The mountains and forests sound softly, the wind sweeps past the ears, and every part of the body and mind is comforted obediently. Sakura stretches out her hand, and her fingertips seem to touch the rhythm of the wind for a moment.

"Looks like you've been feeling pretty good these days."

The scent of tea was lingering in the wooden house, and Bai Shan looked at Ying Nao with a calm face opposite him with a smile, and stroked his beard, "Your mood seems to be much clearer after coming to Japan."

"Actually, it should be said that everyone has been infecting and pushing me."

Picking up the teacup in front of her, Sakura smiled genuinely with tender eyes.

"Although I know that there is still a long way to go before I can really get rid of my demons and get out of the haze, and I may still be lost because of fear in the future, but I am trying not to hesitate anymore."

She raised her head and looked into Bai Shan's loving eyes.

"I don't want to live up to everyone's ardent expectations. Although you haven't said anything, I always feel that you are looking forward to getting back the old me."

"Girl, I'm proud of you."

Bai Shan smiled, but his expression was solemn, loving and caring in the rising mist.

"Okay, now that you've made up your mind, I'm much more at ease."

After exposing some heavy topics, Baishan changed his tone, "Tell me something happy."

"Grandpa Baishan, what are you happy about?"

"You've been paying attention to meditation these days, and you haven't paid much attention to outside affairs. Your grandma called a few days ago to say that Qingxue has won the championship in the Capital Conference."

Baishan looked at Sakurano's eyes that lit up instantly, shook his head with a smile, and continued.

"Besides, we will stay here for a while anyway, so your grandma and I have already agreed that all the main candidates from Qingxue will come here for a sleepover training. It's also, hehe,"

With a short laugh, Baishan looked at the obvious joy on Sakurano's face and said, "Enhance your mutual relationship."

"really?"

A little surprised, Sakura opened her eyes with a smile, "When?"

"Well,"

Looking at the sky that was approaching dusk, Baishan stroked his beard.

"It should have been going up the mountain."

Down the mountain.

"Mother-in-law, this is where we will sleep together?"

Getting off the bus, what unfolded in front of everyone in Qingxue was a quiet and deep mountain forest, with a hint of gloom under the darkening sky, "In the mountains."

"It feels a little spooky."

Eiji blinked and walked up and down, "Do you really want to spend a week here?"

"Ahem, now tell me about the path up the mountain."

Ryuzaki coughed lightly, pointed to the three mountain trails in different directions in front of everyone, and spoke.

"There are nine of us, divided into three groups. Echizen, Momojo, and Tezuka take the first route; Fuji, Oishi, and Kikumaru take the second route; Kawamura, Kaidou, Gan take the third route. Three different routes All the way to the end is a camp on the top of the mountain."

"Come on everyone, try to arrive before the sun goes down."

Watching the three groups go in their respective directions, Ryuzaki had a mysterious smile on his lips, "I wish you all good luck."

The stone steps on the mountain road are extremely irregular, covered with thick moss, and the shade of the trees on both sides is deep, so the visibility is a bit low, so everyone walked with extra care.

Momojo, who was walking in the front, pressed the racket behind him, kept his body balanced, and while paying attention to his feet, glanced left and right from the corner of his eyes, Echizen and Tezuka who were walking behind silently.

He has been in contact with Ryoma for a while, and he fully understands that this kid is an out-and-out boring gourd.

Although the two usually fight and fight, but...

Looking at Tezuka on the other side out of the corner of his eye, there was a silent iceberg, Taocheng swallowed his saliva, and shook his head, with the minister here, he really didn't dare to be presumptuous.

The long journey became more and more dull, with a bit of speechless embarrassment.

They were walking slowly on the mountain road, but there was a slight bump in front of them. Taocheng and Echizen, who were gradually walking ahead, subconsciously looked at the side of the mountain forest, and saw three unknown people calling from the forest. The objects quickly hit the minister who was walking behind with his head bowed, and the two couldn't help but whispered, "Be careful!"

The two of them didn't see clearly how Tezuka was moving, but in a split second, he had already swung the handle on his side to catch the object hitting him.

Turning back to take the shot, and lying in front of him, Tezuka looked at the three stones spread out on the surface of the shot, frowning slightly.

In the next second, under the slightly surprised gaze of the two people in front, he threw up the stone on the paddle, swung the paddle lightly, and drove the stone straight into the hidden forest beside the road.

After a few crashes of rocks and trees, there was unexpectedly a faint whisper and a low sound of anger from the depths of the forest.

The three of them looked at the forest where the voice came out, with different reactions on their faces, but they were somewhat puzzled.

"Didn't you agree to have one for each person! Why don't you beat him all the time!"

"You have to worry about this kind of thing? He's not a glass doll, so he won't be beaten. Besides, he caught it!"

A sound of "Xixisuosuo" came from the woods where the three of them were watching. A man and a woman came out noisily, and they all cast their eyes on the expressionless Tezuka first, with completely opposite expressions.

"Sure enough, it's not a good thing to meet you bastard."

The boy covered his red forehead that had been severely beaten by his sister, and glared fiercely at Tezuka.

"We meet again, Guoguang."

The corners of Naliang's lips curved brilliantly, if she hadn't been held tightly by Kawa who was beside her, she would definitely rush forward to give Tezuka a big hug.

Guoguang?

When Tezuka on the side heard this address, the corners of his brows raised imperceptibly, and his eyes seemed to inadvertently glance at Naliang who was glaring at Kawa.

Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, he met the curious eyes of Echizen and Momoshiro looking over, and the eyes collided for an unexpected moment, Tezuka quickly turned his gaze away, with a calm expression.

Staring at the stubborn brother dissatisfied, Naryo turned to Echizen and Momoshiro who hadn't reacted yet, "Also, who are you two?"

Tezuka looked at Naryo's questioning gaze, nodded, and said, "Let me introduce, Takeshi Momoshiro."

Taocheng heard the words, nodded slightly to the two people who were looking at him, but said nothing.

Seeing this, Naryo shifted her gaze to Echizen who was yawning again, her expression became a little weird.

"This one is Echizen."

"Eh?!"

The boys and girls were startled and looked at each other.

"My name is Nagasaki Naryo, and this is my brother, Nagasakigawa."

Naliang happily introduced herself, walked up to the lazy Echizen, and rubbed his hair rudely, "You are Ryoma-kun, so cute!"

"Okay, the old story is over, and I have introduced it!"

Chuan Qingqing cleared his throat, and said righteously, "Then just say it straight, we are here to guard you to give you a bad impression! If you want to go up the mountain, you have to pass our pass first!"

"Yes Yes."

Naliang was still excited about meeting Tezuka, but her brother's sudden change of mind came to her ears. .

"However, I have to change my mind now. You, and you, go up! You stay!"

The ones who were ordered to let go were Echizen and Taocheng who didn't know why, and the one who was hand-picked to stay was of course the thorn in the side of the sister-in-law, Mr. Minister.

"Brother! What are you talking about! What do you mean!"

Facing Naliang's objection, Chuan waved his hand indifferently, "That's what it means! It's getting late anyway, this is a reasonable accommodation."

Squinting his eyes, a dangerous light flashed in Chuan's eyes. He swung his racket and pointed at Tezuka who was standing still, with a bad tone.

"Hey! Boy! Do you dare to fight me?"

"What the hell! Who gave you the guts to yell at our minister?!"

Taocheng took the lead and couldn't help it anymore, and was about to rush up, but was stopped by Tezuka who raised his hand beside him.

"You go up first."

Momoshiro and Echizen looked at Tezuka with a calm face, and wanted to say something, but seeing him nodding his head, with an attitude that could not be refuted, they turned around reluctantly, and walked up the mountain step by step.

Seeing that the two left obediently, Tezuka turned his gaze back and nodded slightly at Chuan, who was still looking at him provocatively, "Being obedient is worse than being respectful."

The situation was on the verge of breaking out, the stern mountain wind blew past, ignited the flames of war, and brought the spearhead to the other side of the dangerous road.

"Yo! Is this the level?"

Fuji, Oishi, and Eiji panted slightly, looking at the smiling young man throwing stones in front of him. The three of them each had some small scratches on their bodies and faces, and they stared unwillingly at the young man carrying the racket.

"Don't look at me like that! If you are not reconciled, then continue!"

The young man tossed the stones lightly, leaned on the tree trunk beside him, smiled and saw Bu Er slowly stood up, "Why, do you still want to continue?"

"Of course! If I don't defeat you, how can I give up."

Bu'er's slightly squinted eyes had already been opened, and his icy blue pupils were shining firmly, looking at the naughty boy in front of him.

"Very good! So be it,"

The boy swung his racket and pointed straight at the mountain road leading to the top of the mountain behind him, "As long as you beat me with a ball, I will let you go up!"

"Before that, can you tell me, who are you?"

Bu Er looked at the young man who was throwing a stone and was about to swing it, his eyes flickered slightly.

"Ok?"

The young man was startled, then smiled wildly, and waved his pat, "If you want to know who I am, I won the ball first!"

The third mountain road.

"Huh... how long will it take to arrive?"

Kawamura looked at the near-dark sky, then at the stretch of mountain steps ahead, and sighed, "There are a lot of steps."

"This is just the first test, brother."

The three of them were struggling to climb the steps, when a childish voice suddenly came from above their heads, and they looked up in astonishment. A little girl in a black kimono was sitting on a short tree stump, smiling innocently at the three of them.

"you are?"

Gan pushed his glasses, looked at the cute girl carved in powder and jade and asked a question.

"Just call me Keiko."

The girl jumped off the tree stump and walked up the steps stepping on her wooden clogs, "There will be many forks in the road ahead, and I'm here to show you the way. Come on, it will get very dark after the sun goes down, and it's easy to get lost."

Hearing this, the three quickly followed the girl's pace, but they didn't see a devilish sly smile on the girl's face.

"It's here, okay?"

The two of Echizen boarded the final steps, and there was a wide flat ground in front of them, a bonfire was burning in the center, and exquisite wooden houses stood around, Taocheng looked at the lighted house, and saw the already dim and almost dark It was getting dark, and I sat down by the campfire without entering the house.

Echizen glanced at Jing Mi's left and right, and sat beside Taocheng, "The others seem to have not come up yet."

"Um,"

Taocheng picked up branches and fiddled with the fire, still a little angry, "Who are those people, this ghost place."

"Eh? You've already arrived."

A familiar voice suddenly came from behind, and the two turned their heads at the same time, "Ryuzaki?" Echizen looked at the face with the gentle smile, and looked a little dazed.

"Is that so, you mean that mother-in-law divides people into three groups and takes three different paths, which means that they will face different opponents or different environments. Make this the first part of the camp training?"

Ying Nao also sat down by the bonfire, Taocheng on the side heard her explanation, and finally understood, "Whose idea is this?"

"It's Grandpa Baishan."

"Grandpa Baishan?"

Echizen's voice also cut in, this name, why does it feel a little familiar...

"Well, Baishan Jinkou. He and my grandma are old acquaintances, and he is the coach who came to help with training."

Sakura stopped what she was doing, and looked towards the wooden house with her face in her hands.

"He just came back, and he has been living in the United States before."

"Then, that arrogant Nagasaki brother and sister,"

Taocheng looked at the way he came from, his eyes flickered, "Also, from the United States?"

"Arrogant?"

Sakura was a little surprised, but explained patiently.

"Well, they were born in the United States and are Japanese-Americans. Nagasaki and Baishan are family friends."

The two listened, but their conversation was interrupted by the sound of the door opening.
