Knocking on the door of Pupil Art in Yuanshen

Inazuma Castle.

This ancient city, worshiped under the power of the God of Thunder, has a history of hundreds of years.

The scenery in the city changes, people move around, one generation grows old and the next generation grows up.

After Kamisato Ayaka and Toma escorted him to Inazuma Castle, they were in no hurry to leave.

Instead, he patiently began to explain the cultural scenery and cultural customs of Inazuma Castle.

"Miss Kamisato!"

"Isn't this Miss Kamisato?"

"Miss Kamisato, are you going out with your friends?"

…………

Ayaka Kamisato is surprisingly popular, and people greet her in a friendly way wherever she goes.

She didn't put on the airs of a young lady and responded gently.

"Young lady is the heartthrob of Inazuma City!" Toma saw Shang Zhaoyue's confusion and said with a smile.

"Uh, I can feel it a little bit." Uesugi Akiyuki was dumbfounded.

When I entered Hanamizaka, a girl with chestnut hair ran over the road.

She looked excited, with a bright smile on her face.

It feels like no matter how depressed a person is, his mood will become better when he sees her.

She also has a pair of big, flashing golden eyes, which makes Uesugi Akiyuki feel very beautiful.

But what he paid most attention to was her name for Kamisato Ayaka.

"Ling Hua, long time no see!" She stopped in front of Kamisato Ayaka and began to blink.

As if there was a long-standing tacit understanding, Kamisato Ayaka stepped forward, opened her arms and gave her a hug.

"I miss you so much!" the girl said ecstatically.

"Me too..." Akiyuki Uesugi felt that Ayaka Kamisato was helpless.

It's like a cold-tempered person who doesn't know how to resist the enthusiasm of his friends.

It’s hard to say no, but it feels uncomfortable to cater to someone.

Just when Tachibana was gaining momentum, Toma jumped out appropriately.

"Ahem, miss..." He put his hand into a fist and coughed slightly, reminding her that this was the street.

The two realized it later and separated immediately.

The cheerful girl was still smiling, while Kamisato Ayaka's face turned slightly red.

"Who is this? A strange face I have never seen before." After being separated from Kamisato Ayaka, the girl recalled her reserve.

At this time, she noticed the presence of Uesugi Akiyuki next to Kamisato Ayaka.

She confirmed that there were almost no people in Inazuma City whom she had not met before, and they might not necessarily know each other.

But she clearly had no impression of Uesugi Akiyuki at all.

"Azuki Uesugi is my friend. This is his first time coming to Inazuma Castle." Kamisato Ayaka understood her confusion and explained.

"She's Ling Hua's friend, so she's also my friend," she put her hand on the bandaged slime.

"My name is Yonomiya, and I am the owner of Naganohara Fireworks Shop. If you want to order fireworks, you are welcome to come to me. The first time is free~"

Akiyuki Uesugi withdrew her gaze that was inevitably directed at the slime, and looked at the place where she ran out.

Under the eaves of that house, there were indeed piles of fireworks sticks for display.

The colorful packaging looks gorgeous.

"If there is a chance, I will." Uesugi Akiyuki did not refuse. Even if it is not needed now, it will inevitably be needed from time to time.

He really didn't expect to have the opportunity to see fireworks in Teyvat, especially the rice wife who was locked up in the country.

"The Naganohara Fireworks Shop is a truly time-honored brand in Inazuma Castle." Kamisato Ayaka introduced this fireworks shop.

“The Naganohara family has been running this shop for generations, so it can be said to be well-known.

There is also the "Naganohara Fireworks Festival" hosted by them.

Thousands of gorgeous fireworks bloom in the sky, the scene is quite spectacular, if you have time, you might as well come and see it."

Listening to her praise, Uesugi Aki nodded, thoughtfully.

After bidding farewell to the enthusiastic Xiao Palace, they arrived at an ancient high-end club called Mulao Teahouse.

If you want to use a metaphor vividly, it is the kind of place that does not care about money and must be introduced by an old member before you can enter.

"The Mudaku Tea House is a property of the Kamisato family. It only accepts members of the community or people who are invited." Toma explained to him.

Akiyue Uesugi understands that he has not forgotten that the Uesugi family is a big family second only to the Kamisato family in social ethics.

Kamisato Ayaka took him into the room behind the counter.

This seems to be the kind of compartment that is not open to the public and is usually used by the owner's family.

"Uncle Uesugi will come to see you tomorrow, and I will arrange for you to stay here today."

Kamisato Ayaka elegantly made a pot of tea and poured the steaming tea into the cup in front of him.

The scent of tea drifts into the tip of your nose, giving you a refreshing feeling.

It has to be said that Kamisato Ayaka's kindness to him is really visible to the naked eye, but he knows that this kind of kindness does not come out of thin air.

So, he asked the question that had been bothering him.

"Why did he suddenly call me here?"

"..." Kamisato Ayaka suddenly looked embarrassed, and she subconsciously looked at Toma.

But Thomas obviously couldn't help it, and she sighed helplessly.

"You will know about this sooner or later, so I won't hide it," Kamisato Ayaka put down the tea cup, her quiet tone unconsciously making people feel solemn.

"Uncle Uesugi is here to ask you to become the next head of the Uesugi family."

Hearing this good news from heaven, Uesugi Akiyuki didn't have any joy on his face.

He knew that the Uesugi family was so big that it was impossible for him, a shady illegitimate son, to suddenly inherit it.

Kamisato Ayaka must be hiding a bigger secret.

He looked at Kamisato Ayaka coldly without saying a word.

"I just said he is not easy to fool," after looking at each other for a while, Kamisato Ayaka suddenly felt a little discouraged.

She showed an expression like a little girl showing a temper, "Thomas, you explain."

"...Me?" Seeing his young lady kicking the ball over, Toma scratched his head and felt it was difficult to handle.

"Okay then..." Thomas was helpless.

"We won't hide it from you until now," Thomas paused, and Uesugi Akiyuki was naturally attracted to him.

He then uttered powerful words, "You are the only direct descendant of the Uesugi family left."

"What about him?" Akiyue Uesugi asked Uesugi, and he no longer concealed his dissatisfaction with Uesugi on his face.

"The head of the Uesugi family and the eldest son of the Uesugi family died on the battlefield together." After Toma finished speaking, he fell silent.

Directly announcing the misery of others made his cheerful heart feel guilty.

In particular, the young man in the shirt is also a self-reliant character, and he will not expose his fragile side to outsiders who have not interacted closely with him.

Therefore, he would probably close himself off, Thomas made this judgment.

As expected, Shangshan Zhaoyue was silent for a while, and then said softly.

"Please two go out first, I want to be quiet."

Hearing this, Kamisato Ayaka and Toma looked at each other, then quietly stood up and left.

Although the Uesugi family is a vassal, they actually directly issued an expulsion order to the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family.

This is certainly disrespectful.

But everyone knows that what Uesugi Akiyuki needs most now is to be alone.

Kamisato Ayaka and Toma wanted to help him, so naturally they had no intention of disturbing him.

After the two left, there was only silent silence surrounding Uesugi Akiyuki.

The noisy wind outside the window also slowed down his movements, as if he was afraid of disturbing it.

"Before I had time to take revenge, my family was destroyed." He murmured to himself, and the lingering sound lingered in his ears for a long time.

He has no feelings for Shang Shanyue, but the longing left by his predecessor is still affecting him.

This forced him to pay attention to the sudden bad news, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for himself as he felt in his heart.

He understood that in order to eliminate the remnants of this body, he had to dissolve his obsession.

What was the obsession of the predecessor?

If it was the recognition of Shangshan Yue before, now I am afraid it is to revitalize the Shangshan family.

Now that Kamisato Ayaka and Toma have retreated, it happens to be a quiet moment for him to be alone.

It's time to gain strength, Shangshan Zhaoyue secretly made up her mind.

Let's just say that on this journey, if he hadn't been escorted by someone, the wild people on the road wouldn't have let him go by himself.

When he heard the news of the sudden death, he was helpless. He couldn't even understand the specific situation, let alone take revenge.

It can be seen that weakness is really the original sin.

It invisibly wraps up people who are immersed in comfort, and then kills them silently.

He is determined to become stronger and cannot choose randomly this time.

After strengthening his heart, he began to relax his mind.

The surrounding space suddenly began to darken, and darkness came like a tide.

The tea table in front of him has disappeared, replaced by a tall bronze door.

He silently stretched out his hand to push it open, and the thick door sank obediently into a gap.

Then it opened with a "clang" sound, sucked him in with lightning speed, and then closed again with a dull sound.

The darkness faded away, disappearing with the door without a trace.

At this moment, the world seems to have pressed the pause button.

But if you look carefully, you can see that time is still flowing, but very slowly, as if it has been slowed down hundreds of times.
