Hinata's face was already red to the roots of her ears.
" Hanabi!"
"What's wrong?"
Hanabi looked puzzled.
"Didn't you just say that?"
Hizashi Hyuga paused for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter.
"Good!"
That's for the best!
"Let Hinata marry him first."
"Let's wait until Hanabi grows up, then we'll get married together."
Hyuga Hiashi nodded with a smile.
" Hizashi is correct."
Zhang Yu looked at the two of them.
The system notification sounded at that very moment.
[bite!]
The relationship between the Hyuga brothers, Hyuga Hiashi and Hizashi Hyuga, has further improved.
[Congratulations, host, you have received 50,000 gold coins.]
[Current Gold Coin Balance: 500,000.]
Zhang Yu's smile widened as he looked at the system notification.
really.
You can also earn rewards for deepening your CP (couple) relationship.
As long as you keep improving your relationship with the two people, you can continue to earn gold coins.
It seems I need to create more opportunities for them to spend time together in the future.
Hizashi Hyuga drank more and more.
Not long after, he slumped over the table, still muttering about Hinata and Hanabi's marriage.
Hyuga Hiashi had also drunk quite a bit, but he remained sober.
He looked at Zhang Yu.
" Boss Zhang Yu, Hizashi is drunk."
"I'll take him home."
"Good."
Hyuga Hiashi stood up and helped his younger brother.
Hizashi Hyuga, however, was unwilling to leave.
"Big brother, I can still drink."
You've had too much to drink.
"No."
Hizashi Hyuga gripped the edge of the table.
"I can drink ten more glasses."
Neji also came to help.
"Father, go back and rest first."
Neji, you'll drink with me.
I'll accompany you again next time.
"It's settled then."
Hizashi Hyuga then released his grip.
Hyuga Hiashi and Neji helped him out of the main hall.
Hanabi watched them leave, then lowered her head and began eating her snacks again.
Hinata poured Zhang Yu a cup of tea.
" Boss Zhang Yu, you've drunk so much, are you alright?"
"Fine."
But they were all drunk.
"Different alcohol tolerances."
Zhang Yu picked up his teacup and took a sip.
"Besides, I have things to do."
"What is it?"
"Send Summer Festival invitations to Konoha."
Zhang Yu put down his teacup.
"We can't let drinking waste time."
After the Hyuga Hiashi brothers left, Zhang Yu and Hinata sat for a while longer.
After finishing her snacks, Hanabi hugged the empty plate and leaned against Hinata.
"Elder sister."
"Um?"
When is Master going to the tavern?
"Wait until he finishes his work."
"Then I want to go too."
You should ask your father first.
"Father will definitely agree."
Hanabi spoke with absolute certainty.
Zhang Yu stood up.
Let's go.
Hinata also stood up.
" Boss Zhang Yu, are you leaving now?"
"We still need to deliver invitations to other places."
It's getting late.
Hinata glanced outside.
The light outside the courtyard had already dimmed.
"Why don't you stay here and rest tonight?"
Zhang Yu looked at her.
"Stay overnight?"
"Um."
Hinata nodded.
"Father has already arranged the room."
"Besides, going back now wouldn't be convenient."
Zhang Yu did not hesitate.
"Can."
Hanabi immediately raised her hand.
"Is Master staying here tonight?"
"Right."
"Can I sleep with my master?"
Hinata quickly pulled her to her side.
"No."
"Why?"
"Master needs to rest."
Hanabi thought for a moment.
"Then I'll see my master again tomorrow."
"Can."
Zhang Yu reached out and ruffled her hair.
Come to the tavern tomorrow.
"Good!"
Hanabi nodded happily.
That night, the Hyuga brothers Hyuga Hiashi and Hizashi Hyuga, talked for a long time.
Zhang Yu did not go over to disturb them.
He stayed at the Hyuga residence for one night.
The next morning.
After having breakfast at the Hyuga Clan, Zhang Yu prepared to leave.
Hinata escorted him all the way to the gate of the mansion.
Hanabi followed beside them.
"Master, remember to teach me Ninjutsu tomorrow."
"I won't forget."
"Give me some snacks too."
"You'll get it if you perform well."
Hanabi immediately straightened up.
I will definitely practice hard today.
Zhang Yu nodded.
"Let's go back first."
Hinata stood to the side and whispered, " Boss Zhang Yu, I will definitely go to the Summer Festival."
I will wait for you.
"Um."
Hinata gripped the invitation in her hand.
Zhang Yu turned and left the Hyuga residence.
After walking a certain distance, the system prompt appeared again.
[bite!]
[The host has fully completed the mission: to resolve the internal strife within the Hyuga Clan.]
[Received 500,000 gold coins.]
[Gain one chance to summon an undead.]
[Current Gold Coin Balance: 1,000,000.]
[Remaining undead summon attempts: 3.]
Zhang Yu was in a very good mood as he looked at the system notification.
This visit to the Hyuga Clan has been more fruitful than I expected.
Not only did he resolve the internal strife within the Hyuga Clan and gain Hyuga Clan favor, but he also facilitated the pairing of Hyuga Hiashi and Hizashi Hyuga.
Most importantly, his gold coin balance finally surpassed one million.
"Next, we'll continue sending out invitations."
Zhang Yu adjusted his direction and walked straight along Konoha Street toward the flower shop owned by the Ino Yamanaka family.
The streets of Konoha were busier than usual.
With only a week left until the Summer Festival, many people have already appeared on the streets preparing for the event.
Zhang Yu walked through several streets and soon arrived at the Ino Yamanaka.
Through the glass window, he saw Ino arranging flowers in the shop.
Several pots of blooming flowers were displayed at the entrance of the shop.
There were a few customers inside the shop, selecting bouquets.
Zhang Yu pushed open the door and went inside.
The bell on the door rang softly.
Ino didn't even look up.
Welcome.
What kind of flowers do you need?
She picked up a bouquet of red roses and turned to introduce them.
Upon recognizing the person who approached, Ino's voice immediately changed.
" Zhang Yu?"
She put the bouquet back on the table and walked over quickly.
What brings you here?
"I've come to deliver your invitation."
Zhang Yu took out an invitation and handed it to her.
Ino took it and glanced at the cover.
" The Undead Tavern Summer Festival?"
"That's right."
"It will be held in one week."
Zhang Yu said, "If the Yamanaka Clan has time, they can participate together."
Ino carefully put the invitation away.
"Of course I have time."
"I'll definitely go if you invite me."
After she finished speaking, she looked Zhang Yu up and down.
"But have you been very busy lately?"
"Fine."
What do you mean by "it's alright"?
Ino puts her hands on her hips.
"It feels like it's been ages since I last saw you?"
Seven days and three hours.
Zhang Yu answered very quickly.
Ino was stunned.
"You remember it so clearly?"
"Certainly."
"It's been exactly seven days and three hours since I last left the flower shop."
Ino looked at him, and the smile on her face slowly became more pronounced.
"It seems you do miss me after all."
"I didn't say that."
But you remember the time.
Keeping track of time doesn't mean I miss you.
What does that mean?
"That means I have a good memory."
Ino gave a soft hum.
"Still so stubborn."
