As for the others... ... apart from him, most of them also came for Kujo Sara.
No matter what, she is still a big shot in front of General Lei Dian.
There were even generals who taught swordsmanship personally.
There are not many people in the entire Inazuma who can do this.
"Master, I think it's inappropriate to hold a big banquet at a time like this."
Kujo Sara, who was sitting next to Kujo Takayuki, looked at the guests having fun below. After wanting to say something but stopping himself several times, he finally couldn't help but open his mouth to remind them.
To be honest, as the adopted son of the Kujo family, she was flattered to be able to sit next to the head of the family.
But at this moment, she just felt like sitting on pins and needles.
Although she had just returned to Inazuma Castle, she had already noticed the changes in the city.
She never imagined that during the time she was away, the image of Tianling Bugyosho had become so terrible.
What's more, the strange sound incident that happened recently in Inazuma has affected the entire Narukami Island. The most important thing at this time should be to find out the source of the strange sound, rather than living a life of debauchery here.
"Sa Luo, although you are the adopted son of my Kujo family, I have always treated you as my own child, so... ... no matter what, you, as the heir of Kujo, deserve such a welcoming banquet."
If it were in the past, even if he didn't scold Kujo Sara harshly, he would not have given him a good look.
But perhaps it was because she had earned enough face for herself this time, and she was also happier, so after drinking, Kujo Takayuki changed his temper.
"I... ... "
He looked at Kujo Takayuki in front of him with a complicated expression, and finally the words that were stuck in his chest turned into a sigh.
Kujo Sara is a man of swift and decisive action, and usually gives people a rather dull impression.
Apart from matters related to General Lei Dian, there were few things that could move her.
But even so, she is still a girl after all.
She was observant enough to notice that even though she was the adopted child of the Kujo family, the way Kujo Takayuki looked at her was different from the way Kamajui looked at her.
Rather than being a family member, they are more like... ... tools.
Or a sharp sword.
If she can bring enough value to the Kujo family, then she will be the adopted son of the Kujo family.
If there is no corresponding value
No, the master of the family has done me a favor, I cannot have such disrespectful thoughts.
Shaking his head slightly, Kujo Sara whispered again: "Master, I am a little tired after the long journey on the way home. I hope you will allow me to go back to my room to rest for a while."
"... ...Okay, go ahead and I'll explain the guests."
After hearing what Kujo Sara said, Kujo Takayuki was a little unhappy.
After all, she is the protagonist of this banquet.
But after seeing that Kujo Sara did look tired, he finally agreed to his request.
It’s not that he started to care about his adopted son. His original intention was to let Kujo Sara intimidate those who had ulterior motives in secret.
But she has no deterrent power at all.
"Thank you for your help, Master."
After getting permission from Kujo Takayuki, Kujo Sara finally breathed a sigh of relief, bowed, and left the banquet through a side door.
As for how Kujo Takayuki should explain it to others, it has nothing to do with her anymore.
She just wanted to get away from there.
Walking down the corridor, stepping on the creaking wooden floor.
Although the sounds of revelry were still coming from behind him, the uncomfortable feeling that Kujo Sara felt was gradually disappearing.
Holding the square column engraved with the triple thunder pattern, he looked at the dojo in the courtyard with the help of the moonlight.
The dojo that was once bustling with activity was now deserted.
The longbow was covered with ashes, but there were no new marks on the target.
Even the venue originally used for martial arts performances was covered with a thin layer of cherry blossoms.
In the past... ...this kind of thing would never be allowed.
Such sentimental things cannot remain in the sacred arena.
If the area is not cleaned in time, the person responsible for cleaning the site that day will inevitably be punished.
Never thought
Has the head of the family changed
Or have you changed
Has the change been so great just by going to the battlefield
"Um?"
Just as Kujo Sara was sighing, she suddenly noticed that a dark shadow had been cast in the moonlight in the courtyard.
In an instant, she determined that the shadow was standing on the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue outside the palace.
Without any hesitation, he tightened the bowstring in his hand, and a sharp arrow containing the element of thunder was also placed on the string, aiming at the top of the statue.
But
"Gone?"
The bow and arrow were slowly lowered, but the hand holding the bowstring never released its grip.
Kujo Sara's amber eyes vigilantly scanned every shadow around her. Her Tengu blood allowed her to see every detail hidden in the dark even at night.
But... ... she still didn't find anything.
With its crow wings spread, the nine-striped Sara flapped its wings and leaped onto the roof, looking for the possible intruder with a wider perspective.
But still no discovery.
"Is it an illusion?"
The divine eye on his waist was still flashing with a faint light of lightning, and Kujo Sara murmured as if talking to himself.
But the figure was so clear, it didn’t seem like an illusion at all
“Buzz—”
Kujo Sara had just relaxed his vigilance when he caught a glimpse of a light blue light flashing in the corner of the wall.
Without any hesitation, she drew her bow and arrow and shot towards the place where the light was coming from.
Then she drew the dagger she carried at her waist and swooped forward with the help of her wings.
Chapter 898: War with the Southern Hemisphere
If there is one place in the entire Inazuma where one can 100% find the members of the Faintui, there is only one place - Tenryo Bugyofu.
That's right, this organization, which was originally responsible for Inazuma's security, is the place where the Fatui have infiltrated the deepest and most seriously.
Even the Heavenly Lord, Kujo Takayuki, had a close relationship with the Fathomless people, and they even exchanged letters frequently.
In fact, during the brief contact, Bai Luo was able to sense that these nine filial piety acts were not completely subservient to the Fatui.
His flattery in front of Bai Luo was more about trying to gain benefits from the Fatui and use them to eliminate his own dissidents.
But don’t the fools have the same idea
It is hard to say who will be exploited by whom in the end.
However, Bai Luo really didn't expect that when he wanted to sneak into Tianling Bugyo to check the situation, he actually met an acquaintance - Kujo Sara.
Originally, he had relied on his own abilities to hide himself.
Unexpectedly, not long after coming out of invisibility, the mysterious wrist ornament on his wrist lit up.
This means that the message I sent to Ye Lan before finally received a reply.
But isn’t this letter a bit too long
It even lasted so long that it caught him off guard, and at such a critical moment.
Bai Luo grabbed the arrow and threw it away immediately.
After being thrown out, the abundant thunder element exploded on the ground covered with cherry blossoms, startling the sky full of pink cherry blossoms.
“Keng—”
In the cherry blossom rain, Bai Luo raised the dagger in his hand and used the empty space in the middle to block the dagger in Kujo Sara's hand.
As an archer, he actually chose to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy
Maybe it sounds a little unbelievable, but when it comes to Kujo Sara, it makes so much sense.
As an active general of the Tenryo Bugyo, she is not only good at bow and arrow shooting, but also has considerable experience in swordsmanship and was once mentored by General Raiden.
The skills she learned were more swordplay, archery, and spearmanship.
It's more like a killing technique on the battlefield.
As long as she can achieve her goal, any weapon at hand can become her tool to kill the enemy.
"It's you!"
Under the moonlight, when Kujo Sara saw who had sneaked into the Tenryo Bugyofu, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
In an instant, the slight surprise turned into frost.
"Feather shift!"
Pitch-black crow wings spread out behind him, and Kujo Sara let go of the dagger in his hand without hesitation, using the power of his wings to retreat quickly.
But Bai Luo seemed to have expected her to do this. As she moved backwards, he grabbed the dagger that she had released with his backhand and rushed towards her, passing through the rain of cherry blossoms, always keeping the same distance from her.
The state of mind she had developed from years on the battlefield prevented her from becoming flustered.
She clenched her right hand and a feather fan appeared in her hand.
"Thousands of lightning bolts!"
As the feather fan in his hand was waved, several Tengu curse thunders fell from the sky, separating the two of them and forcing back Bai Luo who had been chasing them.
Like a falling leaf, Bai Luo retreated a distance, and as if he had calculated it well, he stopped steadily outside the range of the lightning.
"I say, we are old friends after all, there is no need to kill each other the first time we meet, right?"
Playing with the short sword of Nine Sara in his hand, Bai Luo said helplessly.
If the first arrow shot by Kujo Sara was more like an attempt to subdue him, then the subsequent attacks were almost all killing moves, even elemental bursts were used.
Girl, we had a scandal after all.
The Internet connects us, so cherish this bond.
"I used to respect you as an envoy and treated you with some courtesy, but since you dare to attack the general, you should be prepared to be killed by me."
With just one sentence, Bai Luo understood the reason of the matter.
The matters concerning the castle tower could be hidden from ordinary people, but certainly not from Kujo Sara.
As a die-hard fan of General Raiden, loyalty to General Raiden is her only creed.
Bai Luo demolished the castle tower and had a fight with General Raiden.
For Kujo Sara, this behavior was blasphemy against the Shogun and was an unforgivable sin.
Originally, she thought that Bai Luo should have left Inazuma and returned to Zhidong.
But I never thought that he would dare to show up in Inazuma, and in the Tenryo Bugyofu.
Today, she will definitely not let this villain go.
"Thunder Flash!"
Kujo Sara, who drew the bow and shot the arrow in one go and acted decisively, did not waste too much time talking to Bai Luo.
The arrow containing the element of thunder flew towards Bai Luo at lightning speed.
