With Shifengyuan Zhenlong's laughter, the solemn atmosphere in the lounge suddenly relaxed.
"According to the current statement, you promised me to marry her?"
Kurosawa Mitsuru saw him smiling and couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he just asked.
"I can only say that I recognize you for the time being. You still have a long way to go before you marry my granddaughter. Wait until you become successful and famous before you can talk about it."
Shifengyuan Zhenlong nodded, holding the tea bowl, and said indifferently.
"What does it mean to be successful?"
Realizing that things were far from simple, Kurosawa Mitsuru asked immediately.
"Surpass Ogasawara and become the best archer."
"It's not that easy to rate a 10th grade grade. It takes too much time."
"You will tell the world that you cannot do without the help of the Shifengyuan family. Do you think I will just stand by and watch? As long as your strength and talent are strong enough, I will be able to nominate you to become the youngest tenth dan in history."
"Must it be ten sections?"
"You have to make people think that you will surpass Ogasawara Judan sooner or later."
"Wasn't that one arrow enough?"
"A 160-meter long-range shot that hits the target from a hundred paces away can indeed make you famous, even world-famous. But Ogasawara's reputation and status cannot be surpassed by just one arrow. Ogasawara-ryu is the representative of the Wenshe-ryu school."
Shifengyuan Zhenlong looked at him deeply, knowing his talent very well, but he also pointed it out.
As a master of his generation, Ogasawara Judan is not so easy to surpass.
His status is not entirely due to his strength, the key is that he made an indelible contribution to Neon Kyudo.
"What if it's two arrows?"
After hearing this, Kurosawa Mitsuru asked immediately.
In fact, the reason why he stopped after shooting one arrow instead of two was to preserve his strength and win more recognition and admiration from Shifengyuan Zhenlong.
"Even if you are a three-arrow archer, it is impossible to surpass Ogasawara and become the best archer. You must first establish your own school, recruit many disciples, and be loved by others."
When Shifengyuan Zhenlong heard this, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, but he still shook his head.
It is true that Japanese people worship the strong, but their emphasis on seniority and respect for teachers are even more deeply rooted.
"Will it be useful to defeat Ogasawara head-on?" Kurosawa Mitsuru thought for a while and asked.
Although the negotiations went smoothly, the other party has not formally agreed to him yet, and he must meet some conditions.
"He's already old. Even if you beat him, what good will it do? You'll be accused of petty insubordination and disrespect."
"So we can only do it step by step?"
"You are all still young, there is no need to rush."
Seeing that he was very anxious, Shifengyuan Zhenlong comforted him.
"indeed."
Kurosawa Hikaru thought about it and gradually calmed down.
Then, they talked about some other things, such as what the school would be called, Kurosawa-ryu.
After chatting for a while, the serious matters were finished.
"Let me formally introduce myself. I'm Shifengyuan Zhenlong. You can call me grandpa from now on."
Shifengyuan Zhenlong put down the tea bowl, slowly stood up, and extended his hand to him.
"I'm Kurosawa Hikaru. You can call me that after we get married. Before that, I'll call you Mr. Shinryuu."
When Kurosawa Mitsuru saw that he took the initiative to extend his hand, thinking it meant kindness, he stood up and walked over to shake his hand.
"I'm looking forward to you becoming the leader in Kyudo."
Shifengyuan Zhenlong patted his arm with his left hand, and said kindly and with high hopes.
"Thank you for your recognition and understanding."
Kurosawa Mitsuru felt that he was approachable and nodded.
"My old friend and I still have something to say, you guys go out first."
Seeing that he was finally obedient and respectful, Shifengyuan Zhenlong nodded slightly, looked at him, then looked at his granddaughter who had a crush on him, and said.
"We?"
When Shifengyuan Mirai heard this, he was a little surprised. He never expected him to say this.
"I'm not asking you to be alone together, but I have something to say, and I want to chat with my old friend alone for a while."
Seeing how happy she was, Shifengyuan Shinryu just glanced at Akai Sayaka and said indifferently.
"good."
Kurosawa Hikaru realized that they had something to say, glanced at Sato Shinichi, and after receiving the latter's reassuring look, he nodded.
After saying that, he turned around and glanced at the future, and when she stood up, they walked out of the room together.
As they left, Sayaka Akai followed closely behind.
When the door closed, there were only three people left in the room, Shifengyuan Shinryu, Akai Kazuki, and Sato Shinichi.
"You just made such an excessive request. Are you really not afraid that he will refuse? If he really doesn't want to marry your granddaughter and just leaves, it will be difficult for you to keep him."
As they left, Sato Shinichi, not afraid to speak his mind, clicked his tongue.
"If he is really a smart man, he would not just turn around and leave."
Shifengyuan Zhenlong sat back in his original position and said calmly.
If Kurosawa Mitsuru had no cunning or intelligence, he would not look down on him even if he had great archery skills and talent.
When faced with major events, people who can only make the two extreme choices of agreeing and rejecting will be of no use.
"Is this your original intention?"
Sato Shinichi thought about it and then asked.
Just now, Lao You threatened several times, which is not like his shrewd style.
"Success may not depend on me, but I must be part of the success. Don't you think so too?"
Shifengyuan Zhenlong smiled and did not deny it.
"You asked him to call you grandpa from now on. You are really unkind. What will you let me do from now on?"
Sato Shinichi had a very deep friendship with him, they were lifelong friends, so he was not afraid of offending him and glared at him.
"He married my granddaughter and became my grandson-in-law. It's only natural for him to call me grandpa. And you are not a kind person. You should have told me about him a long time ago instead of hiding it. Not only did you give me a bow, but you also called me brother and even came all the way to be a judge. You are really hardworking to protect me like this."
Shifengyuan Zhenlong glared at this, feeling righteous, and then fought back.
She had clearly chosen a very good grandson-in-law for him, but she didn't even tell him directly and insisted on letting him watch this amateur competition.
"Even if I tell you, you may not believe it. Hearing is not as good as seeing... And there is a saying about friendship regardless of age. "
Sato Shinichi spread his hands, not bothered about hiding the matter, and then touched his chin and said proudly.
…
Walking out of the lounge, Kurosawa Hikaru and Shifengyuan Mirai walked side by side, followed by a maid.
Because there was a maid following them, the bodyguards did not catch up. After all, they were the bodyguards of Shifengyuan Zhenlong.
"Huh..."
After walking for a while and gradually getting away from the lounge, Kurosawa Mitsuru breathed a sigh of relief.
"You scared me to death just now... You are so domineering. What if my grandfather hates you because of this?"
Shifengyuan Mirai noticed that he was also very nervous just now, and her mood relaxed. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and said coquettishly in a low voice.
She was really scared just now, because in her impression, no matter who it was, when seeing his grandfather, they would be servile and subservient.
"I didn't mean to scare you, but I knew my limits. Before today, I discussed this with Brother Shinichi in advance, and based on his sitting posture, I could judge your grandfather's attitude and reaction. His sitting posture today showed that your grandfather saw through the relationship between you and me, but he admired me very much."
Seeing her charming and gentle look, Kurosawa Hikaru smiled.
"Why didn't you tell me about this in advance? I was scared to death by you."
Sifengyuan still had some concerns about the future, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch him.
It was just a symbolic pinch, not a real one. It was more of a way of acting coquettishly than a blame.
The first meeting was a success. Although we haven't gotten engaged yet, it's still a big progress.
"I wanted to tell you, too, but you didn't come to the dojo on Sunday."
Seeing her pale face, Kurosawa Hikaru smiled.
“I want to go, but I can’t.”
Shifengyuan Mirai was helpless about this, as she had met Kurosawa Hikaru very few times to begin with.
"By the way, do you know what I was doing before I came here?"
Kurosawa Hikaru suddenly asked, recalling the previous negotiations.
"I know. You were stopped by two girls."
When Shifengyuan Mirai heard this question, she looked up at him but did not blame him.
"Does he really know about this?"
When Kurosawa Mitsuru heard this answer, he seemed to be thinking about something.
In fact, he had vaguely guessed that this would be the case.
After all, the bodyguard was not his man, but a subordinate of Shifengyuan Zhenlong. There was no way he could lie to his boss and say that he really went to the toilet.
If this is concealed and discovered later, the consequences will be very serious for the bodyguard.
"It's not a bad thing, actually. It's better to let him know now that you are not a loyal man than to let him know later. And for Grandpa, being unfaithful is not a shortcoming."
Seeing that he was thinking, Shifengyuan Mirai thought he was worried and comforted him.
"I know, I relied on this to make the final kill." Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded slightly.
"Kurosawa, is there a woman in this world that you must marry?"
At this moment, Shifengyuan Mirai suddenly quickened his pace, ran forward two steps, turned around and asked.
This question is the winning question for Kurosawa's grandpa.
This was a sudden and direct inquiry, and it was obvious that even if she didn't care how many girls he had, she would still care about how sincere his love for her was.
People always have different attitudes when facing different people.
"Yes, isn't it you?"
Kurosawa Hikaru met her beautiful, jewel-like eyes, and spoke sincerely in response to her expectations.
Although he had been very strong in the negotiation just now, for him, Shifengyuan had to be married in the future.
"If you really want to marry me, then you would have dared to be so strong in your attitude towards Grandpa just now."
Hearing this reply, Shifengyuan Mirai's beautiful eyes curved and the corners of her mouth turned up, she looked a little happy, but then she turned to questioning.
"Are you angry because I didn't agree to it in the first place?"
Kurosawa Hikaru noticed the change in her tone, thought for a moment and asked.
"I'm not mad at you. The result is good. It's just that during the process, I was a little sad and scared. I was worried that you would abandon me, and that everything you said to me before was a lie."
Sifengyuan Mirai shook his head, took two steps forward, came close to him and faced him, and spoke in a very close manner.
For women, the harm caused by deception is great.
At such a close distance, the words spoken shake the heart and make the heart beat faster.
The atmosphere is very good, and the two people's lips are very close.
"How could I bear to lie to you?" Looking at her absolutely beautiful and stunning face and hearing her frightened complaint, Kurosawa Mitsuru was deeply attracted to her. He responded softly and could not help but lower his head, wanting to kiss her.
Seeing him leaning forward, Shifengyuan Mirai's heartstrings trembled, but she did not resist at all and slowly closed her eyes.
“Ahem!”
However, just when the two were about to kiss, a light cough was heard from behind.
