The initiative of a passionate girl often leaves an extremely deep impression on people.
Especially when this girl is still a flower yet to bloom.
Rosse stayed at the Shiba family for a full three days, as if he were announcing to the outside world that he had completely chosen to stand with the Shiba family.
And because Rosse took their side, quite a few nobles became much more well behaved.
Who could be offended and who could not, everyone was still very clear about that in their hearts.
Although they had no evidence, before the Tsunayashiro family was wiped out, there really were rumors that Rosse had killed members of their family.
Back then, Rosse did not yet have the backing of the Five Great Noble Families, and he already dared to go after people from the Tsunayashiro family.
Now that he had the Five Great Noble Families behind him, he would probably be even more fearless.
Compared to the Shiba family, which had become a hard bone to chew, another piece of fat meat was clearly more tempting.
The head of the Feng family, Sui Feng, was captured while attempting to assassinate the Shiba family. This was truly a huge matter.

[First Division]
"Old man, it's already been three days. The Central 46 still hasn't discussed a concrete plan?", Kyoraku Shunsui stood off to the side in a sloppy manner, absentmindedly picking at his ear, boredom written all over his face.
If he hadn't guaranteed this matter and wasn't looking forward to how things would develop afterward, he wouldn't even bother getting involved.
Dealing with that group of nobles was truly exhausting.
"Quite a few people oppose punishing Captain Sui Feng, believing that her actions did not violate any rules. They think she went to the Shiba family to attack the head of the Shiba family because she discovered clues that the Shiba family head had secretly harmed his elder brother and sister-in-law," Captain-Commander Yamamoto spoke calmly.
"Hah? They can even say something like that? Which family said it, exactly?", Kyoraku Shunsui was so shocked his eyes went wide.
He hadn't been managing this matter before and had been guarding Sui Feng the whole time.
But he really did not expect that something dead could be twisted by those people into something alive.
No, he had only suggested that Sui Feng be formally tried by the Central 46, not that the Central 46 must give a guilty verdict.
But what was the Central 46 trying to do here?
They didn't even want to hold a trial and were just defaulting to the idea that Sui Feng had no problems?
Wasn't it said that the Feng family was being targeted by other families? Where did so many people supporting Sui Feng come from?
This was completely illogical.
"There are quite a lot of families saying this. At least half have expressed similar views," Captain-Commander Yamamoto said unhurriedly.
Over thousands of years, what storms has he not seen. This little matter in front of him was not enough to move him.
Back when he took control of the Seireitei, the troubles he encountered were far greater than what he was facing now.
He had seen far too much of the nobles' ability to put on one face in public and another behind the scenes.
But it was precisely because these people had brains that the order of Soul Society had become more and more complete.
"Hey, hey, old man, this is very abnormal, right? I suspect some nobles are secretly colluding with Hueco Mundo's royal palace."
Kyoraku Shunsui frowned slightly and looked toward Captain-Commander Yamamoto, who sat at the highest seat, steady as a mountain.
"Kyoraku, you graduated under this old man several hundred years ago, yet your temperament is still not calm enough," Captain-Commander Yamamoto slightly opened his eyes, glanced at Kyoraku Shunsui in front of him, and said with complete composure, "Ever since the Hueco Mundo expeditionary force was repelled by the royal palace, those nobles have started to stir. Kyoraku, you must remember, nobles can maintain the stability of Soul Society, but they themselves are also unstable factors."
"Then old man, what should we do?", Kyoraku Shunsui spread his hands. He was almost a thousand years old already. Who couldn't talk about grand principles?
But everyone in the Seireitei knew that those nobles had Captain-Commander Yamamoto backing them.
If it weren't for Captain-Commander Yamamoto's restraint, those nobles would have long been torn apart by those wolf-like captains.
If they wanted to move against the nobles, didn't they need Captain-Commander Yamamoto to speak first?
"The rules cannot be broken. As for exactly how to do it, that's up to you to think about," As Captain-Commander Yamamoto said this, his eyes closed once again, clearly showing an attitude of not wanting to continue the conversation with Kyoraku Shunsui.
Hearing this, Kyoraku Shunsui's mouth twitched.
He had originally come this time to ask Captain-Commander Yamamoto for help.
In the end, not only did the other party not help, he even made things harder.
Not only did he forbid them from using underhanded methods, he also wanted him to come up with a perfect solution that satisfied everyone. Wasn't this just making things difficult?
But he also knew Captain-Commander Yamamoto's temperament, so he could only leave helplessly.
"Ah? Is it really okay to make things this hard for the juniors?", Just after Kyoraku Shunsui left, a more frivolous male voice rang out inside the First Division's room.
Immediately after, a middle-aged man with a pompadour appeared beside Captain-Commander Yamamoto, his entire body exuding a laid-back air.
"Heh! Kirinji, in my eyes, you are merely a junior as well."
Captain-Commander Yamamoto spoke calmly, glancing at Kirinji Tenjiro of Squad Zero, "So? Have you found the mole from the Hueco Mundo royal palace?"
After reporting to Squad Zero earlier, Squad Zero had also responded actively and sent out two members in total.
One woman with the code name "Oorgami(Great Weave Guard" went to Hueco Mundo, while the other, "Sentoki(Hot Spring Demon)" came to Soul Society to assist him in investigating the mole.
It was clear that Squad Zero placed extremely high importance on the matter of Hueco Mundo.
"For now, we can't be sure. But that Rosse probably doesn't have any problems. I started following him many days ago and haven't found anything abnormal," Kirinji Tenjiro shrugged.
"What has he been doing these past few days?", Captain-Commander Yamamoto asked calmly.
"You mean how he got involved with the Shiba family, right? That guy was quite gentle. He said quite a few comforting words in front of that little girl, and in the end, he couldn't bear it and told her what had happened that day," Kirinji Tenjiro took the piece of grass out of his mouth and casually picked his teeth, then continued, "Tsk! Tsk! That little girl is also a person of strong emotions. After hearing it, she cried quite sadly. Then that night, the two of them went off together to drink, probably wanting something to happen. Unfortunately, as soon as they returned to the Shiba family, they were caught by that Captain Sui Feng."
These were almost all things he had seen with his own eyes, leaving almost no possibility of them being fake.
It wasn't like that Rosse could cast some illusion and deceive even him.
What a joke. He was a member of Squad Zero. Even if Rosse's spiritual pressure was the same as Kyoraku Shunsui's, it would still be impossible to confuse him with an illusion.
What's more, Rosse's sword was clearly a flowing-water type and had absolutely nothing to do with illusions.
Captain-Commander Yamamoto was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke, "So it's confirmed that Sui Feng has problems?"
"Basically nine times out of ten. There's a Hollow aura on her. It's so faint that even she herself probably hasn't noticed it, but it still can't escape my perception," Kirinji Tenjiro said with a face full of confidence.
"Heh! Another child who fell because of emotions."
Captain-Commander Yamamoto snorted coldly in dissatisfaction, almost instantly figuring out the reason for Sui Feng's betrayal.
And once her betrayal was confirmed, the ending was actually already decided.
It just so happened that he could use this matter to give his lazy disciple a proper lesson.
