Chapter 6 - The Checks and Balances of Kujo Takayuki

In the end, Ning You left the shop with a humiliated expression. The clothes that Sara bought would be delivered by Ryoko.

So Sara decided to go and buy some more things for Ning You.

After all, they would be living together, and all sorts of things needed to be arranged. Secondly, there was the matter of Kujo Takayuki.

Saro wasn't actually very confident, but she would do her best to protect Ning You.

After taking care of the clothes and daily necessities, Sara thought for a moment and bought some snacks for Ningyou.

"Xiao You, we're going to see… your sister's father later, so you have to be good, and he'll like you." Sara instructed.

"Hmm!" Ning You nodded gently, but in her heart she didn't take the father that Sha Luo mentioned seriously.

As the leader of the Heavenly Order, he colluded with the Fools during the period of national isolation.

The reason was that they believed the invincible Thunder General was there, and the Fools wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

Then he was arrested and imprisoned.

As they walked, Sara kept reminding Ningyou of things to be careful about. Although she was taking Ningyou to meet Kujo Takayuki, she herself was much more nervous than Ningyou.

Ning You watched as ShaLuo's hands fidgeted restlessly, then gently took her left hand and placed it on her face.

"It's alright, Sister Sara. Even if that Lord Kujo Takayuki doesn't approve of me, as long as you think I'm your brother, that's enough." Ning You said with a reassuring smile, which made Sara pause for a moment.

She then gently hugged Ning You in her arms. Even if it meant going against her father's wishes, she was determined to let Ning You stay in her home this time.

Ning You had already gotten used to the softness and aroma of the milk foam, so she changed into a more comfortable position to continue resting.

"It's so comfortable to hold Xiaoyou, so gentle, soft, and fragrant, hehehe… If Xiaoyou lived in my house, could I hold her all the time?" Shaluo's anxious mood was relieved because of Ningyou, and the milk foam rubbed against Ningyou's cheek just right, making her feel very satisfied.

"Kujou Sara has inappropriate thoughts about the protagonist, Charm Points +820"

Looking at the more than 7,000 charm points contributed by Shaluo, Ning You suddenly felt that 10,000 was nothing special. Ordinary people give too little, so why not just find a user of the Eye of God?

After all, there are quite a few users of the Eye of God in Inazuma, such as Sara in front of us, as well as Ayaka Kamisato, Yoomiya, Shinobu Hisaki, and so on.

As for the male, Ning You really wanted to grow up, but he really didn't want to fencing. That's ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous!

Upon arriving at the Kujo family's residence, the stationed guards immediately bowed to Sara.

Although Sara was only an adopted daughter, her talent and martial prowess far surpassed those of the two young masters.

This has become a consensus in the Kujo family. The only pity is that Sara was adopted and was female.

Unless Kujo Takayuki's entire lineage dies out, there's no way it will be Sara's turn to take over.

"Mm." Sara nodded gently in response, then reluctantly put Ning You down and led him into the interior of the Kujo family home.

Along the way, many servants treated Saro with utmost respect, not only because they admired her abilities, but also because Saro was one of the few servants who respected them.

At the same time, the servants were very curious about Ning You, who was standing next to Sha Luo.

After all, in their minds, Lord Kujo Sara was easy to talk to, but he seemed stern and unsmiling, so he was not very popular with children.

At this moment, Kujo Takayuki was leisurely brewing tea in the tea room, wearing a loose kimono. Upon learning that Sara had come to visit, his expression gradually became serious.

When he learned that a little girl possessed the Eye of God, he realized that she was a talent that could be cultivated.

If she were to become a member of the Kujo family, she would be an incomparably sharp sword.

So he named the little girl Kujo Sara and made her his adopted daughter.

He taught her to be loyal to General Thunder and his family, and sent her to the army for training.

And Sara did not disappoint him, becoming a general through his own efforts.

Moreover, they steadfastly uphold their beliefs of loyalty to the gods and their family.

And this Sara, whom he entrusted with protecting the family and who was expected to become the sharpest weapon of the Kujo family, actually came to him with a request.

This surprised Kujo Takayuki quite a bit, as Sara was a very stubborn person.

Even promotions within the military are earned through hard-won achievements.

After becoming Kujo Sara, she has only asked her family for help a handful of times, so for her to do this, it must be something very important.

After some thought, Kujo Takayuki ordered someone to bring Sara in, wanting to see what important matter Sara had to discuss with him.

"Father." Sara greeted Kujo Takayuki respectfully, and had Ningyou stand beside her to attract Kujo Takayuki's attention.

"Sara? Is something the matter?" Kujo Takayuki glanced at Ningyou, then picked up his teacup and blew on it gently, appearing indifferent to everything.

"I… recently encountered a child who is suspected of being brought to Inazuma by transnational human traffickers, so I would like to ask my father for instructions…" Sara did not immediately state his intentions, but instead brought up official business.

"Oh, is that so? Well… by the way, Sara, you're still resting? I'll arrange for someone to handle it later." Kujo Takayuki saw through Sara's ulterior motives at a glance.

Following up on the conversation, she wanted to know what her obedient adopted daughter could possibly want? Was it because of that child?

"This little brother was kidnapped from Liyue. I'm worried he has nowhere to live, and he has exceptional talent, so I want to adopt him as my sworn brother." Seeing that Kujo Takayuki seemed to be telling her to leave, Sara quickly revealed her true purpose.

"Exceptional talent?" Kujo Takayuki looked Ning You up and down with surprise. He was already over fifty years old, and although he was still quite healthy, he was nearing retirement age.

Once Masahito and Kamaji have fully taken control of the family business, he will hand over the Tenryo Magistrate and the Kujo family to his two sons.

Perhaps because his two sons were both disappointing and had not yet given him a grandson, he couldn't help but feel a sense of fondness for the beautiful and well-behaved Ning You.

"Gained the favor of Kujo Takayuki, Charm Points +58"

Upon hearing the system's notification, Ning You initially complained that Kujo Takako had given her too few charm points.

Knowing that he had secured his position, he bowed slightly as Sara had instructed, and then said in a soft, boyish voice, "Greetings, Lord Kujo."

That single call of "Lord Kujo" melted Kujo Takayuki's heart.

His sons are all very hardworking, but because they are too hardworking, none of them have gotten married or had children.

Seeing Ning You now, he couldn't help but imagine what his beloved grandson would be like.

However, despite his fondness for it, Kujo Takayuki had to consider the issue of sara.

After all, there's a lot that can be done when someone suddenly adopts a child.

"Father, Xiao You is very intelligent and a good archer. If she is properly trained, she will surely become a great general in the future," Sha Luo quickly suggested.

"Sara?" Kujo Takayuki was quite surprised to see that Sara was unusually interested in children.

But then I thought, he's just a child, and recently Sara's fame has been gradually rising, even showing a tendency to overshadow Kujo Masahito.

If he agrees to let Salo adopt the child, he will then guide and raise him.

Saro will definitely be more grateful to me in the future. Even if she is dissatisfied, I can keep Ning You in check.

Soon, Kujo Takayuki thought of the benefits of adopting Ningyou. For someone who had been in the officialdom for decades, what he cared about most was not the country of Inazuma, but the interests of his own family.

Since it doesn't affect the family's interests and can win people's hearts, why not do it?
