"you… "
When Shifengyuan Fubuki heard his confident words, she originally tried to say something.
However, when she saw Kurosawa Mitsuru's high-spirited, calm and proud demeanor, as well as his cold and resolute starry eyes, she was speechless.
Because she had a feeling that what Kurosawa Hikaru said was true, and he would become the leader in archery.
The most important thing was that she couldn't refute it anymore, because Kurosawa Mitsuru brought up the old man. If she continued to refute, once the maid and the housekeeper next to her heard it and reported it to them, she would inevitably be punished.
“Pah, pah, pah!”
"He is really young and promising, and has a very good appearance."
At this moment, Shifengyuan Huiyang suddenly clapped and spoke.
He looked at Kurosawa Mitsuru's proud and majestic posture with great admiration and respect.
Although his archery practice has been reduced to less than once a month over the years as he has assumed power and assumed the throne, as well as being busy with his life, he is still an archer.
Because of this, he can feel the oppressive feeling and strength brought by Kurosawa Mitsuru more than outsiders.
"Thanks for the compliment."
Kurosawa Mitsuru could sense that he had given up trying to stop him, and responded with a chuckle.
"Kurosawa, are you really going to marry my daughter?"
Immediately, Shifengyuan Huiyang took over the conversation.
"really."
Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded slightly and said affirmatively.
"When do you plan to marry the future?"
"Four and a half years at the most. At the latest, it will be when she graduates from college. It may be before then, too. It depends on the timing."
"Then four and a half years later, when you graduate from college, I'll wait for you to propose to me."
"Does Uncle approve of our relationship?"
Maybe it was a verbal agreement, but Kurosawa Mitsuru saw that his attitude made it clear, so he asked.
“I already agree with you.”
Shifengyuan Huiyang nodded slightly and said affirmatively.
In fact, he could guess what the old man's plan was against Kurosawa Mitsuru.
Although no one would complain about having too much money, the Shifengyuan family already has an enormous fortune. Although they are not as wealthy as a country, they are still wealthy enough.
In this case, what is more important than money is power and fame, things that are more valuable and meaningful than money.
"Thank you for your recognition, uncle."
Hearing this, Kurosawa Mitsuru said immediately.
After saying that, he felt his hand tighten. It was Shifengyuan's future little hand, holding his palm tightly.
Turning around, there was an unconcealable joy at the corners of Shifengyuan Mirai's mouth and eyes.
Obviously, her father's personal approval was a very happy thing for her.
"I wonder what Auntie means?"
Then, Kurosawa Mitsuru also asked directly.
"I hope you can really get married. It's okay for you to date, but don't forget the rules of the Shifengyuan family. You can't have sex before you get married."
Faced with this question, Shifengyuan Fubuki had no choice but to respond even though she was extremely reluctant.
Four and a half years is an extremely long time for a man and a woman before getting married. If they can really survive this period, then she will have nothing to say.
"good."
Seeing her reluctant agreement, Kurosawa Hikaru didn't care and just nodded.
At this point in the conversation, the serious business was over, and a more relaxed chat followed.
"Kurosawa, I have a few questions, I wonder if you can help me solve them."
Putting aside the issue of his daughter's love affair, Shifengyuan Huiyang couldn't help but ask.
"Please go ahead."
"You said that you learned Kyudo from my father. Is that true?"
"What do you think?"
"It's fake. It's not easy to meet him." Shifengyuan Huiyang saw his smile and understood something.
"That's right." Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded slightly.
If it weren't for Brother Zhenyi's matchmaking, he probably would never have the chance to meet the old man in his life.
"How did you develop your archery skills? At a distance of 160 meters, it's difficult to see the target clearly. It's amazing that you were able to hit all five arrows, and they were all in the bull's eye."
After revealing the lie in the acceptance speech, Shifengyuan Huiyang asked again.
He is actually one of Sato Kyudan's students. After all, his father and Sato Kyudan have a brotherly relationship.
That's right, he knew very well that Mr. Sato could not teach a monster as terrifying as Kurosawa Hikaru.
You have to know that even as strong as Sensei Sato was at his peak in his youth, when he challenged the Sanjusangendo Ryu, his record was only the best of his time and he was invincible among his peers.
In comparison, Kurosawa Hikaru's archery strength and level can be regarded as the best in history.
For him, shooting from 60 meters is as easy as drinking water.
An ultra-long-range shot of 160 meters, hitting the target from a hundred paces away, and all five arrows hitting the center of the bull's eye are even more amazing skills.
"It's not something you can practice, it's all based on talent."
"It really is talent... Hard work determines the lower limit, talent determines the upper limit."
Realizing his situation, Shifengyuan Huiyang couldn't help but sigh.
He has been learning Kyudo since he was a child, and it has been thirty years now.
Although this is true, he is only a fifth-dan in Kyudo, which is barely enough to pass the threshold of professional Kyudo... He can get the fifth-dan title thanks to his family background. Otherwise, the fourth-dan title would be his limit.
This is also the reason why he gradually abandoned Kyudo over the years... because he saw his own limits and it was difficult to improve.
"How many years have you been learning Kyudo?"
Then, Shifengyuan Huiyang asked again.
"I played Kyudo when I was a kid in my hometown, and I studied it seriously for about a month."
Kurosawa Hikaru thought about it, glanced at Shihouin Fubuki opposite him, and said.
“Is this true or false?”
After hearing this, Shifengyuan Huiyang was shocked.
"real."
Kurosawa Hikaru nodded.
"Hiss..."
Shifengyuan Huiyang took a breath of cold air.
Not only him, but also the maid and the butler standing beside were stunned, including Shifengyuan Mirai, who was also shocked and looked at Kurosawa Hikaru with astonishment.
As for Shihouin Fubuki, she didn't know much about Kyudo. She had only seen Sato Kyudan shoot arrows once at the Chuifeng Dojo, so she had no idea what he was talking about.
But everyone's reaction, plus the time, told her one fact... This Kurosawa Hikaru is a super genius.
"You've only been learning for a month, why didn't you mention it during the interview? Such a terrifying talent can be called the strongest in history."
Sifengyuan Huiyang was numb, doubting his life and feeling extremely frustrated, and then he couldn't help but say.
Previously, when Kurosawa Hikaru was interviewed, he shed tears and gave a touching speech. As a shooter, he could empathize with the guy.
Because he seemed to see Kurosawa Mitsuru, just like him, practicing archery day after day, month after month in the dojo, sweating and improving his skills.
It turned out that all of this was fake... Kurosawa Hikaru didn't put in any effort at all, it all depended on his natural talent.
"If I really say that, then wouldn't the lifelong efforts of other archery players be meaningless? And it would also be equivalent to telling the world that archery is purely based on talent."
Not surprised to see the frustration on his face, Kurosawa explained.
In fact, he had wanted to say it out loud. Since he wanted to be the leader in Kyudo, he had to be the strongest in history and no one could surpass him.
But Brother Shinichi enlightened him on this matter.
Speaking out about this matter may not be a good thing, as it will seriously dampen the enthusiasm of other kyudo players.
If he was the only one doing Kyudo, it would be meaningless.
The image he wants to present is a new benchmark for Kyudo, telling people the charm and limits of Kyudo, rather than using absolute talent to negate the role of hard work and crush all his peers.
"indeed."
After hearing this, Shifengyuan Huiyang thought about it seriously and immediately understood the intention.
The reason why talent is called talent is because it is innate and cannot be acquired later.
It is a good thing to have talent. Having absolute talent may win the admiration of the world, but it may also make people feel daunted.
Kurosawa wants to rise through Kyudo, and the field of Kyudo would be best to keep pace with it, prosper and progress together, so as to attract more people to pay attention to Kyudo and join in.
"Please do not reveal this truth to anyone. The only people who know about this are you, Sato Kyudan, and Mr. Shinryuu."
Seeing that he understood, Kurosawa Mitsuru also gave him some serious instructions.
While speaking, he also looked at his mother-in-law. This was a serious matter and should not be made public.
The maid and the butler would absolutely keep their mouth shut.
My father-in-law is also a Kyudo player and can understand the meaning of it... But my mother-in-law looks down on Kyudo and is the only one who might let the cat out of the bag.
"Fubuki, don't make your family affairs known to others."
Realizing that this was a very important secret, Shifengyuan Huiyang noticed his gaze and also warned his wife.
"I know my limits."
Shifengyuan Fubuki was not angry at all when she saw her husband helping outsiders to give instructions to her.
This Kurosawa Mitsuru, with his talent in Kyudo and the old man's appreciation, is truly impeccable.
Although she did not understand the charm of Kyudo, she had to admit that Kurosawa Hikaru was indeed a rare talent and unique among men.
After chatting for another hour, Shifengyuan Huiyang decided to leave because he still had work to do.
Before leaving, he also took his wife with him, leaving the space to the two young people.
"It's useless for me to tell you. You just don't believe it. He can get the old man's approval and get the family head's business card. Do you think he is really that easy to deal with?"
As the elevator door closed and they parted ways completely, Shifengyuan Huiyang's gentle smile disappeared, he straightened his clothes, and said coldly.
"But he wasn't like this at all a year ago."
Shifengyuki Shifeng was not surprised to see his drastic change in expression, but felt helpless.
Originally, she wanted to make Kurosawa Mitsuru give up today. If that didn't work, she would just use money to drive him away, so that she could continue to be sought after and befriended by people at various banquets.
But what no one expected was that Kurosawa Hikaru was so difficult to deal with... With the old man as his backer, and his absolute talent and strength in archery, he was simply unshakable.
"When a man has been away for three days, he should be treated with new eyes, let alone after a year. Don't even think about dealing with him in the future, he is very powerful."
Sifengyuan Huiyang took the cigar handed to him by the butler, took a deep puff, and said indifferently.
"All right."
Although Shifengyuan Fubuki was reluctant, she had no choice but to nod.
This Kurosawa Hikaru is such a ruthless character... He went straight for the old man, so that by the time she knew about this, the matter had already been settled and there was no way to reverse it.
