Chapter 283

Lumine was the same; she really wanted to escape from here, but she knew it wasn't realistic. Instead of thinking about leaving quickly, she should think about how to get him to forgive her.

From birth until now, she had never been a turncoat; it could be said she had unlocked her first experience.

Kamisato Ayaka saw that the two were quite familiar with each other, and was stunned for a moment, curiosity surging in her heart.

Previously, His Excellency Luo said the Traveler had betrayed him. It seemed they had known each other for a long time, but it was unclear where this connection came from.

At this moment, she had long forgotten the unequal treaty she had promised Luo Li.

Because after getting along, the young lady found that Luo Li was actually quite easy to talk to, a world of difference from the ruthless god sitting high in the nine heavens in her impression.

It was precisely this easygoing nature that made her forget about the potentially unspeakable future...

"Since we last met, I didn't expect you to leave me such a big surprise."

Facing Luo Li's words, Lumine guiltily turned her head away.

Just in time to see Paimon playing dead to reduce her presence, a flash of inspiration struck her.

"It's not my fault! It's Paimon's fault, she's the one who said it all!"

"Eh! Traveler, what are you saying? I don't understand!"

Paimon was startled and quickly defended herself: "I'm still just a child, I don't know anything!"

Lumine couldn't help but roll her eyes. Paimon was truly shameless to be able to say such things.

Seeing the two pushing responsibility onto each other, Luo Li laughed and said, "Alright, I've already forgiven you. I know you were acting out of necessity at the time."

Hearing this, the two were shocked, looking him up and down with eyes as if they were meeting him for the first time.

"Is this still the Mr. Luo Li I know?"

Paimon added, "Could it be that he's been replaced?"

"The price you should have paid has already been paid by someone else. Don't think that just because I'm easy to talk to, you can mutter to your faces."

Luo Li interrupted the two, his eyes flashing with a look that still wanted to find a handle to retaliate.

The two immediately fell silent.

At the same time, they blessed the kind person who paid the price for them, hoping there would be more such good people.

Kamisato Ayaka, on the side, covered her face with a fan, revealing a shallow smile.

The relationship between His Excellency Luo and the Traveler seemed much better than she had imagined, and she couldn't help but wonder what had happened before.

"We were wrong, Mr. Luo Li, please don't mind."

Truly being here and seeing him sitting in the place where the Raiden Shogun used to be, Lumine and Paimon finally felt the reality of his noble status.

Perhaps because they first met in Mondstadt, where he and Makoto were approachable, enjoying themselves in a manor.

Now, it was difficult to feel the respect of looking up at a high mountain, just like Zhongli, who had been traveling with them for a long time.

They called him the Geo Archon, but the two couldn't view that guy as a god at all; calling him a friend was about right.

"Cough, cough, Mr. Luo Li, since you've already forgiven us, I wonder if there's anything else you need us to do?" Lumine asked cautiously.

Although she didn't particularly refuse to be a tool, she had just finished a big task and didn't want to have anything to do with Luo Li for the time being. If she were pitted again, she wouldn't even have a place to reason.

Not caring about the two's offensive actions, Luo Li laughed lightly: "It's not really a command, just one thing I want to inform you about."

Just as Lumine breathed a sigh of relief, she heard his next sentence.

"It's about your brother."

Brother?

Lumine was stunned for a moment, immediately staring at him tightly, looking forward to what he would say next.

Who knew Luo Li would whet her appetite and deliberately stop talking.

Clearly, although he said he had forgiven her, his actual actions were still a bit insincere.

Just kidding, although he had gained a huge advantage from the result.

But that was because the main wife, Raiden Makoto, was quite capable; otherwise, he would definitely have been hacked.

For this, Lumine and Paimon, who bore the main responsibility, being appropriately targeted by him was within reason.

Lumine scratched her cheek, showing a troubled look: "Mr. Luo Li, for the sake of how much I've helped you, please don't keep me in suspense."

Seeming to recall the time they parted, the blonde girl's emotions sank.

Seeing her low spirits, Luo Li stopped while he was ahead.

After poking at her shortcomings, his mood felt much better, and he immediately said.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Previously, when I was in Enkanomiya on Watatsumi Island, I saw your brother himself, leading the Abyss Order and wanting to do some small things to the Three Realms of Enkanomiya."

"I stopped him in the process, but it's inevitable that he might have left some traces and clues. Maybe you can go and look for them; you might discover something."

Enkanomiya?

Lumine's expression became serious. This was the closest she had been to her brother again, and at the same time, she couldn't hold back her curiosity.

"You saw my brother with your own eyes?"

"Aether, right? A calm, blonde boy."

Knowing Luo Li wouldn't lie to her, hearing her brother's name from his mouth still made Lumine's heart surge.

Back in Mondstadt, she had personally seen her brother with Dainsleif at the upside-down Statue of the Seven and had a conversation.

But she never expected her brother to also become a riddle-maker, telling her to experience the journey and then make her own choice.

Lumine couldn't be more depressed.

"Understood, I will go to Enkanomiya."

Anything related to Aether, Lumine would never give up pursuing.

Luo Li nodded: "It shouldn't be that easy for you to enter the current Enkanomiya. Before you go, see Kokomi first, and bring a message for me."

He hadn't forgotten that cheap daughter; who wouldn't like a well-behaved little cotton-padded jacket who was always thinking of him, it was just that she was always thinking about letting him sow seeds for her, which was a bit of a headache.

"What message?"

"The Tenryou Commission is currently holding a ritual for my return. Tell her to lead her trusted aides to attend the ceremony, and by the way, I will announce a piece of news."

The grievances between Watatsumi Island and Narukami Island should have been settled long ago. If he hadn't fallen into the Abyss, perhaps the two places would already be as close as one family.

Unfortunately, after five hundred years of wasted time, Ei hadn't even thought about actively promoting the integration of the two sides.

Luo Li certainly couldn't blame Ei, so he could only push the blame onto the Fatui and the Abyss Order.

How could my Ei-bao be wrong?

Lumine was quite surprised. She had experienced the war between the two sides; wouldn't this cause trouble?

Looking at the expression in Luo Li's eyes, she already had a premonition of what this guy intended to announce. It was probably a high-intensity integration of the people from both places, right?

Are you gods all so willful?

First there was Zhongli issuing exams to test scores, then there was Raiden Ei blackening and locking the country because of a family ethics drama.

Immediately after, she ran into you wanting to do something big, regardless of whether the people of Inazuma could accept it.

You guys are truly Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick.

Luo Li naturally wouldn't care about the opinions of ordinary people, because resistance was a certain fact, and this would never change.

The importance lay in the grinding and running-in. If even the first step hadn't been taken, the so-called integration was just a reflection of flowers in a mirror, a joke that was just talk.

Only by truly putting it into practice, waiting for many contradictions to erupt and then solving them, and as time slowly passes, these estrangements will eventually disappear.

The only difficulty was that one needed to gather the population with fewer contradictions together first.

For example, the sparsely populated Yashiori Island, which just happened to lack immigrants...
