"The head of the five noble families is the Tsunemitsu family."

"They are one of the five most populous noble families, with a large number of followers, and they wield a great deal of influence in the Soul Society."

"In terms of strength alone, the Tsunayo family is far superior to the other five noble families, including the Shihouin family."

With her arms crossed, Yoruichi openly recounted the secrets among the nobility to the commoner, Ruyueming.

For her, no one was more reassuring than the young man in front of her.

Besides, with Ru Yueming's quick wit, he might forget everything he said today by tomorrow.

"It is no exaggeration to say that most of the rebels were backed by other nobles, and the one supporting these other nobles was the Tsunayo family."

Yoruichi analyzed, "Do you remember the stronghold we wiped out last time?"

"After I got back, I looked up some information. The Kido that caused the head to suddenly explode was called Tongue Forbidden, and that is the secret Kido of the Tsunayo family."

"The mastermind behind the disappearance of souls in Rukongai is most likely the Tsuna-Yayo family."

"The rebel forces that assassinated you before, and even the fact that Souichi Shiro was imprisoned, may all have the shadow of the Tsunayo family behind them."

Ru Yueming nodded thoughtfully.

Yoruichi finally gave her conclusion:

"The lord that Kichikawa Kusakabe mentioned is very likely the current head of the Tsunayoshiro family, Tsunayoshiro Ansai."

"Infiltration is not uncommon among nobles; it can even be said to be one of the most frequently used methods."

Yoruichi changed the subject and began to impart her undercover experience: "What an undercover agent needs to do is gain the trust of the other party, because only in this way can you obtain evidence against the Tsunayo family."

"No noble family in Soul Society has a clean past, especially the five great noble families."

"Of course, the primary task is to ensure one's own safety."

The two talked all night, discussing many details about the undercover operation.

That day, as Ōmaeda Kinosugu gazed at the lights that had been burning all night in the executive office, he felt a chill run down his spine. He felt as if the little cabbage he had watched grow up was about to be eaten by a pig.

…………

Sixth District, the aristocratic district.

A magnificent and luxurious mansion, covering an extremely large area, is located deep within the region, surrounded by an exceptionally beautiful environment.

Kichikawa Kusakabe walked ahead, proudly introducing the scene:

"This is a mansion that I bought at a high price, specifically for gatherings of nobles. After that person learned about it, he praised me highly and even offered to promote the Kichikawa family to a higher-level noble family as a reward."

"Of course, I firmly refused."

"The Qichuan family lacks sufficient resources. It's not too late to promote them after they've accumulated enough assets in three to five hundred years."

"How is it? Not bad, right? This used to be the mansion of the wealthy merchant family, Zhicheng. It cost an astronomical sum to build it in the noble street."

"Even compared to the upper-class nobles, they are inferior."

"That lord said that once your noble status is approved, he will bestow this mansion upon you!"

"Lady Kisaragi, that lord values ​​you highly!"

Ruyue Ming looked at the huge mansion in front of her, then at the smug-looking Qichuan Kusakabe, blinked, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

They bought my house and then gave it to me.

If I think about it this way, wouldn't I have made a lot of money for nothing?

The business aristocracy of Zhicheng family, ×.

Business genius Ru Yueming, √.

It turns out I'm the real genius!

Asuka Akira belatedly realized that even Aizen was inferior to him in terms of wisdom.

"It's getting late, let's go inside and wait."

Kichikawa Kusakabe greeted them, "Once you arrive, sir, the banquet can begin."

The two entered the mansion together.

What comes into view are all kinds of simple and elegant buildings, spotless on all sides, which shows that Qichuan Caojie has put a lot of effort into this.

He really went to great lengths to please that person.

The reception room was filled with people, most of whom were dressed in luxurious clothes, but there were also guests like Ruyueming dressed in a death knight outfit.

During the banquet, people clinked glasses and chatted happily.

Just as Kichikawa Kusakabe was about to introduce the other nobles to Ruyue Ming, he suddenly realized that the huge person behind him had vanished in the blink of an eye.

When he finally spotted Ruyue Ming again, he saw her mingling among them, already chatting with a beautiful woman from the Utsunomiya family.

It's easy to tell from the girl's crescent-shaped eyes that the two were having a very pleasant conversation.

Great, that's exactly the kind of hobby a young person should have!

Qichuan Caojie not only had no aversion to this, but also thought it was a normal phenomenon.

Those who, upon joining your side, immediately display an upright and righteous demeanor, seemingly untouched by alcohol or women, are definitely harboring ulterior motives.

Only those whose true nature is revealed, like Ru Yueming, are easier to control.

"Lady Kisaragi, can you really tell a person's fate from their palm?"

Utsunomiya Wan smiled slightly and extended her fair right hand, palm up, to the boy in front of her:

"Thank you for your help."

"It's easy to talk about."

Just as he was kneading the smooth, slippery flesh, a majestic figure slowly walked into the reception room. Instantly, the entire room fell silent, and countless eyes focused on that person.

As Ru Yueming touched the other person's hand, he also took the time to observe them.

With a full head of silver hair, an aged yet dignified appearance, and sharp eyes, he gives off the vibe of a major villain.

More importantly, even if the spiritual pressure was deliberately concealed, Ruyueming could still clearly sense the threat emanating from the other party.

He's at least a third-rank Spiritual Might Death God.

Tsunayo Ansai stepped forward and walked straight to the head seat in the reception room, his eagle-like eyes scanning the people in the room.

When people meet his gaze, they instinctively bow their heads in respect.

In front of this great man, they were far inferior in both status and strength.

It wasn't until Tsunayoshiro Ansai noticed the boy touching hands in the crowd that their eyes met. The boy nodded in a friendly manner and then continued touching hands.

It was as if, to him, the head of the Tsunayoshi family, the most prestigious of the five noble families, was not as beautiful as the woman's hand beside him.

Tsunayo Ansai frowned deeply.

Qichuan Caojie stepped forward and respectfully said, "Lord Anzhai, that is Ruyueming, a disciple of Yuanliuzhai."

The old man nodded without saying anything more.

To him, Ru Yueming was nothing more than a pawn.

Having it would be a bonus, but not having it wouldn't hinder the progress of the plan.

Of course, it would be quite nice to cause some trouble for Shihouin and Yamamoto.

He was thought to be a genius who would become famous throughout the Soul Society, but unexpectedly, he too was corrupted by such external things.

Yamamoto, oh Yamamoto, your eyesight is failing you.

This kind of stuff was actually included in the Yuanliu.

How pathetic...

Tsunayo Ansai didn't say much nonsense. After saying a few simple words, he announced the start of the banquet again.

Soon, everyone began to indulge in unrestrained behavior again.

Drinking heartily, playing pitch-pot, reciting poems and singing...

Compared to the commoners struggling to survive in Rukongai, the lives of the nobles were extremely luxurious.

Tsunayo Ansai also joined in, but his gaze kept lingering on Akira.

For some reason, he felt that there was something wrong with the boy.

It's not that I doubt their true intentions, but rather that they're a bit too overly familiar.

Ru Yueming moved among the nobles like a husky mixed in with a pack of wolves, using the eloquence he had honed as a palace attendant to expose the wealth of each noble in just a few words.

The banquet lasted for quite some time, and it wasn't until dawn that Tsunayoshiro Ansai finally had his servants escort the intoxicated guests to their rooms to rest.

Now, only his loyal followers and— remained in the reception room.

As bright as the moon.

In fact, Akira also wanted to leave, but Kusakabe Kichikawa insisted on keeping him, saying that the master had an important task for him.

"Lord Kisaragi."

"Tsunayashiro-sama."

When the two first met, they exchanged pleasantries and superficially sincere words. After a few pleasantries, Tsunayoshi Ansai got straight to the point:

“I’ve already told you everything, and I will recommend you to become a new nobleman.”

"However, before that, I have a task for you to complete."

Upon hearing this, Ru Yueming patted his chest and readily agreed: "Please speak freely, sir. To achieve universal harmony, let alone one task, even ten or a hundred would be no problem!"

Tsuna nods in satisfaction. Whether it's true or false doesn't matter; his attitude is something his subordinates should learn from.

If we can successfully complete this mission, perhaps we can really try to get it into the core layer.

"Very good, very impressive!"

Tsunayo Ansai praised, "The mission is to infiltrate the 12th Division and obtain the Soul-Generating Technology that Hikifune Kiryu is developing!"

Upon hearing this, Ru Yueming's eyes widened...

Thank you to the generous donors Tianma Xingkong and Yi Nian Yongheng!
