Zhongli: Watch Me Find Bai Ye Another Anemo Archon Bodyguard in Inazuma

After passing through the Guili construction site, Hu Tao drove Bai Ye and the Ayaka to the undeveloped Guili initial area.

Keqing has only developed a small area; there are still many undeveloped areas.

"This area was a prosperous land inhabited by humans thousands of years ago. However, with the Archon War, many Gods perished here, making this area unsuitable for human habitation. Occasionally, we can still see glimpses of its former prosperity."

As they walked, Keqing Ayaka Hua.

"Mmm." To avoid ending up like Ayaka, Sayu simply rolled down the car window and leaned her head out. Fortunately, there were no traffic rules in Liyue that prohibited sticking one's head out of a car window.

She looked closely at the various desolate landscapes and couldn't help but marvel at the profound history and culture of Liyue.

After watching for a Bai Ye, she looked at them with some curiosity and asked, "Um, I have a question."

"What's the problem?"

Why haven't we seen any Treasure Hoarders or other criminal groups on this Guili Pass?

Ayaka realized they weren't traveling on a highway, but on a desolate wasteland. Logically, shouldn't there be many criminal gangs here? Even if there weren't any Ruin Grunt, there should be quite a few Treasure Hoarders, right?

Why didn't I see it? Is it because the security in Liyue is already that good?

Hearing Ayaka's words, Keqing Hu Tao Bai Ye were taken aback at first. Then, Hu Tao and Keqing couldn't help but laugh. While driving, Hu Tao pointed at Bai Ye and said, "You should ask this guy about this. In Liyue now, let alone the Treasure Hoarders, no one dares to mess with you, not even a masked person."

Bai Ye spoke Keqing the interface of the Night Gate, she said, "Wasn't I a little poor when I first came to Liyue? It just so happened that those Treasure Hoarders all had quite a few bounties, and they were carrying money at the time. In that case, of course I was going to cause them trouble."

"So you managed to take all those Treasure Hoarders with you all by yourself?" Ayaka asked, puzzled.

"Of course, it wasn't just him alone." Hu Tao couldn't help but laugh when she recalled that period. "Because they were worried that Bai Ye would wipe out all the Treasure Hoarders by himself, all the other Bounty Hunter in Liyue began a massive manhunt for the Treasure Hoarders. As a result, there were almost no Treasure Hoarders left in the entire Liyue. The other Treasure Hoarders abroad, seeing the Liyue Treasure Hoarders being captured like this, naturally didn't dare to come over."

"That's really interesting."

Ayaka couldn't help but smile and nod.

However, considering Inazuma's situation, that smile disappeared quite a bit.

At this Inazuma, although the samurai under the Tenryou Commission were constantly arresting criminals and ronin, the number of Ruin Grunt and other such creatures was actually increasing.

The implementation of the Vision Hunt Decree rendered many civilians powerless to combat crime, and at the same time, it turned many ordinary Inazuma residents who were unwilling to accept the Vision Hunt Decree into potential criminals.

If the Tenryou Commission had the power to solve these problems, that would be fine, but the problem is that the current Tenryou Commission simply doesn't have the ability to do so.

We must find a way to abolish the Sakoku Decree and the Vision Hunt Decree, and restore the wishes of the people.

Ayaka thought to herself.

Keqing noticed that she was deep in thought and immediately asked her, "What's wrong? You seem to be deep in thought."

"It's nothing," Ayaka shook her head.

At that moment, Hu Tao slammed on the brakes. Turning around, she said to the group, "Perfect timing, we ran into two acquaintances up ahead."

"Acquaintance?"

Keqing also looked over.

A tall, slender young woman dressed in simple, traditional clothing.

"Oh, it's Zhongli, the Guest Official of your Wangsheng Funeral Parlor."

Keqing, who was in charge of the Rite of Descension the Rex Lapis last time, naturally knew Zhongli.

"Not only him, but also the Demon-Queller."

"The Demon-Queller..." Keqing was about to ask where the Demon-Queller was, but then she realized that she shouldn't ask him where he was.

"The Demon-Queller Adepti? Is he a celestial being from Liyue?" Ayaka asked curiously.

Before coming here, she had also learned about the Adepti of Liyue. She knew that these Adepti were at least like the Guuji Divine Child of a shrine. There was currently only one such being in Inazuma, while there were several in Liyue.

"Yes, that's right." Bai Ye nodded.

As he said this, he opened the car door.

Hu Tao opened the car door and got out almost at the same time as him.

"Let's get out too," Keqing said to Ayaka. Then, she glanced at Sayu, "Let your little ninja rest in the car for a while longer."

"Um."

Ayaka carried Sayu to the seat.

"Sayu needs to sleep more and grow taller..." Sayu rolled over in her seat and muttered to herself.

Keqing Ayaka couldn't help but smile.

Then he went up and met up with Hu Tao Bai Ye.

At this moment, Hu Tao first looked at Xiao, then at Zhongli, and said with a smile:

"Oh, Zhongli, so you're working with the Demon-Queller? Well, work well with the Demon-Queller and don't disgrace the name of our Wangsheng Funeral Parlor."

Hu Tao's expression was mischievous.

At this moment, she still believed that Zhongli was Liyue Adepti of equal status to Xiao, and it was perfectly normal for him to be with Xiao. However, since you don't acknowledge that you are Adepti, then I'll say that you're here to serve the Demon-Queller.

Hehe, let's see how Xiao makes fun of you then.

However, as soon as Hu Tao opened her mouth, Xiao's expression changed. She glanced at Zhongli, opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

Zhongli nodded earnestly and said to Hu Tao, "Yes, I will follow the Demon-Queller diligently."

"Hahahaha, I can't take it, I'm dying of laughter." At this moment, in Bai Ye's mind, Hagintos was laughing incessantly, "Poor Yaksha..."

Although Bai Ye's face remained expressionless, he was secretly smiling inside.

However, wanting to help Feng Nan, Bai Ye stepped forward and said to Zhongli and Xiao, "Xiao, Mr. Zhongli Li, we've come to find the Gods's Ruins. What are you doing here? Are you also looking for the Gods's Ruins?"

Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Bai Ye had come to his rescue. He then quickly went to Bai Ye's side and said to everyone, "Yes, there's a demon that's appeared not far from the Wangshu Inn. They seem to be affected by the Archon Residue, so I'm going to deal with it."

"Perfect, we have the same goal. So let's travel together." Keqing invited the two of them.

"That's fine too."

Zhongli nodded.

Hagintos continued to shout in Bai Ye's mind, "Quickly, Bai Ye, speak up and say that what you said will have no effect. We have to listen to Xiao Shangxian about this matter."

"Master, don't trick me!"

"Bai Ye I cried out in my heart."

"Tch, what a coward. Let me tell you, if it were me, I would have screamed."

It seemed that Bai Ye saw her teacher waving his hand dismissively.

Ayaka stood beside Bai Ye, Zhongli noticed her. He asked Hu Tao, "Tang, it seems you've met some new friends."

"Yes, I am Kamisato Ayaka from the Inazuma family. I am here in Liyue Harbor as a merchant." Ayaka nodded.

"Inazuma ..." Zhongli's expression turned to one of reminiscence.

Hu Tao asked curiously, "Zhongli, have you ever slept with Inazuma?"

Ayaka looked at Zhongli curiously.

Zhongli admitted, "It is true that it happened, but it was a long time ago. I even met a few interesting little guys over there."

Long time ago, long time ago, the Inazuma n't the current Beelzebul. And all the retinues who followed her back then are still here. He even had a pleasant journey in Inazuma.

Upon hearing from Zhongli that he had acquaintances in Inazuma, Ayaka said to him, "Interesting little fellow? If I return to Inazuma, I can help you deliver the letters."

"Deliver a letter? It's been too long; you probably can't find it anymore."

Zhongli shook her head slightly.

Over the millennia, he lost many close friends. The same was true in Beelzebul, Inazuma.

You can see Guizhong again, but you can't find him in Beelzebul.

Especially her dead twin sister, Makoto.

"Alright, alright, stop thinking about all that nonsense." Hu Tao quickly interrupted Zhongli's thoughts.

Over the course of thousands of years, we may lose countless friends, but we must always look to the future. If we simply dwell on the past, how can we pursue the future?

"Let's go find those Archon Residue. After all, it was Ayaka who wanted to see how Bai Ye would deal with the Archon Residue."

"You want to see how to deal with the Archon Residue?" Zhongli looked at Ayaka. "It seems there are still quite a few disputes on Inazuma's side."

Inazuma Kamisato Clan had Zhongli about this while casually strolling and drinking tea. Ayaka's arrival in Liyue confirms the Yashiro Commission stance of the three Inazuma. Furthermore, her current presence as a civilian investigating Bai Ye's situation demonstrates that the uncertainty surrounding Beelzebul is hindered by other deities.

Hearing Zhongli say this, Ayaka's surprise was evident.

Who is this person? How could they guess the whole situation so accurately after just one sentence?

Seeing Ayaka's astonishment, Zhongli didn't say anything more. He had seen the mechanism at Ayaka's waist, Zhongli believed that with that mechanism, Ayaka would take everything back to Inazuma. With such concrete evidence, even the most stubborn Beelzebul had to believe it.

As for whether Beelzebul would invite Bai Ye to Inazuma, he had no doubt about that.

Beelzebul is merely pursuing eternity; it doesn't mean she completely disregards the lives of the people. Eliminating the effects of the Archon War is something all Gods would do.

When Beelzebul invites Bai Ye, the conditions should be set by Bai Ye himself.

Beelzebul possesses many valuable items; if Bai Ye were to seek her out, he could likely acquire a considerable amount. In particular, her puppet-making technique would undoubtedly be beneficial for the future restoration of Guizhong's body.

Zhongli knew that Bai Ye had come with Albedo to learn alchemy, but he also knew a thing or two about Khaenri'ah's alchemy. He knew that Khaenri'ah's simple 'Art of Black Soil' could not successfully create a Gods's body.

There must be other technologies.

For example, Beelzebul's puppet-making techniques.

The Doctor. Snezhnaya's technology, etc.

Thinking of the Doctor's technology, Zhongli thought that after he returned, he would give the token he used to ask the Doctor for the technology to Bai Ye, so that Bai Ye could learn the Fatui's technology.

"Next, once this girl from the Kamisato Clan returns to Inazuma, the Inazuma of Bai Ye will begin. For safety's sake, we should find a way to inform Beelzebul about the importance of Bai Ye."

Zhongli thought.

Whether for personal reasons or for the sake of Teyvat as a whole, Bai Ye absolutely cannot be harmed in the slightest.

Even though Bai Ye now possesses the Gods Mechanism and the Gods Osial is in the jade pendant, even if Beelzebul makes a move Bai Ye still has a very high chance of survival.

But what if we encounter danger in Inazuma?

Zhongli was worried that Beelzebul wasn't paying enough attention.

He planned to wait until the girl from the Kamisato Clan returned to Inazuma before he himself came to talk to Beelzebul Inazuma the importance of the Bai Ye.

Just as Zhongli was about to make up his mind, he looked into the distance.

Over there, the green-clad bard is beckoning us over here.

"It seems that Inazuma doesn't need to be thawed."

The messenger who delivered the letter, Zhongli, was the one who had been looking for him.

If he stayed by Bai Ye's side, he might not be able to effectively train him, and the strong-willed Beelzebul probably wouldn't be too happy if he stayed alone. But if he didn't stay by Inazuma's side, he would worry about Bai Ye's safety.

Those who have gained experience in ordinary times and can provide protection in dangerous situations.

He has a good personality.

Barbatos would be a perfect fit.

Just then, Venti poured the wine in her arms into her mouth. As if sensing Zhongli's gaze on her, she instinctively tried to cover herself with the wine bottle.

"Damn, he really lives up to his reputation as an old man. I tried my best to use Anemo Element to conceal my figure, but he still found me easily."

Venti muttered to herself.

Some time ago, Albedo and Klee ended their journey in Liyue and returned to Mondstadt.

Albedo would keep his ability to resolve the Abyss Bai Ye secret from others, but not from Venti. So, he secretly sought out Venti and showed him his situation.

This surprised Venti.

He originally thought that Bai Ye could help Albedo resolve his emotions, but in the end, Bai Ye was completely eradicated.

"Interesting..."

He stroked his chin and muttered to himself.

The power to resolve the Abyss is an ability that Teyvat didn't have before.

So, with nothing to do, Venti went to Liyue again to observe the Bai Ye more.

If Bai Ye had this ability, it could reduce many tragedies in Teyvat.

"Although a tragic ending can move more people, sometimes it's also good for a heroic drama to have a comedic ending."

Venti thought to herself.

Then,

Venti discovers that as soon as he arrives in Liyue, he's about to be forced into marriage by the old man.
