Chapter 1,156 The Dilemma of Haiji Island
Looking at the witches who lowered their heads around him, Bai Qiyun couldn't help but secretly cursed in his heart.
Where did this rich man come from?
Even in the castle tower, he had never seen the samurai respect General Raiden so heartfeltly.
These witches were probably trained from the inside out by Coral Palace Xinhai.
You are really resourceful, the mermaid princess.
But Bai Qiyun still noticed something strange in Coral Palace's heart.
Along the way, the other party showed great respect, but he did not mention or even look at Kuki Ninja next to him even once.
Don’t you know him?
No, that's not right.
This woman could even get the information about his trip, so how could she not know that Kuki-nin, who was very close to Yae Shenzi in the castle tower, could almost be called a close minister.
In this case, there is only one answer left.
That's because Coral Palace Shinkai wants to give Shinobu Kuki a punch.
Thinking of this, Bai Qiyun shook his head slightly.
If Coral Palace Heart Sea's trick was used on a woman with a high self-esteem like Yae Kamiko, it would be childish, but it would still be somewhat effective.
But after traveling all the way, Bai Qiyun has a general understanding of the Kuki-nin next to him.
This is a pure migrant worker. There is no point in playing this game with a migrant worker. After all, she has no sense of honor and disgrace tied to her job.
If you want to show off, just do it, as long as she can get her salary.
It can be said that this punch was hit on the cotton, and its power was useless.
A group of people walked into the shrine of Sōun Shrine. Unlike the courtyard outside, the shrine was extremely quiet and there were few people around.
The scene in the temple was the same as the last time he came here.
It looked like it had not been renovated even after the war. There were maps of Kaiji Island hanging everywhere, with several circles drawn in black pen on them.
But before Bai Qiyun could take a closer look, Coral Palace Xinhai stood up and put the map away.
Really, if you don't want him to see it, you should put it away earlier. It's weird for people to care.
Bai Qiyun complained in his heart, but he also knew in his heart that it was not him who was worried about Haifang, but someone around him.
He glanced at Kuki Shinobu beside him without leaving any trace, but found that she was not paying attention at all, she was just standing beside him silently, and her soul had already gone to nowhere.
"Please take a seat."
As the host, Coral Palace Xinhai welcomed the two people into the room and sat down on the tatami.
The careful Bai Qiyun discovered that the cushions on the tatami were a bit far apart.
Let’s not ignore the cushions of Coral Palace Shinkai for now, but the cushions prepared by this woman for him and Kuki Shinobu are separated by two ends of the coffee table.
This guy is just playing tricks.
Bai Qiyun ignored Coral Palace Xinhai, walked directly to the coffee table and placed two cushions that were far apart together.
But what he got in exchange was Xinhai's eyes of silent protest.
As if Jiu Qi Ren didn't notice anything, he sat directly next to Bai Qiyun.
Seeing her like this, Coral Palace's heart froze and he could only keep his resentment deep in his heart.
"Mr. Bai, what's the important thing for you to come to Haiji Island this time?"
Do you get straight to the point right from the start?
Bai Qiyun, who had just sat down, moved his eyes slightly, facing the displeased gaze in his heart, he could only return a wry smile.
There's nothing I can do about it, the palms and backs of my hands are all flesh.
If he showed too much inclination towards Sakumo Shrine and waited for Kuuki-nin to make a small report after he returned, he could not imagine how much that woman would come to bother him later.
In order to prevent the situation from continuing to be embarrassing, Bai Qiyun quickly followed Xinhai's words and tried to distract the woman's attention with business.
"Well...actually it's a problem with the geology of Heguan Island."
Bai Qiyun told Xinhai without reservation what he really told him, but the latter's face did not waver at all.
It was obviously a crisis that affected the entire Inazuma, but Xinhai seemed to have heard that the garbage next door was piled at the door today and he forgot to throw it away.
Is this guy the priest of the shrine?
As if he noticed the subtlety in Bai Qiyun's eyes, a smile gradually appeared on Coral Palace Xinhai's sweet face.
"Mr. Bai, there is no need to be like this. In fact, I have heard about this matter for a long time. After all, I am also the priest of the shrine and the living goddess of Kaiji Island."
Coral Palace Xinhai introduced his name again, and deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the last few words.
Okay, okay, I know you are the boss of Haiji Island, there is no need to emphasize it again.
Bai Qiyun lowered his eyes and looked at the cup filled with tea in front of him, as if he were looking at some peerless treasure, concentrating on it.
But in fact, he was just diverting his attention, fearing that Coral Palace Shinkai would say something later that would easily make Kuqi Shinobi snitch.
"If that's the case, it's easy. The Narukami Taisha Shrine wants to gather the power of the three shrines to reactivate the power left by the God of Steel to strengthen the seals of the leyline nodes. Now they want to seek cooperation from Kaiji Island."
Bai Qiyun's words were concise and concise, but Coral Palace Xinhai did not agree directly.
She took a sip from the tea cup in her hand, and the elegant fragrance of tea floated throughout the room and spread outwards.
After a while, I sorted out my thoughts in my mind, and a pair of wonderful eyes shone with the light of wisdom.
"This matter is my duty. Even if you don't come over, I will still participate."
Hearing this, Bai Qiyun couldn't help but feel hehe in his heart.
That's what he said, but at the fireworks display that just ended, he never heard Xinhai mention this matter even a word.
If he hadn't arrived at Haiji Island now, this woman would probably still pretend not to know.
However, he also knew in his heart that it wasn't that Coral Palace Xinhai didn't want to get involved in this matter, but he just couldn't take action against Narukami Taisha Shrine easily.
At the very least, we cannot bow our heads and actively cooperate, otherwise the already awkward status of the two major shrines will easily be reduced to Soun Shrine being under Narukami Taisha Shrine.
This is absolutely unacceptable to Coral Palace, and it is also undesirable to see.
In the same way, the same is true for Asara Shrine.
That's why Zhen found Bai Qiyun and asked him to mediate. Obviously, the shogunate also knew about the awkward relationship between the three.
Because there is no distinction between high and low, no one will take the initiative to come to the door in advance. Moreover, this incident happened to happen outside the power coverage of the three major shrines, so no one took the initiative.
In fact, this matter has been delayed for almost half a year, and it is still within control at the moment. If Bai Qiyun hadn't happened to come to Daozhi at this time, I'm afraid this matter could have continued to be delayed.
Chapter completed!
