just mentioned to be deployed.

Ivan was stunned for a moment. Although he felt that there was nothing wrong with his arrangement, there was still a limit to the number of people, and there was also the problem of the swords' mentality, so it was not a foolproof arrangement.

However, when Ivan saw that they were fully armed, he realized that there was a very obvious difference in quality between the swords of Ivan's family and the swords of his own family.

Their aura was sharp, their backs were straight, and there was no trace of hesitation or weakness in their eyes.

Ivan could not help but be speechless. These swords could be said to be the elites of the elites. Any one of them could challenge Motomaru's sword.

Suddenly, Ivan had a bold idea.

"Violet Orchid, can you bring my family's Mamoru Yamato along?"

Violet Orchid understood Ivan's idea and muttered, "Ikedaya is too dangerous. Even if he is my subordinate, I can't guarantee his safety one hundred percent. What if …"

Under the suppression of absolute power, one blow would probably cause serious injury, and the sword might even be broken.

However, Ivan's expression looked as if he had a countermeasure. Violet Orchid's slightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed. "Do you have a countermeasure?"

"Of course. Don't look at me like this, I'm still very protective of my own people."

Although the position of valet was rotated according to the saber tent, Hasebe was usually by his side to assist him due to Hasebe's outstanding administrative skills.

The Shiguan Family was no exception. Almost all of the work-related counseling fell on the Hasegawa Tribe. This seemed to be the nature of the Hasegawa Tribe. Yi Fan felt that if it wasn't for the Hasegawa Tribe …

Slay through?

"Hasebe, go get Mamoru Yamato."

"Master, Mamoru Yamato and Jiazhou went out today."

Ivan frowned when he heard that. The relationship between the two of them had been too close recently. Not only were they in and out of the same room, he could even tolerate it. What he couldn't tolerate was that the two of them, who were talking and laughing, acted like frightened chicks when they saw him.

Recently, he had been following Qing Guang out every day.

Suddenly, he felt very unhappy. Ivan clicked his tongue and said, "Call him back."

Hasebe nodded. "Only Mamoru Yamato?"

"Ah, aren't Qing Guang and the others still on a mission?" Thinking about where they would be sent out today, Yi Fan added, "Let Ming Hu replace him."

Hasebe was indeed efficient. Soon, he came back with Mamoru Yamato, who looked puzzled and was panting.

"Master?"

Yamato Moriyasu steadied his breathing. He was a little confused when he was suddenly teleported back. Hasebe had dragged him all the way here. He didn't even have the time to ask what happened.

Ivan explained the reason briefly. Mamoru Yamato's eyes widened. Ivan caught the hesitation in Mamoru Yamato's eyes.

"You only have one mission, and that is to follow the troops and protect yourself."

Training his state of mind and gaining experience was enough. With the big boss of the Violet Orchid Family around, he could rest assured. If Mamoru Yamato couldn't control himself, the Violet Orchid Family would be able to subdue him in minutes.

Everything happened so suddenly that Yamato Moriyasu was completely unprepared. Before he could react, Ivan stuffed him with a lot of Holy Water, equipped him with Jindan and Imperial Guard and threw him into the battlefield.

Mamoru Yamato didn't react until he was pushed away by Qing Guang from the Violet Orchid Family to avoid the enemy's attack.

What was his master thinking all day long? How could he throw a newbie into a place full of big bosses? Wasn't that murder?

At that moment, Mamoru Yamato even forgot about Oki-kun. His mind was filled with Ivan's smirk.

Qing Guang was very worried since it was the first time he was summoned back. Ming Hu, who came as a substitute, didn't seem to know either. He only said that Hasebe had a serious expression, as if something big had happened.

He quickly completed the mission and returned to Honmaru. The first thing he did was to rush to Ivan's place. However, he saw the two of them leisurely drinking tea and chatting with Violet Orchid.

"Qing Guang, it's rude to come in without knocking.

This isn't your home. "

"Uh, sorry … but … An Ding …?"

Qing Guang couldn't see Mamoru Yamato anywhere. He also couldn't feel Yamato Moriyasu's Reiki.

Ivan was unhappy. He snorted and turned his head away from Qing Guang.

Sensing his master's displeasure, Qing Guang's heart skipped a beat. He panicked and didn't know what to do.

It was Violet Orchid who explained the situation to Qing Guang.

Qing Guang didn't know what to do. What did his master mean?

Wasn't he sending An Ding to such a dangerous place? Wasn't he sending An Ding to her death?

Qing Guang's suspicious gaze pierced Ivan's heart. His face turned cold. He flung his sleeves and left. He even ordered that no one was to follow him.

Ziyuan smiled helplessly. Could this be considered as having been caught in an opening and running away?

Knowing that Ivan wouldn't be coming back today, Violet Orchid told the swords in Ivan's house to do as they pleased. She went back to her room to deal with the pile of work.

Hasebe and Qing Guang didn't want to stay in another God's Inquisitor's house. The two of them returned to their own Honmaru.

They met other swords on the way. Hasebe asked about his master's whereabouts, but they all said that they didn't see him.

Qing Guang twirled his hair with his fingers. He was depressed.

He actually doubted his master's intentions. This time, he really lost his master's favor …

Hasebe opened his mouth, but didn't know how to comfort him. He now regretted telling Jiazhou about his master's intentions.

"You must be tired from today's battle. Why don't you go back to your room and rest? I'll think of a way to deal with my master. You …"

Qing Guang's body swayed. He was in a daze.

Memories of his master flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

When did it start?

Originally, he had always been by his master's side, helping his master wash his clothes and cook his meals, chatting with his master, and assisting his master in his work. But now, the only thing he could do was to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy, and bring back more swords. His master no longer valued him the most, but rather …

Thinking back, he seemed to have pushed his master away with his own hands.

"Jiazhou!"

Hasegawa chased for a few steps and then stopped. What could he say if he chased after them?

Just looking at him now would make Jiazhou uncomfortable.

Yamato Moriyasu felt that he had gained a lot from this battle. After talking with Qing Guang from the Violet Orchid family, he felt that things that he couldn't see clearly before suddenly became clear.

But this didn't mean that he had really let go of the past. He knew that he was still a little confused and hadn't really gotten rid of the past.

This battle was really more difficult than before. He had already tried his best not to be a burden. Fortunately, his master gave him a large amount of holy water, so he could go home unharmed.

He was suddenly summoned back. Qing Guang must be very worried about him.

Thinking about whether to scare Qing Guang, Yamato Moriyasu opened the door. Before he could do anything, he was shocked.

"Qing Guang?

What happened to you? "

Hearing Yamato Mamoru's voice, Qing Guang raised his head to take a look. Sure enough, apart from looking tired, he wasn't injured. Instead, his expression was a little clearer. Qing Guang knew that he must have gained a lot from this trip.

Suddenly, he felt very uncomfortable. Qing Guang hugged his arms and tried to shrink into the corner.

Yamato Moriyasu could tell at a glance that he had cried.

"What happened?"

Yamato Moriyasu closed the door and strode over to pull Qing Guang out of the corner. He looked very worried.

"I … I did something very wrong. Master, he … he won't love me anymore."

Yamato Moriyasu tried to comfort the crying Qing Guang. His mind was a little confused.

Why did things change so much when he came back?

"Don't be sad. I don't think Master is such a narrow-minded person. If you go and apologize, maybe he will forgive you."

Yamato Moriyasu knew how much Qing Guang loved Master. He even found that the way Qing Guang looked at Master was different from the way he looked at Okita Kun, although he couldn't tell what the difference was.

This blow was fatal to Qing Guang. Yamato Moriyasu couldn't leave Qing Guang like this. After comforting Qing Guang, Yamato Moriyasu stood up silently and quietly left the room.

He knocked on Master's door. There was only Hasebe, who was buried in documents. He asked bluntly, "Hasebe, do you know where Master is?"

Hasebe naturally knew what Yamato Moriyasu was thinking. He sighed and shook his head, "I've already looked, but I didn't see Master anywhere."

Yamato Moriyasu frowned.

"Jiazhou … Is he okay?"

"Not so good. It's the first time I've seen Qing Guang so fragile. It's better not to let him go out for the time being."

If his mind was unstable, it was easy to fall into darkness. If he fell, things would be terrible.

In the cases Yamato Moriyasu knew, there was only one end for a fallen Swordsman, and that was to be obliterated.

In any case, he couldn't watch Qing Guang go down that road.

Yamato Moriyasu clenched his fists.
