Yunyi looked at the phone that had already been hung up and sighed helplessly.
Xiaoxue's relationship with her family was far worse than his relationship with the Yun Family. Therefore, Yunyi wasn't surprised at all by her attitude. Of course, if it weren't for what happened back then, how could Xiaoxue have become his assistant, secretly helping him build power and recruit talent within the local area?
Putting away his phone, Yunyi looked at the furious Bear Girl in front of him and awkwardly scratched his head. Putting aside the girl's relationship with Xiaoxue, this was, after all, Xiaoxue's home, and he couldn't just kick her out.
After much deliberation, he finally decided to break the Kotodama Curse Bear Girl first.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Yunyi. You seem to have heard Xiaoxue mention me, right?" Yunyi said.
Bear Girl nodded, and after a moment of silence, she said, " Anna, my name is Anna Ilyich Yeselyn."
"I did hear Xiaoxue mention you, but didn't you break off your engagement with her? Why are you still at her house?"
"What do you mean by breaking off the engagement? Our engagement was never really finalized! When the two families were discussing the engagement, I had already left for the America, and she had also broken ties with her family and left the Qiao Family. It's just that the family, for the sake of face, still announced the engagement." Yunyi shrugged.
"So, neither of you agrees to this marriage?" Anna asked, puzzled.
"Why should I agree? There's no affection between us," Yunyi said.
Anna nodded. Although she still disliked Yunyi a little, since he wasn't trying to steal her girlfriend, there was no need to make things too tense.
"So you're going to stay here temporarily? In that case, can I take Girl Snow away?" Anna asked.
"Tsk, why do you make it sound like I've imprisoned her? She can go wherever she wants! But are you two really a couple?" Yunyi asked doubtfully.
"What, do you have a problem with that?" Anna retorted unhappily.
Yunyi waved his hand and said, "I have no objections, but since your relationship with Xiaoxue is special, why don't you help persuade her not to have too much of a falling out with her family? Although the Qiao Family forced her to join the army, her parents worked hard to delay it for a long time. Her engagement to me was just to use our family's influence to help her. Even if she hates the Qiao Family, there's no need to involve her parents."
Anna was slightly taken aback when she heard Yunyi say that. This was the first time she had heard about Xiaoxue's family, so she naturally took it all in.
"I understand. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now." Anna waved her hand.
Suddenly, she remembered something, picked up the things that had fallen at her feet, and handed them to Yunyi, saying, "I'll have Girl Snow go directly to my place; you can keep these."
Yunyi took the things Anna handed him, opened them, and glanced at them. His expression froze. Good heavens, you two girls, are you going to eat so many snacks?
Anna didn't care about Yunyi's reaction; she waved and left. Yunyi tossed his things on the coffee table in the living room, turned around, went back to his room, and collapsed onto the bed to continue his nap.
Japan.
The Yotsuba Family's attitude towards Yunyi was basically settled after Maya Yotsuba Tatsuya Shiba, and Miyuki Shiba met. However, the other families of the Ten Master Clans still had considerable differences. But this matter was not brought to the forefront for the time being, so each family was only making some moves in secret.
The Japan military is most concerned about this matter. They are eager to bring Yunyi under their control, but now they can't even find a trace of him, let alone meet him in person!
In the military's mind, if they couldn't find Yunyi, they would naturally look for people connected to him. But Yunyi had already replaced the entire Liu Family in Japan with his own people, so how could they possibly expose Yunyi's whereabouts? Of course, they didn't know yet that Yunyi had already returned to the United Nations.
Unbeknownst to the Liu Family, the military had shifted its attention to Yunyi's girlfriend. However, their attempt to contact the Saegusa Family ultimately failed.
Koichi Saegusa? How could that old fox possibly expose his tail to these people and give them something to hold against him? As for Mayumi Saegusa did see her, but this young lady only rested at home for one night before returning to Yunyi's house. After going in, she never came out again, driving those who were following her crazy.
"Boss, Liu Yunyi isn't home at all! But the young lady from the Saegusa Family went in and hasn't come out. What can we do? You can't expect us to just go and visit her, can you? If we anger her girlfriend, how are we supposed to talk to her in person?"
Listening to the report from his subordinates, the officer in charge of contacting Yunyi was somewhat helpless. He had originally thought it was a cushy job, but they had already been rebuffed three times with both force and persuasion, which was quite a miserable experience.
Frustrated as they were, they had to endure it, because Yunyi's revealed strength was something they couldn't ignore. Unfortunately, even if they guarded Yunyi's house 24/7, they were destined never to see him.
Unlike the soldiers who were sent to directly contact Yunyi, the Independent Magic-Equipped Battalion also wanted to make contact with Yunyi. Instead of taking immediate action, they first approached Tatsuya Shiba, hoping to obtain some information about Yunyi from him.
Unfortunately, this time Tatsuya Shiba resolutely refused the request for cooperation. Even though Harunobu Kazama on military orders, he still couldn't get any information about Yunyi from Tatsuya Shiba.
At this Harunobu Kazama was communicating with his teacher, hoping to obtain some useful information. Upon learning his "purpose," Yakumo Kokonoe's ever-present smile vanished.
" Kazama, give up. That child is beyond your magnanimity. If you know too much, you'll end up like me, remembered by him, ready to be eliminated at any time."
Upon hearing Yakumo Kokonoe's words, Harunobu Kazama was stunned for a moment. By the time he came to his senses, the call had already been disconnected.
Just then, the door to Harunobu Kazama's office was pushed open, Kyoko Fujibayashi walked in. Upon seeing her, Harunobu Kazama immediately asked, "How is it?"
"Two pieces of bad news," Kyoko Fujibayashi said. "First, Liu Yunyi's whereabouts were not captured by any cameras. I investigated all the surveillance footage along the route from the Saegusa residence to his house and was able to rule out the possibility of it being tampered with. Therefore, if Liu Yunyi is not being hidden by the Saegusa Family, he must have left through some unknown means."
"Oh? And what's the second piece of news?" Harunobu Kazama asked.
" The Yotsuba Clan, Saegusa, Kudou, and Jumonji families almost simultaneously sent documents requesting the National Defense Force to maintain a rational judgment in its attitude towards Liu Yunyi."
