Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

"Why is it you again..." Clarind sighed, rubbing her forehead.

"Haha~ Lady Clorinde, who told you to keep avoiding me? I had no choice but to come to you this way." The young master chuckled. "How about it? In front of the water god you respect most, are you still going to refuse my challenge? Running away like a weakling is not the quality that the best dueling agent of Fontaine should have."

"You guy!"

Clarinde was a little angry.

Deliberately, during the Wanfa Festival, in front of the Water God and so many people, this executor of the Fools, who was rated as 'simple-minded' in intelligence reports, actually resorted to scheming.

"Hmm... Clorind, who is this guy?" Furina turned her head and asked.

"Lady Furina, he is the son of the executor of the Fools, a troublesome fellow."

Not counting this time, the young master has come to see her no less than five times, each time proposing a duel, which is very annoying.

"Executor?" Fu Ningna was startled at first, but then she suddenly realized that she was no longer the Fu Fu of the past. With the cards Su Chen gave her, what was a cricket executor?

So, he put his hands on his hips, raised his head, and looked down on the world.

"Haha~ Traveler from afar, I commend your courage in standing before me. Let this duel serve as the grand opening ceremony of the All-Laws Festival!"

Clarinde was taken aback: "Lady Furina?"

"Haha! Interesting, interesting. What an understanding deity. Thank you for your blessing." The young master was full of fighting spirit. He didn't even care about the location of the battle and was ready to have a big fight with Clorind right here.

"Young master, you've got nothing better to do than this again, haven't you?"

A voice suddenly sounded.

The young master's gaze shifted.

It's Su Chen's brother.

No, you should call him Your Excellency the Consul.

The young master has been in Fontaine for some time now, so he naturally knows about the prominent figures in Fontaine these days. However, he is not surprised by this. After all, they are people that the Queen has taken a liking to. What's so strange about them being taken a liking to by the Water God as well?

Huh? Report the message back?

He has no interest in that.

Anyway, Su Chen must have been careless to do this.

"Ah~ Brothers Sue and Hein, it's been a long time." The young master grinned. "But let's catch up after this battle."

Su Chen said blankly, "I have no time to reminisce with you, so get out of my way."

He was in a hurry to go to the opera house to find Fukaros.

"It'll be ready soon, almost done!"

A battle was inevitable.

"Lady Furina, please allow me to fight in place of Clorind," Aina suddenly said.

"what?"

Everyone turned to look at Aina.

"You go?"

"Yes, as he wished."

Aina stepped out from the crowd.

When he saw her, the young master was stunned for a moment, then said with displeasure, "Hey, hey, hey, I'm looking for Clorind. If you want to fight me, please find another opportunity next time, okay?"

“No need.” Aina calmly drew her longsword from her waist. “It will be ready soon.”

The next moment, the figure shot out.

She moved so fast that she covered the distance between herself and the young master in the blink of an eye.

The sword's edge suddenly thrust forward.

Sensing the approaching danger, the young master leaned back to dodge, but halfway through, Aina twisted her wrist and pressed the hilt of her sword down hard, slamming it heavily into the young master's chest.

boom!

The young master's body crashed to the ground, shattering into a spider web.

So fast!

More than the physical pain, the young master was surprised.

But after the initial surprise came a surge of excitement, and my emotions soared.

Hiss~

A thunderous roar flashed past the Evil Eye, and the young master instantly rose to his feet, his spinning body propelling his lightning spear toward Aina.

Ding ding ding ding~

In the brief exchange, the clanging of weapons rang out one after another, and the starlight reflected the young master's surprised expression—Clang! The thunder spear was knocked away, and a large shoe sole came flying straight at him, slamming into his forehead.

boom! ~~

The young master's body flew backward and crashed into the wall at the edge of the square. Aina chased after him, and with a shove and a press of her elbow, she knocked the young master unconscious to the ground.

Aina glanced at him, her longsword flashing as she sheathed it. She then said to the guard beside her, "This man has drawn his sword in front of the Water God, which is a violation of the law. Take him to Mello Petersburg."

As the highest-ranking administrator of the Privy Council, Aina's influence was almost equal to that of Navelette. In Fontaine, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was second only to Navelette. The guards immediately accepted the order and carried it out.

“Lady Funina, Lord Ryder, I’m truly sorry that such a person spoiled our enjoyment. I will instruct the special patrol team to prevent this from happening again,” Aina said as she returned.

"Ha..." Funina clicked her tongue, thinking that it really didn't have to be like this.

However, she didn't actually have much of the Water God's authority in front of Aina, who had been there since she took office and was also Su Chen's secretary, so she knew her quite well.

"Lady Aina..." Clarind was still immersed in her deep admiration for Instructor Aina.

Su Chen waved his hand: "Alright, let's go first."

He was speechless at the young master's antics. It was a shame to suddenly act so stupidly, blocking the water god's path and proposing a duel. If it were Ningguang from Liyue, she would be laughing. Wasn't this a business opportunity delivered to her doorstep?

Let him stay in jail for a few days... Su Chen thought to himself.

We definitely need to save lives, but we've been very busy lately, so we won't let the young master cause any more trouble.

He had only taken a few steps when he saw Ying, Linni, and the others, as well as...

A rebellious son hiding behind the crowd, silently saying, "You can't see me."

“Mr. Linni, are you ready to step onto your stage?” Funina asked with a smile.

Linni bowed slightly: "Lady Funina, everything is ready."

"Hmm~ That's good. I hope your performance will be even more spectacular than the duel just now." Funina nodded in satisfaction. "And you, Traveler? Although I lost to you in the previous contest, I believe in your abilities and I'm sure you'll make today's stage even more dazzling."

Ying stretched out her hand: "One million Mora for the appearance fee."

Fu Ningna's expression froze.

"A god like you can't even afford a million Mora, can you?"

"Haha~ How could that be? Of course, as long as you perform well enough... Hmm!" Funina coughed lightly, "This deity is never stingy with her blessings for everyone."

Actually, she really doesn't have any money. Lady Funina has already overspent this month. Although she has a meticulous plan every month, she still overspends severely every month. Aina has mentioned this to her many times.

But who cares? With Ryder around this time, how can Cricket Aina possibly fight back?

With full confidence, he patted his chest, looking very magnanimous.

A million? I gave it to them!

"Inspector Su, Old Man Hein Ryder Chen, how could you abandon us like that!" Paimon complained to Su Chen.

Su Chen withdrew his gaze from his rebellious son and retorted with a simple sentence: "Stay in Fontainebleau for food and lodging, and send the bills to the Privy Council."

"Su Chen, we'll always be friends!"

The ending was a happy one for everyone.

Under the watchful eyes of the people, a group of people walked toward the opera house.

"Are we just going to ignore him?" Ying asked, walking beside Su Chen.

Su Chen said, "Never mind, I'm not going to die anyway."

Enter the opera house.

The performance had not officially started yet, and the people who came to watch the show gathered outside to wait.

“Lady Funina, Navelette is on the second floor. She asked me to come and discuss today’s trial with you,” a Meloshen said as she approached.

The trial of the Ten Thousand Laws Ritual was to be conducted by Funina and Su Chen, so how could Vilette feel at ease?

Therefore, it was agreed beforehand that the script would be reviewed first, and the trial would proceed according to the script to avoid mistakes.

"Hmph~ That guy actually questioned my judgment ability." Furina said with dissatisfaction, "Ryder, let's go see Vilette together."

Su Chen smiled and said, "You go ahead, I'll wander around the area."

"You won't see him?"

"We can meet anytime."

"Okay then, I'll go up first~"

Funina left with Melusin.

Linni was going to make final preparations for the performance, and Ying and Paimon were also called over.

“Lord Ryder,” Aina hesitated, “that young master just now…”

“You did the right thing.” Su Chen chuckled. “Sometimes it’s good to teach him a lesson, so he doesn’t keep going around challenging people and end up dying out there without even knowing it.”

Hearing him say that, Aina felt relieved.

"I'll go for a walk too, Aina, you don't need to come with me."

"Yes."

Aina stood there, watching Su Chen leave.

“Lady Aina,” Clorinde asked in confusion, “who exactly is this Ryder? As far as I know, he should be the Great Sage Hein of Mount Sumeru, but you and Lady Frinna both call him Ryder.”

A look of nostalgia appeared in Aina's eyes.
