But Wan Ye is no match for him. He doesn't have the Wings of Wind, nor can he use his invincible falling attack to block damage. Even if he could use the wind element, a cliff is still a cliff, and Newton still has influence in the other world.

Since I've already taken action, I might as well go all the way and make a quick getaway, leaving this awful place behind.

"why?"

Wan Ye suddenly asked.

"Why what?"

“You don’t have to save me. It’s obvious that the generals of Tianling trust you a lot. You’re not a rebel. Saving me would be tantamount to betraying them.”

"Well, to me, Inatsuma is Inatsuma. There's no such thing as a resistance army or a shogunate army. I'm not an Inatsuma person, so in my eyes, it's enough to just do what I think is right."

Su Zhe glanced behind him, but found no trace of the crow feathers flying by. He continued, "As for me, my relationship with Kujo Sara has nothing to do with whether she is a Tenryo magistrate. I will explain this matter if there is an opportunity in the future, otherwise, let it go."

"Life is like this, don't always think that everything is perfect. There's not that much perfection in this world. Just surviving is hard enough."

Chapter 4 The Thunder General Without Thought or Desire, The Firework Girl on Hanamisaka >>

Su Zhe's words seemed to be about Inazuma, but also about his own situation.

When he first started struggling in the sea, wasn't his situation similar to that of many people living in Inazuma?

Now that things have finally taken a turn for the better, at least life is much better than before, so Su Zhe is in a pretty good mood.

Predicaments are simply a matter of breaking through them.

As long as you're alive, there's hope, isn't there?

Wanye nodded and said no more.

The two continued to flee for a while and soon arrived at Hanamizaka. Just as they were discussing whether to change their escape route, a figure suddenly appeared from their left front.

"Over here, over here!"

She was a beautiful blonde girl.

Her attire was somewhat unusual, with a white cloth wrapped around her chest and a red shimenawa tied behind her back, quite different from the Inatsume people Su Zhe had seen along the way.

At that moment, the girl was waving vigorously at them. Upon seeing this, Manye said "in the past," clearly indicating that they knew each other.

"Huh? Wan Ye, who is this guy?"

Manyo didn't know how to explain it. Calling them friends didn't seem right, and calling them enemies didn't work either.

"He helped me, and now he's being hunted down by the shogunate."

"Oh, I see. Hehe~ Then you're our friend too. My name is Yoomiya, Naganohara Yoomiya!"

"Hello, my name is Su Zhe."

@;“Not Inatsuma?”

"Liyue people".

"what?"

ovo

The Night Palace never expected that someone from Liyue would suddenly appear. At this moment, a sentence inexplicably came to mind: After finishing this job, Inazuma will return to Liyue.

But thinking about it, it's a bit absurd. With General Thunder and Lightning around, who would dare to act recklessly?

She didn't dwell on it too much and ran towards Hanamisaka with Wanye and Su Zhe.

“The outside is full of people from the Heavenly Order. They have sealed off all the exits. Let’s go to my house and hide first.”

While talking, he kept an eye on his surroundings, walked through several alleys, avoided the samurai patrolling outside, and finally circled around to the Naganohara family's fireworks warehouse.

"You guys wait here for a bit. The Tianling Enforcement Bureau is cracking down hard right now. Let's talk about it when things calm down... Let me see, um, I need to contact them too."

Xiaogong stuffed the two into the warehouse, then returned to the front of the shop.

The warriors who had been sent to the Heavenly Territory ran over, and she covered her head, whistling, and looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

After they left, Xiaogong glanced at the street and winked at a man dressed as a merchant. The man immediately turned back to Inazuma Castle and went into a small house.

"Lord Thomas, they have successfully taken refuge in the Naganohara family."

"Phew~ thank goodness, nothing went wrong at all."

Upon hearing the news, the enthusiastic young man Thomas breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, we must report this to the patriarch immediately... Go and keep a close eye on the movements of the Heavenly Territory Envoy, and report any intelligence immediately."

"Yes."

After the messenger left, Thomas relayed the message to Ayato Kamisato through the Kamisato family's communication system.

His task was to guide Su Zhe, but now that Wan Ye has caused such a big incident, the situation has obviously become more complicated.

Once this matter fully escalates, both the Kamisato family and the resistance forces will have to take immediate action, otherwise the entire Inazuma situation will likely descend into complete chaos.

...

Because of Manyo's intervention, the impact of the duel before the emperor escalated into a city-wide search operation.

The Tenryo Magistrate launched a large-scale manhunt, extending northward from Inazuma Castle to Hanamizaka and Shirokonojo.

At the same time, because Wan Ye was a member of the resistance, his actions immediately affected various forces behind him.

Kujo Jinya dispatched a large number of personnel to Nashiina to put pressure on the resistance forces stationed there. Friction broke out between the two sides, and they fought three times in just one day.

As it turns out, given the current state of the resistance, they are simply incapable of confronting the shogunate's army head-on.

Therefore, they retreated again and again during the battle, and were finally forced to abandon Nashina Beach and retreat back to Hachiun Island.

The army under the command of the Heavenly Territory also remained at the Nashida Beach for the time being, with no intention of continuing the pursuit. The formalities had been done enough, and now it was time to see how the various parties would react.

The most important thing is the general's decision. If she decides to arrest them, the magistrate will fight to the death to force the rebels to hand them over.

However, at least for now, all actions are being arranged by Kujo Sara. Since the duel before the emperor, the shogun has returned to the castle tower and continued his pursuit of eternity without any thought or desire.

As for Su Zhe and Wan Ye, they remained hidden in the Xiao Gong family's residence without leaving. With a magistrate pulling strings behind the scenes, the investigators did not find them immediately.

At this moment.

As night fell and countless lights shone from homes, the sound of Tianling Fengxing knocking on doors continued unabated.

"Bang bang bang! This is the Heavenly Order, a routine inspection!"

Chaos erupted.

In the small house inside the shop of the Yonomiya family.

The dim light shone on the fragrant dishes on the table, adding a warm and inviting atmosphere to the small room.

Su Zhe sat in a chair, holding a chicken leg in one hand, took a swig of wine, and said, "It smells so good!"

Xiaogong stood there, stunned.

She swore she had never met anyone so outgoing. According to her character, shouldn't she be the one saying those words?

As everyone knows, Xiaogong is lively, generous, and hospitable. Like fireworks, he always brings joy wherever he appears.

Is this my home?

Xiao Gong glanced at his father, who was guarding the door, and confirmed that he had not made a mistake.

"Hmm...Where's Manyo?"

He said he wasn't hungry, probably because his friend had just been killed and he wasn't in the mood to eat.

During the day he hid in the warehouse, Wan Ye just kept looking at the empty shell of the Eye of God without saying a word.

Xiao Gong nodded in understanding, then looked at Su Zhe and asked curiously, "Why aren't you worried at all?"

"Worried? Why?"

"You're wanted by the shogunate now, shouldn't you be worried?"

Should it be?

Shouldn't it?

Should it be?

Xiao Gong tilted her head, somewhat confused about what Su Zhe was thinking. The Shogunate had issued a warrant for his arrest! Wasn't that a big enough deal?

However, over the course of the day, Xiao Gong went to check on Su Zhe and Wan Ye several times, only to find the former fast asleep inside, a stark contrast to Wan Ye, who was grieving alone next door.

Is it that she's carefree, or optimistic and cheerful?

However, Yomiya doesn't dislike this kind of personality; in fact, she quite admires it. She's the same way—happy one day, unhappy the next. Others think she's strange, but now it seems there's something even stranger.

"Eat up, don't be shy."

Su Zhe pointed his oily hand to the table.

"Oh, okay."

"By the way, where's your dad?"

"He's keeping watch outside."

"Aren't you going to come in and eat with us?"

"No need, he has already eaten. Besides, Dad has some seniority in Inazuma. When he's out there, most people won't suspect anything."

Xiao Gong took a couple of bites, then stared at Su Zhe. The latter was munching away, and in no time, a bowl of rice was gone. He was eating rice and vegetables at the same time, and the wine in his hand was still flowing. He clearly only had one mouth, but he could eat more than others with two mouths.

Are all the people of Liyue able to eat this much?

That's not right either.

Xiaogong has been to Liyue, but he has never seen anyone like Su Zhe.

While she was lost in thought, most of the food on the table disappeared.

"Do you want the other leg?"

Su Zhe pointed to the bowl.

"Oh? No, no, you eat, you eat."

Xiao Gong repeatedly declined.

"Then I won't be polite."
