Still playing traditional Genshin Impact?

It is worth mentioning that due to EX’s cooking skills, the snack stand’s business was booming that day. Yae Kamiko even bought some food and sent it to the castle tower. I don’t know if Lei Dianying got to eat it.

He really wanted to hear what Lei Dianying or General Lei Dian had to say about his cooking skills. Maybe he could mention it before the fight started, so that he could kill her 114514 times right at the start.

Now he is comparable to the Herrscher of Rice!

Roar, Julijialu!

"Forget it, I'll leave this matter to you to investigate." Xie Yan patted his shoulder.

Xiaolu also straightened his back with great energy. Being young, he had not realized that so-called flexible work actually meant that you could be called upon to work at three o'clock in the morning.

"Captain, what happened to you yesterday? I only know that you had a fight with a Fatui executive, but you seem to be in good condition now?"

Xie Yan glared at him and asked, "Do you know how to speak, kid?"

However, he knew that the other party actually didn't know the situation, and Xie Yan didn't want to make people worry for nothing, so he said lightly: "It's just a minor injury. Are you going out? I'll go out with you. We just happen to be going to the Thousand-Handed and Hundred-Eyed Statue."

While Xie Yan was talking, he pulled Xiaolu out, and Xiaolu asked about Wan Ye's situation.

"He said he was walking around Inazuma Castle. Don't worry, Manye is a man with ideas, and the Eye of God is well hidden."

After all, it was the period of the Eye Hunting Order, and except for people with official identities like Kujo Sara and Kamisato Ayaka, no one else dared to show off with the God's Eye in public. After the decline of the Manye family, he had been wandering outside, and not many people knew him.

"Ah, I don't know if my Eye of God will be taken away by the higher-ups one day." The deer sighed.

Although he is still valuable to Kujo Takayuki at present and the other party will not fall out with him, he will definitely not be able to escape if the Eye Hunting Order continues.

Come to think of it, I always feel like the boss is planning something big...

Actually, Shikanoin Heizo had vaguely guessed something, but he didn't dare to think about that aspect, so he could only do his best to support Xie Yan.

The two walked straight ahead and prepared to go out, but when passing by the training ground, Xie Yan saw Iwazaki Mitsutane, the swordsmanship instructor of Tenryo Fusei.

Iwazo Mitsutune was his swordsmanship teacher, but since he handed over the Eye of God, although he could still perform swordsmanship through muscle memory, he had forgotten the essence of swordsmanship and many things including his disciples. He often pondered on the hill of Kujo Jinya, and he did not expect to come to Inazuma Castle today.

"Teacher!" Xie Yan stepped forward and called him.

If it weren’t for what happened yesterday, Xie Yan would have gone to find him.

Yanzang Mitsutomu came back to his senses after hearing this: "Xie Yan, it's you, how is your swordsmanship training going recently?"

"Some time ago, I have mastered the Tengu Sho, and I was thinking of using it on you."

"Tengucha..."

Murmuring this familiar secret, Iwazaki Mitsutune seemed to remember something, but his mind seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, making him even more confused.

The departure of the Eye of God left him with only his previous notes to show his former obsession with the Iwazaki-ryu school, but all his disciples have now become bandits, and only Xie Yan is still in the army with this talent. Therefore, he asked him to practice Tengu Sho so that he could perform it in front of him, hoping to pursue his lost dream.

Xie Yan seemed to be thinking about something. He walked to the corner of the training ground and took out two wooden swords for training. "Teacher, why don't we have a sparring match? You've said before that warriors should not sit and talk, but use swords to discuss their hearts."

"Is it me who said that the heart should be judged by the sword? But that is what a warrior should do. Take it!"

Iwazaki Mitsutune seemed to remember something. After taking the sword, he took the initiative to slash at Xie Yan.

Xie Yan matched his rhythm, blocking the attack with his sword just right, and then guided him to use the opening sword style of the Iwazaki style.

In the past, this was actually what Iwazaki Mitsutune taught Xie Yan, but now it is the other way around.

The sounds of swords clashing against each other rang out one after another. Under the guidance of Xie Yan, Iwazaki Mitsutane gradually performed the Iwazaki style of swordsmanship through muscle memory.

He performed the familiar moves, and his originally dim and slightly empty eyes gradually became brighter, and the scene of instructing his disciples in martial arts in the past seemed to emerge in his mind.

Finally, he saw the extremely fast sword that could only be swung by a heart as pure as the pure. The bright sword light was like a stunning sight from the sky, occupying all his vision.

The sword stopped an inch in front of his eyes, but the purity of the sword just now still remained in Iwazaki Mitsutsu's eyes.

At this moment, although still affected by the Eye of God, he still remembered what he once insisted on.

"I want to pass on the Iwanzo-ryu forever..."

This is his expectation as the sect leader and the goal he has always adhered to.

but--

These words didn't just ring in his mind, Xie Yan also heard his wish.

This wish even broke through the automatic switch he had set up before and was transmitted to his mind.

"How could this happen? Wasn't Iwazura Mitsutomu's Eye of God surrendered? Why does he still have a wish..."

"No, that's not right. Don't people without the God's Eye have any wishes? They are also the people of Inazuma."

"I want to challenge Lei Dianying. From the beginning to the end, I don't want to win for the sake of winning. I just want her to see the current situation of Inazuma and the wishes of Inazuma people..."

Xie Yan's eyes suddenly became bright. Iwazaki Mitsumoto had found his target again, and Xie Yan also knew what the feeling he was missing was.

"I am the bone of my sword."

He silently chanted the spell in his heart, and following this feeling, he once again saw the world of his own mind.

But at this time, another sword appeared in the wilderness filled with countless swords. That was the sword that carried Iwazo Mitsutane's wish.

"Wishes...I need more wishes..."

Xie Yan opened his eyes again, and at the same time, a flash of thunder suddenly appeared in the clear sky.

"Why is there thunder suddenly?" Xiaolu looked up in surprise, and then looked at Xie Yan. He always felt that the other party had some special power.

"Boss, you..."

"You go investigate first. I'm going to go look for Kamisato Ayaka."

"Hey, aren't you going to the Thousand-armed and Hundred-eyed Statue?"

"No, I already know what to do next."

39 Rolled up

Although he really wanted to find Kamisato Ayaka immediately, Xie Yan found that it was not easy to see her.

It is true that my wife Ayaka often appears in social occasions and has a lot of experience in dealing with the public, but given the cultural background of Inazuma, she is, after all, the eldest daughter of the society, and under normal circumstances it is unlikely for her to go out shopping.

It’s not that you can’t show up in public, but you have to maintain the elegance of a lady from a noble family.

Therefore, unless the other party arranged it in advance, if Xie Yan wanted to see her, he had to be introduced by someone or go through the formal visiting procedure.

"Then I can only go to Kamisato House by myself."

It’s not impossible. Anyway, now that he has divine power to support the demon, it won’t take Xie Yan much time to fly over.

Thinking about himself landing in Kamisato House on a colorful cloud and coming in front of his wife Ayaka, he thought the picture was pretty good, and festive BGM automatically sounded in his mind.

Oh, damn, why does the scene of Zhu Bajie carrying his wife sound?

I changed the song, and the scene of the old turtle carrying the four masters and apprentices across the Tongtian River emerged in my mind again.

Xie Yan complained in his heart, but luckily, he saw Thomas when he was about to take off from Wuhu.

Thomas was standing at the door of Kinan Ryotei, leaning lazily against the pillar in front of the door, looking at the people passing by.

The reason why he was able to become a local tyrant despite his foreign appearance was not only because he had good emotional intelligence, but also because he observed a lot in his daily life.

As for interpersonal relationships, to put it bluntly, it is about making more friends and fewer enemies. When Thomas first came to Inazuma, he was supported by the Kamisato family, so he would also observe other residents of Inazuma and lend a helping hand when some of them encountered difficulties.

Although some people turned against him immediately after he turned over, most people would still remember this favor, and allowed Thomas to expand more resources for the Kamisato family.

"Come to think of it, it seems that Tianmu You was talking to someone about buying a precious sword today? That's strange, does the Tianmu family need to buy a sword from someone else? Why not just go to Xie Yan directly?"

Thomas scratched his head and thought about it carefully. He found that it was not impossible. After all, Tianmu Style was the only remaining one of the five lightning styles. However, Xie Yan, a "non-traditional swordsman", happened to appear and left Tianmu You far behind.

Not to mention the samurai, even ordinary residents know that Tianmu's sword-forging and swordsmanship do not require any special skills. They just rely on day-to-day hard work. But the problem is, Xie Yan is several years younger than Tianmu Youye. Doesn't this mean that Tianmu Youye is also being lazy?

If Thomas were in Tianmu Yuya's shoes, he would probably be unable to hold back and would have to think of various ways to improve his sword-forging skills.

This is probably what Liyue calls internal circulation?

When Thomas crossed the sea to Inazuma before, he heard from people on the same ship that Liyue was more involved in the Demon War than other places, and it was fortunate that there was the Geo Emperor. If it were someone else, it would not be able to control the situation.

Oh, by the way, Xie Yan is from Liyue, no wonder...

Even though he was complaining about Xie Yan, Thomas still respected him. It had nothing to do with his status, but he really admired his character. Besides, Kamisato Ayaka had also specifically instructed that more attention should be paid to the news related to Xie Yan. He thought for a moment and decided to follow up more. If the Thunder Five Legends made any negative news, it would not look good for the company's executive officer.

As he was thinking this, he suddenly noticed someone approaching.

"Thomas."

"Thank you, Captain Yan?"

Thomas was startled, like a student caught using his cell phone.

"Would you please not be so scared? This is embarrassing for me."

"Ahaha, there's nothing we can do. Captain Xie Yan is famous. I heard that Lord Kujo Sara captured six Nobushi from Kannazuka yesterday. They all call you the 'Death God Who Never Cries'."

"..."

Even with a paralyzed face, Xie Yan couldn't hold it in anymore.

He finally understood why many people would give their nicknames before a fight. It wasn't to show off, but just to prevent others from giving them random nicknames.

His requirements are not high now; a gentleman's sword will do.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. I want to meet Miss Kamisato. Is she in Kamisato's residence now?"

Thomas's laziness immediately disappeared. He straightened his back and asked seriously, "Captain Xie Yan, are you visiting in an official capacity or as a friend?"

If they are coming in an official capacity, then they are representing the Heavenly Leader, and the required etiquette and solemnity will be different.

"Of course, as a friend, but... this meeting is very important. We can go together, and I would also like to trouble you to inform them for me."

"I see. But I came out this time to bring some food back to the young lady and the master of the family. It should be ready soon."

As Thomas spoke, he turned his head and looked inside Kinan Ryotei.

Kujo Sara's investigation into food prices and related corruption issues in the city some time ago did have some effect, and business on the street has improved a lot.

"Mr. Thomas, there is one last portion of custom-made butter matsutake mushrooms left in your order. We have completed the preparation according to your previous instructions, but please forgive me if the taste is different from Mond."

"It's okay, just do your best."

Why does Inazuma have this dish?

Thomas explained, "The young lady likes foreign cuisine very much, but she has never had the opportunity. Kinan Ryotei does want to learn foreign cuisine, but unfortunately, the country is closed... Alas, I can only let them try to reproduce the recipe by oral instruction."

After he finished speaking, he quickly added: "Of course, if Captain Xie Yan is busy, we can just go back first. The head of the family and the young lady will understand."

"Well, this matter is indeed a bit urgent, but if that's the case... I'll do it."

Before Thomas could react to what Xie Yan meant, he saw him walk around the door and into the kitchen.

"Captain Xie Yan, wait..."

Thomas followed him in and opened his mouth in surprise, watching Xie Yan standing in the chef's seat, picking up the ingredients on the table and starting to work.

Not to mention him, even Kinami Anna next to him had a dull look in her eyes, as if she was doubting her life.

The customers were waiting too impatiently for the food, so you decided to make it yourself?

And this cooking skill...

It cannot be parsed, not even the actions.

Is this EX-level cooking?

Therefore, when she heard Xie Yan suddenly asked her if she had any wishes while she was halfway through cooking, she immediately expressed her wish to become his disciple and learn the skills.

But she quickly changed her mind and said, "No... This is a wish for the future. Right now, I just want the war to end soon so that everyone can live in peace and stability."

"That day will come soon."

Xie Yan said with a smile, and in his mental world, the second sword carrying the wish gradually took shape.

Activating the skill "One Pot and Two Bowls", Xie Yan put the dishes into the thermal box prepared by Thomas, and the two left together.

Thomas still hasn't recovered from the shock. It turns out that Xie Yan's cooking skills are even better than his knife skills. This skill alone is enough to make him the head chef in the imperial kitchen.

But thinking about how he suddenly asked Kinan Anna's wish, Thomas asked curiously: "Why did Captain Xie Yan ask that just now?"

"Nothing, I'm just asking for someone. This should be her responsibility." Xie Yan explained, and then asked back: "So, Thomas, what is your wish?"

"As for me, I don't actually have any lofty ideals. I just want to find my father and then devote the rest of my life to the Kamisato family."

"It will happen."

Xie Yan also felt Thomas's wish, but his faith in General Lei Dian was not deep, so it was not as easy for him to sense it as before.

In addition, asking everyone one by one is too slow and unrealistic. He needs to create an environment that can bring everyone together, so he comes to find Kamisato Ayaka, which is something only the club magistrate can do.
