Chapter 540 Uneasy Feelings
"You, you're here!" At the entrance of the 5th Division, a new member seemed a little nervous, his body straightened, "Captain, the captain is inside!"
Ye Yi smiled at the nervous member, "Thank you, I'll go in and find him."
After saying that, Ye Yi patted the member's head, but the other party became even more nervous. She has been to the 5th Division more than once, and since the wedding, no one in Seireitei knows that she is Mrs. Chouzuka, so why are these 'family members' so nervous when they see her?
It must be that the dead fish eyes give people too much pressure, it must be like this!
After Yoruichi walked away, another old team member said helplessly: "It's just Master Yoruichi who is here. It's not the first time I've seen you. Why are you so nervous?"
The young team member wiped the sweat from his forehead and answered with relief: "I just don't know how to address her. It always feels weird to call her the captain's wife, but it doesn't seem respectful to call her Mrs. Chouzuka..."
"Well, then call Master Yoruichi?"
The young team member's face fell when he heard this, "But didn't a senior use this title a few days ago, and was taught a lesson by Master Yoruichi? What do you mean by being so distant..."
"Master Yoruichi is just joking. Don't be so nervous. The captain and Master Yoruichi are not difficult to get along with."
"Senior, are you sure? Why do I feel that the captain is not in a good mood recently, and people feel that strangers are not allowed to approach him?"
This is the truth. It has been more than a month since Hongjiang and Yoruichi's wedding.
It is worth mentioning that after the ceremony that was destined to belong to only a few people, Hongjiang also held a grand night banquet in the fifth squad, which was very lively.
After the wedding, the two spent more than half a month living in love. If Haiyan couldn't stand the piles of team affairs, they would have been crazy for a long time.
But the strange thing is that Hongjiang, who was obviously forced to return to work, got into the state too quickly. Not only did he handle affairs without the previous delays and playfulness, but the pressure on people was also increasing day by day.
This is not that he is throwing a tantrum, but just a heavy temperament, like a heavy dark cloud hanging around him. Even if he looks at you expressionlessly, it makes the person being stared at feel like he has done something wrong.
"Come to think of it, the captain hasn't laughed for a long time."
"Is there a problem with his relationship with Master Ye Yi?"
The old team member rolled his eyes at him, "If Master Ye Yi hears what you said, there will be a real problem. If the captain knows, he will definitely give you a good lesson."
"I'm just a little curious."
"It's better to train more than to spend time on this kind of thing!" The old team member taught him, "Go to the martial arts training ground immediately after your shift. If you lose your life on a mission, you will regret it too late."
After experiencing a grand ceremony, the 5th Division also returned to its former calm. But for some people, it seems like the calm before the storm, just on the surface.
Hong Jiang, who is in the side room of the captain's room at this moment, must not know that someone is gossiping about him. According to his previous character, he will not teach this person a lesson, but he will definitely tease this person. If this person is Haiyan, he must tease her 'well'. After all, this is one of his few sources of happiness.
But now, even if Ye Yi is here, he can't make a fuss. Chouzuka Hiroe, who is widely acknowledged by the Soul Society as being unpredictable, probably never thought that one day his mood would be easily seen by others.
Not just one or two people, I'm afraid no one in the entire 5th Division could not see that he was worried.
The side room of the captain's room of the 5th Division was the captain's private martial arts training room. Except for a hanging scroll with the words "calming down" hanging on the wall opposite the door, there was nothing else.
The sunlight shone through the small window on the wall onto the snow-white blade. Hiroe kept repeating the action of stepping and slashing, and the knife light flashed in the room like lightning.
He had been doing this basic sword swinging action for an unknown period of time. He was not practicing for any purpose. Just like what was written on the hanging scroll, he was just seeking a calm mind.
Having said that, the anxiety in his heart was released by swinging the sword faster and faster, and this anxiety seemed endless and could never dissipate.
After the wedding with Yoruichi, Hiroe did relax for a while. The happiness of fulfilling his long-cherished wish was enough to make him forget all his troubles.
But that forgetfulness is time-limited. Perhaps Hongjiang can enjoy life today, but doing so is undoubtedly deceiving himself.
He has experienced more than two hundred years of ups and downs, but even when facing Aizen, the pressure he endured in his heart was not a big crime. The disaster that he knew he had to face since he came to this world was the sense of crisis that he could never let go of.
The Invisible Empire, just like its name, is known to exist, but it is like an invisible fantasy that makes people unable to touch its shape.
Hongjiang has always known that if he can't find something substantial, he can only be forced to waste this last period of time and wait for the disaster in his impression to come.
How to find the Invisible Empire, or where the Invisible Empire is, is the biggest problem he faces.
After a heavy sword slash, Hongjiang took a half step back and raised his Zanpakuto again.
But finding the Invisible Empire does not mean that he can breathe a sigh of relief. It is just a beginning, an opportunity to change history.
Of course, he had made arrangements for this opportunity. The reason why he tolerated Sar Apollo again and again was because this person had been conducting relevant experiments for him. Although there are no results yet, there are some clues. Hongjiang has a hunch that he will soon find the invisible palace where the Quincy hides.
But what should he do after finding the Invisible Empire?
Although he can't say that he has been thinking about how to deal with the Invisible Empire every minute of these years, he has also put a lot of thought into it, but there is really no one that he thinks is feasible.
Showdown with the old man in the mountain and fight a decisive battle in advance?
Doing so is likely to make Ishida resist. You know, Ishida played a crucial role in the thousand-year bloody battle in the previous life.
In other words, whether it is a decisive battle or not, attacking in advance on the premise of finding the Invisible Empire may touch Ishida's nerves, but attacking in advance is extremely necessary, which puts Hongjiang into a kind of dead loop.
Maybe he can leave Ishida behind?
This is not impossible, but considering the terrible ability of the King of the Quincy, even if the button to change history is found, will the future predicted by the other party change, so as to make corresponding responses?
Hong Jiang chopped down and raised his Zanpakutō again and again. Every time he solved a problem in his mind, another or even more problems would appear to constrain him...
Leaving him helplessly swinging his sword in place like he is now.
