Uchiha Hiko was stunned. Why had Ryudoji Yanlong changed so drastically all of a sudden?
Just moments ago, he had looked wary, but now he seemed so utterly unconcerned?
"Do I need to report everything I do to you?" Uchiha Hiko looked displeased. As he gazed at Ryudoji Yanlong, a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.
For some reason, Ryudoji Yanlong's emotions seemed to have affected his three subordinates as well. The fear vanished from their eyes in an instant, replaced by surging fighting intent!
"Didn't you promise before that you would no longer interfere in matters between me and the Soul Society?"
"What is this supposed to mean?" A hint of mockery appeared on Ryudoji Yanlong's face. Though he had never held much hope that Uchiha Hiko would truly stay out of this matter from the beginning, he said it now solely to disgust him.
Who would have thought that Uchiha Hiko would not only remain unfazed, but say with a serious expression, "If I remember correctly, I said that on the condition that Shizuku remained safe and sound!"
"Look! You've turned Shizuku into such an ugly, gigantic tree~"
"Can she still be considered safe and sound?"
After saying that, Uchiha Hiko pointed at the towering, pale tree in the distance that seemed to blot out the sky.
Disdain appeared in Ryudoji Yanlong's eyes. Even the three people behind him were thoroughly unimpressed by Uchiha Hiko's solemn nonsense.
What they had agreed upon that day was clearly that once Uchiha Hiko obtained Shizuku from him, he would no longer interfere in this matter.
In other words, as long as they handed Shizuku over to Uchiha Hiko, he could no longer involve himself in anything concerning the Soul Society and Ryudoji Yanlong!
They could only feel helpless in the face
