Chapter 735 Thomas the Flag-Raising Ceremony

"We are already partners on the same front. If you need any help, you can call my name or come to Shenlifu to find me." Jiang Yi made a promise to Xiao Gong, "Whatever you think, I will hear it. I should be able to do basically anything under the God's authority."

"It sounds like you're just as powerful as you just showed." Xiao Gong leaned forward, "If I really have trouble, I won't hide it. I will really come to you for help - Mr. Monster."

"That would be the best." Jiang Yi waved and turned around without refutation of her address.

The red fireworks on the snow just now were so dazzling.

"Haha!" Paimeng looked at Jiang Yi. She bet with her little brain that if it were an ordinary boy, he would definitely not be treated like this.

"Goodbye, Xiao Palace." Ying smiled, turned around and followed Jiang Yi away with Paimeng.

"It seems like... I have met some extraordinary people!" Xiao Gong placed his hands on his chest and under his chin, looking at the backs of the three people.

"But I still hope that the other party's promise will not be used so soon." She looked at Master Zhengsheng, "Master Zhengsheng, let's find a secret place to hide and place you. If necessary, if you are discovered, pretend to be seriously injured and lie in bed and drink medicine."

"I understand!" Master Zhengsheng nodded.

Although he was dreaming about wanting to catch Kujo Sara again, from a realistic point of view, there was a great possibility that the other party would fulfill his words.

So, you need to be careful.

……

Mulou Teahouse, street ahead.

"Now that I think about it, the Kujo Sara of Tianling Bugeng seems to be a good person. At least he has the courage to admit their mistakes and is willing to make up for the mistakes of his subordinates and let us go." Paimeng said with his arms folded.

"Of course, this doesn't mean that I will approve of her executing the Eye Hunting Order, and also the fact that she didn't allow us to retaliate against the prison guards and wanted to leave no one behind!" she snorted.

"It's you three, please come in." The waiter of Mulou Tea House helped open the door.

The three of them greeted the dog named "Taromaru" on the counter inside and entered the box.

"Ayaka, we're back." Although they had only known each other for a short time, Paimon called out Kamisato Ayaka's name in a very familiar manner.

After all, she said they were already friends.

Ying quickly told Kamisato Ayaka and Thomas in the box what had happened.

During this process, the magical abilities displayed by Jiang Yi amazed the two of them.

"Did you meet Kujo Sara at the last moment?" Kamisato Ayaka looked at the three of them.

"Don't worry, we are all not injured. The Nine Saras were also defeated by Jiang Yi." Paimeng said with his arms crossed.

"That's good!" After hearing the whole story, Kamisato Ayaka breathed a sigh of relief, "It was Master Masakatsu who suffered. Fortunately, Jiang Yi was here to heal his wounds quickly."

Thomas stroked his chin and analyzed, coming to a conclusion similar to Paimon's: "Kujo Sara seems to have a reasonable side, but also a rigid side."

“It seems difficult to approach such people.”

He really wanted to extract information from the generals of the Kujo family, but this road seemed difficult.

"Yes!" Kamisato Ayaka nodded. "Kujo Sara is the executor of the Eye Hunting Order. She only obeys the orders of General Raiden. She hates anything that goes against the will of General Raiden. As the adopted son of the Tenryo Bugyo Kujo family, she will also protect the face of the Tenryo Bugyo when necessary."

"Master Zhengsheng cannot directly threaten the Eye Hunting Order, so she is willing to let Master Zhengsheng go."

"But your revenge on the prisoners means that she, as a person who follows the will of heaven, cannot remain indifferent."

"After this incident, she will probably start investigating the intruder this time. Jiang Yi's ability to repel her will definitely attract her attention. However, since you haven't revealed your identities, she probably won't be able to find you for a while, and even if she does, she won't have any evidence."

"As for Xiao Palace..."

"Yoya should have been exposed, but Yoya actually has a certain reputation in Inazuma. Many people are on good terms with the Naganohara Fireworks Shop and are willing to turn a blind eye."

"The people below haven't seen Xiao Gong, so they naturally won't make things difficult for him. Kujo Sara said that he would give up the pursuit this time, so he probably won't cause trouble for Xiao Gong."

Kamisato Ayaka thought carefully, "Next time, if we are exposed, Kujo Sara will probably be rude to us."

"Well! Master Zhengsheng was saved this time, which is a win for us." Thomas said, "Thanks to you, we are one step closer to the final victory!"

"You are a hundred times more reliable than we thought!" he praised.

Although Ying and Paimeng did not contribute much, they accepted it without hesitation. They and Jiang Yi were teammates, and the glory of their teammates was the glory of the entire team.

Jiang Yi was also very generous and allowed everyone to share his glory.

"Indeed, without your help, this rescue would not have been so smooth." Kamisato Ayaka held the fan, "But if we want to resist the Eye Hunting Order, what we have done now is not enough. We must start preparing. My future plans..."

Thomas waved his hand and looked at Kamisato Ayaka who was frowning. "Miss, don't be so nervous. At least everything is going in a good direction now. We successfully rescued the person from prison, and the number of our companions has also increased."

"Oh, yes, I also heard that Tianling Bugyo seems to be planning a 'celebration' recently..."

He scratched his head. "It seems to be some kind of 'ritual'. Anyway, there are fewer warriors on the streets carrying out the Eye Hunting Order. Now is a time of peace!"

"..." Jiang Yi saw that Thomas had planted the flag really quickly and fiercely.

When Kamisato Ayaka heard this news for the first time, she was confused: "The ceremony...? Why should it be handed over to the Tenryo Bugyo?"

Generally speaking, this is the power practiced by society.

"I don't know either, but it should have nothing to do with us. Anyway, they are very busy recently and should not have time to cause trouble for us." Thomas said very easily.

"No!" Jiang Yi sighed and had to interrupt. "In prison, I also heard the guards say that we need to obtain 100 real God's Eyes as soon as possible to perform the ritual. This ritual will be related to the God's Eye. You are the owners of the God's Eye, so you should pay attention."

"Oh, that's right!" Paimon also remembered that sentence.

"Oh! Is that so? Speaking of which, the number of God's eyes on the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue is approaching one hundred. Does that mean it is about to be completed in stages?" Thomas connected all the information in an instant.

"It seems that we must pay attention." He nodded slightly, but he was not very nervous. As a member of the society, it would basically not be their turn to receive the Eye Hunting Order unless it came to the final stage.

This is the power of the nobility and the protection of the nobility.

Jiang Yi looked at Thomas and said, "Why don't you draw a fortune here to see what your fortune will be like in the next few days? According to my fortune-telling skills, your forehead has turned black in the past two days, which means you are going to suffer a disaster! The disaster of losing the Eye of God."

"Ah, this!" Paimeng and Ying looked at Thomas' forehead. Jiang Yi's divination skills were comparable to Mona's, so they had to believe it.

"Does that mean Thomas will be in crisis?" Kamisato Ayaka understood.

"Me?" Thomas smiled bitterly, "I'm not that unlucky!"

"Then Thomas, you should just hide in the Mulou Teahouse for the time being! It's better to be safe than sorry." Kamisato Ayaka suggested.

"Okay! Okay!" Thomas spread his hands. "At a time like this, we do have to be more cautious. But without me, the affairs of Kamisato Prefecture..."

"I'll arrange it for someone else." said Kamisato Ayaka.

"Haha..." Thomas believed Jiang Yi's prediction. Such heroes from two countries would not do something without a purpose. "It seems that I may have to hold a luck-changing ceremony."

"How about we all eat hot pot together? It can be considered a celebration dinner!"

"Eating hot pot, you can also play 'hot pot games'. This is a way of playing that I just learned. It's very interesting."

"Everyone prepares different ingredients and puts them in the pot to cook. Then close your eyes and take turns to fish food out of the pot, taste it, and guess who put it in. The person who guesses correctly will trigger 'one more time', and the person with the highest score at the end will be blessed by the hot pot god and change their luck."

"Wow! That sounds interesting." Paimon nodded with a smile. She liked any game as long as it involved food.

"God of Hot Pot?" Jiang Yi felt that there probably wasn't such a god in Teyvat...right!

"Well! Staying nervous will only increase our fatigue. So let's do as Thomas said, take a good rest and perform a luck-changing ritual." Kamisato Ayaka agreed with the suggestion.

"I have already prepared all the materials!" Thomas said with a smile, "In fact, I have been waiting for you to come back to play this game since the beginning."

He left quickly and soon brought the hot pot soup base and various ingredients.

"You've really prepared everything. How badly do you want to play?" Paimeng looked at the various ingredients on the table in front of him, "Okay, we'll keep you company. Jiang Yi, Ying, let's prepare some ingredients as well. What do you think would be best?"

"An emergency food!" Jiang Yi blurted out.

"Get out!" Paimon stomped his feet.

"Then let me see... Well, just give some normal ingredients, apples, watermelons, sunset fruits... cut a small piece of each and put it in."

Watermelons from Teyvat have always been sold at fruit stalls, but Jiang Yi has never asked where they are from. However, Inazuma's watermelons are as expensive as those in a certain country in his previous life.

"Is this still a normal ingredient in a hot pot?" Paimon found it hard to imagine the sweet and spicy taste. "Obviously these fresh fish fillets, shrimps, and bamboo shoots are normal ingredients."

"Wow! Ying, what are you playing?" She suddenly turned her head.

“Devilish Jueyun Pepper, Super Salty Ham, Ice Mist Flower…” He recited them one by one, and his face instantly turned purple. “It feels… It feels like this is going to become a very scary hot pot…”

One minute later.

"Put it in place, let the hot pot game begin!" Thomas clapped his hands.

Paimon closed his eyes, his arms trembling: "Don't eat it, don't eat it..."

She felt that Jiang Yi’s ingredients were much more normal compared to Ying’s.

"Children's level dark cuisine!" Jiang Yi closed his eyes, full of disdain.

If it were just him, Thomas, and Paimon, he would let those two know what true darkness was.

Ying's eyebrows trembled slightly.

What is this weird, soft texture? It doesn't look like Jiang Yifang's fruit.

Kamisato Ayaka tasted some food that had a slightly crispy texture from the hot pot base.

Everyone took turns tasting and guessing.

After a long time.

For the newbie of dark cuisine, the rather thrilling hotpot time is over.

"That's it?" Jiang Yi generously gave up the opportunity to be favored by the God of Hot Pot.

"My stomach hurts so much! It feels like fireworks are going off in my stomach!" Thomas' forehead was covered with sweat. He covered his abdomen and exhaled the fragrance of the devilish Jueyun pepper.

"I didn't expect that Thomas got the highest score, and Jiang Yi was second." Paimon scratched his head, "Almost all the strange ingredients were eaten by you two, but Thomas ate a little more."

She looked at Jiang Yi, who looked calm and composed, and felt that her worry was in vain.

Turning to look at Thomas, "Are you okay, Thomas?"

"The second stele is half price!" Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at Thomas, almost wanting to promote the business of Wangsheng Hall.
