Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

"I've never seen it before, I don't know..." Sora turned her head and looked at him with a puzzled expression. "You seem very worried about this?"

"Hmm. I'm worried that the Abyss Cult has corrupted Thor with Abyss power, causing his personality to change drastically. So far, we haven't heard anything about the Abyss Cult making any moves in Inazuma..."

Dvalin's personality changed drastically after being contaminated, bringing a huge disaster to Mondstadt.

The defiled, reversed statue of the deity also left a certain shadow on Jiang Bai, and the calamities caused by the deity being corrupted are unimaginable.

Kong didn't say anything, but subconsciously thought of his younger sister.

The younger sister is defying the laws of nature, but what about the gods? Are they also within the scope of her conflict?

Does she know what she's doing?

"If that's the case, I will definitely restore Him to his original state!"

Chapter 466 Handing out a flyer first upon meeting

The next day at daybreak, Ryoto Kamisato, having packed his belongings, led the two of them to Narukami Shrine.

Because it was a private meeting, not a normal business meeting, Ryoto Kamisato did not bring any attendants and traveled lightly on foot to Mount Kagehiko.

"The road to Narukami Shrine is rugged and difficult to travel, so you all must stay close to me."

Is it difficult to walk?

Jiang Bai looked up and, through the gaps in the branches of the trees, caught a glimpse of the rooftop building at the highest point of the mountain.

This shrine, located at the highest point of Narukami Island, is surrounded by a faint purple lightning glow, giving it an air of mystery.

"For ordinary people, going to Narukami Shrine is difficult, but for you, it's just ordinary."

Ryoujin walked with a steady gait, maintaining his elegant demeanor even while traversing rugged mountain paths.

Paimon caught sight of a large cliff on the road ahead, a cliff that no ordinary person could climb.

Why was Narukami Taisha built in such a difficult-to-access location?

Shinri Ryouren chuckled, "Naturally, it's to avoid worldly troubles."

Since it is a transcendent place, one must go through many hardships to reach it; otherwise, how can the people's worship and faith be demonstrated?

"The shrine shouldn't be involved in Inazuma's political affairs, right?" Jiang Bai asked Kamisato Ryoto as they walked, inquiring about the priest he mentioned.

"Narukami Taisha has a special status and doesn't participate in Inazuma's affairs. However, given Yaehime's abilities, she must be fully aware of Inazuma's current situation..."

Jiang Bai was a little unsure of the High Priest's opinion on Inazuma's current situation, but since Shinri Ryoto said she could offer some help, she probably didn't agree with it.

But if you disagree, can't you, as a member of the family, directly offer your suggestions to Thor?

After arriving at the summit of Mount Kagemachi and passing through numerous torii gates, Narukami Taisha Shrine came into view.

A massive cherry blossom tree enveloped the entire shrine, its crimson petals fluttering in the air. Several white lanterns swayed gently in the breeze, while the main hall, painted red with special pigments, stood majestically and solemnly, exuding a sense of sacredness.

"Wow, this is Narukami Taisha Shrine!"

Paimon was quite excited when he first saw the shrine.

"After you've met with Lord Hachina, why don't you all get a fortune slip? The fortune slips at the shrine are very accurate," Ayato Kamisato said with a warm smile.

"It works really well? Then we can give it a try."

It was early morning, and apart from the shrine maidens, there were no worshippers at the shrine, making it quite serene.

Ryoto Kamisato was clearly a frequent visitor and knew the place well. Under his guidance, the group arrived at the giant cherry blossom tree and soon met Lord Yaeguchi.

The Yae no Miko dismissed the other shrine maidens and stood alone under the sacred cherry tree, dressed in a specially made shrine maiden outfit. Her long pink hair hung down her back, and her large ears drooped down, adorned with two uniquely designed earrings.

Jiang Bai's gaze lingered briefly on Yae no Miko before settling on the enormous divine cherry tree.

This sacred cherry tree is quite large; its enormous canopy, covering the entire shrine, is covered in cherry blossoms, with not a single green leaf in sight. Cherry blossoms drift down from the tree, some falling to the ground one by one, while others transform into clusters of cherry blossoms floating in the air.

Jiang Bai felt that this tree was about the same size as the tree at Wangshu Inn, but its shape was quite unique, resembling a large fox.

"Mr. Yashiro."

Hearing the voice, Yae no Miko already knew they were coming. She turned around, her gaze first falling on the three strangers and then looking them over before finally looking at Kamisato Ryouto.

"Hey, isn't this the kid from the Kamisato family? What brings you here today? And you've brought three strange strangers with you."

"Huh, how did you know we're strangers?" Paimon asked, quite surprised.

"Of course it's because you carry an aura that doesn't belong to Inazuma."

Yae no Miko crossed her arms and sighed, "Inazuma these days is like a stagnant pool. I haven't seen anyone as vibrant as you in a long time."

"It seems that even Lord Yaehime doesn't like Inazuma now." Hearing this, Paimon immediately felt that their trip was going to be a success.

"I may not have said anything like that." Yae no Miko, who had guessed their intentions at a glance, smiled without saying a word.

Paimon scratched his head, "But that's exactly what you meant..."

Yae no Miko glanced at her with a smile, then stopped teasing her and looked at Kamisato Ryouto.

"Young man from the Kamisato family, quickly introduce these guests from afar to me."

"I'm sure you've all heard of their great names by now. This is the Traveler who saved Mondstadt during the Dragon Plague and suppressed the Demon God in Liyue, along with his companion Paimon. This is Jiang Bai, who defeated the Fatui Enforcers."

Jiang Bai was somewhat dissatisfied with this introduction. Although it was indeed him who did it, wouldn't saying it like this meant that he was very good at fighting and that they wanted him to restrain the Fool's Enforcers?

He is a peace-loving person, how could he fight with people so casually?

"What do you mean by defeating the executors of the Fools? That's a lie! I'm just an ordinary employee of the Rebirth Hall. I'm here in Inazuma to expand our business. How about learning about the Rebirth Hall's overseas operations?"

Jiang Bai handed a flyer to both Yae no Miko and Kamisato Ayato.

The two people who were given flyers were stunned for a while.

They've reached such a level that no one dares to hand them flyers anymore, especially since the flyers advertise funeral services.

Yae no Miko picked up the flyer, glanced at it, and a playful smile appeared on her lips.

"Oh dear, it's been so long since anyone handed me a flyer, especially this kind. Little one, aren't you afraid I'll get angry?"

As she spoke, an aura of a powerful demon descended, and the smile on her face looked dangerous no matter how you looked at it.

Paimon leaned back, creating some distance, "Such a powerful aura!"

"Don't worry, I have my big brother protecting me!"

Jiang Bai immediately flashed behind Kong, giving off an air of "If you want to mess with me, you'll have to get past my older brother first."

What a joke! It's just handing out a flyer, how could they kill him?

Yae no Miko looked at the sky with a smile.

null:"......"

Why did he have to suffer this undeserved misfortune?

"Hehe, what interesting little guys."

Ayato Kamisato put away the flyer and spoke up to defuse the situation, "Lord Yae no Hiroshi won't get angry over something like this."

Yae no Miko covered her mouth and chuckled, "Just kidding, you're all very famous people! May I ask what brings you here to see me?"

The somber mood vanished instantly, and Paimon patted his chest, letting out a long sigh of relief.

"I heard you know General Thunder the best. We want General Thunder to cancel the Eye Hunt Order and the Isolation Order. Can you help us?" She bluntly stated her purpose.

"It's been a long time since I've seen the general."

Chapter 467 My Naive Old Friend

"Huh? Why?"

"She's like a little child, locking herself in a small room and refusing to see anyone, she's incredibly stubborn."

"Huh?" Jiang Bai and the other two were completely dumbfounded by Yae no Miko's words. Even Shinri Ryoujin was somewhat confused.

"Isn't General Raiden in the castle tower? Why do you say he's locked up? And like a child?"

Yae no Miko smiled but remained silent, offering no answer to the question.

"Since you've come to me, you must have already grasped the current situation. So, what are you planning to do?"

She looked at the crowd with considerable interest, wondering what kind of response they would give.

"The Kansei Magistrate and the Tenryo Magistrate, for their own selfish reasons, vigorously promoted the Eye-Hunting Edict and the Isolation Edict, causing hardship for the people and inciting a rebellion on Umijima Island. Furthermore, the Fools were involved and constantly disrupted the situation in Inazuma..."

Ryoto Kamisato had long known that the Inazuma leadership had been infiltrated by the Fools, but the magistrate was too weak to do anything about it.

He briefly explained the plan that had been discussed yesterday.

"We intend to inform the General that the Commissioner of Investigation and Determination is colluding with the Fools of Heaven's Territory, so that the General may see the will of the people and thus change his mind..."

Yae no Miko pondered for a moment, resting her chin on her hand. "The general's will is not so easily changed, but it's not a bad idea to give it a try."

"Do you have any ideas?" Paimon asked.

Yae no Miko looked at Kamisato Ryouto, "What I'm about to say is not something you can hear. If you don't want to know too much and get yourself into trouble, you can stay here."

“Then Aya will leave now and may call me at any time.”

Shinri Ryouren stood up and left.

"Why should we let him go?" Paimon scratched his head.

Yae no Miko, wearing wooden clogs, walked to the sacred cherry tree. "Because what follows is not suitable for him to know. That kid is too smart, and I don't like people who are too smart."

She looked up at the sacred cherry tree in front of her, her tone filled with anticipation.

"I can sense that you are all special people, and perhaps you can bring new hope to this lifeless sea."

"It seems our hero is about to shine again." Jiang Bai looked at Kong with a mocking expression.

She crossed her arms and looked at him speechlessly. "You're included in this too. Also, call me big brother."

Jiang Bai looked up at the sky, pretending not to hear.

Seeing the two of them joking around, Paimon finally took on the responsibility of asking the question, "What does Lord Yachino mean by this?"

Yae no Miko turned around. “Just as you said, Inazuma appears to be indestructible on the outside, but it is in complete chaos on the inside. Even if we drive out the Fools and purge the two magistrates, it will only be a temporary solution.”

"You want to save the Inazuma people under the Eye Hunting Order, and so do I. I just want to save this country as well, and save her as well."

"she?"

“My friend, whose name is Shadow—the true Thunder General.”

"The real General Thunder? Could there be a fake General Thunder?" Paimon scratched his head, feeling the situation was becoming increasingly confusing.

"Of course there is no fake General Thunder, it's just that Shadow has hidden himself."

Jiang Bai immediately understood why Yae no Miko wanted Kamisato Ayato to leave. If people found out that the one in the castle tower wasn't the real Raiden General, things would get really bad.

"Then how do we find Ying?" Jiang Bai asked.

Instead of answering the question directly, Yae no Miko pointed out the biggest problem in their original plan.

"Your previous idea that she would see the will of the people and change her mind is unlikely to be very successful."

"Because she can't see?"

Jiang Bai felt this was already a very feasible method. But this was based on the premise that General Lei Dian was indeed General Lei Dian.

"Hmm." Yae nods gently.

"The one who sits in the castle tower is not her, but a puppet that is recklessly rushing towards eternity."

"A doll?"

A flash of lightning struck Jiang Bai's mind, and he suddenly thought of the stragglers.

Judging from the skirmisher's complicated attitude towards Thor and his obsession with being abandoned, could he have been created by Thor and then abandoned?

My good friend, Ying, believes:

"Before pursuing the eternity of this nation, one must first touch upon eternity oneself."

"The body will eventually return to dust, so it will be replaced by the body of a [doll]. The spirit will also inevitably wear down, so she will place her consciousness in her sword and use meditation to avoid all disturbances."

"She shut herself off in her own world, leaving all the complicated things in the outside world to that puppet who only knows how to rush towards eternity at all costs."

Yae no Miko sighed, "This is the eternal path she has discovered."
