Chapter 445

"Woo... so sad..."

Yae Miko wiped the non-existent tears from the corner of her eyes, putting on a look of deep sorrow.

Jiang Yan made no move; he crossed his arms and even felt like laughing.

The fox's acting still needs improvement.

"Sigh, what a heartless person..."

Seeing that her acting had no effect, Yae Miko could only sigh helplessly.

"Alright, we'll see about that when the time comes."

"Maybe one day I'll suddenly have a burst of inspiration and be able to write one?"

Jiang Yan smiled and finally decided to stop teasing Miko.

Sigh, the pink-haired fox was better to pet when she was little; even though she doesn't have so many schemes now that she's grown up, she's still a bit too much of a rascal.

Jiang Yan felt a bit regretful.

"Mm-hmm, then I'll just wait eagerly for the good news from my lord Tianquan?"

Yae Miko's face immediately lit up with a smile, and even her two pink fox ears twitched slightly twice.

"When you write it, you must send it to me!"

"Hehehe, definitely, definitely."

Jiang Yan said with a chuckle.

Anyway, he was too lazy to write; whenever he suddenly had an idea, he could write it then.

"Mm~ then I'm off?"

Miko stretched, revealing her graceful curves.

"Mm, take care on your journey."

Afterwards, Jiang Yan watched as Yae Miko boarded the ship.

However, after Yae Miko boarded the ship, a small figure suddenly ran down from it.

She then threw her arms around Jiang Yan.

"What's wrong, little one?"

Jiang Yan looked at the little Ayaka who had thrown herself into his arms and asked softly.

"Brother Jiang Yan didn't say goodbye to me."

Little Ayaka's tone carried a hint of grievance, as if Jiang Yan had bullied her.

"How could that be? I just finished chatting with your Oyakata sister, and I was just about to go on the ship to find you."

Jiang Yan gently rubbed little Ayaka's head and said with a smile.

"Really?"

Little Ayaka looked up, her eyes sparkling.

"Of course."

Jiang Yan smiled and nodded.

Comforting children was something he was extremely good at.

After chatting with little Ayaka for a while, Kamisato Ayato poked his small head out from the ship.

"Ayaka, we're leaving."

"Come up quickly, come up quickly!"

Kamisato Ayato shouted loudly.

"Then Brother Jiang Yan, I'm leaving."

Little Ayaka nodded to Ayato, then turned to Jiang Yan and said:

"Mm, go quickly."

Jiang Yan waved to Kamisato Ayaka and said:

"Take care on your journey."

Afterwards, under Jiang Yan's gaze, the massive black ship raised its sails and set off, slowly heading towards Inazuma.

"Inazuma..."

Jiang Yan sighed lightly, turned his head, and walked towards the streets of Liyue.

On the ship heading to Inazuma.

"Oyakata Yae, the wind outside is strong; please move to the cabin to rest."

"The family has already prepared a room for you."

On the deck, the head of the Kamisato family said respectfully to Yae Miko.

"You are too kind, Lady of the House; no need for such trouble, as it was I who rudely came to disturb you."

Yae Miko said to the head of the Kamisato family with a smile.

"It is my duty."

The head of the Kamisato family replied, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.

"Head of the Kamisato family, tell me, what kind of person is Liyue's Tianquan?"

Yae Miko gazed at the endless sea and asked softly.

The head of the Kamisato family pondered for a moment before finally speaking:

"From our brief one-day contact, Liyue's my lord Tianquan is impeccable in both etiquette and conduct, as well as in that gentle and humble attitude."

"Not only is he gentle towards children like Ayaka, but even the common people of Liyue hold this my lord Tianquan in great affection."

"In short, based on our contact so far, this legendary Tianquan of Liyue, who is said to share the longevity of the nation, is indeed a person worthy of admiration."

"Gentle and modest."

"If the gods of the Archon War era or the Ruler of the Abyss were to learn of this, they'd absolutely laugh their heads off."

"That kid, gentle and modest?"

"Heh!"

"When he was driving a giant Buddha at me and beating the hell out of me, I didn't see him being gentle or modest anywhere!"

"When that kid punched me to pieces, I didn't see him being tender either."

"The reason Jiang Yan's fame in the hearts of Liyue's common folk could reach the point of standing shoulder to shoulder with Morax is not just because of a thousand years of governance."

"It was also something he truly fought his way to."

"There's a saying in Liyue as well."

"No matter what crisis Liyue faces, as long as the Immortal Lord and the Geo Archon are here, the land of Liyue will never be overturned!"

"I see, is that what you think?"

Yae Miko murmured, her body leaning against the railing at the ship's edge, resting her chin on her hand.

"Yes, that's exactly the kind of person he is."

"Yet when it comes to matters of the heart, he's like a turtle shrinking back into its shell, cowering and refusing to advance."

"It really is infuriating to watch."

The head of the Kamisato clan lowered his head; he knew it was best to pretend he hadn't heard any of this.

"After all, this is the Tianquan's private matter — he mustn't presume to interject."

"Lady Yae Gujisi, I'll take my leave now. Please remember to return to your cabin to rest later."

The head of the Kamisato clan said deferentially.

"Mm, I understand."

Yae Miko smiled and nodded to the head of the Kamisato clan.

Afterwards, Yae Miko watched the head of the Kamisato clan depart, then turned her head back and continued gazing at the boundless sea.

"However..."

Yae Miko suddenly revealed a mischievous little smile.

"It's not like there was no gain at all..."

"At the very least, regarding that most crucial person, I've already learned her thoughts."
