The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 251: A Xing's Arrival

"I think it would be better for you to take a look at the documents, Miss Lily Hua. I think this gentleman's identity should be genuine. If you are not sure, I think I can help you confirm it as an intermediary."

A voice with a slight breath interrupted the argument between Thomas and Lily. Hearing someone say this, Thomas didn't care who was speaking. Thinking only of winning the argument, he continued speaking.

"Yes, yes, Miss Lilyhua, if you don't believe it, we can ask someone to confirm it."

As he spoke, Thomas, who thought this was a good idea, began to feel less angry. His desire to defend his young lady's reputation also gradually faded away along with his anger.

Seeing the unfriendly expressions on the faces of the private soldiers of the Tong family, Thomas, whose IQ had regained the upper hand, narrowed his eyes and felt relieved. Fortunately, he did not take action just now. If he had taken action, he would have either been caught by the private soldiers of the Tong family or exposed his Eye of God. Either result would be very dangerous for him.

Seeing that Thomas gradually calmed down, Lily Hua, who had just provoked Thomas's anger, became unhappy in an instant. Her plan was about to succeed but was ruined by someone's words. Lily Hua gritted her teeth and turned her head to look in the direction where the voice came from. She wanted to see who had ruined her plan.

"Axing Miko? Why is it you?"

Seeing who was coming clearly, Lilyhua cried out in surprise. It was no small matter that the Yae Godson had been training this shrine maiden named Axing these days. The people in charge of Kanjo Bugyo had specifically instructed that no matter what, they should not have any conflicts with this shrine maiden named Axing.

Yurihua could guess some of the reasons. The current Inazuma situation is a struggle between the three magistrates. If the Narukami Taisha is destroyed, it would be hard to say which family will benefit the most. After all, the Narukami Taisha has always been close to the Kamisato family, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that.

What Yurihua couldn't understand was why Ayuki would suddenly appear in a place like an outlying island. Logically speaking, there was no reason for Ayuki and the Narukami Taisha behind her to come to an outlying island that hardly participated in Inazuma's internal affairs.

"Ms. Lily Hua, this document is indeed authentic, and this identity letter is also authentic."

Without answering Lilyhua's question immediately, Axing first took the documents and letter from Thomas. After checking them carefully, Axing glanced at Lilyhua who looked nervous and said expressionlessly the answer that Lilyhua least wanted to hear.

"As for why I'm here, the Yae Palace Master asked me to welcome the Liyue ambassador who is visiting Inazuma and several friends from the Hall of Rebirth."

At this point, Axing began to have doubts in his heart. The person who was previously in charge of collecting fees on the outlying island was directly demoted because he offended the bard friend of Yae Miyagi. How come someone in the same position has offended Yae Miyagi's friend now? Is there something wrong with this official position or is there something wrong with the friends of his own Miyagi?

No, no, you can't think like that, Axing shook his head. How could there be a problem with the Yae priest? Well, there must be a problem with the Kanjo Bugyo. When I have the chance, I must talk about this matter in front of the priest.

"This, this is impossible!"

After hearing what Ah Xing said, He Hua staggered and fell to the ground, muttering words like impossible and fake, as if trying to convince herself in this way. The private soldiers of the Tong family around her saw that things were not as simple as they imagined, and they all dispersed with a rush, as if the arrogant people just now were not them.

"Dear guests, I am truly sorry. I was late due to some matters, and you suffered this injustice. I will report this matter to the Lord Palace Master, and will give you an explanation." Ignoring Lily Hua whose eyes had lost their light, Ah Xing bowed to Ruo Jin and the others, and expressed his apologies to them in a very sincere tone.

"Forget it, just do whatever you want."

Ruo Jin didn't really take Axing's explanation to heart. He knew that once he entered the eyes of Inazuma's top management, there would be many people who would be vying to teach this woman named Yurihua a lesson for him, so he didn't really care about Axing's explanation.

Seeing that Ruojin did not pursue the matter further, Axing felt slightly relieved. No matter what, this was a dereliction of duty on the part of Inazuma. If Ruojin insisted on pursuing the matter, the matter would most likely be brought to the attention of the Shogun. At that time, punishment would surely be inevitable, whether it was the Narukami Taisha Shrine or the three major families.

"In that case, please follow me and leave the island. We can talk while we walk."

Ayuki led everyone in the direction of leaving the island. With Ayuki, the shrine maiden of Narukami Taisha, there, even if the Kanjo Bugyo received an order to guard the entrance and not allow people leaving the island, they did not dare to stop Ayuki. Under Ayuki's leadership, these Kanjo Bugyo could only watch Ruojin and his companions walking further and further away.

"Hard politics, corrupt officials, and long-resented citizens. Mr. Thomas, does that General Raiden really not care about Inazuma at all?"

"If this continues, within ten years, the family will no longer be a family, the country will no longer be a country, and my wife will be in danger."

"Ahem, Mr. Zhongli, the situation is not as serious as you say. With our patriarch here, I believe that even if something unexpected happens to Inazuma, our patriarch can handle it."

Thomas, who had been chatting with Zhongli all the way, did not take the words of Zhongli, the seemingly young "young man", to heart. As the household manager of the Kamisato family, Thomas had great confidence in the head of the family, Kamisato Ayato. He felt that with Kamisato Ayato around, Inazuma would not have any major problems.

"Mr. Thomas, have rebels appeared in Inazuma?"

"Well, well... there are indeed some small rebel groups, but it's not a big problem. With General Kujo here, the rebels won't be able to cause any trouble."

"Rather than that, would you like to go with me to stroll around Inazuma Castle?"

Realizing that if Zhongli continued talking, he might infer everything that happened to Inazuma, Thomas changed the subject in time. At the same time, he also kept an eye on this guest official of the Wangsheng Hall named Zhongli. When he met the head of the family next time, he would make sure to mention this Mr. Zhongli to the head of the family.

"There's no need to walk around. I'm still thinking about finishing the commission that Sister Shen Zi gave me as soon as possible. Miss Xing, you should know how to get to that place, right?"

According to Yaegamiko's description, there seems to be a small island on Inazuma, and that island is full of ghosts. This makes Kurumi, who is a professional correspondent, very curious about the island, so Kurumi didn't even think about resting. She planned to go directly to that place to take a look.
