Travel through Teyvat and spend your life with Linghua

Chapter 261 Strange Arrangement

Along the way, Linghua and Xiao Gong seemed to have endless topics to talk about, from the latest interesting things happening in the streets of Inazuma to the rapid changes in the Kamisato family. Shuili, like a cheerful little bird, flitted around them, occasionally interjecting with curiosity. Xinyang listened quietly, occasionally noting the topic of Kamisato's family.

Xiao Gong suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, Linghua, your brother Lingren sent many ninjas with you to Liyue this time. He told me that you can mobilize those people at will. If you want to summon them, you can use the old method."

"Ah? What do you mean, brother? Is this what you mean, Xinyang?" Linghua looked at Xinyang in confusion.

Xin Yang shook his head. "I don't know anything. My brother and I rarely exchange letters. Perhaps he is worried about our safety. There are so many people here now. Let's find a quiet place and call the ninjas out to ask them clearly. That will be all."

Linghua frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "Brother is always thoughtful. If he made such an arrangement, there must be a reason for it. But I'm afraid that letting so many ninjas follow me for no reason will disturb others."

Xiao Gong patted Ling Hua's shoulder and said, "Don't think too much. They are all ninjas from your Kamisato family. Even you didn't notice us when we got off the boat just now. How could they be exposed so easily? Maybe they will be of great use to you when you need help."

As they were talking, they had already returned to Bailu Shuanghua.

When Nana Kano heard the sound, she poked her head out from behind the counter, and a smile instantly broke out on her face: "Welcome back! I just made a batch of new flavors of dango milk, come and try it." As she spoke, Nana Kano swiftly brought a few cups and placed them on the table.

Shuili cheered and rushed over to pick up a cup first. She couldn't wait to take a sip, her eyes narrowed into two slits: "Wow, Sister Nana, it's so delicious!"

Xiao Gong also sat down at the table and greeted Shikano Nana: "Sister Nana, do you remember me? We met at the festival."

"Of course, the most anticipated thing during every festival is the fireworks." Shikano Nana smiled, her eyes full of enthusiasm. "The fireworks you make, Yoshimiya, are like the brightest stars in the night sky, stunning everyone every time they bloom. During every festival, our chief priest always randomly finds a miko to sit in her place at the shrine so she can show off the fireworks."

Nana Kanno covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled softly, her eyes filled with nostalgia for the past. "I've only been chosen a few times. Every time I sit there, I'm thinking about the bustling scene outside and wondering when those gorgeous fireworks of yours, Miss Xiao Gong, will be launched into the sky."

Xiao Gong blinked, a sly look flashing in his eyes: "So this is how the chief priest got away with it! If I had known, I should have prepared more small fireworks and secretly stuffed them into you so that you can have fun in the shrine." Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this, and the atmosphere in the store became relaxed and cheerful.

Linghua had a faint smile on her face, but she was always thinking about her brother sending ninjas, and she could not completely relax.

Xinyang saw what Linghua was thinking and whispered, "Linghua, let's go to the backyard. It's quiet there. Let's call the ninja out and ask him." Linghua nodded, stood up, and walked towards the backyard with Xinyang. Xiao Gong wanted to go with them, but after thinking about it, this was a private matter of the Kamisato family, so he didn't follow.

A few bamboo trees grew in the backyard, their leaves rustling in the breeze. Xinyang and Linghua stood still. Linghua pulled a small bamboo whistle from her sleeve, placed it to her lips, and blew gently. The melodious sound echoed far into the night sky.

A moment later, several dark figures quietly appeared from the rooftops and corners of the walls, kneeling on one knee. The leader was a slender ninja who whispered, "Miss, what can I do for you?"

Linghua looked at them with a serious expression: "Why did my brother send you here this time? Tell me everything you know."

The ninja leader hesitated for a moment, then pulled out a sealed letter from his bosom and presented it with both hands: "Miss, the head of the family has instructed that if you ask, I will give this letter to you."

Linghua took the letter, glanced at it for just a few seconds, then suddenly closed it and looked up at Xinyang.

"What's wrong? What did the letter say? Why are you so nervous?" Xinyang asked.

"It's okay!" Linghua clutched the letter in her hand in a panic: "Actually, my brother misunderstood me."

Xinyang looked puzzled. Looking at Linghua's hand tightly clutching the letter, he gently advised, "Linghua, what are we hiding from each other? If it's something about Inazuma, tell us and we can find a solution together."

Linghua bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before saying helplessly, "Oh, you're all overthinking it. When I wrote to Xiaogong before, I had a fever, and I complained about it in the letter. But who knew that my brother saw the letter and thought you were bullying me, so he sent a dozen ninjas here."

After hearing this, Xin Yang couldn't help but laugh: "So that's how it is. Brother, do you really not trust me? This is all caused by a misunderstanding."

Linghua was a little amused and said lightly, "Brother is just too cautious. He misunderstood you as bullying me after hearing a few words, and even sent ninjas here specially. Really..."

Xinyang smiled and held Linghua's hand. "It's okay. I can see that brother cares about you and is afraid that you will be wronged. I really haven't done well in some aspects. It's better to resolve this misunderstanding as soon as possible and don't let brother worry all the time."

Linghua nodded: "Well, I'll find a time and write a letter to explain everything to my brother so that he won't worry about it."

The two smiled at each other, and when they returned to the front hall, they heard a burst of laughter.
