That night, Qian Laili walked out of the big shrine and went to his residence in the city.

Qinglai Island is not as prosperous as Mingshen Island. Basically, the residents still rely on farming as their main income. Even the most commercially prosperous road sections have turned off their lights and rested at this time.

The carriage carried the girl slowly along the road. As the road continued to go uphill, there were fewer and fewer houses around it, until at the end of the road, an antique attic appeared in front of it.

The attic has two floors, and the courtyard covers an area of ​​thousands of square meters. The style is similar to Liyue Daozhu's style, and there is a ginkgo leaf mark printed on the head of the attic.

This is Qian Laili's residence in the city.

"Wow~"

The girl opened the door, placed the horse demon and walked into the house.

The house was brightly lit, and people were already waiting inside.

No, maybe she is the one who doesn't go home very often.

"A small gift?"

Hearing the movement at the door, a middle-aged woman with a gentle appearance walked out of the room, holding a large spoon in her hand, as if she had just been cooking in the kitchen.

"Mom, I'm back."

"Welcome back~"

After saying a very Inazuma-like greeting, Asari followed her mother to the living room.

In the living room, a serious-looking middle-aged man was holding the newspaper in his hand and looking back and forth, as if trying to find something that had been missed, until he heard the footsteps of the mother and daughter in his ears.

Only when he heard the sound did he notice Qian Laili beside him.

"Xiaoli is back today."

Different from the mother's tenderness, the father's greetings always seem heavier, but it is precisely because of this that the whole family feels so safe.

"Ah... I went to the big shrine today, and I went home to have a look on the way."

Just after returning home, Asari explained to his father the reason for returning home, while taking off the loose miko uniform he was wearing and putting it on a clothes rack nearby.

Only then were the regular clothes hidden under the miko's uniform revealed.

Because it was early spring and the weather had not warmed up much, Qian Laili still had to put on clothes inside and outside before going out.

As the 'mother' of the family, Haruko Asara finished the dishes in the kitchen and served them to the dining table in less than ten minutes.

These dishes are like their home shrine, full of a mixture of flavors from the Inazuma and Liyue regions.

For example, in this Mapo Tofu dish, in addition to Liyue’s traditional minced beef and tender tofu, she also added some local spices and specialties from Inazuma.

For example....General Crab and Tianyun Caoshi.

If Bai Qiyun came to see this practice, he might be angry to death, but as a local, Qian Laili was very happy to eat it.

In addition to these dishes modified from Liyue cuisine, there are also several local specialty dishes.

For example, salad with Tianyun grass, fried eel and so on.

This dish, which is a mixture of Liyue and Daozhu flavors, is very popular on Qinglai Island, and almost every household will make a few of it.

Even Asari's father, Nakamura Tianichi, was full of praise for his wife's craftsmanship without showing the slightest hint of resistance.

Asara Rei's family has been the chief minister of Asara Shrine for hundreds of years, and has been in charge of the shrine for generations.

I don't know if it is because of the blessing of the gods, but the children born to the Qianlai family will always be female.

Therefore, the Qianlai family has been recruiting new members for generations, so the child's surname has always been "Qianlai".

On this basis, the Qianlai family derived a rule for the replacement of palace ministers, that is, when the eldest daughter of the palace minister's children turns fourteen, the current palace minister will be replaced by his eldest daughter, and the previous generation of palace ministers will need to

On the sidelines, he assisted his daughter so that she could grow into a qualified Qianlai Palace Priest.

Qian Laili has just come of age, which means that she has been a palace minister for more than four years. Although there are still some aspects of her behavior that cannot be separated from the girlish behavior, in general, she can be regarded as a qualified palace minister.

But...in today's troubled times, just being a qualified palace minister is not enough.

After the meal, Qian Laili and his mother walked to the guest room. Looking at his mother's slightly serious face, Qian Laili suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Mother."

This time, Qian Laili's title was extremely formal, because she knew that her mother would definitely be teaching her from the perspective of a 'former palace minister'.

Sure enough, after the girl lowered her head, Qianlai Haruko's eyes were steady and she slowly spoke.

"Xiao Li, I have heard what happened today. You should not directly conflict with the people who follow Tianling. Even though the Qianlai family has been operating in Qinglai Island for many years, it is precisely because of this that we need to be more careful.

, if you are not careful, you will lose everything."

Although her words didn't sound nice, everything she said made sense.

According to Haruko, this matter should be avoided first, and then slowly resolved in private.

Although this will show weakness to Tian Ling's pursuit and lead to the dispersion of power, at least there will be no conflict with the other party.

After all, under Narukami's rule, San Fengxing's power was almost supreme.

"But in this case..."

Although Qian Laili also understood this, she felt that she could not show weakness right from the beginning, as this would make her very passive in her subsequent interactions with Tian Ling.

And judging from today's results, she has the upper hand.

Seeing her daughter's unwilling expression, Haruko couldn't help but shake her head.

That's why this child doesn't understand.

"Xiao Li, even if you did give the other party a blow today, it has also worsened the relationship between the shrine and Tian Ling's practice. You know, the reason why we have to give in now is not because of Tian Ling's practice itself.

Instead, we are committed to following the Thunderbolt General behind us. This is something that is stated on the surface and will not be diverted by manpower."

Yes, the most important reason why Asara Shrine can have such power on Qinglai Island is that they once had the support of the God of Steel. But now with the departure of the God of Steel, although Asara Shrine still has

It has prestige, but the things that support it have disappeared.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although Asara Shrine has a great business, it is like a castle in the air without support.

It seems that the Heavenly Leader is coveting the power of Asara Shrine on Qinglai Island, but behind this is just an inevitable phenomenon caused by the alternation of power between the God of Thunder and the God of Steel.

Therefore, the decline of Asara Shrine is an unstoppable result. At this juncture, it has a head-on conflict with the Tianling Order, and the damage will be greater when it is forced to retreat later.

And this is the most fundamental reason why Haruko preaches to her daughter.

Qian Laili is not a stupid person. After some instructions from his mother, he quickly understood the reasons behind this.

"Then...what else can mother do?"

Although he has become a contemporary palace minister, Qian Laili's political skills are still far inferior to his mother's.

She kept her head calm, no longer as persistent as before, and quickly asked for a solution.

"Well, there is a way... There is a way. The eldest lady from Kujo's family was the breakthrough point in this incident. I think she has not yet got through with the Qinglai Island Shrine, otherwise she would not be able to show up during the day.

When I was there, you gave me a slap in the face."

Haruko rubbed the side of her face, thinking about how to save the shrine from the storm that spread throughout Inazuma.

"In this way, Miss Kujo is about the same age as you. You can invite her to drink tea at the Taisha Shrine tomorrow and get rid of yesterday's unhappiness as soon as possible."

After all, they are peers, so there is still room for negotiation.

Moreover, looking at Kujo Sora's behavior today, she is not as cunning as Takaji Shizuo, who had dealt with her for more than ten years on Qinglai Island.

If you exchange sincerity for sincerity, you might even get unexpected gains.

————

Inside the prison, Kujo Sora had just finished his conversation with Takashi Shisumu.

After what happened during the day, Takashi could only reveal his previous arrangements, which made Kujo Sora very angry.

This kind of person is really used to staying in the rear. He can't go into battle to kill the enemy. He can only play tricks and fight for power.

If Kujo Sora hadn't come with an order this time, she might have just beaten Takashi from beginning to end and turned into a big-headed soldier to go to the battlefield with her.

But the matter has come to this, everything that should have happened has happened. Fortunately, there have been no irreversible consequences, which can be considered a blessing among misfortunes.

After reprimanding this stupid subordinate, Jiu Jiao Suoluo was still angry and sent him away and directly called Bai Qiyun into the conference room.

Looking at Miss Tengu's tense face, Bai Qiyun secretly thought something was wrong.

Is this woman trying to vent her anger on him?

The clock hanging on the wall kept ticking, and the room was so quiet that Bai Qiyun could only hear the thumping of his own heartbeat.

Kujo Sora looked at the young man in front of him coldly. Even if Bai Qiyun lowered his head until he almost turned into an ostrich, it would not help.

"lift it up!"

The woman's voice startled Bai Qiyun, and he subconsciously followed the other person's order and raised his head.

In an instant, their eyes met, and those bright yellow eyes were staring directly at him, like a lioness hunting prey on the grassland.

But compared to this, Miss Tengu's face was almost in front of him now. Her fair and delicate face, her light but not rich red lips, and even the hot breath that the other party exhaled unintentionally seemed to blow on his. Side face.

It’s so close! And it smells so good.
