Chapter 446: Invitation from Mulou Teahouse
Hearing Zaoyou's pitiful words, Jiuqi couldn't help but laugh:
"Where did you hear that? But it's true.
As for the three of us...we should be considered as envoys.
You don't have to worry too much. Liyue is a decent and reasonable people. They won't do anything to us."
"Huh... That's great..."
Zaoyou breathed a visibly relieved sigh.
After she let out this breath, Zaoyou immediately began to feel sleepy. She yawned with tears in her eyes.
"I've been constantly on the road and chasing for the past few days, and I haven't gotten a good night's sleep at all. This is really bad for my growth!
Ugh... I don't care! I'm going to... take a nap first!
Don't... don't disturb me..."
As she said this, Zaoyou jumped lightly and used ninjutsu to transform herself back into the tumbler-like raccoon cat doll. She curled up inside and began to sleep.
Seeing this scene, Kamisato Ayaka and Kuki Shinobu looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
Even though he's a ninja, he's still a child after all.
Zaoyou has been running around with them these days, and it's really hard for her. Let her rest for a while.
In fact, it's not just Hayyou who needs rest. Kamisato Ayaka and Kuki Shinobu are also reaching their limit.
Perhaps influenced by Zaoyou's sleepiness, they both felt a wave of sleepiness coming over them.
Before they knew it, Kamisato Ayaka and Kuki Shinobu were sitting on the sofa, one leaning against the backrest, the other supporting her chin with her hand, and began to rest with her eyes closed in a daze.
I closed my eyes and rested for an unknown amount of time when the door to the conference room next door opened.
The moment the door was pushed open, Kamisato Ayaka and Kuki Shinobu immediately woke up.
The two of them stood up suddenly and looked nervously at the people who walked out of the conference room.
After Ningguang and the others came out, they didn't say anything else.
They simply sent Ningguang as their representative to speak to Kamisato Ayaka in a relatively polite manner:
"Ms. Kamisato, we have made things clear.
We in Liyue deeply regret the actions of the Tenryo Bugyo and Kanjo Bugyo of the Inazuma Shogunate.
Under normal circumstances, we must take action.
However, considering that the three of you have hunted down all the Inazuma people with ulterior motives in Liyue, and considering that Lord Gou Chenxing went to Inazuma three days ago, the situation in Inazuma is still unclear.
After discussion, we decided not to take any action yet, but to wait and see what happens, and await news from Lord Gou Chenxing."
After hearing what Ningguang said, Kamisato Ayaka didn't know whether she was relieved or sighed.
The situation was pretty much the same as she had guessed. How the situation would develop next would still depend on Lord Gou Chenxing.
Sure enough, in the context of the power of the gods or even beyond the power of the gods, they are just insignificant little characters.
After sighing, Kamisato Ayaka looked at Ningguang cautiously again:
"Then the three of us..."
Ningguang's expression grew slightly more serious.
"Until everything is settled, please do not leave Liyue Harbor and only operate within it.
If you don't mind, my Qun Yu Pavilion can reimburse all your expenses in Liyue Harbor these days.
By the way, I can also arrange a tour guide for the three of you, how about that?"
Kamisato Ayaka's heart skipped a beat.
Arrange a tour guide?
Are you sure you're a tour guide? Not some secret agent keeping an eye on us?
Sigh...never mind.
I am the fish on the chopping board, so what right does she have to choose at this time?
Trying hard to put on a humble smile, Kamisato Ayaka nodded:
"Then... thank you very much for your kindness, Lord Tianquanxing."
In this way, Kamisato Ayaka, Kuki Shinobu, and Hayate were half-forced and half-willingly left in Liyue Harbor.
They can move freely within Liyue Harbor, but they are obviously restricted from leaving Liyue Harbor and cannot leave Liyue Harbor for the time being.
When things got to this point, Kamisato Ayaka became more open-minded and chose to take things one step at a time.
Things can't get any worse anyway, right?
So that night, Ningguang and the others arranged a place for Shenli Linghua and the others to stay, but that's not mentioned...
This is the situation in Liyue, now let’s talk about Inazuma.
Didn’t Gu Chen give Lei Dianyi seven days?
Before I knew it, it was the fifth day.
On the fifth day, Gu Chen chose to take Paimeng to stroll around Inazuma City as usual.
There wasn't much to talk about during the first half of the stroll, it was just casual fun.
Just before noon, Gu Chen and Paimeng were stopped by someone.
It wasn't that he was stopped, to be precise, he was invited.
"You said... your master invited me to the Mulou Teahouse for tea?"
Thomas, standing in front of Gu Chen, kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
This social official, who has always been able to do everything with ease, was now unusually panicked and at a loss when facing Gu Chen.
He wiped the cold sweat from his face while trying to formulate his thoughts:
“It’s an invitation, indeed.
Lord Gu Chen, the head of the family has instructed me to invite you as respectfully as possible.
If you're not too willing, that's totally fine, just pretend it didn't happen.
In short, it all depends on your wishes, this is just an invitation..."
Seeing Thomas afraid of angering him, Gu Chen laughed in his heart.
The person who invited him to the Mulou Tea House for tea and chat was undoubtedly Kamisato Ayato.
It wasn't particularly surprising that he sent Thomas to invite me.
After thinking about it, Gu Chen felt that there was nothing to do today. Since he was free anyway, he might as well go over and take a look to see what Kamisato Ayato was up to.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen looked at Paimeng beside him:
"Paimon, what do you think?"
Paimon pinched his chin:
"Hmm...it's a bit suspicious. Could it be a trap?"
Cold sweat immediately broke out on Thomas's forehead, and he shook his hands, leaving afterimages:
"No, no, no! How could this be a trap!?
Our master invited you two sincerely! He has absolutely no intention of harming you!
The sincerity of this heart is clear to all the world!"
Well, even Tianri Zhaozhao came out, which shows that Thomas was pretty scared.
Seeing this, Paimon felt that it was somewhat credible, so she nodded:
"Well, since you're so sincere, let's go and take a look.
Even if it is a trap, Gu Chen will not be afraid.
Gu Chen, let's go!"
"Okay, let's go take a look."
Thomas was relieved to be pardoned.
Next, he respectfully took Gu Chen and Paimeng to the Mulou Teahouse, the base of the society.
On the way there, Paimon and Thomas chatted casually for a while and learned about Thomas's identity. He also knew that the head of the family who invited them was the current society magistrate, Kamisato Ayato.
After learning who invited him, Paimon also guessed a little about the purpose of Kamisato Ayato inviting them.
