Still playing traditional Genshin Impact?

Nilu felt that this was a good sign, and perhaps she could ask the other party for advice on how to make the House of Fatwas change its mind. Otherwise, even if the Zubair Theater had all the necessary procedures, it would be demolished sooner or later in accordance with regulations.

"Mr. Scholar, you..."

"My name is Xie Yan, but I'm not a scholar."

"Eh..." Nilu's little face was full of surprise. She didn't expect the other party to answer like that. And the name Xie Yan always felt so familiar, as if she had heard her parents mention it.

While she was deep in thought, she saw a green-haired girl hurriedly come to the other person's side, called out another name, and looked at her with a somewhat wary look for some reason.

What was going on? Did I meet the "scumbag" that Mr. Zubair had warned me about? I heard that scumbags could date several girls at the same time, even if they were watching a Chinese opera together, they could go out to the bathroom and go shopping with other girls.

Nel remembered that she had read a similar Inazuma light novel before, which seemed to be called Date A Live.

Not only her, Nashida also bit her fingers and looked at Cole beside her curiously.

She looked at Xie Yan sandwiched between Ni Lu and Ke Lai, and always felt that this scene was very interesting, much more interesting than learning knowledge.

Is dealing with complex interpersonal relationships also a compulsory course for becoming an adult?

According to her observation and imitation of humans, she should take out the watermelon and eat it at this time.

But Xie Yan was not in a hurry. He was just a little surprised by Ke Lai's arrival, and then waved his hand generously: "Kele, you came at the right time."

Cole, who pouted slightly to express his dissatisfaction, was stunned, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth, "It seems that I came at the wrong time," were swallowed.

She ran over in such a hurry just now, and she was indeed happy to meet Xie Yan at first, but she soon turned to dissatisfaction... When they parted, Xie Yan specifically said that he was going to do some serious business, but he turned around and watched Ni Lu dancing in the Grand Bazaar?

But Xie Yan seemed to be rushing to answer the question and skipped the stage of her questioning in advance, as if he had experienced this situation many times before.

Why are you so skilled...

In the puzzled eyes of Little Kelai, Xie Yan explained the situation: "I came to the Grand Bazaar for a serious matter. Although the result was a little beyond my expectations, I still have something to ask Miss Nilu."

"Really? Mr. Shaflin?" Cole still looked skeptical.

Ni Lu scratched her head in confusion and couldn't help but said, "Mr. Scholar, didn't you say your name is Xie Yan?"

She still had a strong sense of justice. Seeing how Xie Yan had so skillfully fooled Ke Lai, she felt that she needed to make things clear.

Cole's gaze fell on Xie Yan again. She was not as superstitious about the void as the scholars of the Academy of Teachings. Seeing that Xie Yan did not deny it, she couldn't help but doubt the possibility.

Wait, thanks...

She suddenly remembered that the other party had previously vowed that "Xie Yan is upright and incorruptible and not interested in women." Was this self-praise?

And Kelai still remembered that he specifically said that he liked to sing and dance with girls at night. At that time, he guessed that he would come to see Nilu, and he really came...

Cole's eyes became more and more resentful, which made Nashida beside him curious about how Xie Yan would resolve it. She felt that Xie Yan's move just now was a brilliant move.

At this time, scholars from the House of the Faith pushed open the door of the Grand Bazaar and walked towards this side aggressively.

Nilu and other members of the Zubair Theater stopped what they were doing. The House of the Faith had ordered the Zubair Theater to stop performing several times, but this was the first time that a group of thirty mercenaries had come with them.

Xie Yan was also a little surprised. He remembered that Nilu's legendary mission mentioned that the House of the Order had been hostile to the Zubair Theater for a long time and had been asking them to modify the content of the performance. After many failed attempts to reach an agreement, the House of the Order was indeed prepared to intervene and had relevant legal support to deprive them of the right to perform in Xumi.

But the timeline is different now, and there is still a long time before the Flower Goddess’ Birthday Festival. Why is the environment of the Zubair Theater so bad?

Looking down at Nashida, she subconsciously shrank back when she saw the other party coming.

"He is the sage Kavaja of the Zhixue school..." Nashida lowered her head, and her liveliness suddenly turned into loss. "I don't know the plans of the Council of the Churches either. Only the sages of the Shengxue school and the Yinxue school care about me."

Xie Yan touched her little head and said, "They need your attention, not you. But since they came to my door, it's good. I don't have to go look for them myself."

The communication between the two actually seemed a bit weird. If you look closely, it was as if Xie Yan was talking to the air. Fortunately, everyone's attention was now shifted to the stage, so no one noticed this.

Taking the two apprentices onto the stage, Khawaja's face was gloomy, and he got straight to the point: "I am the Sage Khawaja. It seems that your performance for today has been completed? Well, in this case, there should be no regrets, right? According to the decree of Xumi, I declare that Zubair Theater is deprived of its performance qualifications. Sheikh Zubair, you can prepare to close the theater."

Khawaja originally didn't want to come in person, but he was scolded by Hazard early in the morning, which made him upset, so he simply brought people to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

As for Azar's mention of looking for the Gilded Brigade, he believes that it is far from that stage. To put it bluntly, the people in the Zubair Theater are just a group of civilians.

But soon, he understood why his men had failed to deal with them before. This group of people were unexpectedly tenacious.

Zubair was not afraid of power and said loudly: "Your Excellency, we have learned about the decree of the Fatwa Council. Even if our performance violates the requirements of the Fatwa Council, if you want to close the Zubair Theater, you must pass a vote at the meeting. We have not received any relevant written information!"

"According to the results of Void's deduction, as long as the Council of Ordinances opens the relevant agenda, the meeting will definitely pass it."

Nilu couldn't help but retort: ​​"But the meeting of the Order of the Church hasn't started yet, right? Besides, is the Void necessarily right?"

Kavaja frowned. Civilians are indeed civilians. How could the Void be wrong?

But the rebuttals of Nilu and others are indeed correct. After all, the House of Fatwas has not yet opened the agenda... This is complicated. Meetings are usually held to discuss a series of issues. How can they hold a separate meeting just because of the Zubair Theater? Now everyone is busy with the deification project.

"Azar is right. This group of people is indeed an obstacle to Xumi's development. There is so much knowledge in the void, but they don't study it and insist on doing some art. What's more, many of these people believe in the Little Auspicious Grass King..." Kavaja's eyes were deep.

In fact, this was the fundamental reason why they took action. The four sages who participated in the plan said that the new god was weak and incompetent, but the other party was their own god after all. Now that they had betrayed him, they were of course becoming more and more displeased when they saw that the people at the Zubair Theater were still planning to hold events.

This is a guilty conscience, and also a form of self-hypnosis: out of sight, out of mind.

Just as Khawaja was struggling over what to do, a man also dressed in scholar's attire walked up to him.

scholar?

Kawaja thought that the other party was here to help him. As a sage, he had a lot of resources and indicators, and every day people found ways to please him.

but--

Snapped!

Kawaja was unexpectedly slapped in the face. In horror, he felt a huge force crushing his face. He spun on the ground for several times like a top. Fortunately, the mercenary behind him supported him and he did not fall down.

"Great!" Xie Yan clenched his hands.

The pain and unspeakable shame continued to hit Khawaja. He was stunned for a moment, then he covered his face and roared, "How can you be so vulgar as to attack the sage in the City of Wisdom? Farid, Tahir, take him down!"

Snapped!

Under everyone's incredulous gazes, Xie Yan slapped him again and made him spin around a few times.

He controlled the strength very well, and the two slaps made Khawaja's face symmetrical and accurate.

Dixia muttered to herself: "His control over power is stronger than mine. How is it possible... is this guy really a scholar?"

She was not worried at all that these thirty-man mercenaries could pose a threat to such a master. Sure enough, the two of them were easily repelled as soon as they stepped forward.

But what’s interesting is that although the two men still had the strength to continue fighting, they tacitly maintained a knocked-down posture, pretending to be seriously injured and dying.

If Dixia hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she might have believed it.

Kavaja was panicked now. Seeing Xie Yan walking towards him, he couldn't help but take two steps back.

"What on earth are you trying to do? Attacking a sage. Do you know how serious a crime this is? Even according to Xumi's law, this is punishable by death!"

"Oh? Attacking a sage means you'll be put to death? What about imprisoning a god... Never mind. I'm too lazy to reason with you. You don't deserve to hear it."

Originally, Xie Yan really planned to use Hazard's identity as a wild card to criticize him first, and then pretend to be cool and slap him in the face according to the procedure, but seeing Carvaja's guilty and self-hypnotic look, Xie Yan couldn't help but take action directly.

He could say that if Vanasita had a little temper, these people would never have the chance to take advantage of him.

Xie Yan pressed forward step by step, and Kavaja had already retreated to the corner of the stage.

The audience was so shocked that even Cole and Nilu were unable to react.

Xumi is not as martial as Inazuma. The country's propaganda has always been about civilization, rationality, and wisdom. If there is anything that needs to be done, it will be handed over to the Gilded Brigade in the Desert. Faced with this straightforward act of violence, everyone even temporarily lost the ability to think. After all, this is an attack on a sage in public, not a street fight.

In everyone's cognition, sages are the wisest group of people in Xumi and the highest honor for scholars. But such a noble person was being beaten like a wild dog?

Xie Yan slapped him again, carefully controlling the strength to avoid knocking him unconscious. Then he grabbed his neck and said, "Don't rush to talk. Look at who I am. In Xumi City, no one dares to touch me!"

"Who could you be? Even if you are a great sage, you cannot escape the punishment of the law today!" Kawaja glanced at the gate of the Grand Bazaar, where many mercenaries of thirty men came upon hearing the news, which immediately gave him confidence.

But when his eyes fell on the other person, he couldn't help but wonder who this person was. He looked very rational, but he committed such a violent act that was suicidal. Hmm? Wait...

"The great sage's...father?" Kawaja widened his eyes. Is this even possible?

After the other party's identity information was transmitted from the void, the handsome young man in front of him suddenly became distorted and blurred in his eyes, and then turned into an old man with white hair and a youthful face.

This is a side effect of habitual use of the void. He will subconsciously choose to believe the contents of the void, and his brain will produce hallucinations. In the plot, Azar is also unable to tell whether Nashida is still in the Jingshan Palace.

Of course, Kavaja was hit a few times after all, and the pain made him quickly realize that something was wrong. The old man in front of him turned into a young man again.

But the information that emerged from the void terminal still showed that the other party was Azar's father. What was going on?

Judging from his age, this man is only in his twenties, while Azar is an old man of the same age as him. Could it be that the other party went to Liyue to practice immortal arts?

Kavaja still hadn't considered the possibility that the void might be wrong.

"Don't look anymore. I am Hazard's father. You don't have to stand there stupidly. Go call my son over. I want to have a good talk with him." Xie Yan slapped Khawaja in the face again, making his face symmetrical again.

That's so particular!

Kawaja stood there at a loss, unable to utter a harsh word. He had just said, "It's useless even if you are a great sage," but the other party suddenly became the great sage's father. If he said a few more words, the other party would become the little prince Jixiang.

However, at this time, the thirty-man mercenary group had already come to the two of them. The leading flag-bearing officer Ruksha had a stern look on his face and led his men to block in front of Khawaja, while the others held swords and formed a circle around Xie Yan.

"Sir, no matter who you are, according to the laws of Xumi City, attacking a sage is a serious crime. If you can cooperate, your punishment can be reduced." Ruksha frowned and spoke in a calm tone as much as possible.

He was not sure what was going on. He was at work and suddenly received a notification that a villain had attacked the sage. When he arrived at the scene, he found that the villain was actually the sage's father? How could he do this?

Although the Thirty-Man Group and the Order of the Lords have a long history of cooperation, they are ultimately just non-staff employees, and Ruksha dare not go too far unless he receives a message from above saying that the Void's intelligence is false.

Xie Yan glanced at him. He just wanted to help Nashida vent her anger without making things difficult for the workers. Moreover, after teaching Azar a lesson, Xie Yan would also reveal his true identity.

"I think you are a smart man. If you call my son now, you will have less pressure." Xie Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Unexpectedly, Ruksha shook his head and said, "No, Inazuma's diplomatic mission rushed to Xumi City by water. The Great Sage and Secretary Elhaisen are personally receiving Inazuma's craftsmen, so they can't come now."

46 The only one who can stop me is General Thunder

what?

Inazuma diplomatic mission?

Now it was Xie Yan's turn to think that he had heard it wrong, but seeing Ruksha's serious expression, he didn't know his true identity, so there was no need to lie about this matter.

But when did Inazuma send craftsmen to Sumire?

Xie Yan didn't understand, but he could probably guess that it was related to the Son of God.

Wait, the Son of God would not make unnecessary arrangements. In this case, the true identities of those craftsmen...

Son of God, you really understand me the best. I will take good care of you when I return to the Developer Conference!

Xie Yan looked around, gave Ke Lai a "calm down" look, and then returned his gaze to Ruksha: "My son is receiving the Inazuma delegation? Who is there? Forget it, no matter who they are, call them over together."

"Well, the great sage is now negotiating business with another country, and it's Inazuma, which is famous for its martial spirit. It's really inconvenient." Ruksha gave his men a look to retreat and hinted in a tactful tone.

My Lord, stop making trouble. Why are you calling the Inazuma people over? They just finished fighting. Do you want us to go over and get killed?

He was not as convinced as the scholar that seeing illusions in the void was an illusion, but at this moment, when he looked around, the people on and off the stage, including the common people who heard the noise and came to watch the excitement, all showed in the void that Xie Yan was the father of the great sage, so he could only treat Xie Yan as his real father.

But no matter how much trouble there is, let's see whether the great sage will act like a filial son to Xumi and shout "Goodbye, father, and my cowardice" and thank Yanlai for showing his fatherly love and filial piety, or announce that there is a malfunction in the void. Those are Xumi's own business, but if Inazuma is involved, things will get out of control.

"Sir, although you are of noble status, it is unreasonable to attack other sages. It will be good for all of us if you cooperate now." Ruksa persuaded earnestly, "Besides, the leader of the Inazuma diplomatic mission is the general of the shogunate army, Kujo Sara. She is also the current Tenryo Bugyo. She is really not someone we can call."

Sara is coming?

Xie Yan's heart moved. He had thought that it was the little deer that came, but he didn't expect that the Son of God would directly send Sala.

Seeing Xie Yan suddenly fall silent, Ruksha took a step forward with his knife.

Ke Lai in the audience couldn't help but hold her breath. No matter what Xie Yan's identity was, in her heart he was the bad guy who liked to tease her. But Xie Yan had just given her a hint, so she could only wait for the situation to change.

"Actually, I know you don't understand. After all, a great sage's father suddenly appeared and beat up another sage. And I don't look like someone who can be Azar's father." Xie Yan also took two steps forward. "But you also know that the information about the sage must have been analyzed and calculated by the void, and it can't be wrong. So, my actions today actually have a hidden reason."

After he said this, several scholars including Khawaja actually began to think about whether there was a deeper meaning behind Xie Yan's actions.

Could it be that the beating of Lord Khawaja by the Great Sage's father was actually a microcosm of the power struggle within the Faithful Court? Or was today's beating intended to attract the public's attention? Was it part of some important plan?

All the people dressed as scholars nodded thoughtfully, and even those who didn't figure it out would immediately pretend to be enlightened and say "So that's how it is" when they saw others nodding in realization.

There is no way. Everyone understands it. If I don’t understand it, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?

Damn, did Haizi's method of fooling the scholars of the Ministry of Education in the plot really work? Did these people really become stupid because of reading so much?

Xie Yan was speechless. He looked at Ruksha and said, "I do have something urgent to do and need to see Azar right away. Since you can't call the Inazuma delegation over, I'll go there myself. Is that okay?"

"This..." Ruksha looked embarrassed.

He had been the flag bearer for so many years, but this was the first time he encountered such a difficult problem.

Xie Yan's beating of the sage violated the Sumeru decree. Under normal circumstances, Ruksha's first words should be "You are breaking the law, come with me and surrender." If the other party resists, then "any evil will be brought to justice."

But now Xie Yan said that there was a hidden story behind this matter, and even Khawaja, who was beaten, seemed to agree with it. Ruksha didn't know whether this was arranged by the Fatwa Court.

Should we intervene or not?

At this moment, he suddenly remembered what his old boss Asfard said, "You are here to work, not to fight to the death," and made up his mind... Even the sage who was beaten felt that there was something hidden, so why should I interfere!
