Genshin Impact: I am a high-ranking official from various countries

Chapter 278: Past Events (War Begins)

"This kid really overestimates his own abilities! He actually dares to challenge the general!" a soldier snorted disdainfully.

Another soldier chimed in, "Exactly. Who does he think he is? He really takes himself too seriously!"

The people around shook their heads and sighed, with looks of contempt on their faces.

"How do you think the general will deal with him?" someone asked curiously.

"Given the general's personality, he will probably kill that guy right away," a soldier guessed.

"I hope the general can teach him a lesson, but not take his life." A soldier pleaded.

Everyone was talking about it, looking forward to the upcoming battle. They all wanted to see what this overconfident young man was capable of, daring to challenge the powerful general.

Chen Yue stood quietly in the crowd, listening to the discussions of the people around him, without any ripples in his heart. After all, it was still uncertain who would win between him and Ying.

......

"Yue, although I can help you solve the problem of establishing a sect directly, I suggest you tell the people below in advance."

Looking at Chen Yue in front of him, Zhen thought for a moment and said.

"After all, the sudden emergence of a school of thought has snatched away our cake. No matter who it is, it would be hard to accept this." Zhen frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in his tone.

As the Thunder God who is Inazuma's wife, Shin knows Inazuma's situation very well.

In Inazuma, establishing a school requires a series of tedious procedures. First, you must report to the relevant departments in advance and submit detailed application materials. Then, these applications will be forwarded to the Shogun for her personal approval. Finally, based on the approval results, it will be decided whether the school will be allowed to be established and its location will be determined.

Although Chenyue and Zhen have a special relationship and can skip some procedures, Zhen believes that even so, the basic process should still be followed. Doing so can not only ensure that everything is legal and compliant, but also avoid unnecessary trouble and disputes.

"Okay, I'll go talk to them tomorrow, and ask Ying to come out, so we can just have a fight." Chen Yue shrugged in agreement. He understood the real concerns, and knew that in this situation, proper communication and preparation were necessary.

......

"Yue, don't you refute them?" Ying frowned as he listened to the ridicule from the people around him.

He knew Chen Yue's strength, and even she was not sure she could defeat him.

But Chen Yue was too low-key in Inazuma. He usually slept in the castle tower and no one saw him coming in or out. As a result, no one in Inazuma had ever heard of this person.

"Hahaha, it's okay, they don't know me, and I look like a 21-year-old young man, it's normal for them to have that kind of thought."

Chen Yue smiled easily, as if he didn't care about the doubts of the people around him. True strength is not proved by words, but must be demonstrated in battle.

"Yue, are you really ready?" Ying looked at Chen Yue, a trace of worry in his eyes. "I held back in the previous battle, my real strength is actually more than this."

She knew that Chen Yue's strength was unfathomable, but this battle was equally important to her. She didn't want to let Chen Yue get hurt because of her mistakes.

"Don't worry, Ying. Since I dare to challenge you, I must be confident." Chen Yue said with a smile. "Besides, I think I'm stronger than you." His eyes were full of confidence, as if this battle was just a piece of cake for him.

"cut!"

Ying curled her lips slightly. She was both pleased and a little dissatisfied with Chen Yue's confidence. She knew that Chen Yue was not bragging. He did have the strength to fight her, but that didn't mean he could win easily. She, as the guardian of Inazuma and General Lei Dian, was no ordinary person.

The laughter around them became more and more rampant, as if it was going to overturn the sky. But Chen Yue and Ying ignored it. There was a tacit understanding between the two of them that was difficult for others to understand. At this moment, they only had each other and the upcoming contest in their hearts.

"Are you ready?" Ying's voice sounded coldly, and at the same time he took out his razor and waved it casually a few times, as if he was full of confidence in the upcoming battle.

"I should be the one asking you this question, after all, you are my brother-in-law!" Chen Yue responded with a sneer, and at the same time took out a huge scroll from his back. He quickly opened the scroll and took out a dagger that flashed with cold light. This dagger came from Liyue, was extremely sharp, and flashed with mysterious light.

"So, do you want me to go easy on you later, my dear sister?" As soon as Chen Yue finished speaking, the air seemed to freeze in silence for a moment. Although his words were a little joking, the provocation in them could not be ignored.

Ying frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with Chen Yue's words. However, she did not get angry immediately, but stared at Chen Yue coldly, with a hint of anger flashing in her eyes.

Chen Yue seemed to be aware of Ying's displeasure, but he did not restrain his behavior. On the contrary, his smile became more wanton, and the dagger in his hand swayed slightly, as if to show Ying his strength.

"Oh? Sister, you seem angry. Are you afraid of losing to me, your brother?" Chen Yue deliberately provoked Ying, trying to make her lose her calm.

Ying's face turned gloomy. She held the razor tightly, and her eyes revealed a strong murderous intent. She knew that Chen Yue was deliberately provoking her, but she also knew that if she didn't control her emotions, she would easily fall into a passive position. So she took a deep breath and tried to calm the waves in her heart.

"This little trick won't work on me." The razor in Ying's hand was already emitting a faint lightning light. "I will do my best, and I hope you won't let me down."

As Ying finished speaking, the atmosphere around them instantly became tense. Chen Yue felt the powerful aura emanating from Ying, but his eyes remained calm. He knew that this battle would be a real contest between him and Ying, and he could not afford to be careless.

"How about we compete in martial arts first, and then go all out? This way the people in Inazuma Castle can watch more carefully."

Chen Yue's voice echoed in the tense air, with a sense of ease and confidence. His proposal startled Ying for a moment, but he nodded in agreement.

Chen Yue did this to make the contest fairer and to prove their strength to the people of Inazuma. After all, one is Inazuma's Thunder General and the other is Inazuma's future King of War.
