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

Chapter 191: Past Events (Letter)

"I have three sins: I failed to kill the monster, control the lily, and guard Baal."

In Liyue's Aozang Mountain, Chen Yue, who had already become a leader, was writing a few letters.

Although he had read the letter more than ten times, he still felt an inexplicable sense of loss deep in his heart.

Chen Yue has an amazing memory. He knows the upcoming war and the list of people who may encounter unexpected events. Sasayuri, the general of the Inazuma Tengu clan, is one of the unfortunate ones.

Perhaps it was precisely because he was unable to prevent the series of tragic events in Liyue from happening that Chen Yue was determined to do his best to save everyone who could still be saved.

“I don’t know if it’s too late, but taking action is better than doing nothing.”

After carefully examining the contents of the envelope once more, he sealed it with layers of wrapping and handed it to his most trusted subordinate.

"Remember, you must follow the sea route I drew. The destination is the country where cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and the country dominated by purple tones."

"In fact, I would like to go there myself to investigate, but unfortunately the war is still going on and it is difficult for me to leave Liyue. I have no choice but to entrust it to you this time."

Chen Yue's eyes were full of anticipation, as if what he was delivering was not just a letter, but also the glory of an era.

The subordinate knew the importance of this trip, so he took the envelope with both hands and nodded carefully. "My lord, please rest assured that I will live up to your trust and deliver the letter safely."

"This journey is extremely dangerous. Not only must you avoid the attacks of the sea demons, but you must also be vigilant against the Thunder Sea. At the same time, you must ensure that the envelope is delivered to the right person."

"One of them is Sasayuri, the leader of the Tengu clan. He is wearing a mask and looks very handsome."

"The second one is a girl with two horns on her head. Her name is Miyu Chiyo and she is a member of the demon clan."

"The third one is a girl with white fur and fox ears. She is Kitsunesaigumi, the chief priest of Narujin Taisha Shrine."

"Finally, there are two women who look exactly alike. You must not make a mistake. The one with longer sleeves and holding a knife is good at commanding and is called Lei Dian Zhen. The one with shorter sleeves, good at fighting and holding a razor is called Lei Dian Ying."

"The one you are looking for is Lei Dianzhen. She is the supreme ruler of the area and a god like the Emperor. She has an easygoing personality, so you can go find her directly. Given her personality, she will not refuse after knowing the seriousness of the matter."

"But if you accidentally call the wrong names, then unfortunately, this day next year will be the day you die. I will personally hold a memorial service for you."

Then, Chen Yue lowered his voice and spoke softly.

"You must not disclose this matter, especially the matter of Zhen and Ying. They are a pair of twin demons. You must not let anyone know about it."

The subordinate was sweating profusely after hearing this. Chen Yue's words hit his heart like a heavy hammer. This mission not only concerns Chen Yue, but also involves secrets that he doesn't know. Taking a deep breath, the subordinate said in a deep voice.

"My Lord, I understand. I will be very careful on this trip and will not reveal any secrets."

Chen Yue nodded, took out an exquisite jade pendant from his arms and handed it to the subordinate.

"This is a token of your love. With this jade pendant, you can safely cross the Thunder Sea. When the locals see it and your clothes, they will know that you are an extraordinary person."

The subordinate took the jade pendant and bowed deeply: "Sir, I will fulfill my mission and deliver the letter safely."

Chen Yue nodded: "Very good, you just need to tell me the situation before you die. No matter what the result is, I must know it."

"If you complete this task, you and your descendants will enjoy wealth and prosperity forever." Chen Yue patted his subordinate on the shoulder and promised solemnly.

"Go, Mu Feng, the boat is ready. You are not traveling alone. I have arranged a special person for you, and the boat is also specially made for you. But remember, you must come back alive to see me."

40 years later.

My lord, we have discovered the wreckage of a huge shipwreck in the sea above Guyun Pavilion.

Chen Yue stood in front of the window of a tall building, gazing at the distant sea, his eyes were deep and complex. Hearing the report from his subordinates, his brows slightly furrowed, and an inexplicable premonition arose in his heart.

"Shipwreckage? Is there anything unusual?" Chen Yue asked in a low voice.

"My lord, the wreckage of this ship is huge and unusual. And we found some special marks in the wreckage, which seem to be... the marks of Tang Feng." The subordinate answered cautiously.

When Chen Yue heard this, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes. He immediately turned to the map and carefully examined the location of Guyun Pavilion, and began to feel uneasy.

Chen Yue took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Send someone to Guyun Pavilion immediately to investigate the truth. Be sure to act with caution and don't alarm the snake."

The subordinates took the order and left, but Chen Yue fell into deep thought.

This matter is quite unusual, he must go to Guyun Pavilion in person to find out the truth. He must not let his years of hard work go to waste, and he must not let Tang Feng take risks.

Quickly assembling an elite force, Chen Yue personally led the team to Guyun Pavilion. A few days later, they arrived at the Guyun Pavilion sea area.

Chen Yue felt a growing sense of foreboding, so he quickly ordered a search throughout the sea area. Soon, a familiar skull appeared before his eyes.

It was quiet, as quiet as a dead pool. Chen Yue's pupils shrank sharply, and he lifted the skull to examine it carefully. After a long time, he put it down.

"Give him a good burial!"

Chen Yue's voice was low and slightly trembling, as if every word was carrying an extremely heavy sadness.

He slowly turned around, facing the endless, turbulent sea, and deep in his heart he felt a surge of resentment and melancholy that could not be expressed in words.

The skull in front of him was undoubtedly that of Tang Mufeng, a capable general he had sent out to carry out a mission. The young man who had once vowed to complete his mission and achieve success was now only a cold skeleton.

An uncontrollable rage suddenly ignited in Chen Yue's heart. He really couldn't understand how things had developed to this point and why Tang Mufeng had died here.

He turned around again, staring intently at the group of well-trained and well-equipped elite soldiers behind him.

Every face showed a serious and sad expression. Obviously, their mood at the moment was exactly the same as Chen Yue's. They were all shocked and overwhelmed by this sudden bad news, and at the same time felt deeply painful and sad.

"The skeleton has been eroded to this point by the sea water. Why did you only know about it now? You all know that this matter means a lot to me!"

"My lord, please calm down. I failed in my duty and I hope you will forgive me. The situation on the sea has been quite tense recently. I think it must be the work of the demon hidden in the deep sea."

"Good! Very good! Very good! From today on, I will develop a navy and conquer the sea demons until the war is over. Every time I kill a demon, I will extract its bone marrow and soak it in wine to drink."

Although he did not receive a response, Chen Yue still kept his promise and preserved the prosperity and wealth of Tang Feng's descendants. The most powerful among them has become the current Liyue Seven Stars.
