Xiao Bing just looked inside and was about to leave when the door suddenly opened.
An old man was standing at the door.
First of all, the old man's face was full of wrinkles. His hair, eyebrows, and beard were all white. There was a sense of vicissitudes in his eyes, as if he had seen through everything in the world. From this point of view, he seemed to be more than 100 years old.
However, although he was only about 1.6 meters tall, he was very tall and straight. There was no sign of a hunchback at all. Moreover, he was full of energy and the aura on his body was also very strong. From this aspect, it could be seen that he was at most 70 or 80 years old, and his body and bones might be better than those in the prime of their lives.
The old man was wearing a gray robe, on which were painted the sun and the moon respectively. And there was a purple sword with a quaint aura hanging on his body.
As soon as the old man came out, Xiao Bing's eyes were attracted to him. He could actually feel a strong holy aura from this old man. Xiao Bing had only felt this kind of holy aura from the Vatican in Europe before, but this old man's aura was stronger and purer.
Xiao Bing raised his head. When they looked at each other, Xiao Bing's heart faintly trembled. The old man's eyes looked very calm, but they could capture people's hearts. Even a strong man like Xiao Bing could not control his mind for a moment. Xiao Bing had never encountered such a thing, nor such a person.
The old man spoke. His tone was light, but it had an extraordinary penetrating power. "Young man, what's your name?"
Xiao Bing came to his senses and hurriedly bowed respectfully. "I just came in from outside the palace. I'm the personal warrior responsible for protecting Princess Nami. My name is Aoki Ichiro."
"Oh? Protecting Nami? " A glimmer of light flashed in the old man's eyes, and there was a slight smile on his lips. "Nami has a good eye this time."
Xiao Bing was shocked. But when he thought about it, he had never shown any abnormality since the old man appeared. And although the old man was strong, and might even be stronger than him, if he deliberately wanted to hide his strength, he might not be able to see through it at a glance. So Xiao Bing deliberately pretended to be in fear and trepidation. "You must be Princess Nami's grandfather, Iza, right? I'm really flattered by your words. "
Iza Kawatani smiled faintly and said, "I just observed your talent. You are a diamond in the rough, and you will enter the Innate Realm sooner or later. Your psychological quality is also very good. Perhaps with the guidance of a famous teacher, your achievements are likely to be higher than my disciple."
Xiao Bing knew that the disciple the old man was talking about was his enemy, Feng XIII. Although he hated Feng XIII and did not take Iza Kawatani's words seriously, Xiao Bing still had to pretend to be very happy. He could not expose himself, so he could only find a way to disguise himself. Fortunately, Xiao Bing had so many years of experience in carrying out tasks, so he would not be seen through.
The old man was like a benevolent old man facing a junior. He faintly smiled and said, "Young man, let's go. You can stroll around the Kokyo, but don't go to places you shouldn't go."
"I see, Iza Kawatani predecessor." Xiao Bing turned around and left. When he was walking, he tried to relax, but he was still a little vigilant and nervous.
Just when Xiao Bing took five steps, Iza Kawatani suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
Xiao Bing stopped and asked without looking back, "Aoki Ichiro, right? How old do you think I am this year? "
Xiao Bing said truthfully, "Although your hair is white, you don't look old. You should be in your sixties or seventies."
"Alas." Iza Kawatani sighed, "But you don't know that I'm going to have my 100th birthday this year. It's really good to live a long life, but sometimes it's not so good. Life goes on like this, over and over again …"
Iza Kawatani's voice gradually disappeared, and at the same time, there was the sound of the door closing. But Xiao Bing did not stop at all and walked straight away.
Xiao Bing was actually very shocked by the appearance of Iza Kawatani, because no matter what kind of strong man he was, it was difficult for him to violate the law of human physiological development. For an old man after the age of 60, his body should begin to decline. Even if he was a strong man who could break through the void, he might be able to prolong his life for more than ten years. But no matter what, after the age of 70 or 80, he should quickly enter the decline period. But Iza Kawatani, at the age of 100, still seemed to have such a strong breath, full of spirit, and strong body.
In the history of Cathaysian State, Xiao Bing was one of the few legends who could still maintain their peak at the age of 100, such as Dharma Patriarch of the Shaolin Temple and Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of the WuTang Sect. Both of them were legendary figures. One was the founder of the Shaolin Temple, and the other was the founder of the WuTang Sect, which was second only to the Shaolin Temple. They were the two most prominent figures in the history of martial arts in Cathaysian State. Iza Kawatani might not be comparable to them, but he could still maintain such a state at the age of 100.
Iza Kawatani was worthy of the title of Martial God. Even Xiao Bing was not sure that he could defeat him. Such strength was simply rare in the world. Xiao Bing's heart sank. It seemed that he had to be careful this time. He could only use his wits.
Xiao Bing did not dare to stroll for too long. It was almost time, so he returned to the living room to avoid arousing suspicion.
When he returned to the living room, Fukuda Ogawa was sitting on a chair in a daze. When he saw Xiao Bing coming in, he stood up and bowed deeply to Xiao Bing. Then he said with a serious expression, "Mr. Aoki, thank you for your advice just now. I think I know what to do in the future."
Xiao Bing smiled, "Since you can figure it out yourself, it can't be any better. To be honest, you don't have to hate me. I may not stay with the princess for too long. "
Fukuda Ogawa was taken aback and said hurriedly, "Does Mr. Aoki think that I am not tolerant? If so, I can apologize to Aoki-kun. "
Xiao Bing shook his head and said with a smile, "I didn't say that I was going to leave now. I just said that I don't intend to stay with the princess forever. But Mr. Fukuda seems to like to stay, so I said that I will not stay with the princess for too long. After I leave, if the princess does anything inappropriate, I can only hope that Mr. Fukuda will say it. It's up to the princess whether to listen or not, and it's up to us whether to say it or not. "
Fukuda Ogawa said with a serious face, "Mr. Aoki, don't worry. If it really comes to that, I will definitely say what I need to say."
Xiao Bing nodded.
At this time, there were footsteps coming from outside, getting closer and closer. Soon they saw the maid who had just brought them here. After the maid came in, she first bowed to Fukuda and Xiao Bing, and then said respectfully, "Gentlemen, His Majesty the Emperor has arranged a banquet for the princess. Her Royal Highness wants you two to go together."
"Then let's go."
When they found the princess, the princess was talking and laughing with the Emperor. Seeing them coming, Princess Nami was a little happy and said, "You are here? Come with me to dinner later. "
"Okay." Xiao Bing agreed with a smile.
The Emperor glanced at Xiao Bing and Fukuda Ogawa and could not help but be a little surprised because the jealousy in Fukuda Ogawa's eyes was gone.
How could a person's state of mind change so quickly? The Emperor looked at Xiao Bing again. His intuition told him that it must have something to do with this man.
When he thought of his granddaughter constantly praising this young man named Aoki Ichiro, it seemed that it was right.
At this time, a servant came in and said respectfully, "Your Majesty the Emperor, Princess Nami, the banquet is ready. You can eat now."
His Majesty the Emperor said lightly, "Then let's go together."
They walked slowly into the dining room, only to see that the dining room was surrounded by maids. There was a round table in the middle, with at least 20 dishes on it, including meat and vegetables, and two soups.
Princess Nami and His Majesty the Emperor sat down, and the others all stood behind them.
Princess Nami pointed to the side, looked back at Xiao Bing, and said with a smile, "Sit down and eat with us. I just talked to my grandfather, and he agreed."
"This …"
Xiao Bing really did not want to show off too much, but Princess Nami just wanted to attract attention. In this way, it was difficult for others not to notice him.
Princess Nami smiled again and said, "Fukuda, sit down and eat."
Xiao Bing breathed a sigh of relief.
Fukuda hurriedly said, "Your Royal Highness, how can I accompany you to eat with His Majesty the Emperor?"
His Majesty the Emperor said with a smile, "Both of you are martial arts masters, but you can follow and protect Nami. This is very rare. Otherwise, you will be treated as distinguished guests no matter where you go. So don't stand on ceremony. Let's sit down and eat together."
Xiao Bing did not know what it meant to be polite. He said smoothly, "Then let's listen to His Majesty the Emperor. Don't stand on ceremony. Let's eat together."
"Well … Okay." Fukuda was also a little reserved. But since Xiao Bing had already agreed, he had no choice but to agree, no matter whether he thought it was appropriate or not.
After they all sat down, a maid came in from outside and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, Elder Iza said that he is resting and will not come for dinner tonight."
"Oh, I see." The Emperor was not angry. He nodded and said, "Then don't call Elder Iza. Nami, after dinner, you can go see your grandfather alone."
"Okay, I know."
"Well … Let's eat."
Everyone waited until the Emperor moved his chopsticks. Xiao Bing found that when Iza Kawatani was mentioned, even His Majesty the Emperor could not help but show some awe in his eyes.
It seemed that Iza Kawatani was indeed extraordinary. This was His Majesty the Emperor!
