Genshin Impact: Kurumi is shocked, the God of Light is right beside her.

Chapter 279: Investigation Concludes, Climax Day Approaches

"Because the Kabuki once said he would exterminate the Five Transmissions of Lightning, my great-grandfather was worried that the man would come back for revenge. In order to protect his family, he had no choice but to give up the family business that he had built up over hundreds of years of sword forging."

He said, "[As the head of the Fengyuan clan, I am deeply ashamed of my family's decline; but as a father, I only wish for the safety and well-being of my descendants.]"

After speaking, a complex expression appeared in Wan Ye's eyes.

"So it turns out that everything Wanye's great-grandfather did back then... was just to protect his family..."

Seeing that the benefactor who had helped him overcome the difficulties of practicing calligraphy just yesterday was now depressed because of family matters, Xingqiu instantly felt the same way.

"Yes, if Grandpa had discovered this secret sooner... perhaps the father and son could have reconciled..."

After saying that, Wan Ye lowered his head in disappointment.

"Mr. Manyo, the head of the Kamisato family did not mention this matter to us, his descendants, back then. Perhaps it was to protect his descendants. Now that we have obtained the truth, we hope it can comfort their spirits in heaven."

As she spoke, Ayaka Kamisato earnestly shook her folding fan.

"At the same time, I think the two elders must have had deeper concerns back then. Since the enemy was able to tamper with Lord Thor's blueprints and was also exceptionally skilled, they must have an unusual identity. Recently, I will ask my brother to help me investigate information about the [Collapse of the Nation], hoping to give everyone present an explanation."

"Tape? What tape?"

Barbatos absentmindedly drank his wine while curiously glancing at Ayaka Kamisato.

"Wendy, it's not tape, it's an explanation."

Abedo kindly offered this reminder.

"Aren't they all the same... Do you really think I can read the subtitles?"

Barbatos muttered something under his breath, clearly dissatisfied.

However, no one heard what he said clearly, so no one paid any attention to it.

"My great-grandfather's educational philosophy in the family was to value harmony. After reading his letter, I am deeply moved. I think he didn't want us, his descendants, to relive old grudges and be blinded by the past again. The most important thing for everyone is not the past, but the present; although we carry the burden of yesterday, we also have things we want to pursue."

"So, for me, it is enough to know the truth of the past. I will live well as my great-grandfather would have hoped. Of course, if the enemies from back then are still alive and want to use their schemes to harm innocent people again, I will never stand idly by."

"Alright, alright, everyone, stop looking so gloomy! Relax. Now that the truth is out, let's go back. Tomorrow is the grand finale of the Rongcai Festival, see you all there!"

After saying that, Barbatos chuckled and then skipped away into the distance.

Watching Barbatos leave, the others nodded in agreement and walked in different directions, slowly disappearing onto the coast.

The next day.

Outlying island, Wugexian Square.

"Today is the last day of the Rongcai Festival. Not only will there be a new book launch event hosted by Yaedo, but Abedo's portrait of Kurosu will also be unveiled to the public."

As she chatted with Hotaru, Ayaka Kamisato walked forward with a smile.

As they walked, they saw Ayato Kamisato standing under a maple tree, waving to them.

"Brother!"

"Linghua, how have you been these past few days? Thank you for accompanying my sister on this trip; otherwise, I would have been really worried that she would develop some kind of mental illness from being cooped up."
