As expected, when Ayato heard what Kuki Shinobu said, he was stunned for a moment, and then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face. Kuki Shinobu's meaning was very clear: the Kamisato Clan had finally found a turning point!
Ayato eagerly wanted to thank Kuki Shinobu properly, but Kuki Shinobu refused him every time. Finally, Ayato insisted on taking all the people from the Kamisato Clan and personally escorted Kuki Shinobu for two miles, not returning until her back was out of sight.
After returning to the Kamisato Estate, Ayato immediately transformed from his lazy, idle state, displaying a determined ambition. Looking at his retainers, Ayato excitedly said, "Everyone, you've all worked hard to hide your talents during this time. Next, our Kamisato Clan will face a tough battle that we can only win, not lose!"
Thoma: "Master Ayato, just give the order. If we don't get some exercise soon, our bodies will rust!"
Soon, with the vigorous promotion of the Kamisato Clan and the Yashiro Commission, the major news that the Inazuma Regent would be getting married in a month and that Inazuma would host an international grand event began to slowly radiate from the southeastern part of Teyvat to the entire continent of Teyvat.
Because of this news, the entire Teyvat was as if ignited... Liyue, Mt. Aocang.
After learning that their disciple Shenhe was pregnant and would be holding a grand wedding with Miyashiro in Inazuma, Cloud Retainer, Mountain Shaper, and Moon Carver, the three Adepti, gathered and drank wine all night.
That night, the three Adepti severely criticized Miyashiro, even threatening to rescue their disciple Shenhe from Miyashiro's clutches.
But the next morning, the three Adepti, who had been drinking all night, acted as if nothing had happened and eagerly flew together to Inazuma.
As for Vigilant Yaksha Xiao, he originally intended to remain in Liyue, but after unexpectedly learning that Mr. Zhongli from the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor would be the master of ceremonies for the wedding, he immediately changed his mind.
The Geo Archon's actions must have a profound meaning!
No, I must go and see what's going on!
In addition to the Adepti, many others in Liyue also received invitations personally written by Miyashiro. Among them, Qiqi and Baizhu from Bubu Pharmacy were ranked first and second on Miyashiro's guest list.
The reason was simple: if Qiqi hadn't carried him, severely injured, back to Bubu Pharmacy, and if Mr. Baizhu hadn't carefully treated him, Miyashiro might not be here today.
There were also Xiangling from Wanmin Restaurant, Yun Jin from Yun-Han Opera Troupe, Xingqiu from Feiyun Commerce Guild, Beidou from the Crux Fleet, and Chongyun, who calls Shenhe his aunt. These were all Miyashiro's good friends in Liyue, so he naturally offered to cover all their travel expenses and invited them to come along.
Of course, Ningguang, Tianquan of the Liyue Qixing, as the head of the Qixing, also received an invitation. However, Miyashiro cleverly included a special message in the invitation written to Ningguang.
Therefore, when Baiwen, Ningguang's secretary, handed her the invitation, Ningguang, after reading it, specifically convened a Qixing meeting to discuss whether she should go to Inazuma.
In the invitation, Miyashiro subtly informed her that among the three nations that had established diplomatic relations with Inazuma, Acting Grand Sage Alhaitham of Sumeru and Acting Grand Master Jean of the Knights of Favonius of Mondstadt had already agreed to attend his wedding, and only Ningguang was missing. Would she come?
If you don't come, then the three of us will leave you out and have some private conversations. Don't blame us if we don't include you then.
Since the matter had been put this way, it would be inappropriate for Ningguang not to go. Therefore, at the Qixing meeting, the other Qixing members all advised Ningguang to accept the Inazuma Regent's invitation.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Ningguang readily accepted, saying, "Since everyone has no objections, then I shall not decline. During my absence from Liyue, please share the work among yourselves."
Meanwhile, at the Knights of Favonius headquarters in Mondstadt, Acting Grand Master Jean of the Knights of Favonius fell into thought as she looked at the invitation from Inazuma. The content of this invitation, in its wording, was exactly the same as the one Ningguang received, only the names were changed.
Mondstadt's current situation could not compare to Liyue's. Grand Master Varka had led eighty percent of the main force on a distant expedition and had not yet returned. She, as Acting Grand Master, was leading twenty percent of the Knights, responsible for all affairs of Mondstadt City, so the pressure was immense.
If she were to go to Inazuma at this time, would there be any problems in Mondstadt City?
But if she didn't go, and the leaders of Inazuma, Sumeru, and Liyue discussed cooperation matters together, wouldn't it be very disadvantageous for Mondstadt if they left it out?
Thinking of this, the conflicted Acting Grand Master Jean called her best friend Lisa, secretary Diluc, and Cavalry Captain Kaeya to discuss a solution. Unexpectedly, not only did Lisa suggest she go, but even Diluc and Kaeya, after reading the invitation, unanimously supported Acting Grand Master Jean's trip to Inazuma without any hesitation.
It was truly astonishing that these two brothers, who were usually at odds like fire and ice and were not related by blood, could reach an agreement on a certain matter.
Acting Grand Master Jean asked suspiciously, "Did you two discuss this beforehand? Aren't you worried that something might happen in Mondstadt after I leave?"
Kaeya laughed, "My Acting Grand Master, you should at least have some confidence in the nation you manage. If chaos erupts as soon as you leave, wouldn't that indicate a problem with your management? Besides, I must admit, convincing Diluc to be your secretary was a wise decision.
Under Diluc's iron fist, Mondstadt City has been completely revitalized. Coupled with the deterrence of the collective execution of the Lawrence Family, those stubborn aristocrats have become docile little lambs."
Diluc, with his arms crossed, said rationally, "Moreover, this invitation clearly states that the Inazuma Regent's wedding is no longer just a wedding; it's an important moment for a meeting of four national leaders. If you, Acting Grand Master Jean, are absent from this meeting, Mondstadt might miss many opportunities, and the disadvantages would outweigh the benefits!"
Lisa held the invitation and sighed, "To be able to persuade the leaders of two nations to attend his wedding in advance, it seems that the Inazuma Regent has an extraordinary amount of influence. I imagine this wedding in Inazuma will be very lively, huh? Oh, you've made me want to go see it myself!"
After hearing their explanations, Acting Grand Master Jean finally made up her mind and said, "Alright then, Lisa, if you want to go, come with me. Oh, and also call Amber. She's always wanted an opportunity to visit Eula, and this is the perfect chance to fulfill her wish.
Speaking of which, Albedo and Klee have been in Inazuma for so long. It's a good opportunity to bring them back on the way. Sigh, honestly, Mondstadt City has been too quiet lately. I'm not used to not hearing Klee's Jumpy Dumpty explosions for such a long time."
