Chapter 483: Master's Orders Are Hard to Disobey
When General Lei Dian blocked the spear thrown by Thomas, the airflow created blew Ying and Paimon to a safe place.
General Lei Dian was sure that she would not make such a mistake, but someone interfered with her, and the only person who could do this was her inner shadow.
"Go and capture them."
General Lei Dian turned around and gave instructions to Liu Bai who was not far away.
"Ah...? Yes, Master Kitchen!"
Liu Bai was stunned for a moment, then immediately agreed after he came to his senses.
Then Liu Bai immediately chased in the direction Ying and the others fled.
On the other side, Thomas took Ying and the others to hide in the Mulou Teahouse.
"Eh? Why did you stop here?"
They stopped at the Mulou Teahouse and Paimon couldn't help but ask Thomas.
"Have you forgotten that for me, hiding in the Mulou Teahouse is the safest place nearby."
Thomas explained to Paimon and the others.
Due to the special nature of the Mokulou Teahouse, even the soldiers of the Tenryo Bugyo could not enter to search without the permission of the Shabugyo.
"Traveler, Thomas, I'm so glad you're all right."
At this moment, Kamisato Ayaka also came out and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that they had returned safely.
"Hehe, Miss, maybe it's a little too early to be happy..."
Thomas scratched his head awkwardly, then explained the details of the Eye Hunting Ceremony to Kamisato Ayaka.
After defying General Thunder, the Traveler and her companions are now wanted.
"That would be terrible. Once we are wanted, it would be difficult for us to even leave the Mulou Teahouse..."
"Traveler, why don't you go to Taliangsha to find the resistance?"
Kamisato Ayaka thought for a while and quickly suggested this to Ying.
The so-called resistance army is an organization organized by the [Current Human God Priestess] Coral Palace Xinhai of Kaiji Island, whose goal is to resist the Eye Hunting Order.
Ying and the others had heard Kamisato Ayaka talk about the resistance army before, but just as they were about to respond, changes suddenly occurred around them.
Invisible sword energy appeared in mid-air and transformed into countless sword blades aimed at everyone in the Mulou Tea Room. Everyone, including Kamisato Ayaka and Toma, was instantly locked by the sword energy, and their bodies became unable to move.
"Little yellow hair, where are you going?"
After controlling everyone in the Mulou Tea Room, Liu Bai walked in from the door, greeted Ying and asked questions.
"Liu, Liu Sha... uh, Liu Bai, what are you doing? Let us go!"
When Paimeng saw Liu Bai walking in, he immediately understood where the flying swords floating in the air, which were condensed from sword energy and looked like crystal, came from.
After all, when Paimon helped the Traveler prepare the "Tomb of the Traveler", he also saw these flying swords.
"Ahem, according to the order of the Master Kitchen God, I am here to arrest you."
Liu Bai coughed lightly to explain, but still put away all the flying swords.
Anyway, even without the flying swords, they can't escape.
"Who is the Master Kitchen God?"
Paimeng breathed a sigh of relief when he found that his body had regained the ability to move, and couldn't help but ask Liu Bai.
"You don't mean... General Raiden?"
Ying, who had regained her ability to move, rubbed her neck and asked subconsciously.
I think I saw Liu Bai at the Eye Hunting Ceremony just now?
What impressed Ying the most was that when he entered the "Remembrance Space" to challenge Liu Bai, the title of [Kitchen God's Disciple] appeared on Liu Bai's health bar, and at that time he used a spatula to attack with lightning.
"That's right, Master Kitchen God is my master."
Liu Bai nodded affirmatively in response.
Hearing Liu Bai's confirmation, Kamisato Ayaka was a little surprised but at the same time understood.
In this case, he should be the one who walked in and out of the castle tower a year ago...
Kamisato Ayaka confirmed this in her heart.
A year ago, when Liu Bai was learning from General Lei Dian, he was free to enter and leave the castle tower every morning without reporting. It would be difficult for anyone not to notice such a special person.
However, one day after that, Liu Bai suddenly disappeared from Inazuma, causing Kamisato Ayaka to not know who that person was. Even though she had met Liu Bai because of Funina some time ago, she still didn't figure it out.
"Wow, even if that's the case... we are still members of the same adventuring group. You can't just capture us and hand us over to General Raiden, right?"
After Liu Bai confirmed his relationship with General Raiden, Paimeng said somewhat depressedly.
"That's right, Brother Liu Bai, we are family."
Krevy on the side also nodded in agreement.
Ying didn't say anything, but started thinking about how to change Liu Bai's mind.
After battling wits with Liu Bai so many times in the recollection space, she also has her own ideas on how to deal with Liu Bai.
"Alas, although I like you little yellow-haired guys very much, it is difficult to disobey the master's orders. You should just surrender."
Liu Bai sighed and shook his head.
"Well... Liu Bai, since we are companions, please give us a chance. Count from one to five, and then chase us. How about that?"
After some thought, Ying came up with an idea and immediately proposed it to Liu Bai.
“…Well, that’s fine.”
Liu Bai scratched his head and accepted Ying's suggestion.
"Well, close your eyes and start counting down."
Ying nodded, then signaled to Paimon and Klevi beside her, asking them to come closer to her.
"Okay, five..."
Liu Bai nodded, then closed his eyes and began to count down.
Ying asked Paimon, Klevi and the others to get ready, then waved goodbye to Kamisato Ayaka and Thomas who were standing beside her.
"Liu Shazi! I ask you, what is π?"
Just as Liu Bai started counting down, Ying suddenly asked another question.
As a traveler who has been to many worlds, she still understands this little bit of math.
"Four... pi? Pi? 3.14... er, 159?"
Hearing Ying's sudden question, Liu Bai froze in place and spoke with some uncertainty.
After thinking hard for a while, Liu Bai still couldn't recite the following numbers, so he had to admit defeat and opened his eyes.
At the scene, Ying, Paimon and the others had long disappeared, and even Thomas had gone into hiding because he was wanted. Only Kamisato Ayaka was left standing there waiting for Liu Bai to open his eyes.
"Mr. Liu Bai, the traveler asked me to tell you that Pai is half Paimon."
Seeing Liu Bai open his eyes, Kamisato Ayaka, who had been waiting quietly beside him, finally spoke.
"…It turns out to be Hanra Paimon!"
"I just said it was emergency food. Thank you for being flexible in the mountains. I'll go chase them first."
Liu Bai licked his lips, then waved to Kamisato Ayaka, turned around and left the Mulou Tea House.
"Hopefully he's just kidding..."
Watching Liu Bai leave, Kamisato Ayaka could only pray silently for Ying and the others.
