Genshin Impact: Ningguang is still a pitiful little thing, I invested in her.

"Fox Abode Palace, it's been a long time. I'm sure your martial arts have improved a lot. Let me try my sword."

Lei Dianying knew he couldn't win an argument with Huzhaigong, so he proposed a contest.

This is typical of a country bumpkin; she'll resort to violence if she can't win an argument—a rather dim-witted and simple-minded girl.

Fang Xun was already used to the way Shadow operated.

To give a simple example, if he pinches Gan Yu's face, Gan Yu will say in a pitiful voice that it hurts.

But if you pinch Ying's face, Ying will ask you seriously if you want to rebel. Let's fight.

"Do you know you were wrong?" Lei Yingdian asked Huzhaigong.

Fox Palace snorted: "Wrong, but you'll dare to do it again next time."

Seeing that Fox Palace was not afraid of the cheesy movie at all, Fang Xun finally realized that Yae no Miko had been corrupted by Fox Palace.

Or perhaps, this is Miss Fox's innate wicked sense of humor?

During their playful banter, Huzhaigong noticed a detail: Lei Yingdian casually picked up the teacup Fang Xun had used and started drinking tea from it.

Unintentional actions can often reveal the relationship between two people.

No wonder Lei Yingdian was so angry and wanted to draw his sword; he had embarrassed himself in front of Fang Xun.

"Alright, let's get back to our previous topic."

"Fox Palace, tell me about your new discoveries on this trip down the mountain."

At this point, Raiden really acted as a peacemaker, bringing the topic back on track.

"Ok."

As they discussed serious matters, Fox Palace suppressed its smile and became serious and earnest.

"The Kingdom of Winter attempts to destroy the eternity of Inazuma."

Fox Palace got straight to the point.

"The fools stationed in Inazuma originally just ran a bank and did some insignificant small businesses,"

"But recently, for some unknown reason, the usually low-key Fools have suddenly started making big moves,"

"They have been expanding their businesses and acquiring land everywhere, as if they have received some kind of signal for action."

"Not only that, the Fools also have close ties with the Kujo family, who are the Tenryō magistrates."

"As far as I know, Kujo Takayuki has reached some kind of agreement with the Fools... an agreement specifically designed to bypass Inazuma God."

Fox Palace revealed all the intelligence it had gathered.

"First, they expanded their industries and territories, then they secretly plotted cooperation with the Heavenly Territory Enforcer..."

"What exactly does the Winter Solstice Kingdom want to do?"

Lei Dianzhen frowned slightly, a vague unease creeping into his heart.

Even Shadow and Fox Palace couldn't fathom the thoughts of the Fools.

"Heart of God."

"The goal of the Fools is the heart of God."

At this moment, Fang Xun, who was sitting to the side, spoke up.

He sat there listening for a long time, and the information that Fox Palace was talking about seemed strangely familiar.

Upon closer reflection, isn't this the main plot of the Inazuma arc?

The Fools conspire with Kujo Takayuki, the Eye-Hunting Edict is issued, a resistance army is born under oppression, and the direct war breaks out between Umijima and Narukamima...

The reason why the Fools went to such lengths to break Inazuma's eternity was for one purpose only: to obtain the heart of the god, the Thunder General.

"The Heart of God? The Fools want the Heart of God?"

Fox Palace looked completely surprised; this was a possibility she had never imagined.

Because the heart of God is divided among the seven earthly rulers, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to take the heart of God away from the gods.

"Let's not even talk about whether the Fools can take the Heart of God. Even if they did, what could they do with it?"

Fox Palace asked, his face full of confusion.

For her, who had never possessed the heart of a god, this question was far beyond her comprehension.

Fang Xun explained, "The Winter Queen wants to gather the seven hearts of the gods in order to fight against the Keeper of Heaven's Law."

Collecting the Heart of God to defy the laws of nature?!

Fang Xun's two casually uttered words sounded like a bombshell to the three of them.

Ordinary people may not know this, but the three of them were very clear that the maintainer of the laws of nature was an existence above the seven gods.

The Winter Queen, knowing full well the power of Heaven's laws, still intended to defy them; her courage and audacity were awe-inspiring.

The Thunder Sisters exchanged a glance; they naturally had no doubt about the credibility of Fang Xun's words.

Then everything makes sense.

Why did the Fools suddenly make such a big move? Why did they secretly plot to cooperate with Kujo Takayuki...?

All of this was to obtain the Heart of God from General Thunder.

"How did you know so much unknown information, Fang Xun?"

At this moment, Lei Yingdian, unable to contain his confusion, asked a question.

In fact, it wasn't just Kage who was curious; Raiden Shin and Kitsune Sōgū also wanted to know this.

Fang Xun smiled. He had anticipated this question and had prepared his answer in advance.

"To be honest, a while ago a diplomat from the Fools contacted me, intending to have me join the Fools."

"During my conversation with him, I learned indirectly that the Winter Queen planned to gather the Heart of God to defy the laws of nature."

As soon as the words were spoken, the three of them immediately understood.

It turns out that Fang Xun tricked the diplomats of the Fools into revealing so many unknown secrets.

This also shows that Fang Xun is logically meticulous and thoughtful, able to glean information from snippets of conversation that ordinary people cannot discover.

"We should prepare for this while the Fools haven't made their move yet."

It's her business if the Winter Empress wants to defy the laws of nature.

However, if her plan includes disrupting the 'eternity of Inazuma', the Raiden sisters will never allow it.

"I'm sure Mr. Fang Xun has a plan in mind, so please stop keeping me in suspense."

Fang Xun sat up straight and looked out the window at the sky: "Haiqi Island."

“If I were a member of the Fools, I would deliberately incite conflict between Narukami Island and Umijima Island.”

“They wait until the peace and stability of the country are broken before they intervene and finally get what they want. This is a common tactic of the Fools.”

"Actually, the solution is very simple: just make sure that Narukami Island and Umijima Island don't clash."

As Fang Xun said this, he thought that Xiao Shanhu Gong Xin Hai should have been living on Hai Zhi Island at this time.

Chapter 437 The Five Virtues of Arataki Ito

"Fang Xun, aren't we going to Haiqi Island today?"

On the way down the mountain, Lei Yingdian turned to look at Fang Xun beside him.

After Fang Xun explained his plans, Ying assumed they would be going to Haiqi Island that day.

Therefore, she changed into the clothing of a shadow warrior for ease of movement, and her cascading hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin.

Lei's current movie looks poised and dashing; someone unfamiliar with him might mistake him for Fang Xun's personal bodyguard.

However, once everything was ready for Lei's film, Fang Xun brought up Mondstadt.

"not going."

Fang Xun shook his head, his gaze sweeping over the fiery clouds on the horizon.

"We're unfamiliar with Haizhi Island, so it's not appropriate to go there late at night."

Fang Xun paused for a moment, then continued, "Ying, I understand how you feel right now."

"But the bridge of trust between Narukami Island and Umijima Island cannot be built overnight; it is a gradual and deepening process."

"So I made a special list and asked Fox Palace to help with the purchasing,"

"It's not too late for us to go to Haiqi Island after Fox Palace has prepared everything."

Lei thought about it carefully and felt that Fang Xun's words made a lot of sense.

After all, it concerns Inazuma's future, so we must be fully prepared and ensure that nothing goes wrong.

To be honest, Lei Yingdian, with her hair up and deep in thought, has more of a virtuous wife and loving mother vibe than Gan Yu.

Of course, the premise for Ying to be a virtuous wife and loving mother is not to speak.

Because as soon as she opens her mouth, she reverts to being a silly, country girl again.

“Mr. Fang Xun, I just looked at the shopping list you gave to Fox Palace, and there’s one thing I just can’t figure out.”

"Why did you repeatedly emphasize to Huzhaigong that we must purchase military books?"

Is it because military treatises can play a crucial role?

Raiden tilted his head, his face full of confusion.

She could see Fang Xun's intentions in everything on the list.

This military treatise is the only one that even someone as clever as Lei Dian couldn't fathom Fang Xun's thoughts about.

Fang Xun smiled and replied, "This time, this is just testing the waters."

"The military treatise is a gift I will give to others in the future."

"While having or not having a military treatise won't affect the final outcome, it does determine whether the kindergarten can be expanded again."

"A military treatise has nothing to do with kindergarten?"
