Chapter 723: The Pure and Innocent Princess Egret, the Gentleman Playboy

Ying and Paimon finally agreed to Kamisato Ayaka's request.

After all, compared to fighting against General Thunder, achieving these four little wishes is considered a "discount".

As for Jiang Yi's opinion...

"Just be happy! You can stay here and get along with the 'White Egret Princess'." Paimon said sourly, as if you were taking advantage of her.

I’m really curious why Kamisato Ayaka kept Jiang Yi, this “notorious” guy?

Can't eat it either.

"Be careful." Ying reminded.

"I know." Jiang Yi smiled. Although it was hard to guess what Ying was worried about, he just followed her instructions.

And be careful... Ying, you have already fallen into the opponent's "trap".

At this moment, the three of them were standing outside Kamisato Palace.

The leaves are swaying and the grass is lush.

"I'll see you off." Jiang Yi accompanied Ying towards the Guardian Forest.

Behind, Kamisato Prefecture.

"Miss, do you think that it is impossible to convince Master Jiang Yi for help just by looking at the situation of three people who have lost the Eye of God?" Thomas asked Kamisato Ayaka behind the screen.

Kamisato Ayaka walked out slowly: "No! I have seen his kindness in the matter of leaving the island. The International Chamber of Commerce and he are actually strangers, but for the merchants of the International Chamber of Commerce, he created the Yinmara Demon with a mysterious method to warn the tax collectors for generations."

The story of the island had spread, so she naturally knew the name of the ghost.

"I don't know how difficult it is, but it will definitely take a lot of thought and effort."

"Not killing, but punishment and education."

"He is a person who controls everything in the universe and has great supernatural powers. However, from being weak to being strong, he always has a kind heart and never acts recklessly or bullies the weak."

"He doesn't have the Eye of God, but through hard work, he is on par with the executive of Zhidong." There was a hint of admiration in Kamisato Ayaka's eyes. The more stories she heard about Jiang Yi, the more curious she became about him. She was curious about his experiences, his growth, and... his identity as a person from another world.

"At the Outlying Island Inspection Station, he clearly had the ability to bypass the rules to resolve the issue, but he followed the rules and asked you for help. This shows that he doesn't hate reasonable order. At the Far Country Inspection Station, when faced with unreasonable rules and inspections, he broke the rules without hesitation. This is the will to resist the unreasonableness that we need."

"In his heart, there is a chivalrous spirit to speak up for the merchants of the International Chamber of Commerce, empathy for the weak, and the integrity and sharpness to not tolerate oppression. Just like the way of the sword."

Kamisato Ayaka held the folding fan in her hand, "Breaking the rules at the same time does not mean leaving a mess... but a well-thought-out plan. This is wisdom."

"Thomas, you wrote in your previous letter that you were worried about his mental suggestion and hypnotic control ability." She shook her head, "I think his reputation as a 'playboy' is definitely not based on mental suggestion."

"If that's the case, he should have tried his best to conceal his ability instead of showing off his power of mental suggestion in front of you. Wouldn't that have put me on guard?"

"He is upright and honest, and he does not shy away from others. This is a reflection of his noble character, a heart as clear as a mirror, and his fearlessness of rumors from others."

Kamisato Ayaka looked out the window. "It is normal for outstanding people to be liked by many girls. It is even more admirable that they are bold enough to express their desires. This state is to be upright and clear-minded."

"In Mondstadt and Liyue, all the people who were rumored to have had affairs with him were extremely outstanding. If he had done something wrong, how come there were no reports in the newspapers? If he had done something wrong, how could he have concealed it so perfectly from the world?"

"Rumor has it that he obtained immortality in Liyue and was highly regarded by the immortals of Liyue."

"Can the vision of Liyue Immortal be wrong?"

"Liyue is a country of contract. Its gods are benevolent and kind. The immortals who obey the Rock God will not allow evildoers to use immortal laws to commit evil and violate the millennium-old principles of Liyue."

Kamisato Ayaka looked at the folding fan in her hand and said, "Toma, you said that he also held a folding fan in his hand, on which was written 'The Immortal Way values ​​life and saves people without limit'. Isn't this the way of the Liyue Immortals to protect the world and help people?"

"When a fan is in your hand, you often see it. If you write words on it, it often expresses your aspirations. If the words are written on the inside, it often warns yourself."

"I believe he is a gentleman."

Thomas scratched his head. The eldest lady said a lot and he couldn't get a word in. What could he say? How could he object?

"So, Miss, why did you keep Master Jiang Yi?" he asked.

"Accompany me to see all living beings. I will invite the immortals." Shenli Linghua opened the door and walked to another room. "Thomas, please ask Master Jiang Yi to wait in the courtyard. I will come later."

"Yes, Miss." Thomas turned around and went to inform Jiang Yi.

Kamisato Ayaka came to her study and opened newspapers one by one in the corner where she kept her secrets.

"Mond, the war dance that has been lost for 500 years has reappeared. Is the restorer a foreigner?"

Next to the text report is a photo.

That was Jiang Yi dancing with a sword and cutting a rose in front of everyone in Mondstadt Square. In front of the Winter Executioner and the Knights of Favonius, Jiang Yi was dancing with a two-handed sword with a young girl.

This was also the first time that Jiang Yi appeared on Steam Bird News.

It describes his experiences in Mondstadt, from a wanderer to a cook, to a swordsman who can fight against a hundred enemies alone. It is extremely inspiring.

"Restore the West Wind War Dancer. The situation is critical. The Mondstadt Knights are powerless in the face of the Wind Dragon!"

This newspaper also has a photo of a bloody figure falling from the sky under the head of the Wind Dragon.

In the back, there were various people in the newspapers, including the Knights of Favonius, the travelers Ying and Paimon, but there was undoubtedly a figure among them.

In Liyue, a flying sword master dressed in a green shirt was seen flying over the sea of ​​clouds at Tianheng Mountain and made the headlines in the newspapers.

"Liyue, flying sword? A manned sword, a secret weapon?"

"The Demon of the Whirlpool, the Traveler with the Seven Star Award."

"The duel at sea between the Winter Executioner and the Flying Sword Master."

The handsome man, with the sun hanging on his back, a stone whale under his feet, and a dragon wrapped around his body, walks on the sea, fighting against the demon king bathed in thunder.

This was one of several duels.

"The Honor Knights of Mondstadt and the Fatui fought under a falling star."

This is a battlefield of elemental light. A man in a wheelchair is commanding his troops to charge at the Fatui vanguard that is attacking him.

Kamisato Ayaka opened the last page of the newspaper, which was a candid photo taken by a reporter.

A distinguished man with a jade crown, black hair, feathered robe and sword was walking in the bamboo forest beside Yujingtai, playing a leaf flute.

"Finally, we're going to meet." Kamisato Ayaka's eyes were filled with anticipation. Although they had just communicated, if Jiang Yi and Ying couldn't see her behind the screen, she couldn't see Jiang Yi and Ying either.

We are familiar with each other, but we have never met face to face.

A row of fans of different styles and patterns are placed on the bookcase.

Kamisato Ayaka picked slowly. She often changed the fan in her hand. This time when she met Master Jiang Yi, she decided to choose again.

There are many styles of fans. Compared with Inazuma's summer fan or throwing fan, she prefers dancing fan or tea fan.

Tea fans are often placed between the host and the guest as a courtesy separator during tea ceremonies. The fan patterns include flowers and birds, landscapes, famous sayings related to the tea ceremony, as well as tea sets and snacks...

So, she thought about it and chose between her two favorite dance fans.

Dance fans usually have large areas of gold and silver pearlescent paper pasted on them, which look gorgeous under the light.

This golden and blue gradient is like a fusion of sunset and night, with water ripples and the fluttering petals of the Kamisato family's "Camellia" flower.

Holding the fan, Kamisato Ayaka adjusted her clothes and hair to show how seriously she took the meeting.

……

The garden of Kamisato Prefecture,

Jiang Yi saw Ying and Paimeng off and returned. He sat cross-legged on the ground, drinking the tea prepared by Thomas and looking towards the sea in the east.

Watching the waves rise and fall, the sky and the earth become one.

Crisp footsteps came from the side, it was the sound of wooden clogs tapping the ground.

"I kept you waiting."

The voice fell into his heart, soothing like falling cherry blossoms. Jiang Yi turned sideways and looked back.

A beautiful and dignified girl put down the fan that was covering her face and walked slowly towards them.

Like an egret treading water, like ice and snow returning to spring.

Gray-blue eyes with thick bangs above them, snow-white long hair tied into a high ponytail, and a gold-blue headdress similar to a samurai hood on the red hairband.

On both sides of the face are two tufts of hair hanging down like tassels, tied with red pigtails.

Her skin is as white as snow and as smooth as jade, and there is a small teardrop mole at the left corner of her eye.

The girl is wearing a white and blue gradient haori and a dark blue pleated skirt with patterns of falling cherry blossoms and flowing water printed on it.

As if ready to fight at any time, her chest and abdomen are wrapped in a black torso armor, and the connected skirt armor covers the sides of the skirt. The armor is printed with golden toon patterns. There is a red rope tied with a pigtail knot in front and back of the waist, and a necklace hangs down.

The girl bowed and walked past Jiang Yi. Her legs were as white as jade onions and flawless.

On the back, there is a huge blue-purple bow and a red pigtail knot, on which there is a frost-white divine eye that glows with the light of ice element.

Kamisato Ayaka turned around to face Jiang Yi and knelt down on the other side of the table.

The hem of the skirt blooms like a flower, covering the legs.

Thomas went forward to change the tea and walked to the side to wait for instructions.

"Not long." Jiang Yi smiled, "I saw it today. Miss Shen Li is extremely graceful, as elegant as a snow crane. The name 'White Egret Princess' is really appropriate."

"You are too kind, sir." Kamisato Ayaka sat upright, her snow-white hair slightly blown by the sea breeze. "Just call me Ayaka."

"Ah! And just now... Not meeting you doesn't mean I have any opinion about you, nor does it mean I don't agree with Miss Ying and Paimon."

She suddenly came to her senses. She had refused the meeting before, but now she suddenly met Jiang Yi.

Is this too rude to Ying and Paimon?

I really shouldn't change my mind on a whim.

"I just... just... suddenly, I felt that it wasn't good to leave you outside and continue communicating through the screen..." Kamisato Ayaka was a little distressed, feeling that the more she explained, the worse it would get.

"It's okay." Jiang Yi smiled gently, "I believe that when Ying and Paimeng come back, Miss Linghua will definitely treat all of us as friends and will show her true face to Ying and Paimeng."

"This time, I will eat alone."

Her anxious heart was beating slightly. Kamisato Ayaka took a deep breath, let out a sigh of relief, and half-covered her face with the fan.

"'Eating alone', Master Jiang Yi's metaphor is really interesting." She secretly told herself to stay calm. What was done was done, there was no point in regretting it.

Jiang Yi sat upright and said, "So, Miss Linghua, what are you going to discuss with me, what are you going to show me?"
