Ying felt powerless to continue speaking, and now she just hoped that she could use what she had to do next to slap Barbatos in the face.

"There's nothing else here, I'll head back now."

Shadow said something to Venti, and then prepared to return to Inazuma City.

However, on the way back, Ying glanced at another part of the island.

Then he left.

After Ying left, Venti also glanced at the other side with the same look in her eyes.

He left with a grin.

He has a good show about Kujou Takamasa to watch at Inazuma's place.

After Shadow and Venti left, on the other side of the island, the Scaramouche climbed down from the tree with a furrowed brow.

"Even though I've been hiding so well, she can still find me easily. I thought my strength had improved a lot, but compared to her, the gap is too big. Not only her, but that Anemo Archon's strength is also incredibly powerful."

He's not like Rosalyn, who thinks she can actually harm the Seven of the Dust Realm.

However, before the Scaramouche, they still had a feeling that they could hide in front of the shadow.

Looking back now, it was just an illusion.

I am still far inferior to Ying.

This caused the Scaramouche to feel frustrated.

No matter how hard I try, I can't achieve it.

However, when Scaramouche looked at the place where Bai Ye was located, where the resentment of the Gods Orobas had gathered, and thought about the violent tremor that had just occurred, the tremor that came from the soul, Scaramouche felt that Ying was completely incomparable to Baiye.

"Even the Rex Lapis of Liyue Harbor couldn't recreate that situation. Just how many secrets does Bai Ye possess?"

Looking at Bai Ye surrounded by everyone, his spirited expression proved that the entity that emitted that aura earlier was actually trying to benefit Bai Ye.

Watching Bai Ye again, the Scaramouche saw him changing the hilt of a longsword at his waist.

"It shouldn't just be a replacement hilt; the sword itself should be brand new," the Scaramouche thought to himself.

So he quickly recorded all of this from a distance.

He will give these to the Doctor later, hoping that he can find the secrets hidden within them, and even make the Sumeru Project more complete, so that he can obtain more powerful forces.

Having done all that, the Scaramouche looked at Jingjing and bid farewell to Kokomi, preparing to temporarily return to the Shogunate Army's garrison.

All eyes were on him, making Bai Ye the center of attention. The Scaramouche, seeing this, couldn't help but feel a flicker of envy.

She should be jealous, but when Scaramouche looked at Bai Ye, she just couldn't feel jealous.

It seems that he is entitled to be watched and cared for in this way.

"Perhaps it's because of his abilities, bearing the responsibility of dealing with the aftermath of the Archon War that affected the entire Teyvat?" the Scaramouche suddenly thought.

Then his expression became even more astonished.

When will I have this thought of putting others first?

No, I should hurry up and finish dealing with things here before heading to Sumeru to continue my experiment with the [The Doctor].

The Scaramouche hurriedly left, intending to relay everything that had happened here to the Doctor. They hoped the Doctor had made some new discoveries regarding the situation on Bai Ye's side.

After leaving the cave, Bai Ye had to say goodbye to Sangonomiya Kokomi.

Bai Ye said to Kokomi, "We have to return to the Shogunate Army. Next, on Yashiori Island, your battle with the Shogunate Army may continue."

"We never lose when fighting against the Shogunate Army," Gorou said confidently to Bai Ye.

As he said this, he looked at Bai Ye with some anticipation and said, "Bai Ye, you're not one of the Shogunate Army's people, so why don't you come with us to Watatsumi Island?"

Within the jade pendant, Orobas was filled with anticipation. Once Bai Ye arrived at Watatsumi Island, his desire to make Bai Ye the Watatsumi Island's lord would become infinitely easier.

If they were to part ways now, he wondered how difficult it would be to send a message to the people of Watatsumi Island.

"That's not true. I came to Inazuma for my own reasons."

"Yes, yes, Bai Ye still has things to do in Inazuma City. We will definitely visit Watatsumi Island to meet you again when we have the chance before we leave Inazuma."

"That's what Hu Tao said."

"Yes, you guys absolutely have to come!"

Kokomi spoke to Bai Ye Hu Tao.

There are just too many secrets about Bai Ye, Kokomi can't understand them at all, yet she desperately wants to know them.

So after this farewell, Kokomi wanted to meet Bai Ye again.

At the same time, being with Bai Ye made her feel relaxed and refreshed. However, Kokomi was too ashamed to say it aloud.

Little did she know that if she spoke out, not only would it not surprise Hu Tao Shenhe, but she would also receive an approving expression.

We're all the same.

Inside the jade pendant, Orobas also wanted to persuade Bai Ye to go to Watatsumi Island, but he was immediately suppressed by Osial.

"Bai Ye didn't come to Inazuma to solve your problem. If you delay Bai Ye and Leishen's technical training, someone will be happy to entertain you."

Osial said to Orobas.

If you delay Bai Ye's learning of puppet-making techniques, then you're delaying Guizhong's resurrection. If you delay Guizhong's resurrection, then you'd better go and explain it to Morax yourself.

Orobas quickly shook his head.

What a joke! Even at his peak, he was at best someone who could escape Morax's clutches, and that was only if he wasn't too eager to kill. If he were truly enraged and attacked Morax, Orobas wouldn't even dare to dream of it.

"Hmph~"

Seeing Orobas cower like this, Osial nodded in satisfaction.

It is indeed very satisfying to suppress a Gods who was once equal to oneself.

However, after thinking about it again, Osial realized that it was all because of Morax and Bai Ye, and her expression turned sour.

Beyond the Bai Ye bids farewell to Kokomi.

"We've met, and I believe we'll meet again soon. When I come to Watatsumi Island then, please treat us well!"

"Definitely, definitely."

Gorou nodded vigorously from the side.

Kokomi said, "Yes, if you help us deal with the evil spirit on Yashiori Island, our Watatsumi Island army will probably be able to occupy a lot of territory on the island again."

"Then let's hope everything goes well. And let's also hope that the people of Watatsumi Island can live a better life."

"Yes, we will definitely try our best."

Bai Ye and the others left.

Kokomi was watching Bai Ye's figure.

Looking at Gorou 'Kokomi expression, Goro had a feeling.

My dear master, you wouldn't have fallen for Bai Ye after just one meeting, would you?

Really?

My family isn't that kind of shallow person, is it...?

Bai Ye is just a bit better looking than the average person, and he also has the ability to purify the Archon Residue, and his personality is also very likable...

Okay, there's nothing wrong with liking him.

Gorou thought about it and realized that the only flaw in Bai Ye was that he was too young.

"It's alright, the baby can still grow taller. Maybe he'll grow taller by then."

Gorou thought to himself.

In some ways, what he and Kamisato Ayato were worried about was similar. However, Kamisato Ayato, being Ayaka's older brother, considered things more comprehensively. As the commander of Watatsumi Island, and subordinate to Kokomi Gorou, he had to consider whether he was fulfilling his master's wishes.

After parting ways with Kokomi, Bai Ye, Hu Tao, and Shenhe, they returned to the Shogunate Army camp.

At this moment, the power of the evil spirit on the island, along with the resentment of Orobas, was absorbed by Bai Ye, and the places that had been uninhabited for many years due to the evil spirit began to gradually return to normal.

The speed of change is almost visible to the naked eye.

Watching videos at Bai Ye is extremely rewarding.

Previously, when dealing with the Archon Residue, they were all in a sealed state. Eliminating one area didn't have a significant impact on the overall environment.

With the power to exorcise the evil spirit, the entire Yashiori Island was transformed into a habitable place.

This sense of accomplishment is truly exhilarating.

This sense of accomplishment isn't unique to Bai Ye; Hu Tao it too.

The only thing left for Yashiori Island to regain its reputation after being rescued by the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is for Bai Ye to agree to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

Then you should be proud of yourself.

Bai Ye they were thinking this, they soon encountered a troop of the Shogunate Army who came to greet them.

Kujou Sara immediately brought people to greet them.

After Kujou Sara welcomed Bai Ye, news of the Yashiori Island quickly spread from Yashiori Island to Inazuma City.

As the Tenryou Commission magistrate's household, Kujou Takayuki was among the first to know the news.

He was both shocked and furious to hear Bai Ye had resolved the matter on Yashiori Island so smoothly.

He was surprised that Bai Ye had resolved the matter on Yashiori Island so smoothly. Although it seemed like an earthquake had occurred there, which was felt here, the speed at which it was resolved far exceeded his expectations.

What angered him was that his threats to those around Bai Ye had absolutely no effect. He had handed them the note, but the girl simply ignored it and threw it away.

Isn't she worried about her family getting hurt?

Seeing that threatening her was useless, Kujou Takayuki then discovered a bard from Mondstadt who seemed to have a close relationship with Bai Ye.

Maybe they're friends?

Kujou Takayuki had his men investigate for several days and basically confirmed the news.

This bard must be one of Bai Ye's best friends besides the two girls.

They wanted to have someone "invite" the bard over, but discovered he had vanished.

At first, he thought his lewd behavior had been discovered. But after asking around among the other people in the tavern, he learned that the bard was going on a trip for a few days with some acquaintances.

Kujou Takayuki was so angry he was about to explode.

You should know that when Bai Ye was leaving, she used her Gods powers to thoroughly torment Kujou Takayuki with desire.

The more desires are not expressed, the more uncomfortable one feels.

At the same time, people will become increasingly abnormal.

Just as Kujou Takayuki was being tortured to the point of madness, one of his subordinates walked in.

"My lord, we have news about that bard."

"Any news?"

Upon hearing the report from his subordinates, the Kujou Takayuki immediately perked up.

The subordinate reported to Kujou Takayuki, "Yes, it's him. Our informant just reported that the bard appeared at the tavern earlier today. He's probably drinking with someone right now."

"Is that so?" Kujou Takayuki immediately said to his subordinate, "That's perfect. Quickly take some men and bring that bard over here."

"Yes."

The Tenryou Commission's samurai immediately began their operation.

After receiving the confirmation, Kujou Takayuki regained some composure. He adjusted his clothes, trying to revert to his usual serious and upright image Tenryou Commission.

The warriors of the Tenryou Commission acted swiftly.

Quickly, the drunken bard, reeking of alcohol, was brought over.

"You may all dismount."

Some things are not suitable for others to hear, so Kujou Takayuki asked the others to leave.

The warriors Tenryou Commission have departed.

Only he and Venti remained in the room.

Kujou Takayuki was not worried about this.

Although he was old, his martial arts skills were still lacking. If he couldn't beat a drunkard, he wouldn't be able to.

Those Kujou Takayuki felt they would rather die.

"This, sir, what brings you here to see me?"

Venti mumbled between hiccups.

"Are you the friend of the messenger from Liyue Harbor Bai Ye?" Kujou Takayuki asked Venti.

He frowned slightly.

This drunkard is clearly the type who values nothing more than alcohol. He'd probably betray even his friends for it.

Even Kujou Takayuki looked down on him because he was addicted to alcohol.

"Yes, yes."

Venti nodded.

Patting his chest, he said to Kujou Takayuki, "My lord, let me tell you, my relationship with Bai Ye is extremely good. Not only him, but even his elder and I are very close. I know everything about him."

"Yeah?"

Kujou Takayuki squinted at Venti: "Can you tell me something about Bai Ye's dirty secrets? What's wrong with him?"

"Problem? Why should I tell you?"

When Venti heard Kujou Takayuki ask that question, she immediately asked him in return.

After he finished speaking, Kujou Takayuki immediately pulled out a bag of Mora and a knife from his pocket.

The meaning is obvious; it depends on which one Venti chooses.

Venti immediately took Mora.

"A problem? Is being popular with girls a problem?"

He thought for a moment, his eyes glazed over with drunkenness, and then spoke to Kujou Takayuki.

"You mean his private life is messy?" Kujou Takayuki seemed to have seized on the question and answered Venti.

"No, it's just that other people like him. How could someone his age have such a chaotic private life?"

Venti immediately shook her head.

That's no different from saying nothing at all...

Kujou Takayuki's expression turned cold.

"Are there any other dirt on him?"

"Yes, he earned a lot of Mora as Bounty Hunter, but he never treated me to a drink in Liyue Harbor."

Venti said again.

Are you looking for death?

Kujou Takayuki drew his sword.

"No, absolutely not." Venti immediately waved her hands in fear.

After thinking for a moment, Kujou Takayuki said to Venti, "Since he doesn't have any dirt on him, can you fabricate some?"

"That..."

"What, you have a problem with that?"

Kujou Takayuki narrowed his eyes, ready to draw his sword at any moment.

"Do you think you could give me some money?"

Venti rubbed her hands together and said to Kujou Takayuki.
