There is a saying that "a thousand-mile horse always exists, but a bole does not always exist."

Throughout the ages, the unfortunate incident of leaving a pearl behind a wall has always been a common occurrence.

How easy is it to discover talents and explore the talents of others?

For ordinary people, it often takes a lot of energy and a long time to see through a person's true talent and learning - and the results may not be accurate!

Qingdeng doesn't have any trouble in this regard.

No matter what kind of person the opponent is, as long as you fight with him for 10 seconds, you will know whether he is an ordinary mediocre person or a person with special talents!

Unfortunately, each person can only copy the talent once.

As long as you fight someone once and copy the talent, no matter how many subsequent battles you fight with that person, you cannot copy new talents from that person.

For this reason, even Qingdeng, who has such cheats, cannot clearly see a person's full talents.

There is neither a lack of mediocrity nor outstanding geniuses in this world.

The most typical example is Souji and Boss Kiryu.

They are all monsters with several, or even dozens, of special talents!

Since a long time ago, Aomori has always suspected that in addition to the eternal talent "Hachiman of the Immortal", Boss Kiryu also possesses "Oni's Heart +9".

Otherwise, there is no way to explain how he learned and mastered so many strange skills.

As a member of the Shoeikan, Aoto naturally hopes from the bottom of his heart that the Showeijuan can continue to grow bigger and stronger and become the number one kendo gym in Edo... No! The number one kendo gym in Japan!

Therefore, he is happy to serve as Kondo Shusuke's "talent consultant" and provide him with a list of talents worthy of focusing on training in the future.

…

…

In the following days, Qingdeng lived a long-lost leisure time.

They are all going back to Kyoto anyway, so why not directly lead the new recruits from Edo and return to Kyoto together.

It will take some time for the new recruits to complete their preparations for departure.

So, Qingdeng, who had nothing important to do at the moment, simply took a short vacation for himself.

In Qingdeng's mind, his last vacation was already an extremely long time ago.

First, there was the world-famous "North Korea-Munuch Negotiation", and then there was the thrilling "Makui-ying Negotiation"... It was hard to catch up with the free time, how could we miss it in vain?

In recent days, he has been traveling around visiting relatives and friends, which is very uncomfortable, and he has been able to steal half a day of leisure.

Today I went to the Xuanwu Hall and the Little Chiba Sword Hall to meet with the seniors and dear friends of the Chiba family.

I'll go to the Fanshu Diao House tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow, I will go to the martial arts training center to show my face.

It is worth mentioning that when Aoto met Jutaro Chiba, as expected... this super girl immediately asked Aoto, "Tachibana-kun, how is Sanako? How are you two developing?"

?When do you plan to get married?"

Sanazi kept saying three words, like a machine gun, pouring firepower at Qingden "click-click-click".

In response to Chiba Jutaro's question, Qingto looked away guiltily and did not respond for a long time...

About 10 seconds later, he replied intermittently:

"Well... I really want to marry Sanako."

"I wish I could marry her today."

"But……"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chiba Jutaro, whose eyes were getting colder:

"But - you still can't let go of Mai Kinoshita and Souji Okita, right?"

"Well, yes."

Qingdeng changed his hesitant look just now, showed an extremely serious expression, and answered without thinking.

Only at this level, Qingdeng has extremely bold determination.

"..."

Chiba Jutaro stared at Qingden quietly, and then let out a sigh of relief.

"...Although I have said similar words many times."

"But I'd better take the trouble to say it again."

"Tachibana-kun, stop delaying!"

"Sanako is 25 years old this year."

"If she continues like this, she will become an old maid!"

"Ah, don't tell Sanako what I just said."

"If she hears it, she will definitely ignore me for a long time."

"I'll just tell you one thing - take care of yourself!"

"No matter what, I am also an older brother."

"If you keep bullying my sister and delaying my sister's life, I will not let you off lightly."

"Although I can't beat you, I have many brothers!"

"When the day comes that I have to draw my sword against you, I will bring my father, Brother Rong, Brother Dao, and Brother Duomen to beat you together!"

"Even if we can't defeat you, we can still leave deep scars on you for life!"

After saying that, Chiba Jutaro straightened his face and raised his eyebrows - it seemed that he was not joking with Aoto.

Facing Chiba Jutaro's showdown, Aoto couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Since entering Luo, all sorts of messy things have happened one after another, with almost no end in sight.

Just dealing with these chores, government affairs, and military affairs has consumed most of Qingdeng's energy.

Therefore, he has no time to take care of his own emotional affairs.

In other words, he and Sanako...no, not just Sanako.

The progress of his relationship with the three women is consistent - almost zero!

However, in the final analysis, there is little room for progress in his relationship with the three women.

Take Sanako as an example.

Sanako, who has a conservative personality, is not the kind of person who talks about words such as "love" and "like".

However, her feelings for Qingdeng have long been known to everyone.

From the night Aoto defeated the Shimizu clan...that is, from the night the two of them kissed in the street, everyone basically regarded Sanako as "Nioh's woman".

The Shinsengumi soldiers also regarded her as "the Shinsengumi's mistress".

For this reason, Sanako has always had an unusual status in the Shinsengumi - of course, in addition to the special relationship with Ayoto, a considerable part of the reason is because of her high strength.

The Shinsengumi are the military.

In the military, strength is the confidence to stand tall, and strength is everything.

People with good skills are popular.

People with outstanding achievements are those who can speak loudly.

Just because of his superb naginata and kodachi skills, no one who is short-sighted would dare to disrespect Sanako.

The culprit that stood between Qingdeng and the three women and prevented them from getting married was the damn shackles of "monogamy and multiple concubines"!

If "polygamy" were the norm in this world, then Qingdeng would have lived the beautiful life of "big family, big bed" that he dreamed of long ago.

The views on love and marriage in this era are relatively simple, and there will be no such nonsense as "long-term relationships and repeated pulls".

As long as the relationship is confirmed, you can get married quickly.

The three girls like Qingdeng, so they are all willing to marry Qingdeng - it's that simple, there are no other twists and turns.

However, they are very resistant to the so-called "multiple wives"...

In fact, as long as Qingdeng announces to any one of the three women: I have woken up! I will no longer daydream about "polygamy"! From today on, I am only willing to marry you!

Then, Qingdeng can get married to the other party immediately and officially start a family.

However...this kind of thing is not what Qingdeng wants!

Choosing one of them and giving up the others... Qingdeng really couldn't bear to do such a cruel thing...

However, it is undeniable that what Chiba Jutaro said makes sense.

We really can't delay this any longer.
To be continued...
