Their commission was suspicious.

"That's right, that's right," Danzhu quickly agreed.
"Doctor, I think you should explain this engagement a bit more, instead of being so vague as before. Why did this casual affair escalate to marriage, and why is the person involved Yvette? I believe you can provide a satisfactory answer to these questions, Doctor," Fu Hua said.
"...Let me explain."
"We're listening."
"You might not believe it, but I've forgotten exactly what happened. I can't really explain the specifics, but it all came down to Yvette's reckless actions that led to this engagement. However, it's just an engagement between the River God and the War Angel Yvette. As long as I don't acknowledge that I'm the River God, this matter can be postponed indefinitely," Chen Luo said sincerely.
Chen Luo had truly forgotten what happened back then. After all, it had been a long time since then. In that time, Chen Luo had traveled to countless worlds, witnessed countless events, and completed countless missions. Who would remember what happened back then?
Although Chen Luo, as a Law Master of Consciousness, can store memories in his sea of consciousness, can't such a dark history be forgotten as completely as possible?
“Even if it can be postponed indefinitely, you’ve already acknowledged that it’s a fait accompli, right?” Yuyuko blinked and said innocently.
"...You're in cahoots with Yukari Yakumo, aren't you?"
"No matter what, Doctor, it's not good to use something as important as an engagement to achieve certain goals. Don't do it again next time," Fu Hua sighed, seeing Chen Luo's predicament.
Anyone with common sense can see that Chen Luo was indeed tricked by Yvette, but truth is often held by the minority, and not everyone in the bar is smart.
"There will absolutely not be a next time. Stop looking at me like that. Eat, drink, and have fun as usual," Chen Luo quickly said, sensing that he was receiving too much attention.
"Knock, knock, knock!" Suddenly, a knocking sound rang out on the door.
The knocking sound is normal, but the knocking sound in a bar is very unusual.
After all, bars never close their doors; anyone who wants to come in can just push the door open.
"Someone must need help. I'll go check it out. You guys talk first." After saying that, Chen Luo rushed towards the bar's entrance.
Generally, a knocking sound like this indicates either a previous guest has encountered an emergency and can't even turn the doorknob, or a new guest has arrived.
Either way, it's better than being publicly executed here.
That unlucky girl, Yvette, even went so far as to set up a self-destructing truck to trick Chen Luo.
Most importantly, Yvette ran into someone shortly after leaving the bar, and Chen Luo couldn't get her back to explain what she had just done and why.
So Chen Luo was destined to suffer this injustice in silence.
Fortunately, new customers have started coming to the bar.
……
"Little Yvette, you seem to be very happy. Did something happen?" A gentle woman, also blonde and somewhat similar in appearance to Yvette but with a very different temperament, asked Yvette curiously.
"It's nothing. Also, don't call me Little Yvette." Yvette's expression quickly returned to the blank look befitting a war angel.
"Hey, Yi, don't keep that tense face. Even though you are indeed the Angel of War and the presiding judge of the Inquisition, smiling more will help you win over more people," the blonde woman said.
“I don’t need popularity. War and fighting are what I’m good at, and what I should do.” Yvette shook her head.
Although Yvette is Chen Luo's puppet, a fact that cannot be changed, until Chen Luo issues any orders, Yvette will remain the War Angel and continue to perform her duties as the War Angel within the church.
“But Yvette’s smile was so beautiful just now. She must have remembered something happy. Could it be that you already have someone you like?” The blonde woman’s eyes lit up, and she quickly moved closer to Yvette.
“How could that be?” Yvette denied coldly.
"But I've seen your smile so many times before, even when you're reminiscing about your childhood, it's never brought out such a simple and pure smile to your face. You know that your sister is responsible for answering the prayers of believers and occasionally giving blessings to newlyweds. I've seen many smiles, but your smile just now is one of the purest among all the smiles I see every day."
“I’ve never seen a smile like that in all the time we’ve known each other. I’m a little envious, envious of the person who can make you smile like that. Tell me, do you have someone you like?” The blonde woman persisted.
“Nothing like that happened. I was just thinking about something.” Yvette continued to shake her head.
If it were anyone else, Yvette would have driven them away long ago. As the Church's Angel of War and the presiding judge of the Inquisition, Yvette has both the right and the power to do so.
But unfortunately, the person standing in front of him now is his older sister, the angelic gifted one of the church, the holy guardian angel.
Whether due to her status or her sisterly relationship, Yvette was powerless against her sister.
"Is that so? I don't believe it. Although I don't know why you smiled like that just now, the essence of that smile must have been something good. Little Yi, you have no idea how happy you were when you were smiling. Either you were remembering interesting people, or you were remembering the things that made you happiest; it has to be one of the two," the blonde woman said.
"..."
The smile was because of schadenfreude... If that's the reason, then it's a bit of both, right?
Yvette could foresee what would happen in the bar after she left.
Although she couldn't actually witness these things happen, Yvette felt that she was willing to do anything to cause Chen Luo some trouble.
Because she wanted to prevent Chen Luo from immediately summoning her to the bar to explain, Yvette deliberately stood in front of another person after leaving the bar, before Chen Luo could react.
Unless Chen Luo has some savior, the rhythm of the bar will inevitably be set off by a few reckless individuals.
Thinking of this, Yvette's face broke into a slightly smug smile.
"Click." The flash of the camera froze Yvette's smile on her face.
“Give it to me.” Yvette held out her hand to the blonde woman in front of her, her sister.
"No." The blonde woman hid her phone, which she had just used to take the picture, behind her back.
"Sister, give it to me."
“Calling me 'sister' won't help.” The blonde woman continued to back away.
"Snapped!"
The blonde woman, watching her sister's approaching steps with growing anxiety, was already determined to protect the photos on the phone at all costs.
But things didn't go as planned, and the next moment the blonde woman felt her hand go empty.
A blonde figure emerged from behind the blonde woman, then tossed the item in its hand to Yvette, which then transformed into a golden feather and was slowly absorbed into Yvette's body.
"...Angel feathers left behind by the angels can be used like this? Wait, Yvette, give me back my phone!" After a moment of surprise, the blonde woman tried to rush forward and snatch the phone back from Yvette's hand.
However, as a support and healing angel talent, the blonde woman was no match for Yvette. Yvette easily kept the blonde woman at bay with one hand.
Yvette stopped the blonde woman with one hand and skillfully unlocked her phone with the other, then saw the photo the blonde woman had just taken.
“…” Yvette, who had intended to delete the photo immediately, fell silent after seeing its contents.
He was laughing... and he really seemed happy.
Although it was just a gloating laugh, it was indeed rare.
"Little Yi, please, please let me keep this photo," the blonde woman pleaded.
"No."
"Then... shall I consider this my payment for keeping your secret?"
"Hmm, what secret? How come I don't know?" Yvette was taken aback.
"It's the secret that's been keeping you on edge ever since you returned to the church, the secret you only just felt relieved about. Others may not know you, but surely I do? And don't forget what my abilities are. As long as you return the photos to me, I won't reveal this secret, how about it?" The blonde woman smiled slyly.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Yvette said coldly.
"Hey!" But while Yvette was slightly distracted, the blonde woman took the opportunity to snatch the phone back from Yvette's hand.
This time, the blonde woman obediently held her phone in her arms.
"Alright, stop hiding. I won't take it from you this time. But don't do it again. I'm going back now." After saying that, Yvette walked towards her room on her own.
"Hmm, I'm really curious about what secret Xiao Yi is hiding. But never mind, if she doesn't want to tell me, she doesn't have to. After all, I'm the older sister, so naturally I have to keep my younger sister's secret. But that smile... I'm really curious. What kind of person or thing could make Xiao Yi smile like that?"
The blonde woman stood there for a full five minutes after Yvette left, looking somewhat distressed, until someone passed by and she finally left.
Chapter 921 Kars Who Stopped Thinking
"Knock knock knock!" Outside the bar, the knocking on the door rang out again, quite persistently.
Chen Luo was quite curious about what was happening outside the bar.
Chen Luo found it hard to imagine who had been knocking on the bar door since they saw it, instead of trying to push it open.
This is definitely a new guest.
Regular customers know how to push the door open. Even if someone is injured and unable to open the door, and has been knocking for so long without success, the person knocking would have been beaten to death long ago.
As for the new guests... it's unclear whether the things outside are like Hai Si, non-humanoid but possessing a certain level of intelligence.
Speaking of Haisi, I wonder how it's doing now.
Fine, let's see which unlucky kid is knocking on the door outside and refusing to come in, trying to pique Chen Luo's interest.
"jingle"
"???" When Chen Luo opened the bar door and the wind chimes rang, Chen Luo was also dumbfounded.
"This...is interstellar space?" Chen Luo looked at the surroundings in confusion.
Looking out from Chen Luo's current perspective, one can see countless stars.
Chen Luo's current location outside the bar is truly interstellar, outer space, and the universe.
Even without going outside, Chen Luo knew that the outside space was very cold.
Moreover, at a glance, Chen Luo could see the familiar blue planet and the moon.
This proves that the space Chen Luo is currently in is within the solar system.
Chen Luo didn't understand what had happened, but he was greatly shocked.
A knocking sound rang out, like a knocking on the door.
Chen Luo then remembered that he was there to pick up guests, so where were the guests?
Looking around, Chen Luo saw no guests, so he could only look down.
Then, Chen Luo saw an object making a sound by touching the air wall of the bar.
A person who has frozen over.
"Wow, isn't this outer space? Chen Luo, has your bar business finally expanded from a bar to outer space? Congratulations!" Yakumo Yukari leaned over.
The scene on Chen Luo's side is extremely attractive, at least to those who can see it.
"Alright, stop trying to get close. You lost the game, so Susanoo can't be lent to you." The moment Chen Luo spoke after Yakumo Yukari got close, he knew what Yakumo Yukari had come for.
"Tch." Yakumo Yukari curled her lip.
In the battle against Kaguya Houraisan's Seven Sages Summoning, Yukari Yakumo was slightly outmatched.
It can only be said that although Yukari Yakumo is strong enough in terms of strategy, Kaguya Houraisan's countless years of gaming experience is also very useful.
The Lost Home deck ultimately couldn't compare to the Lost Bamboo Forest deck.
Yukari Yakumo placed all the blame on Orange.
If Orange hadn't been so weak and hadn't lacked any truly amazing cards, the outcome of this Seven Saints Summoning would still be uncertain.
On one side, Yakumo Yukari and Yakumo Ran can form a synergy, while on the other side, Houraisan Kaguya, Yagokoro Eirin, and Inaba Tei can form a synergy.
Although Inaba Tei and Orange seem like mere accessories, even less useful than having Reisen Udongein Inaba, Inaba Tei is no ordinary person. He is said to be the longest-living youkai race in Gensokyo.
Moreover, the key point is that Inaba Tei's Lucky Card is practically a bug in this Seven Saints Summoning game. It's a game-breaking card, but not to the point of being banned.
[Ding! Mission complete]
The moment Chen Luo confirmed his idea, he also completed a task.
Actually, before this, Kaguya Houraisan and Yukari Yakumo had each issued a mission.
One wanted to borrow Susanoo, while the other did not want the other to borrow Susanoo.
If there were any difference in the rewards of the two commissions, Chen Luo would definitely choose the one with the higher reward. However, since both of them offer 100 Primogems as a reward, Chen Luo had them play the Seven Saints Summoning game instead.
Although Chen Luo also wanted to try to complete Kaguya Houraisan's mission and then lend Susanoo to Yukari Yakumo to see if he could complete Yukari Yakumo's mission, with so many people watching, it was best to do this kind of double-crossing only occasionally. If he did it too often, he might not be able to deceive anyone's requests in the future.
"Aren't you going to bring this guy in?" Yukari Yakumo said, pointing to the frozen creature that was blocked outside the bar by the invisible wall.
"Who is this guy again? Let me see him first. I'll decide whether to bring him in, after all, his entrance was quite unexpected." Chen Luo stroked his chin, looking at the creature in front of him.
The creature before me was a humanoid being, a humanoid being hugging its own body.
"Is this person still alive?" Yukari Yakumo looked at the creature in front of her with some surprise.
Even Yukari Yakumo wasn't quite sure whether what was in front of her was a living being or a mineral.
It's supposed to be a mineral, but it looks like a human.
As for living things, they're all frozen solid, they probably wouldn't survive.
