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

Chapter 211 Past Events (Discussions and Contradictions)

The sharp blade slashed through the air like lightning, making a sharp whistling sound, and instantly scratched Ying's side face. Blood oozed from the wound, staining her cheek red. However, Ying did not retreat, she flashed and quickly avoided the attack.

Chen Yue's figure appeared behind Ying like a ghost.

"Ying, maybe my martial arts are not as good as yours, but close combat also requires strategy." Chen Yue said with a smile, with a hint of confidence in his voice. He took a step forward, swung the long sword in his hand, brought a gust of wind, and chopped directly at Ying's back.

The whole set of movements was as smooth as flowing water, done in one go, without the slightest hesitation or delay. Every movement was extremely precise, as if it had been honed through thousands of trials. It all happened so fast that bystanders could hardly see their movements clearly.

Ying felt a strong murderous aura coming from behind. She turned sideways like the wind and grabbed his wrist at a speed that Chen Yue could not even imagine.

"Your martial arts have indeed improved, Chen Yue." Ying's voice was calm and cold, as if she had no emotion at all, but her eyes were so deep that it was hard to read. "However, you are still no match for me."

"Not necessarily!"

With a flash of his body, Chen Yue appeared behind Ying again, with the hilt of the knife in his hand pressed tightly against Ying's back.

"Ying, you don't understand me enough. You lost this competition." Chen Yue said with a sneer, his eyes flashing with confidence.

Ying frowned slightly, reached out to wipe the blood off his face, and a hint of barely perceptible excitement appeared in his eyes.

"It seems that I still underestimated you, Chen Yue. However, this competition is not over yet." Ying said softly, keeping a distance from Chen Yue.

Chen Yue took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing rhythm, and his eyes became calm and focused again. He held the hilt of the knife tightly with both hands, ready to launch a new round of attack.

Two kunai were seen spinning rapidly at Chen Yue's fingertips, like two flying elves. Suddenly, he waved his arm, and the kunai flew in an arc-shaped trajectory to the left and right sides of Ying.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Yue's figure rushed forward like lightning, forming two completely different attacks, one fast and one slow.

After the fierce battle just now, Ying clearly realized that Chen Yue had the ability to teleport to Kunashi's location at any time and anywhere at will.

Because of this, this time when facing the attack, Ying did not choose to dodge, but decided to adopt another strategy - she quickly swung the razor in her hand and accurately deflected the two rapidly attacking kunai.

However, it was this seemingly simple action that caused the expressions of the two people present to change drastically in an instant.

The kunai on the left pierced the tree trunk as expected, without causing any abnormalities; but the kunai on the right unexpectedly changed its flight trajectory and rushed straight in a certain direction.

"Really!" Ying couldn't help but exclaimed, his eyes closely following the flying kunai, a strong sense of uneasiness rising in his heart.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yue did not dare to hesitate at all. He flashed and appeared where Kuwu was. However, due to the influence of inertia, he collided heavily with Zhen.

However, as Chen Yue was flying backwards, he cleverly exchanged positions with Zhen, so that he was at the bottom and Zhen was at the top.

In Zhen's eyes, everything happened so suddenly. They were originally exchanging martial arts to their heart's content, when suddenly a black shadow rushed towards them like an arrow, and then the black shadow turned into a person in the blink of an eye.

Chen Yue and Zhen crashed heavily into the tree trunk behind them. There was a loud bang, and the tree trunk broke, with broken wood flying everywhere, and the two men fell to the ground.

Chen Yue quickly got up from the ground, and looked down at Zhen in his arms anxiously, his eyes full of worry. Zhen also came back to her senses at this time, she raised her head and stared at Chen Yue, a flash of surprise flashed across her eyes, and then was replaced by deep gratitude and relief.

"Are you okay?" Chen Yue asked softly, carefully checking whether there were any injuries on Zhen's body. Zhen shook his head gently and replied with a smile: "I'm fine, thank you."

Ying walked quickly to the two of them, and was relieved to see that they were fine. "Zhen, why are you here?"

"Yeah, at this time normally, aren't you still handling official business? Could something have happened to Inazuma again?" Although Chen Yue knew the purpose of Zhen's visit, he still had to put on some superficial effort.

"Something did happen, but it's not what you imagined. I came here to see Chen and make an appointment with you." Zhen slowly stood up from the ground, patted the wood chips off his body, and then spoke.

Chen Yue was secretly delighted, with the corners of his mouth rising slightly in an imperceptible arc. He knew that the next moment would be his highlight moment.

"Oh, is it about what happened this morning with San Fengxing? I remember I didn't hit him that hard?" Chen Yue scratched his head pretending to be embarrassed, and at the same time muttered to himself: It's just grabbing two people's heads and slamming them into each other, and my strength wasn't that great.

"You misunderstood. Although this matter is indeed related to the Three Commissioners, it is not entirely due to the conflict this morning." Zhen shook his head slightly. Seeing this, Chen Yue's originally relaxed smile on his face slowly faded.

"Really, don't tell me yet, let me guess what it is."

Chen Yue rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "As far as I know, the Three Magistrates have long been the three most important organizations in Inazuma Castle. They each have different responsibilities and missions, and they always maintain a delicate balance with each other."

"But now, this balance has obviously been broken. It is really unexpected that the three magistrates would erupt into such a fierce dispute in public!"

"Just when you were having a headache, you suddenly remembered what I said before, so you came to ask for my advice with the mentality of giving it a try."

"There's nothing wrong with what I said, really. To be honest, I'm not surprised by your coming. After all, I've dealt with this kind of thing before."

Chen Yue's words made Zhen show an expression of approval. "Indeed, your guess is not far from the truth. There has long been a delicate balance between the three magistrates, but friction has frequently occurred recently."

"First, there were some disagreements between the Tenryo Bugyo and the Kanjo Bugyo over property and the military, and then some social activities organized by the Sha Bugyo caused quite a bit of controversy. These seemingly minor incidents were like stones thrown into a lake, causing ripples."
