"Mr. Uchiha, if you don't have a self-consistent answer to explain your origins, I'm afraid you'll have to suffer a bit, won't you?"
Yelan still had her usual fake smile, which greatly annoyed Yuto. Although in the game, she was one of his favorite 'big sister' characters, that was because he was on the same side as her. If he unfortunately became her enemy, Yelan would definitely be the enemy's lingering nightmare.
"Madam Yelan, I have a question for you?" Yuto put away his previously subservient demeanor and asked seriously.
"Oh? I'm the one asking you right now. Haven't you understood your current situation?"
"It's said that Liyue is the nation that values contracts and laws the most. Since you personally intervened, you must have investigated my situation beforehand. So I want to ask you, during my time in Liyue, have I violated any of Liyue's laws?"
"...According to my investigation, although you've done many unusual things during your time in Liyue, if we're talking about violating Liyue's laws, there really isn't anything."
"According to the spirit of the laws formulated by Lord Rex Lapis and Tianquan Ningguang, the most important rule is 'What is not forbidden by law is permissible.' Since my actions haven't violated Liyue's laws, your current interrogation of me is not within the legal scope."
"But it's an undeniable fact that your origins are a mystery."
"I've already told you I'm from Inazuma. What else do you want to know? Yes, I did not obtain entry permission before coming to Liyue. You can forcibly repatriate me. But now Inazuma has implemented the Sakoku Decree. Can you send me back to Inazuma?"
"I suspect your true objective in coming to Liyue is not simple, and it might pose a certain danger to Liyue's security."
"Hmph! What a joke. Not to mention that suspicion cannot be used as evidence, furthermore, the Qixing all know that the Northland Bank of Snezhnaya and the Fatui came to Liyue with ill intentions, but what can you do about it? You can only watch helplessly. Your current actions can only be considered bullying the weak and fearing the strong."
Yuto's words hit Yelan's sore spot, making her even lose the fake smile on her face. As Liyue's intelligence officer, she naturally knew about the series of tricks Snezhnaya was playing in Liyue, but until they caused substantial damage to Liyue, she dared not act against them.
For example, Northland Bank, through commercial lending, became a shareholder in a large number of small and medium-sized businesses in Liyue, then used these businesses to massively acquire Liyue's resources, intending to manipulate prices and then harvest the 'leeks.'
Liyue's high-ranking officials were well aware of this, but they could not use violent means to restrict it, because their actions were also economic means within the rules. If they wanted to impose sanctions, they could only use economic means.
What Yelan and other intelligence personnel could do was just keep a close eye on them, and act immediately if there was any sign of trouble. If they could catch them red-handed with conclusive evidence, then Snezhnaya would be at a disadvantage.
Of course, in order to catch the final big fish, they sometimes condoned the illegal activities of some small fries. It was precisely for these reasons that the Fatui's reputation in Liyue was not very good.
While Yelan was still thinking about how to respond to Yuto's answer, Yuto, who was tightly entangled by the Lifeline, suddenly emitted a puff of white smoke and directly turned into a stone.
Yelan was immediately startled by this situation. Just as she was about to react, she suddenly felt a huge force from behind her, pressing her to the ground.
Yuto took the opportunity to straddle Yelan's back, using his body weight to press Yelan's upper body firmly against the ground. With one hand, he reversed his grip on Yelan's hands, and with the other, he quickly removed the bracelet called 'Yaochi' from her right hand and the Hydro Vision from her leg band, tossing them aside.
"Sure enough, Sister Yelan, your physical fitness is indeed very average. It seems your family's hereditary problem is quite severe. It's been five hundred years, and there can still be such a side effect."
Listening to Yuto easily state her physical weakness, Yelan was deeply shocked. She didn't understand why Yuto could break free from her Lifeline.
Yelan desperately tried to break free, but as Yuto said, her physical fitness had flaws. Although her speed was astonishing, she was slightly lacking in strength. After only one attempt, she simply stopped wasting her energy, preserving her stamina and looking for another opportunity. This was the wise move.
"Uchiha Mikage, you dare to attack Liyue's intelligence officer, this is a serious crime!"
"It's just tit for tat. Is it only permissible for officials to set fires, but not for common people to light lamps? Sister Yelan, I used to respect you greatly, but unfortunately, you seem to have thought I was a soft persimmon that could be easily manipulated. If a tiger doesn't roar, do you think I'm a sick cat?"
Because the situation was extremely critical just now, Yuto didn't pay attention to other things. Now that the situation was stable, Yuto finally realized that his current posture with Yelan was quite suggestive. Her fair and smooth back, it would be a pity not to get a cupping session.
"You are indeed unusual. Who exactly are you?"
"It's boring to talk to you. I've already told you before, for any question I've answered, I've spoken the truth, but you don't believe it. So what's the point of talking to you?"
Yuto unconsciously activated his Sharingan and looked into Yelan's suppressed eyes. When Yelan saw Yuto's crimson eyes, which were different from ordinary people's, she had an ominous premonition. Sure enough, the next moment, Yelan only felt her eyes glaze over, dizzy, and soon she became unresponsive.
Seeing Yelan lose consciousness, Yuto got up from her, picked up the Vision and bracelet he had just tossed aside, and then looked at Yelan, who was lying nearby, caught in a genjutsu. His head couldn't help but ache.
After a moment of consideration, Yuto carried her, his right hand subconsciously giving Yelan's perky buttocks a firm pat. A crisp sound was heard, and Yuto looked at his right hand in surprise, as if still savoring the astonishing elasticity and feel from just now.
Yuto looked back at the Jade Chamber high in the sky, his crimson Sharingan seemingly wanting to completely devour the entire Jade Chamber, then, carrying Yelan, he leisurely returned to his cave dwelling.
Ningguang, who was working in the Jade Chamber, suddenly felt something. She put down her pen, stood up, and slowly walked to the window, looking down at the city she governed. She suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Yelan is really something. It takes this long to invite someone to the Jade Chamber. Did she go gambling again somewhere?
