Chapter 544 Afternoon Rest
……
In the lounge of the Opikley Opera House, the atmosphere seemed a little solemn and depressing at the moment.
All members of Linny Magic Group sat here with anxious looks on their faces. Their movements were restricted and they could only stay here except for going to the toilet.
At this moment, the door of the lounge was slowly pushed open, and Shao Yun's eyes fell on the brother and sister Linni and Linnit who were sitting in their seats, and then he said: "Linni, Linnit, I asked Yan Fei to come over."
As Shao Yun finished speaking, Yan Fei followed him into the room.
She just smiled and nodded to everyone calmly and confidently.
Shao Yun then introduced the Linni siblings, "If you have any problems next, just talk to her. I believe Yan Fei will definitely help you clear your grievances."
Yan Fei, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but shake her head slightly with a hint of shyness when she heard Shao Yun's high praise. She responded modestly, "Oh, you're too kind!"
Yet, despite her humble words, she is confident about the lawsuit.
Then, Yan Fei turned her gaze to Linni and Linnette, and said sincerely: "Generally speaking, I will not easily make an absolute promise before taking over a case."
"However, just now when we were on the road, Shao Yun had already roughly told me the situation."
At this point, she paused for a moment, sorted out her thoughts, and continued, "After a preliminary understanding, I think I am fully confident that I can clear your grievances."
"Not only that, if conditions permit, I might be able to get some reasonable compensation for you, such as mental damages!"
Hearing this, Linny shook his head repeatedly to refuse, “No, no, no, as long as we can prove our innocence and get rid of these groundless accusations, that’s enough.”
"As for asking for compensation or something, there's really no need for that!"
Linnie knew that after all, he was a member of the Hearth House, a group of fools, so it would be better not to be too ostentatious.
Now the Fatui's reputation in Teyvat can't be any worse.
On the surface, the Fatui are in Mondstadt, killing the Knights of the Order of Favonius.
In Liyue, the resurrection of the former demon god caused panic.
At Inazuma, he detonated the Heart of the Shadow and killed the Second Raijin.
In Xumi, launch indiscriminate terrorist attacks in Xumi City.
It would be disastrous if my identity was exposed in Fontaine.
What's more, Shao Yun and his group hated the Fatui to the core. God knows what would have happened to them if they knew that they were part of the Fatui.
When Yan Fei heard Lin Ni say that he did not need the so-called mental damage compensation, she naturally stopped talking and went straight to the point.
"Well, that's good. I've read the detailed information about this case and I understand it pretty well."
"However, in order to defend you more perfectly, I may have to ask you some questions next."
Lini nodded slightly and said readily, "Okay, no problem! Just ask."
Shao Yun, who was standing by, saw that there seemed to be nothing for him to do at the moment, so he smiled and waved at the two of them, left a brief word, and turned to leave the lounge.
"Well, you guys chat slowly, I won't bother you for now."
After saying that, Shao Yun reached out and pushed open the door of the lounge.
However, the moment Shao Yun just stepped out of the room, Ying, Paimon and Navia, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, immediately came forward impatiently.
Paimon asked anxiously, "How is it? Is there anything Yan Fei can help us with?"
Shao Yun looked at Paimeng, who was worried and confused, and said calmly: "Don't worry, just leave it to Yan Fei. We have told her all the evidence and clues. We don't need to worry. Trust Yan Fei."
After hearing Shao Yun's reasons, Paimeng's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
"That's right. Yan Fei is a famous and capable legal expert! With her strength and wisdom, it will be effortless for her to prove Linni's innocence..."
Seeing this, Shao Yun smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, we have almost done what we can do now. It's time to think about what to do next. There is still half a day left. What should we do?"
Since there is no practical point in staying in the opera house, I might as well take this opportunity to plan the rest of my time.
At this moment, Navia's eyes suddenly turned, and she quickly suggested: "Oh, by the way, I wonder if you are free now?"
Seeing that Navia seemed to have other important things to discuss with his group, Paimon couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's the matter? Is there any new situation?"
Navia's cheeks flushed slightly, revealing the reserve and shyness that is unique to young girls when they are trying to find something to say, and she spoke hesitantly.
"Well, um... let's work together to find evidence, and we've even hired a lawyer to help."
"If you think about it this way, we should be considered close partners fighting side by side on the same front, right? So, I think... can we..."
Having said this, Navia deliberately kept the audience in suspense and stopped talking, but she still glanced at the exit of the opera house.
Shao Yun crossed his arms and asked calmly, "So, you want to communicate with us more? Like make friends or something like that?"
After hearing what Shao Yun said, Navia nodded repeatedly and asked cautiously and tentatively: "Yes, I wonder if it is possible?"
Shao Yun did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Ying and Paimeng beside him, indicating that the power of decision-making should be given to them.
Ying noticed Shao Yun's gaze and couldn't help but shout in surprise: "Ah? Why are you looking at me suddenly? Paimeng and I want to hear your decision..."
Shao Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, and said helplessly: "I just don't want us to get into any unnecessary trouble."
"If it's just normal making friends, what special ideas can I have..." He said, shaking his head slightly.
……
Although there seemed some confusion as to who had the final say on whether to make friends with Navia, the final result was clear: Shao Yun and his group became Navia's friends.
Afterwards, Navia suggested taking everyone around Fontaine so that they could get familiar with the environment and routes as soon as possible.
As for Miles and Silver, they stayed and provided help to Yan Fei.
Before they knew it, the group arrived at a place called Chiori-ya.
Seeing this, Navia stopped, turned around, and introduced Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng softly.
"Come, come, I want to introduce my good friend to you - Qianzhi. She is a fashion designer, and the clothes she makes are very beautiful!"
After saying this, she stroked the exquisite and gorgeous dress on her body and added: "Just like the dress I'm wearing now, it was made by Qianzhi."
"Moreover, many of the uniforms worn by the members of the Thorn Rose Society were also carefully designed and made by her!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Navia's eyes fell on Ailov, who was standing at the door as a receptionist.
She walked up quickly and asked with concern: "Ailuofu, how do you feel today? Has your stomachache eased a little?"
When Ai Luofu heard Navia's greeting, she forced out a wry smile and responded, "Thank you Miss Navia for your concern. I feel much better now."
Navia looked at Ailov's face carefully, and saw that she was indeed not as pale and haggard as before, so she felt relieved, breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked again.
"That's great, but then again, where is Chiori right now?"
Elove raised her hand and pointed inside the store.
"Sister Qianzhi is in the store, she needs me..."
When she heard that Qianzhi was in the store, Navia quickly interrupted her thoughts.
"Don't bother you, Eloise. Just know that she's in the store. We can go in and find her ourselves."
As she spoke, Navia led Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng in.
……
At this time, the sunlight shone through the window onto the seat where Qianzhi was sitting. She was sitting there concentrating, holding the needle and thread tightly in her hands, carefully mending the "Gunner Girl Suit" of Ying on the table in front of her.
Just then, a clear and pleasant doorbell suddenly rang.
Qianzhi didn't even raise her head. She continued to skillfully repair the torn parts of her clothes and subconsciously said, "Welcome to Qianzhi's house. If you have any clothing needs, please tell Ai Luofu now. I'm busy."
As soon as she finished speaking, Navia shouted to Chizhi who was still working hard, "Chizhi, I brought a friend with me!"
Chizhi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the familiar voice.
"Ah, it's you, Navia. Please take a seat. Please take a seat. I'm sorry, I'm really too busy now and don't have time to entertain you properly."
Navia didn't care about Qianzhi's busyness, but put her hands behind her back and came to Qianzhi's side with a smile.
"Wow, Chiori, you look really busy... But from the looks of it, your business should be pretty good!"
Qianzhi smiled helplessly, but her hands did not stop moving at all. She replied while mending the clothes: "Hey, I didn't make any money on this order!"
"I accidentally mistook a customer for someone who was causing trouble in the store...but after the misunderstanding was resolved, I found out that he was actually my client!"
At this point, Qianzhi shook her head slightly.
"As an apology, I will repair it for free..."
After hearing what Qianzhi said, Ying and Paimon looked at each other with helpless expressions on their faces.
Then, they all turned their eyes to Shao Yun who was standing aside. They could guess by intuition who the person that Qianzhi was talking about was.
Shao Yun shrugged innocently, saying that there was nothing he could do about it. It was because his temperament was so unique that it was inevitable that people would misunderstand him.
