However, this hostility is not hatred, but rather the hostility stemming from a sense of powerlessness caused by the wavering of one's own beliefs.
The people here seem to be a little too loyal to their country.
They are even unwilling to accept the existence of other countries.
Kanzaki Teru also noticed something: despite the fact that it clearly existed, the people here seemed completely unaware of it.
For example, he made up a story based on his memory about how ancient people loved to travel.
Kanzaki Teru firmly believes that this event absolutely exists in history, which is why he dares to say it so boldly.
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper rejected it immediately. They seemed to have never heard of this matter and did not consider traveling around to be something to be envied.
Instead, they prefer to stay in their own country, as if that's the only way to be respected forever.
Even though he himself was a young master, when the shopkeeper said he wanted to go out, Xi couldn't help but feel a slight resistance in his reaction.
Chapter 170: The Gentle Homecoming
Kanzaki Teru didn't want the shopkeeper to have a bad impression of him here.
Although his identity is a powerful force, it is indeed impossible to ignore.
However, Kanzaki Teru didn't want him to unintentionally affect those psychological aspects.
Only when you are truly loved and respected by others can you expect them to be loyal and devoted to you.
Therefore, Kanzaki Teru cut his losses by not mentioning the matter, and through his own speculation, he gradually began to conceive of this mysterious Yan Kingdom.
If you rely on others to tell you everything word by word, then you're not the god "740" Qi Hui.
His purpose in asking questions was simply to learn more, or to reconstruct this mysterious place through his own observations.
He then pulled the shopkeeper aside and, with a humble demeanor, asked him many questions about financial management and business.
Perhaps it was Shen Zhihui's unique personal charm, but the shopkeeper seemed to have completely forgotten what he had just said that had made them unhappy.
Now he's putting on a fawning act again, answering every single question Kanzaki Teru asks.
She was afraid that she might say too little or miss something, thus displeasing the young master.
After Kanzaki Teru had a general understanding of the money exchange's business, he didn't linger and got into his sedan chair to go home.
His carriage was still far away, not even reaching the gate of the mansion.
Princess Gaoyue, who had come from a great distance, waited at the door without knowing where the news came from.
When Kanzaki Teru got off the carriage, he didn't notice Princess Takatsuki at the door.
Out of the corner of my eye, I mistook them for the maids who had been standing at the door.
However, Princess Gaoyue's extraordinary temperament made her stand out among the crowd.
Kanzaki Teru didn't pay much attention. After getting off the carriage and walking to the gate, he realized that Princess Takazuki had been standing there for quite some time.
This scene of the couple's affection must begin immediately.
Kanzaki Teru put aside his fatigue and walked towards the direction where Princess Gaoyue was standing.
"Qianlong, why did you come out? You must be exhausted."
This wasn't a joke from Kanzaki Teru. The sheer size of their mansion is evident even in a simple dining scene.
It would take them at least ten or twenty minutes to walk from the courtyard where they usually rest to the main gate.
This round trip is equivalent to going out for a walk.
Princess Gaoyue simply shook her head with a smile, showing no signs of fatigue on her face, but rather radiant with health.
A pair of clear almond-shaped eyes shone brightly, but within those large eyes, only the image of Kanzaki Teru could be seen.
“Hui goes out to work hard, that’s the real hardship. I haven’t seen my husband all day, and Qianlong wants to come to the door to see him as soon as possible!”
Her sweet, coquettish words made Kanzaki Teru's heart itch.
What more could one ask for in life?
Kanzaki Teru didn't say anything mushy; instead, he simply pulled Princess Takatsuki into his arms.
Sometimes body language is a thousand times or even a hundred times more powerful than words.
Princess Takazuki nestled happily in Kanzaki Teru's arms.
"If I had known Hui would be home by now, I would have already asked the kitchen to prepare the meal. They're just waiting for us!"
After saying that, Princess Gaoyue straightened up, broke free from Kanzaki Hui's embrace, grabbed Kanzaki Hui's sleeve, and led him into the house.
Kanzaki Teru smiled indulgently and was pulled along to follow...
Petals fluttered in the courtyard, drifting behind the two of them, as if adding color to the romance.
Upon seeing this scene, many maids began to whisper amongst themselves, covering their faces and laughing unrestrainedly.
This clearly shows that although the Kanzaki family was extremely wealthy, their governance principles were in line with those of the entire Yan Kingdom, and the relationship between servants and masters was very harmonious.
Kanzaki Teru was almost intoxicated by this dreamlike scene; what man wouldn't love this darn first love atmosphere?
At the dinner table, Princess Gaoyue spoke at length about her longing, acting coquettishly and charmingly, but without appearing pretentious or silly.
Kanzaki Teru had absolutely no room to resist and could only nod in obedience.
Kanzaki Teru has no memory of what he ate at that meal, only remembering Princess Takatsuki's sweet smile and soft, coquettish manner.
Her eyes were glazed over, devoid of any seductive or alluring charm, but rather a pure and innocent beauty from which she willingly surrendered.
After dinner, Kanzaki Hiroshi and Princess Takatsuki spent a brief moment of tenderness together. Fortunately, Kanzaki Hiroshi was still quite determined, with his mind still preoccupied with the unsolvable mystery of 5.1.
"Chitaki, things are different now than before. I can stay home with you now."
"I won't be able to spend all my time at home with you anymore, but I'll try to spend all my free time with you, okay?"
Kanzaki Teru also felt reluctant to leave, but for now, his ambition outweighs his ambition, which is barely enough to keep him away from the comfort of a gentle life.
Although Princess Gaoyue looked reluctant, she was still very understanding and considerate.
"Hui works so hard, so naturally I should be more considerate of you."
Kanzaki Teru felt incredibly comfortable. 852 It was clearly an extremely ordinary conversation between husband and wife 104, but for some reason, he felt a great sense of satisfaction 278.
Chapter 171: That Strange Scent Again
Princess Takazuki's thoughtfulness and lack of silliness made Kanzaki Teru even more reluctant to part with her.
However, the strong desire to accomplish something and the even more fervent determination to unravel the mysteries surrounding him led Kanzaki Teru to bid farewell to Princess Takatsuki and return to his room.
"I'm sorry you've had to go through this difficult time. Don't be sad by yourself. I'll go and finish what I'm doing first, and then I'll come and keep you company."
Kanzaki Teru himself probably never imagined that one day he would be willing to explain his career.
Of course, he no longer has any fragments of his past life in his memory.
However, in our view, the contrast is quite obvious. In the past, Kanzaki Teru, who only wanted to focus on his career, would never have bothered to explain himself.
Now that we're here, perhaps it's the environment, or perhaps it's Princess Gaoyue's unique personal charm, that has softened Kanzaki Hikaru's demeanor.
Princess Gaoyue didn't press the matter further; she simply nodded slightly as a farewell.
Kanzaki Teru beat him to the punch, turning and going into his own room, afraid that if he were a step later, he wouldn't have the same resolve.
As Kanzaki Teru turned to leave, he didn't see the fleeting, indescribable smile that appeared on Princess Gao Yue's face behind him, a smile that seemed to escape everyone's notice.
It's so rare to see Kanzaki Teru so insecure; it really shows how much he's been changed in this world.
Normally, one should go to the study to deal with these matters, but Kanzaki Teru's feet seemed to be out of control, and he walked into his own room.
Along the way, she didn't seem to be thinking at all, as if she should be in that room, completely unaware of why she wasn't in the study to handle these matters.
However, this large room has everything, but it lacks the feeling of sitting in a study; it always feels a bit too casual for men.
Kanzaki Teru walked to the door, and someone immediately opened it. Without paying any attention, he walked directly to a corner of the huge room.
There stands a huge bookcase here, along with a set of tables and chairs that look very upscale.
Kanzaki Teru stood to the side and browsed the books on the bookshelf. These must be books she liked to read before she fainted, otherwise why would they be in the room?
While he was pondering, a maidservant had already served him tea without disturbing him, and then she withdrew.
Perhaps this young master's rule was that when he was reading here, he shouldn't let the servants make any noise.
Kanzaki Teru wasn't a particularly avid reader before, so he wasn't familiar with the names on the bookshelf.
He was just looking for books when he suddenly remembered what the shopkeeper had told him.
During his conversation with the shopkeeper, he had a sudden inspiration and said that he had read some of the things in the book.
However, the shopkeeper seemed to say that they had never heard of any record of scholars traveling in this book.
Although Kanzaki Teru's memories were fragmented, he always felt that the ideas that popped into his head must have some basis.
He picked and chose from the books, casually flipping through a biography of an ancient person.
People who don't enjoy reading to begin with will find it even harder to concentrate when they read with a specific purpose in mind.
However, Kanzaki Teru still tried his best to be patient, and he carefully searched every page and every line with his own eyes.
The strange thing is that these books don't seem to mention that people in ancient times loved to travel.
They wouldn't even mention things like historical figures being banished to other places.
This does seem absurd, but Kanzaki Teru, refusing to believe it, picked up another book and started searching.
It was all in vain; it was as if everything on it had been erased.
However, Kanzaki Teru had this obsession; he felt that something must have been covered up in the book, and he didn't question whether his own thoughts were problematic.
He then pretended to place the ledger he had brought from his previous suitcase on the table.
He casually flipped through the pages a few times, but his mind was actually still processing all the information from the day and his own guesses.
The incense burner in the room seemed to have never been extinguished; a wisp of smoke, though inconspicuous, lingered and swirled around.
The more Kanzaki Teru thought about these things, the stronger the fragrance seemed to become.
The fragrance, when inhaled, went unnoticed; it seemed to possess a captivating magic that allowed you to relax.
However, as night fell, Kanzaki Teru clearly noticed that he was getting very sleepy.
