Going to See the Cheater

Only Sōken Ishida, Yoshizumi Ishida, and Ryūken Ishida remained in the Ishida Family's living room.

The silence lasted a long time.

Finally, Sōken Ishida broke the silence. His voice was low and hoarse. "Ryūken, what do you say... should we listen to Mr. Liu?"

Ryūken Ishida was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke. His voice was calm and firm. "I think we should listen to Mr. Liu."

He paused, then continued, "Just as he said, there are many vested interests involved in Soul Society. Once we step into it, they will unite against us. We will be doomed."

Sōken Ishida sighed, a sigh tinged with resentment, helplessness, and an indescribable sorrow. "Well, alright. From now on, we'll seal off the family."

Ryūken Ishida nodded, then suddenly remembered something. "Oh right, we still need to make some preparations. According to Mr. Liu, our ancestor will initiate the Auswählen in a few years."

Yoshizumi Ishida's face turned deathly pale. She looked at Ryūken Ishida in panic. "What about Ye Hui and the baby in her belly?!"

Ryūken Ishida looked at her, his eyes filled with reassurance and determination. "According to Mr. Liu, the child should be alright. It was Ye Hui and Masaki who were involved. However, he has already instructed us on how to deal with it. We should also take precautions against the Mixed-Blood Quincy in the family."

Yoshizumi Ishida finally breathed a sigh of relief, her panic gradually replaced by reassurance. "That's good, that's good."

Suddenly remembering something, a joyful smile appeared on her face, "By the way, Mr. Liu mentioned that our grandson is Uryū Ishida. Is he the child in Ye Hui's belly?"

Ryūken Ishida paused for a moment, then nodded. "Probably. After all, he's our only child."

Yoshizumi Ishida smiled happily, a smile filled with anticipation and longing, "Then it seems my grandson will be an extraordinary person. Even if he's not Pure-Blood Quincy, he'll still be unharmed under that person's Auswählen."

Sōken Ishida smiled too, a smile filled with satisfaction and pride, "Yes, yes."

Moonlight streamed through the window, illuminating the three people's faces and reflecting their hopeful smiles.

At this moment, Liu Ziyun had already arrived at the door of the Kurosaki Family's house.

He stood on the street, looking at the ordinary two-story building, a complex emotion welling up inside him. This was the home of the orange-haired boy of the future, the place where the Child of Destiny would change everything would grow up.

He thought for a moment, then leaped onto the roof, peered out the second-floor window, and looked inside.

Just then, a voice came from below. "My house has been burgled in Big White?!"

Liu Ziyun was startled by the sudden shout. He turned around and saw Isshin Kurosaki standing below, hands on his hips, looking at him with a mocking expression.

Before he could speak, the window in front of him suddenly opened.

A gentle voice rang out. "Since Mr. Liu is here, please come in and have a seat."

Liu Ziyun around and found Masaki Kurosaki standing by the window, smiling at him. Her face was filled with a gentle smile and her eyes were full of kindness.

Liu Ziyun jumped down sheepishly, scratched his head, and said with an embarrassed smile, "Oh, I just wanted to see your little one. I didn't mean to do anything else."

Isshin Kurosaki looked at him, a teasing glint in his eyes. "Your way of looking after the kids is quite unique, isn't it?"

Liu Ziyun smiled awkwardly, "I just wanted to take a sneaky look. I'm afraid someone will be watching me if I come in openly like this."

Isshin Kurosaki raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you put on makeup?"

Liu Ziyun paused for a moment, then nodded helplessly. "Uh... okay. Let's go in and see the future 'Cheat B'."

Isshin Kurosaki's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. "What 'Cheat B'?!"

Liu Ziyun quickly waved his hand, a fawning smile plastered on his face, "It means genius. Yes, yes, that's what it means."

Isshin Kurosaki looked at him with disbelief, but ultimately didn't press the matter. He turned and walked into the house. "Let's go, let's go inside."

Liu Ziyun followed behind him and entered this ordinary Japanese home.

In the living room, Masaki Kurosaki, carrying the child, approached Liu Ziyun. Her movements were gentle and careful, as if she were holding the most precious treasure in the world. "Mr. Liu, you've come to see the child, haven't you? Let me bring him over so you can see him."

Liu Ziyun waved his hand, a hint of panic in his gesture. "Ah, no need for that. You just gave birth, you need to rest properly."

Masaki Kurosaki smiled and shook her head, "It's okay. I'm much better now."

Holding the child, she walked up to Liu Ziyun and asked, "Mr. Liu, would you like to hold him?"

Liu Ziyun his hand again, his movements even more flustered. "No need, no need! I'm clumsy, just watch, I won't try."

He craned his neck, carefully examining the baby in Masaki Kurosaki's arms.

The baby's face was wrinkled, and some lanugo hadn't fallen off yet. He was fast asleep, his eyes closed and his little mouth slightly open.

Liu Ziyun murmured, a hint of disappointment in his voice, "There's nothing special about it."

Isshin Kurosaki chimed in, "What's so special about them? Aren't all kids the same?"

Liu Ziyun shook his head, a meaningful look in his eyes. "Your child is quite special."

He withdrew his gaze and looked at Isshin Kurosaki: "Alright, you've seen it all. Train him well, Isshin. I'll be going now."

Masaki Kurosaki quickly urged, "Won't you stay a little longer?"

Liu Ziyun shook his head. "No, thank you. I was just curious to see the child. I'll be leaving now, you don't need to see me off."

After saying that, he turned and left the Kurosaki Family.

In the darkness, Liu Ziyun, draped in Black Cloak, walked along the streets of Karakura Town.

The image of the baby he had just seen kept replaying in his mind.

That wrinkled little face, at that moment, seemed to shimmer with a certain dazzling light in his heart.

[Ichigo...] he thought silently to himself, [Grow up quickly. This world is still waiting for you to save it.]

He raised his head and gazed at the bright, clear moon in the sky.

The moonlight shone on him, illuminating his face, which was filled with anticipation and longing.
