"How are we going to get out of here? Do you have any idea?"
I turned back to Yami and asked.
"Of course, this canine tooth can transport us to the outside world."
Yamei smiled and asked me to stand in the middle of the river. She held the canine fangs in her hands, closed her eyes tightly, and silently recited a chant.
Soon, I felt the river became more and more rapid, and suddenly a huge wave hit me, and then a white light flashed in my sight.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself standing in a wilderness, surrounded by ruins and ruins.
This is the tunnel where we met Master Bachi before, but now, the entire tunnel has completely collapsed, and Master Bachi has gone to no one knows where.
I glanced around and saw Yami standing in front of a broken wall, clasping her hands together as if praying for something.
As she prayed, a mark gradually appeared on the remaining wall, which seemed to be a door.
Yamei inserted her canine teeth into the keyhole of the door and turned it gently. With a snap, the door opened, and golden light poured out from inside.
"Yami, what are you doing..."
I asked with some curiosity.
"Brother Cheng Yi, there is a secret room inside this door. There is something I have been looking for. Please wait for me outside for a while, okay?"
Yamei's beautiful eyes flashed and she said to me leisurely.
Under her gaze, I nodded unconsciously and stood there obediently.
When she reached the door, Yami suddenly stopped and looked back at me again.
"Brother Cheng Yi, after this is over, can you stay with me?"
I was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What are you talking about? After this is over, I have to send you home quickly, otherwise your brother should be anxious."
A trace of loneliness flashed in Yamei's eyes, and then she smiled and walked straight into the golden secret room.
As Yamei walked into the secret room, the door closed automatically with a creak, and the mark of the stone door on the remaining wall gradually disappeared and returned to nothing.
I just stood there, quietly looking at the remaining wall, waiting for Yamei to come out.
Ten minutes later, ripples rippled on the remaining wall, and the mark of the stone door appeared again. As the stone door opened, Yami slowly walked out of the secret room.
Her long hair was fluttering, her brows were cold, and her whole temperament seemed to have undergone a radical change.
If you look carefully, you can see that there is a green jade ring on the middle finger of her left hand, which is emitting green light.
"Did you get what you were looking for? It's time for us to go back."
I didn't show any surprise at Yamei's change, I just told her calmly.
Yamei's cold eyes swept over me again, her expression a little complicated.
"Brother Cheng Yi, let me ask again, are you really not willing to stay with me all the time?"
I waved my hand and said, "Don't be joking. Go back and tell me about the Yasuda family. Let's go back to our respective families. I still have business to do."
"well……"
Yami sighed, and his expression suddenly turned cold.
"Since you don't want to accompany me, then I'm sorry!"
As she spoke, she flicked her fingers, and suddenly, the ground shook violently. Several thick wooden pillars suddenly grew around the ground centered on me, forming a cage, trapping me inside.
The wooden pillars were covered with sharp barbs and intertwined teeth, making them impossible to touch.
"Yami, what are you doing?"
I didn't show much panic, I just frowned and asked.
"Brother Cheng Yi, thanks to your help along the way, I was able to successfully obtain the family's jade ring and become the leader of the Yasuda family."
Yamei said calmly: "It's just that the location of this jade ring is the top secret of our family. Since you are unwilling to return to the family with me, I have no choice but to keep you."
Although I had expected it, I still felt shocked when I heard Masami say that she was from the Yasuda family.
"As expected, if I guessed correctly, you should be Masami Yasuda, the sister of Ichiro Yasuda, the head of the Yasuda family, right?"
Yamei looked at me playfully: "Brother Cheng Yi, I really underestimated you. You are smarter than I thought."
"However, from now on, the position of the head of the Yasuda family will change hands."
"I'm very curious. When did you first guess my identity?"
I smiled and said, "Actually, from the moment I saw you in the izakaya, I didn't regard you as an ordinary tavern owner."
"Although your rhetoric is very reasonable, it cannot withstand careful consideration. It is impossible for a person who has nothing to do with the Yasuda family to open such an izakaya near the Yasuda family's manor."
"Since then, I have suspected that your background is unusual, but I have not guessed your specific identity."
"But later, you mentioned that you had an older brother who was strict with you. I happened to think that Ichiro Yasuda also had a younger sister, but she never showed up."
"Since that time, I have already suspected that you might be Yasuda Ichiro's sister."
"I didn't want to believe this idea of mine, but unfortunately, you finally revealed your identity step by step."
After a pause, I continued: "I still have a question. Didn't you say that you have a deep affection for your brother? Why are you competing with Ichiro Yasuda for the position of the head of the family?"
Yasuda Masami laughed: "Yes, my brother is indeed very good to me, but frankly speaking, he is not qualified to be the leader of the family."
"Conservative, stubborn, and ignorant of flexibility, the Yasuda family has lost a lot of territory in the two years under his leadership. If this continues, it won't be long before our Yasuda family will completely degenerate into a second-rate family."
"I also have the blood of the Yasuda family flowing through my body. I must never see the Yasuda family reach this stage!"
"The jade ring is a sacred object left by the ancestors of the Yasuda family. Only by obtaining this sacred object can you truly become the leader of the family. From now on, the Yasuda family will enter glory under my leadership!"
Yasuda Masami gave me a deep look: "Brother Cheng Yi, I really don't want to kill you, but I'm sorry, anyone who can't be used by me is the enemy of the Yasuda family."
"To deal with an enemy, you can only destroy them physically."
After saying that, Yasuda Masami snapped her fingers and called out a name.
"Eight feet!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was only a bang, and a huge figure emerged from the ruins of the wall and prostrated in front of Masami Yasuda with an extremely respectful attitude.
I noticed that Hachisha kept staring at the ring on Yasuda Masami's hand, with deep fear in his eyes.
"Hachiku is the guardian of the sacred objects of my Yasuda family. When I see this sacred object, I still see the owner."
