Chapter 53, right, Kensei 6?

If the Zero Division finds out about Lingmi's affair, will he, the instigator, end up like Kiryu Hikifune, being targeted by the Eye Monk for his "great contribution" and dragged directly to the Spirit King's Palace to guard the gate?

Shen Yi imagined himself sitting in the Spirit King Palace, staring at each other with four members of the Zero Squad, spending his days drinking tea and spacing out. It was terrifying!

Well, it's not that exaggerated. After all, they each have their own palace to live in and their own personal guards. For example, Oetsu Nimaiya not only has a group of personal guards, but also a group of female Zanpakuto who are not part of the personal guards. Thinking about it this way, it seems even worse. Isn't this just making dolls for yourself to play with?

"Shen Yi! I've come to play with you!"

Just as Shen Yi was pondering whether he could refuse like old man Yamamoto if they really came to him, a loud shout came from outside the courtyard.

Shen Yi looked up at the wall and found that Yoruichi Shihouin had walked in through the gate, but her handsome face still had the same arrogant expression that Shen Yi was all too familiar with.

He then noticed that there was another person following Yoruichi, but compared to Yoruichi's flamboyance, that person's walking posture was much more steady, and he looked like a proper person.

This is... Kisuke Urahara?

Although the face looked very kind, like a gentle young man, the first thing Shen thought of when he saw him was that middle-aged man who wore wooden clogs, had his hat askew, and spoke in a sarcastic and wicked way.

Looking at Kisuke Urahara's current refined and somewhat shy demeanor, Shen Yi couldn't help but sigh, wondering what this guy had gone through in the future to become that wickedly humorous old man.

Yoruichi stood in the middle of the courtyard with her hands on her hips, smiling broadly, completely unaware that Shen Yi had secretly framed her.

It's probably her fault!

As the saying goes, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black." How can one not become slick and corrupted by spending too much time with a woman like Yoruichi who can confidently read exciting little magazines?

"Hey, hey, hey, what kind of look is that?"

Yoruichi keenly caught Shen Yi's gaze, raised an eyebrow, rolled up her sleeves to reveal her well-defined forearms, and struck a pose that said, "You want to fight?" "Looking for trouble, huh?"

After saying that, he didn't forget to nod his chin at Hikifune Kiryu as a greeting.

The two were both team leaders and women, and they were old acquaintances. When Yizhou Tongsheng waved to her, the rice seedlings in his arms almost fell off, which startled her so much that she quickly used her other hand to protect them.

"No, I don't dare to look for it anymore."

Shen Yi readily admitted defeat, shrugged, and his expression couldn't be more sincere.

Just kidding. Last time he sparred with Yoruichi at the training ground, they got really into it. Yoruichi activated Shunpo, and Shen Yi put on the flowing silver dragon armor. As a result, the shockwave from the collision of their spiritual energy leveled the training ground to the ground—and then the two of them got a good beating from old man Yamamoto.

"It's alright, I'll take you to a secret base."

Yoruichi clearly remembered that incident as well, and her neck involuntarily shrank back, her tone unusually tinged with guilt.

But she was the kind of person who could never hold a guilty conscience for more than three seconds. The next second, she turned around with renewed vigor, grabbed Urahara Kisuke who was standing behind her, and slapped him on the shoulder, making Urahara stagger forward half a step: "Come on, let me introduce you—this is my friend, Urahara Kisuke. He's like you, he also likes to do all sorts of random research."

A secret base?

Shen Yi's heart skipped a beat. Yoruichi said it must be the underground training ground below the double-headed execution platform. In the original story, Urahara Kisuke trained Kurosaki Ichigo to complete his Bankai there.

The entire space there was made of killing stones, and the spiritual pressure was suppressed so tightly that no matter how much they struggled inside, no one outside could detect the slightest movement. It was indeed a good place for a combination like him and Yoruichi, who "couldn't stop once they started fighting."

As for why Yoruichi would so generously share her secret base with him, one reason is that they naturally hit it off, since the two had established a deep revolutionary friendship in the three major areas of sparring, drinking, and chasing manuscripts.

On the other hand, the Soul Society is currently in a period of peace, and no matter how smart Yoruichi is, she could not have foreseen that she would be forced to defect in the future.

Even if we take a step back and assume that the training ground was exposed, given Kisuke Urahara's penchant for digging wherever he goes, he must have built more than one secret base.

"Hello, Captain Shen. Hello, Captain Yezhou."

Kisuke Urahara bowed respectfully, then his gaze fell on the tender green rice seedling on the table, which Kiryu Hikifune had protected in a transparent container. His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he were trying to identify something interesting.

"It's Urahara. Long time no see."

Following his gaze, Yizhou Tongsheng smiled broadly, her eyes crinkling, and generously turned to show him the rice seedlings in her arms, her tone full of a mother's pride in her child: "This is my child with Shen Yi—"

"Cough cough cough—this is the spirit rice we developed together."

Shen Yi quickly interrupted this carefree older sister. It's only because Urahara Kisuke hasn't become that uncle yet, otherwise he would definitely ask, "How old is this child?"

"Spirit Rice?"

Kisuke Urahara's attention was completely drawn to the rice seedling. He involuntarily took a half-inch step forward, and his eyes lit up with a light that Shen Yi was very familiar with—the kind of light that researchers would show when they saw something interesting.

"Urahara, what do you think? Do you have any ideas?"

Seeing his interest, Kiryuki immediately launched into a lively discussion, explaining their research approach from the beginning, while Kisuke Urahara listened attentively, occasionally nodding and offering his analysis.

She wasn't very familiar with Kisuke Urahara, but as fellow researchers, she was aware of his talents and naturally wanted to know if he had any unique insights.

"Rice that can increase spiritual pressure?"

Yoruichi, who had been rather uninterested, became unusually serious upon hearing this. Her gaze fell on the rice seedling emitting a pale blue spiritual light, and she thought of the same question as Shen Yi: if this thing were planted on a large scale, wouldn't all the Grim Reapers be officials?

"It's not that exaggerated. It's a bit troublesome to grow and requires careful care."

Yizhou Tongsheng sighed with some regret, his slender fingers gently stroking the tender leaves of the rice seedlings, his tone carrying the helplessness of a creator who felt his work could not be popularized immediately.

The duties of a Shinigami are to fight and carry out missions. It is obviously unrealistic to ask a Shinigami to be a farmer, and it is impossible to guarantee the quality of care. Even the docile Fourth Division cannot be forced to dig the ground, can it?

"It seems that we might be able to cooperate with you nobles."

The thought that even future captain-level Shinigami were being slaughtered by Quincy as easily as cutting melons and vegetables made Shen Yi suddenly feel that his worries were a bit unnecessary, right, Kensei Muguruma?
