Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 771 - Chapter 771 Chapter 618 The Path to the West

Chapter 771: Chapter 618: The Path to the West… Chapter 771: Chapter 618: The Path to the West… Roger stood in his original place, at a loss for what to do.

If he went up to help her, given Miyanori Chiyoko’s temperament, she would surely lash out with harsh words, but if he left her alone, it would seem as if he were enjoying her misfortune.

What was more important was Miyanori Chiyoko’s posture at the moment.

Ahem.

To be fair, if one set aside her age, Miyanori Chiyoko could indeed be considered a beauty. Although Red Sparrow was beautiful, when compared with her, she lacked the demeanor of a powerful figure and seemed too youthful.

This woman’s personality indeed gave people headaches, but one had to admit that some men were completely enamored with such women.

Truly half the sea and half flame.

Constantly experiencing both ice and fire.

However, someone soon helped Roger out of his predicament.

After the sound came from afar, a figure descended from the sky shortly after.

Roger felt a bit surprised. The Sword Master Funiu leaving the Sword Pavilion was a rare occurrence. Connecting it to Miyanori Chiyoko’s prior attitude, he immediately realized that something must have happened.

After giving Sword Master Funiu a glance, by the time Roger turned back around, Miyanori Chiyoko’s figure had already disappeared from the ground.

Having lost such face, it was indeed impossible for Miyanori Chiyoko to continue staying there.

A glint of light flashed in Sword Master Funiu’s eyes, as he had naturally witnessed the exchange between Roger and Miyanori Chiyoko.

“Truly astonishing,” he exclaimed.

“Should I be amazed by your talent or the Sword Master Cold Crow’s skill in training disciples?” Sword Master Funiu wondered aloud.

A weird smile appeared on Roger’s face. “Are you sure some people really have the skill to train disciples?”

He realized that the conflict between him and Meiryu had not been made public, and in the eyes of Sword Master Funiu, he still bore the mark of Hankawa.

Roger did not immediately offer any explanations.

He had originally intended to approach quietly and did not expect to encounter Miyanori Chiyoko. Explaining now would undoubtedly raise suspicion.

Furthermore, he could not clearly articulate his motives.

It was better to be vague and then look for an opportunity to leave the place.

“Since you’re already here, come up the mountain with me,” Sword Master Funiu said.

“Some things have happened recently at the Sword Pavilion, and Miyanori’s emotions are somewhat overwrought…”

Roger was about to refuse when Sword Master Funiu continued, “Sword Master Cold Crow must have considerable trust in you, sending you here. I had thought he would send Meiryu, as Yatagarasu Meiryu has an established reputation as a formidable figure.”

“Don’t mind it.”

“Miyanori and the others are unaware of my interactions with Sword Master Cold Crow and your arrival here, so the conflict just now was entirely accidental,” said Sword Master Funiu, his tone calm and easily engendering trust.

“I was somewhat surprised to see you just now, but I never expected that your strength would increase so quickly! It’s truly incredible,” he added.

Sword Master Funiu stepped aside to indicate for Roger to follow.

Roger’s mind stirred, and he immediately changed his decision.

The opportunity was rare.

Clearly, Sword Master Funiu must have found himself in some unspeakable trouble, which led him to seek Hankawa’s help.

The outside world was unaware of the relationship between the two Sword Pavilions.

Roger’s unexpected arrival here and the subsequent discovery by Miyanori Chiyoko had led to everything that happened.

His presence made Sword Master Funiu mistakenly think that Roger was sent by Sword Master Cold Crow.

Without a word, Roger saw this as a rare opportunity for himself.

“I didn’t expect Sword Master Cold Crow to respond so quickly and send you here to assist,” Sword Master Funiu said, advancing up the mountain with Roger following behind, contemplating how to respond.

According to Sword Master Funiu, after receiving his request for help, Sword Master Cold Crow would most likely send Meiryu here.

If that were the case, all Roger needed to do was to wait patiently, and he could surprise Meiryu when the time came.

This place was not Hankawa, even if the battle lasted a little longer, it would be advantageous for Roger.

Regarding the possibility of being exposed, Roger had considered it as well.

He could always find an opportunity to leave through Shadow’s Touch; after all, that would mean no substantial loss. With his mind somewhat settled, he had made up his mind.

“My master didn’t explain the details to me, he just assigned me to come here,” Roger said with a smile.

“I didn’t want to draw other people’s attention, but who would have thought that I would be discovered by Peak Master Miyanori upon my arrival?” he explained, feigning innocence.

Sword Master Funiu did not suspect anything. Their speed was fast, and it wasn’t long before they reached the peak of Qinglu Mountain, avoiding alerting anyone. Under Sword Master Funiu’s guidance, Roger was led to a grand hall within the Sword Pavilion.

The last time he had been here was several months ago, when his strength was modest, and he had even faced some unnecessary difficulties.

But this time, after witnessing the exchange between Roger and Miyanori Chiyoko, Sword Master Funiu’s attitude had clearly shifted considerably.

Sword Master Funiu gestured for Roger to sit down and filled up the empty cup in front of him with a raise of his hand.

The steam from the cup rose, turning into mist between them and then drifting upwards, disappearing without a trace.

“In fact, in my heart, the best candidate to come here this time was you. Because you are from the West, it will be more convenient to handle some upcoming matters,” explained Sword Master Funiu.

Roger’s eyebrows raised slightly, his attention immediately sharpened.

The grand hall was empty except for the two of them. After Sword Master Funiu said those words, he closed his mouth, and Roger, wary of talking too much, naturally remained silent as well.

“I think you’re aware of the situation with Hai and Red Sparrow,” Sword Master Funiu suddenly spoke again.
