Chapter 883: Chapter 558: The Plight of Beastmen, Heading to Tokyo (3)
At this moment, the reason why this Six-Star in front of him admires the Great Xia from the bottom of his heart, and even worships them, finally surfaces in his perception.
Because in the eyes of this newly ascended True Master of Fusang, Great Xia is such a great and powerful nation that he yearns for to the extreme.
In his eyes, if it were in Great Xia, such things would not happen.
So what Chelina previously said about "admiration for power" was not a bit wrong; it was the underlying logic buried within this person’s True Intent.
Great Xia is strong because it is correct, and correct because it is strong.
He longs for, envies, and pursues this strength.
But he also admits that he and the entire leadership of Fusang are not strong enough, so he can make sacrifices without feeling ashamed.
However, it’s precisely because of this openness that it makes it even more ineffable.
But...
At this moment, Su Yue, who had been silent from the start, finally furrowed his brows uncontrollably.
He seemed to want to refute something, but ultimately did not speak.
...
That night.
Tenshukaku.
The "Cloud Pavilion".
The Arasaka Group once again set the most extravagant banquet.
Unlike yesterday, today’s performers were presenting a sword dance full of power and beauty, and the "Rainbow Butterfly" was replaced with the "Divine Skylark" that could play ethereal tunes.
For two consecutive days, they were treated with such high-level reception without repetition.
However, the atmosphere ultimately was different from yesterday, seemingly becoming more silent.
Remyu’s smile seemed a little less today.
After three rounds of drinks and five flavors of dishes.
Lin Guang put down the jade chopsticks in his hand, looked at the attentive young True Master in front of him, and once again asked that question.
"Mr. Koichi, I wonder when we can meet with Arasaka’s seniors?"
"And since Mr. Heikawa still hasn’t replied, could you urge him for us?"
Arasaka Koichi sighed, his face full of difficulty and headache.
"Lord Lin Guang, I truly apologize."
He stood up, bowed deeply to Lin Guang once again: "Both my sworn brothers and several uncles are busy with national affairs, and recently they have been under the dual pressure of beast tides and the Outer Battlefield, making it really hard to spare time to personally entertain the esteemed guests."
"I’m afraid... it’s very difficult to find time to meet you personally."
He gave a bitter smile: "Moreover, Lord Heikawa... we really haven’t been able to contact him recently. He is the only Seven-Star Peak in Fusang, and many places where he is fully at ease are just insurmountable barriers for us."
But his face was once again filled with enthusiasm, as if the unpleasantness of the day hadn’t occurred.
"However, we have already prepared a better itinerary for the honorable guests."
"Tomorrow, I shall take you to visit our national treasure—Kinkaku-ji Temple!"
The temple built entirely of pure gold, when illuminated by sunlight, could be described as one of the most beautiful sights in Fusang! Surely, you will all like it!"
——Perhaps in his view, he indeed has chosen the honesty that wouldn’t disgust Lin Guang and others the most, and thus hasn’t done anything wrong.
And upon hearing this, the girls behind Lin Guang all showed a somewhat subtle expression on their faces.
Though Fusang is a foreign land, its culture is ultimately greatly influenced by the Great Xia.
These landmarks, although initially intriguing, after a whole day of such sights, they feel no different.
Yet at this moment, Remyu tilted her head and suddenly spoke in fluent Fusang language.
"Uncle Koichi, you’ve worked hard these past two days."
At this moment, Vishdair widened his eyes, and even Chelina’s eyes showed a look of surprise.
Because...
At this moment, Remyu exuded an air of solemnity and nobility.
This was something completely unrelated to her usual playful demeanor, yet it appeared so naturally on her now.
"I want to go home and visit Uncle Masamune."
"Even though he’s retired, he should be quite busy recently, right? Is he still busy?"
At these words, Arasaka Koichi’s eyes widened slightly.
——Go home?
——Visit Arasaka Masamune?
——The one who, although retired, was the original founder of the Arasaka Group, Heikawa’s best brother, his foster father?
It should be noted that Remyu’s home, that is, the mansion she once shared with "Heikawa" is in Tokyo.
In other words, does she want to go to Tokyo?
But the next moment, he quickly returned to that impeccable humility.
"...I understand."
He bowed deeply once again: "Then, esteemed guests, I shall immediately make arrangements for the transfer."
After saying this, he quietly retreated with the maids and performers.
Watching his departing figure, the playfully delicate face of Remyu finally revealed a weary expression unbefitting her age.
She turned her head, looked at the group with equally little interest, and suddenly smiled.
"Sorry everyone, I know these itineraries are quite dull."
"Don’t worry about those."
She folded her hands behind her back, winked at everyone, and smiled: "Come, let’s go have fun at my place!"
