Chapter 485: Everyone gradually takes action(1/2)
Just when the atmosphere in the venue was gradually turning awkward, a loud voice broke the silence that had lasted for a long time.
"Miss! I heard that the travelers are coming!"
A young man with blond hair pushed open the door and walked in with a smile on his face. It was Thomas.
Great, you came at the right time.
Bai Qiyun took two steps back towards Ying, letting Toma stand in the middle of the crowd and meet their eyes.
"Ah, maybe you don't know me yet, miss, but this talented gentleman is Bai Qiyun, Mr. Bai."
Toma pulled Bai Qiyun, who wanted to hide behind Ying for a while, and brought him to Kamisato Ayaka and introduced him.
Looking face to face with Kamisato Ayaka, Bai Qiyun felt hundreds of ants crawling all over his body.
"Ah...well, it is indeed 'well-groomed'."
Hearing this, a smile couldn't help but appear on Kamisato Ayaka's beautiful face.
Others didn't hear it, but Bai Qiyun heard the emphasis on words in the words of the person in front of him, and the meaning was self-evident.
But in order to prevent yesterday's incident from getting bigger, he had to stand up and accept the compliment from the eldest lady of the Kamisato family.
"My descendant, Bai Qiyun, is from Liyue. This is our first meeting. Please take care of me."
"Haha, of course, the visitor is a guest, and I will definitely take more care of you, so please don't worry."
It was like an encrypted phone call between the two. They exchanged a few words back and forth, like ordinary greetings, but they also seemed to say something.
The simple-minded Paimon and Thomas naturally didn't hear it, but Ying seemed to have noticed something. He looked at the boy next to him strangely, but didn't say much.
"Thomas, let's arrange lunch first. I think some of you haven't eaten yet. Let's eat first before talking about anything else."
The paper fan opened, hiding Ayaka Kamisato's face.
The corners of the mouth behind the paper fan were filled with a smile that was gradually becoming unbearable.
————
"Master, the young lady met with those travelers from Liyue."
In another quiet mansion, Kamisato Ayato sat on a chair and listened to the reports of his subordinates.
He picked up the tea cup on the side and took a sip gently.
The fragrance of tea was blown away by the breeze along the rim of the cup and filled the whole room.
"Well, I understand. If Ayaka and the others want to do something from now on, you don't have to worry about it. Just let them handle it themselves."
"yes."
Shang was as taciturn as ever.
After pushing his subordinate back, Ayato Kamisato stood up from his seat and looked at the sky in the distance in a daze.
He learned a lot of news from Hiiragi Shinsuke last night, some of which were exciting, and some of which seemed very whimsical to him.
But it has to be said that the other party's chips impressed him.
In a rare moment of unity, Inazuma and her three brothers want to do something big.
But if you want to implement the plan, the time has not yet come, and you need to wait a little longer.
However, with the cooperation of the other two major disciples, what he did before seems unnecessary. Kamisato Ayaka's behavior of privately confronting the Eye Hunter Order should have no follow-up here.
So no matter what his sister does in the future, he will not interfere, but he has no intention of stopping it.
After all, the water in this rice wife is muddier and better.
In Yoshinoya on the outlying island, Bai Qiyun and his party followed Toma's footsteps and came to this restaurant with a mixture of Inazuma and Liyue dishes.
Looking at the sign in front of him, Bai Qiyun shook his head.
Counting the time he came with Kamisato Ayaka yesterday, this is his third time here.
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or the eldest lady’s instruction. If it’s the latter, I hope the Egret Princess can be kind and stop tormenting him.
Several people walked into the room where there were not many customers, and invited the old man from last time to start ordering.
As the host, Thomas skillfully marked out a few of the restaurant's specialty dishes on the menu.
After all, before Ying came to Inazuma, he had already stayed on an outlying island for a while, and he still had some knowledge of this relatively famous restaurant.
"I just want these for now."
"Okay, gentlemen, please wait a moment."
Looking at the old man's somewhat stooped back, Bai Qiyun was really worried whether he could cook these dishes by himself.
Stare~
But compared to dishes, some things are more important now.
Opposite him, the eldest lady from the Kamisato family covered the lower half of her face with a fan, staring straight at his side face with a pair of wonderful eyes.
With that look, anyone could tell that something was wrong.
However, Thomas had a high emotional intelligence, so he didn't bother to ask. Only Paimon, who didn't understand the atmosphere, asked blankly.
"Ayaka, is there something on your cooking face?"
Should I say that she is indeed a girl? It’s just that when we met each other before, we were able to call each other by name. You know, calling each other by name is a very intimate behavior in Inazuma.
As expected of Paimon, he easily accomplished what others couldn't do.
"Oh...it's nothing, it's just that I feel like I met Mr. Bai there, but I can't remember clearly."
When speaking, Kamisato Ayaka deliberately changed her right hand to hold the fan. A blue crystal bracelet hung on her fair wrist, which was placed in front of Bai Qiyun's eyes, as if she was afraid that the other party wouldn't see it. Kamisato
Ayaka also waved her wrist deliberately.
Unlike Bai Qiyun who always wanted to hide it, she didn't mind others seeing through her disguise yesterday.
On the contrary, she was very interested in Bai Qiyun's appearance yesterday.
If she remembered correctly, Thomas had asked her for an extra invitation letter to the wedding of the two major sects before, which was probably used for this matter.
Oh, that's really interesting.
"Really? Could it be that the cook was seen wandering around the outlying islands before?"
"You're talking about wandering around. It's obviously you who wanders around a lot."
Bai Qiyun naturally didn't want to answer this question, but luckily he grabbed the white-haired Paimon beside him and started rubbing it.
The little Paimon was naturally unable to fight back in the young man's palm, and could only stare at the young man with her huge eyes.
It's so bad, I'm going to stare at him with my eyes.
But it's a pity that Bai Qiyun did this to avoid Kamisato Ayaka, and the little guy wouldn't stop no matter how hard he glared at him.
After a while, Ying finally took Paimon back from his hand.
Ying glanced at his companion angrily, as if Bai Qiyun had done something wrong.
Fortunately, the boss brought the dishes to the table at this time, and a few people started eating, which reduced the awkward atmosphere.
As for the food we eat, there is no difference from when Bai Qiyun came here. Mapo Tofu is still neither spicy nor spicy, only tofu is still tofu.
He could only treat it as a 'seafood grilled tofu'.
But Paimeng on the other side was eating happily, which was in sharp contrast to Ying who was still trying.
Ying's appearance naturally attracted the attention of Kamisato Ayaka. She put down the chopsticks in her hands and asked with concern.
"Ying, is the food not to your liking?"
Hearing this, Ying shook his head.
"No, I just have a bad appetite."
In fact, she just couldn't get used to the food here, but she didn't say it directly. After all, the treat was a good intention, so it would be too embarrassing for them not to come to Taiwan.
Speaking of which, Ying's eating habits are very strange. She can accept Liyue cuisine and Daozu cuisine, but she can't accept the mixing of Daozu and Liyue cuisine.
For some reason, this kind of food is unappetizing to her, and it is not as delicious as the staff meals at Tingyuge.
But don't worry about the leftovers. Paimon, who has a big mouth on one side like a messenger who cleans the altar, will take care of all the leftovers.
As Paimon's autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, the meal quickly came to an end.
Kamisato Ayaka gracefully wiped the slightly oily corners of her mouth with a tissue.
Seeing that, Bai Qiyun's eyelids twitched. He finally knew where Brother Ayato's mother-in-law movements came from yesterday. It should be due to the physical memory of the young lady's tutor.
But even so, when he recalled in his mind the posture of Ayato-san holding his arm last night, he was still shocked.
"Then, it's time to get down to business."
Compared to the coy Bai Qiyun, Kamisato Ayaka got rid of yesterday's influence earlier and said with a serious face.
"Thanks to Mr. Bai, our plan went smoothly, but now that the wedding of the two major sects has ended, the originally stagnant Tianling sect will be operational again, and the supervision order will definitely be stricter by then."
"But fortunately, our plan has almost reached the second step. The Rongcai Festival will be held in a few days, and the goods are basically ready. As long as we sell them at the festival, everything will be fine."
