Sakura's condition was indeed accepted by Qin Fang, but from the current perspective, mentioning this condition was more or less pointless.

As for Qin Fang himself, he wasn't particularly bothered, so he temporarily set it aside…

The group left the Musashi School and returned to Sapporo, found a place to stay, but didn't go back to look for Saburo Kohara.

Saburo Kohara used to be backed by the Musashi School, by Kawada Musashi and his son, but now... the entire Musashi School has almost been annihilated, leaving him like a lost soul.

This guy, although a figure in himself, might find a new patron to survive, but he is no longer reliable and most likely to betray Qin Fang and the others.

After all, this is an excellent opportunity for him to prove his loyalty... although doing so is extremely risky.

"Miss Sakura, the next matters are going to trouble you..."

Qin Fang and the group settled down, but Sakura had to leave. To have Qin Zi participate in the Priest trials, Sakura must return to the Hokkaido Shrine.

"Are you sure you won't put any restrictions on me?"

Sakura lightly nodded and then asked with some curiosity.

"Since I agreed to your condition, although I don't know when it can be executed, the basic trust is still necessary. Imposing restrictions on you would be too unreasonable..."

Qin Fang spoke boldly, lifting all of Sakura's restrictions, letting her go as if he wasn't worried about her turning against them at all.

Sakura turning against them is not impossible, and the possibility is even quite high. After all, Qin Fang's previous actions indeed made Sakura extremely angry.

Moreover, Sakura was clearly aware that Qin Fang had many unknown secrets in his hand and also possessed a living Spiritual Medicine, Lingyuan Grass.

Although she only heard Qin Fang say so, without actually seeing the medicine, she felt that what Qin Fang said was likely true.

Such a precious medicine, if known to the Hokkaido Shrine, would definitely make them dispatch all experts to siege Qin Fang and his group... they might even use hidden resources!

"Then I must thank Mr. Qin for his generosity..."

Sakura smiled charmingly, said nothing more, and lightly left Qin Fang and the group's residence, returning to the Hokkaido Shrine.

Of course, Qin Fang also restored her appearance, returning her to that stunning beauty…

Whether Sakura appearing so openly outside would cause any disturbance was no longer a concern for Qin Fang.

However, they wouldn't just remain idle either, and began making some preparations.

"What?"

When Qin Fang disclosed his plan, the brothers were all astonished.

"Old Qin, are you sure you want to do this?"

Monk Wukong's face was serious, clearly considering this matter. After thinking for a while, he said, "Have you thought it through? Once exposed, we'll face the entire Japan Martial World's pursuit..."

"Are we afraid of their pursuit?"

Qin Fang smiled, unconcerned.

"That's true..."

Monk Wukong and the others laughed too. What they were doing had already severely offended the Japan Martial World, so being hunted by them was quite normal.

The reason they could still roam free was that their whereabouts hadn't been exposed, remaining safe for now.

"Although we don't fear these little devils, this matter needs long-term planning, after all... this time, the opponent is not such trash like the Musashi School but one of the Six Great Holy Lands..."

Monk Wukong was relatively more mature and prudent, leaning towards a cautious approach.

"Actually, there's no need for everyone to be so tense. I'm making this decision because I have insider information, otherwise... I wouldn't dare to do it even if I were beaten to death!"

Seeing the others so cautious, Qin Fang spoke with a smile.

"Insider information?"

Ji Xiang and the others became spirited immediately.

Without any leads, trying to take on such entities as the Six Great Holy Lands was like hitting a rock with an egg, perhaps there were some soft targets, but it was still highly risky.

But with insider information, it was a completely different story.

"I also got to know it from Sakura, it turns out..."

Qin Fang simply shared the insider information he obtained with the others, which astonished them into silence.

"As for the authenticity of this insider information, I'm not entirely certain either, but, well, there's no harm in checking it out..."

After sharing the insider information, Qin Fang naturally didn't forget to remind everyone that whether Sakura is trustworthy remains unknown, so the truth of the insider information also needs to be verified.

However, Qin Fang roughly knew that the information should be true... Although he failed to use the Mind Reading Technique at the time, he could vaguely make such a judgment.

After all, if Sakura really wanted to betray them, she could easily have disclosed their whereabouts to the Hokkaido Shrine, which would have benefited the Hokkaido Shrine, not...

"Old Qin, you arrange the action plan, we'll all listen to your command!"

Monk Wukong and the others naturally understood this principle, and all expressed their agreement, each appearing very excited, ready to go all out.

…

Sapporo Ryoyu Hot Springs.

This is the most famous hot spring hotel in Sapporo, and if you want to soak in a hot spring in Sapporo, this is the best choice.

At this moment, Qin Fang and his group arrived here, but they had undergone quite a transformation...

"Young Master Kitatori..."

As soon as they walked into the hotel, a server quickly came up to them. Upon seeing Qin Fang's face, his expression changed immediately, but he suppressed his emotions and cautiously greeted him.

"Hmph~~"

Qin Fang let out a soft hum but didn't respond to him, while Hattori Sanzo behind him casually handed over some bills.

Indeed, Qin Fang and his group swaggered into this hotel, but they were no longer Qin Fang and his group from Dragon Country, but had turned into the long-missing Young Master Kitatori Kojirou of Anping Shrine.

The others also assumed different identities, with Monk Wukong and Song Qingshan becoming some dissolute followers around Young Master Kitatori Kojirou, Ji Xiang turned into Red Devil Asakura Ken, Hattori Sanzo became an inconspicuous old servant, while Qin Zi became a beautiful vase...

"Thank you, Young Master Kitatori, thank you, Young Master Kitatori..."

The server, initially scared pale and too timid to look up, suddenly became spirited upon receiving this handful of tips.

Although Young Master Kitatori Kojirou was difficult to serve and notoriously ill-tempered, he, just a mere server, could muddle through. Considering the tips, he decided to endure it, though he was puzzled about Young Master Kitatori Kojirou's improved temper!

Having accepted the money, his work became naturally more efficient, and the server took it upon himself to lead the way, guiding Qin Fang and his group to Young Master Kitatori Kojirou's room.

"Has my big brother returned?"

Qin Fang didn't care about the server's thoughts and calmly asked as they walked.

"Your big brother has returned... He should be soaking in the hot spring by now!"

The server showed his understanding promptly, as this master had a significant status and his movements were closely monitored by all hotel parties, so it wasn't surprising that this server knew as well.

"Hmph~~"

Qin Fang nodded, leaving it at that.

Under the guidance of this server, they arrived at the room previously occupied by Young Master Kitatori Kojirou. Although they didn't have a room card or key, the server respectfully opened the door for them.

Given Young Master Kitatori Kojirou's notable status, even the hotel manager wouldn't dare slight him, so opening a door was just a trivial matter.

If someone insisted on some principled stance, firstly, the hotel manager wouldn't spare him, and secondly, the ill-tempered Young Master Kitatori Kojirou would probably smack him to death...

Of course, the server received another generous tip when he left, which considerably brightened his mood, while he mumbled to himself, "Young Master Kitatori isn't always bad-tempered after all..."

Fortunately, Qin Fang didn't hear the server's thoughts; otherwise, he would certainly have mocked him, considering the real Young Master Kitatori Kojirou was long gone to hell.

"Old Qin, what's next?"

After the server left, Qin Fang and Ji Xiang conducted a thorough search to confirm that they weren't being monitored, and then the group sat down.

"Everyone split up and gather as much information as possible... However, don't touch Kitatori Kazuo; we don't want to alert the snake!"

Qin Fang briefly arranged the tasks, focusing on gathering intel for now. Their target was Kitatori Kojirou's older brother, Kitatori Kazuo.

Kitatori Kazuo had a notable status, being the grandson of the current Sect Master of Anping Shrine, Kitatori Shinichi, and the current favored successor of Anping Shrine.

Compared to Kitatori Kojirou's indolent and dissipated nature, Kitatori Kazuo was far more competent, ranked among the top three in his generation, and comparable to Hattori Hisanari...

Therefore, he was not only the predetermined successor for the next generation of Anping Shrine but also a popular candidate for the Great Priest...

And Qin Fang's target this time was him, planning to eliminate this prominent figure discreetly at such a critical moment...

This was also the reason Qin Fang assumed the identity of the deceased Young Master Kitatori Kojirou, as only through this identity could he approach Kitatori Kazuo without arousing suspicion!
