Departure

Meanwhile, Ye Yang was leisurely drinking tea in the Second Division Captain's office, seemingly oblivious to the outside world. His only concern was whether Urahara and his group could successfully reach the World of the Living.

Just then, the door to the captain's office suddenly opened, Soi Fon rushed in looking flustered. Ye Yang asked, "What's Shaoling? Why are you so flustered?"

Soi Fon's eyes were filled with anxiety. "Brother Ye Yang, you know that Kisuke Urahara has defected, right?"

"Yeah, why are you concerned about this?" Ye Yang asked, remembering that she didn't like Kisuke before, so why was she asking about him?

"It's not him, it's Lady Yoruichi. I looked for her today Lady Yoruichi hadn't returned yet, but I couldn't find her anywhere she usually goes. It just so happens that Lady Yoruichi out yesterday, and Kisuke Urahara had his accident yesterday. I'm worried that Lady Yoruichi might go looking for him," Soi Fon said worriedly.

Ye Yang was startled, not expecting Soi Fon to have guessed it already. However, Ye Yang didn't interrupt but listened to Soi Fon continue, "Brother Ye Yang, I know you and Kisuke Urahara are good friends, so you couldn't possibly not know about them. Brother Ye Yang, tell me, where exactly is Lady Yoruichi? Please don't say they've already left. If Lady Yoruichi had left, the Central 46 couldn't possibly not know, so they must still be in Soul Society, right?"

Soi Fon said in a pleading tone, "Brother Ye Yang, please let me see Lady Yoruichi, I beg you." Soi Fon bowed.

Ye Yang had to admire Soi Fon's thinking ability. She had managed to guess most of the situation from the smallest clues. Looking at Soi Fon's eager eyes, Ye Yang couldn't help but recall the first time Soi Fon met Yoruichi, when she wanted to refuse but couldn't bring herself to say it.

After pacing back and forth a few steps, Ye Yang asked her, "Shaoling, you didn't tell anyone else about your deduction just now, did you?"

"No, I came to find you, Brother Ye Yang, after thinking about all this. Please let me see Lady Yoruichi no matter what." Soi Fon was still insisting on seeing Yoruichi.

Ye Yang knew that the reason Soi Fon wanted to kill Yoruichi was because Yoruichi had left without a word. Ye Yang didn't want that to happen either, so he said, "Alright, I'll take you to see her."

Soi Fon's face immediately lit up with excitement. "But you have to promise not to tell anyone, and that no one can know?"

Soi Fon nodded to indicate she understood. "Follow me and follow my instructions."

After saying this, Ye Yang got up and walked out. Soi Fon quickly followed. To take care of Soi Fon, Ye Yang deliberately slowed down. Soon they arrived at the entrance of the underground base. Sure enough, Ye Yang found several layers of barriers at the entrance. Although it was a bit troublesome, it was no problem for Ye Yang. In a short while, Ye Yang led Soi Fon through these layers of barriers.

Ye Yang placed his hands on Soi Fon's shoulders and said, "Wait here for now. I'll let you out later, then you can go back in, understand?"

"Yes, Brother Ye Yang."

After saying that, Ye Yang Shunpo rushed to Urahara others' location. Although they had concealed their Spiritual Pressure, without the obstruction of these layers of barriers, and because Ye Yang was too familiar with their Spiritual Pressure, he quickly determined their location.

"Someone's come in," Tessai Tsukabishi said, alerting Urahara. Actually, Urahara had already sensed Ye Yang's arrival the moment he entered. Beside them, a black cat suddenly spoke in a man's voice, "It's alright, it's Ye Yang."

Urahara looked at the black cat with a strange expression. "Yoruichi, seeing you like this and hearing your voice is really strange."

It turns out that the black cat was actually Yoruichi in disguise. This is a special effect of her Zanpakuto; after transforming into a black cat, only those who know her very well would recognize her, and she can completely hide her Spiritual Pressure.

The black cat licked its front paws, saying, "It's not like I haven't seen this before. What's so strange about it?"

Ye Yang arrived just then. "Yo! Kisuke, are you done yet?"

"Yes, are you here to see us off?" Urahara asked.

At this moment, Yoruichi, who had transformed into a black cat, said, "Didn't you tell us not to call you? Why did you come here yourself?"

Ye Yang looked at the black cat version of Yoruichi with great interest. "Sis, you really have a connection with cats. But coming to see you today is only one reason; the second is that someone wants to see you."

Yoruichi the black cat raised her front paw and asked, "See me? It can't be..."

"Yes," Ye Yang suddenly raised his voice, "Shaoling! Come out!"

When Urahara saw that Ye Yang had brought Soi Fon, he quickly said, "It's best not to let her know about this. Let's avoid her for now." After saying that, he led Hirako to hide. Hirako and the others still did not wake up, so Urahara and Tsukabishi took them away together.

Soi Fon arrived quickly, but there was no one there, only Ye Yang and the seemingly inconspicuous black cat. Soi Fon asked in confusion, "Brother Ye Yang, didn't you bring me to see Lady Yoruichi? Why is no one here?"

"Yeah," Ye Yang shrugged, pointing at the black cat, "Isn't this it?"

"Brother Ye Yang, please stop joking," Soi Fon said anxiously.

"Who's joking with you?" Ye Yang pulled out a piece of clothing from somewhere and threw it at the black cat, covering it up. Suddenly, the black cat, Yoruichi, emitted a blinding white light, forcing people to cover their eyes. After the light faded, Yoruichi transformed back into human form, wearing the clothes Ye Yang had just thrown at her. "Yo! Soi Fon, long time no see."

Soi Fon stared in astonishment at the scene before her. "Lady Yoruichi... what's going on?"

Ye Yang patted Soi Fon's head. "Never mind that. You can think of it as one of her abilities. Just say what you want to say."

Soi Fon immediately pounced on Yoruichi, "Lady Yoruichi..."

Yoruichi stroked Soi Fon's soft hair and pulled her into his arms. "Soi Fon, don't say anything. Since your little brother brought you here, I won't hide it from you anymore. I'm leaving now."

"Where are you going, Lady Yoruichi?"

" In the World of the Living! The Soul Society has sentenced Kisuke to death, but he was rescued from the Central 46. He can no longer stay in the Soul Society," Yoruichi said calmly.

"What!" Soi Fon couldn't believe it. Her Lady Yoruichi, would actually defy the orders of the Central 46 for Urahara's sake. "Why would Lady Yoruichi do this?"

Yoruichi said softly, "I don't know why, but that's how it is now, and I have no choice but to leave."

Soi Fon could no longer hold back her tears. "Is Lady Yoruichi going to abandon Soi Fon? Just for that man?"

"I never intended to abandon you, but now I have to go to the World of the Living, Soi Fon. You don't understand yet, but I will definitely come back to find you in the future," Yoruichi comforted her.

"Really?"

"Really," Yoruichi, hugging Soi Fon. "I'm sorry! Soi Fon, go to sleep!" As she hugged Soi Fon, she delivered a karate chop to the back of Soi Fon's neck, knocking her unconscious.

Ye Yang couldn't help but smile wryly. Did they really have to resort to this method? Yoruichi carried the Soi Fon to Ye Yang: "Take good care of her."

He nodded, but didn't know what to say. Just then, Urahara came out from behind and said to them, "Yoruichi, time is almost up."

"Understood," Yoruichi replied.

Ye Yang: "Are you leaving?"

"Ah," Yoruichi uttered a single word, barely managing to control her emotions.

Ye Yang could only force a smile, "Take care on your journey."

Urahara had already opened the Senkaimon. Ye Yang and Yoruichi walked to the Senkaimon, Urahara said, "Ye Yang, why don't you come with us? Aizen knows about your relationship with us, and you'll definitely be his next target. It's not safe for you here."

Ye Yang pouted. "Don't ask me if I'm worried. I wasn't there that night, and it wasn't me who went to save you. Besides, Yoruichi left, I became the head of the Shihoin Clan. They can't do anything to me. And besides, there's still her, isn't there?" Ye Yang pointed to Soi Fon in his arms.

Urahara had only made a suggestion and hadn't held out much hope. "Alright, I won't say anything more. Take care!"

"Etc!"

Urahara turned around. "Is there anything else?"

Urahara smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of her."

At that moment, Yoruichi, who had transformed into a black cat Yoruichi, pounced into Urahara's arms and said, "What are you saying? It's like I can't take care of myself. I'm very strong, aren't I, Kisuke?"

"Yes... yes..." Urahara replied.

Ye Yang added, "If she loses even a single hair, I'll hold you responsible."

Urahara had already brought Yoruichi to the Senkaimon, when suddenly a playful smile appeared on Urahara face, "We'll talk about it when you get to the World of the Living." With that, he stepped into the Senkaimon without looking back, leaving only his back view.

Tessai Tsukabishi led Hirako and the others to the Senkaimon, when Ye Yang suddenly said, "Mr. Tsukabishi, please wait a moment."

Tsukabishi around and looked at Ye Yang strangely, asking, "Is there something you need Lieutenant Ye Yang?"

"Oh, is that so?" Ye Yang said with a smile, "Please keep track of how many times Urahara has spoken ill of me since he came to the World of the Living. If it's convenient, could you please write it down?"

Tsukabishi adjusted her glasses with her right hand. "Absolutely no problem Lieutenant Ye Yang."

"Thank you, take care on your journey!" Ye Yang said.

Then, Tsukabishi led Hirako into the Senkaimon. As the Senkaimon closed completely, Ye Yang smiled slightly. "Kisuke until I reach the World of the Living, I'll make you regret saying those words..."

Urahara, who was in the Dangai, suddenly sneezed for no apparent reason. Yoruichi asked, "What's wrong, Kisuke?"

"It's nothing," Urahara muttered to himself, rubbing his nose. "Could someone be eyeing me? Did I say something wrong...?"
