Chapter 218 Past Events (Exposure)
"Come on, don't do this." Hu Zhaigong saw Chen Yue kneeling down, and hurried forward to help him stand up, and at the same time gently patted his shoulder to comfort him.
"My Lord Chenyue, you are the Lord of Liyue, the head of Mondstadt, and an important person with real power in Inazuma! I am just a small follower of the gods, how can I bear the kneeling ceremony of someone of your noble status! Please stand up quickly!"
"However, since we have already talked about it, I have to remind you. Although you are deeply in love with Shin, you must also know clearly that she is the Thunder God of Inazuma! When it comes to matters of the heart, she may not view them the same way as ordinary people like us."
"So, you have to be mentally prepared enough." Hu Zhaigong put away the smile on his face, his expression became very serious, and he said to Chen Yue solemnly.
"This is a great opportunity! In order to help you get this opportunity, I have set up a big plan! Otherwise, why are all the things so coincidental? Am I right? The hidden boss of the company!"
Chen Yue was surprised when he heard this. He stared at Husaigong with wide eyes and looked at him in disbelief. He asked with a trembling voice, "Could it be that you planned all this? Including... including everything I did to the Three Bugyo and the situation of the Society Bugyo, were all in your calculations?"
Hu Zhaigong smiled slightly, as if she had expected Chen Yue to ask this question. She nodded gently, with a smug smile on her face, as if she was showing off her wisdom and strategy to Chen Yue.
Chen Yue's expression became very complicated, showing shock, confusion, and a hint of admiration.
Hu Zhaigong raised her eyebrows, with an evil smile on her lips and a hint of cunning in her eyes. She looked at Chen Yue and said softly.
"That's about right. How could the timing be so coincidental? I planned this carefully. But don't worry too much. I'm doing this for your own good."
"Chen Yue, if you want to make it in the world you need power and a background. Do you think that you, who just came to Inazuma, have connections as thick as mine?" Her smile became even brighter, as if she was showing off her advantages to Chen Yue.
"The reason why I do this is to allow you to interfere in the affairs of the Three Magistrates with justification, so that your influence in Inazuma can be further enhanced. Moreover, only in this way can you have the opportunity to contact Zhen and let her see your ability and strength." Kitsunesai's eyes became sharper, as if conveying a firm belief to Chen Yue.
"You don't care at all about me doing this? This is really not a very upright behavior." Chen Yue's expression gradually began to become indifferent. He really couldn't understand what Hu Zhaigong wanted to do.
You know, what he is doing now can be regarded as an act of treason, but she doesn't seem to care about it, and even shows some support.
"Care? Haha, you may have misunderstood. I actually agree with you doing this. After all, as you said, 'sometimes identity becomes a heavy shackle that constrains your actions and thoughts.' And I just happen to need a traveler who is not a local to help me deal with some Inazuma affairs."
After hearing what Hu Zhaigong said, Chen Yue couldn't help but be stunned. Traveler? Why is this script so familiar? The same routine, similar identity, to solve the same type of things.
"Aren't you afraid that I will do something out of line?" Chen Yue's eyes still revealed a hint of caution. He stared at Hu Zhaigong closely, as if trying to find some clues from her expression.
However, Husaigong's response surprised him. "No, because I believe in you."
Hu Zhaigong's tone was firm and sincere, as if there was no hesitation or doubt at all. These few simple words were like a warm spring breeze, gently blowing through Chen Yue's heart. He couldn't help but be shocked, and his eyes gradually softened.
Chen Yue stared at Hu Zhaigong, his eyes flashing with trust and determination. This trust gradually dissipated the doubts in his heart, and his originally tense nerves slowly relaxed.
He realized that Huzaigong's trust in him was not groundless, but was based on mutual understanding.
Hu Zhaigong keenly caught the change in Chen Yue, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile. She seemed to be able to see through Chen Yue's inner thoughts and easily guessed his worries at the moment.
"Why, what are you so nervous about? Are you afraid that I will find out about your plan? Or are you afraid that the matter will be exposed? Oh, can you not be so evil? Don't you know who I am?" Hu Zhaigong said, while putting her right hand on Chen Yue's shoulder, deliberately putting on a big sister's posture. There was a bit of teasing and intimacy in her words, which made Chen Yue laugh out loud.
Chen Yue shook his head slightly and said with a wry smile: "I don't have any plans. I'm just a little scared." He knew that Hu Zhaigong was joking, but at the same time he also felt her concern and support.
"You must be sweating profusely, brother. You are showing off your tricks in front of a fox. But don't worry, I will protect you. If you encounter any trouble, just tell me. After all, I am above everyone else. How can I be afraid of anyone?"
"Oh, since you said so, I won't be polite." Chen Yue's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a sly smile, with an imperceptible light flashing in his eyes.
"Just ask for it! As long as it's within my power, I will definitely satisfy you." Kitsai Palace answered generously. She straightened her body, exuding a strong and confident aura, as if she was fully prepared to deal with any challenge.
"I have a good friend whose sister has a deep love for the shrine and has always wanted to become a shrine maiden. I wonder if the chief priest would be willing to give her such a precious opportunity so that she can experience the daily life of a shrine maiden firsthand?"
"Oh, it's just a small matter. Just ask her to come to me tomorrow, and I will personally lead her to visit the shrine."
"But I've done so many things for you, don't you deserve something in return?" Hu Zhaigong reminded Chen Yue by winking at him.
"How much good stuff do you have over there? Would you mind giving me some?"
