Chapter 468: Resolving
"Brother, welcome back." Mingyan Jiro greeted his returning brother with emotion.
Mingyan Yixin is a silent, steady middle-aged man with slightly graying hair. His ancestral Eye of the Rock Elemental God and the scars all over his body are his achievements.
"Jiro, I've troubled you so much at home and in the dojo over the years." Mingyan said Isshin.
"You're too polite, brother. Actually, I'm not that busy. Compared to the dangers you face, managing the dojo and family affairs is so easy." Mingyan Jiro said.
Their family is a branch vassal family of the Hechuan family, and they joined the Rock Shadow and Thunder Clan very early, which can even be traced back to the time when the Rock Shadow and Thunder Clan was first established. Every generation of theirs needs to have males join the Rock Shadow and Thunder Clan to serve.
Their ancestral Eye of God was awakened by the third generation ancestor. Unfortunately, the ancestor was not very lucky. It was the end of the Dark Disaster, so he unfortunately died in the battle. After his death, the Eye of God was sent back to their family. At the same time, their family was named Mingyan by the Blade Leader of that generation.
Then he personally designed sword techniques for them.
So their family had the inherited Mingyan swordsmanship. Combined with the environment of Renlian Island, the Mingyan family had many swordsmen from generation to generation, and there were even several great swordsmen. This swordsmanship had been revised through the generations, becoming more suitable for their family and making it easier to activate the ancestral Rock Element God's Eye.
Mingyan Isshin of this generation is a great swordsman who has sword intent in his heart, but has not yet formed a sword heart. Mingyan Jiro is a little worse, he is just a small swordsman.
"By the way, brother, when will my sister-in-law retire?"
"As for your sister-in-law, she should have to serve for another seven or eight years." Ming Yan sighed, "The older they get, the more popular their work as priestesses becomes. Unlike us, when we get older, even with the help of Qi, we are still powerless. The possibility of me becoming a swordsman in this lifetime is very small."
"Fortunately, Yixing has good talent. I heard that he was recommended to the special class of our internal advanced swordsmanship academy half a year ago."
"That small class is taught by the old sword master himself." Ming Yan couldn't help but feel jealous of his son. "Back then, I was only in the key class, and I could only get a chance to be taught by the sword master once every six months."
"Congratulations, brother. Xiaoxing is a potential member of the monastic order. If Xiaoxing joins the monastic order, our family will be able to continue from generation to generation." Mingyan Jiro said with emotion.
Although the Priory is still secretive, for the members of the Rock Shadow and Thunder Service, many of their missions will involve contact with people in the Priory, so the Priory is not a secret to them, especially for families like theirs where people have joined the Rock Shadow and Thunder Service for generations.
"How is Xiaohui's training as a shrine maiden going?" Mingyan was asking about Mingyan Hui, the second daughter of Mingyan Jiro. His eldest daughter was already married, and his youngest son was working as a Tenryo Bugyo.
Only the second daughter is training as a shrine maiden at the Hinare Shrine.
"She has already completed the Zhengjie and is currently practicing the Mingjie." Mingyan Jiro also said with emotion, "Xiaohui's talent as a miko is really good, much better than Jingzi."
"After completing the Ming-level training, she will probably live to be 130 years old. How enviable~" Ming Yan was also very emotional. "After all, even a great swordsman who is proficient in health preservation can only live for two centuries at most."
"Not only that, I heard that most of the high-level priestesses have the God's Eye."
"Really? That's amazing, but it's a pity that we warriors don't have this convenience."
The two brothers drank tea and chatted with each other. Although they had not seen each other for a long time, the relationship between the two brothers has always been very good.
"Hello Mingyan Dojo? Study tour challenge."
The Mingyan brothers looked at each other.
…
Ying rubbed her sore arm and complained, "These dojos are so weird."
"Yeah, it seems like no one is very welcoming to us." Paimon also complained.
"I mean, these dojos are unexpectedly strong, and the average level is a bit too high." Ying complained, "They are all huddled in such a small place, which is really hard to understand..."
"That's true. The dojo master just now seemed to be comparable to Kaeya, but he didn't have the Eye of God, which is more worrying. They don't have the evil eye of the Fatui, and they don't seem to have undergone any body modification or anything." Paimon said.
"Maybe her situation is similar to Jiang Xue's." Ying said.
"There can't be so many. After all, God's Eye is very rare." Paimon said, "Well, looking at the map, this should be the location of Mingyan Dojo. Let's fight quickly and then we'll go eat. It's still some distance from the nearest town. I hope it's not too strong, otherwise we'll have to camp in the wild."
"Hello, Mingyan Dojo? Study tour challenge." Paimon said to the dojo after flying in.
"Hello, the museum is closed today." Mingyan Jiro said to the two of them.
"A familiar breath of elemental power!" Ying frowned.
"It's you!" Mingyan Yixin raised his eyebrows and said.
The two were shocked by their discovery.
"Brother, do you know this lady? Then please come in and talk. After all, the weather is so bad..."
…
Mingyan Isshin thought, “I never expected to see a famous traveler in my own dojo.”
"I didn't expect to see someone I know here."
It turns out that the last time he investigated the meteorite with Takemoto, Mingyan Isshin was also there.
He was even the most powerful person besides Takemoto, and the strongest man besides Takemoto. At that time, Kujo Sara was even weaker than him. The first sword energy that slashed towards the traveler was created by him.
"Brother, the tea is here. The two young ladies can have some too. This is the remaining concentration tea from last year's study tour challenge reward."
"It's only because our dojo has our elder brother as a member that we can get some every year." Mingyan Jiro said to Ying and Paimon.
"Don't be too nervous . You must have met your brother during the mission. Now your brother has retired." Mingyan Jiro said.
"I am Mingyan Isshin, and he is Mingyan Jiro." Mingyan Isshin first introduced himself.
"I'm the traveler Ying, and this is Paimon." Ying also introduced himself.
The atmosphere immediately eased after the two introduced themselves.
First, Mingyan Isshin apologized for what happened when they met last time, and then they started chatting.
I introduced the history of Renren Island and the history of their Mingyan Dojo to the two of them.
Finally, Mingyan Jiro asked them to stay. After all, it was getting late, and there was a "non-safe zone" between them and the town. The active groups on Renlian Island fought almost every night, so it was still very dangerous to walk at night and it was very easy to get hurt accidentally.
