Planting the Sakura Tree, Leaving Inazuma

Although it was only one arm, Miyoshi Chiyo's swordsmanship was by no means weak.

The attacks were relentless and impenetrable, completely enveloping the entire Lady Guuji.

Lady Guuji easily dodged using its own footwork.

He flipped in mid-air and landed behind Miyoshi Chiyo, then turned and swung his sword at her. However, Miyoshi Chiyo seemed to have eyes in the back of her head, and she swung her sword and turned to block.

Lady Guuji took a few steps back and sheathed the samurai sword in his hand.

"Not bad, I thought your swordsmanship had become rusty."

She said to Miyoshi Chiyo with a grin.

"My swordsmanship is no weaker than before."

Miyoshi Chiyo said confidently.

Just then, the extremely beautiful young woman from the Oni caught sight of Bai Ye out of the corner of her eye, smiled, and said, "Bai Ye, you've arrived!"

The next second, Lady Guuji was beside Bai Ye and wrapped her arms around Bai Ye's neck.

"Hey, you've finally arrived! How's it going with your sword training with Ying these past few days? Any noticeable progress? Come on, let's have a match."

Having taken advantage of the situation, Lady Guuji removed its arm from Bai Ye's neck.

"No, no, forget it."

Shadow only said she could defeat Yae Miko, but didn't say she could defeat Lady Guuji no Miko, so she probably still couldn't compare to her. Not to mention pure swordsmanship.

"Alright, it's time for you to leave too. Let's leave happily!" Lady Guuji never intended to find Bai Ye and force a fight.

"Uh-huh."

Bai Ye nodded quickly.

"When Zhen wants to challenge you to a match, I'll find you in Liyue. I've been fighting alongside Shadow and the others, so I haven't had a chance to properly see all of Teyvat. While things are still relatively peaceful, I'll take a look around first."

Just then, Thoma walked over.

A row of Shippou ninja followed behind him.

"Gentlemen, we have prepared food, drinks, and juices, and the banquet can begin at any time," Thoma said as he approached the group.

"Hmm..." Bai Ye nodded, then curiously pointed to the Shippou chapter.

"What's going on? Did you guys ejaculate in that food box at the end? How come it has legs and is running around everywhere?"

"It's not a food box spirit anymore!" The food box was put down, revealing Sayu's figure.

She walked angrily toward Bai Ye, hands on her hips and head tilted back, saying, "But the food box Thoma brought today is really too big, it's blocking me out."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Bai Ye lowered his head and stroked Sayu's head.

Well, Anemo is still the best; there's no pressure when fighting alongside Anemo creatures.

Except for a certain Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius.

"Don't touch my forehead, or I won't grow taller! I've already learned a lot of ways to grow taller lately, what if this touch doesn't work?" Sayu shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Hmph, if it were so easy to get results, what kind of height-increasing method is this? You've been scammed, haven't you? I suggest you tell me those height-increasing methods, and I'll examine you."

"Why do I feel like you're trying to trick me out of my money?"

Sayu looked at Bai Ye with a suspicious gaze.

"How is that possible?"

"Then swear that if you lie, you won't grow taller."

Bai Ye was defeated.

These days, kids are all so difficult to deal with, they're really hard to fool.

The people next to him couldn't help but smile.

Under the cherry blossom tree, Lady Guuji was smoking a pipe in one hand, leaning against Shadow's shoulder. In Shadow's arms, Miyoshi Chiyo lay down directly.

I looked up at the Sakura Tree.

Sakura Tree, the inscription "Dreamy Musou" hangs on the tree.

True consciousness is staring down.

The atmosphere is almost exactly the same as it was back then; everyone except Sasayuri is here.

Moreover,

There are many more.

Although the samurai had lost their sense of taste after their souls entered the mechanical dolls' bodies, they listened with happy expressions as Thoma and the Shippou ninjas recounted strange tales of Inazuma.

Yae Miko clasped her hands together and murmured something.

Ying initially thought she was praying for her old friends, but upon closer listening, she only heard her muttering words like 'marriage' and 'fate'.

Ying regretted listening so carefully.

Continuing to observe the others, the Yashiro Commission, Kamisato Ayato, stood alone, sipping tea. His sister and Bai Ye were drinking juice around him. Bai Ye took a game device out of his pocket and played it with the others.

Teenagers are at their most energetic and vibrant, and even Shenhe's face was filled with curiosity.

That's great!

Ying thought to herself.

Just as she was thinking this, Yae Miko picked up her sake cup, smiled at her seniors, and said:

"Come, let's drink to our reunion."

"Come!" Lady Guuji was the first to respond. She stood up, took the cup from the ground, and responded to Yae Miko.

"Let's have a drink."

After having a drink, Lady Guuji looked at the Sakura Tree and said with a smile, "Well, did you plant this tree, Yae-nee? These cherry blossoms are really beautiful."

"It wasn't me." Yae no Yae Miko pointed at Kage. "It must have been the Shogun planted the seed."

"No, it's a true mongoose."

Shadow shook his head and pointed to Truth.

"Huh? I didn't!" Upon hearing that he had planted the Sakura Tree himself, Makoto quickly denied it. "I did prepare the seeds, but I haven't had a chance to give them to Kage yet. Looking at this Sakura Tree, I feel that it's unnecessary."

When she said this, she also took that seed from 'Dreamy Musou'.

Everyone could sense that this seed and the Sakura Tree shared the same origin, but this seed was here, and so was the Sakura Tree.

"Then, who planted this tree?"

Everyone in the room looked puzzled.

Is it still an unsolved case?

Their confusion was noticed by others, and Bai Ye walked over and asked curiously, "What happened here?"

Makoto explained to Bai Ye, "We're talking about this Sakura Tree. This Sakura Tree appeared in Inazuma, but no one knows how it came to be."

"This..." Bai Ye was also somewhat puzzled when he heard Makoto say this.

In the original world view, this tree was planted in the consciousness space of the Shadow, and was later brought to five hundred years ago by Istaroth's ability, eventually becoming the present Inazuma Sakura Tree. However, it is clear that the Shadow did not plant this tree in his consciousness space. So what happened?

Bai Ye was also puzzled.

He reached out and took the seed.

After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said to everyone, "No matter what the reason is, it's fine as long as it appears here. Anyway, it's fine as long as it appears here, no matter who planted it."

"Perhaps, if I stretch out my hand, this seed will naturally be placed five hundred years ago."

Bai Ye casually stretched out his hand.

However, just as he stretched out his hand, the noise of the crowd around him disappeared.

The surroundings became dazzling with light and color.

Bai Ye then felt as if someone was holding his hand and leading him forward.

He sensed someone beside him. Although he couldn't see their face clearly, Bai Ye knew it was a woman through the delicate sensation of their touch.

His body was being pulled forward, and after an unknown amount of time, they finally stopped.

Bai Ye's hand involuntarily loosened its grip.

The seeds fell.

After that,

The surrounding scenery kept receding.

It seemed as if a magnetic female voice was coming from beside my ear.

"Hurry, we can't hold out much longer."

"You cannot absorb my power yet."

"Not enough, not enough, you haven't absorbed enough."

"We are waiting for you."

"Our family..."

As he said this, he felt a gentle embrace.

It's so warm...

It felt like when your older sister went out and your younger brother hugged and comforted her.

Bai Ye was still savoring this warm feeling, he realized that he was already under the cherry Sakura Tree.

The people around him remained unchanged.

The next second, everyone began to move.

"Did you see any change in me just now?"

Bai Ye.

Hearing Bai Ye ask this question, Lady Guuji asked with some confusion:

"Changes? Have you changed in any way?"

"Wait, what about the seeds in your hand?" Shadow quickly noticed that the seeds in Bai Ye's hand had disappeared.

The seeds disappeared right before my eyes.

How do you make sukiyaki?

It's absolutely impossible for the Serenitea Pot to hide anything from her. There's no way that the Serenitea Pot, crafted by the Madame Ping, could conceal anything from her.

How do you make sashimi?

Raiden Ei was puzzled.

"Just now, I think I ran into Istaroth."

"I speak to everyone," said Bai Ye.

If someone can catch even a shadow off guard, then it must be the Primordial One, who still possesses a shadow, even if it's Zhongli. And what just happened also seems to be the work of Istaroth.

Looking at the Sakura Tree, Bai Ye had a look of mixed amusement and exasperation on her face.

"This Sakura Tree was actually planted by me."

Um!?

Ying was puzzled at first, but then she realized that this was the work of Istaroth, so she understood.

Yes, that's the only possibility.

Seeds and trees originate from the same source, and it is impossible for them to exist simultaneously unless there is time travel.

It appears that Istaroth and Bai Ye planted the Kagami Sakura Tree together.

It turns out that we had contact five hundred years ago.

Ying thought to herself.

His gaze fell upon Bai Ye.

Five hundred years ago, Inazuma was beset by internal and external troubles. At that time, Makoto, Lady Guuji, and others had died in battle, the little fox Yae Miko had not yet grown up, and even the puppet general had not yet been forged. He could only find solace in looking at the Sakura Tree.

And this Sakura Tree was actually planted by Bai Ye.

Ying looked at Bai Ye.

At this moment, the allure emanating from Bai Ye was no longer apparent in Ying's eyes.

More than anything, Bai Ye's about having someone by your side, helping you overcome any difficulties you encounter, and fostering a sense of anticipation and closeness.

At that moment Bai Ye didn't have time to feel anything, because he was thinking about what Istaroth had just said to him.

It's understandable that he said his absorption of the Gods god's power wasn't enough. He plans to find other Gods to absorb their power after he returns. His goal is to become strong enough as soon as possible to defeat the Abyss.

At the same time, Istaroth's words were also telling Bai Ye that he could absorb Istaroth's power in the same way. Logically, since he could absorb Istaroth's power, he could also absorb other beings, including the Heavenly Principles- sustaining entity.

Bai Ye bothered me the most was Istaroth's statement that they couldn't hold out for long.

What does it mean that this won't last long?

Whether it means they couldn't withstand the Abyss's attack, or that one of them, or even the Primal Being Fanes, couldn't withstand it, either way, it was very serious. However, the preparations I needed to make were still very important.

She said it was not specific enough.

But never mind, I'll just focus on doing my own thing.

They are searching for the power of the Gods, and also striving to build a united front among nations.

When one is in a position to be the strongest, whether it is in terms of individual strength or the overall strength of the army, one can be the most powerful.

Develop on both sides and make yourself strong on both sides.

As for the last word about family, ever since his last meeting with Heavenly Principles, he was quite certain that he and Heavenly Principles had a close relationship.

Just then, Hu Tao Taoqi came over and interrupted the conversation.

She took Bai Ye's hand and said to him, "Wow, this tree was planted by you Bai Ye. Come on, Bai Ye, get the Kamera and take a picture of me."

"No... it shouldn't be taking pictures of me."

Hu Tao thought for a moment and then shook her head.

She looked at Thoma, who was standing to the side.

"Come on, Mr. Thoma, take a picture of me with Bai Ye."

"Hu Tao said to Thoma."

"Sure."

Thoma nodded.

Seeing that she wanted to take a group photo, Shenhe stood silently behind Bai Ye.

"Me too."

Ayaka also came over with anticipation.

"Count me in, Bai Ye."

"If you're here to take photos, why don't we all do it together?"

Seeing this, Yae Miko chuckled.

He flashed to her side.

"Hahaha, ba, Ying."

Lady Guuji was also excitedly gazing at the scene, and even cast a shadow.

Finally, Kamisato Ayato, Sayu, and even Miyoshi Chiyo also appeared in the shot.

Thoma took the photo.

Kamisato Ayato took the Kamera and said to everyone, "I'll be in charge of preparing a photo for each of you. Later, I'll have Ayaka give them to you."

"Uh-huh."

Bai Ye nodded vigorously.

Remembering that he would soon be leaving Inazuma, his gaze involuntarily turned to Kamisato Ayaka.

However, unexpectedly,

Bai Ye saw that Ayaka's face showed no sign of sadness, but rather was full of anticipation.

What's going on here?!

Seeing the puzzled look on Bai Ye's face as she looked at her younger sister, Ayato laughed.

"Next, our Inazuma plans to send diplomatic envoys to various countries to be stationed there to be responsible for bilateral trade and exchanges. And Inazuma's first diplomatic envoy stationed in Liyue is my younger sister, Kamisato Ayaka."

It is perfectly legitimate and has a solid basis.

Ayato smiled and looked at Bai Ye.

At the same time, he also gave his younger sister a warning look.

Wait a little longer, wait a little longer. If you commit a crime this time, you'll bring shame to the entire Inazuma.

Ayaka her brother's expression, Ayaka was speechless.

I'm not the kind of person who would break the law.

At the very least, I need to consult with that Yanfei first.
