Chapter 465: Hearing Luo Li: I

A long silence ensued.

Raiden Ei finally stared straight at him, her hand beneath her sleeve gripping the edge of the table tightly.

"Do you guarantee that what you said has not a single error or omission, and that you have not deceived me?"

Hearing Luo Li was somewhat suspicious, but he could not hesitate now, or else it would imply that what he said was false.

So, without a second thought, he replied: "That's right, everything I said is true."

He had to speak with ironclad certainty to show his sincere side.

However, the moment he finished speaking, he heard a soft "pfft" of laughter coming from behind the screen next to Raiden Ei.

"???"

Hearing Luo Li was somewhat stunned; were there others here?

Before he could ask, the screen pulled open automatically.

Subsequently, Kitsune Saiguu and Yae Miko revealed themselves.

Hearing Luo Li: "..."

What is this, eavesdropping? A triple trial in the same hall?

What's going on?

He calmly signaled to Yae Miko, who had appeared, but received no feedback.

"Hiss, this girl, she wouldn't have really betrayed me, would she?"

Hearing Luo Li guessed to himself, feeling it seemed quite likely.

Otherwise, Miko and Kitsune Saiguu appearing here was truly a bit strange.

The situation was somewhat dire now; although he had anticipated the consequences of Miko's betrayal, he was still caught off guard when it actually happened.

Fortunately, he had rehearsed similar scenarios; while getting through it would be difficult, it wasn't entirely impossible.

Just like the personality Miko inherited from Kitsune Saiguu—a wicked nature that loves pranks—he could completely frame their discussion as the other party slandering him.

Regardless of whether Raiden Ei believed it, if he could get Raiden Makoto to help cover for him, it shouldn't be that there was no chance at all.

Thinking of this, he temporarily steadied his footing and took the initiative to greet them.

"Saiguu, long time no see."

Kitsune Saiguu gave him a strange look; because she knew in advance that this guy was safe and sound, seeing him now, while pleasantly surprised, she could barely remain calm.

"Oh my, I just thought of something funny, it disturbed you two catching up, Your Highness Hearing Luo Li, you wouldn't mind, would you?"

Hearing Luo Li: "..."

These words had the same effect as "I only feel bad for my brother," both sounding like they were in a teasing tone.

"Cough, cough, it's fine. By the way, why are you two here?"

Kitsune Saiguu giggled: "Just a coincidence, otherwise how could we see you return? And that last bit, it seems a bit different from what we heard."

As she spoke, she glanced at Yae Miko.

Hearing Luo Li naturally saw this look; needless to say, Miko had indeed betrayed him.

It was precisely at such a critical moment that he must not panic; he had to maintain his initial confidence and sincerity.

"Everything I said just now is true. I don't know what news you heard?"

Raiden Ei looked at him coldly and said: "Why is what Miko said completely different from what you said? You still want to lie to me."

Hearing Luo Li said without hesitation: "I don't know what news Miko spoke of, but this matter is exactly as I just described, without a shred of deception."

"It seems you won't turn back until you hit the south wall."

A strange luster flashed in Raiden Ei's eyes.

Immediately after, Hearing Luo Li saw Kitsune Saiguu's strange expression—wanting to laugh but forcibly holding it back.

He felt the ominous feeling he had sensed initially growing heavier, and subconsciously used his Herrscher ability to scan the inside of the Tenshukaku to see if there were any outsiders.

Because he hadn't expected any accidents at the beginning, nor would he be on guard against the familiar Tenshukaku, he had no defenses at all.

Now it seemed this was a trap set for him.

His divine sense swept across the entire Tenshukaku in an instant, and the next moment, Hearing Luo Li was stunned.

Behind the screen where Raiden Ei was located, he discovered an aura so familiar that it was as if they were one.

"Hiss! Makoto?!"

Just as he detected the secret behind the screen, the screen standing behind Raiden Ei suddenly swung open.

Sure enough, the figure of his main wife, Raiden Makoto, appeared right there.

"Ei, you are too impatient."

Murmuring softly, Raiden Makoto returned to her sister's side with a faint smile.

Hearing Luo Li was numb.

This was a real triple trial in the same hall.

"To be discovered in advance, this is no fun." Kitsune Saiguu muttered, fearing the world wouldn't be chaotic enough.

She had wanted to play with this guy a bit more before finally revealing the answer.

Looking at Hearing Luo Li, who was stunned for the first time, Raiden Makoto, who had revealed herself, had the corners of her eyes slightly upturned.

Raiden Ei stopped pretending, her voice turning increasingly cold: "Repeat what you just said one more time. Are you sure there isn't a shred of deception?"

Hearing Luo Li: "..."

How could he play this? Raiden Makoto appearing here meant his plan had completely collapsed.

He couldn't fathom how Makoto could have returned to the Tenshukaku before him.

If he remembered correctly, Makoto should still be in Liyue.

"Are you curious why your sister is here?"

Ei stared at him, the anger in her gaze gradually rising.

Hearing Luo Li asked dryly: "A little, indeed."

"Hmph, how could you possibly know? I went to Liyue myself to pick up my sister."

"..."

Went to Liyue herself to pick up Makoto... that meant the main problem didn't lie with Miko.

Hearing Luo Li reacted instantly; the root cause might have gone wrong back at Lumine's.

Are there nothing but double agents around me?!

Raiden Ei said coldly: "What else do you have to say?"

"..."

Meeting Raiden Makoto's gaze, Hearing Luo Li only saw her helpless expression.

Of course, it wasn't without gains; Makoto didn't entirely want to see him fall out with her sister.

No, rather, even if her sister was deceived, she wouldn't truly hate him.

"Just let Ei vent her anger."

Mouthing the words to him, Raiden Makoto winked playfully.

Hearing Luo Li: "..."

Vent her anger?

"Nothing left to say, right?!"

Raiden Ei stood up, her high and noble aura mixed with a volatile temper fully unleashed.

Hearing Luo Li finally understood why Ei's chest had been heaving and her fists clenched from the start.

From the moment they met, she had understood everything and had been watching him perform and weave lies.

"I'm numb, this is too hard to handle!"

Hearing Luo Li was dumbfounded; it turned out this was a trap. ===== CHAPTER 467 =====
