The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 258 Transactions and Gifts

What should I do? The General is back... The plan has not yet been carried out, and the rumors and chaos on Kaigi Island have not yet subsided... Kamisato Ayaka's heart is in a mess, and she can't help but look at Yae Shinto, but she sees Yae Shinto sighing and shaking his head, and sadness and fear arise in her heart.

Is there nothing Lord Yae-miyaji can do?

This is how to do?
Kamisato Ayaka's expression kept changing. In her panic, she didn't even pay attention to where Ying and Paimon were, let alone ask about the gods from other worlds.

"Ayaka."

"...Ah! I'm here."

Kamisato Ayaka came back to her senses and first looked at Ying. Seeing that his face was calm and unperturbed, and even his eyes were closed, she then looked at Yae Shinto: "What do you want, Lord Palace Master?"

"Go back and tell Ayato that the Shogun wants to know what the Kamisato family has done since the Eye Hunting Order was issued. Ask him to write a report, listing every detail, including the purpose and thoughts behind doing these things."

Yae Shinko looked at her and stressed, "Remember, it was the Kamisato family who did something. Don't hide it, don't embellish it, and don't talk about other things and try to distance yourself from it."

"……what?"

Kamisato Ayaka was stunned and for a moment didn't understand what Yaezakami wanted to do.

Yaejinko didn't explain and changed the subject: "The general will be returning to Inazuma Castle soon. How is the reconstruction of the castle tower going?"

"This……"

Kamisato Ayaka hesitated a little and said, "When I set out, the people of the Tenryo Bugyo sealed off the castle tower, so I don't know much about the progress of the reconstruction work."

"It's okay, just pay more attention when you get back."

Yae Shinko smiled and said, "It's getting late, let's go back to Inazuma Castle as soon as possible, and don't forget to tell Ayato what I said."

Eh? Go back?

Kamisato Ayaka became more and more confused, her mind was in chaos, and she subconsciously felt that Yaezao Shenzi wanted to tell her something, but her messy mood hindered her thinking, making her unable to immediately discern the implied meaning of Yaezao Shenzi.

Kamisato Ayaka opened her lips, wanting to ask something, but then decided that the right thing to do was to not ask anything and return to Inazuma Castle immediately. After struggling for a few seconds, the girl finally gritted her teeth, decided to trust Yae Shinko and her own intuition, and left.

"Your hint is a little too obvious."

After Kamisato Ayaka left, Ying opened his eyes and glanced at Yae Kamiko: "And secretly providing supplies to the resistance forces on Kaigi Island, this is already a betrayal. Kamiko, why do you take care of the Kamisato family so much?"

"I just think it's not easy for Kamisato and his sister. They took on the heavy responsibility early on and supported each other. It's not easy to get to where they are today. We should give them a chance to correct their mistakes." Yae Kamiko smiled and said, "Besides, Linghua has good intentions, but she is a little young - young people always have to make a few mistakes before they grow up."

"Just that?" Ying obviously didn't believe it.

If it's not easy, there are many mortals who have a harder time than Kamisato. If the Son of God really wanted to do good, why did he choose Kamisato?

"Maybe I saw my past self in this pair of siblings?"

Yae Shinko thought for a moment and said, “Ying, you and I both took over the power at Inazuma’s most critical moment, and we encouraged and supported each other to get to where we are today.”

When she said this, she looked at Ying with a slightly resentful look and accused him, "Then a certain guy made a puppet, threw all the affairs to her, and hid in a pure land, not caring at all whether his friends were doing well or not, or whether they were bullied."

"Is there anyone who can bully you, Inazuma?"

"Of course there are no Inazuma, but there are more than just Inazuma in Teyvat."

"……what happened?"

Ying narrowed his eyes and looked serious.

"A lot of things happened. Even the Heart of God that you asked me to keep was snatched away." Yae Godson looked aggrieved. "But you refused to come out. I had no choice but to go to Liyue to let the wolf in."

Very good, she said that even if the Son of God was making trouble, he would not take such extreme measures just because he called her out! Sure enough, there was another hidden story!
Ying's face was filled with anger, and a tiny flash of lightning flashed in his purple eyes: "Tell me everything that happened during this period of time."

No matter who it is, it is impossible for them to bully Inazuma or the Son of God and then walk away without paying any price!

……

"Tian Feng, what do you think they are talking about?"

Ying glanced towards the reception room, obviously very curious.

Especially after seeing Kamisato Ayaka leave in a hurry, this curiosity became even stronger.

"Maybe Miss Fox is trying her best to fool her own god."

Chen Tianfeng thought about it and said, "No, it can't be said to be a trick. It should be trying to divert the attention of our own gods?"

You have to know that it was Inazuma who invited him to come to the Yae God, and gave Ying a big surprise. Even if the current situation is not as bad as Ying thought when he first met him, this "surprise" that made the god remember it so deeply, every time Ying thinks of it, his resentment towards the Yae God will increase.

Who knows, one day when the two of them are revisiting old grudges, they might suddenly remember this and Ying might get angry and kill the Son of God again.

So what Yae Kamiko has to do is to try her best to describe her own difficulties and the way out she has, so that the Kage who picked up the naginata out of anger would put it down out of soft-heartedness and guilt.

Chen Tianfeng explained in a low voice to Ying and Paimeng, then turned his gaze to the Divine Cherry Tree with branches full of red cherry blossoms. He moved his fingers, wanting to take this opportunity to "communicate" with the Divine Cherry Tree.

"Master Tianfeng, you can't do that."

"I haven't done anything yet."

Chen Tianfeng twitched the corner of his mouth and glanced at Hua Sanli who was following him all the time: "Why are you so nervous?"

"..."

Hua Sanli smiled and said nothing, but everything was implied.

Ying and Paimon were laughing quietly on the side. Before Ying and Yae Kamiko left, they specifically told Hanasari to keep an eye on Chen Tianfeng and not let the flowers and trees of the Naruto-taisha Shrine hurt him.

Well, that's a euphemism and not a euphemism.

"Okay, okay, it's okay if I don't touch the sacred cherry tree, right?"

Chen Tianfeng was helpless, but he was not in a hurry. He had only been in Inazuma for a few days, and they didn't know each other well enough. Even if he kept saying that he would not harm the sacred cherry tree, Ying and the others would not believe him, and would not easily agree to let him touch the sacred cherry tree.

But it doesn't matter, as the saying goes, time reveals a person's true character. Stay in Inazuma for a while longer, and get to know each other better. I believe that one day Ying will agree.

As Chen Tianfeng was thinking this, he saw Ying and Yae Shenzi walking towards him. The former had no expression on his face and seemed to be in a bad mood, while the latter... the latter could not get any useful information from his expression.

Ying stopped in front of Chen Tianfeng and said, "Tianfeng, I want to ask you for a favor... no, two favors."

"You said."

"Can you give me a portion of your flame, or a more powerful contaminant? I can trade it for my sword skills."

Ying looked extremely serious and said, "Zhidong and Inazuma have very good diplomatic relations. I want to give the Ice Queen a gift."

Chen Tianfeng: “…Ah?”
