Still playing traditional Genshin Impact?

Before Qianli finished speaking, Shinsuke suddenly walked out of the conference room, followed by Kujo Sara with a grim look on his face.

"Oh, young people nowadays, are they really willing to do anything to get promoted and make money? Sasaki and I have some grudges, can what he said be used as a confession? The Fatui are also obviously slandering an honest man like me."

Shinjie walked slowly between Xie Yan and Qianli, with his hands behind his back, and his seemingly cloudy eyes were extremely shrewd.

"So, I think your ideological awareness needs to be improved. Everyone knows my faith in the Shogun. Only Kujo Takayuki can compare with me." Shinsuke said with a wry smile, and in order to stop Kujo Sara, he even brought up Kujo Takayuki.

Xie Yan was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "You're right."

Indeed, he estimated that these two were the only people without faith in the entire Narukami Island.

He is in the late stage of cancer, so just go with what he says.

Kujo Sara was about to open his mouth to accuse him, but was stopped by Xie Yan.

He shook his head slightly to indicate that there was no need to say more.

It's normal for Shinsuke not to admit it. If he did, the Mingtian family would be completely overthrown.

Today's door-to-door questioning was only the first step for Kujo Takayuki. After all, how could it be possible to overthrow another magistrate in just a few words? Even General Raiden would be extremely cautious.

The two of them left.

Qianli looked at her father worriedly. She clearly saw that her father, who had always been wise, looked a little old and worried after Xie Yan left.

"Father, you..."

"Qianli, this matter has nothing to do with you. For the sake of the family, don't ask any more questions!"

Shinsuke suddenly said in a sharp voice.

Looking at Xie Yan's departing back and the flash of lightning in the sky, he had a vague premonition of his fate.

"A warrior bathed in lightning? It seems that the name of the Five Lightning Legends will soon be heard throughout Inazuma again." He sighed sadly.

42 Manye's Intelligence, the Thoughts of the Rebels

On the other side, Xie Yan and Kujo Sara returned to Tianling Bugyo.

Kujo Takayuki had been waiting for the two of them and had arranged people outside the door early on. As soon as the two of them came back, they were taken to the conference room.

After listening to Kujo Sara's report, Kujo Takayuki narrowed his eyes slightly, looking as if he had expected it.

Just as Xie Yan thought, this was just the first step. The art of political intrigue had always been linked together.

As a seasoned politician... yes, he had long forgotten the glory of being a warrior. He was just a reckless man. In his opinion, he had a great advantage at the moment, and the kid from the Kamizato family seemed to be unhappy with Kanjo Bugyo.

It can be said that with the dragon at our face, how can we lose?

Therefore, he was very kind to Jiutiao Sara and Xie Yan in front of him, and painted a big pie for each of them, encouraging them to keep working hard.

"Xie Yan, you must perform well in the martial arts competition tomorrow, so that I can recommend you to the general. It just so happens that you have made great contributions recently, and maybe you can be promoted two or three levels tomorrow."

Kujo Takayuki patted Xie Yan on the shoulder and left with a smile.

Xie Yan looked at him deeply. Just like what Shenjie said, these two people really had similar beliefs and could not feel anything.

"Well, I will give you a surprise tomorrow as well, Master Fengxing."

Afterwards, Xie Yan and Kujo Sara walked out of the gate together.

The two wasted a lot of time in the Kanjo Bugyofu. It was already close to evening. When they went out, they saw that the streets outside had become much busier. The staff of the community bugyo were laying out the items needed for the festival.

They have been busy since morning until now. Although the on-site layout is not as exquisite as before, the general framework has been built.

There have been some signs of recovery in Inazuma Castle recently, and many vendors have come to the street with their prepared goods.

"This is what Inazuma Castle should look like." Kujo Sara said with emotion.

Although she has always put work first, she often patrols the city and is deeply moved by the sight of the lights and decorations and the endless stream of people.

Seeing the usually cold Kujo Sara's expression, Xie Yan couldn't help but say, "Sara, will you also come to participate in the festival tonight?"

"I..." Kujo Sara subconsciously wanted to refuse. She was not the type to like participating in festivals, but when she heard Xie Yan's "also", she changed her words and said, "I will come, but I have to organize the evidence to be reported to the general tomorrow."

I, Kujo Sara, have worked hard for so many years, what's wrong with enjoying myself?

"Well, I'll wait for you at the prayer ema."

Xie Yan gave some instructions, and then the two of them separated.

After finishing the work of the Kanjo Bugyo, he had no other work on hand. The next step was to wait for the festival to officially begin and prepare for the challenge tomorrow morning.

The rare leisure time allowed Xie Yan's tense nerves to relax a lot, and the negative emotions that had accumulated from Shinsuke and Kujo Takayuki were also swept away. He wandered aimlessly on the street.

"It's been a while since I took a walk like this. The last time I saw fireworks on the beach was when I was with Xiao Gong."

Looking up at the gradually darkening sky, he seemed to be here at that time, and the moment when the fireworks rose into the sky brilliantly seemed to still remain in his heart.

'A moment and eternity...' Xie Yan thought thoughtfully.

After staying at the beach for a while, the streets gradually became lively. Xie Yan also saw Xiao Gong who was buying street snacks with her father, and Kamisato Ayaka who was chatting cordially with the people.

Just as I was about to go find them, I suddenly smelled a familiar scent coming from a distance.

"Manyou?"

It was indeed Wan Ye. He came back from outside the city, exhausted and landed in front of Xie Yan using his wings of wind.

As the holder of the Eye of the God of Wind, he can really fly everywhere when using the Wings of Wind. He has strong maneuverability and can go wherever he wants...but the wind system is a bit difficult to use, and his height is also a pity. The tallest one at the moment is actually as tall as Qin Hip.

"Your breath seems to have changed a little." Wan Ye moved closer to Xie Yan and sniffed subconsciously.

This made Xie Yan take two steps back with a strange look on his face. How could this be like "you smell like her perfume".

Nantong, retreat!

Manye, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person! I treat you as a brother, but you actually...

Wan Ye also reacted quickly and coughed awkwardly twice: "Ahem, sorry, I was a little surprised for a moment, because human aura rarely changes like this, it's like... it's been sublimated."

"The main thing is to think clearly about the answer." Xie Yan continued to stroll along the beach with Wan Ye.

However, he felt that there were already enough flags, so he did not say "that blow may not be out of reach", otherwise the battle would not be able to continue.

But Wan Ye had known him for a long time, so how could he not see what Xie Yan was thinking?

"Are you going to advise to cancel the Eye Hunting Order? But that is the order of the General. Could it be..."

"Believe me."

Xie Yan turned his head and looked at him seriously.

There is no need for long-winded words between good brothers; a short sentence is enough. He believes that Manye can feel his thoughts.

Wan Ye stood there in silence for a while, then suddenly nodded and said, "Yes."

"By the way, where did you go before?"

"I walked around the city and heard a kid named Changci talking about the situation on Baying Island... I thought my ability to listen to the wind and see the clouds would be helpful in finding the talisman, so I went to Baying Island to restore the talisman."

Manye's Isshinden has already walked out of his own path. He has reached a state similar to the unity of man and nature, and his perception of the environment is extremely obvious.

"Then what's the result?"

"I found three after a lot of effort, but two of the talismans were taken away. I followed the scent all the way to the island, which is heavily guarded."

Ok?

Xie Yan was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted: If the Fatui's traitor wanted to cause internal strife among Inazuma, how could he place the talismans around for people to find like in a game? This was the logical approach, and it could also serve as an important bargaining chip.

But the rebels are heavily guarding...

Wan Ye explained, "I lurked for a while and roughly figured out the situation. Nathan, who claimed to be from Mond, was suspicious. I suspected that he was from the Fatui, but after he led a team to destroy the talisman, he was ordered by Xinhai of the Coral Palace to be imprisoned in the dungeon and await punishment."

"In other words, the talisman is now in the hands of Coral Palace Xinhai and has become her bargaining chip?"

"Yes, she should use these two talismans to negotiate with you. When I was on the island, I heard that they seemed to be about to take the initiative to launch an attack."

Xie Yan frowned slightly. He realized the last time they met that Xin Hai was not the naive girl in the game.

Nathan's actions might have been beyond her expectations, but now that she had the talisman, there was no reason to return it.

"Let's talk about this later. Today is a festival to celebrate the restoration of the Thunder Cherry Tree. Inazuma has regained some energy, so let's take a good walk first."

Xie Yan patted Wan Ye’s shoulder. This guy was mature beyond his years and sometimes thought more than Xie Yan.

43 Infinity Blade

Wan Ye looked stunned, then immediately followed Xie Yan and started shopping.

Inazuma has always had the custom of holding festivals, which never stopped even during the lockdown, so the framework could be built in just one day. The residents of Inazuma also have a special liking for festivals, and along the way, everyone prepared yukatas, but Manye and Xie Yan seemed a little out of place.

"Oh, I forgot to change my clothes..."

"Forget it, now that we're here, it would be too much trouble to go back."

Xie Yan and Wan Ye walked towards the direction where Kamisato Ayaka was, passing by many stalls selling fish and rings on the way. However, since both of them had not eaten, they both ended up setting their eyes on the snack stalls.

but--

Xie Yan couldn't hold back after taking a bite, so he asked the boss to make room for the grill himself.

Although the ingredients are the same, the ingredients in his hands seem to have evolved. Before long, the tempting aroma of the grilled skewers attracted countless customers to come, and they felt that the meat was firm and delicious, leaving a lingering fragrance on their lips and teeth.

Xie Yan was a little absorbed in the barbecuing, while Wan Ye was pulled by the snack stand owner to collect money together. If Xie Yan had not seen Kamisato Ayaka also queuing, he would probably have stayed a little longer.

In the end, the boss insisted that he didn't have to pay, so Xie Yan grilled some food for the girls and left with Wan Ye.

"Ayaka, this is for you." He handed a skewer of grilled meat to Kamisato Ayaka.

The girl looked up at Wan Ye who was eating. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Wan Ye and Xie Yan had the cutest height difference...

She was stunned for a moment before taking the barbecue, but as soon as she took a bite, her eyes were filled with happiness. Xie Yan's cooking skills were beyond her expectations.

No, I have to buy a copy of "I Am a Son-in-law" when I get home, maybe I can get some inspiration from it.

Afterwards, Xie Yan introduced the two to each other...Although Manye was a member of Isshin Chuan, he had been traveling outside and had no interactions with Kamisato Ayaka.

But after eating, Manye suddenly paused and left on the pretext of going to find Kanoin Heizo.

In fact, he smelled something bad.

Xie Yan didn't react at first. He walked side by side with Kamisato Ayaka among the stalls and came to the prayer ema. It was not until he saw Xiao Gong suddenly running towards him that he realized the problem.

Sure enough, when Xiao Gong saw Xie Yan and Kamisato Ayaka talking and laughing, and walking side by side intimately while eating, he suddenly felt a little sour in his heart and stood there without saying a word.

Kamisato Ayaka looked over subconsciously. The two of them were actually very familiar with each other and had communicated in many activities. They could be considered good friends, but at this moment they were caught in a weird atmosphere.

But for some reason he felt reluctant to admit to her that Xie Yan and he were just ordinary friends.

"It seems that I came at the wrong time." Xiao Gong smiled awkwardly, but still walked towards Xie Yan.

After all, I am very familiar with Kamisato Ayaka, and we were just shopping together, so there is no need to be angry.

But at this moment, Xie Yan's brain entered a high-speed operation state. He cleverly stretched out his palm to Xiao Gong: "No, you came at the right time."

He thought he could enjoy the feeling of being hugged by women on both sides, but at this moment, another voice sounded behind him.

"What about me? Is it the right time for me to come?" A purple-haired lady wearing a Tengu mask appeared behind him. Just by looking at the black slime, one could tell that she was Kujo Sara.

But from her tone, not to mention Xie Yan, even Kamisato Ayaka could sense a strong sense of sourness.

Just at this moment, a loud bang was heard in the sky. Xie Yan quickly pointed at the night sky and said, "Look at the fireworks! The fireworks are coming!"

The fireworks rose into the night sky with a bang, blooming with brilliant brilliance, attracting everyone's attention, and everyone looked up at the dazzling fireworks.

Xie Yan quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He really couldn't be a scholar.

Xiao Gong looked at his specially made fireworks and everyone who was immersed in the gorgeous fireworks, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Kujo Sara suddenly said, "Xiao Gong, why do you like fireworks so much? Although they are beautiful, they only last for a moment."

"Ah, because the festival creates touching stories every moment, and people who get to know each other under the fireworks slowly grow, mature, and eventually grow old... Although fireworks are not eternal, the wonderful emotions hidden behind the fireworks can go to eternity with Inazuma." Xiao Gong explained sincerely, this is the eternity she is pursuing.

Kujo Sara felt deeply touched. Is this also eternity? Compared with the empty eternity of the general, this seems to be... She didn't dare to think about it further, but she was indeed shaken.

As the fireworks bloomed, the atmosphere of the festival reached its climax, and people came to pray at the Ema to make their wishes.

This also means that Xie Yan's work has officially begun. He listens carefully to everyone's wishes... These wishes include big things like ending the war and driving away the Fatui, as well as expectations for his own family. But no matter what, even without the Eye of God, this is the purest wish.

Xie Yan's mental world began to undergo earth-shaking changes. Swords carrying wishes appeared in the wilderness. His mind seemed to soar into the sky and he saw General Thunder who was standing in the castle tower, overlooking the world.

She sat cross-legged at the table, ignoring the gorgeous fireworks outside the window.

"This body is the most extraordinary body, and it should hold the greatest power in the world."

"This body promises my subjects a dream, which is eternal and unchanging for thousands of generations."
