Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

Su Bai rubbed his temples. Based on his understanding of Xiao Gong, if Master Zheng Sheng were really captured, Xiao Gong would definitely go to the prison to rescue him. Although Xiao Gong's strength was decent, it was still somewhat inferior to Sha Luo's. If the two of them clashed, it would be a real problem. Su Bai didn't think Sha Luo would let Xiao Gong's Eye of God go.

Is that so? That makes sense. Linghua's heart stirred slightly. In the previous Final Fantasy, there were more than a few reports of Su Bai and Xiao Gong playing around everywhere. Now, after two years, they still have such a good relationship. It's truly enviable.

"Ayaka, what are you thinking about?"

"Ah, no, nothing, I was just thinking about the Eye Hunting Order."

Linghua's calm expression might fool others, but Su Bai immediately saw through her slightly panicked eyes. Having been Linghua's friend for so many years, Su Bai knew her quite well. However, seeing that Linghua didn't intend to tell him, Su Bai naturally didn't ask any further questions. After all, it's normal for Linghua to have some secrets as she grows up.

"If there are no problems, then I'll set off with Ying. It's been a long time since I've been to Inatsuma Castle. I wonder if my friends there will recognize me."

"They'll definitely recognize you. After all, your friends have been hanging out with you for so long. It would be strange if they didn't."

Linghua seemed to be thinking of something, so she covered half her face with her fan, but her smiling eyes suggested that she had thought of something interesting.

"Su Bai, be careful on the road. If there is any danger, make sure you are safe before you go to rescue Master Zheng Sheng. Don't be reckless."

"Thoma and I will have a meal prepared at the Wooden Leak Tea House in anticipation of your good news. If necessary, I will send someone to meet you."

Thomas, who had just finished preparing the meal and brought it to the pavilion, froze on the spot when his young mistress announced that she was going to the Wooden Leak Tea House to invite Su Bai and the traveler to dinner. Looking at the dishes on the table, Thomas's eye twitched; he had sweated profusely preparing this meal...

Fine, let it be a wooden leak tea room then. At worst, we can prepare a less complicated hot pot. After all, this is Miss's idea, and as a retainer, he can't really object.

Chapter 255 The Heavenly Palace

"Is this Inazuma Castle? It's huge!"

Walking on the streets of Inazuma Castle, Paimon exclaimed repeatedly. She and Ying hadn't paid much attention to Inazuma Castle before, and they were surprised to find that it was so big.

Looking at the familiar street before him, Su Bai felt a pang of emotion. Before he left Inazuma, when the Eye Hunting Order had just begun, this street was much more bustling than it is now. Back then, Inazuma was not as lifeless as it is now.

"Eye Hunting Order, tsk, I really don't know what that old woman Ying is thinking. Ouch... Ying, why are you pinching me?"

Before Su Bai could finish muttering, a sharp pain suddenly shot through the soft flesh of his waist, followed by Ying's questioning voice.

"Who's the old woman? Don't you know I'm only eighteen?"

Ying stood with her hands on her hips, her face stern with displeasure. Su Bai actually called her an old woman, how could a young and beautiful girl like her be an old woman? Su Bai rubbed the pain in his waist and gave a wry smile.

"Hotaru, I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about the god of Inazuma, the shadow, the shadow of a shadow."

"??? Isn't Inazuma's god called Raiden General? How come he's called Shadow now? If I remember correctly, Inazuma only has one god."

“You’re absolutely right. Generally speaking, Inazuma does have only one god, but that doesn’t prevent the fact that Raiden-sama has two names.”

Su Bai mimicked Zhong Li's mannerisms, spouting meaningless nonsense. This infuriated Ying to the point of near rage. Perhaps she was so angry that her brain wasn't working properly, because Ying suddenly gave Su Bai a sweet smile. This strange smile almost gave Su Bai goosebumps. Good heavens, had Ying really lost her mind?

"Hehe, Su Bai, if you don't want Shen He to know that you have so many close female friends in Inazuma, you'd better tell me everything you know. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that one day when we go to Liyue, I won't accidentally reveal the relationship between Miss Ayaka and you."

Su Bai's lips twitched. What the hell? Who did Ying learn these weird words from? Where did the innocent Ying from Mondstadt go? How could she have become so despicable in such a short time?

Seeing Su Bai staring at her strangely, Ying felt a little uneasy. After all, this was the idea that Yae no Miko had given her. He said that as long as she used this method, Su Bai would tell her a lot of information about Inazuma.

"Never mind, it's not a secret anyway, it's okay to tell you. Besides, Sister Shenzi probably wants you to help persuade her old friend to come out."

"Huh? Su Bai, how did you know this was the method the Eightfold Divine Child told me?"

"...I haven't told Sister Shenzi how to send private messages yet. The method she told you was posted in the group, so of course I can see it..."

Su Bai waved his phone and gave Ying a look as if she were an idiot. Ying then remembered that Yae no Miko had told her about this method in the group chat. Ying scratched her head awkwardly. It seemed that she had been spending too much time with Paimon these past few days and had become stupid because of Paimon.

"Actually, Shadow's experiences are quite tragic, but it's no use for you to know that now. Let me tell you what happened between General Thunder and Shadow."

"Actually, it's quite simple. For some reason, the original Raijin Kage transformed her body into a puppet and gave it independent consciousness and thought, while Kage's consciousness remained hidden in a sword, allowing the puppet to manage Inazuma on her behalf."

Su Bai paused to let Ying digest the information he had just said. Ying was completely bewildered. She couldn't understand why Ying would want to transform her body into a puppet. Wasn't this just asking for trouble?

"As for some detailed information, I'm not very clear either. If you really want to know about Thor, you can ask Sister Shenzi in private. She knows a lot about her god."

"Su Bai, Su Bai, there are Shogunate troops ahead collecting the Eye of God. Should we go and stop them?"

Not far away, Paimon, who was flying in the sky, noticed something was wrong immediately. After observing for a while, she flew back and reported the situation to Su Bai and Ying.

It wasn't because Paimon was particularly enthusiastic; it was simply because Ayaka had said she would cook something delicious and wait for Ying and the others to come back so they could eat together, which made Paimon so concerned about it.

"Come here quickly."

A deliberately lowered voice reached Su Bai and Ying's ears. Su Bai smiled slightly; he already knew who had made the fake God's Eye that had been confiscated.

Meanwhile, Ying, who was still unaware of what was going on, followed Su Bai to a corner in a daze. A girl who came out from the corner was stunned when she saw Su Bai, and then excitedly said.

"Su Bai, when did you get back? It's so good that you're back. I was just thinking about how to rescue Master Zheng Sheng. I didn't expect you to suddenly appear. With you here, Master Zheng Sheng will definitely be rescued."

"Haha, I just got back not long ago. Looking at you with all those fireworks, are you planning to blow up the prison of the Heavenly Territory and rescue people in the chaos?"

"Hehe, I have a little bit of an idea, but now that you're back, we won't need those high-powered fireworks anymore."

Xiao Gong chuckled twice and tossed the fireworks aside. In Xiao Gong's memory, there was no one in Inazuma that Su Bai couldn't get out, let alone Master Masamori, who was only suspected of forging the Eye of God. The Shogunate army that captured him didn't even have any evidence.

"Su Bai, is this pretty girl, who shares similar hobbies with Ke Li, Xiao Gong?"

Ying looked at Xiaogong curiously. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that Xiaogong and Keli looked a bit alike. Not only were their hair colors similar, but even their hobbies were so similar. If it weren't for the fact that Xiaogong didn't have Keli's pointed ears, Ying would have thought that Xiaogong was Keli's long-lost sister.

"Hey? You're Su Bai's friend, right? Hello, my name is Xiao Gong. We can make fireworks together sometime."

"Hello, my name is Ying, and I am a traveler. That flying over there is my mascot, no, it's my emergency food Paimon."

"That's completely wrong. This is even worse than a mascot."

Hearing Ying introduce her like that again, Paimon angrily tugged at Ying's hair. Every time he introduces her to strangers, he always says she's emergency food. It's so awful.

Xiaogong, standing to the side, was immediately dazzled by Paimon's ability to speak and its high intelligence. She really wanted one of these adorable little elves. Su Bai, on the other hand, was already used to it.

"Let's continue our discussion when we get back. Let's go to the prison of Tianling County first. Master Zhengsheng is waiting for us."

"Yes, yes, Master Zheng Sheng is still waiting for us. Little Paimon, I'll take you out to play when we have time."

"Huh? Really? That's great, Ying! Look, Xiaogong treats me better than you do!"

Chapter 256 Rescuing People (1)

Outside the prison of the Tenryo magistrate, two burly shogunate soldiers were on guard duty. Although it was almost time for them to finish their shift, they did not relax for a moment.

Since the Eye Hunt Order was implemented, countless people have been eyeing the prison. After all, compared to training new people from scratch, the cost of forming combat power among the people in the prison is much lower. If it weren't for Kujo Sara's meticulous arrangements for the prison, the number of people who would have escaped would probably have been quite large.

"Those two gatekeepers look very serious. Su Bai, are we really going to go in through the main gate?"

As Paimon floated in the sky, looking at the guards who were much stronger than ordinary people and looked like they were not to be trifled with, she began to have second thoughts. She was very worried that before Master Zhengsheng could be rescued, they would be captured first.

Xiao Gong was also a little uneasy. This was the first time in her life that she had been so close to the prison of the Heavenly Territory. When she was imprisoned for setting off fireworks before, it was just an ordinary prison. But this prison had a much more solemn and murderous feeling than an ordinary prison.

"Su Bai, are you sure it's okay? I have a feeling that if we take one more step closer, those two guards will draw their swords at us."

Ying watched the two shogunate soldiers guarding the gate warily. She felt that these two guards were even more stressful than the sea monsters she had encountered in the wild. Although she knew that Su Bai had a good relationship with the Inatsuma general named Kujo Sara, she was afraid that if something unexpected happened, they would not be able to leave this place easily.

As it turned out, Ying's guess was quite accurate. As soon as Su Bai and the others stepped into the prison area, the two guards immediately put their hands on the hilts of their swords, which terrified Paimon, who shuddered and hid behind Ying.

"Halt! This is a prison, no trespassing allowed."

A stern voice came from within the armor, and the exposed eyes stared intently at Su Bai and his companions, giving the impression that they would draw their swords if they took another step forward.

"Ahem, are the guards responsible for watching over the entrance to the prison of the Heavenly Territory so strict now? I remember that a few years ago we could still visit prisoners."

Seeing the two guards so tense, Su Bai was still a little unaccustomed to it. But when he saw that Su Bai seemed to know some of the old rules of the prison, the two guards breathed a sigh of relief. One of the guards even said with a hint of resentment.

"Hmph, if it weren't for a bunch of rats always trying to rescue those vicious criminals from the prison, my brother and I wouldn't be wasting our training time here."

"Today's training was personally instructed by General Kujo Sara. We finally had this great opportunity to get stronger, but today it's our turn to guard the prison."

Perhaps because they had finally found someone who knew the rules, the two guards started complaining, leaving Ying completely bewildered. Having traveled through Mondstadt and Liyue, Ying had no idea that Inazuma's situation would be so complicated.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about it anymore. The more we talk about it, the angrier we get. What brings you guys here? If you don't have anything to do, you should leave now. Visiting is no longer allowed in prison."

Perhaps realizing they had said too much, the two guards waved to signal Su Bai and the others to leave quickly. Seeing that the two guards were not evil people, Su Bai did not make things difficult for them. He took out the token that Kujosa had given him earlier and waved it in front of the two guards.

The two guards were immediately dumbfounded. Good heavens, General Kujo Sana's token? Are you someone sent by General Kujo Sana incognito? Why didn't you say so earlier? We're doomed.

"Don't worry, you two, I won't tell anyone what you just said. I just want to go in and get someone out of there, you know what?"

“Well, sir, please don’t make things difficult for us brothers. General Kujo Sara said that no one is allowed to take people out of the prison under any identity. If you really want to get people out, I’m afraid you’ll have to have Lord Kujo come in person.”

"However, if you want to go in, we can still let you in."

Su Bai frowned. It seemed that Inazuma's situation was worse than he had thought. Some family members must have also tried to take advantage of those imprisoned in the jail, otherwise Kujo Sara would not have given such an order.

"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll just go in and take a look."

Su Bai didn't want to make things difficult for these two loyal samurai from Inazuma. He believed that once he was in prison, based on his understanding of Kujo Sara, Kujo Sara would definitely come to see for himself who dared to be so bold.

After watching Su Bai and his companions enter the prison, the two samurai guarding the prison gate immediately summoned a scout from the Tenryo magistrate and ordered the scout to relay what had happened to Kujo Sara as quickly as possible.

"Big brother, who is that man with the Kujo Sasara General's token? That's the Kujo Sasara General's token. Even the head of the Kujo family doesn't have one."

"You're asking me? Who should I ask? Anyway, this is something we little people can't get involved in. I just hope that if anything goes wrong, we won't be held responsible."

The guard's words drew frequent nods from the other guard. Regardless of who the man was or what his status was, they only needed to carry out the tasks assigned by General Kujo Saro; the rest was not their concern.

Inside the prison, the Shogunate soldiers who had been working there for some time were a little confused when they saw Su Bai and his group swaggering in through the entrance. However, they quickly regained their composure. After all, they hadn't let the people in, so if anything happened, it was the guards' fault.

"Su Bai, the prison is so big, why don't we find someone to ask Master Zheng Sheng where he's being held?"

Xiao Gong tugged at Su Bai's clothes and whispered a reminder. Su Bai shook his head. The people here were quite wary of their posters and wouldn't tell the truth.

"Come with me. I've already sensed Master Zhengsheng's location, but he doesn't seem to be in good condition. Ying, do you have the healing medicine that Baishu gave you? Master Zhengsheng might need it later."

"Master Zheng Sheng was injured? But he didn't have any injuries when he was arrested."

Xiao Gong tilted his head in confusion. Could it be that Master Zheng Sheng had a conflict with the criminals in the prison?

"No, it's vigilante justice."

Unlike the simple-minded Yomiya, Ying had already guessed why Master Masamori was injured. Upon hearing the word "vigilante justice," Yomiya froze on the spot. This naive girl, who had little understanding of the dark side of Inazuma, never imagined that someone would resort to vigilante justice.

"Isn't vigilante justice illegal? Why would anyone use it?"

"It's all about the profits. I just heard from the staff in the prison that if they catch a craftsman who helps people forge the Eye of God, they can get promoted two ranks and receive a large sum of Mora."

"Given such a great temptation, let alone resorting to vigilante justice, it's not impossible for comrades to kill each other outside."

Su Bai glanced at Xiao Gong. To be honest, he really didn't want the innocent Xiao Gong to come into contact with the dark side of the world, but rather than letting her see what Master Zheng Sheng looked like, it would be better to tell her about it first so that she could be prepared.
