Chapter 3 The Mysterious Master of Princess Bailu

Returning to the Tenryou Commission to make the necessary records, it was already close to dusk.

"From now on, you are a 'Doushin' of the Tenryou Commission."

The young lady in charge of registration's eyes sparkled as she appraised Qin Yu from head to toe.

Such a tall and handsome figure!

'Doushin' was equivalent to a deputy chief in a police department in another world, possessing considerable authority.

Moreover, this was the fastest-advancing young man in the Tenryou Commission, with an immeasurable future.

Perhaps he would soon become a capable samurai serving the Shogun herself!

Qin Yu held the samurai armor belonging to a Doushin and turned around.

He joked, "Miss, is there something strange about me? For you to stare like that."

The young lady's face flushed. With a hint of playful resentment, she shot him a glance.

*This sister isn't just staring, she wants to devour you!*

How many times had these words been whispered in the lonely depths of the night?

Alas, she still lacked the courage to speak them aloud, only able to sigh in her heart.

Such a handsome youth, one truly wondered which ravenous woman he would end up with in the future...

"I'll treat you to a meal next time I have the chance."

Qin Yu smiled, ignoring the envious gazes from those around him, and calmly departed.

Having finally received his salary, it was time for a reward.

First, a San Cai Dango.

Exiting the Tenryou Commission, a distant elegant figure caught his eye.

The maiden's skin was like snow, her posture graceful. Bathed in the glow of falling cherry blossoms, she was a vision of pure beauty.

It was Kamisato Ayaka.

She had been watching this place, and upon seeing Qin Yu emerge, she smiled and waved.

"This way."

Around him, a large number of Tenryou Commission personnel stared daggers at Qin Yu.

*This kid actually caught the eye of the White Heron Princess?*

"..."

Qin Yu felt a pang of helplessness but could only ignore the envious gazes and walked over.

"Young Miss."

"Congratulations, the youngest Doushin in the history of the Tenryou Commission."

Qin Yu smiled. Such an achievement was insignificant in the eyes of the Kamisato family's young lady.

Seeing Qin Yu still calm and amiable, Kamisato Ayaka's smile grew even gentler.

[Ding, received emotional points from Kamisato Ayaka.]

Receiving emotional points unexpectedly, Qin Yu was a bit uncertain of Kamisato Ayaka's intentions.

"May I ask why you are here, Young Miss..."

"I came to report this matter. I hope the Tenryou Commission can soon apprehend the mastermind behind the assassination."

"?"

Qin Yu found it peculiar. It was the first time he'd heard of a young lady from the Yashiro Commission coming to the Tenryou Commission to file a report.

*Is the Oniwabanshu out of control, or has your brother lost his edge?*

Qin Yu's gaze swept around the vicinity, then he lowered his voice:

"I've recently heard that the Tri-Commission is in heated debate over the potential issuance of a Vision Hunt Decree..."

Having said this much, Qin Yu fell silent.

With his limited influence, crossing the line would undoubtedly invite disaster.

Having gone through the trouble of transmigrating to the world of Genshin Impact, laying low and keeping a low profile was always the right choice.

After all, it would all eventually be resolved by the Traveler who traversed the continent of Teyvat.

As long as your wishes could manifest as blue exclamation marks above your head.

Just rely on their strength and shout "666."

"Vision Hunt Decree..."

Kamisato Ayaka's eyes narrowed. For the first time, she looked at Qin Yu with a serious gaze.

She hadn't expected this seemingly indifferent and amiable youth to have already perceived the undercurrents within Inazuma.

Such a man of insight was merely a minor samurai in the Tenryou Commission...

After a long pause, Kamisato Ayaka broke into a smile, her beauty breathtaking.

[Ding, emotional points +1]

"You are injured, you protected me."

Kamisato Ayaka tacitly changed the subject, handing Qin Yu a prepared bandage and medical supplies.

"Here, please bandage it first."

Qin Yu hesitated. The gazes from around him were now filled with murderous intent.

If he accepted this, could he still maintain his standing within the Commission?

*Young Miss, you are going to ruin me!*

Kamisato Ayaka's delicate eyebrows furrowed. "Bandage it quickly; it would be bad if the wound festered."

*There's still blood on his hand... Huh?*

Kamisato Ayaka suddenly let out a soft exclamation, her gaze fixed on Qin Yu's hand.

Qin Yu's expression shifted slightly.

"You..."

Kamisato Ayaka tried to get a clearer look, only to find that Qin Yu had already discreetly placed his hand behind his back.

Kamisato Ayaka's eyes narrowed.

She seemed to have seen a unique mark on that hand.

A mark left from sword practice.

Very similar to those of the Kamisato family.

*This youth... has he practiced the Kamisato style of swordsmanship?*

Qin Yu feigned calmness. "Thank you for your concern, Young Miss. I will bandage it now."

"You've practiced swordsmanship?"

"Young Miss, I come from a family of samurai. Swordsmanship is a required subject."

Clearly, Qin Yu's vague answer did not satisfy Kamisato Ayaka.

The beautiful maiden stared intently at Qin Yu, exuding an immense pressure.

[Ding, emotional points +1]

The once pleasant notification sound made Qin Yu break out in a cold sweat. He inwardly thought, *This is not good.*

*Could it be that she's figured out I know the Kamisato style of swordsmanship?*

Just then, Kamisato Ayaka suddenly smiled.

"Regarding swordsmanship, I too have some small insights."

"It's just that the path of the sword is truly profound. Even with all my efforts, I can only grasp a fraction of the Shogun's supreme martial arts."

Listening to what sounded like a maiden's lament, Qin Yu remained silent.

At the same time, he quickly bandaged his injured hand.

Kamisato Ayaka's gaze flickered. "If, several years ago, I hadn't met Master who guided my practice, perhaps..."

"It's a shame he never revealed his true appearance; it's truly vexing."

"Master... if only he could stay by Ayaka's side forever, guiding my swordsmanship."

Qin Yu's bandaging motion paused.

The veiled probing in her words was too obvious.

Qin Yu smiled candidly. "I'm sure your Master is very formidable, Young Miss. If given the chance, I would love to learn from him."

At the same time, he thought to himself:

*If I could fight myself.*

That's right...

The mysterious Master mentioned by Kamisato Ayaka was none other than Qin Yu.

He recalled the past.

Upon arriving in this world, he had obtained a mysterious system.

As long as he interacted with characters from his previous life's game, he could gain emotional points.

And use them to unlock talent skills. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět

By chance, Qin Yu met Kamisato Ayaka, who had not yet become the White Heron Princess.

Naturally, he concealed his identity.

At that time, the maiden was still under her brother's meticulous protection.

Inazuma's number one sis-con was not just a title.

If he were to find out that some rascal dared to approach his precious sister...

He might just come charging with his blade.

In any case, he had accumulated quite a few points during that period.

He soon unlocked Kamisato Ayaka's max-level basic attack talent.

[Kamisato Art: Spring Rain]

Naturally, he imparted the Kamisato style of swordsmanship to the maiden, who had been clinging to him, her eyes shining with admiration.

As for the teaching process...

Some hands-on contact was unavoidable.

At that time, Qin Yu harbored no strange thoughts towards the pure and flawless maiden, who was like an elf.

Only...

At some point, the maiden's attitude towards her Master seemed to have shifted slightly.

This strange feeling had always prevented Qin Yu from revealing his identity.

The subsequent events involved the maiden awakening her Vision after rigorous training and defeating her brother.

Becoming the White Heron Princess.

Everything had gone smoothly.

Just as he thought he could unlock Kamisato Art: Frostfall and soar to new heights.

Cruel reality delivered him a lesson.

This damned system had locked the gacha for five-star characters.

The system explained that Kamisato Art: Spring Rain was merely a beginner's gift from the system.

As for unlocking the talents of five-star characters, it would require a version update.

Qin Yu: 乆!!!

Even now, the only skill he could effectively use was the Heart Cleaving Fist.

His thoughts in disarray, Qin Yu quickly returned to reality.

*Damn, Kamisato Ayaka is already suspicious of me!*
