“What the hell! It’s none of my business.” Xiao Bing got a fright. “Surely he’s not asking me to marry his granddaughter and inherit the mantle of the Iza Family? Even so, I’m not of the Iza family.”
In fact, that was just about what Iza Kawatani was thinking. Iza Kawatani looked at Xiao Bing and said, “My granddaughter likes you, and I have no prejudice against your family. I believe that you’re worthy of her based on your gift. If you’re willing, I can arrange for her to marry you, but you have to agree to one condition.”
Although Xiao Bing had no interest in marrying Princess Nami, he couldn’t help asking, “What’s the condition?”
Iza Kawatani said, “If you marry my granddaughter and become the emperor’s son-in-law, I won’t treat you badly. I’ll pass on all my lifelong learning in martial arts to you. However, I need you to work on having a child right after marriage, and your first son needs to change his surname to Iza to be the heir to my Iza family. ”
Now, Xiao Bing understood Iza Kawatani’s intention. Although he was talented, Iza Kawatani wanted an heir who was surnamed Iza. However, Iza Nami was not gifted in martial arts. Then, there was only one way. He had to let her child take the surname Iza and inherit his mantle.
Speaking of this, Iza Kawatani did not forget to remind him, “I don’t think it’s an imposition. After all, you can have more than one child. I only need one of your sons to change his surname to Iza. Only then will I impart all my learning to him, and the Hall of Martial Gods will belong to him.”
It was not an imposition. Strictly speaking, it was not a big deal. It often happened in such a large family. It was not an intimidation either. On the other hand, it would be profitable for Xiao Bing.
The crucial issue was that Xiao Bing was not going to marry Iza Nami. However, he would not refuse him so quickly. Anyway, he was wearing a mask. He could delay it temporarily. Until he finished his task, they could not find him. So, he would tell him the answer later. Once his mission was accomplished, where would they find him? He deal with all that later.
Xiao Bing pretended to contemplate, and Iza Kawatani looked at him nervously. Even if Iza Kawatani had a high status and mighty strength, he could not force others to make babies. The relationship has to be consensual. In Iza Kawatani’s opinion, although Nami was not gifted in martial arts, her son might inherit his grandfather and his great-grandfather’s talent, because Nami was a descendant of the Iza Family. Besides, Iza Kawatani was a rare martial genius. If they got married, they would give birth to a brilliant martial genius. That’s why he came up with such an idea.
Xiao Bing pretended to think for a while, and then said, “Senior Iza, if Princess Nami and I get married and have a child, I will certainly change the name of one of my son to Iza. However, love can’t be forced. When conditions are right, love will happen naturally. Everything is uncertain right now.”
Iza Kawatani seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and smiled. Xiao Bing’s words were ambiguous. He seemed to agree with him, but he did not promise anything. However, his words gave temporary satisfaction to Iza Kawatani. Although he did not promise anything, he would not offend Iza Kawatani. That was what he wanted.
Iza Kawatani was already satisfied that Xiao Bing agreed to this extent. He was confident that his granddaughter could get the boy. After all, Iza Nami was a princess and had a noble status. Anyone who married her would skyrocket through the social ranks. Moreover, Iza Nami was the first beauty of Country R. Whether from identity or appearance, no man could resist her. Even if Xiao Bing was different from other men, Iza Kawatani thought as long as his granddaughter was interested in him, it would only be a matter of time.
After getting a satisfactory answer, Iza Kawatani became more friendly, like a grandfather treating his grandson. He asked Xiao Bing about what he’d learned and what he did not understand in the practice room. Xiao Bing could not refuse such a good opportunity. Thus, he learned a lot in his exchanges with Iza Kawatani.
Xiao Bing had reservations in order to hide his identity, while Iza Kawatani had no reservations in helping his granddaughter. He answered Xiao Bing’s questions to the best of his ability.
Xiao Bing sought advice from him, so they chatted. Hours passed, and it was getting dark. Later, Princess Nami telephoned and knew that Xiao Bing was talking with her grandfather. She did not want to interrupt him, so she asked Fukuda to send her back. She let Xiao Bing go back alone after they finished talking.
There was nothing Xiao Bing wanted more. If Princess Nami was always by her side, he would have to go back to the emperor’s palace. Then, he would have to look for an opportunity to sneak out. There were many masters in the emperor’s palace. Although he could keep himself safe from them, it would be troublesome. But now, he could go back alone. By taking this opportunity, he could investigate first after leaving here, and then return to the imperial palace.
Xiao Bing had something to do. He had also asked all he wanted to. If he asked too much, he was afraid that Iza Kawatani would become suspicious. How could an acquired master figure out so many profound questions? Then, Xiao Bing rose and took his leave. He said with respect, “Senior, I’m going back tonight.”
“Go.” Iza Kawatani looked at Xiao Bing and said, “I was right about you. You’re talented.”
Xiao Bing said to himself, “I reached the Breaking The Void when I was below 30 years old. You may now be above me in strength and realm, but you’re already a hundred years old. So, I am indeed talented.” Xiao Bing thought to himself but didn’t say it.
After walking out of the Hall of Martial Gods, Xiao Bing began to look around the entire Imperial Palace. There were many houses and buildings in the Imperial Palace. Xiao Bing first avoided the three buildings, namely, the Imperial Palace, the Hall of Martial Gods, and the Nara Palace. The Emperor lived in the Imperial Palace; Iza Kawatani dwelt in the Hall of Martial Gods; the rest of the Royal Presbyterian Corps lived in the Nara Palace. Although each individual was not comparable to Xiao Bing in strength, not a single person was weak. If they were accidentally alarmed, Xiao Bing could not escape in perfect condition.
Xiao Bing looked in every corner of the two buildings, but he didn’t find anything for the time being. Then, he searched the palace where the emperor received foreign guests and held conferences. He still found nothing.
Xiao Bing came out of the palace, but he was not discouraged. Although the Kokyo of country R was not as big as the palace of Cathay, it was not small, so it’s impossible for him to finish looking everywhere in a short time. There seems to be someone living not too far away, so Xiao Bing decided to take a look there.
It was the middle of the night and Xiao Bing furtively but hurriedly went towards it. The front of the second floor of the two-story house was still lit up. Hm… The two men of God’s blood could not be locked in a place like this where ordinary people lived. However, he was uncertain if there was any basement in the building.
Although there were many guards in the imperial palace, they could not find Xiao Bing with their strength. In the current world, there were not many people who could find Xiao Bing.
Xiao Bing ran to the door of the room on the first floor. He hesitated, then suddenly climbed like a gecko under the lit window on the second floor. Xiao Bing quietly leaned against the wall, listening intently for any movement inside. It happened that the window was opened so he was able to sneak in.
As Xiao Bing listened intently, he seemed to hear a phone conversation from within. Someone sounded young but proud and confident. “Hello, how’s it going?”
“Remember, this thing I arranged must be secure and thorough. Otherwise, not only will I have an accident, you will also die. Also, I asked you to spread the news. I take it that you have.”
“Looks like my master has guests. Princess Nami has come to visit him. I’ll go to see him tomorrow and make sure he’s safe at the same time.”
“Okay, remember, before I call you, don’t call me first. Don’t ask me why I asked you to do these things. Just do as I say. Don’t forget that I gave you everything you have. If I want you to live, you will live; if I want you to die, you will naturally die.”
“I don’t think anyone in the world can imagine or do what I, Feng XIII, want to do.”
“It won’t take long for the whole country R and even the whole world to hear my name, Feng XIII!”
Xiao Bing didn’t expect that he would run into Feng XIII. Xiao Bing knew that Old Lei died in Feng XIII’s hands. Old Lei was one of Xiao Bing’s most loyal brothers. Besides Su Peiya, in the Dragon Gate, he was Xiao Bing’s most important sworn friend, and now he was dead.
It was all because of Feng XIII!
Moreover, Su Peiya’s death was carefully plotted by Buddhism, and Feng XIII was one of the eight Buddhist generals in Buddhism. No matter how cultured and shrewd Xiao Bing was, when he found out that the person inside was Feng XIII, he couldn’t stop the desire to kill. His breathing became unstable and he had a murderous look in his eyes.
And at this time, Feng XIII, who had already experienced countless battles of life and death, also felt the inexplicable killing intention coming from the window. He immediately flew towards the window while screaming: “Who! ”
