Daring to Cause Trouble in the Fourth Division?

The patrol members of the Tenth Division acted swiftly, transporting the seriously injured Ayakawa Hiko and others to the Fourth Division's base as quickly as possible.

In the following days, Wang Xun would go to the Fourth Division every day to stay by Unohana's side and provide follow-up treatment for the group.

Under the care of the Fourth Division, Ayakawa Hiko and the others recovered from their injuries very quickly. In just a few days, they were able to regain consciousness, but they were still weak and needed to rest in bed.

That night, the Fourth Division's ward was quite peaceful, with only the moonlight shining through the paper window.

The members of the Fourth Division patrolled quietly, their footsteps extremely light, for fear of disturbing the patient.

Just then, a dark figure quietly stepped into the ward and went straight to the bedside of Ayakawa Hiko and the others.

The man was dressed in the uniform of an ordinary Soul Reaper, his face somber. He leaned close to the hospital bed, his voice extremely low.

"Young masters, are you awake?"

Ayakawa Hiko froze, slowly opened his eyes, and the moment he saw the person, his pupils contracted sharply, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

He recognized the man; it was this man who had led them to Tokinada's room when they went to the Tsunayashiro Clan.

"The master sent me to check on you all, and also to remind you that you know in your hearts what should and shouldn't be said regarding this matter."

A cold smile curled at the corner of the man's lips, and the threat in his tone became increasingly obvious.

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the group.

"Behind you are your respective families; you should think carefully about the future of your families."

As he finished speaking, he slowly extended his hand, holding several pills in his palm.

"This was prepared by the adults for you."

Ayakawa Hiko and the others were deathly pale, trembling all over, staring intently at the few pills.

They understood; Tokinada was trying to kill them to silence them completely.

A nobleman's son trembled with fear and instinctively tried to back away, but he was bound by the hospital bed and could not move.

The shadowy figure's eyes turned cold as he reached out, intending to force the poison into the mouths of the group.

The sound of the door opening came abruptly from the ward entrance.

The shadowy figure shuddered and turned around abruptly, only to see a figure already standing in the doorway.

Upon recognizing the figure, his expression changed drastically, cold sweat beaded on his palms, and he instinctively wanted to run away.

The shadowy figure never expected that his actions would be discovered by Retsu Unohana.

Unohana watched the man's movements with great interest, her squinting eyes slightly opening a crack.

"How could anyone dare to come into the Fourth Division and pull such a dirty trick?"

"I really don't know if it's audacity or ignorance..."

With Zanpakuto, a massive gash appeared on the man's body.

Before he could even react, blood gushed out.

A ruthless glint flashed in the man's eyes as he bit down on the poison in his mouth.

The next moment, the dark figure collapsed heavily to the ground, lifeless.

A cold glint flashed in Unohana's eyes as she crouched down and examined him.

The next moment, several figures quickly appeared in the ward, their expressions solemn.

"Captain, who is this person...?"

Retsu Unohana waved her hand dismissively, her gaze sweeping over the corpse on the ground, her tone calm.

He swallowed poison and is dead.

Then, she touched the black pill in the man's palm with her Zanpakuto.

He turned to look at his teammates behind him, his tone indifferent.

"Clean this place up. Oh, and go call Wang Xun here."

"Yes!"

The team members responded in unison and went about their respective tasks.

The ward returned to silence, with only the sounds of cleaning and a few heavy breaths remaining.

Ayakawa Hiko and the others lay on the bed, their faces pale, their bodies still trembling slightly, their eyes filled with lingering fear.

The scene they had just witnessed lingered in their minds like a nightmare.

They looked at Unohana, the Fourth Division Captain, and wanted to speak, to say that it was all Tokinada's conspiracy, that Tokinada wanted to kill them to silence them.

But the words stuck in my throat.

The threat from Tokinada haunted their minds like a curse.

Behind them stood their respective families.

If they tell the truth, the Tsunayashiro Clan will surely retaliate, and the entire family will be doomed.

They lacked the confidence to resist, and also the courage to sacrifice their families.

In the end, the group silently lowered their heads, a hint of despair and resignation flashing in their eyes.

It seems that death is the only way for them to protect themselves and their families.

Just as they were feeling distressed, a familiar figure appeared in the room.

"Captain Unohana, you were looking for me?"

Wang Xun pushed open the door and entered, raising an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the bloodstains wiped away on the floor.

"Someone's here. You were right."

Unohana looked at Wang Xun, whose face showed surprise, but her expression remained calm.

"They actually dared to come... that's really brave."

Wang Xun, realizing that there seemed to be only one person who would target him.

As he spoke, Wang Xun looked at the people around him.

"Don't any of you have anything to say?"

Ayakawa Hiko and the others looked up at Wang Xun, their eyes filled with visible despair and numbness.

"Is it that you don't know, or that you're afraid to say?"

Upon hearing this, Ayakawa Hiko lowered his head, trembling slightly, and shook his head gently.

Wang Xun understood.

"In that case, let me introduce you to someone."

"Perhaps he can help you."

Upon hearing this, Ayakawa Hiko raised his head in a daze and looked at Wang Xun.

"You mean..."

The next day, someone gently knocked on the door.

As the door opened, a cherry blossom-colored cloak fluttered in the wind, and Shunsui Kyōraku appeared.

Looking at the people in front of him, he sighed softly.

"That Wang Xun kid, he's really good at causing me trouble. The Eighth Division's duties are very busy..."

"Oh, the children seem to be recovering quite well. I heard you have something you'd like to tell me, is that right?"

Wang Xun had no idea what was being discussed in the ward.

After Shunsui Kyōraku came out, he patted him on the shoulder, indicating that the matter was resolved.

Later, Wang Xun received a notification from Tessai Tsukabishi and came to the Kidō Corps again.

But he never saw Ayakawa Hiko and his group again.

Moreover, all the rumors and gossip surrounding him had vanished without a trace.

No one dared to talk about Wang Xun behind his back anymore, and no one deliberately ostracized him. The atmosphere within the Kidō Corps became unusually calm.

Their attitude towards Wang Xun also underwent a complete change.

All the past hostility vanished.

Instead, there is a subtle, almost imperceptible sense of awe.

On this day, Wang Xun was in a corner of the training ground, intently practicing Dual Incantation.

The Reiatsu at their fingertips intertwined, and the two different Kidō auras merged perfectly, smoothly and steadily.

Just then, a figure walked up to him and blocked the sunlight from the side.

Wang Xun stopped what he was doing and saw Tessai Tsukabishi standing in front of him with a gentle expression.

Tessai Tsukabishi sighed softly, patted Wang Xun on the shoulder, and said in a low voice.

"Wang Xun, thank you so much for this."

Wang Xun was slightly taken aback, then realized what he meant and shook his head slightly.

It was nothing.

He knew that Tessai Tsukabishi must have known about this incident, knew that he had saved Ayakawa Hiko and the others, and knew the intricacies behind it all.

Tessai Tsukabishi smiled, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

"From now on, you can focus on your cultivation within the Kidō Corps. No one will dare to say a word against you."

Wang Xun nodded and didn't say anything more.

Tessai Tsukabishi left.

After adjusting his state, Wang Xun began practicing Dual Incantation again.

In addition to the Kidō fragments he had previously absorbed, the guidance from Unohana and Tessai Tsukabishi, and the continuous practice over the past few days.

His mastery of Dual Incantation is becoming increasingly proficient.

Reiatsu flowed from his fingertips, the two Kidō auras intertwined perfectly without the slightest disorder, and the incantation flowed out fluently and swiftly.

The two different Kidō were released simultaneously, complementing each other to amplify their power, yet remaining precise and controllable without the slightest deviation.

As the last trace of Reiatsu dissipated, Wang Xun slowly opened his eyes, a look of understanding flashing in them.
