Although Najihiro had already recognized her as Yanfei, the lawyer from Liyue.

"Entering someone's room without permission and searching everywhere, what else can you be but a thief?"

Najiyo crossed his arms and glanced indifferently at Yanfei.

"Speak! What are you doing? Who sent you?"

"No...no! I got permission from the owner to come in! Don't misunderstand!"

As she spoke, the girl stood up somewhat flustered.

"I'm just here to investigate something on someone's behalf. Let me introduce myself. My name is Yanfei, and I'm a legal consultant from Liyue."

"I'm here on a friend's behalf to find out what you have that attracts her. I won't take anything from you!"

Perhaps because it was her first time stealing and she had been caught red-handed, Yan Fei was not as calm as usual, but rather looked flustered.

Would Na Zhiyang believe such an explanation?

Yes, because you can tell from the aura she exudes that she is telling the truth.

"So, Miss Yanfei, have you found what you're looking for?"

"No..."

Who is your friend?

"She is... cough! I can't reveal that."

As expected of Yan Fei, she adjusted her state so quickly, even though she looked completely lost just a moment ago.

"You probably understand this yourself. Even if you don't take anything, you're still breaking and entering illegally, and you're conspiring with the hotel owner."

"Well... I admit I did something wrong. I apologize. If you have any questions, just ask. I'll tell you everything I can."

Oh? So decisive? Okay, okay, if you're that decisive.

"Hmm, why did your friend say that I have something about me that attracts her?"

"this..."

Seeing Yan Fei touching her head, Na Zhiyang felt his eyelids twitch twice.

"Miss Yanfei, could it be that this is something that can't be talked about?"

[Detection target: Smoky Red.]

[Target race: Human-lady hybrid.]

[Estimated strength: Small house ~ Large building.]

Huh? A transgender person?

Oh, right. According to the common understanding of my previous world, aren't all the immortals in Teyvat demons?

Even Morax is similar.

"No, no, no! Of course not, I was just thinking about how to explain it."

"When my friend happened to pass by you, she always felt that there was something about you that kept attracting her attention."

"As a result, when I went back to work, all I could think about was you. Even when I occasionally slept, I dreamed about you..."

"So at noon today, she asked me to check if you had anything that would attract her."

"Based on your description, I suspect you are in possession of prohibited drugs."

Seeing Yanfei's serious expression, Najiyo really wanted to say, "Let's just forget about it then," but...

“Miss Yanfei, you are Liyue’s legal counselor, so you should know what kind of things you did.”

"I know this violates the guest's right to privacy, but the hotel owner is cooperating with me in gathering intelligence, and this matter is of great importance, so..."

Before Yan Fei could finish speaking, Na Zhiyang took a step forward and leaned slightly forward.

The two faces were no more than ten centimeters apart, and even their breaths were on Yan Fei's face.

Surprisingly, Yan Fei didn't feel any disgust.

"So, Ms. Yanfei, have you found any evidence? If not, then this is... an illegal search, isn't it?"

Gulu!

Yan Fei was forced to take half a step back, swallowed hard, but Zhi Yang didn't let her go and continued to follow closely.

"Leaving aside the fact that your unauthorized search raises suspicions of theft, and that the hotel owner was instigated by you and became your accomplice..."

Na Zhiyang then brought up the laws of Liyue and went on and on.

Because things happened so suddenly, what Zhiyang said wasn't without reason; there were also other factors at play.

For a moment, Yan Fei couldn't find a point to refute.

Every time Na Zhiyang said something, Yan Fei would subconsciously take a step back.

"Moreover, with the Summoning Ceremony just around the corner, and the Emperor about to outline the goals for the new year, it's at this crucial juncture that the judges of Liyue have pulled this stunt..."

Yan Fei had already retreated to the wall, and paused for a moment as her body pressed against it, as if she was about to react, but just then...

Snapped!

Na Zhiyang slammed his hand against the wall, pinning her against it, and leaned down to make eye contact.

Yan Fei didn't think about it from another angle, because Zhi Yang's eyes were clear and there was no trace of evil in them.

"Miss Yanfei, you don't want the Emperor to find out that you violated the laws of Liyue, do you?"

"...what are you up to?"

Yan Fei suddenly regained her senses, completely changing her previous dazed state.

Seeing her like this, Na Zhiyang knew he couldn't use this method anymore.

"It's nothing, I just wanted you to apologize. Being suspected and having your home searched is very upsetting, Miss Yanfei."

"Oh? How do you want me to apologize?"

Yan Fei had a smiling face, but it was unclear what she was thinking.

Perhaps they already have a plan in mind, just waiting for Zhiyang to make some excessive demands so they can set a trap.

"I don't have many requests. Just say sorry. I don't really care about this kind of thing."

"Oh dear! That won't do. How could I, as Liyue's legal consultant, make a mistake? How about we arrange a time for you to have a meal together?"

???

No, this reversal is a bit too fast, isn't it?

...

I know why now.

In that instant, as if remembering something, Najiyo glanced at the system panel.

As expected, the body's power level has dropped to almost half again, which means...

Tsk!

After a slight hesitation, Na Zhiyang did not reduce the power output, but simply left it as is.

"Oh, okay then, how about tomorrow night?"

"Okay, it's a deal! We'll meet at Wanmin Hall tomorrow night at seven o'clock. It's my treat."

"It's a word."

He easily dismissed Yan Fei.

After closing the door, as if sensing something, Najiyo immediately smiled.

"Is there a problem?"

"The child meant no harm."

"Don't worry, if they really had malicious intent, things wouldn't be like this now... Shall we talk?"

On the other side, after Yan Fei left, she suddenly realized something.

"Huh? Why...why am I supposed to invite him to dinner?!"

Chapter 53: Chatting with Zhongli, we're going together!

I chatted with Zhongli about the topic of another world.

For example, events that occur in atheistic countries ruled by men.

Each dynastic change, along with the evolution of weaponry, the escalation of wars, and ultimately, deterrence, creates a system of checks and balances.

"..."

"I think you've probably already figured it out: the gods of Teyvat are like nuclear weapons—you don't need them, but you can't be without them..."

At this point, Najiyo paused for a moment, and then suddenly burst out laughing.

"Haha! You should understand such a simple principle, right, Zhongli?"

"Yes, I thought of that a long time ago, so even if I faked my death, I would still appear in the dreams of the Seven Stars and the immortals after the test."

After saying this, Zhongli picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then rested his chin on his hand.

His sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his handsome phoenix eyes stared straight at him.

"Thank you for sharing, Najiyo from another world. Your information has broadened my horizons."

"Alright, alright, stop being so polite with me. Besides, you've lived for over 6000 years, surely you can think of more things than I can?"

Na Zhiyang genuinely didn't want to use polite words; everything he did and expressed was quite straightforward.

This made Zhongli glance over here a few more times, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Just say what you want to say directly. I like to be straightforward and don't like beating around the bush."

Seeing Zhiyang's appearance, Zhongli shook his head helplessly.

"From a general rational point of view, when interacting with others, one must pay attention to one's own conduct and behavior; otherwise, things will become extremely troublesome and it will be difficult to make friends."
