Qingdeng's hands, which were practicing drawing and sheathing the sword, stopped involuntarily.

"Huh?" Aonto tilted his head to Uehara, "Cat monk? Female ninja?"

Inheriting all the memories of "Original Orange Qingden", Qingden naturally knows who the Cat Monk is.

About three months ago, a very powerful thief who only appeared at night appeared in Edo.

Generally, thieves steal the property of rich people.

But this is not the case with this big thief.

This big thief only stole money from the Yakuza of Edo or those notorious villains in Edo.

He acted boldly and actively. In just three months, there were countless evil people or evil forces who had stolen money from this big thief. The total amount stolen is conservatively estimated to be several thousand taels of gold.

This kind of thief who only attacks evil people and does not harm the common people has always been easy to win the favor of the common people.

After all, the common people like people and stories about people who deal with evildoers on their behalf and vent their evil thoughts on their behalf.

As far as Qingnobo knows - with the activeness of this thief, this thief has become very popular among Edo people, and some storytellers have even written stories related to this thief.

Although what this big thief did can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people, thieves are still thieves, and the government cannot sit idly by and ignore it.

Therefore, after the reputation of this thief rose, the Edo Minami and Hokubu Offices quickly opened the case and launched an investigation.

Although the government's investigation was very rapid, the results of the investigation... can be said to be horrific...

Through careful investigation and the information provided by the intelligence network, Edo's "Sanchai" have successfully found the thief at the scene of his robbery several times.

But every time without exception - he escaped.

This thief's movement is astonishingly agile!

Whether it was the top of a fence that was only the width of a foot or the roof of a house with an extremely steep slope, this thief could walk on everything with ease.

Every time the arrest was made, the result was very similar - the thief was found with great difficulty, but the thief quickly jumped up to the nearby roof or somewhere else in a blink of an eye.

, this person disappeared into the night...

Because this thief could move quickly on roofs, walls and other complex terrains like a cat, the government gave him a nickname - Cat Little Monk.

I have to say, this nickname is indeed very well chosen.

The thief's movements were indeed as agile as a cat's.

The Cat Monk comes and goes without a trace, so until now, the government still knows very little about the Cat Monk.

Because Mao Xiaoseng always wears black clothes, and his hair, nose and lower parts are all wrapped in black cloth. Only a pair of eyes are exposed on the whole body, and his gender and age cannot be seen at all. Therefore, the government even does not know whether he is

Male or female, I don't know how old she is.

Currently, the government only knows three useful pieces of information about Mao Xiaoseng:

1. He only comes out at night.

2. He only attacks the evil people and evil forces in Edo.

3. He has a petite body, with a height of only 1.5 meters at most.

A height of 1.5 meters - this was really common in Japan during the Edo period. Due to diet, genes, etc., not to mention women in this era, there were many men who were 1.5 meters tall.

With a height of 1.75 meters, Qingden is considered a very rare "giant" in this era.

"The cat monk is a female ninja...where did you hear this?" Qingden put down the wooden sword in his hand.

Uehara responded with a somewhat excited tone:

"I heard what my friends said last night when I was drinking with them."

"My friends said: Recently, many people in the market have been speculating on the identity of Cat Little Monk."

"The cat monk is very petite and is most likely female."

"Then she can walk on roofs, walls and other places as if they were on the ground. Flying over eaves and walls - this has always been a specialty of ninjas."

"So now many people are spreading rumors: Cat Monk is a female ninja who is proficient in ninjutsu."

"And I also heard that the cat monk is very plump here."

Uehara, who had an uncontrollable lustful smile on his face, raised his hands and made several gestures on his chest.

"I've always been very interested in this little cat monk, so I thought I'd come and check with you, the 'Three Chapters', to see if this is really the case."

——Have you always been interested in Cat Monk, or did you become interested in him only after hearing that Cat Monk was a plump female ninja...

After silently complaining about Uehara in his heart, Qingto laughed dumbly:

"It's completely nonsense. Just listen to these market rumors."

"I don't know if there are still any female ninjas in this era when overseas powers have opened their doors to the country."

"But I can tell you with complete certainty: 'The cat monk is a female ninja' and so on are completely unfounded fantasies of ordinary people in the market."

"The Cat Monk is very petite, so she is a female. Because she can fly over walls and fly over walls, she is a ninja? How can we conclude that the Cat Monk is a female ninja just based on these two points..."

Qingdeng said helplessly.

"Petite - a lot of men are petite."

Having said this, Qingdeng couldn't help but glance at a certain 1.55 meter handsome boy in the distance who was concentrating on teaching someone.

"As for flying over the roof and walking over the wall... our government has arrested many people who are agile and can run fast on the roof. They are not ninjas."

"And it's very plump there and so on... This is completely nonsense without any basis."

"Our government hasn't even determined the gender of Cat Monk. How do the people know that Cat Monk is so big? This is probably just a rumor that some boring guy made to attract attention."

"In short - just listen to these market rumors."

After saying that, Qingdeng raised the wooden sword in his hand and continued to concentrate on practicing the sword.

"But, but..." Uehara murmured, as if he wanted to say something else.

But at this moment——

"Uehara, what are you doing?" Okita's words pierced Uehara's eardrums, causing the expression on Uehara's face to freeze instantly.

Okita crossed his arms and walked slowly towards Uehara with an unhappy expression.

"Have you forgotten the rules of our trial gym? When other people are practicing sword practice, don't chat with others casually or disturb others."

"Yes, I'm sorry..." Uehara quickly lowered his head and shrank his body like a child who had done something wrong.

After being reminded like this by Okita, Uehara no longer dared to talk to Qingto and concentrated on massaging, relaxing the muscles in his arms.
