Sanada Haruhi wasn't smug; instead, a faint bitterness appeared in his eyes. "What's the use? In the end, I'm just a pawn in someone else's game..."
I used to think that once I became my master's eldest disciple, I would have the right to choose my own life and the ability to do what I wanted to do.
But in the end... it was all for nothing...
If it were someone else, they might feel sorry for her now, but Lu Yi and Yun Hao didn't believe her nonsense at all.
Sanada Haruhi, this woman, should indeed be as she said, she should have come from the asylum, but how could a woman climb out of such a competitive place?
To enter Yamamoto's school and then fight one's way through Yamamoto's many disciples to become number one is not something that can be explained in just a few words.
No matter how pitiful or helpless this woman appears now, the blood on her hands is definitely not lacking...
The blood on her hands is most stained with the blood of Chinese people, which is something Lu Yi and Yun Hao absolutely cannot forgive her for.
But Lu Yi and the others didn't show it for the time being, and just followed her lead and asked, "And then?"
You've already become Yamamoto's top disciple, why didn't you go back to Japan with him?
"Why have you been lying in wait here all these years, all by yourself?"
Seeing that they remained unmoved, Sanada Haruhi was somewhat disappointed. She had thought that if she said a few more words, she could gain their sympathy, given how immature these two boys were.
It seems this path won't work. She takes them more seriously now. "This all started when my master was young."
When he was young, he met a friend in China named Bai Bai. The two were so close that they called each other brothers.
But as you should know, my master is a man who won't act without self-interest; he won't easily open his heart to anyone.
The reason he and Bai Bai got along so well was because they were both focused on the same thing.
"What is that?" Lu Yi asked in a deep voice. It couldn't be...
"I don't know. Not only me, but even my master and Bai Bai don't know. We only heard it from Bai Bai."
Their family has an ancestral treasure that is incredibly magical. It can help a person extend their lifespan and also hides immense wealth within it.
Putting aside this immense wealth, it's a treasure that can extend one's lifespan—who wouldn't want it?
So my master has been dreaming of this thing for many years. Originally, the two of them had planned to cooperate to seize it.
However, due to the chaotic times, they were bogged down by other matters and were even separated.
When my master finally settled down and wanted to go find Bai Bai, he discovered that he was already dead.
Only one adopted daughter remained, namely Baiyun, but Baiyun also had two children with her, one was Yun Baiyu, and the other was He Wen.
This was the second time the master had collaborated with them.
The master made a promise with Baiyun to help her gain the trust of the head of the Bai family at the time, and they succeeded.
But just when they thought the Bai family was within their grasp, the old lady of the Bai family forcefully drove Bai Yun away.
For many years afterward, due to the old lady's forceful methods, they had no chance to get close to the Bai family again.
In the end, my master was also sent back to his country due to the defeat in the war, and so was I.
And so it was left behind, as a hidden pawn planted here to monitor He Wen…”
