In Genshin Impact, we start to save the Five Yakshas.

Chapter 263 You Really Won’t Lie

Inside the Opera House

At this moment, all the audience were staring at the huge box in front of them with full anticipation.

It was because the great magician Linni from Fontaine had just boasted that he could teleport the water god directly into the box.

Everyone knew that the water goddess had escaped from the opera house, and it was her escape that caused the resentment in people's hearts to completely erupt.

Some of them had witnessed with their own eyes the Fontaine people turning into water and disappearing before their eyes, so there was no panic.

One is because of the trust in the water god, and the other is because of the reverence for the god of justice that was instilled in him since childhood.

They originally thought that Funina would find a way to solve the problem, but the latter's escape made them completely panic.

Can't do it or... don't want to do it?

Once the seeds of questioning God appear, they are difficult to disappear, and the fear of death is the best nutrient for the seeds to germinate.

“Hey guys, let’s count down for 10 seconds, okay?”

Linnie stood near the huge iron box. He heard a barely perceptible click coming from inside the box and knew that the people were there.

Now is the beginning of the grand performance.

10

9

.....

2

1

As the number reached zero, Linny snapped his fingers, and the next moment, the huge iron box slowly collapsed, and everyone saw the bewildered Funina.

......

"Opera House? What are they trying to do? Why are they bringing Funina back in this form?"

If it was a performance, Jiang Xun didn't believe it. Could it be...

An absurd yet reasonable idea appeared in his mind and could not be shaken off.

His feeling told him that this idea was most likely true.

Jiang Xun hurried to the entrance of the opera house, and the guarding at the door further confirmed his guess.

A trial is going on in the opera house, but unlike previous trials, the object of this trial is not a human, but Funina, the water goddess who has always been regarded as justice itself by the people of Fontaine.

“Whose idea was it? Villette?”

Jiang Xun lowered his head and thought.

He felt that this was possible, so it seemed that he had to go there. Before completing the task, nothing could happen to Funina, and he had to bring her out safely even if he had to force his way in.

He looked up and was about to go to the opera house when a girl appeared in front of him.

The girl's delicate eyes stared at him without blinking, her expression calm, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Jiang Xun raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Of course I received the message from Funina."

Jiang Ruoli's voice was cold, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.

Jiang Xun held his forehead with his hand, feeling somewhat helpless: "Didn't I tell you not to get close to Funina recently?"

"Then why did you sneak off to the opera without telling me?"

"I...."

Jiang Xun was speechless. He looked at Jiang Ruoli with a little surprise, and then realized his negligence.

After spending a long time with Jiang Ruoli, he subconsciously regarded the girl as someone who should be protected, but ignored her identity as an immortal.

"Well, that's because I like the scenery here and want to take a walk."

Jiang Xun was still struggling, trying to explain his behavior, but it could be seen from Jiang Ruoli's expression.

She didn't believe it at all.

Jiang Ruoli took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Huh, father, you are really not good at lying..."

Jiang Xun was silent.

"Although I don't know why you want me to stay away from Funina, I know you won't hurt me."

"I just don't understand why you don't want to tell me the real reason?!"

"Have you always treated me as an outsider?!"

Having said that, Jiang Ruoli's expression was no longer calm, and her grievance was evident in her words.

.....

After a while, Jiang Xun spoke.

"The reason I didn't tell you was because I was worried that you would be involved in this matter after knowing it."

"Because even I can't predict how things will turn out, and I don't know what will happen in the future."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruoli ran up to Jiang Xun, raised her little face, and looked at him with firm eyes.

“I’m not afraid!”

One second, two seconds, as time passed little by little, but Jiang Ruoli still didn't get the answer she wanted.

A look of desolation suddenly appeared in her eyes. She herself didn't understand. It was clearly just an unnecessary answer, why did she feel so uncomfortable?

Is it because she cares about Jiang Xun’s true opinion of her?

Did he regard her as a casual alchemical work like most alchemists, or did he truly regard her as a family member?

But now, the answer seems obvious.

Jiang Ruoli slowly lowered her head, not wanting anyone to see her expression at this moment.

"I'm sorry, I was being unreasonable..."

My eyes were a little moist, and tears gathered uncontrollably in my eyes, piling up more and more.

The next moment, tears slowly slid down her fair cheeks. Jiang Ruoli slowly turned around and walked forward slowly.

She didn't know where she was going, but her body subconsciously wanted to leave.

"Okay, okay, come with me, let's go to the opera first, and then I'll tell you everything."

Jiang Ruoli's body trembled slightly when she heard this, and she seemed a little unconvinced, and then she asked in a slightly choked voice: "Are you willing to tell me?"

"I don't want to, but I don't want to see you like this."

Jiang Xun's helpless yet caring tone touched Jiang Ruoli's heart directly. Maybe... she was really thinking too much. Jiang Xun had never regarded her as a simple work, but treated her as a real family member.

Thinking of this, the girl smiled again, and this smile seemed to bring more ease and peace of mind than before.

"Okay, Father!"

......

Because he had to explain to Jiang Ruoli, Jiang Xun cut to the chase and picked out the important parts. However, he still didn't mention the existence of the system. It's not that he didn't want to say it, but as his own strength grew, he became more wary of the hidden powers in the world.

As the saying goes, walls have ears. If you don’t want others to know, the best option is to keep silent.

Since the previous conversation wasted some time, Jiang Xun quickened his pace and rushed to the opera house. He easily took Jiang Ruoli around the guards and went straight to the courtroom.

"You are very familiar with it!"

"Of course, this isn't the first time I've come here."

Jiang Xun answered Jiang Ruoli's question subconsciously, and immediately felt something was wrong, so he changed his words and said, "In fact, I only came here a few times."

"Humph."

Jiang Ruoli just snorted a few times when she saw this and did not pursue the matter any further, only because what happened in the courtroom made her even more concerned.

"If I am not the Water God, then who is the real Water God and where is she?"

Finina's voice echoed throughout the courtroom and was heard by the two people who arrived.

"Jiang Xun's attention was immediately drawn, because he also wanted to know where the real water god was?"

"Since Ms. Funina is convinced that she is the God of Water, do you dare to touch the water of the Primordial Sea yourself?"

When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked, including Jiang Xun, who frowned.

Such a big deal?!
