Ei: My General Kujou Sara Won't Be Charmed!

Kujou Takayuki believed that his loyal followers were absolutely steadfast, and even if they were to actually leave the city, they would not be implicated by him.

If Bai Ye heard this, he would definitely burst out laughing.

Qin Wuyang dared to kill at the age of thirteen, yet he was still at a loss when he met the King of Qin. Some people are indeed not afraid of death, but that does not mean they are fearless.

The pressure facing the Rex Lapis is far greater than that facing the one who draws a knife. Especially since Zhongli deliberately unleashed all his pressure on him.

Upon seeing Zhongli, A-Er couldn't control himself and explained the whole situation.

From the moment he became a henchman of the Kujou Clan, to the moment he received orders from Kujou Takayuki, and finally to the moment he came to find Zhongli, he confessed everything without missing a single detail.

"So that's how it is..."

After hearing what A-Er said, Zhongli Li didn't know how to react.

I felt both amused and exasperated.

Why would someone cause trouble for me over something as trivial as this?

How long has Inazuma been isolating itself from the world? Don't these people have any knowledge at all?

Recalling the confession A-Er had given, Zhongli asked again:

"Oh, by the way, you said you split into two teams, so who did the other team go to?"

"She was a woman wearing glasses..."

It's Cloud Retainer...

"Now, follow me." Zhongli said slowly after scanning everyone with his gaze.

It seemed as if they were inviting a friend.

These assassins seemed to have no will to obey, and they all rushed to Zhongli's side.

Zhongli followed the direction of Mt. Tianheng, and the samurai and ninjas followed behind him.

Some people around looked on curiously at the large group of people following Zhongli and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zhongli, why are these people following you?"

Zhongli, stroking his chin, said, "Oh, the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is currently holding a membership event, buy one get one free. All these people are interested in this, and they're all coming over wanting to become members of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor."

A-Er others wanted to refute, but Zhongli's aura stirred, and the survival instinct from within his body made him unconsciously nod.

The idle people in Liyue Harbor looked on in surprise. "Is it now fashionable in Liyue Harbor to become a member of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor? Are we out of touch?"

Zhongli continued walking towards Mt. Tianheng.

Upon arriving at the foot of the mountain, the Cloud Retainer was standing there.

"Cloud Retainer, I'm here."

Zhongli spoke to Cloud Retainer.

Cloud Retainer glanced at the person following Zhongli and took out a mechanism from his waist.

"I've put all those people inside my machine."

"Then you can detain these people as well."

Zhongli pointed to the people behind him.

"Good."

Cloud Retainer nodded.

Then the mechanism in her hand lit up again, and all the assassins were drawn into it.

After doing all this, Zhongli and Cloud Retainer exchanged a glance.

"These guys actually want to use us to deal with Little Bai Ye?"

Cloud Retainer said, rather speechless.

Zhongli could use her imposing aura to make the assassins confess, and while Cloud Retainer didn't have that ability, she possessed Art of Automata. Setting up some minor traps to annoy the assassins and get them to talk was no problem.

"Um."

Zhongli nodded.

Although it felt like a joke, Cloud Retainer still asked Zhongli:

"Speaking of which, should we go over and warn Little Bai Ye, lest he really get tricked by those Inazuma guys?"

"No, the jade pendant beside him is with the Gods Asmodeus, and Barbatos was also on the island at the time. If someone could really trick Bai Ye in front of the two of them, he wouldn't have done such a thing."

Zhongli was completely indifferent to the Kujou Takayuki.

What he cared about most about Bai Ye was what benefits Bai Ye Inazuma would gain from this trip to Inazuma.

Bai Ye desires the doll-making technology of Beelzebul; it is something he must acquire.

There are also the powers of the evil spirits on Yashiori Island, the Gods Orobas, and the powers of other Gods in Inazuma. Zhongli hopes that Bai Ye can obtain more powers.

Because it is close to the Sea of Darkness, the number of Gods who died in the Battle of Inazuma is still considerable, although fewer than in Liyue. After the Bai Ye passes, one can gain many powers.

"Later, have the people who brought this assassin over deliver this device to Bai Ye. He'll take care of those scoundrels himself then."

Zhongli looked at the mechanism in the hand of the Cloud Retainer and said.

Inazuma Zhongli. At the same time, he also knew that the Fatui didn't want to cooperate with the Kujou Clan's assassins, so he simply had them deliver them to Bai Ye.

That way, it will be easier to handle whatever Bai Ye decides to do with the Kujou Clan.

"Clear."

Cloud Retainer nodded.

She planned to also send some temporary execution devices to Bai Ye.

They plotted to harm the Geo Archon, even though he was far away in Inazuma, they would make him confess his crimes and be executed.

The Shinji family's large ship passed through the thunderstorm and arrived at the port of Inazuma Ritou.

"Ah~, we're finally reaching the shore. I've been so bored these past few days." Hu Tao said, leaning on the railing and gazing at the buildings on the Ritou.

At first, boarding the ship was quite pleasant, but after a few days, Hu Tao started to get bored. So, besides her normal routine, she only had two things to do each day.

Her first thought was to stare blankly at Bai Ye. But when she did this, Shenhe would also come over and look too. This made Hu Tao uncomfortable; only she could look at her friend. "What if you go and Bai Ye becomes impure?"

The second thing...

"Have you all thought it through? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You will be the first batch of members of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor in Inazuma. If you are interested, we will directly give you a 50% discount."

Hu Tao said, looking at the sailors of the Shinto family.

The sailors of the Shinto family all wore bitter expressions.

This is a distinguished guest invited by the Shogun, and we absolutely cannot offend him.

Fortunately, at this moment, Bai Ye came to the rescue of the sailors. "Alright, Hu Tao, stop promoting. We're about to arrive at the Ritou, and then we'll be meeting Raiden Shogun. We need to prepare these things in advance."

"Alright." Only after hearing Bai Ye say this did Hu Tao finally let the poor sailors go.

Ayaka emerged from the cabin and, looking at the Ritou, said to Bai Ye, "Next, we'll dock at Ritou. We'll rest here for the night, and then head to the Tenshukaku to meet the Shogun tomorrow."

"Uh-huh."

Bai Ye nodded earnestly.

"Our operation in Inazuma this time is entirely up to you to arrange."

"I... I'll do it well," Ayaka said softly, turning her head away.

That expectant expression was absolutely dazzling.

Ayaka dared not look any longer.

She quickly looked towards the riverbank.

Over there, the people from Inazuma who were there to greet them were already waiting at the dock.

Ayato breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his younger sister standing by the ship.

"Thankfully, my little sister has arrived."

It seems that nothing has happened that could damage the reputation of the Shinto family.

That's it...

His gaze shifted to the others on the deck.

"The only boy is Bai Ye, whom Ayaka mentioned."

Looking at Bai Ye, Ayato's first thought was that he was handsome. He considered himself to be good-looking, but seeing Bai Ye made him feel that he wasn't as popular with girls as Byakuya.

The first thought that came to mind.

"Your own sister is a beast! That boy isn't even as tall as you, and you're still hung up on him."

Having lost her mother at a young age, Ayato had read extensively in classical texts about how girls from privileged backgrounds might develop a dependence on their elders and thus seek out older men. However, it seemed to him that his younger sister had little interest in older men.

Instead, it's the complete opposite.

Kamisato Ayato began to think about how to maintain the Kamisato Clan's reputation in Inazuma.

He glanced at the people who had come with him to wait for Bai Ye.

The Kanjou Commission only sent a senior member of the family with little real power to greet Bai Ye while also indicating that they did not want to get involved.

On the other side, out of the corner of his Kamisato Ayato, Kujou Sara Kujo, who was almost the same height as him, was leading the Shogunate Army soldiers on their way.

"The Shogun ordered me to come and protect that guest."

Kujou Sara glanced at Kamisato Ayato and then spoke slowly.

At the same time, she also received orders from the head of the family to carefully observe the situation of the approaching Bai Ye and then report what she saw to him.

Kujou Sara came with two missions.

At this moment, the ship docked, and Bai Ye and the others began to prepare to disembark.

Looking at Kujou Sara, Kamisato Ayato said with a smile, "Let me remind you, this guest is no ordinary person."

Kujou Sara was the most steadfast samurai; her heart was solely devoted to the orders of the Shogun and Kujou Takayuki, her willpower unwavering. But could she resist the allure of Bai Ye?

If the Kujou Clan turns against Bai Ye, will she change her mind?

Kamisato Ayato has ten wonders in her heart.

Upon hearing Kamisato Ayato's words, Kujou Sara Kujo frowned and said, "I know his identity. The Shogun had already instructed me before he came. Bai Ye's identity is of utmost importance, far more important than my life and the lives of the Shogunate Army."

Kujou Sara knew immediately what it would mean to resolve the issue of the vengeful spirit on Yashiori Island. This would change the entire island's situation far more effectively than her fighting the rebels on the front lines against Watatsumi Island.

"No, I mean he has a problem himself."

"Is there something wrong with him?" Kujou Sara frowned. "What's wrong with him?"

Is it a bad temper or something else? These Kujou Sara are all prepared.

The orders given to her by the Shogun were ones that she absolutely had to complete.

"Well, he might be a little too popular with young girls."

Kamisato Ayato spoke in a tone of watching a theatrical performance.

"He's never been to Inazuma before, so what if girls like him?"

Kujou Sara was even more baffled by Kamisato Ayato's words. Even if he was popular with girls, Inazuma had never been to Bai Ye before. They stayed one night on the Ritou before heading to the Tenshukaku to see the Shogun. So what if he was popular with girls?

"I'm not just talking about other girls."

Kamisato Ayato smiled but remained silent.

They couldn't help but have the intention of shifting the blame elsewhere.

If Kujou Sara were to be bewitched as well, then the matter of her own sister would seem less important.

Kujou Sara was a little confused about the situation.

At this point, the boat lowers its planks, allowing the people on board to disembark.

Kamisato Ayaka was the first to come down, and she watched her brother walk away with a smile.

"I will carry out your mission, Kamisato Ayaka will not fail in her duty."

Kamisato Ayaka addressed the group.

"Is the person who can deal with the Archon Residue behind us?" Kujou Sara Kamisato Ayaka at this moment.

"Hmm... Bai Ye is behind him, and he got off the boat shortly after."

"I understand." Kujou Sara nodded and led the Shogunate Army soldiers to the ship's deck.

"Let's go, let's go! We'll definitely go explore the Ritou!"

"Hmm, I've finished the Qingxin and Glaze Lily I brought. I'll go buy some new ones."

"I doubt you can buy Qingxin and Glaze Lily here in Inazuma."

Several people came to the side of the boat, chatting and laughing, and Kujou Sara could hear them clearly.

"It seems he's indeed popular with girls. However, he's still just a teenager at heart."

Kujou Sara thought to herself.

His gaze fell upon the ship's deck, trying to get a clear look at Bai Ye's appearance.

Upon seeing it, she froze in her tracks.

Someone who is more than a head shorter than me

He was exquisitely refined, his appearance inspiring comfort and a desire to get close. At the same time, his demeanor revealed a rigorous dedication to his craft. He believed his current position was the result of countless hours of arduous practice.

This is exactly the same as my experience of practicing swordsmanship when I was a child.

Kujou Sara felt an immense sense of closeness to her.

Kujou Sara noticed Bai Ye's otherworldly demeanor, while Kamisato Ayaka sensed Bai Ye's seriousness and studious spirit.

It must be very difficult for such a young child to cultivate like this.

Kujou Sara's eyes softened instantly.

This is,

Bai Ye looked up at the Kujou Sara.

The two people looked into each other's eyes.

Tenshukaku

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Venti came over with a bottle of wine.

Sitting in the Tenshukaku, Venti drank his wine as he walked towards the location of Raiden Shogun.

They arrived before Raiden Shogun.

At this moment Raiden Ei opened his eyes and looked at Venti.

"Is there something you need here?"

Looking at Venti's nonchalant attitude, Raiden Ei felt a surge of anger.

As one of the Seven Archons alongside Anemo Archon, Shadow seems to have a very different compatibility with Venti.

"Judging from the wind outside, I sensed someone crossing the thunderstorm. It seems that Little Bai Ye has come looking for you."

"Hmph, I knew that all along. That's why I arranged for my general Kujou Sara, to greet and protect him."

"Kujou Sara go to greet her?"

Venti said, somewhat surprised.

"How?"

"I think it would be interesting if the bodyguards you invited were bewitched."

Venti smiled and said to the shadow.

"Impossible. My subordinate Kujou Sara is the most steadfast samurai, unlike those shallow women."

"Oh, really not?"

Venti drawled out her words.
