Travel through Teyvat and spend your life with Linghua

Only after Linghua fell asleep did Xinyang tiptoe out of Linghua's room.

The rain outside was still falling, with no sign of stopping, and Ayato had not returned yet.

Xinyang quietly returned to the kitchen and cooked a pot of steaming porridge. Then, he sat quietly in the living room, gazing at the rain outside the window while patiently waiting for Ayato. Time passed minute by minute, and finally, as evening approached, Ayato led a group of dusty warriors into Kamisato's house.

Seeing this, Xin Yang hurried forward and handed bowls of hot porridge to everyone. Ling Ren took the bowl of porridge and asked casually, "How is Ling Hua?"

Xin Yang replied, "She's still a little weak, and she's been feeling down these days, so she's fallen asleep. You've been busy these past few days, so you need to get some rest too."

After the warriors had finished their meal and rested, Ayato led Xinyang to the study.

"Thank you for taking good care of Linghua these days." Xinyang quickly waved his hand and responded, "Don't be polite. I'm also a member of the Kamisato family. This is what I should do." Lingren smiled slightly and teased, "You are always so smooth-talking."

Soon, Ayato's smile disappeared. "You caused quite a stir this time. The Tenryo Bugyo has already begun secretly investigating the matter. However, it was a blessing in disguise. The disappearance of so many people overnight has greatly frightened the Tenryo and Kanjo Bugyo. If you want to take action against the Kamisato family in the future, you must think twice."

Xin Yang smiled bitterly, "This can be considered a blessing in disguise. This incident has had a huge impact on the company's conduct."

Ayato nodded slightly to show his agreement: "Well, in the coming days, I'm afraid I won't be able to spare too much time to accompany Ayahua, so I can only entrust her to you." There was a hint of helplessness and reluctance in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I promised Mom that from now on I will never let Linghua leave me. I will take good care of her."

Ayato frowned, lost in a brief moment of thought. After a moment, he raised his head, looked at Xinyang with a determined gaze, and asked softly, "Have you really decided not to return to the world you originally belonged to?" There seemed to be a hint of unspoken worry in his voice.

Xinyang silently shook his head, his eyes revealing a mixture of helplessness and relief. With a soft sigh, he said, "Yes, I don't think I can go back to my old life. Besides, even if there was a way to go back, I wouldn't want to leave. Over this time, I've gradually adapted to this new environment, made many new friends, and experienced many interesting things. For me, this place has become a warm home, and I can't bear to leave."

Ling Ren listened to Xin Yang's story quietly, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He knew that Xin Yang made such a decision because of Ling Hua.

"That's fine. I agree with the relationship between you and Linghua, but Linghua is still young. I hope you can be careful."

Xinyang looked incredulous. He stood up and looked out the window. There was no sun. He wondered if it was rising from the west. "Did I hear correctly? You agree? Don't worry about this. I will follow Linghua's wishes..."

Ayato ignored Xinyang and continued to ask, "So... are you really planning to take Ayahua away from Inazuma?"

"Actually, I'm not too sure. It all depends on Linghua's wishes. After all, I came here from another world. To me, it doesn't make much difference where I am."

Hearing this, a rare serious expression appeared on Ayato's face. He said solemnly: "If possible, I sincerely hope that you can take Ayahua away from Inazuma together, even if it is only temporarily." After that, he stared at Xinyang quietly.

Xin Yang was startled, then looked at Ling Ren's serious face and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "What are you doing..."

However, Ayato interrupted him without hesitation, responding in an extremely serious tone, "I'm serious. I've decided that I will make the Society Bugyo strong again in my lifetime. During this time, someone will definitely make a move against the Kamisato family again. Only by leaving Inazuma can Ayahua be guaranteed safety."

Hearing this, Xin Yang also became serious. "Okay, I promise you."

"I feel relieved when you say that. It's getting late and I should go to bed." As time passed, the night deepened and everything was silent. The moonlight shone through the window onto the ground, like a layer of silver gauze.

Xinyang returned to her room and lay on the bed but couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

The next morning, the sun had just risen and the morning light was just beginning to show.

Linghua rose early and knocked gently on Xinyang's door. When Xinyang opened it, she didn't exchange pleasantries but simply stated her purpose. "Xinyang, among all the people I've met, your control over elemental power is the most exceptional. So, I'd like to learn from you how to utilize it more effectively."

Faced with Linghua's straightforward request, Xinyang paused for a moment before responding, "It's not impossible... but you're still weak and need a few more days to recuperate." Linghua, however, shook her head firmly, reassuring herself that she could handle it. "I'm truly fine, and I must become stronger! I simply cannot bear to have someone leave me..." No matter how Xinyang tried to persuade her, Linghua refused to change her mind, insisting on beginning her studies immediately.

Seeing Linghua's firm attitude, Xinyang knew that it was useless to say more and had no choice but to agree.

He sighed inwardly, thinking that perhaps doing this would help Linghua recover sooner, so the two of them went outside together to start practicing.
