Chapter 249: Liyue Ambassador to Inazuma

"Liyue's ambassador to Inazuma? Hahahaha, handsome boy, even if you lie, you have to make up a lie that sounds plausible. Do you think any idiot Liyue high-ranking officials would approve of such a thing? Were you dragged to Inazuma by your companions to seek medical treatment for your brain?"

Lilyhua burst out laughing as if she had heard a huge joke. As an official of Inazuma, Lilyhua knew very well what Inazuma was like now. Some people living outside the city of Inazuma couldn't even afford to eat. Under such circumstances, which country would be so desperate as to send an ambassador to visit Inazuma now?
Oh, no, it seems that the Favonius Knight named Goodwin visited Inazuma on behalf of Mond a few days ago. Tsk, if she remembered correctly, that poor Favonius Knight is still being fooled by the people of the Kujo family, right?

As Lily Hua laughed, she felt a little regretful. How could such a handsome boy with good temperament have a bad brain at such a young age? Tsk, he seems to have the Eye of God on him, why not trick him into joining her? Anyway, the Mora she made these days is enough to buy a house on the outlying island. It seems like it would be nice to have a beautiful woman in a golden house like in the Liyue story.

Just as she was thinking about how to trick Ruojin, Yurihua didn't notice that the looks Ying and his group gave her became complicated, especially Hu Tao. Before, Ruojin was holding her hand, but now Hu Tao was hugging Ruojin's arm.

Having grown up playing with Ruojin, Hutao knows Ruojin's personality and temper very well. In Hutao's impression, Ruojin is definitely not a random person. Since he said that he is Liyue's ambassador to Inazuma, Hutao can be 100% sure that Ruojin has this identity.

So how did this identity come about? Without having to think too much, Hu Tao could guess that it must have been given to Ruo Jin by Keqing, the sister who loved Ruo Jin so much. Now, this little Inazuma official in front of her was speaking nonsense and calling Keqing a fool. Hu Tao was worried that if she didn't hold Ruo Jin's arm tightly, Ruo Jin would directly fight with the Inazuma official in front of her.

Of course, it’s not that Hu Tao is afraid of the Inazuma man in front of her. She thinks that beating up such an arrogant guy is too light a punishment. What makes Hu Tao worried is that if the matter gets out of hand and Thomas who is standing next to her is implicated, it will be bad.

After all, the Liyue people would stay in Inazuma for a few days and then leave, so they didn't have to worry about the revenge of these people. But Toma wanted to live in Inazuma, and he had kindly promised Sister Beidou to lead the way for them. It would be terrible if Toma was accidentally involved and retaliated against by others.

Hu Tao, who only regarded Thomas as the local bully of Inazuma, was kind-hearted and started to consider Thomas at this time. There is an old saying in Liyue that the people should not fight against the officials. If a guy like Thomas, who was obviously a gangster, offended the official people of Inazuma, in Hu Tao's opinion, Thomas could have ordered their Wangshengtang package in advance.

While Hu Tao was comforting Ruo Jin, Ying looked at Lily Hua with eyes full of pity. After traveling with Ruo Jin for so many days, Ying could tell at a glance that Ruo Jin was not in a very good mood at the moment. And based on Ying's understanding of Ruo Jin, Ruo Jin would definitely not simply let this matter go.

“Ahhh, you’re really infuriating! Ruojin’s sister is Liyue’s Yuhengxing Keqing, how could he lie?”

Paimeng didn't notice that everyone's eyes were not right. Seeing that no one spoke up for Ruojin, the naive Paimeng took the initiative to stand up and support Ruojin. Paimeng had seen and remembered how good Ruojin had been to her before.

Originally, Paimon thought that Ruo Jin would not need her as a good partner when she encountered some difficulties, but she did not expect that she would come so soon. As for the soldiers around her with unfriendly faces, Paimon did not take them seriously at all.

When there are several big guys like Ruojin and Zhongli around her, Paimeng is fearless. To be frank, even if the ruins guards come today, she dares to punch them twice. "Well, Miss Yurihua, everything cannot be too absolute, I think..."

Knowing that Ruojin was a disciple of an immortal and that Ruojin's sister was from Liyue's Yuheng Star, Thomas was 90% convinced of Ruojin's story about her identity as Liyue's ambassador to Inazuma.

In order to prevent Inazuma's image from continuing to deteriorate in the eyes of Ruojin and other Liyue people, and also so that his own patriarch would have to worry less about Inazuma's recovery in the future, Thomas, who knew that his own patriarch had been secretly making various preparations for the lifting of the lockdown, intended to persuade Lilyhua to be more restrained.

After all, after Inazuma returns to normal, they will definitely trade with Liyue. Given Ruojin's status in Liyue, they'd better not offend him at this time, regardless of whether Ruojin is Liyue's ambassador to Inazuma or not. Otherwise, if Ruojin retaliates in the future, it will undoubtedly be a big trouble for Inazuma. Unfortunately, Thomas was interrupted by Lilyhua before he could finish his words.

"Mr. Thomas, you don't believe it, do you?"

From Thomas's tone, it seemed that he believed the words of the handsome man in front of him. Yurihua burst out laughing again. Before, she had always heard people in Inazuma Castle say that Thomas, the household steward of the Kamisato family, was so capable. Now it seemed that it was not just the Kamisato family who boasted about it. Otherwise, how could they not see through such a simple lie?

Just as Yurihua was laughing out loud, a man dressed in black suddenly rushed to Thomas who was about to say something. Seeing the man in black in front of her, Yurihua's smile paused. With this kind of clothing and skills, this man should be the last ninja belonging to the Kamisato family.

Why would the last ninja appear here and hand Thomas a note? A question appeared in Lilyhua's mind. When Thomas appeared on the island before, the people of the Tong family had already asked Thomas about his purpose of coming to the island. Thomas said at that time that he came to meet some friends. The people above also specifically told her to give face to the Kamisato family and not charge the handling fee.

But now it seems that the last ninja suddenly appeared here. It seems that all this is not as simple as Thomas said. Was it premeditated or did something unexpected happen? The smile on Yurihua's face gradually disappeared, and worry slowly emerged in her eyes.

Thomas, who was called aside by the final ninja, took a quick look at the note sent to him by his lord. He looked at Lilyhua with pity. It seemed that the meal he had used to offset the handling fees of Ruojin and others could be waived. Tsk, he had offended the ambassador sent by the Seven Stars of Liyue. Even if Ruojin did not pursue the matter, Thomas felt that Lilyhua's boss would not let her off easily.

As he was thinking, Thomas came to Ruojin. This time, unlike the previous greeting, Thomas's face was clearly full of respect. Looking at Ruojin's expressionless face, Thomas said apologetically.

"Ambassador Ruojin, we didn't expect you to arrive so soon. We received the news a little late. We are so sorry."
