Fengyuan Manye, a man who had snatched a full 157 cigarettes from his hands, did not expect to meet this "Emperor Ye Tian" in the Mulou Tea House.

Seeing that Xinyang did not follow her, Linghua retreated to Xinyang's side and looked inside. At this time, Wanye heard the noise and turned around to look at Linghua.

Although the two had never met before, Linghua recognized the unique Kaedehara family crest on the Manyo family's clothing at a glance.

Linghua couldn't help but ask softly, "Could it be... that you are a descendant of the Fengyuan family?"

Upon hearing this, Manye slowly stood up and walked towards Linghua. "Yes, I am Manye Fengyuan, the last descendant of the Fengyuan family. Do you know me?"

Linghua shook her hands back and forth in front of her chest. "I just recognized the family crest on your body. How is the Fengyuan family now?"

Manye sighed, "It has long been in decline. Now I can only make a living by selling off my family property."

Ayaka felt a surge of sympathy, and after a moment's thought, she offered, "My name is Kamisato Ayaka, and I'm a member of the magistrate's office. We, the magistrate's office, are also responsible for the downfall of the Kaedehara family, one of the Five Legends of Thunder. If you don't have a place to stay right now, you can go to Kamisato's residence. I'll ask my brother to take you in."

Wan Ye politely declined, "You absolutely cannot say that. Back then, the Society Administrator paid a heavy price for this. How could I burden him with more trouble now? Besides, I've always loved my freedom. I don't like those cumbersome rules and restrictions."

Xin Yang smiled and extended his right hand, saying politely, "Nice to meet you. My name is Xin Yang, and I'm a retainer of the Kamisato family."

Wan Ye stretched out his hand and shook hands with Xin Yang without any guard, but he could feel that Xin Yang's hand was quietly exerting force.

After the two men clasped hands, Xin Yang pulled out an exquisite fake Wind God's Eye from behind his back and handed it to Wan Ye. He lowered his voice and instructed, "Right now, Inazuma is carrying out the Eye Hunting Order. The situation is tense. Be careful out there. Try to avoid those officers and soldiers. If you are caught, do not resist stubbornly. Simply hand over this fake God's Eye."

Wan Ye gazed at the Fake God's Eye in his hand, a warm feeling welling up in his heart. He looked at Xin Yang with gratitude, nodded solemnly, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Excellency. I will respectfully obey your command." After saying this, he carefully put the Fake God's Eye away, cherishing it as if it were a priceless treasure.

Wan Ye politely invited Ling Hua and Xin Yang into the house and poured them tea. After they were seated, he spoke, "Regarding the Eye Hunting Order, we can see law enforcement officers from the Tenryo Bugyo and Kande Bugyo everywhere these days. Yet, not only did the She Bugyo not participate, he even gifted me a fake Eye of God to prevent my arrest. I'm quite confused by this. Could you please clarify?"

Ayaka smiled and explained, "The reason is simple. The shrine magistrate has always been one of the closest to the people of Inazuma, and we have always upheld the principle of 'putting the people first.' The implementation of the Eye Hunting Order has caused many troubles to the people and has not truly benefited them. Therefore, we have chosen not to enforce it and instead protect those who are blessed by the gods."

Manye nodded slightly, expressing his understanding. He continued, "So, regarding the Eye Hunting Order, what plans or opinions does your society have? After all, it has already caused quite a bit of controversy and discontent."

Linghua took a sip of tea and thought for a moment before answering, "The Eye Hunting Order has indeed caused many problems, but resolving these conflicts is no easy task. Unfortunately, our company's magistrate currently has far less influence in Inazuma than the other two magistrates. We can only temporarily protect those who possess the Divine Eye. Over the years, we have also tried to make the Shogun see the plight of the people, but we have been blocked by the other two magistrates."

Xin Yang continued, "Indeed, the biggest problem we face right now is those two dishonest people who are always trying to trip us up in secret."

After hearing this, Wan Ye sighed and said, "Just as I thought, the friends I've made over the years are also very dissatisfied with the Eye Hunting Order, but they can't do anything about it because of the General."

Just as they were talking excitedly, they heard hurried and heavy footsteps on the street.

The sound aroused their curiosity, so they went to the street to check what was going on.

Xinyang had sharp eyes and quickly caught a middle-aged man passing by and asked anxiously, "Excuse me, what happened?" The middle-aged man gasped and replied nervously, "Haven't you heard? Just now, someone openly resisted the execution of the Eye Hunting Order in the castle tower and initiated a duel in front of the emperor! The loser of the duel in front of the emperor will be punished by the "Unthinking Sword" used by the general! That is the general's pinnacle martial arts skill, which is said to be invincible. Ordinary people have no chance to see such a skill. Let's not talk about it. If you go too late, you will miss it." After that, he left in a hurry, as if he was afraid of missing this rare event.

After hearing this, Wan Ye seemed to have lost his soul, his eyes were empty and confused, and his body involuntarily squeezed into the crowded crowd towards the castle tower.

By the time Linghua realized what was happening, Manye had already vanished without a trace. Considering Manye's previous reaction, Linghua was worried that he might do something impulsive. So, Linghua hurriedly asked Xinyang to lead her to the castle tower.

Xinyang agreed without hesitation, and with Linghua, he quickly rushed towards the cliffs surrounding Inazuma Castle. He gently lifted Linghua up and leaped off the cliff. Simultaneously, Xinyang harnessed his powerful wind power, stirring the surrounding air currents to create a wind field. With this power, the two of them glided through the air like birds, and soon arrived at the castle tower ahead of Manye.

After entering the castle tower, Linghua and Xinyang searched for Manye in the bustling crowd, but there was no trace of him.

The two of them first turned their attention to the two people who were engaged in a fierce duel.

One of them looked particularly familiar, and upon closer inspection, it was indeed Kujo Sara. The other was completely unfamiliar, but based on Manye's previous reaction and the current timeline, Xinyang deduced that this person was most likely Manye's friend.
