Chapter 438 The Twin Guardian Pavilion built on Mount Huwang, and Mochizuki Kaoru's unfriendly
Osaka Gakufu is located on two mountains, about seven or eight miles from the coastline. The mountains are rugged and steep, and the winding mountain roads go around the mountainside. You can see sharp bends on the edge of cliffs from time to time. Anyone with poor driving skills would end up with a fatal accident.
Because the national pavilion is built on two mountains facing each other, it is also called the Twin Guardian Pavilion by the islanders. From a distance, it looks like two gray and white castles standing on the mountains.
Between these two pavilions lies a high, suspended cliff, connected by a suspended wooden walkway along the mountain path. To put it nicely, it's a suspended wooden walkway, but in reality, it's just a suspension bridge that looks more aesthetically pleasing than a regular suspension bridge.
As the group walked on the suspended wooden walkway, people would occasionally peek down. Jiang Yu remarked with some emotion, "The eaves of this double-guard tower are actually a lookout tower. Looking south from the top, you can even see the most intense naval battles in Osaka. That's why many high-ranking military officials in the island nation live here."
Upon hearing this, many people craned their necks to look south, but unfortunately, the view was blocked by the mountain wall. They could only see the outline of the naval battlefield and city walls, and vaguely make out many blurry figures patrolling and guarding the walls.
After passing through the suspended wooden corridor to the West Guardian Pavilion, two island-Japanese mages dressed in samurai attire stood guard at the gate. After noticing Jiang Han and his group approaching, they coldly scrutinized them, as if preventing them from trespassing into a forbidden area.
"Hey, you're the Chinese who came here to spar with us, right?" A young woman dressed in a kimono and carrying a parasol walked out of the Nishigami-kaku, her tone somewhat impolite.
The woman, wearing wooden clogs, walked over with small, quick steps. Normally, Japanese women are elegant, intelligent, gentle, and friendly, but this woman's tone was not very friendly. She closed her parasol and pointed at Jiang Han and the others with her slender, jade-like fingers.
Before anyone else could speak, Mo Fan had already started arguing with the Japanese woman. The woman's attitude wasn't very friendly, so Jiang Han and the others were happy to let Mo Fan verbally attack her.
Although Mo Fan had never won a verbal battle against Jiang Han, this Japanese woman was no match for him. In just a few words, he made her chest heave violently with anger.
"You'll regret what you said!" With that, the island woman deftly tied up her loose hair.
After she put her hair up, her delicate face was revealed. At this moment, Jiang Han remembered the woman's identity. She was the younger generation of the Wangyue clan who guarded the East Guard Pavilion. Her name seemed to be Wangyue Qianxun!
"Make me regret it? That depends on whether you have the ability," Mo Fan said with a hint of disdain.
Without wasting any more words with Mo Fan, Mochizuki Chika took action immediately. Strange vines suddenly sprouted from the smooth gray marble. Gradually, more and more vines emerged from the ground and intertwined to form several cyan petals, each over a meter wide. Five petals gently lifted the vines up from beneath her feet.
"You want to make a move, huh? Then don't blame me for being merciless later." As Mo Fan spoke, rose-red flames ignited around him.
Knowing that the two wouldn't actually fight, he stood not far away and quietly admired the beautiful scenery. And indeed, the scenery of the island nation was truly unique.
"Qianxun, stop right now!" A rough voice came from inside the West Guardian Pavilion.
Mochizuki Chika glared angrily at Mo Fan, and finally dispelled her magic unwillingly. Seeing that someone was coming, Mo Fan could not continue, and also dispelled the flames around him. He was really not afraid of Mochizuki Chika, and he was absolutely confident if they really fought.
"Qianxun, why haven't you changed your temper yet? You didn't even ask who they are before you kicked them out?" An old man with a thick beard walked out of the pavilion. The old man was radiant, and if it weren't for his gray hair that revealed his age, it would be hard for anyone to believe that he was a man over fifty years old.
"What's there to ask? This arrogant brat actually said he wanted to demolish our Shuangshou Pavilion, and he said it right in front of me, the eldest daughter of the Wangyue family! Do you think I can swallow this?" Wangyue Qianxun said angrily.
"It's all your fault for speaking ill of others first. Alright, stop causing trouble here. They should be our honored guests!" The bearded old man glared at Mochizuki Chika and said.
"Distinguished guests? They consider themselves distinguished guests?" Mochizuki Chika's tone still carried a hint of hostility.
Apart from a few individuals who were somewhat agreeable, Mochizuki Chizun didn't like the others much, especially Mo Fan, who had threatened to destroy the Twin Guardian Pavilion.
"Old man, your daughter is really inconsiderate. If you had come any later, her pretty face would have been ruined," Mo Fan retorted without hesitation.
The bearded old man was slightly taken aback, and at this moment, Jiang Han, who had been watching the drama unfold, stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Alright, this is their territory, so shut up."
"This old man is a high-level mage, so be careful. If you get killed by him, I won't be collecting your corpse." Jiang Han whispered a few words in Mo Fan's ear, and Mo Fan then calmed down a bit.
Although Mochizuki Chika was furious with Mo Fan, she couldn't directly take action because of the obstruction of her elder, Mochizuki Mingjian. Moreover, there was a Chinese person trying to smooth things over, so she could only swallow her displeasure and wait for an opportunity to teach Mo Fan a lesson.
"You must be members of the Huaxia National Government here for training," said the bearded old man with the famous sword, Wangyue, with a smile.
"Hmm, this is our identity badge." With that, Ai Jiangtu took out the identity badge and handed it to Wangyue Mingjian, but Wangyue Mingjian did not reach out to take it, and did not even look at it.

Perhaps sensing Ai Jiangtu's doubts, Wangyue Mingjian smiled and said, "You want to ask why I don't doubt your identity codes? The reason I don't need to verify them is mainly because no one would impersonate the National Government Team to challenge our Shuang Shou Ge experts."
