Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

“Inazuma Castle has been quite turbulent lately. I was worried that something might happen to you, so I came ahead of time to warn the Kujo family not to be too reckless. But it seems that's no longer necessary.”

Su Hao understood Ayato Kamisato's good intentions. While drinking his milk tea, he said earnestly, "Thank you for your trouble."

With Kujo Sara's help, Su Hao is probably untouchable in Inazuma Castle.

"Then I'll go first."

Ayato Kamisato was about to leave; he had a lot to do. Before parting, he looked at Su Hao and said, "I'm really looking forward to seeing how this show will end."

Chapter 202 Nine Family Matters

Inazuma Castle, inside the Kujo family residence.

Inside a room, Kujo Takayuki and Kujo Sara were having a conversation.

"Saro, what do you think of Su Hao?"

Upon returning home, Kujo Takayuki immediately asked Kujo Sara what her opinion was of Su Hao.

He was well aware of the close relationship between his adopted daughter and Su Hao; the two were good friends.

And this information was from before Su Hao's rise to power.

Although others were able to gather information about Su Hao, most of it was only superficial information. After confirming that Su Hao was a member of the Thunder God's family...

The chief priest of Narukami Shrine had covered up most of Su Hao's information, and Kujo Takayuki didn't know anything about Su Hao either. Now he was asking Kujo Sara.

It was for planning for the future, because Kujo Takayuki also knew that Su Hao didn't have much affection for him, and even seemed to be somewhat hostile.

This was not a good sign. Kujo Takayuki decided to strike first, even if the other party was a member of the Thunder God's family. He wasn't without his own trump cards.

Even if Kujo Takayuki believes he has a trump card, he must proceed with caution, because his opponent might also have the same trump card.

How do you see it?

Kujo Sara didn't think too much about it; she just felt that her father needed to understand Su Hao.

This is good news, because her father and Su Hao are not on good terms, and she is caught in the middle.

If Father takes the initiative to befriend Su Hao, then that would be a great thing.

“He is upright, kind, and brave,” Kujo Sara said, describing Su Hao in her mind. She continued, “He has the talent of a top-notch blacksmith, and I have also tasted the wine he brewed.”

"Its taste is quite good, worthy of the name 'Narukami Sake' given to it by the common people, and besides that..."

Just as Kujo Sara was about to continue speaking, Kujo Takayuki waved his hand and interrupted, "I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about his strength."

"And what his true identity is."

Personality? Blacksmith? Brewer? None of that matters!

The most important thing is! What is Su Hao's strength and his situation with the General?

On the surface, Kujo Takayuki had already gathered all the information, but what he needed was deeper intelligence.

"…………"

After being interrupted by her father, Kujo Sara remained silent for a moment before saying very seriously, "This is a confidential matter. I apologize, Father."

"I can only tell you that Su Hao has a very high status; he is someone who is above the Attorney General."

After being interrupted by Kujo Takayuki, Kujo Sara realized that her father did not seem to intend to reconcile with Su Hao.

Instead, they started targeting him consciously, which is not a good sign, especially considering how much Kujo Sara knows.

It is very clear how important Su Hao's position is to the General.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that the General himself said that we shouldn't learn the Wind and Rock God's inheritances, but rather learn hers.

Let Kujo Sara know that in the General's mind, Su Hao is equivalent to the next successor.

In other words... the next Thor, the Thunder General.

It was somewhat surreal, but Kujo Sara felt it wasn't impossible, because there must be a reason why Su Hao was valued by the General and the other two gods.

As for why, she didn't know, but she believed in divine judgment.

Does something exist that transcends the mandate of heaven?

Kujo Takayuki snorted coldly. Seeing that Kujo Sara remained silent, he angrily questioned, "So, he thinks he can be above my Kujo family?!"

"And you actually spoke up for an outsider, Sara, you really disappoint me."

Kujo Sara was slightly taken aback; she wasn't angry because her father had scolded her.

Rather, it was because his father's words were truly disrespectful.

Although the Kujo family was a major part of the Tenryo magistrate, it does not mean that the Tenryo magistrate belonged to the Kujo family.

On the contrary, even without the Kujo family, other families took their place in the Tenryo Magistrate's office.

Just like the Shabu-bugyō and Kanjō-bugyō, even if the Kamisato family and the Hiiragi family were gone, the Su family and other families would take their place.

In other words, although the Kujo family seems powerful, people only support and ally with him because he is the head of the Tenryō Magistrate.

The Kujo family alone is not enough to make other nobles follow their lead.

"That's enough, you can get out."

Knowing Kujo Sara's personality, Kujo Takayuki didn't ask any more questions.

If she doesn't tell me, no matter how I ask, she probably won't say anything, especially not confidential information.

It's highly likely that the shogun himself spoke up, telling Kujo Sara not to say anything more, which made Kujo Takayuki, who was already in a bad mood, even worse.

"........."

Kujo Sara stood up, preparing to leave the room, but then she suddenly remembered something and looked at Kujo Takayuki, saying, "Father, regarding the matter of suppressing the rebels..."

"What's wrong?" Kujo Takayuki looked up at Kujo Sara and asked calmly, "Did Su Hao say something to you?"

Kujo Sara was slightly taken aback. What did the rebels have to do with Su Hao?

However, Kujo Sara shook her head slightly, and looked at Kujo Takayuki quite seriously, saying, "Su Hao didn't tell me about the resistance army, but I want to join the team to suppress the resistance army."

"Having been defeated by them twice, I have failed the trust of the General and my father, so I think..."

Kujo Sara was serious, and no one understood the rebels' troublesome nature better than her. Although they seemed weak, their troop deployment was in no way inferior to hers.

Especially that Coral Palace Heart Sea, this strategist is quite extraordinary.

In the last defeat, I had the upper hand throughout, but was caught off guard by the opponent's desperate counterattack at the last moment.

The strategist seemed to have seen through his actions; she was too terrifying, and the resistance was said to have expanded again.

Kujo Sara was worried that her father would repeat the same mistake, so she volunteered to join the battle to suppress the rebels.

"No need."

However, Kujo Takayuki resolutely refused. He looked at Kujo Sara coldly and said, "Having failed twice, you are no longer good enough to go to the battlefield."

"You and Kamaji stay in Inazuma Castle to prevent any trouble from happening in the rear."

Kujo Sara's eyes widened slightly. She clenched her fists and exclaimed, her voice rising, "But!!!"

"No buts!" Kujo Takayuki said decisively, "The resistance will be wiped out by me. Kujo Sara obeys orders!"

Upon hearing Kujo Takayuki's words, Kujo Sara gritted her teeth inwardly. In the end, she had no choice but to lower her head in submission and leave the house.

After Kujo Sara left the house, Kujo Takayuki's expression returned to calm.

He knew why Kujo Sara had accompanied him to suppress the rebels.

However, Kujo Takayuki will not allow Kujo Sara to go to the battlefield again, because she is no longer qualified.

In addition, although Kujo Takayuki signed a cooperation agreement with the Gujinshu, not everyone within the Tenryo Magistrate recognized the Gujinshu as allies.

Kujo Sara is a staunch opposition party of the Fools, because the Fools have interfered in the internal affairs of Inazuma, and the Kansei Magistrate is a living example of this.

The previous head of the Hiiragi family is currently serving his prison meal.

Because of this matter, Kujo Sara and Kujo Takayuki argued countless times, but in the end, Kujo Takayuki used his status as the head of the family and the head of the Tenryo Magistrate to forcefully suppress the topic.

In order to successfully suppress the rebels, Kujo Takayuki would never allow Kujo Sara to go to the battlefield, but would only let her and his cowardly second son stay in Inazuma Castle to ensure the safety of the rear.

As for the fools? Kujo Takayuki naturally didn't take them seriously.

Some people think the Fools are dangerous, but in Kujo Takayuki's eyes, this group is a good knife, a knife for his own use.

If you ask him whether he can control his own behavior, he will naturally believe that he can.

Therefore, he defied public opinion and forcibly allied with the Fools in order to annihilate the growing resistance.

If this succeeds, the Kujo family will remain at its peak for the next hundred years, and no one will dare to offend them.

Kujo Takayuki sat quietly in the room, waiting for his subordinates to return.

Soon, as evening fell, with a whoosh, three figures dressed as ninjas appeared inside the house.

"came back?"

Kujo Takayuki looked at his returning subordinates and asked calmly, "How will the fools answer?"

He had already suffered enough today, and Kujo Takayuki secretly hoped that his subordinates would bring him some good news.

The three ninja-like figures looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, one of them stepped forward and said, "The Fools said that they are only responsible for suppressing the resistance."

“We don’t care about anything else; that’s what’s in the contract, and they have to do it.”

Kujo Takayuki's expression turned quite angry. A contract?! That's what the contract says.

But shouldn't the Fools, as allies, be helping each other out of trouble?!

It's good that Su Hao is back, but what if that old fox, the Eightfold Divine Child, who has lived for hundreds of years, returns?!

It would be a lie for Kujo Takayuki to say he wasn't afraid when facing this high-ranking official.

When he was young, while his parents were still alive, the chief priest held this position, and even after he grew up, the chief priest remained in that position.

Despite being the head of the Heavenly Court, if the Palace Master questions why he allied with the Fools...

In the eyes of others, it would seem as if the general was questioning him, making it impossible for him to silence the crowd.

Seeing that his subordinate still had something to say, Kujo Takayuki suppressed his anger and continued, "Go on."

Another ninja stepped forward, hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and continued, "The Fools also said that if you want to fight to the death, then only the net will break, not the fish."
