"Come out!"
"Ms. Hanabi seems to be in a good mood?"
"Four whole hours, it's really enough to chat..."
"You're still in the mood to chat... that's good."
The guards who were responsible for monitoring Hinata and protecting Hanabi finally saw Hanabi and Hinata Arata come out after four hours, and Hinata also saw them to the door.
Before leaving, Hinata also comforted Hanabi to "relax a little."
The children of the branch families who were assigned to monitor and protect the two young ladies were all selected by Hinata Hiashi. In addition to their strength, the degree of "obedience" is also very important.
Although 99% of the branch families will not refuse if the "bird in the cage" can be removed, and their attitude towards the main family will inevitably rebound, but when the "bird in the cage" is still there, the probability of rebellion is negligible, but there are still differences in the degree of obedience.
For example, there are many people like Neji who cannot resist, but they are holding back in their hearts, but others will not show it as obviously as Neji. Similarly, some have become accustomed to thinking for the main family when the "bird in the cage" is not destroyed.
After all, it has been less than sixty years since the Ninja World entered the Ninja Village Era. In the Warring States Period before that, the "family" was the main body of the ninja's loyalty. In addition, Hinata and Hanabi's personalities were not the type that would annoy people. Instead, they could inspire a desire to protect them. Therefore, these guards were also happy to see the two young ladies happy.
However... a certain Hinata Arata who returned to the family not long ago
was a bit of an eyesore! The guards all muttered, "The two young ladies are chatting, why are you interfering? Can't you be a little more discerning!"
However, just as they were considering whether to secretly remind this kid, Hanabi suddenly grabbed the corner of "Hinata Arata's" clothes &
"Hey, tomorrow... can you come with me again?" Hanabi asked a little embarrassedly, with a wandering look in her eyes.
"Well? If you come again tomorrow, you can have a private chat with Miss Hinata..." Guan Liyuan seemed a little hesitant. After all, I lurked in, and there must be other things! I'm not here to attack you specifically. If I come to accompany you every day, people will misunderstand me!
The guards in the dark: You have a little idea in your mind.
However, after biting her lip, Hanabi looked at her toes and said, "But... if I do it alone... it will be awkward! Many times today, you changed the subject, so we didn't feel so awkward, right?"
Yes, Guan Liyuan did act as a lubricant between the two sisters before (Guan Liyuan:?).
After all, at this point in time, there are too many "minefields" that can be touched when the two sisters chat, and both of them are the kind of people who will be "exploded" and freeze their brains once they enter the "minefield" and don't know what to say...
Every time this happens, Guan Liyuan has to save the situation!
"This..." Guan Liyuan also wants to try tomorrow to see if he can get close to Hinata Hiashi.
After all, Hanabi and Hinata are just not "caged birds" and do not have the control ability of the "main family".
According to the current situation of the Federation, the control of the "bird in the cage" by the main family requires not only special secret techniques, but also a "curse seal" to open the authority. Orochimaru called it "cage lifter", which means the person who holds the bird cage. Currently, only Hyuga Hiashi has this authority.
After five days, if everything goes well, Hanabi will also have this "cage lifter" curse seal, but it will not be activated. Only when Hyuga Hiashi officially removes the position of the head of the family and closes his "cage lifter" curse seal, or when Hyuga Hiashi dies, Hanabi's "cage lifter" will be activated. This is also to avoid the situation
that when the head of the family conflicts with the heir of the head of the family, the branch family will "die no matter which side they stand on"...
At the same time, there will only be one person in the main family who can activate the "cage lifter" function.
"Please!" After seeing Hyuga Arata hesitate, Hanabi gritted her teeth and bowed to Hyuga Arata at a 90-degree angle.
Hanabi obviously also understood that in the entire Hyuga family, the only person who could be a "lubricant" was the one in front of her!
Everyone else is in the "cage", and they might be embarrassed together. As for Hyuga Hiashi... it will only make the scene more miserable.
Invite Hinata's friends outside the family to visit?
Sorry, the Hyuga family has been under complete martial law before the family festival, and it is impossible to allow outsiders to "visit" Hinata at this time.
Only Hyuga Arata... although he is also controlled by the "bird in the cage", his mentality is very "weird", as if he is not aware of this at all.
"This bastard! He actually wants the eldest lady to beg him?"
"Hurry up and agree? Do you want to die?"
"You are still putting on airs... Don't stop me!"
The guards in the dark muttered again.
Guan Liyuan was also helpless. It was you who didn't want me to accompany Hanabi before, and now it's you who don't want me to refuse. It's true that these guards' whispers, which they thought would not be discovered, could not be hidden from Guan Liyuan at all.
"Okay, then tomorrow at this time." Guan Liyuan had to agree first.
After all, he is a child of a branch family, and it would be too abnormal to say all kinds of things that don't give face to Hanabi.
Moreover... Guan Liyuan wanted to help Hanabi and Hinata from the bottom of his heart. If Guan Liyuan had not planned to destroy the "bird in the cage", this period of time would have determined the future of Hanabi and Hinata. Is the future already determined
?
Of course not!
Although without Guan Liyuan, Hinata and Hanabi's identities as the main family and branch family have been determined, at least if they can communicate well now, they can avoid a major change in the mentality of Hanabi and Hinata in the future...
If Hanabi is allowed to not contact Hinata actively because of embarrassment, the relationship between the two sisters will go downhill, and after the "baptism" of this incident, Hanabi will most likely become a truly cold-blooded and ruthless "qualified head of the family". This may also be what Hyuga Hiashi and the elders want to see.
"Inability to understand each other" will only increase misunderstandings and conflicts, which the Six Paths Sage understood thousands of years ago.
Under the "murderous aura" of the guards, after making a pinky promise with Hanabi, Guan Liyuan first went to see Karin in "preparation for pregnancy maintenance".
Although it is a bit early for Hinata Arata to get married at her age, her family would not approve it, but because of the special circumstances, their relationship has been recognized, and no one would doubt her visit. In addition,
Hinata Arata is not an important person, and now they are in the Hyuga clan's territory, and no one is specifically monitoring them. They can simply use the Samsara Eye to release a small illusion, and they don't have to worry about being discovered.
As expected, after Guan Liyuan used illusion to cover the two of them, Karin immediately started to complain bitterly, and even went into a manic state...
Firstly, there were all kinds of things she couldn't do or eat during the "preparation and maintenance for pregnancy" period, and secondly... she had to learn all kinds of etiquette during this period. Seeing Karin wearing a kimono now, Guan Liyuan felt a little uncomfortable with Karin, who could look like a little girl even in a kimono.
Especially when Karin knew what Guan Liyuan had done all day, she became even more irritable,
"What? You mean that in order to let you get into the Hyuga clan, while I was being treated inhumanely all day, you used this precious time to flirt with the sisters?" Karin roared.
See, Guan Liyuan said that this would easily lead to misunderstandings...
