The Geo Archon Figurine Goes to Whoever Has the "Original"

"Indeed, if possible... Oops!" Lulu, the little girl who was about to respond to the little boy, accidentally bumped into something because she wasn't looking where she was going, or rather, because none of the three of them were looking where they were going.

Children don't have much strength, but Chen Luo's figurines and dolls were quite heavy, so when he didn't hold them tightly, they fell to the ground with a thud.

"Oh, I'm sorry." The little girl, who had just sat down on the ground, didn't immediately pay attention to the statue. Instead, she politely bowed to the person she had bumped into.

"Oh, it's alright, I wasn't paying attention just now either," a gentle older sister's voice said.

"Lulu, are you alright?"

"Huh? You recognize her... Ah, it's Ningguang sister." Lulu looked up and saw who she had bumped into.

"It's been a long time, Lulu." Ningguang, one of the Tianquan Star Liyue Qixing, said to Lulu with a smile.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Ningguang sister." Lulu greeted Ningguang happily.

"Want some candy? That should be enough as an apology." Ningguang pulled out a piece of candy from somewhere and handed it to Lulu.

"Thank you, Sister Ningguang." Lulu happily accepted the candy.

"Ningguang knows everything." This is a common warning given to outsiders by the people of Liyue.

Ningguang's intelligence network is so vast and sophisticated that it is evident to all of Liyue.

Tianquan is aware of every piece of information, both overt and covert, throughout Liyue.

There are even rumors that Ningguang has cast a spell on the Jade Chamber Pavilion, the aerial palace, which allows her to capture and repeat the whispers of everyone in Liyue Harbor so that Ningguang can listen to them one by one.

But Ningguang's true eyes and ears were the children playing in the streets and alleys of Liyue Harbor.

Because no one will be overly wary of children.

Moreover, the children have a lot of free time.

These children are always tempted by the snacks in Ningguang's hands, and they will talk about everything they know without reservation.

The trio of children who often played at the port naturally knew Ningguang.

"Ah, my statue." Lulu was quite happy after receiving the candy, suddenly remembered something and quickly picked up her statue that she had just dropped.

"Oh no..." Lulu looked at the Rex Lapis statue in her hand with a dejected expression.

There's no doubt that Chen Luo's dolls are of high quality, but Chen Luo couldn't possibly use any precious materials to carve these dolls, which are essentially given away for free. Chen Luo only used ordinary wood or clay; otherwise, Chen Luo would have lost a fortune long ago.

Normally, a fall wouldn't cause any problems, but Lulu chose a statue made of relatively heavy wood.

Most importantly, Lulu was unlucky; there happened to be a small pebble where the statue fell, which "assassinated" the statue.

Just like a mobile phone, even if it's a high-quality phone with a tempered glass screen protector and a phone case, if it falls to the ground and hits a small stone on the side, the screen will still be damaged.

Lulu looked at the broken Rex Lapis statue with a pang of heartache.

"Hmm, Lulu, can I take a look? Let me see if I can fix it." Ningguang reached out her hand to Lulu when she saw the somewhat damaged statue.

"Okay." Lulu nodded and handed over the statue.

After Ningguang took the statue in her hands, she felt its weight. However, after examining Ningguang closely, she realized that she was completely unable to repair it.

Although this statue of the King of Hell is indeed a movable statue, the broken part is not at the joint, so it is simply broken.

"Hmm?" Just as Ningguang was about to return the statue to Lulu, Ningguang frowned.

Ningguang looked at the strange patterns on the base of the statue and sensed a different kind of aura.

"This is..."

Celestial magic?

"Lulu, where did you get this?" Ningguang asked Lulu, stroking the unfamiliar array patterns.

Ningguang didn't recognize these runes, so she didn't know what their effects were. They seemed to be runes with a positive effect, but she wasn't entirely sure.

"This was bought for us by the older brother over there. It cost three...5000 Mora." Lulu originally wanted to say 300, but after remembering Chen Luo's words, she immediately changed her mind.

Ningguang the astute person she was, naturally overheard Lulu's change of heart.

This piqued Ningguang's curiosity. Generally, the children she knew rarely hid things from her, since her intelligence network originated from them.

Therefore, Ningguang still took Lulu's concealment to some extent.

"Do you know that older brother?" Ningguang asked.

"I don't know him. This older brother doesn't seem to be a local. I've never seen him in Liyue Harbor before." Lulu shook her head.

"Oh, is that so? Can you take me there? Since I'm the one who broke it, I should buy you a replacement," Ningguang said with a smile.

Accompanying the other person with a puppet is secondary; Ningguang really wants to meet the person who inscribed the Adeptus Formations patterns on the puppet.

In another hour or so, it will be the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony. This year, it will be presided over by the Tianquan Star, Ningguang, so it cannot be neglected.

Moreover, such suspicious individuals do indeed need to be thoroughly investigated, especially in a place so close to the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony.

Not a native of Liyue, yet they showed up on the day of the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony...

Although there were many other merchants who took advantage of this opportunity to make a quick buck, the other party's Adeptus Formations undoubtedly made them more eye-catching.

"This... is fine."

Brother Chen Luo only said not to tell anyone about buying a statue for 300 Mora, and bringing Sister Ningguang along should also be considered as supporting Brother Chen Luo's business, right?

Thinking this, Lulu nodded.

Chapter 317 Rex Lapis Figurine, those with the original [authority] shall own it.

"You've damaged something, you have to pay for it." A cold voice rang out.

"My brother is the leader of the Adventurers' Guild's Afternoon Study Adventure Team!"

"If you step on something and break it, you have to pay for it."

"I already told you, my brother is the leader of the Adventurers' Guild's Afternoon Study Adventure Team!"

Ningguang, guided by Lulu, headed to Chen Luo's stall, but before she even got there, she saw a white-haired woman arguing with a young man.

"I'm warning you, I..." the young man said impatiently to Shenhe.

"Thump!" Shenhe glanced at Chen Luo beside him, and with Chen Luo's encouragement, he gently stepped on the stone brick.

The fashion seemed to have been subjected to some tremendous force, instantly cracking. At the center where Shenhe's toe lightly touched, the stone slab was directly crushed into dust.

"If you break something, you have to pay for it," Shenhe said coldly once again.

This time, Shenhe's body began to emit a trace of Cryo, which made the young man shiver.

"I'm sorry." The young man admitted his mistake incredibly quickly.

You are the holder of the Vision, you should have said so earlier, I would have admitted my mistake sooner.

Everyone has a different way of binding the Vision. Some people wear it around their neck, like Chen Luo. Some people hang it on their waist. Some people hang it on their ears. Shenhe, on the other hand, binds it to his hair at the back of his head.

People who look directly at Shenhe cannot see Shenhe's Vision.

"Pay up," Shenhe said, pointing to the doll on the stall whose corner had been stepped on.

"I'll pay you back!" The young man immediately became friendly and spoke up.

In the Teyvat Continent, the status of ordinary people and those with the Vision is slightly different.

In the Teyvat Continent, the Vision essentially a certificate of genius; even if someone is bad at something, they can't be that bad.

Therefore, the Vision is something that can quickly calm down other people who are full of anger.

Although this young man's older brother is the leader of a fairly powerful adventurer group in the Liyue Adventurers Guild.

But if his brother finds out that she has gotten into trouble with a Vision holder by refusing to pay for the things she broke, his brother will skin him alive.

"How much? It's 5000 Mora, right?" The young man had just heard the Herrscher of Knowledge's shout.

"Oh dear, my family's heirloom, blessed by immortals and crafted using the mechanical Puppet Technique personally passed down by the True Geo Archon Cloud Retainer, has been ruined by stepping on it! This is a puppet imbued with the power of immortals; it's a top-tier item for warding off evil spirits and protecting the home!" Before Shenhe could even nod, the Herrscher of Knowledge, who was in charge of shouting, suddenly cried out in pain as he looked at the statue that the young man had trampled on.

He was so angry and frustrated that he was practically beating his feet and pounding his chest.

"Hey, you guys..."

The young man immediately realized that this person was trying to extort money from him.

It's like everyone knows that you can't find genuine antiques at stalls on antique streets, but if you break it, the seller can easily pass it off as something from last week as something from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

"Oh dear, the Vision is getting a bit hot." Seeing the young man's exasperation, Chen Luo took out the Vision was hanging around his neck and hidden in his clothes.

Chen Luo usually wears the Vision around his neck, but he usually hides it inside his clothes.

"... You're right. I'll pay 10 times the price, 50,000 Mora!" Seeing that he had offended two holders of the Vision, the young man's anger instantly subsided.

Ah, I guess I'm just unlucky.

"I'm leaving." With four pairs of eyes watching, the young man threw Mora onto the stall and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute," Chen Luo suddenly called out to the young man.

"What are you doing now? I've already given you ten times the amount, isn't that enough?"

"Take that statue with you. It's a little damaged, but it can still be effective," Chen Luo said lazily.

"Never mind, it's yours." Feeling a bit unlucky, the young man quickened his pace and left.

"Wow, we've already earned a tenth of the money. It seems like earning a million Mora in one morning might not be a problem at all," the Herrscher of Knowledge remarked from the side.

If it weren't for the fact that someone seemed to be coming this way, the Herrscher of Knowledge could have swindled the other party out of 100,000 Mora.

Those Herrscher of Knowledge can see through the good and evil in Herrscher of the Heart. Being able to Mind Reading is that awesome, so it's true that they can be quite ruthless when it comes to killing certain people.

The other party has been acting arrogantly and domineeringly; it's time they paid some price for all this time.

"Shenhe, you did very well this time. Actually, you need to understand that sometimes, to make someone submit to your force, you don't necessarily have to take action immediately. You just need to let them see the difference between us."

"If it were in the wild, then it would be fine to fight, but within Liyue Harbor, there should at least be some rules to follow. After all, the Millelith isn't just sitting around doing nothing."

"With your strength, you're unlikely to encounter anyone who can put you at a disadvantage, but if you beat someone too badly, you'll have to bear some punishment out of humanitarian considerations."

"So sometimes all you need to do is get the other party to back down."

"Of course, if the other party refuses to back down no matter what, and it's their fault, then go ahead and hit them. I'll handle anything that happens," Chen Luo assured him.

Not to brag about Chen Luo, but there are no more than 20 people in the entire Liyue who can resist Chen Luo 'Herrscher of Knowledge abilities without being affected at all.

"We can't completely ignore what he said." After listening to Chen Luo's words, Ningguang, who had been watching for a while, slowly walked over.

"Besides, you'll be fined for damaging public property here," Ningguang said, glancing at the stone slab that Shenhe had stepped on and shattered.

"Oh, isn't this Lady Ningguang of Tianquan Star? It's an honor to meet you. As for what you said about damaging public property... is it possible that what you just saw was just some kind of illusion?" Chen Luo turned his gaze to Ningguang.

Tianquan Star Ningguang; she has fair skin, a beautiful face, long legs, and is also wealthy.

"Snap!" Chen Luo snapped his fingers lightly.

Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Ningguang looked at the stone slab that Shenhe had just crushed, only to find that the stone slab, which was originally severely broken, was completely intact.

Ningguang then looked at the secretary beside her.

Ningguang frowned after the secretary shook her head.

What an amazing illusion!

"Phew..." Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Ningguang hadn't noticed anything unusual.

Is it possible that Shenhe actually broke the floorboards just now, and Ningguang is seeing now is just an illusion?

"Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, Miss Ningguang, you've come here to buy a statue, right?" Chen Luo said, glancing at the Geo Archon doll that Lulu was holding, which had a missing corner.

How did you figure that out?

"I have some knowledge of divination; please call me Shermollow."

The truth is, the Fate Threads ability is really useful.

Also, Lulu's skills are really weak.

"Okay, it's mainly because I saw the bad doll Lulu was holding." Chen Luo explained, seeing Ningguang's puzzled look.

It's obvious that Ningguang has no idea what Sherlock Holmes is.

Or rather, if the other party knew, Chen Luo would not be able to remain calm.

"Hmm, so 5,000 Mora for one doll, and you can pick whichever you like?" Ningguang squatted down and examined the Geo Archon doll on the stall.
