Travel through Teyvat and spend your life with Linghua

For several days, Xin Yang and Ling Hua were inseparable. At first, Ling Ren had thought about reminding her, but as time went by, he gradually got used to the situation.

One night, a ninja from the final rank arrived hurriedly at Kamisato's residence, clutching a wounded arm. Inside the study, Toma was carefully bandaging the ninja's wound. The ninja, as if having suffered a terrible tragedy, had been shaking uncontrollably since entering Kamisato's residence. After a long moment of comfort from Toma, he finally calmed down, knelt on one knee before Ayato, and reported the intelligence he had gathered.

"Now, the crystallized bone marrow of all Inazuma has been monopolized by Kanding Fengshen, but the price of crystallized bone marrow is frighteningly high whether it is on the outlying islands or on Bayin Island. We bribed a branch of the Hiiragi family, Hiiragi Yequan, and he inadvertently revealed that most of the crystallized bone marrow remained on Bayin Island, and it seemed that they were all sent to a cave. We followed this clue and launched an investigation on Bayin Island. Just when I passed the cliff in the southwest direction of Bayin Island." When he said this, he hugged his head again and showed a very painful expression.

Toma and Ayato exchanged a glance and said in unison, "The ninjas of the final shinobi are all elites, carefully selected from among hundreds. They wouldn't become like this simply because of shock. Therefore, we can infer that some unknown secrets must be hidden in the southwest of Yagyu Island."

Seeing the ninja's pained expression, Ayato had no choice but to order him to rest. At this moment, Toma volunteered, "Master, I'm much more powerful than the average ninja of the final rank. With Xinyang at Kamisato House, there shouldn't be any problems. So please allow me to go to Yagyu Island and investigate."

"No." Ayato rejected Thomas's request without hesitation. "The situation on Bayun Island is still unclear. Going there rashly would undoubtedly involve many risks. To be absolutely sure, we should first understand the situation and then make a decision."

"Master, the ninjas of the final battle are all like brothers to me. Seeing my friend become like that, I really can't calm down. I hope that Master will grant me permission to go and investigate."

Facing Thomas's resolute gaze, Ayato had no choice but to give in. "Until you have accurate information, you are not allowed to conduct any in-depth investigations without authorization. Everything must be reported to me promptly."

Thomas was overjoyed. "Thank you, Master."

The next day.

Linghua pushed open Xinyang's door and walked in with a swagger. "Lazy guy, get up quickly."

Xinyang looked flustered, frantically hiding the things in his hands under the quilt, then pretended to be calm and said, "Oh, you scared me! I don't have anything to do today, why did you get up so early?"

Linghua's eyes were sharp, as if she could see through Xinyang's thoughts. The corners of her mouth raised slightly, revealing a sly smile, and she reached out to grab Xinyang's quilt: "Hehe, look how scared you are. Are you hiding something from me? Let me see!"

Xinyang held the quilt tightly, refusing to let go, and muttered, "Stop it, I haven't put on my pants yet!"

Hearing this, Linghua's face flushed slightly. She loosened her grip on the quilt in dismay, but still insisted, "Hmph, you lazy bum! My brother said that Thomas won't be at Kamisato's residence these days due to some personal matters, so you have to be responsible for the meals these days!"

Xinyang's eyes widened as she asked in disbelief, "Ah? Why me? I've already taught you a few simple dishes. You could have practiced them in the past few days!"

"But..." Linghua pouted, looking a little aggrieved. "It's so boring to cook by myself. And what if the food doesn't taste good?"

Xinyang scratched his head and sighed helplessly: "Well, okay. But you have to come and help too."

Linghua blinked, then suddenly came forward and said with a smile, "You seem so aggrieved. Don't you want to cook for me?"

Xin Yang secretly thought that something was wrong. Hearing the hidden meaning in Ling Hua's words, he quickly said with a smile, "How could that be! I'll get up right now and prepare a loving breakfast for my young lady. What do you think?"

"Hehe, that's more like it!" Linghua smiled proudly, then turned and walked towards the kitchen, "Then hurry up, I'll wait for you in the kitchen first!"

After Linghua left, Xinyang lifted the quilt and said to himself, "Wait a few more days, and I'll give you a surprise on your birthday."

Several days passed, and despite the absence of Thomas, the "full-time housekeeper", Kamisato House continued to operate in an orderly manner as usual under Xinyang's careful management.

However, on the fifth day, Lingren quietly called Xinyang to the courtyard.

"Toma is actually out on a mission these days," Ayato stated bluntly.

"I see..." Xin Yang nodded slightly, expressing his understanding. Xin Yang knew that Thomas was a skilled and well-connected person, so he should be able to complete the mission successfully. "Then he shouldn't be in any danger, right?" Looking at Ayato's serious expression, Xin Yang couldn't help but feel a little worried. An ominous thought flashed through his mind: "Could it be that... Thomas..."

"The situation is still unclear." Ayato's tone was a little heavy, and he told Xinyang everything about the intelligence he had obtained from the final battle five days ago and Thomas's initiative to ask for battle.

Xin Yang's face changed when he heard the words "crystallized bone marrow" and "Bayun Island". In the game, crystallized bone marrow is one of the raw materials for making the Evil Eye, and the Evil Eye factory is located on Bayun Island.

"The ninja is now awake. He said there were terrifying screams and a strong attraction in the cave. If the ninja he was traveling with hadn't pushed him at the last moment, he wouldn't have been able to escape."

Ayato then added, "Before he left, Thomas promised me not to investigate further without my permission. But the day before yesterday, the ninja from the final mission reported that Thomas had entered a cave on Yagyu Island alone and has not emerged since. I immediately sent several samurai in, but no one has emerged yet."

Xinyang slapped his thigh, stood up quickly, and shouted anxiously, "This is a big trouble! Why didn't you tell me earlier? That place is the Fatui's stronghold! And the Fatui's executive officer is here in person! No, I have to go and save Thomas!"

At this moment, Linghua suddenly appeared from the side, took Xinyang's hand and said firmly: "I want to go too!"

"No!" They both blurted out almost at the same time, their voices extremely firm.
