Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

"Even if the rebels' affairs are none of your business, what about the Thousand Rock Army's affairs? We should take a good look at that too."

Su Bai didn't care about the lives of the rebels. Just like what Ayato had said before, he only cared about his family and friends. As for the lives of others, what did it matter to him, Ayato? So Su Bai only wanted to avenge the Chiiwa Army. As for the rebels, let Coral Palace Kokomi do whatever she wanted.

"I'm not suited to answer this question, Su Bai. Have you already explained it once? But if you want to hear it again, I can do it again, so this traveler can hear it too."

"In this mortal world, ordinary people are as fragile as weeds. They will die even without the Evil Eye, but when they have the Evil Eye, at least they have the opportunity to fulfill their wishes."

"You don't need to rush to deny what I said. Just think about the Eye Hunt Order. You'll find that the Eye Hunt Order, which I went to great lengths to make happen, proves that the weak don't even have the chance to fulfill their wishes, right?"

The soldier slowly turned around, seemingly ignoring Ying's angry yet incredulous gaze. Although Su Bai was somewhat shocked, it wasn't too hard to accept. Ignoring Ying, the soldier continued speaking.

"Create conflict to pave the way for the spread of the Evil Eye, let the power attract the weak who seek it. As long as you pay a small price, you can obtain power comparable to the owner of the Eye of God. Exchanging your life for this supreme power, isn't that a good deal?"

"Besides, those of you who haven't used the Evil Eye might not understand, but the Evil Eye can't be activated on its own. To use its power, you have to actively activate it. So, I just gave them a longsword, and it's they who use that longsword to hurt people or achieve their goals."

Paimon scratched his head at the soldier's words. For some reason, Paimon found that what the soldier said actually made some sense. It was really strange. Wait, if she remembered correctly, the soldier just said that he had put in a lot of effort to get the Eyehunting Order approved, right? Paimon exclaimed in shock as she realized what he meant.

"You're the one who orchestrated the Eye Hunt Order!"

Chapter 297 Eternity

"Oh? So you haven't discovered the Fatui behind the Eyehunter Order yet. Tsk, it seems I overestimated you, Traveler."

Unconcerned that he had let something slip, the soldier's tone remained sarcastic, which infuriated Paimon. Having traveled with Ying for so long, Paimon had never met such an obnoxious person.

Ying gritted her teeth. Although she knew the skirmisher was deliberately provoking her, she couldn't help but feel angry. "Damn it, just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm a pushover!" Ying gripped the Black Rock Longsword tightly, and wind elements swirled around her body.

"Wait a minute, are you kidding us? The Eye Hunt Order was clearly approved by General Raiden. How could you, an executive officer of the Fools, possibly have pulled strings behind the scenes?"

Perhaps because she had been fooled by the young master before, Paimon suddenly became a little more alert after shouting a few words. She keenly discovered a loophole: how could the Fools possibly interfere with the thoughts of the god General Thunder? When the skirmisher heard Paimon's questioning of him, he also calmly replied.

"Hehe, you underestimate us, the Fools. Although the outer side of Inazuma looks incredibly sturdy, the inner side is full of opportunities for us. With just a little effort, we can break through from the inside without anyone noticing."

"Eternity, the thing that Thor has always pursued, is incredibly sacred in her or Inatsumi's eyes, but in my opinion, eternity has a fatal weakness or flaw."

"Flaw? An eternal flaw? I never expected you to question the gods."

Su Bai repeated it in confusion, while also feeling a bit of admiration for Sanbing. After all, questioning the gods was not something an ordinary person would dare to do, let alone Sanbing being a woman from Inazuma.

Seemingly pleased with Su Bai's surprise, the soldier's tone became somewhat proud, and he explained the eternal flaw to Su Bai as if showing off.

"Eternity can stretch time to a very, very long time, which makes every point in between incredibly fragile."

"Just like those rebels, no matter how hard they try, even if they use the Evil Eye, it's all in vain. Like a bubble in water, they are brilliant, but they will be destroyed irreversibly soon."

"The more you lose, the more you want to get back; the more you want to get back, the more you struggle. Hahahaha, Su Bai, my friend, don't you think all of this is just a farcical comedy that makes people happy?"

Faced with the uncontrollable laughter of the stragglers, Ying really wanted to give this not-so-tall guy a good whack to calm him down. This guy was practically a madman, actually making such a terrible point about people who were pursuing their dreams.

"Scattered Soldier, let me ask you a question. Do you think there are more powerful demons or a few weak ordinary people in this world?"

"Oh? It seems you have your own thoughts, Su Bai. Although we have different positions, I'll still cooperate with you. Of course, there are more ordinary people."

The soldier crossed his arms, a hint of expectation in his eyes, an expectation that seemed like that of an elder to a junior. This made Su Bai quite unhappy. In terms of height, he was much taller than the soldier. However, now was clearly not the time to care about that. Su Bai suppressed his discomfort and said calmly.

"That's right. Then tell me why the powerful demon gods have remained silent all these years, while extremely fragile ordinary people have grown to this level?"

"It must be because of eternity, right?"

“That’s right. Ordinary people don’t grow old like us, but the world continues to prosper amidst the changing of generations. This is contrary to your so-called eternal flaw, but facts speak louder than words.”

Clap clap clap~ The soldier clapped his hands. The example Su Bai gave could indeed prove the flaws in his language. An indescribable feeling lingered in the soldier's heart. Relief, pride, anger? It seemed to be none of them, but it also seemed to be all of them.

"Then Su Bai, why don't you tell me what you understand eternity to be?"

"Hehe, me? I'm too young to understand what eternity is, but I can borrow the understanding of eternity from a person in power."

Faced with the question from the stragglers, Su Bai refused without even thinking. He was joking; he had never thought about eternity, and no one knew if that old woman Ying was hiding in the shadows. If his understanding of eternity differed from Ying's, then getting stabbed for that reason would be a truly undeserved disaster.

Composing himself and seeing the soldiers waiting with great interest, Su Bai didn't keep them in suspense any longer and spoke directly.

"That ruler never valued the so-called time. She once said that she would grow old one day, but Liyue Harbor would continue to prosper. She hoped that her name would live on, no longer representing her as a person, but becoming a symbol to pass on her deeds, so that she could transcend the limits of time and achieve eternity."

"Hmm, I feel like I've heard that phrase somewhere before."

Su Bai briefly revised Ning Guang's words and then recited them. Hearing Su Bai's understanding of eternity, Paimon scratched her head. For some reason, she felt that these words were very familiar.

Ying raised an eyebrow. She had previously thought Ningguang's words were nothing special, but now it seemed that Ningguang's understanding of eternity as an ordinary person was far superior to that of the high and mighty Thunder General. At least eternity did not mean isolation or stagnation.

"Hmm, the person who can say these words is also an extraordinary person. To comprehend the Eternity to this extent as an ordinary person, if this person were in Inazuma, perhaps it wouldn't be so easy for our Fatui to infiltrate Inazuma."

Su Bai's words resonated deeply with the soldiers. Back then, wasn't Gui Mu trying to gain General Lei Dian's recognition and make a name for himself in history through his own efforts? In a way, that could be considered a pursuit of eternity. Unfortunately, he fell on the road to pursuing eternity.

After calming himself down, and seeing the strong elemental fluctuations emanating from Su Bai, the skirmisher, who knew the ultimate goal of the Fools, said something that surprised Su Bai.

"Su Bai, if you really want to protect the people around you, then strive to become stronger. You don't have the strength to know too much right now. The Fools and the Winter Kingdom are far more complex than you imagine."

"If one day disaster strikes you and your friends die before your eyes, you will know the pain of being powerless. This is my final advice to you."

After saying that, the skirmisher pressed down his hat so that Su Bai couldn't see his face. Before Su Bai could ask for clarification, Ying, who was being protected behind Su Bai, suddenly rushed forward with the Black Rock Longsword. Ying's sudden attack not only startled Paimon, but also directly disrupted the rhythm of Su Bai's quiet formation.

"Damn it, I can't take it anymore, Riddler get out of Teyvat!"

Chapter 298 The Scattered Soldiers Leave

"Ying, don't be impulsive."

Feeling the talisman array around him gradually collapsing, Su Bai, on the verge of tears, grabbed Ying, who wanted to go forward and spar with the stragglers. What the hell was going on? He was planning to use the array to trap the stragglers and then capture them alive, but now Ying's impulsiveness had completely disrupted Su Bai's plan.

"Calm down, Ying, we're not going to confront him head-on yet. Wait, Ying, why do you have so much resentment from the demon gods on you?"

Su Bai felt a sharp pain in Ying's hand as he held hers. The moment Su Bai subconsciously let go, a surge of demonic resentment rushed into Ying's body. This sudden change made Ying feel uncomfortable, and a strange pain swept through her body.

"Ah, my head... Subaru, Paimon, be careful, something seems off around here... That skirmisher ambushed us!"

Ying gritted her teeth and stared at the scattered soldiers. Seeing the sinister smile on their faces, Ying's anger flared even higher. Sensing Ying's anger, the resentment of the surrounding demons seemed to have found a breakthrough point and surged wildly towards Ying.

"That's it, be angry, be angry, anger is the best food for the lingering demonic remnants in this Evil Eye Factory."

"Ying, control your emotions and don't get angry, otherwise you'll be in danger if you're haunted by the lingering will of the demon god!"

Su Bai couldn't care less about the lingering demonic energy clinging to Ying at this point. He shook Ying's shoulders, trying to calm her down, but Ying's anger, amplified countless times by the demonic energy, was not something that could be suppressed by conventional methods.

"Because anger attracted the lingering resentment of the demon god, and the lingering resentment of the demon god amplified the anger, tsk, it seems we've fallen into a vicious cycle. Su Bai, in this situation, do you want to save your traveler friend, or do you want to capture me?"

The soldier, certain that Su Bai would save the traveler first, stepped down from the platform and, as if he had inadvertently let slip something, suddenly said something.

"If I remember correctly, the exorcism spell should be able to remove the lingering demonic thoughts from a person. However, this spell is not an ordinary spell. It takes at least ten or twenty minutes to draw, and most people really can't draw it."

"You're right, Su Bai. I remember that Yae no Miko taught you how to draw this talisman. I'm not wrong, am I?"

The soldiers smiled at Su Bai. Paimon tugged at Su Bai's clothes with some concern. Looking at Ying, who was in pain, Su Bai took a deep breath and his immortal power surged. Strange patterns that Paimon couldn't understand appeared in mid-air.

Seeing Su Bai skillfully drawing the exorcism spell, the soldier did not attack the unsuspecting traveler lying on the ground. He simply watched Su Bai draw the talisman with interest, because he knew that the person he was waiting for had arrived, and even if he attacked the traveler now, it would not prevent the traveler from being rejected by this world.

"You scoundrel! How could you use such a despicable trap? Ugh, I'm so angry!"

"Oh? It seems this child is quite dissatisfied with my actions. Well then, it seems necessary to let this child know the law of this world that respects the strong."

A cold glint flashed in the skirmisher's eyes, which terrified Paimon. He had no choice but to hide behind Su Bai, cautiously peeking out to observe the approaching skirmisher.

"You, you, you, don't come any closer! Let me tell you, Paimon is incredibly powerful!"

"Hehe, little guy, you've really gotten more and more backward over the years. It's not a good habit to bully a little guy who has no fighting ability."

A bolt of lightning appeared beside Su Bai. Hearing the unique tone of the Eightfold Divine Child in his ear, Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Divine Child was usually unreliable, she was still very dependable when it came to important matters.

"Tsk, just like back then. Whenever I want to do something that might hurt Su Bai, you'll immediately show up. It's such an enviable protection."

"Hehe, it's just an elder protecting a younger person, nothing serious."

Yae no Miko felt uncomfortable as the surging demonic remnants around her shook her sleeves. Although these things didn't pose much of a threat to her, being in this environment for a long time was making even her hair lose its luster.

Seeing Yae no Miko's state, the stragglers secretly gathered their elemental power. Given the chance, they would definitely ambush Yae no Miko and take the Heart of God from her body.

"Little guy, you're not thinking of fighting me, are you?"

"So what if I've been discovered? I can sense that what I want is in you. As long as you give me what I want, I'll leave right now."

"Oh? You want this? Here you go, it's useless to me anyway."

Yae no Miko took out a chess piece-shaped object and threw it to the soldiers. When Su Bairen saw Yae no Miko just give the object to the soldiers like that, he was dumbfounded. Good heavens, my sister Miko, that is the heart of God, the heart of Thor's God, and you just gave it to the soldiers like that.

"Sister Shenzi, if I'm not mistaken, that thing should be the Heart of God, right?"

"That's right, I didn't expect Little Paimon to know him, that's really surprising."

Because of Su Bai, Paimon also started calling Yae no Miko "Sister Miko." Seeing how casually Yae no Miko gave the Heart of God to the scattered soldiers, Paimon forgot to struggle when Yae no Miko was torturing Paimon's face. These people don't take the Heart of God seriously anymore, it's the Heart of God, for crying out loud!

After checking that the Heart of God was indeed genuine, the Scatter Soldier was quite bewildered. He hadn't expected the Eightfold Divine Child to give him the Heart of God so easily, especially since it was a real Heart of God. For a moment, the Scatter Soldier stood there, unsure of what to do next.

"Hey, you little rascal over there, what are you standing there for? Get out of here! Do you expect me to ask you to leave?"

Yes, yes, yes, we should leave here immediately. It's not time to let our guard down yet. The soldier had just lifted his foot to leave when he realized that he seemed to have been following Yae no Miko's instructions. Could there be some ambush waiting for him at the exit?

Thinking of this, the suspicious soldier glanced at Yae no Miko, but he couldn't see anything wrong with Yae no Miko's face. Could it be that he was just being paranoid?

Perhaps confident in the secret passage dug by the Fools, the skirmisher decided to exit through it after a moment's thought. In a daze, he forgot his original plan to destroy the Evil Eye Factory. After diving into the passage, he left without looking back.

"Sister Shenzi, are you really just going to give the Heart of God to the Scattered Soldiers like that? That's the Heart of God! If that old woman Ying finds out, she'll definitely kill you."

"There's nothing I can do about it. I gave the Heart of God to the Scatterers to save the Traveler. If Shadow wants to cause trouble, she should go after the Traveler."

"Hey, wouldn't that put me and Ying in great danger?!"

Chapter 299 Apprentice Shrine Maiden

"Yae no Kami, please don't make things difficult for me. This traveler has helped me take Haigi Island, and I will definitely report the truth to the Shogun. She does not deserve to die."

"Oh dear, Sara, don't always have such a long face. You used to be so cheerful when you were little."

A hint of shyness flashed in Kujo Sara's eyes, but she quickly concealed it. She spoke with a mixture of embarrassment and anger to the frivolous pink-haired groomer in front of her.

"Yae-no-miya, don't interfere with me performing my duties!"

"Alright, alright, if you really want to take away Xiao Su Bai's close friend with whom he has a life-or-death bond, then go ahead and take him away. If Xiao Su Bai goes to the Sky Keep to demand someone and gets killed by General Thunder, then I can only pray for him."

After saying that, Yae no Miko turned to the side and revealed Ying, who was still unconscious behind her. Her attitude of "you can take her away as you please" made Paimon, who was standing to the side, so anxious that he almost choked on the snack in his mouth.

Kujo Sara did not take Ying away as Paimon had expected. Instead, she looked at Yae no Miko with a suspicious gaze. Yae no Miko narrowed her eyes, her face showing no extra expression.

Seeing that she couldn't find any clues from Yae no Miko, Kujo Sara sighed and turned to leave. If this traveler's relationship with Su Bai was truly good, then if she captured the traveler, Su Bai might actually go to the castle tower to demand her release. And then...
