Inside the Chen Ge pot, Gao Muming and Paimeng sat at the dining table, watching Ying busy at the stove, and swallowed their saliva as they smelled the aroma of food wafting over.

In order to divert attention, Paimon turned his little face to look at Gao Muming.

"Although the Treasure Stealing Group always does bad things, they are still useful sometimes. Now that we have found the secret passage, we can take action tonight under the cover of darkness. I was originally a little worried because the Chamber of Commerce would take two days to help us go to Narukami Island."

"Well, the Treasure Thieves are really good at breaking the law and finding loopholes."

Just as Gao Muming was chatting with Paimon, Ying came over with some food that exuded an enticing aroma.

"dinner time."

"Great!"

As Ying laid out the food, Paimon quickly flew to his seat and sat down.

After happily enjoying a meal, Ying took the initiative to mention the invitation letter she had received from the eldest lady of the Hiiragi family.

"You said you don't want to meet the eldest daughter of the Hiiragi family?"

After hearing what Ying said, Gao Muming asked back in shock.

"Yes."

Ying nodded.

"It just occurred to me. Now that we have found a way to leave the island, it's better not to create any more trouble."

"Although I feel that the eldest lady of the Hiiragi family who glanced at me briefly had no ill intentions, I cannot rule out the possibility that this meeting will become a trap for us."

"After all, Kanjo Bugyo Hiiragi Shinsuke's attitude is very clear. It's possible that he doesn't want us to leave the island and will take this opportunity to cause trouble."

After hearing Ying's analysis, Gao Muming lowered his head and thought for a while before speaking.

"I support whatever you choose, Ying. However, I think it is necessary to meet with the eldest lady of the Hiiragi family before leaving the island to find out the reason why the Kanjo Bugyo treats us this way."

Hearing what Gao Muming said, Ying frowned.

"Hearing you say that does make me a little concerned."

"Hiiragi Shinsuke's attitude is completely different from Thomas, the magistrate of the company. Is it just the arbitrary decision of Hiiragi Shinsuke as the magistrate of Kanjo or is there some other hidden reason?"

"If you want to figure this out, it would be better to go and meet the eldest lady of the Hiiragi family tonight."

At night, at the entrance of the secret passage off the island, Ying and Paimeng called Gao Muming out of the Dust Song Pot with serious expressions.

"Takagi Akira, we need to get off the island as soon as possible."

Seeing Ying's somewhat solemn expression, Gao Muming nodded and took Ying into the secret passage.

Gao Muming led the way with a lantern in his hand and asked about Ying's news.

"You look unhappy. Did you hear any bad news from the eldest lady of the Hiiragi family?"

"Yes, Chisato Hiiragi told me that the reason why Shinsuke Hiiragi wanted to trap me on the remote island was because he was instructed by a lady who was dressed gorgeously and looked arrogant."

"Dressed in fancy clothes and with a haughty attitude?"

Hearing what Ying said, Takagi Akira's eyes twitched.

"To be honest, when I heard these adjectives, even though the Kande Bugyo, who was almost at the pinnacle of Inazuma's power, was under his command, the first thing that came to my mind was a very annoying guy."

Hearing Gao Muming say this, Ying wrinkled her nose.

"Unfortunately, I am the same as you. The first person that came to my mind was the 'lady' who is the eighth seat of the Fatui executive officer."

Paimon, who was floating beside Ying, also interrupted.

"It's that annoying girl again. She's really haunting us. I've noticed that we've run into her in every country we've visited. By the way, the reason why the 'lady' came to Inazuma is the same as before, right?"

"That's right, the Fatui have set their sights on the Inazuma Thunder God's Heart."

Ying nodded in agreement with Paimon's point of view, and then a puzzled expression appeared on her face.

"From the information I got, unlike Mondstadt's free-spirited Wind God Venti and Liyue's Zhongli who wanted to retire and faked his death, the two gods who rarely appear as gods, Inazuma's General of Thunder has been personally controlling Inazuma over the years."

"It doesn't seem that Thor has any intention of abdicating. How exactly do the Fatui plan to get the Heart of God from Thor?"

Hearing Ying say this, Paimon put his hand on his chin.

"That's a question indeed. Considering Shinsuke Hiiragi who obeys the 'lady's' orders, could it be that the Fatui intend to start a rebellion in Inazuma and then take advantage of the chaos to launch a surprise attack on General Raiden like they did outside Mondstadt Cathedral before?"

"Ying, we must stop the Fatui's actions."

Ying did not agree to Paimeng's words immediately.

"This has nothing to do with us. Anyway, now that I know where my brother is, my goal is just to travel all over Teyvat and visit the seven gods. Just like my brother said, I will leave a unique sediment of this world in my eyes."

"In theory, there is no need for us to create unnecessary trouble. After all, we have already established a relationship with the Society Bugyo. Through them, we should be able to easily meet with the Thunder General."

"But after all, we are friends with Wendy, so we still have to help him get back on his feet. We can remind General Lei Dian when he meets the Thunder God, and take the opportunity to make the 'lady' feel uncomfortable."

Hearing Ying say this, Paimeng nodded heavily.

"Okay, we'll do that then."

Ying and Paimon smiled happily, imagining themselves meeting General Raiden and revealing the Fatui's ambitions, causing the Fatui's 'lady' to fail in her mission.

In this regard, Gao Muming, who knew the real situation, really couldn't bear to speak out and break Ying and Paimong's short and beautiful fantasy, and could only shake his head secretly in his heart.

Not long after, in a camp in a secret cave on the seashore of an outlying island, Takagi Akira extinguished the lantern in his hand.

The moment Gao Muming extinguished the lantern, Paimon immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Takagi Akira, why did you put out the lantern in such a dark place?"

Gao Muming explained with a smile.

"We have arrived at Paimon, the little one, and we are going to sneak across the sea by boat under the moonlight. This is not something that can be done openly. Holding a lantern on the dark sea is tantamount to telling the patrolling soldiers of Inazuma that there is a stowaway."

"You don't want to become a pathetic wanted criminal without enjoying the special food of Inazuma Narukami Island, do you?"

When Paimon heard what Gao Muming said, he immediately got furious.

"That won't work. I want to eat more delicious food on Narukami Island."

"Okay, let's not waste time talking about this. Gao Muming, Paimeng, let's cross the sea as soon as possible."

Ying, who had already walked to the side of the boat, called out to Gao Muming and Paimeng to get on board as soon as possible.

After getting on the boat, Gao Muming looked at Paimon who was chattering beside Ying and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"In the hazy moonlight, riding a boat with Ying in the evening breeze, such a romantic scene, but it's a pity that there is an extra God's Mouth light bulb on the boat."
