Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

[Raiden Shin: "Already checked in, 5 experience points."]

[Coral Palace Heart Sea: "Hmm, I just checked in too and got 20 experience points. Is this experience point used to increase the group level?"]

[Hiruzen Kyuuki: "………………"]

[Su Hao: "What's wrong? Holding back?"]

[Kuki Shinobu: "It's okay. Remember to let me know when you get home. I have something to discuss with you."]

[Su Hao: "???"]

Su Hao, who had just arrived in Konta Village, felt a sense of unease. Based on his understanding of Hisaki Shinobu, he knew that something had happened to the other party, which was why he said he had something to discuss with him.

"Young Master, would you like to rest here in Konta Village for the night?" Ella suggested to Su Hao.

She could tell that Miss Ren had some ill intentions, which was why she made that suggestion.

"No, let's travel back to Inazuma Castle tonight."

Su Hao shook his head. Things weren't peaceful in Inazuma lately, so he'd better hurry back to Inazuma City, since he was now representing the Society's magistrate.

The other two factions had been suppressing the society, and although they had become much more subdued recently, Su Hao dared not risk his life on the kindness of others.

"Understood." Ella didn't say anything more. She was originally a maid that Su Hao had picked up, and his will was everything to her.

The two continued their hurried journey and stopped chatting in the group, which then fell silent for the time being.

Inside Inazuma Castle, Kuki Shinobu had just helped Kujo Sara maintain the statue of Mitake Naruto, the Great Master of the Imperial Palace. At Su Hao's prompting, she also checked in on the group chat.

Then, a set of shrine maiden clothes with exposed armpits appeared in Shinobu Hisaki's hands.

According to the sign-in notification, I received a set of shrine maiden outfits that Reimu Hakurei wears daily.

"Tsk!" Hisaki Shinobu looked at the shrine maiden outfit in his hand, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

But she didn't throw it away. Instead, she kept it, planning to visit Su Hao herself when he got home and ask him what this chat group was all about.

"Ren, you've had a hard day."

Just as Hisaki Shinobu put away her shrine maiden outfit, a dashing young woman entered.

She had long, smooth black hair, delicate features, and a red tengu mask on her head. Her dark golden eyes reflected the image of Kuki Shinobu.

The newcomer was Kujo Sara, the adopted daughter of the Kujo family, the Tenryō Magistrate, and a general in the Shogunate army.

He is also a good friend of Shinobu Hisaki.

"It's not hard work." Hisaki Shinobu shook his head slightly, indicating that he hadn't had any trouble at all. He had just come to maintain the statue of Mitakenami, the Supreme Lord of the Great Palace.

On Kujo Sara's side, there are several statues of Mitakenakamura, the head of the Imperial Palace, which have been in maintenance for a bit longer.

"Shall we have a spar today?" Kuki Shinobu looked at Kujo Sara. Because she had just received the shrine maiden's outfit, she suddenly felt a little itchy and wanted to spar with her.

"No."

Kujo Sara glanced at Hisaki Shinobu with some surprise, not expecting him to propose a sparring match. However, she shook her head and declined.

This surprised Hisagi Shinobu, because it had always been the other party who had proposed sparring with him.

Why is it that now that I've suggested a sparring match, the other party has refused?

“According to reliable intelligence, a rebel force has emerged on Hachiyū Island.” Kujō Sara looked at Kyuki Shinobu and said in a very calm tone, “Now I will lead the Shogunate army to suppress the rebels.”

Kuki Shinobu was somewhat stunned. She had just joined that chat group and learned from the Coral Palace Heart Sea, the current goddess witch, that the resistance army had just been established.

As a result, Kujo Sara received the news?

The speed at which they obtained information was far too fast; it felt as if there were members of the Shogunate army within the resistance.

"Is this in such a hurry?" Hisaki Shinobu asked with some doubt. The resistance had just begun to emerge, and the shogunate army had already dispatched the general Kujo Sara. Wasn't this a bit too hasty?

“Yes, it’s urgent.” Kujo Sara nodded, looking at her friend, and said seriously, “The emergence of the resistance means that they are trying to challenge the Shogun’s eternity.”

“My father was furious about this, so he sent me to investigate and wipe out the resistance.”

Hisaki Shinobu nodded, said nothing more, and simply told Kujo Sara to be careful on her way before leaving her residence.

Chapter Four: Wild Ambush Group

Chapter Four

As dusk fell, Su Hao and Ella left Konta Village, wanting to return to Inazuma Castle as soon as possible.

If nothing unexpected happens, the two of them should arrive at Inazuma Castle by just as the sun sets.

But then, the unexpected happened.

As is well known, since the lockdown order was issued, the quality of life of the people of Inazuma has dropped by more than one level.

Furthermore, Raiden is secluded in his Pure Land, and Raiden General is basically not involved in anything. Now, the one who truly has a voice is the current Sanbō.

These three observances are naturally the observance of the community, the observance of the heavenly mandate, and the observance of the established order.

Nowadays, the society is weak and unable to participate in most things. Only in matters such as sacrificial rites, celebrations, and entertainment can they take the stage.

The Tenryo Magistrate and the Kansei Magistrate were thriving, not only uniting with other Inazuma families, but also possessing the authority to issue "passes" during the period of national isolation.

This is why, apart from the nobles who can eat a little better in Inazuma these days, the other commoners, or rather, the ordinary people, are far behind.

Life was getting worse day by day, and because of this, Inazuma Kyouchi, who had always admired martial arts, was in a state of disarray.

The number of wandering samurai is increasing, and they have done a lot of things like robbing, hijacking caravans, and seizing Hilichurls' territory.

Now, Su Hao and Ella have encountered the wanderers.

In front of them stood seven wandering samurai wielding katanas, their eyes bloodshot as they stared at the two of them.

The leader of the ronin stared at Su Hao and Ella, and couldn't help but laugh loudly: "A handsome young man with delicate skin and a maid standing next to him."

"That's it, this is the guy! It's a big fish! Catch that guy! Then we brothers won't have to live a life of hardship anymore."

The other ronin were also very excited. They never expected to catch such a big fish. They immediately took action and surrounded Su Hao and Ella.

Judging from their practiced movements, this was not the first time these yakuza had done this.

Upon hearing the ronin's words, Ella frowned slightly. She stepped forward without making a sound and stood in front of Su Hao.

Even surrounded, Su Hao remained calm, instead looking at the leader of the ronin with some curiosity and asking, "Do you know me?"

“How could I not recognize you?” The leading wandering warrior was clearly overjoyed. He looked at Su Hao and replied, “You are a well-known fat sheep.”

"As a nobleman, you don't have guards when you go out, you only bring a maid. I heard that you have recently been doing business with those foreigners from the World Merchants Association, so you must be carrying a lot of Mora."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the wandering samurai leader moved, swinging his katana at Ella.

The moment the leader of the wandering samurai made his move, the other six wandering samurai also sprang into action.

They thought Su Hao might be completely incapable of fighting, but that maid was different; she was very likely a combat maid specially trained by the nobles.

Therefore, while the wandering samurai leader was speaking, he decisively chose to launch a sneak attack, prioritizing the elimination of the maid so that they could happily take her as their prize.

"........."

Ella didn't speak. She reached out her hand, and a pale blue light shimmered on her otherwise unremarkable chest.

A large katana formed from solidified water appeared in Ella's hand. She quickly ducked down to avoid the attack.

"Shua——!!!"

With a flash of blue light, the head of the wandering samurai leader fell to the ground.

Until his death, the wandering samurai leader maintained a sinister grin, as if he could already see himself after successfully launching his sneak attack.

With just one move, the outcome was decided, leaving the surrounding wandering samurai wide-eyed.

"Boss!!!"

"The Eye of God?!"

"Arrest that man first!"

The other wandering samurai did not back down, because they too had fought against the holder of the Eye of God.

But this time, the holder of the Eye of God's strength is a bit terrifying. None of them saw how she swung that sword.

Faced with the swarm of wandering samurai, Su Hao remained calm. Instead, he looked at Ella in front of him and said calmly, "Leave one alive. We need to investigate the leak of our intelligence."

"Yes, Master."

Ella nodded, turned around, and the water katana in her hand disappeared, replaced by dozens of water throwing knives.

"Shua——!!"

With a slight flick of Ella's wrist, dozens of water-throwing knives hurtled toward the wandering samurai.

As the wandering samurai watched the flying knives hurtling towards them, they instinctively raised their katanas, intending to parry and defend.

But to their utter surprise, the water jets collided in mid-air, changing their directions and obscuring the previously clearly visible paths.

It quickly became very complicated, which shocked the wandering samurai.

Accustomed to close-quarters combat, they had never seen anything like this before.

"Pfft pfft pfft—!!"

The throwing knives, formed from solidified water, instantly pierced the bodies of these wandering samurai.

In an instant, five of the six aggressive wandering warriors who had surrounded Su Hao were dead, and the remaining one was bleeding profusely, his eyes filled with terror.

What kind of monster is this maid?! Is she merely a holder of the Eye of God?! How is that possible?!

"Just leave one alive." Su Hao turned around, looked at the surviving wandering warrior, scratched his head, and looked helplessly at Ella beside him, saying, "Couldn't you have left one more?"

After defeating the enemy, Ella said calmly, "Next time, young master."

Seeing Ella's perfunctory attitude, Su Hao didn't say anything more. Instead, he approached the wandering warrior and asked, "I'll give you two choices."

"First, tell me how you obtained my information, and I'll send you to Inazuma Prison."

Before Su Hao could finish speaking, the surviving wandering warrior hurriedly shouted, "222!!! I'm not going to prison!! And I'd rather die than reveal... Wait?! Don't come any closer!!!"

As the wandering samurai spoke, Ella silently stepped forward, a water katana appearing in her hand.
