Death: Captain Millennium

Not long after, Tetsuzaemon hurriedly invited Hibiki to the 7th Division.

At this moment, Xianghe's face was filled with joy that was hard to conceal, and he was in a very good mood.

His master was about to be promoted to captain! As Lin Yu's first and only apprentice, his status would also rise.

As soon as Xianghe stepped into the house, he saw Captain Kyoraku sitting there.

His heart skipped a beat. Oh no! Why was Captain Kyoraku already here? Could it be that... in the Master's eyes, Captain Kyoraku was even more valued than him, his own disciple?

Thinking of this, Xianghe's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal. He asked respectfully, "Master, you asked me to come here. Are you ready to take over the position of captain?"

"???"

However, upon hearing this, Lin Yu was bewildered, with countless question marks popping up above his head. He couldn't understand why Chunshui and the others didn't know his true intentions, and why even his own disciple, who was usually so close to him, like a father and son, would mistakenly believe that he was interested in taking over the position of captain?

Where had the so-called deep bond between master and disciple gone? Shouldn't Xianghe be standing on the same side with him without hesitation?

At this moment, Lin Yu felt his blood boiling, and he almost fainted from anger. He widened his eyes, glared at Xianghe, and shouted in frustration: "You little brat, are you still asleep? Captain? Me? Stop kidding! Haven't you heard the rumors flying around out there?"

"You're talking about that! That's what I did. What do you think, Master? Am I awesome?"

Xianghe said this with a smug look on his face, secretly delighted in his heart, thinking that he had made a great contribution this time, and his master would surely look at him with new eyes and praise him greatly.

He approached Lin Yu with a fawning look on his face, happily waiting for his master's praise.

Who would have thought that after hearing this, Lin Yu's blood pressure soared, and he was shaking with anger. He pointed at Xiang He and shouted angrily: "Evil disciple! You actually did it!!!"

Lin Yu had always believed that this incident was caused by Shan Ye. Although he was angry, he was also somewhat afraid of the other party's identity and could not react. But he never expected that the real culprit would be Xiang He, his apprentice whom he always loved and regarded as his beloved treasure!

What made Lin Yu even more furious was that Xianghe not only refused to repent, but also shamelessly asked him for credit and reward, even putting on an air of self-importance. Did he really think that he deserved praise for such a mistake?

When Xianghe caught a glimpse of Lin Yu's furious look, his heart skipped a beat and he cried out inwardly, "Oh no! This is really a big trouble!" A layer of fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead, and his hands and feet became a little flustered and at a loss.

I'm afraid I've really been too clever this time and ended up making things worse! His master didn't want to take on the position of captain at all and even expressed extreme resistance to it.

This was completely different from what Captain Yamamoto had said before! At that time, Captain Yamamoto had clearly told him that Lin Yu had actually coveted the position of Captain for a long time, but he just couldn't bring himself to ask for it. And Captain Yamamoto himself was thinking of retiring, so he specifically asked Xianghe to help spread the word.

"What should I do? What should I do? How can I calm Master down?"

Xianghe was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He kept muttering in his mind and racking his brains for a way to calm his master's anger.

Xianghe stood there, his brain working rapidly, thinking about how to make up for the mistakes he had made.

Just as he was racking his brains, Lin Yu, unable to contain his rage, instantly struck. He quickly unfastened the gleaming Zanpakutō from his waist and, without hesitation, struck Xianghe with a fierce blow. Today, he was going to beat Xianghe, this evil disciple, to death and cleanse his family.

"I told you to spread rumors! I told you to tell bullshit!"

Lin Yu's eyes were bloodshot, like an enraged lion, and his whole body exuded a ruthlessness that would not give up until he achieved his goal.

“Maru spicy!!!”

Faced with the fierce attack, Xianghe did not dare to be negligent at all. He dodged left and right nimbly, turning and moving constantly, trying his best to avoid Lin Yu's beating that was like a storm.

In an instant, the room, which was not spacious to begin with, became a mess. Tables and chairs were knocked over and over, and tea sets fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Lin Yu chased, Xiang He fled! The scene was like a fierce cat-and-mouse chase, so lively.

Xianghe was like a frightened rabbit, running away with all his might, but how could he escape? He had only run a lap or two before being caught up by Lin Yu behind him.

"Ouch..."

A shrill and miserable howl suddenly rang out, instantly breaking the silence of the entire room. The sound seemed to be able to penetrate the human soul and make people shudder.

He wanted to escape! But he couldn't!

No matter how he struggled, he could not get rid of Lin Yu's big hand that was holding him tightly like an iron clamp.

"Evil disciple! Evil disciple!"

Lin Yu roared in fury, his movements as fast as lightning, leaving a trail of blurry afterimages in the air. He lashed at Xianghe in front of him frantically, each blow bringing out a scream and a heart-pounding thrashing sound.

Lin Yu's anger had burned to the extreme. He originally thought that Rukia was enough to give him a headache, but who would have thought that Xianghe, whom he had always placed high hopes on and carefully cultivated, would actually stab him in the back.

Was it really because I had committed so many sins in my past life that I ended up meeting these two unlucky guys from the Kuchiki family in this life? Or was it because my horoscopes were incompatible with theirs, destined to be entangled endlessly?

"Ouch~ Stop hitting me! Master! Stop hitting me!"

Xianghe howled miserably while desperately dodging the rain of blows from Lin Yu. He never imagined that he would have such a day.

In the past, this kind of scene always belonged to Rukia! Whenever that little girl made Lin Yu furious, Xianghe would always watch her being severely punished by her master with a gloating look on his face, and then he would not forget to eat some melons and join in the fun with a smile.

As the saying goes, things change, and now he is the one who gets beaten! Thinking back to those happy and playful times in the past, Xianghe couldn't help but feel a bitterness in his heart.

At this moment, he only hoped that this nightmare would end quickly so that he could return to the position of a bystander who could watch the show easily.
