[Genshin Impact] A world where only travelers are alone

Kamisato Ayaka's worries were not groundless. Although He Que did not hate the Kamisato family as she had guessed, there was indeed a rift between them.

Even though the Shogun later sent Okuji to the Kujo family to announce the whole story and took him away in the eyes of Kujo Takayuki's disbelief, she still couldn't figure out why Kamisato Ayato didn't want to see her.

She lowered her head respectfully and watched Aojie and his men leave, but her eyes were somewhat empty.

Since the accusation against Kujo Takayuki was true, there was no possibility that Kamisato Ayato was afraid to see him because she felt guilty. The only reason that could temporarily deceive herself also disappeared.

He Que couldn't help but think that Kamisato Ayato really didn't have any feelings for her, otherwise she wouldn't have avoided her after finding out that the Kujo family was about to lose power.

Her loneliness was so obvious that Kujo Kamajima, who didn't know the reason, thought she was sad about her father's matter, and could not help but pat her shoulder to comfort her.

Heque forced a smile at him.

The education in the Kujo family is very strange. Each course is designed according to the positioning of them by Kujo Takayuki. For example, the eldest brother Kujo Masahito and the elder sister Kujo Sara learned how to march, the second brother Kujo Kamajima learned how to participate in politics, and Kujo Sumire learned how to become a qualified mistress of the house.

However, despite the different teachings they received, they all had one thing in common, which was the worship of the Shogun, because Kujo Takayuki himself was such a fanatical believer in the Raiden Shogun.

This is also the reason why Kujo Sara is so loyal to General Raiden. Although He Que is not as exaggerated as her, she also has great respect for the general.

No one questioned the general's order, and no one cared about what kind of punishment Kujo Takayuki would be sentenced to. At most, everyone sighed a few words, and the next moment they continued to worry about the Kujo family, which was in danger because of Kujo Takayuki's imprisonment.

But in the final analysis, it was only Kujo Kamajitsu who was busy in two shifts and had almost no time to sleep. After all, Kujo Masahiro and Kujo Sara were not experts in this field.

He Que had no idea about this. Looking at his second brother going out early and coming back late, he inevitably thought of Kamisato Ayato who was like this in the past. The next second he quickly shook his head to get rid of the thought.

Such a somewhat neurotic behavior naturally attracted Kujo Sara's attention.

After returning from Kamisato's house that day, Heque has been looking listless. She never asked Heque whether she got the answer, but she could vaguely guess that she probably got nothing.

Kujo Sara thought for a moment and suggested, "It may take some time for the general to decide on the Kujo family. Since we can't see anything by just watching here, why not help Kamajiro reduce his burden in other ways?"

"What?" He Que asked subconsciously before he came back to his senses.

"What I mean is, maybe we should go meet our father and ask him what he did. After knowing this, we will have an idea of ​​the possible punishment, and Kamajiro will also know how to save the situation."

What she said made sense, and Kazuque couldn't think of any reason to refuse, although she was somewhat reluctant to communicate with Kujo Takayuki.

Based on her limited understanding of her father, that guy couldn't say anything good, so whether they could get an answer was another matter.

The two men submitted a visiting card to the general and were taken to the prison by Aojiezhong.

Kujo Takayuki seemed to have been tortured and was not in a very good condition, but he was in good spirits. At least when he saw them, he could rush over excitedly and ask them to go and appeal to the general.

Kujo Sara looked at him coldly: "To this day, father, do you still feel that you have been wronged?"

Kujo Takayuki was choked by her, and the words he wanted to say were immediately stuck in his throat, feeling extremely embarrassed. However, he knew he was in the wrong, and faced with the powerful Kujo Sara, he did not dare to refute at all.

He glanced around, and finally cast his sights on the child behind Kujo Sara who was the most vulnerable to bullying. Facing Wakatsuki, Kujo Takayuki's tone became much tougher: "Wakatsuki, tell me if I did anything wrong? Isn't everything I did for our Kujo family? The shrine magistrate is in charge of sacrifices, and his status in Inazuma has always been extraordinary; the Kanjo magistrate is in charge of trade, and there is no need to say much about the benefits; only our Tenryo magistrate is gradually declining in such an era. I just want to use the Fatui to let the Kujo family return to its peak, what's wrong with that!"

"It doesn't matter if the Fatui have other intentions. In the land of Inazuma, once the thunderbolt falls, they are just trembling ants and will never dare to act rashly. After all, we have the unparalleled Thunder General and the "Thinkless Sword"!"

Even though he had heard him say the same thing during the confrontation, Kujo Sara still found it incredible and was shaking with anger: "No matter how father argues, at least in the eyes of the general, this is outright betrayal! Father, don't even think about seeking redress!"

She turned away, not wanting to look at this stubborn guy again.

He Que was one step behind her and was about to leave when Kujo Takayuki quickly reached out a hand from the iron railing and grabbed her ankle.

He was rarely in such an embarrassing state, and he looked extremely ugly as he lay on the ground. However, he still put on a condescending attitude towards Shang Heque.

"He Que, you have a way. Go and beg your fiancé. No matter if you cry and act pitiful or threaten to commit suicide, you must ask the Kamisato family to protect me!"

Although the tone was weak, it could not conceal the commanding tone in it.

He Que lowered her eyes to look at him. In the dimly lit prison, Kujo Takayuki could not see the expression on her face, so he thought to himself that this innocent child who was the easiest to control should be frightened and anxious at the moment.

Kujo Takayuki continued to put his other chips on the line, trying to convince her: "Do you think Kamisato Ayato will still be willing to marry you without the Kujo family? Aristocratic families share the same fate, and the Kamisato family will not be willing to have a daughter of a sinner without any family background as their mistress. Watsuki, Kamajiro can't support the Kujo family. Without me, you are nothing--"

What responded to him was Heque's hurried footsteps.

She ran away, kicking his hand away and running away before Kujo Takayuki could finish his words.

Kujo Sara didn't know what happened next. Seeing that she was a little slow to come out, he thought she was soft-hearted and couldn't help but remind her, "He Que, don't trust your father's words. He is just a selfish guy. He talks about morality and righteousness, but in fact, it's just for himself."

He Que couldn't help but grab the corner of Kujo Sara's clothes and murmured, "Sister Sara, can the Kujo family really survive this crisis?"

Kujo Sara didn't want to say anything that he wasn't sure about, so he could only touch her head and comfort her, "Don't think too much."

"But--"

"Trust Kamaji and Kazuque, there will always be a way. Besides, the general will definitely give a fair judgment."

What else can I say to Que?

She couldn't say anything.

But the next day, when no one knew, Kazuque quietly slipped out through the back door alone, and his destination was still Kamisato House.
