It was the same bridge adorned with lanterns, but unlike the one used for weddings, it was now decorated with red flowers, making it even more festive.

Narita Ujigatsu, along with Atsuhime and others, waited at the bridgehead. They saw Qin Mo bow first before rising to speak.

"Well... Father-in-law, you don't need to bow to me anymore. After all, you are my elder, and I am not worthy of your respect, no matter how high my status is!"

“You deserve it, Your Highness is too modest. You are first and foremost a prince of Great Xia, and only then a son-in-law of Narita. Narita was just bowing to the prince of Great Xia to avoid being criticized.”

Qin Mo sighed and helped Narita Shi to walk into the winery. He knew what Narita meant; civil officials were a group of people who were good at finding fault and were very troublesome when they came at him with sharp tongues.

There were some things that Narita insisted on. For example, the food and drinks served to his son-in-law were all authentic Japanese products, including bland sake, thinly sliced ​​sashimi, and mullet balls with a delightful shape, giving Qin Mo a taste of Japanese cuisine.

"Your Highness, Narita will be returning to Japan tomorrow. The situation in Japan is quite delicate. May I ask if Your Highness has any... advice?" After a few rounds of drinks, Narita Ujichō began to ask Qin Mo for advice.

Qin Mo looked at the respectful Narita Ujigahana, pondering the situation in Japan, and finally cautiously said, "Toyotomi Hideyoshi is a madman. If you don't want him to drag you down with him, you should restrain yourself."

"Also, be wary of Tokugawa Ieyasu. He may very well have ambitions to become the ruler of Japan. Don't let yourself be used without realizing it."

"Your Highness is right. Tokugawa Ieyasu has been suppressed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi over the years, and his reputation has plummeted. However, he has close ties with the swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, so Toyotomi Hideyoshi has never dared to make a move against him. His strength has not diminished at all over the years, and has even increased slightly."

"Oh? Miyamoto Musashi... is he that good?"

"Your Highness, Miyamoto Musashi is a martial arts prodigy from Japan. He later obtained the cultivation methods of the Great Xia Dynasty and is now a Xuan Realm expert. Japan is not like the Great Xia Dynasty. Apart from the Thunder God Clan on Mount Fuji... Xuan Realm... is already the strongest."

"Oh!...A martial arts prodigy from Japan?...Does he even deserve this title?"

Qin Mo turned to look at Kaihime, who was bowing her head and remaining silent. A twenty-year-old Xuanjing... that's truly a prodigy!

"Kai, what do you think?"

Kaihime looked up at Qin Mo, her eyes sparkling, and said, "When I was young, I also looked up at those high mountains, and now... I finally have the ability to climb them and look into the distance, so naturally I want to see what the scenery on the mountain is like."

Qin Mo laughed. Even though she was very obedient to her at home, Kaihime was still the same stubborn woman who never wavered.

"Heh! You can only go hiking when you're old enough to be allowed to, Allen... understand?"

"Kai understands, Your Highness, please rest assured."

Narita Ujinaga couldn't understand what the two were saying, so he looked at Kaihime with a questioning gaze.

“Father, Kai has already reached the Profound Realm. Perhaps soon... he will be able to challenge Lord Miyamoto.”

"Bang!"

Kaihime's younger sister, Atsuhime, who had been serving her, finally couldn't contain her excitement upon hearing Kaihime's words. The sake jug in her hand fell to the floor and shattered.
