Chapter 379: The Three Noble Families
After the subordinate who was waiting for the message left, the old man in the white robe looked at his granddaughter and asked, "What did the Uesugi family’s daughter say?"
"She said that she received a clear response from our ancestors, and she also said that Chu Jiang is a very powerful being. She told us to seize this opportunity." The woman in the kimono responded softly.
The old man pondered for a moment and said, "Then, I will allow you to go ahead and do it. I will make sure that everyone in Peaceful Spirit Garden cooperates with you."
"By the way, since you have seen him, what kind of person do you think he is?"
The woman in the kimono calmly replied, "I have only seen him once, but he was very cautious and calm."
"Hmm, then do you think Kujo family’s scheme will be successful?"
The woman in the kimono shook her head slightly and said, "There is a high probability that it will end in a violent confrontation. However, it might not necessarily be a bad thing, as one of the three noble families might have a vacant position." As she spoke, she gently blew on the green tea, took a sip.
"Well, that’s it then. You may proceed."
"Yes, grandfather." The woman in the kimono nodded, placed the teacup down gently, stood up, and gracefully exited the room like a precise and elegant puppet.
…….
When Chu Jiang carried Michiko off the plane, many passengers looked at him with surprise because it’s rare to see a big man traveling alone with a baby.
As soon as they entered the airport lobby, Chu Jiang saw a group of men in suits holding exaggerated and geeky banners to welcome him.
[The Strongest in History! The God-like Man, Unrivaled in Heaven and Earth! Captain Chu Jiang!]
The font on the banner was colorful, and Chu Jiang felt so awkward after just glancing at it that he couldn’t speak.
In front of the group of men in suits were a man and a woman.
The young man wore a black coat and sunglasses, and he looked kind of handsome.
The young woman was wearing a white archery uniform from the archery club and a black long skirt (hakama). Her hair was tied in a single ponytail, and she had a cute innocent look with dimples on both sides of her face. As she jumped excitedly, she waved towards Chu Jiang and said, "Over here! Over here!"
Her infectious smile revealed two little fangs, and the most important thing was that when she jumped, the substantial round objects on her chest also bounced up and down~
It’s worth mentioning that the other person spoke in Chinese, so Chu Jiang could understand without any difficulty.
Chu Jiang walked over to Michiko with a blank expression on his face. As he got closer, he noticed that this girl, who seemed to be either in high school or college, was petite, just like Xu Xiaoxiao, but developed in certain areas.
Honestly, Chu Jiang thought she wasn’t suitable for the archery club. Would she be able to avoid hitting herself when releasing the arrow?
The young man immediately stepped forward and bowed, "Captain Chu, I am Uesugi Kazuya, the captain of the Peaceful Spirit Garden’s thirteenth squad, here to welcome you!"
The black-clad men behind him also bowed in unison and greeted loudly, but Chu Jiang could only understand the last three words, which should be "Captain Chu."
The archer naturally bowed as well, "I am Uesugi Hinagiku from the Uesugi family, here to welcome Captain Chu!"
Honestly, with all the commotion caused by these people, it naturally attracted the attention of many travelers inside the airport.
However, the airport staff responsible for maintaining order simply turned a blind eye, so others didn’t have much to say. Some people discreetly took out their phones to record videos…
Thirteenth squad captain… Chu Jiang couldn’t help but sarcastically ask, "Are you Fuju Takashiro?"
"Okay, take me to find a place to stay." Chu Jiang, holding the baby, walked out on his own and the people from Peaceful Spirit Garden immediately followed.
Uesugi Kazuya smiled at Chu Jiang and said, "Do you want me to hold the child? Also, we have already contacted Michiko’s family. You can hand her over to us anytime."
Chu Jiang glanced at Michiko and asked, "Can we trust this guy?"
Michiko looked somewhat confused, as she had previously been a low-level Ghost Master at Peaceful Spirit Garden and had never seen these high-ranking officials before.
Just then, Uesugi Kazuya took out a strange red collar with a mouth on it and handed it to Chu Jiang.
"This thing can help the child speak."
As a side note, he also took out a pair of translation earphones for Chu Jiang to use. These were similar to the ones provided by BRPD, but they were not available for public sale. The production cost of each pair was very high, making it nearly impossible for them to be affordable for ordinary people.
Although there may be some small errors in translation, they are definitely usable for everyday purposes.
Chu Jiang took the collar and glanced at it. It seemed to be some kind of seal and not very harmful.
But he didn’t put it around Michiko’s neck, he just put it on his right hand. This thing can automatically shrink in size, so there’s no need to worry about not being able to wear it.
When she put on the collar, Michiko adjusted for a moment, and a creepy female voice came out of her mouth, as if it were the words spoken by a vengeful spirit, "I, I, you…"
The words spoken by Michiko were not in Japanese or Chinese, but in a language that no one had heard before, yet understood by those who heard it.
"You see, I don’t know these people, but they should be members of the Peaceful Spirit Garden’s leadership, and probably one of the three households."
As Michiko spoke, Uesugi Kazuya handed a letter to Chu Jiang, saying, "This is a handwritten letter from our ancestor, you can take a look."
Chu Jiang took the neatly folded piece of paper, and indeed, it had Mr. Xu’s handwriting on it. The general idea was to have future generations cooperate with Chu Jiang and say that Chu Jiang was looking for something.
This surprised Chu Jiang a bit, "Are you descendants of the Xu family?"
Uesugi Hinagiku quickly answered before her brother, "Yes, our bloodline has always had the lineage of the Kyushu Xu family, it’s just that it’s not known to outsiders."
As for why they don’t have the surname Xu, Chu Jiang could easily figure it out. With the exclusionary mentality of the island nation, how could this mixed Japanese-Chinese bloodline ever become part of the "Three Families"?
And Mr. Xu, back then, probably met a lady from the Uesugi family, but once the affair was done, he left. It’s normal for her to take her mother’s surname.
After confirming his identity, Chu Jiang nodded and looked at Michiko in his arms. "The next action I have to take is quite dangerous. It’s better for you not to get involved."
"The impression you left on me in the castle last time was profound. I hope you can grow up healthy."
Michiko hesitated for a moment. "I was going to say that there’s no use for me, just following Captain Chu’s orders casually. But considering my current state, I’d better not hold you back."
"I can only say one thing, I wish you good luck in your martial endeavors."
Chu Jiang smiled and nodded.
As they walked out of the airport and got into the prepared car, Chu Jiang handed Michiko over to Uesugi Hinagiku first.
Then he asked, "Where is the destination?"
Uesugi Kazuya replied respectfully, "Our Uesugi family has a private property near Narita Airport. We plan to take you there first. If you want to visit the headquarters of Peaceful Spirit Garden first, it’s also possible."
