Chapter 524

Except for Sara, no one heard clearly what she said to herself.

After Jiang Yan left, Ganyu had been cautiously on guard around them.

After all, this place is deep within the mountains and forests; scattered monsters are certainly present.

However, with Apep here, Ganyu was not worried about any danger befalling herself and the three little ones of Ningguang.

Before long, a dazzling seven-colored light radiated from the direction Jiang Yan had departed.

Ganyu instantly recognized it as the light that blooms from Jiang Yan when he activates his ability.

Accompanied by a powerful roar, a large area of trees nearby Ganyu was shattered.

"That is... Master's doing?"

Little Shenhe, having once seen Jiang Yan activate his Dual Star Mode, asked Ganyu with some confusion.

"Mm, but judging by this, it seems nothing is wrong."

Ganyu gently patted Shenhe's small head and said softly.

Regarding Jiang Yan's strength, she was still very reassured.

After all, if Jiang Yan were truly locked in a bitter battle, this mere distance could not block the so-called aftereffects of the fight.

Not long after, a sound of footsteps rang out.

There, Jiang Yan, holding the hand of a little girl, slowly walked out from the woods.

"Master!"

The three little ones of Ningguang, voices filled with joy, threw themselves into Jiang Yan's arms.

"Didn't keep you waiting, did I?"

Jiang Yan hugged the little Ningguang and the others, a smile on his face; then, he raised his head and asked Ganyu.

Ganyu shook her head, looking at Sara beside Jiang Yan.

"Who is this?"

She asked Jiang Yan with some confusion.

"Ah, her name is Sara."

Jiang Yan patted Sara's small head beside him and explained to Ganyu what had just happened.

After listening, Ganyu fell silent.

She looked at Jiang Yan, then glanced at the little Sara beside him who was curiously watching her.

"Ah Yan, as expected of you."

After a long while, Ganyu finally managed to squeeze out those words.

How do you manage to bring back a little girl every time you go out?

If it weren't that she was already carrying Jiang Yan's child, Ganyu might have even thought Jiang Yan had some special fetish.

That kind of fetish is not something to have.

Ganyu looked at Jiang Yan with some strangeness.

"Ah Yan... do you have...?"

"Huh?"

Jiang Yan, not catching on, looked at her with a face full of confusion.

"N-nothing."

In the end, Ganyu did not say the rest.

Seeing Ganyu's look of wanting to speak but holding back, Jiang Yan was somewhat at a loss.

"Big brother, does big sister not like me?"

Little Sara's tone carried disappointment.

Seeing Ganyu's strange expression from the moment she saw her, she thought Ganyu did not like her.

Hearing Little Sara's words, Ganyu realized her own appearance just now had caused Little Sara to misunderstand.

"How could that be."

Before Jiang Yan could speak, Ganyu had already scooped Little Sara into her arms, smiling as she said.

"Big sister likes Little Sara very much."

"Really?"

Little Sara looked at Ganyu with her innocent, wide eyes.

"Of course."

Ganyu nodded with a smile, then rubbed Little Sara's head.

"Alright, since you're pregnant, I'll carry the little one."

Jiang Yan reached out and took Little Sara from Ganyu's arms, smiling as he spoke to her.

"Let's go; the Yashiro Commission should not be far from here."

Ganyu nodded and came to Jiang Yan's side.

Just then, the Little Ningguang standing on the other side spoke up.

"Master, can Sister Sara come down and play with us?"

Ningguang looked at Jiang Yan with her watery, big eyes.

Since this little sister arrived, the three little ones of Ningguang have not properly introduced themselves yet.

"Okay."

Seeing the three little ones' expectant expressions, Jiang Yan also smiled, rubbed Little Ningguang's head, and set Little Sara down.

With Little Ningguang taking the lead, Little Sara quickly integrated into their little trio.

From then on, the trio successfully evolved into a quartet.

In short, the Four Little Ningguangs!

Before long, Jiang Yan, accompanied by Little Ganyu and the Four Little Ningguangs, walked out of the mountain path and arrived at an open space not far from the Yashiro Commission.

As Jiang Yan's group walked along the road, they could even see the Yashiro Commission buildings growing ever closer.

"Halt! This is the residence of the Kamisato Clan of the Yashiro Commission in Inazuma; outsiders are forbidden entry!"

Just as they reached the gate, several shogunate soldiers clad in armor and holding long spears blocked Jiang Yan's group.

The last time Jiang Yan had visited the Yashiro Commission was thousands of years ago, when Inazuma had just been founded.

How could these soldiers possibly have seen him?

Jiang Yan smiled and spoke to the soldiers blocking his path.

"Greetings, may I ask if the head of the Kamisato family is in?"

Jiang Yan did not directly mention Little Ayaka's name; doing so would have been foolish.

Which my lord would idly return to seek out a little girl?

That would be like having the words "sinister intentions" written all over one's face.

Jiang Yan's tone was very gentle, and he did not appear to be looking for trouble.

The soldiers' expressions relaxed slightly, but they did not lower their guard.

"The head of the family is currently attending to affairs. May I ask what your business is?"

The soldier spoke to Jiang Yan.

The man before them was dressed in extraordinary attire, and he had immediately asked whether the head of the family was at home; he must be acquainted with the head of the family.

Therefore, the soldier inquired about Jiang Yan's reason for seeking the Kamisato head of the family to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings.

Since the Kamisato family was attacked a year ago, the head of the Kamisato family conducted a major purge within the Yashiro Commission.

Almost everyone was implicated to varying degrees.

The soldiers before them had all been promoted by the head of the Kamisato family just recently.

With the precedent set by their predecessors, these newly promoted soldiers naturally dared not slack off in their duties.

"It is not a matter of great importance."

Jiang Yan's smile did not fade as he said:

"Please trouble you to report to the head of the Kamisato family that a friend from Liyue has come to visit."

"I believe by then your head of the family will know who I am."

The two soldiers exchanged a glance.

A friend from Liyue?
