"Now that the Kichikawa family has extended an invitation on behalf of the five noble families, it is no longer possible to remain uninvolved."

Upon hearing this, Ru Yueming frowned and fell into deep thought.

Actually, his first thought was to let Yamamoto go on a rampage and kill whoever he didn't like.

Those nobles have all talk and no action; they're really just all talk.

In terms of pure martial prowess, even combined, they couldn't withstand a few hits of Ryujin Jakka's Blazing Inferno, let alone a World-class Noble Phantasm like the Zanka no Tachi.

But Yamamoto would certainly not agree to that. Doing so would undoubtedly shatter the order of Soul Society, and the peace that had been maintained for countless years would collapse instantly.

I racked my brains, but couldn't think of a suitable solution.

Yamamoto looked at Ruyueming, whose forehead veins were bulging and who had a constipated expression, and sighed deeply.

Alright, this foolish disciple isn't cut out for it, let's not make things difficult for him.

Just as he was about to speak, Ru Yueming's eyes suddenly lit up:

"I got it."

"Let's do this first, then that, and finish it off in one last wave!"

As he finished speaking, he was startled to find Yamamoto staring at him with an unfriendly expression, his hand holding the teacup slowly lowering, and his fingers seemingly clenching into a fist.

"Ahem, actually it's just a feigned agreement. I'll infiltrate the enemy camp, gather the relevant intelligence, and then take down these unsettling elements in one fell swoop."

Ru Yueming was afraid that the old man would punch him again, so he quickly repeated his thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Yamamoto stared at the boy in front of him with surprise, seriously suspecting that his brain had been replaced.

Something is wrong!

With that kid's intelligence, he shouldn't have come up with this kind of method.

He knew Ruyueming too well.

They'd rather brute force their way through than use their brains, as if they had a grudge against their own minds.

Go with your gut feeling.

"It's too dangerous, I can't agree to that."

After a moment's thought, Yamamoto shook his head. "Can you guarantee that your true purpose won't be discovered by the nobles?"

"A single misstep could lead to an abyss."

"Unless the order is completely broken, even I will not be able to save you at that time."

Upon hearing this, Ru Yueming scratched his head, puzzled, and asked:

"is it hard?"

"Actually, I feel fine. After all, you, teacher, have never discovered my ambition to become the captain."

Yamamoto: "?"

He took several deep breaths before suppressing the urge to punch the traitor to death.

Glancing at Yamamoto, who was still furious, Asuka Akira cautiously said:

"Actually, there's no better way, is there?"

"When faced with a noble family that is high and mighty, one must either be assimilated or take the initiative to attack."

Yamamoto remained silent.

He was well aware of the pros and cons, and understood the meaning behind those words.

Having experienced similar trauma, Yamamoto was unwilling to let his disciples put themselves in danger again.

There must be other ways...

Chapter 106 The All-Round Genius, As Bright as the Moon

The 12th Division barracks.

A unique canteen for soul-stirring dining.

The two boys sat facing each other at the table, on which various kinds of food were piled up, shimmering faintly as if fluorescent agents had been added.

Ru Yueming glanced at it briefly and recognized a few of the most familiar items.

Golden Fried Rice, Jade Dumplings, Eight Treasure Rice, Magic Mapo Tofu, Grand Magic Mapo Tofu...

Very good, it was worth it for him to take good care of Aizen.

This table of food alone is enough to make all the hard work of traveling back and forth worthwhile.

Soon, the dishes disappeared at a visible rate, and the pile of bowls and chopsticks on the table, resembling a small mountain, looked particularly exaggerated.

After Ruyueming finished eating, Aizen looked at the stack of bowls and chopsticks on the table with surprise and asked in confusion:

"No appetite? You're eating so little?"

Upon hearing this, Ruyue Ming, who was still picking her teeth, let out a heavy sigh.

He then recounted his experiences in the First Division to Aizen, as well as his own thoughts.

After racking his brains, he finally came up with a good idea, but Yamamoto disagreed no matter what and threatened to break his legs if he dared to go.

Based on Ru Yueming's understanding of that old man, this statement was definitely not just empty talk.

This also resulted in a lack of enthusiasm throughout the day, and even less energy when cultivating.

So he came to the 12th Division not just to freeload a meal, but also to ask Aizen if he had any good ideas.

A thoughtful look flashed in Aizen's eyes.

He didn't know much about the nobles, but based on the current situation and descriptions, that group of people had indeed created the darkness of Soul Society.

It's like a swamp.

Aizen asked, "Do you know why Captain-Commander Yamamoto won't let you go?"

Ru Yueming pondered for a moment and said, "He said he was worried about my safety and afraid that something unexpected might happen."

Aizen nodded and began to explain:

"As the Captain-Commander who established the Spirit Arts Academy, Yamamoto has more than just Ukitake, Kyoraku, and you as his disciples."

"There were other disciples, but they all died in various missions due to their lack of strength, including missions such as undercover operations."

"He was worried that a similar situation would happen again, which is why he rejected the proposal."

Ru Yueming spread his hands helplessly and said, "Then what should we do?"

"Should we just sit and wait, and watch helplessly as familiar faces die in the struggle?"

Aizen said calmly, "It's actually very simple. Just do as you want."

"We just need to prepare for what to do if we fail."

"For example, what kind of fate awaits you once the other party discovers your true intentions?"

"With your abilities, even if you were attacked by a group of nobles, it would be easy for you to escape. The only thing you need to worry about is political targeting."

Even Szayelaporro couldn't kill Akira Kisaragi immediately, which shows how tough she was—something even Aizen would envy.

“Commoners from Rukongai, even if they become seated officials, will still be at a natural disadvantage when facing nobles.”

"Because they have no background whatsoever, and all members of the Forty-Six Chambers are members of noble families."

"But think about it carefully, do you really fit this description?"

After some prompting, Ru Yueming's eyes lit up: "Shifengyuan!"

As the 22nd head of the family, Yoruichi Shihouin has already made it clear that she wants to marry him. So, rounding up, there's no problem with considering the Shihouin family as his own, right?

They appear to be commoners, but in reality, they belong to one of the five noble families.

In terms of background, 99% of the nobles in Soul Society would kneel down and sing his praises.

Thinking of this, Ruyueming felt a surge of joy, patted Aizen's shoulder heavily, and laughed heartily:

"As expected of you, Sousuke."

"Your wisdom already bears some resemblance to mine."

Aizen: "?"

Why is this guy using such foul language?

In high spirits, Ruyueming had a hearty appetite and ate several bowls of rice before leaving the Twelfth Division.

They headed straight for the Second Division barracks.

In the executive room, Yoruichi, dressed in a black sleeveless backless shihaka outfit, twirled a calligraphy brush with her nimble, slender fingers, listening quietly to Akira's exaggerated narration.

"That's the situation."

Ru Yueming spread his hands, looked at the girl in front of him, and waited for her to speak.

"Ha, the Kichikawa family is trying to poach our Shihōin clan members. They really have audacity!"

Yoruichi sneered and waved her hand, "Go ahead and do it without worry. Shihouin is your strongest support. As long as you don't betray Soul Society, it doesn't matter how outrageous you go!"

Asuka Akira was overjoyed, never expecting Yoruichi to be so upright and fearless of her opponent.

Even though the Kichikawa family has that lord as their backer.

"By the way, who is that 'master' that Qichuan Caogen mentioned?"

As Yueming suddenly remembered this question, logically speaking, Yoruichi Shihouin, as one of the five noble families, should be very familiar with the inner workings of the noble families.

"You know the five noble families, right?"

Ru Yueming nodded, then shook her head.

He didn't care about these things; he only knew that Shihouin and Kuchiki were the five great noble families.

It seems there's also the Shiba family.

At this time, the Shiba family was in decline, even inferior to the upper-class nobles, and never participated in the struggle for power, making them a rare breath of fresh air among the nobles.
