"...Ms. Kinoshita."

Qingdeng really couldn't control the confusion in his heart.

Driven by curiosity, he raised this question.

After hearing this, Kinoshita Lin burst into laughter.

"Well... well, it doesn't hurt to tell you. Aki, do you know 'Kinoshita Genichi'?"

Qingdeng replied subconsciously:

"How could the famous 'Hidden Sword Master' not know about it?"

Kinoshita Lin said lightly:

"Kinoshita Genichi is the uncle I just mentioned."

"..."

Silence fell between the two of them.

The cry of crows coming from the distance is particularly harsh.

Qingdeng's eyes widened, his expression dominated by intense shock.

The same person with a look of disbelief was Mai Kinoshita.

Facing the "Ah? Are you kidding me?" glances from Ayoto and Mai Kinoshita, Kinoshita Rin smiled:

"What? Do you think I'm lying?"

Qingdeng stammered in response:

"No, I just... didn't react..."

At this time, Boss Kiryu on the side smiled and added in a timely manner:

"Tachibana-kun, my lord did not lie. She is indeed Kinoshita Genichi's great-niece and great-nephew."

With Boss Kiryu's guarantee, no matter how shocked Qingto was, he could only choose to believe it.

He blinked hard and looked at Kinoshita Rin carefully and critically.

In Japan, "Kinoshita" is not a rare Miao character, it can even be said to be quite popular.

Therefore, even if Kinoshita Genichi and Kinoshita Rin have the same Miao character, it would be difficult for Ayoto to connect them.

Kinoshita Genichi - you can always find him in unofficial history and folklore.

What about "mediating the conflict between the two major ninja villages", what about "attacking the Iga ninja village alone", what about "Kinoshita Genichi is a descendant of Toyotomi Hideyoshi"... all kinds of legends are dazzling and difficult to distinguish.

true and false.

It is said that the heroic deeds of Kinoshita Genichi are spread even in European countries thousands of miles away.

Because he is incredibly powerful, yet extremely mysterious, and his movements are erratic, he has been dubbed the "Hidden Sword Master".

The only thing that can be certain is probably "there is a real person".

"Grandma, that Kinoshita Genichi is really mine...my..."

Kinoshita Mai is stuck.

She was probably thinking about what name to use to call Kinoshita Genichi.

Grandma’s uncle... this seniority is so big! He’s so old that he doesn’t even know what to call him!

Judging from Kinoshita Mai's current appearance...she, like Qingto, did not know that the legendary "Hidden Sword Master" had such a special connection with her until this very moment.

Qingto has become very accustomed to Kinoshita Mai's "ignorance".

This girl really doesn’t know anything!

I don’t know if she is too caring, or because Kinoshita Rin, Boss Kiryu and others protect her too well.

"Uncle... he likes to be nosy."

Kinoshita Lin smiled helplessly.

"Many times, I even just look for trouble."

"No matter whether the matter is related to him or not, and whether it will offend many people, as long as the interest comes, he will always get involved and get involved."

"For this reason, he made a lot of enemies."

"There are so many people who wish to crush him to pieces and even pass on this hatred from generation to generation."

"Ah Wu, you used to be such a careless child, you shouldn't need me to help you remember it, right?"

Kinoshita Mai's face immediately turned red with embarrassment.

"If I tell you the full story of the 'Hidden Sword Master' and our family, I'm afraid you will accidentally slip up and cause trouble and disaster."

"So, for your safety, I have been hiding it from you."

"I originally planned to wait until you grow up a bit before telling you the truth... Anyway, I will take advantage of this opportunity today to explain it to you in one breath."

She paused for a moment to formulate her words.

After a while, she spoke calmly:

"Uncle, he is a true martial arts genius."

As she spoke, her face showed a strong look of pride.

"For the first time I held a sword, I easily defeated my senior brother who has been immersed in swordsmanship for many years."

"It only took a very short time to master almost all the swordsmanship schools in the world."

“Because he wanted to see the vastness of the world, he ignored the shogunate’s ‘lockdown order’ and secretly boarded a Dutch merchant ship to cross the ocean to Europe.”

"He has been traveling in the West for many years, including the Netherlands, England, France and many other countries... During this period, he still did not change his personality of 'liking to make trouble for nothing' and 'keen on causing trouble for himself'."

"Because of this, his heroic deeds are spread among the people in European countries."

Speaking of this, Kinoshita Lin seemed to have remembered something, and the conversation suddenly changed:

"An Yi, according to Kuro, you have mastered the 'Breath of the Source', right?"

Qingden nodded.

The next moment, Kinoshita Rin once again said something shocking:

"The 'source' of 'Source of Breathing' is taken from Bo Gong. The creator of this great breathing method is none other than Bo Gong."

After hearing this, Qingto finally couldn't suppress the shock in his heart. He stared at Kinoshita Rin with his mouth open and was speechless for a long time.

As a fellow warrior, he naturally knows how great the "Breath of Source" is.

Simply changing the rhythm of your breathing can improve your focus.

If you practice to the peak, you can even use it as a medium to enter the extremely powerful "selfless state".

Although Qingdeng is very powerful today, he has not yet reached the state of "creation".

Going from 1 to 100 is great, but it is just an extension of the previous ones.

Going from 0 to 1 is a real act of genius!

"An Yi, if I remember correctly, my uncle already had the inspiration for breathing techniques when he was your age. Within a few years, he developed the 'Breath of the Source'."

"As for another person of the same age who also has amazing strength... An Yi, you should also know him."

Qingden asked half-jokingly:

"Since the first person is the 'Hidden Sword Master' Genichi Kinoshita, then the second person shouldn't be the 'Eternal Sword Master' Ogata Issei, right?"

"Yes, you got it right."

"..."

Silence fell again.

After a while, Qingdeng swallowed hard and asked cautiously:

"Ms. Kinoshita, you're not going to say: 'Actually, Ogata Issei is my older brother,' right?"

Kinoshita Lin laughed dumbly:

"That's not the case."

"My brother...died a long time ago because he went astray."

"But... Ogata and I do have a certain connection."

"In short, I know Ogata and have a pretty good relationship with him."

"About the legendary deeds of the 'Eternal Sword Master', I don't need an old woman to explain them one by one, right? You should have heard enough since you were young."

"My uncle developed the 'Breath of the Source' at a young age, and Ogata didn't give in too much."

"When we were young, there was no concept of 'momentum' at all."

"At that time, we only knew that the top experts would exude an astonishing, breathless aura."
