After Matsumoto Takeyoshi heard this, his face revealed a difficult expression.
Other than Akatsuki, he really had no way to arrange a new partner for Ye Fan.
Now that the partners of each group had carried out a lot of missions, they had already gotten along well with each other and had a tacit understanding of each other. If one of the groups were to be separated at this time, the gains would not make up for the losses.
Moreover, the relationship between these experts and Ye Fan could be said to be like ice and fire.
Onigirō, Bamu Changqing, Shinichi Funakoshi, and Kamehameha. These people had similar temperaments with Ye Fan and regretted not meeting him earlier. They called each other brothers and got along very well. The blue-clothed man Kakashi Sato, Green-eyed Child, and Kato Nagato all hated Ye Fan to the core and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. Other than these people, the rest of the experts kept a distance from Ye Fan. They did not want to provoke him, but they also did not want to get too close to him.
Thus, Matsumoto Takeyoshi was in a difficult position.
He could not let those people who had a good relationship with Ye Fan become Ye Fan's new partners. If that happened, these people would very likely secretly help Ye Fan. However, he could not choose those people who had a bad relationship with Ye Fan to form a new partner. Otherwise, they would be eliminated by Ye Fan in a few days.
He had to find someone who had a grudge with Ye Fan and would not be easily eliminated by Ye Fan to be Ye Fan's new partner. Moreover, this person had to be able to get along with Ye Fan and be able to do things well.
After thinking about it, Matsumoto Takeyoshi looked at Chi Yao.
Far away on the horizon, close in front of him. Wasn't this Chi Yao a ready-made candidate?
This person had a grudge with Ye Fan, and it was rumored that Ye Fan had fought with this person over the Succubus in the Cuiming Hall.
Most importantly, this person's current cultivation was extremely high, and it couldn't be compared to the past. Even if it was Ye Fan who'd overcome the Heavenly Tribulation, it would be extremely difficult for him to eliminate this person.
The most commendable thing was that the two of them seemed to be getting along quite well. They could definitely form a new partnership.
"How is it? Mr. Matsumoto, "Ye Fan, who reeked of alcohol, smiled and asked Matsumoto Takeyoshi," Who's going to be my new partner? If it really doesn't work, then I'll just have to do it alone. "
"Everyone else is carrying out the mission with two people. How can I bear to let Bufan -kun work alone?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi replied Ye Fan with a smile, "How about this? Since Chi Yao -kun is also by himself, why don't the two of you form a partnership?"
"Brother Yao?" Ye Fan frowned and turned to look at Chi Yao.
He thought that Matsumoto Takeyoshi would let him form a team by himself, but he never thought that Matsumoto Takeyoshi would let him form a team with Chi Yao.
"Me?" Chi Yao was also stunned by Matsumoto Takeyoshi's words.
"Both of you are Han, and you get along very well. It's perfect for you to become a new partner. Hahaha … it's settled then." Matsumoto Takeyoshi laughed as he raised his glass and drank it.
He was very satisfied with his decision.
Ye Fan and Chi Yao looked at each other and didn't say anything.
"From today onwards, Miss Yue and Chiyo will form a team, while Bufan -kun and Chi Yao -kun will form a team. Come, I wish you two new partners a tacit understanding and a successful completion of the mission in the future." Matsumoto Takeyoshi refilled his glass and raised it to the four of them with a smile.
"Both of us thank Mr. Matsumoto." Chiyo Yamamoto held Akatsuki's hand and stood up from his seat as he spoke respectfully to Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
The moment Chiyo Yamamoto held her hand, Akatsuki, whose face was covered with a red veil, instinctively wanted to pull her hand out of Chiyo Yamamoto's hand, but after a moment, she didn't break free anymore.
She had already promised Chiyo Yamamoto that she would return to Japan to complete the marriage, so she couldn't reject him like before.
Chi Yao and Ye Fan also raised their glasses and toasted Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
"Cheers!" Matsumoto Takeyoshi said as he downed the wine in his glass.
The four of them raised their necks and drank the wine in their hands.
They were all drinking together, but their states of mind were completely different.
Akatsuki was sad, Chiyo Yamamoto was happy, Chi Yao was suspicious, and Ye Fan was in pain.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Matsumoto Takeyoshi put down his wine glass and clapped a few times with a smile.
The sound of a pipa, a zither, and a flute could be heard together.
More than a dozen beautiful dancers filed in from outside. After bowing to Matsumoto Takeyoshi, they began to dance to the beautiful melody.
These dancers had dark hair and heavy makeup. All of them were incomparably beautiful and delicate.
Their upper bodies were clad in sleeveless white beaded shirts, and their lower bodies were clad in light gauze miniskirts that did not reach their knees. Their soft waists were like dancing snakes, and their snow-white arms and shining white thighs were faintly discernible.
In the hands of these dancers, they each held a folding fan with blood-red cherry blossoms drawn on it. The folding fan opened and closed like a flying blood butterfly.
Green-eyed Boy and Sato Kawasaki looked at the dancers in front of them with lascivious eyes and kept swallowing their saliva.
Onigirō, on the other hand, tapped his chopsticks lightly on the white porcelain wine glass with interest as he followed the rhythm of the music.
Bamu Changqing lowered his gaze and drank quietly.
When the song and dance started, everyone began to relax.
Chiyo Yamamoto pulled Akatsuki's hand and stood up from the banquet. He said, "Come, Hong Ji, accompany me to make a toast."
"Make a toast?" Akatsuki asked Chiyo Yamamoto.
"I'm not familiar with these people yet. Help me introduce them." As Chiyo Yamamoto spoke, he picked up the wine pot on the table and placed it in Akatsuki's hands. Then, he picked up the wine cup and pulled Akatsuki away from his seat. He began to toast the experts one by one.
The experts did not dare to neglect and expressed their blessings to the two of them.
Soon, the two of them arrived in front of Onigirō and Bamu Changqing.
"Chiyo Yamamoto, this is Mr. Onigirō, and this is Mr. Bamu Changqing." Akatsuki introduced the two to Chiyo Yamamoto, "Not only are the two of them top experts with unfathomable cultivation bases, but they are also modest gentlemen, dragons and phoenixes among men."
"Yamamoto has heard of the two of you," Chiyo Yamamoto said politely to the two of them, "It is Yamamoto's honor to meet you today. We, husband and wife, toast to the two of you."
Akatsuki used the wine pot in his hand to fill Onigirō and Bamu Changqing's wine cups.
"Yamamoto is too polite." Onigirō said calmly as he looked at Akatsuki, "Miss Yue is truly a blessed person to be able to marry a person like Yamamoto."
Onigirō deliberately emphasized the words' blessed person '.
Akatsuki, who was under the veil, bit his lower lip and did not speak.
"Mr. Onigirō is too kind." Chiyo Yamamoto did not understand, and thought that Onigirō was praising him.
Onigirō smiled at Chiyo Yamamoto, but did not comment.
"I hope that the two of you will love each other and spend the rest of your life with the person you like the most." Bamu Changqing said indifferently as he drank the wine in his cup.
'The person you like the most', Bamu Changqing also emphasized.
Akatsuki's heart ached, and his grip on the wine pot became tighter and tighter.
"Thank you, thank you." Chiyo Yamamoto laughed foolishly.
The two of them took turns toasting all the experts, and even the white-clothed man behind Matsumoto Takeyoshi toasted. Only Chi Yao and Ye Fan were not toasted.
Chiyo Yamamoto took the wine pot from Akatsuki's hand, held Akatsuki's hand, and prepared to return to his seat.
However, just as the two of them passed by Ye Fan and Chi Yao's table, Chi Yao spoke.
"What is it? Aren't you two going to toast us? "Chi Yao raised his eyebrows as he looked at the two of them and said with a smile.
The two of them stopped in their tracks.
"Sorry, we don't have any more wine in our wine pot." Chiyo Yamamoto turned around and looked at Chi Yao and Ye Fan with contempt, and said, "Moreover, I don't have the habit of toasting to Han people."
Obviously, he was humiliating Chi Yao and Ye Fan.
In this cabin, only the two of them are Han people.
After Chi Yao heard this, he suddenly looked up at Chiyo Yamamoto, and his eyes instantly flashed with black light!
Pa!
With a crisp sound, the white porcelain wine pot in Chiyo Yamamoto's hand instantly shattered, and the fragrant sake inside suddenly splashed everywhere!
"Didn't Mr. Yamamoto say that there is no more wine in the wine pot? Hmm? "Chi Yao's mouth curved, and while smiling, he picked up the wine cup and slowly drank.
"You …" Chiyo Yamamoto, who was splashed with sake, was furious and was ready to attack!
"Chiyo Kun, forget it." Akatsuki pulled Chiyo Yamamoto's arm and said with a frown.
This was a public place, and in front of Matsumoto Takeyoshi and the other experts, Akatsuki didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
Chiyo Yamamoto, who was angry, turned his head to look at Akatsuki, and then suppressed his anger. He pulled Akatsuki's hand and prepared to return to his seat.
This was the first time he participated in a formal occasion since he came to the Great Ming Dynasty, and he didn't want to make things too ugly.
"It is said that the Japanese are polite and treat guests with respect. Now it seems, hmph, that's all there is to it." Chi Yao dragged out his tone and said with a smile, "A piece of rat poop spoils the whole pot of soup."
"What did you say? Say it again! "Chiyo Yamamoto suddenly turned around and loudly questioned Chi Yao.
Chi Yao's words completely angered Chiyo Yamamoto!
"I said a piece of rat poop spoils the whole pot of soup." Chi Yao laughed, "What? Is there something wrong with Mr. Yamamoto's ears? "
Chi Yao was well aware of Ye Fan's mood.
This silver-haired boy had a fire in his heart, but he had no way to vent it, so he could only drown his sorrows in alcohol.
Since this was the case, he would find an excuse for Ye Fan to vent his anger and set fire to him!
Moreover, this big fool in front of him didn't just humiliate the two of them, but the entire Han people!
If this kind of person didn't learn a lesson, he wouldn't know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was!
"Who are you calling rat poop?" Chiyo Yamamoto's eyes revealed a fierce light, and his figure turned into a shadow and stood in front of Chi Yao!
He lowered his head and stared at Chi Yao who was sitting in his seat, his eyes burning with anger!
"Chiyo Kun!" Akatsuki saw Chiyo Yamamoto use his movement technique and immediately walked over.
"Everyone here knows who I'm talking about. Only some people are still pretending to be stupid, as stupid as pigs." Chi Yao didn't even look at Chiyo Yamamoto, and said with a smile while drinking.
"Baka!"
After hearing Chi Yao's words, Chiyo Yamamoto couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and scolded angrily!
