Venti: Beelzebul, You Mustn't Stare Directly at Bai Ye!

The news that Ayaka Kamisato Ayaka requested the Shogun was relayed into the Tenshukaku by the Otsukemono.

Standing outside waiting, she saw her brother also come over.

Kamisato Ayato's eyes held a questioning look.

How was your trip to Liyue?

"Brother, I gained a lot from this trip to Liyue."

Ayaka replied earnestly.

At the same time, the things he had seen in Liyue kept flashing through his mind.

Scenery, culture, Hu Tao's friends, and the Bai Ye...

Recalling that enchanting dream, her expression became slightly uneasy.

At first, seeing his younger sister Yi's expression Kamisato Ayato nodded slightly in approval. Indeed, sending her to Liyue this time was the right decision. This trip had broadened her horizons considerably, as she had learned many things.

It also smacked quite a few friends...

As Ayaka was thinking about Hu Tao and the others, Ayato was about to encourage her to stay connected with her friends when he noticed that Ayaka's expression was off.

This is what a young girl in the throes of first love looks like!

Is someone planning to kidnap their own sister?

Ayato suddenly asked, without warning:

"What's that person's name? How old is he?"

"Fourteen years old... Ah!"

Ayaka instinctively stammered in response. However, she realized her mistake halfway through her sentence and quickly shut up.

Looking up, she noticed that her older brother's expression was very strange.

"Brother..."

Just as Ayaka was about to say something, Ayato patted her on the shoulder.

"Sister, what I'm trying to say is that we can't rush things. Whether in Liyue or Inazuma, there's a complete set of laws."

At first, he was worried that someone was trying to kidnap his younger sister, but now Ayato is worried that his younger sister might do something illegal.

Fourteen years old!

Are you even human?!

This was the first time Ayato had discovered that his younger sister had a crush on young boys.

"Brother—"

Ayaka understood her brother's meaning, and a shy look appeared on her face.

Just then,

Raiden Shogun's orders have arrived.

"Head of the Kamisato Clan, Miss Kamisato, the Shogun summons you to an audience."

"Yes." Ayaka nodded.

She quickly glanced at her older brother to compose herself.

Then she slowly walked towards the Tenshukaku.

Kamisato Ayato followed beside her.

Along the way, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and prepared to think about how to report to the Shogun.

Kamisato Ayato looked at Ayaka with encouraging eyes.

Upon entering the hall, Raiden Shogun sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to rest.

"The Shogun."

Ayaka respectfully.

Ayato also bowed to Raiden Shogun.

"Hmm." Raiden Shogun opened his eyes, his cold gaze carrying a sharp edge that made Ayaka feel immense pressure. "You came from Liyue."

"Yes, I have returned from Liyue." Ayaka nodded.

"So what are the results of the investigation into this matter?" Raiden Shogun asked again.

"The Shogun, is there really someone in Liyue who can perfectly purify the remnants of the Gods?"

Ayaka reported to Raiden Shogun.

As she said this, she took out evidence from her pocket.

"The Shogun, this is a mechanism in Liyue that plays content. I hope you will allow me to present it to you."

"Um."

Raiden Shogun gestured for Ayaka to step forward.

Kamisato Ayaka slowly walked up and adjusted the mechanism in her hand, presenting it to Raiden Shogun.

Raiden Shogun didn't care about the odd or even number of videos played by the mechanism; she was simply waiting for the technology to purify the Gods.

Watching silently.

A handsome young man appeared in the video, gently waving his hand over the aura of the Gods. Soon, all of this Gods aura entered his body. Raiden Shogun's eyesight was sharp enough to see that this Gods aura only enhanced the person in the video, having no other effect.

There really is someone who can perfectly resolve the Archon Residue...

Raiden Shogun watched the video and, no matter how much she didn't want to believe it, she had to admit it was true.

The situation that even those Gods, these the Seven the mortal realm, couldn't resolve, was nothing more than a piece of cake in the hands of the boy in the video.

Although the Gods aura in the video differs greatly from the evil spirit on Yashiori Island, their essence is not so different. If the young man can solve the problem inside, he can also solve the evil spirit.

She didn't handle the message herself; instead, she passed it on to Sanctum of Euthymia.

The space was gloomy and dark, with stone pillars surrounding a plaza. A dark red light permeated the entire space, and the surroundings were nothingness.

This is the Sanctum of Euthymia that Raiden Ei have created.

At this moment, in the Sanctum of Euthymia, Raiden Ei is resting with his eyes closed.

Wearing a purple kimono, her delicate face appeared even more indifferent than that of the Raiden Shogun outside.

She rarely manages the affairs of the family and rarely interacts with the outside world.

Only after Raiden Shogun's message reached the Sanctum of Euthymia did she react.

The ability to purify the Archon Residue...

She began to think.

What should we do next?

Raiden Shogun asked Raiden Ei.

"Let's invite him over," Raiden Ei said to Raiden Shogun after a moment's thought.

Although the Sakoku Decree, specific issues still need to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

This is a matter of good for the people, and he has to do it.

"Um,"

Raiden Shogun's thoughts and Raiden Ei's thoughts coincided.

With his thoughts drawn from the Sanctum of Euthymia, Raiden Shogun looked at the two siblings Kamisato Ayaka and Kamisato Ayato.

"Go and invite him over."

She spoke.

Kamisato Ayato knelt on one knee and pleaded with Raiden Shogun: "The Shogun, the boy in the video has an unusual status in Liyue. He is the last messenger appointed by the Rex Lapis, the god of Liyue, before his passing. Please invite him over. I would be grateful if you could write a letter of invitation by hand, the Shogun."

Bai Ye's status is completely equal to that of the leaders like Kamisato Ayato, so normal interactions are fine. However, since we're asking him to come and resolve this matter, we need to show enough sincerity to ensure he'll definitely come.

At the same time, Ayato was also thinking about the other two heads of the Inazuma family.

At this time, having a letter from the Shogun would be very necessary.

"Um."

Raiden Shogun thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"I'll write a letter later, and you can deliver it to Liyue."

Finally, she pointed to Kamisato Ayaka.

One should not have two masters, Kamisato Ayaka's identity is also suitable.

"Uh-huh."

Kamisato Ayaka nodded repeatedly.

She was still very happy to be able to visit Liyue again.

Kamisato Ayato was a little worried seeing his younger sister like this.

"I remember there's a really good lawyer in Liyue. Should we send the ninja from the Shippou who went with Ayaka to get to know her first?" Kamisato Ayato thought to herself.

That boy was just too young...

He was always worried that his younger sister would commit a crime.

Raiden Shogun wrote a letter and gave it to Kamisato Ayaka.

He gestured for them to leave.

Kamisato Ayaka and Kamisato Ayato left the Tenshukaku. Kamisato Ayato said to his younger sister, "Go and rest for a few days first, and then set off again. This time, take Thoma with you and take care of the invitation."

"Yes, brother, I will remember."

Ayaka nodded earnestly.

"Then this handwritten letter..."

"Yes, you're carrying a talisman. But don't tell anyone else yet."

Ayato narrowed his eyes.

Ayaka Zhiyu: Her brother is planning to trick people again.

While the two siblings were talking, below the Tenshukaku, a drunken bard was trying to figure out how to bypass the guards of the Tenshukaku.

Within the Sanctum of Euthymia

Having made his decision, Raiden Ei is going to continue resting.

The Anemo Element wafts in.

She frowned slightly.

Why is that guy here?

The entire Inazuma was under her surveillance, so she easily noticed the arrival of that drunkard.

"Let's go see what he's up to,"

Raiden Ei said to Raiden Shogun in the movie.

As fellow Seven Archons, and Venti being a veteran Seven Archons, it would be more appropriate for her to personally receive them.

"Um."

Raiden Shogun Thunder nodded.

Immediately,

Her eyes changed instantly.

Raiden Ei have appeared in the public eye.

She stood up and walked towards the outside.

Right now, the guards have surrounded Venti near the Tenshukaku.

Who are you?

"I... I'm just a bard from Mondstadt," Venti said with a grin, raising her hand.

"Mondstadt bard, are you plotting something by breaking into the Shogun's Tenshukaku in the middle of the night?"

"No, absolutely not," Venti quickly waved her hand. "I came here to visit my friend."

"Seeing friends? Do you think anyone would believe that?"

The guard looked at Venti as if she were an idiot.

"Wait, speak properly, don't use a knife..."

Seeing Venti's performance, Raiden Ei really didn't want to admit that he was one of the Seven Archons, just like himself. Moreover, he was a veteran deity whose abilities and powers, aside from pure physical strength, might surpass his own.

At the gathering of the Seven Archons, his position was second only to the Rex Lapis of Liyue. As for himself, he was relegated to the lowest seat at that time.

"He came to see me," Raiden Ei Otsukemono.

"Huh? The Shogun!?"

When Raiden Ei said that, the Otsukemono was extremely surprised.

What's going on here?!

However, they were all Raiden Shogun 'Raiden Shogun personal guards, and they obeyed his orders without question. After receiving Raiden Shogun's orders, they withdrew.

Venti breathed a sigh of relief as she watched them leave.

"Luckily you came here, otherwise I think I would have been killed by them. These guards are really vicious..."

He patted his chest, making a lingering fear expression.

Raiden Ei ignored him and headed towards the Tenshukaku.

Venti walked beside her and said familiarly, "Beelzebul, I wonder if you have any good drinks in your Tenshukaku? I'm really tired from sneaking in here so late at night, I need to have some drinks to replenish my energy."

Raiden Ei still ignored Venti.

Upon reaching the Tenshukaku, Raiden Ei sat down.

"Speak, what brings you to Inazuma?"

"I'm here to protect people," Venti continued with a grin.

"You, my protector?"

Raiden Ei was quite unexpected.

"I am confident that I will protect the people of Inazuma, so you don't need to worry about it."

"But what if he isn't Inazuma?"

Venti continued.

After a moment's thought, Raiden Ei asked Venti, "Not Inazuma? Is it that boy who can deal with the Archon Residue? What's his connection to you?"

"I also want him to have some kind of relationship with me."

Venti sighed deeply.

That Bai Ye is handsome and rich; I wish she were my own son.

Unfortunately, he was the old man's junior.

But speaking of which, isn't that little Bai Ye a wind-attribute god with divine eyes? Oh, so this is somewhat related to me.

Thinking this way, Venti felt much better.

He said to Raiden Ei, "The old man treats him as his heir, I dare not compete with him for him."

"Morax?"

Raiden Ei pondered.

Raiden Ei was confident she could fight the other Seven Archons. Whether it was the scheming Ice Queen or the dedicated war god Natlan, she was confident she could fight them. But facing the oldest of the Seven Archons, Raiden Ei felt that her strongest strike would be utterly ineffective against him.

"No, if Morax values him, then what are you doing here?"

Raiden Ei then realized, "You mentioned your relationship with Morax, but how come it's you coming here?!"

"I didn't want to either, but Bai Ye needs a bodyguard. So, I had no choice but to come and make sure he's alright."

Venti shrugged with a pained expression.

Raiden Ei frowned and said to Venti, "Now that he's come to Inazuma, I will personally instruct my men to protect his safety."

"The old man knew you wouldn't take it seriously, so he sent me over," Venti sighed.

"The price I pay for Bai Ye's accident is one I cannot afford, and one you cannot afford either."

"Can't afford it?"

Raiden Ei frowned.

Although she was indeed not confident in fighting Morax, she wouldn't agree with Raiden Ei that she was afraid of him.

"The old man was one factor in what happened at Bai Ye. But the more important factor was there."

Venti pointed to the sky.

Even if it's an old man, you dare to brandish a knife? Do you dare to Heavenly Principles?

"What exactly is his identity? Could he have come down from Celestia?"

This time, Raiden Ei really turned pale.

If the issue is simply about resolving the problem of Gods, then its importance lies only at the level of the Seven Archons. It is indeed very useful for the Seven Archons, but when it rises to the level of Heavenly Principles, it is not so important.

"He didn't come down from Celestia, in fact, I don't know where he came from." Venti shook his head. "But, there's no doubt that he is the nemesis of the Abyss. Absorbing the power of the Gods is secondary; his body is extremely lethal to the Abyss."

The Abyss's natural enemy?

Raiden Ei was somewhat incredulous when he heard Venti say that.

"Can he fight against the Abyss?"

"In fact, it's not just about fighting against the Abyss, but about hunting Abyss. It's like a tiger hunting a wild boar in the wild; he can deal with Abyss forces that are far stronger than himself. In the future, he might even be able to wipe the entire Abyss out of Teyvat. So for his safety, we absolutely cannot let anything happen to him, not even if there's a one in a thousand chance."

"I see..."

Raiden Ei has now returned to calm.

She knew Venti wouldn't lie to her here; Bai Ye truly possessed this ability that would make even the Heavenly Principles take notice.

In that case, I really need to protect Bai Ye.

"If he is safe, I will do everything I can to protect him. At the same time, I will also observe him closely to see if he can shoulder this responsibility."

Raiden Ei said to Venti.

"Observe carefully?"

Venti's expression turned slightly strange after hearing what Raiden Ei said.

Then, he said very sincerely, "Beelzebul, as someone who knows the situation, I suggest you don't observe him."

"Why?"

Raiden Ei frowned.

His physique is somewhat mysterious, but not to the point of being unrecognizable.

"This is for your own good. He's very charming; women can easily fall for him."

Venti's expression became even more serious.

"I know what I'm doing. You just need to focus on your own work."

Raiden Ei said to Venti.

She saw Bai Ye in the video, and he was indeed a very handsome and cute boy. Raiden Ei was certain that she had never seen such a good-looking boy in her thousands of years of life, but to say that she was bewitched was highly unlikely.

"Uh-huh..."

Venti smiled slightly.

Plans are in place!

People always need to find some happiness.

"Oh, right..." Venti remembered what Zhongli had told him before he came here, and immediately said to Bai Ye, "Grandpa Zhongli hopes that you can teach Ye your doll-making technique. This technique will be the price he pays for dealing with the remnants of the Inazuma Gods."

"Mm." Ying nodded.

"I will observe him carefully, and if he is indeed capable of shouldering this responsibility, I will teach him."

"Good."

Venti nodded with a smile.

"I've confessed everything, I'm outta here, I'm outta here!"

Last time he came to Inazuma, he only stayed on Watatsumi Island for less than half a day before leaving. This time, he's coming to Inazuma to properly enjoy the sake.

He stood up, patted his backside, and left.

Ying watched him leave.

Then I prepared to return to the Sanctum of Euthymia.

She has a lot to do today, and she needs to think things through carefully.

However, just as she was about to reach the Sanctum of Euthymia, Venti came running up again.

"Um?"

His face was filled with doubt.

What brings you here?

"Hey, do you have any money? Can I borrow some to drink?"

Venti said with a smile.

"No."

"That's what Ying said next."

Maura, she never uses it.

"Then I can use your name..."

"Impossible."

She didn't want Inazuma City to know that a drunkard had appeared in the Tenshukaku.

She glanced at Venti and immediately returned to her Sanctum of Euthymia.

"That..."

Venti was about to say something when he noticed that Raiden Shogun's expression had changed.

"How?"

"It's alright, it's alright..."

Venti quickly waved her hand.

After resting for a few days at the Yashiro Commission, Kamisato Ayaka prepared to set off again.

This time, she was acting on behalf of the official authorities, and her entourage was larger and more impressive.

"Brother, I'm leaving."

"Okay, be careful on the road, Liyue, please be mindful of the law."

Ayato and Ayaka gave their instructions.
