Chapter 358 - Keep Testing (2/2)

“Yes.”

“Do you think the art of sabers is the same as the art of swords?”

Xiao Bing pondered for a moment and said, “There are similarities and also differences.”

“Good. You can start practicing in my room. I’ll have a talk with my granddaughter first, then I will come to you.”

Xiao Bing rose to his feet and left. Princess Nami did not stop him. It was inconvenient for her grandfather to talk to her if Xiao Bing was here.

The moment Xiao Bing walked out, Iza Kawatani exhaled. It was said that the older a man is, the shrewder he is. Xiao Bing found this to be true. Iza Kawatani could see through a man from any aspect. If Xiao Bing was not meticulous enough, his efforts would go to waste.

He felt lucky that he was to stay in the Koyoko tonight, instead of the Hall. Otherwise he might get into trouble during his search for Gods’ Blood. Though the Koyoko was well-guarded, Xiao Bing was not allowed to go out. The real problem for him was this old man in the Hall of Martial Gods.

Xiao Bing walked out of the practicing room before he realized it. When he thought that he was asked to wait for the old man inside the practicing room, Xiao Bing wondered if this Iza Kawatani was truly obsessed with martial arts, or he thought others were just like him. Normally, the host would make tea for his guests. But this old man asked him to practice martial arts.

Though this man was old, Xiao Bing did not think he was obsessed with it. He believed that there was a reason behind it.

The moment Xiao Bing had left, Princess Nami instantly trotted towards Iza Kawatani, and sat behind him. She kissed on his face and chuckled, “Grandpa, I miss you so much.”

Iza Kawatani smiled, “Then you should come here more often… Alas, I’m almost 100 years old. I don’t know how much time is left for me. Now my biggest wish is to see you getting married and have a child of your own.”

Princess Nami sounded awkward, “You’re still strong. I believe you can live for another 100 years.”

Iza Kawatani grinned, “Silly, won’t I be a demon if that’s true. Unless my power can advance… But that’s not easy.”

The level of immortality was a rather high level. No one had reportedly reached that level. It was something Iza Kawatani had been aspiring for his whole life.

Every time he made a progress, Iza Kawatani would find it hard to reach another level of progress.

Iza Kawatani suddenly said, “That Aoki Ichiro, you seem to like him…”

Nami did not deny it. “Yes, he’s different from other men. I will not marry anyone, unless it’s him. But he doesn’t seem to like me.”

Iza Kawatani asked in surprise, “You wanted to date him, but he rejected you?”

“Yes. Grandpa, don’t you think he’s strange. There are so many men who want to marry me, but none of them interests me. And I don’t know if he has cast a spell on me, because I love him from the bottom of my heart.”

Nami seemed happy, “Though he has not agreed, I believe that he’ll be mine one day. Grandpa, if that day comes, will you give us your consent? I want to marry this man!”

Iza Kawatani asked, “You are the goddaughter of the emperor, which means that you’re one of the royal family. What if they don’t agree with your marriage.”

Nami said stubbornly, “I’ll decide my own fate. If they don’t agree, I will renounce the title of princess, and run away with my man.”

Iza Kawatani shook his head, “Run away with him? How immature you are. You are a spoiled kid. If you don’t have these maidens to serve you, you’ll soon be eager to come back.”

Princess Nami was well aware about that. She pouted and said obstinately, “What should I do then? Grandpa, at least you’re on my side, aren’t you?”

Iza Kawatani seemed to be pondering. Then a flash of light appeared in his eyes. “If he truly is a sensible and reliable man, I would love to help you with it. I suppose that the royal family will not defy me.” His voice was somehow profound.

Iza Kawatani’s eyes were filled with confidence and imposing dominance!
