When a person was lying, fearful, or excited, their heartbeat and blood flow would accelerate involuntarily.
Ryuga's eyesight and observation skills were not bad, especially after comprehending the Transparent World. His observation skills had increased to a terrifying level. When he used the Transparent World, the other party's subtle physical reactions could not escape his observation at all.
Although Yagyuu Zongju's heartbeat had only accelerated for a moment, and then it had returned to normal. However, Ryuga had keenly captured that moment of acceleration.
On top of that, the reason why his heartbeat slowed down, through his [Transparent World] perspective, was because he was controlling his own body.
In other words, this person had taken the initiative to slow down his heartbeat.
"His expression did not change when he faced me, but his heartbeat suddenly accelerated when he faced Musashi?"
Ryuga narrowed his eyes and lowered his gaze. "It can't be love at first sight, right? Moreover, if it was love at first sight, it would be strange if his expression did not change when he saw me even though my charm has increased to such an extent."
After becoming a Ghost King, Ryuga's charm had reached the point where it was enough to move any creature, regardless of gender or race. If he walked on the street with the Transparent World, he would most likely see all the passersby's heartbeat accelerate when they saw him. Even animals might stare at him in a daze.
Not to mention that it was difficult to have any feelings at this age, even if Yagyuu Zongju had really fallen in love at first sight, the other party would most likely not be Musashi.
"This guy is indeed strange."
Although Ryuga thought so, he still did not do anything out of the ordinary on the surface. He suppressed the suspicion in his heart and did not look at the other party again.
Yagyuu Zongju, who was below, looked away very calmly after glancing at Musashi. Then, he rode his horse and left the long street with the army behind him, heading in the direction of Tianshou Pavilion.
In the hotel attic.
"Ugh …!"
Musashi had buried his head in front of the window and covered his face with his hands. He seemed to have thought of something, and he looked like an ostrich that said, "You can't see me, you can't see me." He made a shameful whimper from his throat, as if his dark history had been exposed.
"You know him?"
Ryuga looked at Musashi, her eyes full of curiosity.
"No, we can't say that we know each other …"
Musashi raised his head from the window, and an awkward expression appeared on his face. "When I traveled to a certain place before, I fought with that old man … But he should be someone from a different world, right? That's right, it's not me! It's not me! "
"Hmm … Could it be that you, Musashi, took the initiative to provoke him and then got beaten to a pulp?"
Tachika Fujimaru pondered over Musashi's character and made such a conjecture with uncertainty.
"What can I do? That's a genuine Sword Saint! Wu wu …! That's enough. Don't make me think about this anymore. It's too shameful! "
Musashi covered his head with his hands and covered his ears. Then, he squatted down in the corner of the room with a look of shame on his face.
How could he talk about something like this? He had rushed up to provoke the other party, only to be defeated in a few moves. Fortunately, he had activated his uncontrollable teleportation ability in the process to escape with his life!
It was simply a public execution.
Tachika Fujimaru and Yin Shun of the Treasure-house looked at Musashi with amusement.
Only Ryuga, after hearing Musashi's words, could not help but stagnate slightly.
Sword Saint?
The Sword Saint above Sword Master?
That Yagyuu Munetsugu?
"Opportunity."
This thought suddenly flashed through Ryuga's mind.
He was only one step away from breaking through the Realm of Tao. There was no reason for him to let go of this opportunity.
…
In order to ensure that they could get the information as soon as possible, they decided to stay in Earth City for a while.
During the day, they went out separately to inquire about information and returned to the hotel to rest at night.
In order to avoid causing too much burden to Tachika Fujimaru, Yin Shun of the Treasure-house decided to stay in the hotel and save magic power by minimizing going out as much as possible. He handed over the work of inquiring information to Fuma Kotaro. A ninja's ability in this regard was better than a monk's.
So, the night of this day came quickly.
Everyone returned to the hotel, exchanged information, had dinner, and returned to their rooms, took a bath, and went to sleep.
In the middle of the night, a pitch-black figure jumped out of the hotel window and landed on the ground silently without alerting anyone. Then, it quickly disappeared into the shadows.
Tianshou Pavilion.
After nightfall, 90% of the rooms here had already extinguished the oil lamps. The Chief Guard, the daughter, and the servants had all fallen asleep. Only two groups of samurai were patrolling outside.
Ryuga used the [Transformation] skill to transform into a tall and slender youth. Wearing a black cloth, with a super advanced concealment skill, she hid from the patrolling samurai and sneaked into the Tianshou Pavilion.
Inside the Tianshou Pavilion, even though most of the rooms were in darkness, there was still a light on.
It was a dojo.
It was the dojo used by Matsudaira and his samurai to practice their swordsmanship.
However, due to the arrival of an esteemed guest, the warriors could only retreat from the training hall and leave the training hall to the new esteemed guest.
The silver-haired old man, who was nearly seventy years old but still very energetic, was sitting upright in the center of the dojo. He wore the same simple, grayish-black samurai uniform as he wore during the day, and a sheathed saber was placed in front of him.
He silently closed his eyes and sat there without moving. He even tried his best to suppress his breathing as much as possible. It was as if he had fallen asleep, but the Sword Qi around him was still hidden and did not show any signs of letting down his guard.
This was an action called "sitting in meditation."
It could help the meditator understand their heart and expel their inner demons, allowing their heart, which had been affected by the clamor of the mortal world, to return to a tranquil state of "original nothingness."
The New Yin Style swordsmanship passed down by the Yagyuu family required an extremely high state of mind, and the way to train one's state of mind was to meditate. Through meditating, one's mind would return to tranquility, and only after training one's state of mind to the extreme could one comprehend the supreme mysteries of the New Yin Style.
This was a very typical swordsman.
Not only was his swordsmanship the benchmark for thousands of swordsmen, but his state of mind was also enough to make countless people sigh in admiration.
At a certain moment, he suddenly frowned.
Then, he opened his eyes and looked around the dojo.
"It seems that the safety of this Tianshou Pavilion is very problematic. A thief actually managed to sneak in."
He stood up from the ground, and the calm expression on his face did not change in the slightest. However, his gaze had already become vigilant. He looked around, trying to find the source of the uneasiness in his heart.
