"Of course, I know, even if you conquer the world and bring peace to the land, it's still far from your ambitions. My modest means aren't much..." Saito Dosan nodded, indifferent, "But if I can help you a little, then that's something, and I never break my word."

Just now, the opponent quickly dispelled the inner interrogation, not being completely bewitched by the Spirit Stone due to succumbing to inner desires, which was evident.

Perhaps... he truly is the one capable of inheriting Mino and fulfilling my ambitions on my behalf.

Saito Dosan thought this, his mind nearly decided. If Yoshitaka has no objections, then that's settled... He didn't decide solely based on his personal opinion, but also consulted Saito Yoshitaka's view. It was because this daughter had no thoughts that he initially considered giving the state to Nobunaga.

Speaking of Yoshitaka... Saito Dosan hurriedly turned his head to look.

"Hey, I... forget it."

Beside him, Gu Mo opened his mouth but ultimately sighed, as it was unrelated to him anyway. It felt as if a current ran through his mind, with fragmented noises appearing and echoing in his ears, as if the scenario judgment was complete, and the accounting began.

Since this scenario is also completed, he now needs to find a way to escape; somehow, he must return to reality.

Just consider it as returning the old man's setting, allowing him to hold onto his misunderstanding, and he could leave without explanation.

With this thought, Gu Mo felt at ease, no longer entangled, but instead looked over there—

Since earlier, two identical, seemingly mirror-like black-haired girls were looking at each other here, quietly without speaking, yet there was a peculiar emotion flowing in their eyes, as if some emotions couldn't be restrained.

Compared to the other one who had calmed down after watching in the secret path for a while, Hidechika's excitement and bewilderment were apparent.

She stared dumbly at the person opposite, as if seeing another version of herself; perhaps it was the resonance of shared blood or an indescribable connection between twins, making her feel the person should have been the closest to her, yet now seemed so unfamiliar.

"Cough, cough, you sisters... recognize each other well. Yoshitaka, this is your elder sister, Yixiu... no, Hidechika." Saito Dosan coughed lightly, uncertain whether he remembered something or was just melancholy in old age, with his eyes slightly moist with a crystalline shine, feeling pity for his daughter's misfortune.

—Yoshitaka, since birth, never saw her mother, and even till the woman's death, they never met...

—And Ah Xiu, taken away by her mother at birth, living independently after her mother's death, has also faced untold hardships over the years, even losing her ability to speak and forgetting her original name...

Viper sighed deeply, unable to resist glancing at a certain repulsive young man, recalling what Monkey said before.

Though he detested this fellow, it was fortunate he was beside Ah Xiu... In this regard, it seemed he didn't have to worry much about his daughter's future; as long as this lad didn't disappoint the old man's expectations! Even if Mino was handed over to them, how to arrange Yoshitaka's future?
