While deeply saddened in his heart, the guilt within him grew stronger.

Saito Dosan sighed deeply, seemingly somewhat disheartened. However, this state didn't last long as he quickly seemed to think of something else, showing a displeased expression: "By the way, what about that brat? What's his deal? Tell me!"

"Brother Gu Mo?" Monkey thought for a moment, then cautiously said, "He seems to be from the Ming dynasty, and probably comes from a wealthy or noble background, just don't know why he's fallen to such a place..."

Saito Dosan's eyes flashed slightly. Monkey's insight was quite sharp; he had noticed this too. That annoying kid definitely didn't have the fate of a laborer, he must've been accustomed to living in luxury, one might even say he was incredibly noble.

——Even he found it hard to imagine what sort of background could cultivate such... well, such "nobility".

Aside from everything else, just the evening banquet alone was rich enough, wasn't it? If not for trying to please his precious daughter, Saito Dosan normally wouldn't lavish meals every day. But that kid, completely uninterested, even had the expression of eating wax at the feast.

Commoners seldom had a taste of meat throughout the year, getting a piece of meat was as good as celebrating New Year. Even lords and overlords from various countries hardly dined on cattle and sheep every day. Yet, that kid, was he raised on dragon liver and phoenix marrow? Such a picky taste?

Moreover, in every gesture, conversation, and demeanor, the feeling he exuded wasn't just modesty and deference, but rather, treating everyone equally... Indeed, in his eyes, it wasn't that he showed modesty and deference to him; instead, Saito Dosan, overlord of Mino, was treated just like anyone else.

It seemed that he, as the Overlord of Mino, was no different from others in that kid's eyes, nothing special at all.

This was truly baffling.

Though he wasn't trying to boast about his status and fame, Saito Dosan also knew that it was unusual for ordinary people to behave this way in front of him; being able to speak clearly was already commendable.

In conclusion, even if that kid was dressed like a commoner, with nothing valuable on him, all the details, bearing, and habits embedded in his every word and deed revealed the kind of environment he grew up in.

So, simply put... incredibly noble.

Reaching this conclusion, Saito Dosan nodded secretly in agreement. It was rare that despite being cultured with such nobility from his past, that kid didn't exhibit any arrogance, ignoring those long-term habits one can't change quickly, at least he did well on his subjective approach.

No matter what reason brought him to this land, he seemed to have calmly accepted the facts and was trying to adapt to his new identity and environment...

Were it not for reasons related to Ah Xiu, he might have admired this person for being extraordinary.

"I didn't ask you this, I was asking how his relationship with Ah Xiu is?" Collecting his thoughts, Saito Dosan asked in a deep voice.

"His relationship with Miss Ah Xiu..."

Faced with this question, Fujikichiro answered without hesitation: "Very good! Lord Dao San, from my perspective, they have been together for a long time. When I rushed back to Thirteen Sakura Village, I saw them..."

He embellished the scene from before with artistic flourishes, telling it vividly, and concluded:

"I also asked him at the time, and he said Miss Ah Xiu is his most special and important person, and Miss Ah Xiu acquiesced, not opposing this at all..."

"..."

"..."

"I see..." Saito Dosan's expression changed, and after a while, it seemed he felt a bit gratified, somewhat disappointed, and even gritting his teeth as he muttered to himself.

So that's how it is, if Ah Xiu says this, then I have no choice.

......

"Achoo!"

In her room, the black-haired girl, unable to sleep due to the unfamiliar environment, sneezed, then casually rubbed her small nose, still staring blankly at the ceiling.

Everything today had been too overwhelming for her.
