Seeing Bai Qiyun's figure, Kamisato Ayaka started talking intermittently.

"Sorry, I was practicing my sword just now and didn't notice."

"This is not a big deal, there is no need to worry about it."

Bai Qiyun walked to Kamisato Ayaka and looked at her face dripping with sweat.

Was it his imagination? He felt that the girl in front of him was sweating a little more than when she was just practicing the sword.

"Go back first. You're prone to catching a cold if you sweat so much and get blown by the wind."

After saying that, Bai Qiyun nodded slightly to her and walked straight into the house.

Kamisato Ayaka quickly followed his footsteps.

The two of them walked on the corridor outside the house one after another.

After a while, Kamisato Ayaka took three steps and then two steps at a time, and came to Bai Qiyun's side to walk side by side with him.

"Mr. Bai also got up very early."

"Fortunately, I slept relatively soundly yesterday, but the others haven't gotten up yet."

"It's good to have a good rest."

When the two of them were talking, the servants around them kept a certain distance, as if they didn't see the two of them.

"It's going to be very difficult this time. If it doesn't work, don't force it."

Bai Qiyun knew that even with the energy of the Shenli family, it would not be easy to mobilize such huge resources in a short period of time.

From what he could think of so far, a fireworks display at sea would probably require a fleet of ships.

It’s not very easy to implement just this one social policy.

Due to the previous lockdown, the entire Inazuma shipbuilding industry has almost come to a standstill, and almost all large ships owned by private families have been surrendered.

After the lockdown order was lifted, the one responsible for monitoring fisheries was the Tianling Executive, while the one responsible for maintaining maritime safety was the Tianling Executive.

Only Shengxing does not have the power to exercise power at sea, and naturally it does not have the sea power to exercise power.

Under such circumstances, if the Kamisato family wanted to acquire a fleet, they would most likely have to borrow it.

And as long as you ask to borrow, you have to owe others a favor.

Bai Qiyun naturally didn't want to see the Kamisato family oweing favors to others because of his request, especially the favors of the other two major disciples.

Hearing this, Kamisato Ayaka couldn't help but smile, like the snow melting in spring.

"Don't worry about this. Although it's a bit urgent, it's not a big deal."

Although the power of the Kamisato family is mainly reflected in social practice, it does not mean that it is not involved in other fields.

When it comes to fleets, in addition to Inazuma's two main missions of surveying and Tianling, there are actually two other forces that have their own maritime power.

"Yeah...too."

Bai Qiyun looked at Linghua's confident expression and immediately figured out the key.

Of those two forces, one is Sōun Shrine on Kaiji Island. They who once organized a resistance army will naturally have no shortage of fleets. The other is Asara Shrine, which leads one side. They who manage Qinglai Island also naturally have it.

A certain maritime defense force.

And coincidentally, as the core of the society, the Kamisato family has a pretty good relationship with these two.

Bai Qiyun and Kamisato Ayaka returned indoors together. Linghua, who was covered in sweat after exercising, deliberately distanced herself from Bai Qiyun.

It doesn't matter whether it's indoors or outdoors, the smell on my body is still very obvious.

"Then I'll go back first. Mr. Bai will invite you for breakfast later."

"Ah...well, I will take them there if they wake up."

Kamisato Ayaka bowed slightly and then walked towards her bedroom.

Bai Qiyun looked at the girl's leaving figure and her steady footsteps, and couldn't help but admire in his heart.

As expected, someone who started training at a young age has a similar approach to Kujo Sora.

He had just watched Kamisato Ayaka's swordsmanship for a while. The sword's light was as sharp as an ice blade cutting through the air, and its moves were dazzling and compelling.

Bai Qiyun is no longer the layman who knew nothing before. From his perspective, Kamisato Ayaka's swordsmanship can be called a master's degree.

As long as her elemental power accumulates to a certain level, she will be able to step into the captain level without any hindrance.

And if the younger sister is so powerful, then her older brother, Kamisato Ayato, must be not weak either.

Even the big families in Mondstadt can hardly do this with two captains.

"It's really amazing."

Bai Qiyun gained a new understanding of the prosperity of the Shenli family.

————

As for Kamisato Ayaka's invitation to breakfast, Bai Qiyun said that he would bring Yae Kamiko and the others there.

But actually when it was time to have breakfast, not one of these three lazy guys got up.

Bai Qiyun could only go to the banquet alone.

When he came to the restaurant, he found that the amount of breakfast placed in front of Kamisato Ayaka was based on everyone's portion.

"Sorry, those guys didn't get up, so we had to eat first."

Bai Qiyun looked at the dishes on the table and couldn't help but apologize from the bottom of his heart.

To him, wasting food is shameful.

"It doesn't matter. It happens that people at home got up very early and they haven't had time to eat yet. Just give it to them."

On such a large dining table, there were only two people, Kamisato Ayaka and Bai Qiyun.

Bai Qiyun chose a seat closer to Linghua and sat down, looking less out of place.

"The last time Mr. Bai came to Shenli's house was too short, and he didn't have much opportunity to entertain you. This time, he must make up for it."

With a smile on her face, Ayaka pushed the plate in her hand in front of the man, holding one breakfast snack after another for him.

Although Bai Qiyun didn't like eating these things early in the morning, after all, it was someone's kindness and he couldn't refuse it.

However, after eating a few in a row, he became choked and panicked.

"Come on, come on, you can eat too."

There was no way, in order not to become a starved person, Bai Qiyun could only imitate Linghua and put breakfast on the other person's plate.

Seeing this, Ayaka stopped moving her hands.

She saw that the plate in front of her was piling up into a small mountain at a speed visible to the naked eye. If she didn't eat it, it might overflow.

"That's enough! I don't eat that much in the morning."

Ayaka couldn't help but burst into tears when she saw this.

These are almost double her usual food intake.

But she couldn't throw away the things on the plate. It seemed that her recent weight loss plan had failed again.

Otherwise I won’t eat at lunch today.

Ayaka wordlessly stuffed the breakfast on the plate into her mouth gracefully.

However, if others knew what she was thinking, her reputation as the "Egret Princess" might be shaken a bit.

"well."

Looking at the mountain-like meal, Kamisato Ayaka couldn't help but sigh.

"What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing. Mr. Bai, you'd better eat quickly."

Linghua didn't dare to continue chatting with Bai Qiyun during breakfast. If there were more buns on her plate, she might not even want to eat dinner.

"Really? You're still growing, so you have to eat well."

Bai Qiyun thought it was a problem with the taste of breakfast, but his guess was indeed correct, but in the wrong direction.

"Yes...yes."
