Chapter 59: Encounter by chance, turmoil in the inner court!
Not long after leaving the area where the first team was located.
An unexpected figure came into Xia Mu's eyes.
When Xia Mu saw the "victim", he raised his eyebrows, but had no intention of going forward to say hello.
But the other party was worthy of being a veteran captain. He was able to keenly sense Xia Mu with just a glance from Xia Mu. Then he looked at Xia Mu, and his figure flashed. In just a few seconds, he came to Xia Mu's side.
"Isn't this Kenpachi Natsuki?"
The man named Kyoraku Shunsui greeted Natsuki like this, with a cynical smile on his face.
"Captain of the Kyōband!"
The other party had come to his side, so Xia Mu naturally couldn't pretend not to see him, so he greeted the other party.
"Don't call me so politely."
Kyoraku Shunsui was also a very outgoing person. After hearing Natsuki's name, he immediately smiled at him and changed the subject, "I heard that Natsuki Kenpachi has been learning Hakuto from old man Yama recently?"
Xia Mu's eyes flickered, and he did not hide anything, "The captain taught me a lot."
Kyoraku Shunsui said, "I once studied with Old Man Yama for a long time. Now that Natsuki Kenpachi is studying with Old Man Yama, we are considered to be from the same school. So, would you like to call me Senior Brother?"
Xia Mu looked at Kyoraku Shunsui in surprise, as if he had not expected him to say such a thing, but soon he gave another answer, "Although I really want to have a senior brother, if it is someone as unreliable as Captain Kyoraku, forget it."
Natsuki has been a member of the Gotei 13 for many years.
Kyoraku Shunsui was once a frequent visitor to the 11th Division, so he knew Kyoraku Shunsui's character. He would not get angry if he was criticized like this.
"So, is this the reason why Natsuki Kenpachi doesn't want to call me senior brother?"
"This is really a frustrating thing. I was about to become the current Kenpachi's senior brother, but because of my personality that cannot be changed, I have to miss this opportunity." Kyoraku Shunsui looked depressed, but there was no trace of pain in his words.
After finishing his complaints, Kyoraku Shunsui complained about Natsuki again, "So, Natsuki Kenpachi, you really don't want to consider making some changes for me? I haven't blamed you for snatching away the team member I liked!"
"Obviously, his application form had already been sent to the Eighth Division, and I was planning to recruit him into the Eighth Division, but I learned that you, Kenpachi Natsuki, went to the Maou Spiritual Academy in person and recruited him into the Eleventh Division."
"So, what is so special about him that makes you value him so much?"
As soon as Kyoraku Shunsui said this, Natsuki knew that the other party was talking about Yadomaru Lisa.
He said calmly: "Lisa has unparalleled potential. I am very optimistic about her future."
"Captain Kyōraku's complaints are totally unreasonable. Mao's joining the Gotei 13 has always been a two-way choice. Although she has expressed her wish to join the 8th Division, she has not yet been accepted by your 8th Division. Therefore, it is not strange for her to join our 11th Division during this period."
Kyoraku Shunsui was stunned for a moment, then said, "What you said makes sense. I am convinced by you."
He himself had no intention of accusing Xia Mu of any crime.
It was just that I unexpectedly met Natsuki here today, and I wanted to make friends with the new Kenpachi, so I took the initiative to find some topics to talk about.
When he invited Lisa Yadomaru to join the Eighth Division, he only saw that she was a pretty girl, so he mentioned her casually in the academy. Kyoraku Shunsui didn't know that Lisa Yadomaru would become his vice-captain in the future, so he didn't value Lisa Yadomaru as much as he imagined.
Of course, if it was his other vice-captain Nanao Ise in the original book, it might be different. "We rarely meet by chance, do you want to go for a drink together?"
Kyoraku Shunsui extended an invitation to Natsuki.
Xia Mu pondered for a moment and nodded.
Kyoraku Shunsui added, "This place isn't too far from my home. We're too lazy to go to the pub, so let's just go to my house and have a drink."
So, Natsuki followed Kyoraku Shunsui and headed towards the noble district.
Kyoraku Shunsui is the head of the upper-class noble Kyoraku family. In Soul Society, the Kyoraku family is second only to the five great noble families. However, due to the small number of family members, there is only one Kyoraku Shunsui left in the current generation. If there were more people, with the status of the Kyoraku family, they could definitely fight for a seat in the Central Forty-Six Chambers.
In Soul Society, not all nobles live in Seireitei. Some small and medium-sized nobles choose to live in Rukongai.
However, they were all small and medium-sized nobles.
Upper-ranking nobles such as the five great nobles and the Kyōraku family naturally live within the Seireitei, and live in the core area of the Seireitei, which is the inner court.
Just like Soul Society is divided into Rukongai and Seireitei, with Shinigami living in Seireitei and ordinary souls living in Rukongai, there is also a level division within Seireitei, divided into the Inner Court and the Outer Court.
The Outer Court is where most of the Gotei 13 squads are located. Shinigami and some people who have lived in the Soul Society for generations are basically active in this area.
The inner court is the living area for the nobles.
There are also some important institutions in Soul Society that are located in the Inner Court.
"That seems to be the location of Central Room 46, right?"
When passing a street, Xia Mu turned his head and looked ahead. The buildings on the street ahead were extremely majestic. At the end of the street, there was a building surrounded by towering walls. The thick gate was closed, and at the door stood some guards holding sticks.
"This is Guanting Street, which is considered to be a relatively important place in our Soul Society. Next to it is Noble Street. My home is over there."
Kyoraku Shunsui explained to Natsuki.
Then he turned to Xia Mu and said, "To be more specific, Xia Mu Kenpachi, you should rarely come to the inner court, right?"
Natsuki nodded.
"That makes sense. No wonder you're interested in the location of the Central 46th Room." Kyoraku Shunsui said, and was about to take Natsuki away from here and head towards the Noble Street, when suddenly, there was a commotion in Guanting Street.
This caught the attention of Natsuki and Kyoraku Shunsui.
"Something seems to have happened over there!"
Kyoraku Shunsui said with a complicated tone.
"So, do you want to go over and take a look?" Natsuki turned his head and looked at Kyoraku Shunsui.
Feeling Natsuki's gaze, Kyoraku Shunsui sighed, "Since we've met, let's go and take a look."
