Chapter 229: Past Events (Female Figure)
"Sorry, are you okay?" Reaching out to pull Chen Yue up from the ground, a hint of apology appeared in Ying's eyes.
"It's not a big deal, just a fatal injury, it will be fine after a while."
Chen Yue's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a bitter smile. Although he tried to appear calm, the waves of pain in his back reminded him all the time how fierce the thrilling blow just now was.
"Although we are just exchanging skills with each other, your attack is a bit too much. Fortunately, I am lucky, otherwise I would have died here today." Chen Yue forced a smile and teased in a nonchalant manner, trying to break the suffocating tense atmosphere.
However, Ying's tone was still as cold as ice: "You should know that I have never known how to show mercy, so I am not very sure about the control of strength."
Despite this, Chen Yue keenly captured the subtle concern in her words.
Chen Yue knew Ying's personality very well. Although this shadow warrior looked cold and heartless on the outside, he actually had an unspeakable tenderness deep in his heart.
"Of course I understand. Every time we fight, we give it our all without reservation." Chen Yue waved his hand gently to show his understanding. Then he half-jokingly said, "So from now on, let's just compete in martial arts. If we really use all our strength, I'm afraid that the whole Inazuma will be tormented by us."
Ying was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then a faint curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"You do have some truth in what you said." Ying nodded, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes, "Our fight is indeed too intense. If we continue to fight without any scruples, I'm afraid it will really cause a lot of trouble for Inazuma."
The two smiled at each other, as if they were in sync. Just as they were about to communicate further, a purple figure quietly appeared beside them.
"Can't you two keep a low profile? Even if I'm in the castle tower, I can sense any disturbance on the sea." The person who came was Zhen. At this moment, she looked a little annoyed, but she didn't blame too much.
In fact, the competition between Chen Yue and Ying was originally approved by Zhen. She knew that Chen Yue and Ying were both people who were persistent in pursuing the pinnacle of martial arts. If they wanted to take their skills to a higher level, they would have to go through countless fierce actual combat confrontations.
In addition, looking at this matter from another perspective, their almost insane way of competing can also be seen as a severe test and a rare opportunity for training for the entire Inazuma.
Zhen took a glance at the shocking wound on Chen Yue's back and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
"How is your injury?" Zhen asked with concern.
"It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about." Chen Yue shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
"Really, why..." Before Ying could finish her words, Chen Yue gave her a look and interrupted her.
"I came here this time because I have something important to discuss with you two, so I came to find you." Zhen smiled slightly, his eyes fell on Chen Yue, and said softly.
“Aren’t you going back to Liyue in a week? It shouldn’t be a problem to bring one more person on this return trip.” Zhen’s tone was very calm, but there was a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"Take one more person?" Chen Yue was slightly startled when he heard this, but then he immediately understood what Zhen meant and quickly replied, "Of course no problem! I forgot to tell you before that Saigong has decided to go to Liyue with me."
"It's not this matter. Saigū has already told me about it." Ying raised his hand to signal Chen Yue to be patient, and then continued to explain.
“What I mean is that I hope you can take me to Liyue. I also want to go and see it in person, and by the way, understand what Liyue has become like now.” When he said this, there was a gleam of curiosity in Ying's eyes.
"Hmm, huh? Hmm!"
Chen Yue looked at Zhen in astonishment, with ripples in his heart.
He knew that Mami was the guardian of Inazuma, with a noble status and heavy responsibilities, and that she rarely had the opportunity to leave Inazuma. But this time, she actually took the initiative to ask to go to Liyue, which was really "beyond" his expectations.
"You...are you really going to Liyue?" Chen Yue asked in disbelief.
Zhen nodded, a determined look on his face: "Yes, I want to visit the Liyue you mentioned and learn more about it. Moreover, I want to talk to Morax in person to see if there is any possibility of more cooperation between our two countries."
Hearing this, Chen Yue couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"There's no problem on my end, but what about Inazuma?"
Hearing this, Zhen chuckled, as if he had expected Chen Yue to ask this question. "That's why I came to you two. After I leave, I want Ying to take my place and deal with Ying's affairs."
"Thanks to you, my daily work has become much easier. I only need to deal with some undecided matters. Let Ying handle them. It shouldn't be a big problem."
"What do you think? Ying?" Turning to look at Ying, Zhen asked with a smile.
Ying nodded, apparently having no objection to the real arrangement.
"Okay, I'll tell the Emperor in advance." Chen Yue took a deep breath and agreed solemnly.
"Then I will go and make some preparations. Bringing a foreign god back to your own country is a very troublesome matter."
Chen Yue chuckled, turned and flew towards Inazuma City.
......
"Zaigong, you are so friendly to me!" Chen Yue said gratefully when he came to Hu Zaigong. "I didn't expect you to be able to persuade Zhen. It seems that I still don't know you well enough!"
"Tsk, how can you guess a fox's mind!" Kitsaigong raised his head proudly, with a cunning light in his eyes. "Since we are all so friendly, then it's not too much to let me take a look at your feminine figure, right?"
"Well, I suddenly feel that we are just ordinary friends. This kind of thing is still a little too intimate for the two of us."
Chen Yue's face was a little stiff. He didn't expect Hu Zhai Palace to make such a request. Although he could turn into a fox, it didn't mean that he was willing to turn into a fox in front of Hu Zhai Palace.
"Okay, brother, I'll give you a chance to change your face! I suddenly think it's a good idea for you to go back to Liyue alone. After all, Inazuma is going to have some problems again, and you really can't leave. Don't you think so?"
"I change, I change. Isn't it okay for me to let you see?"
