Still playing traditional Genshin Impact?

He was talking with a dry mouth and drank several cups of tea in a row, while Xie Yan was so nauseated that he almost vomited.

But through the conversation, Xie Yan also understood what this old man meant. He wanted to use this as a bargaining chip to force the Fatui to pay compensation, so he did some ideological work on himself, asking him to slow down the investigation and do other work, leaving the interrogation to the Kujo family.

"For example, the matter of crystallized bone marrow... Alas, I never thought that Jia would collude with the Fatui. When Sala reported this to me, I felt very sorry." Kujo Takayuki sighed hypocritically, and he hinted, "But for the sake of the general, even if Jia made the mistake, we must investigate it thoroughly. This matter is left to you and Sala."

Investigator? What does that mean?

Xie Yan could see that this old guy had no intention of falling out with the Fatui, so why was he dealing with his allies?

"Wait, I understand. The nobles of Inazuma are not as stable as they seem. The Takashi family, a subordinate of the Kujo family, is always trying to drag the Kujo family into trouble. The Tenryo Bugyo and Kanjo Bugyo may not be so harmonious."

Although they were all cooperating with the Fatui, now that the Fatui's conspiracy has been exposed and the family has been caught, it is undoubtedly a good opportunity for Kujo Takayuki to annex the Kanjo Bugyo. By then, through means such as marriage, his second son Kujo Kamajui will turn the family into a puppet. This move can also divert Kujo Sara's attention from the price of grain in the city.

"As expected of an old fox, he is really amazing."

Fortunately, Xie Yan had facial paralysis and did not show any abnormality from beginning to end. He promised Kujo Takayuki that he would investigate it thoroughly.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Kujo Takayuki's old face was as bright as a chrysanthemum. When he saw the guest off, he made a promise to Xie Yan: "This time, I asked you to act together with Sala to cultivate your relationship... Hey, I know a little about you young people's affairs. I personally think that you and Sala are a perfect match. When the time is right, I will personally submit a petition to the general to grant you a marriage."

Although what the old man said sounded like the truth, Xie Yan quickly remembered that he had made big promises to Xiao Lu.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, Master Fengxing."

"No, no, I'm actually helping Sa Luo. Xie Yan, you may not know that Princess Shiraha of the Kamisato family has secretly asked people to find out a lot about you. She must also admire you as a young hero."

Huh? There's such a thing?

Before Xie Yan could react to the news about Linghua's wife, Kujo Takayuki's next words made him unable to hold back.

"Ahem, besides, although it's normal for a young man to be more romantic, but like today, it might cause some controversy." Kujo Takayuki pointed at his arm with a smile.

???

Xie Yan followed the line of sight and his pupils suddenly shrank.

Oh my god, how could it be Xiao Palace's bandage!

He was thinking about something before, and he just picked up the bandage and used it... Damn it, Xiaolu didn't even remind him! You have to take the blame for this!

Thinking of walking around the city with this bandage, Xie Yan's face turned red, which was rare for him, and he left in a hurry.

But he did not intend to really listen to Kujo Takayuki's words. After going out, he entered the interrogation dungeon on the pretext of handover. He wanted to see if Kujo Sara could get anything out of the Fatui. If he could get them to hold on to the Kingdom of Dongyu, the belief in gods would make all the Inazuma people spontaneously resist the Fatui, and Kujo Takayuki would not be able to stop them.

however.

"These two Fatui took all the responsibility on themselves, saying that everything was a personal act and had nothing to do with the lady or the Kingdom of Winter." Kujo Sara shook his head and sighed.

She could see that it would be useless to torture the two men, as they were already prepared to die.

Xie Yan was stunned for a moment: "Why don't you let me try?"

He thought that if the two men were intimidated by his force, it might be effective.

But unfortunately, until night fell, the two Fatui still answered in the same way.

Xie Yan looked at the lady with hidden mirror in front of him in confusion. She had long lost the elegance she had when she appeared today. Her clothes were tattered and there were traces of eggs and vegetable leaves on her face.

She was actually only a few years older than Xie Yan. Just now, Xie Yan hinted that he might use torture to force a confession from her. Although she looked frightened, she didn't say anything.

"Just like you want to protect Inazuma, we will not betray our country..." She suddenly sighed, "Unfortunately, I am too timid. In fact, before leaving the Kingdom of Winter, the [Servant] asked me if I needed poison, but I refused."

Xie Yan was silent. He suddenly remembered the hypocritical Kujo Takayuki. He laughed at himself for no reason and turned away.

.....

at the same time.

Kamisato Yashiki.

Putting the katana back to its place, Kamisato Ayaka slowly paced around the room.

After all, with the existence of the final ninja unit, the Kamisato family had already known the news when Xie Yan brought his men back to the city.

Even though she had always paid much attention to Xie Yan, Kamisato Ayaka still couldn't sit still after hearing about this.

There is no need to secretly inquire about information and confirm his position as before. Xie Yan has already proved everything with his actions. This is a companion whom she can entrust everything to - a companion who can save Inazuma.

"Thomas, go make some arrangements. I want to meet with Xie Yan tomorrow."

20 Wan Ye also did not sleep, holding a knife and walking in the courtyard

It was already late at night, and just as Shikanoin Heizo had said, there was no time to cook, so Xie Yan had no choice but to go to the cafeteria to get a few more cakes, and also take some for Manye.

Before arriving at the dungeon, he asked Wan Ye to go to his place and wait first, and he didn't know whether the other party had eaten.

“You clearly have EX-level cooking skills, but you’ve barely shown them off.” Xie Yan lamented halfway through the journey.

Although he inherited Shirou's cooking skills, cooking and cleaning up after eating alone is a hassle. Xie Yan would rather eat less than do extra housework.

But when he returned to his residence, Xie Yan found that Wan Ye had already taken his own bedding and went to sleep on the tatami. Xie Yan didn't want to disturb him, so he took the cake and slowly ate it in the courtyard outside.

He didn't know if it was because Kujo Takayuki fed him too many cakes today, or because of what he just heard from the Lady Cangjing, but Xie Yan felt that the cakes tasted bland.

However, he discovered halfway through that his injuries had healed. He couldn't help but secretly sigh at the bonus of his extraordinary physique, and removed the bandage.

At the moment of preparing to throw the bandage, Xie Yan hesitated, just like considering whether to draw from the new card pool.

If I smoke, it feels a bit perverted, but if I don’t smoke, it’s a pity.

Whatever! What does this cold-faced evil ghost pervert have to do with me, Xie Yan?

Xie Yan looked around guiltily, then put the bandage to his nose and smelled it.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but besides the smell of blood, he seemed to smell a... faint fragrance?

Damn, this is too perverted. Xie Yan quickly threw away the bandage.

He forced himself to enter the sage state and continue thinking about the problem.

Is Inazuma really hopeless?

No, it is Kujo Takayuki who is hopeless.

Xie Yan didn't know why he had come to this point. In his heart, interests even outweighed his belief in General Lei Dian. For this reason, he did not hesitate to let Inazuma fall into civil war and sell out national interests, paralyzing himself with the words "It doesn't matter, the general will take action."

But the root problem still lies with Lei Movie.

If he wants Inazuma to get back on track, it will be useless even if he kills Kujo Takayuki. Only Lei Dianying can do it... Of course, if he has the chance, he will definitely chop the old beast Kujo Takayuki into pieces.

But what about Lei Dianying? Will his friend who learned Manyo come to fight in front of the emperor and use this as an opportunity to call Lei Dianying?

It's true that with his current strength, if General Raiden slashes him with the output power in the plot, he can indeed take it. The game also provides a method on how to shake Ying's will after entering the Pure Land of One Heart. This plan is feasible, and Yae Shinto will definitely help.

But if there is any problem in any link along the way, he will be killed just like Manye's friend in the plot, and he doesn't just have to take the blow, the key is to win!

Oh my god, wait, Manye’s friend, that couldn’t be me, could it?

Xie Yan suddenly felt like Pang Tong had arrived at Luofengpo and took a big bite of the pancake.

Although from the perspective of personal interests, if Xie Yan wants to leave Inazuma's range and open a new map, he must challenge a god, but Xie Yan is not without choices. He can wait for Yingmei to arrive, or simply challenge Wendy.

When watching anime in the past, he would shout slogans such as “show you the enlightenment of mankind”, “even at the risk of his life, he must uphold the way of ninja”, and “Simalu, Simalu”. But when it really came to his turn, he would shout the classic slogan “I really have a cow”.

"I have an advantage that I didn't have before, but I am even more troubled. This is really..."

Not reconciled.

But he couldn't convince himself to carry out this high-risk plan, so he could only shift his attention elsewhere.

The first thing to do is to deal with the family affairs. Xie Yan needs to wait and see about this matter.

Then there is the issue of Infinite Sword Works... The price of Infinite Sword Works in the system mall is one billion Mora, and it cannot be paid in installments, but in fact, this skill is possessed by Shirou Emiya's character card, and Xie Yan has the opportunity to activate it by himself.

At this time, the moonlight was shining down, and Xie Yan suddenly became interested.

How about giving it a try?

"This body is made by the sword."

"The blood is like iron, and the heart is like glass."

A low voice sounded in the courtyard, but unfortunately, Xie Yan didn't feel anything. After all, the spell was just a means of psychological suggestion, and he just tried it with the thought of "what if".

But then Xie Yan thought about it and found that he could also enter a state of amplified projection effect through psychological suggestion. If successful, he could project four chrysanthemum shields.

But whether it was Red A or Shirou, the spell was too long. Xie Yan tried to shorten the syllables, and finally it simply became Liyue’s classic national quintessence: fuck.

If you add the I at the beginning of the red A, it becomes "我艹".

It is simple, but the syllables are too short to convey any feeling. It would be more convenient for Xie Yan to sing a zood song.

But after practicing for a while, Xie Yan found that when he chanted the English version of Red A and calmed down, he vaguely felt a sense of resonance.

"I am the bone of my sword."

Xie Yan seemed to be thinking about something, and he seized on this bit of resonance to continue chanting, but unfortunately he still made no progress after several rounds.

"Is it because the difference in the mental image and scenery is too great? Or is it because the blue is not enough?"

If this is the case, we can only wait for the system to take action.

Sighing and preparing to go back to sleep, Xie Yan suddenly heard footsteps behind him. Turning back, he saw it was Wan Ye.

Wan Ye has not gone to bed yet, and is walking in the courtyard with a sword in his hand?

That’s not right. Manye went to bed early.

But when Xie Yan saw Wan Ye's sleepy look, he suddenly realized that he must have woken him up.

"Sorry, I just thought of a special move."

"fine."

Manye sat down on the steps beside him, hugging her knees. He was as easy-going as ever.

"Did you have a good trip? I thought you were going to Liyue."

"I had originally planned to do so, but now that Inazuma is in trouble, I can't just sit back and watch."

Wan Ye hesitated for a moment and looked at Xie Yan.

"what happened?"

"I feel like you're very different from before. You used to be very confident in everything you did, but now... I can sense that you're confused. Is it because of the war?"

Xie Yan was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Wan Ye, what do you think is the root cause of the war?"

"Is it the Eye Hunting Order?"

"That's right. Although the Closure Order also has problems, it is also a reflection of the general's will. The Eye Hunting Order is pushed by someone behind the scenes."

Wan Ye has already noticed this today, and he is very helpless about it.

But...Manye doesn't think that this problem cannot be solved. The anger of the Inazuma people today proves that there is still hope.

"So, Xie Yan, is your confusion due to Tianling Fengxing?"

"No, I'm confused about myself and don't know what to do."

Looking at his friend who was smiling bitterly with helplessness, Wan Ye's heart was suddenly touched.

"Xie Yan, do you remember? You told me before that there are always creatures on earth who dare to face the power of thunder." Wan Ye's red eyes stared at him, "I believe that even if you can't see the direction clearly for a while, you will find the answer sooner or later."

He didn't want Xie Yan to challenge General Lei Dian, but he felt that Xie Yan, who had such courage, would not be hindered by any difficulties.

Feeling the encouragement from his friends, Xie Yan felt better, but it was too late now, so after chatting for a few more words, they went their separate ways.

"The answer..."

Xie Yan let out a breath. There is a saying that goes, when you toss a coin, you already have the answer in your mind.

He already had an idea, otherwise he would not have "unconsciously" formulated the plan to shake the shadow, but he just couldn't convince himself.

“If there’s a 30% chance of winning, I will pull Ying out of Yi Xin Pure Land.” Xie Yan said with emotion.

.....

the next day.

As usual, he got up early in the morning to practice archery. Originally, he planned to take Wan Ye to the training ground to take a look, but after all, he was not a member of Tenryo Bugyo, so in the end, Xie Yan went alone. After dinner, Wan Ye went to Inazuma Castle. He wanted to understand the situation himself.

It was nothing at first, but when Xie Yan put down his arrow and prepared to take a rest, he suddenly heard whispers in his ears, and many people's eyes were on him.

"You know what? Oh my god, Captain Xie Yan actually defeated the Fatui's executive officer head-on! Those Fatui were so arrogant all day long, but they finally got a beating!"

"It's what they deserve. Who dared to go after Lei Yingshu? If I were Captain Xie Yan, I would have chopped them to pieces yesterday."

"That's wrong. After all, they are diplomatic envoys and they still have to follow the formal procedures. But I heard yesterday that Captain Xie Yan interrogated the Lady Hidden Mirror until late at night. My goodness, the Lady Hidden Mirror's long white legs were absolutely amazing."
