Genshin Impact: Starting Guide - End of the World Qi Bao

The group walked and talked openly down the street. However, when Juexi tried to leave the island for Mingshen Island, she was stopped.

"Wait a minute! Please show your 'pass'."

Jue Xi was momentarily astonished.

"Pass"?

After pondering for a while, Jue Xi suddenly realized something and thought to herself.

Yeah, I'm not with Yingmei or in the main storyline, and Thomas isn't with me either. I don't have any credentials for landing on the island, staying overnight, or traveling...

The investigators, seeing that the group was dressed in strange clothes, guessed that they were foreigners and continued their story.

"If you don't have a 'pass,' please leave. That's the rule."

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Hey, everyone! I've been following you for ages! What happened to your 'passes'? You left them at the restaurant where you ate earlier. Here, here, I'll get them for you."

Juexi glanced at him and saw the blond-haired man with the Fire God's Eye. Wasn't that Thomas? Why was he trying to curry favor with her?

"Thomas?"

Upon seeing that it was Toma, the magistrate was momentarily at a loss for what to do. Although he was ostensibly just a minor household official in charge of the Shinto shrine, everyone knew that he was second only to the Shinto siblings in the Shinto family, practically above everyone else… Moreover, judging from Toma's respectful demeanor, this outsider was likely someone of considerable importance. Therefore, after careful consideration, the magistrate made a decision that went against his superiors, and with a chrysanthemum-like smile, he spoke…

"Hey, gentlemen, I was just following orders from my superiors. Please don't take offense. You must have important business to attend to on Narukami Island. Please come in, please come in."

Now he just wants to get rid of these people, afraid that they will blame him.

Jue Xi couldn't help but sigh. She realized that the chameleon she learned as a child was a bit too conservative. People, their faces, they really do have power. Jue Xi said as she accepted the "pass" from Thomas.

"This is what you wanted. And I'm an extraordinary person, so what kind of adult could I be?"

Upon hearing this tone, the official in charge of the investigation realized he had probably caused trouble and quickly apologized.

"My lord, please spare me! I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. Please let me go, I have a superior..."

Juexi felt Qibao tugging at her clothes from behind, knowing that she was telling her to stop, so she immediately interrupted.

"Alright, alright, we have other things to talk about later, we don't have time to blame you."

After saying that, he turned to Thomas and continued.

"And Mr. Thomas, shall we meet at the 'Wooden Leak Tea Room' later?"

Thomas was somewhat surprised that this person was indeed amazing; he knew where he was going before he even said it... but he didn't show it as he replied.

"Yes, Mr. Juexi, the patriarch is already waiting for you."

Juexi, along with her family of three, also left the island under Thomas's guidance.

On the way, Juexi thought to herself, "This script isn't right. Normal travelers are received by Ayaka, but why is it Ayaka who's receiving me? Is this some kind of preferential treatment?"

Juexi and the others followed Tom to the Wooden Leak Tea Room.

Ayato, kneeling before the tea table, smiled and squinted as he spoke.

"Mr. Juexi, you've finally arrived! It's wonderful to see you here."

Qi Bao was so startled by the voice that her pupils dilated slightly.

Chapter 100 Kamisato Siblings

Kiana carefully examined the patriarch... and came to a conclusion after a moment.

This person must be a master of manipulation. That same annoying voice really brings back bad memories. It's just blue hair, though. If it were blond, I'd seriously wonder if that bastard Otto had also time-traveled.

Even under Kiana's intense gaze, Ayato Kamisato remained unfazed and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"It seems that Mr. Juexi's female companion is quite interested in me?"

Juexi thought to herself, "How could I not be interested? My Qibao is probably already thinking about where to bury you with Hu Tao later." But Juexi naturally wouldn't say that.

"Your Excellency, the head of the Kamisato family, are joking. My daughter Qi Bao is just curious about your voice. Your Excellency, your voice sounds a lot like one of her 'deceased friends'."

"Oh? Judging from this young lady's eyes, she must be a very important old friend?"

Juexi couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing Lingren's words, thinking to herself, "Yes, that's extremely important." After a moment, Juexi spoke seriously.

"I was just thinking about something funny, sorry. Anyway, no one visits a temple without a reason. Why would the head of the family help us solve all sorts of troubles for no apparent reason and even invite us to be guests?"

Ayato Kamisato slowly stood up and said.

"I wonder if it's convenient for you, Mr. Juexi? Please allow me a moment to speak with you."

Juexi glanced at Qibao and said.

"Qibao, I'm going to talk to the head of the Shenli family about some things. You take Qiqi and play here for a while. As for Wendy, just tell him not to cause any trouble."

Wendy protested, "I'm not a child, how could I possibly cause trouble?" Kiana nodded. Ayato, of course, heard these words and chuckled.

"Mr. Juexi, you flatter me. There's no need to be so polite. If you'd like, just call me Brother Lingren. As for your friends, Thomas..."

Thomas had just led a few people to the wooden tea room and then left in a hurry. When Ayato called, Thomas immediately came over and said slowly with a smile.

"Please, Miss Kiana, Miss Wendy, and little Qiqi, come with me. The head of the family has thoughtfully prepared some Inazuma specialties and wines for you, as well as coconut milk and some things that little Tuanzhuan likes to eat."

Wendy and Qiqi said the same thing at the same time.

"Fine wine (coconut milk)..."

Kiana, of course, wasn't so easily fooled. She covered her forehead with one hand, utterly speechless, thinking to herself, "Wendy, you're just like Qiqi, both acting like little kids."

Jue Xi immediately replied.

"Brother Ayato is too kind, Qi Bao, there's no need to be so polite with Brother Ayato."

Ayato replied.

"In that case, Brother Juexi, let's go."

Aya led Juexi into a quiet room, where a beautiful girl with blue hair sat at the table, having already prepared tea for them. Upon their arrival, she immediately stood up respectfully, bowed, and greeted them.

Jue Xi was also somewhat surprised to see this scene. Wasn't this the "White Egret Princess"? Back then, when she first met the traveler, she had to stay behind a screen. Now that she had actually shown herself, did she realize that she was in such a high position?

Ayato explained from the side.

"Brother Juexi, this is my younger sister, Ayaka Kamisato."

Ayaka also chimed in from the side.

"I have been looking forward to your arrival, Mr. Juexi. Having met you today, I am now convinced that you have the power to 'change the situation.' In Inazuma today, under the implementation of the 'Eye Hunting Order,' the wishes of the people are being trampled on at will."

Jue Xi immediately interrupted.

"Wait, I've long heard that the 'White Heron Princess' is beloved by the people, and today I know why. But with your brother Ayato's intelligence network, knowing so much about me, you should also know that I am now an executor of the Fatui Clan, right?"

Ayato Kamisato still wore that fake smile on his face as he slowly began to speak.

"Brother Juexi, you flatter me. I have no intelligence network whatsoever. It's just that your performance in Mondstadt and Liyue was so outstanding that the reputation of 'Sword Master' naturally reached Inazuma. My sister and I are not afraid of being laughed at, but we simply wish to make your acquaintance. My sister, Ayaka, is also of marriageable age, and I find Brother Juexi to be a very handsome man..."

Even the usually good-natured Ayaka interrupted this time.

“Brother…” (This is not what we planned; my brother never said he would send me away.)

Juexi glanced at Ayaka Kamisato and replied to Ayato.

"Brother Ayato, please don't joke around. You know I already have Kiana."

Ayato, unusually serious, spoke with a solemn expression.

"What I said earlier was just a joke. As an older brother, I would never trade my sister's happiness."

Linghua was moved for a second, then heard her brother say something.

"However, judging from my sister's behavior just now, it's not entirely that she has no interest in you, Brother Juexi. Someone with your character and strength is of the highest caliber, so it's normal for you to have wives and concubines."

Juexi was just joking.

"Does Brother Ayato willingly accept his sister as a concubine?"

"Hahaha, what's wrong with Brother Juexi saying so?"

Ayaka was also furious, she said angrily.

"Brother! Stop joking!"

Juexi spoke first.

"Alright, Ayato-nii, let's get down to business."

Ayato, abandoning his usual frivolous demeanor, sighed and said...

"To be honest, Brother Juexi, Inazuma is currently facing internal and external troubles. Internally, there is the 'Eye Hunt Order,' and externally, there is the resistance army. We urgently need someone to break the deadlock."

“What you said about internal troubles is correct, but as for external troubles, you should be referring to me. After all, I am the executor of the Fatui Clan, and it was I who came to Inazuma this time.”

Ayato looked shocked (he was definitely faking it).

"Is that so? But based on my understanding of Brother Juexi, I'm not worried."

Jue Xi also said.

"Alright, then I'll recommend a way to break this deadlock for you two. I have a friend named Ying, who will be arriving in Inazuma in a few days. She will naturally help you then, and all you need to do is this..."

……

Linghua asked.

"Mr. Juexi, is this really a good idea? This is too dangerous. Will Ying be in danger?"

"It's alright, don't worry. Her greatest danger won't be that Thunder General. It doesn't matter, I'll take care of it when the time comes."

Ayato thought for a moment and then spoke.

"If things really develop as you predicted, Mr. Juexi, it is indeed a good plan. After the incident, Ying will also gain a high status in Inazuma. But does someone who can block Wuxiang's knife really exist?"

"Don't worry, everything will be fine. I've told you how to resolve the situation. See you later, Ayato-nii. We have other things to take care of."

Linghua also tried to persuade him to stay.

"How about we have a meal together? Mr. Juexi, you've come from afar, we should certainly treat you well."

Jue Xi thought for a moment and then refused.

"No, I have some personal matters to discuss with that scoundrel."
