Travel through Teyvat and spend your life with Linghua

"No!" Wan Ye widened his eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.

He was completely unable to accept this reality, his heart filled with astonishment and grief. At this moment, any rationality was thrown out of his mind. Regardless of his surroundings, Manye unhesitatingly mobilized the elemental power within his body, unleashing the combat technique "Thousand Grass Surge." With lightning speed, he leaped up and sped towards his friend.

In the blink of an eye, he was beside his friend, stretched out his trembling hand, and gently touched the tip of his friend's nose, trying to feel that faint breath. However, what awaited him was endless despair - his friend was no longer breathing.

"He can also control the power of elements! He must have the Eye of God! Catch him quickly!" Kujo Sara, who was standing aside, shouted anxiously to the warriors beside him.

Before he finished speaking, several warriors in armor surrounded Wan Ye like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey. They held sharp weapons in their hands, with fierce light flashing in their eyes, and they were ready to kill Wan Ye at any time.

Surrounded by several warriors, Manye's body reacted instinctively. He reached out to grab the broken sword that had fallen beside his friend, preparing to strike back. However, as his fingers touched the hilt, he suddenly stopped. At that moment, he caught a glimpse of his friend's divine eyes, lying on the ground, their luster gone.

The Eye of God, once gleaming with brilliant light, now dimmed as if lifeless. Gazing at the scene before him, Manye's fury gradually subsided, replaced by endless sorrow and despair. He clutched the Eye of God on the ground, slowly turning around and gazing at his friend's peaceful face one last time.

"There are always creatures on earth who dare to face the power of thunder. Don't worry, I will protect your ardent dream and will never let it be buried on the cold statue." Wan Ye said softly, his voice revealing an unshakable belief.

At this moment, the surrounding warriors had already surrounded Manye, leaving no room for escape. They pressed forward, leaving Manye no chance of escape. However, Manye had no intention of finding any flaws in the warriors. He took a deep breath, and the Eye of God at his waist shone again, unleashing his fighting skill, Chigusa Zhen!

A sudden hurricane blew by, and the warriors were blown blind by the wind. When they opened their eyes again, Manye had already jumped onto the wall of the castle tower.

After seeing the situation clearly, Kujo Sara also spread her inky black wings and flew high, rushing towards Wanye. Her speed was extremely fast, like a flash of lightning that cut through the sky, and she bit Wanye tightly.

Seeing this, Linghua was filled with anxiety. Without hesitation, she reached out and grasped Xinyang's hand, signaling him with her eyes to help Wanye. Xinyang understood and silently mobilized the powerful wind element within him.

Just as Kujo Sara was about to catch Manye, a sudden gust of wind swept in from Manye's direction. Kujo Sara was blown back into the castle tower by the powerful wind, and his body involuntarily took a few steps backward before he could barely steady himself.

By the time Kujo Sara gained his footing, Manye had already disappeared without a trace.

She angrily punched the ground and growled, "Damn it!" Then she quickly looked around, her gaze finally stopping on Xinyang and Linghua, but disappeared in a flash.

Kujo Sara clearly remembered that it was Xinyang who personally handed the Eye of God to him; and Kamisato Ayaka's Eye of God was of ice attribute, and seemed to have nothing to do with the strong wind just now.

"Could it be that he really created that strong wind himself?" Kujo Sara couldn't help but doubt his own strength.

Xinyang and Linghua did not stay in the castle tower for too long and soon returned to the Mokuro Tea House. After Xinyang created a hurricane to repel Kujo Sara, the wind guided Manye back to the Mokuro Tea House.

Xinyang gently pushed open the door and walked into the secret room of the Mulou Teahouse. He saw Wanye standing there quietly, as if blending into the surrounding environment.

"Mulou Tea House is the territory of the society. You can take a rest here and plan your future path." Xinyang said softly.

Manye quickly clasped his fists and saluted. "Thank you for your help, Excellency. I am deeply grateful. However, I will leave as soon as possible and will not cause any trouble to the Society Magistrate."

Linghua hurried forward to help Manye up, smiling and saying, "It's just a simple favor, don't worry about it. But why did you mobilize elemental power to break into the castle tower in front of everyone?"

Wan Ye sighed deeply, his eyes revealing a hint of sadness and helplessness. He whispered, "He... He is not only my dearest friend, but also someone I will never forget. We have had countless long conversations throughout the night, and every time he talked about General Lei Dian's astonishing martial arts peak - the 'Unthinking Sword', he was always filled with passion and yearning. He always believed that one day he would be able to withstand this earth-shattering blow and put an end to the cruel and ruthless Eye Hunting Order. So, when I heard that someone had dared to openly disobey orders in the castle tower, refused to hand over the Eye of God, and even took the initiative to challenge him to a duel in front of the emperor, I immediately guessed that it must be him!"

"For him, facing General Lei Dian and trying to take that unexpected sword, even if he ultimately failed and died, would not leave any regrets. However, the unfulfilled dream in his heart and the Eye of God that symbolizes his will and belief should never be buried in that cold and ruthless statue. Because of this, even though I knew that this journey was extremely dangerous, I decided to take back his Eye of God without hesitation, even though it has lost its former glory." At this point, Wan Ye's voice was slightly low, as if he was recalling that difficult time.

Xinyang and Linghua looked at each other without saying anything. At this time, Thomas returned to the Mulou Tea House.

Thomas carefully pulled Xinyang and Linghua to a corner and said in a low voice, "Miss, Xinyang, the head of the family has seen through your efforts to help the descendants of the Kaedehara family escape from the castle tower. The head of the family said that he would do his best to buy us time, and he sent me here to convey a message: 'The Kamisato family feels deeply guilty towards the Kaedehara family. You can give him all your support. In a few days, his wanted order will spread throughout Inazuma. Therefore, it is best to escort him away from Inazuma as soon as possible.'"

Linghua nodded slightly, agreeing, "You're right. Leaving Inazuma temporarily is indeed a good choice, but I don't know if he's willing to leave the land where he grew up."

Thomas then offered a suggestion, "I know a captain from Liyue who will be sailing back to Liyue soon. She's said she's traveled the route from Liyue to Inazuma many times, so her safety is unquestionable. If Manye is willing, I'll contact her immediately."

At this moment, Wan Ye stepped out and said bluntly: "If feasible, I also hope to leave Inazuma. Perhaps the wider world outside is more suitable for me. I beg for your help." After speaking, Wan Ye bowed deeply to show his sincerity.
