Regardless of what Rosalyn did after leaving the 'prison', Bai Ye and Hu Tao rested for a while longer at the place where Rosalyn was imprisoned before preparing to leave.

Looking at the scenery inside, Bai Ye pondered for a moment, then took out his Serenitea Pot.

"Hmm? What are you doing with the Serenitea Pot?"

Watching Bai Ye's actions, Hu Tao asked with some curiosity.

Bai Ye said matter-of-factly, "Of course we'll take everything inside! This place has mountains and water; it's far superior to my Serenitea Pot."

Although it was a prison, and although there was no one inside, Zhongli had no intention of mistreating Rosalyn. Especially considering Bai Ye and Hu Tao's feelings while practicing combat inside, this place was practically a natural scenic spot. Seeing this, Bai Ye naturally wanted to find a way to take it home.

Moreover, Bai Ye's Serenitea Pot was made by Grandma Yu, whose skills were still somewhat inferior to Zhongli's, since this ability was given to her by Zhongli. Although Bai Ye possessed Zhongli's powers, she lacked experience, so the scale of the Serenitea Pot could not be compared with the cage where Rosalyn was currently imprisoned.

Now that he could move it directly into his Serenitea Pot, Bai Ye certainly wouldn't let it go.

"I would never waste a single thing."

Bai Ye said firmly in his heart.

Soon, the surrounding environment was as if the delete key had been pressed on a computer; the surrounding mountains and rivers were directly cut out, and then Bai Ye used his ability to paste them into the Serenitea Pot.

Only after turning the surroundings completely dark did Bai Ye nod in satisfaction.

"Yes, that's good. Let's leave now."

"Um."

The group left.

After leaving this place and coming outside, looking at the standing pillar, Bai Ye reached out and placed his hand on it.

There's nothing here, so leaving this pillar here would just be in the way.

Gently stroke the stone pillar, and the entire pillar turns to ashes.

Watching the stone pillar turn to ashes, Bai Ye said to Hu Tao and Xiangling, "Since there's nothing in here anyway, let's not leave it here, so as not to obstruct other people's travel."

This stone pillar stands north of Liyue Harbor, and it does significantly affect other people's travel. However, since motor vehicles are not yet widespread in Liyue, the impact is not significant. But once the number of vehicles increases and every household in Liyue owns a car, a pillar standing on the road could easily lead to traffic accidents.

"Indeed, I've accidentally bumped into this pillar several times on my way home."

Hu Tao agreed with this.

"With your driving skills, you could easily cause an accident even on a wide, unobstructed road."

Bai Ye muttered to himself.

This is only because Hu Tao possesses both Adeptal Art and the ancestral movement techniques of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor; otherwise, he would have already advised Hu Tao to stop speeding like this.

"Hehe..."

Hu Tao smiled indifferently.

Then, Bai Ye couldn't help but deliver a chop to her hat.

This Hu Tao has been infected with Anemo Archon disease and needs to be treated as soon as possible.

"Snort!"

Hu Tao was shocked that Bai Ye would deliver a chop to her hand like that, and immediately covered her forehead, glaring at Bai Ye.

Upon seeing this, Bai Ye immediately pointed behind him.

"Hu Tao, do you think those people are here to sign up for a membership?"

"Ah!?"

Hu Tao instinctively looked back, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Ye escaped and left.

"Hey, you bastard!"

Hu Tao quickly chased after him, wanting to teach Bai Ye a lesson.

Finally, Bai Ye pretended to run too slowly and was caught by Hu Tao. But after being caught, he put on a cute, pleading look on his face.

"Hateful!"

Hu Tao angrily released Bai Ye.

No matter how hateful that guy is, I just can't bring myself to be cruel when I see that face.

Bai Ye smiled broadly.

Xiangling caught up with them.

"You guys run way too fast, Guoba and I can barely keep up with you." She walked up to Bai Ye and complained to the two of them.

"Ha ha..."

Hu Tao smiled indifferently.

"Well..."

Guoba let out a long sigh.

Just then, Xiangling looked ahead and pointed to the place where she had said "Oh!" to Bai Ye, "Look, isn't that Ayaka over there? What is she doing over there?"

"Um?"

Upon hearing Xiangling's words, Bai Ye and the others turned their gazes in that direction.

Not far ahead, Thoma was communicating with a girl, accompanied by Kamisato Ayaka. Beside Ayaka was another girl dressed in short clothes, with only half of her face covered by a mask.

Bai Ye knew them all.

The person communicating with Ayaka is Yanfei, while the person next to Ayaka is Kuki Shinobu, the external brain of the Arataki Gang.

Kuki Shinobu someone Bai Ye had only seen in the game, and he hadn't actually interacted with during his trip to Inazuma. However, Yanfei had met Bai Ye.

Previously, when Dori was scheming against Xingqiu's father, Bai Ye had asked Yanfei about matters concerning the law.

How did these people end up together?

Bai Ye thought to himself, then walked over there.

Before I even got there, I heard Yanfei saying something to Ayaka:

"... Regarding the Protection of Minors Law, Ningguang revised it a few years ago, and it stipulates that those who violate minors will be severely punished. By the way, this guest from Inazuma, are you asking me if someone you know has been violated? If so, I will definitely crack down on it and bring the perpetrator to justice."

With that, she prepared to take action. Although she had just planned to set off to complete someone's will, it was clear that this matter was more important now.

Combating crime is of utmost urgency.

"..."

Ayaka's expression was somewhat unnatural.

Thoma's gaze involuntarily drifted to the side.

Both of them felt embarrassed by Yanfei's righteous and stern words.

Just then, Thoma saw Bai Ye and Hu Tao coming over.

"Cough cough cough..." Thoma coughed violently.

Ayaka noticed Bai Ye at this moment, and blushed shyly.

"Huh? What's wrong with you guys?"

Yanfei looked at the changes in their expressions with some confusion.

She couldn't help but look over there.

Just then, they saw Bai Ye walking over.

The white-haired boy looked so adorable, with a subtle, alluring smile always playing at the corners of his mouth.

A thought instantly filled Yanfei's mind.

"This guy, I really want to..."

She was halfway through her thought when she suddenly woke up.

She did remember her responsibilities as Liyue's legal advisor.

At the same time,

Yanfei also recognized Bai Ye.

He used to be my client and had consulted me about Contract Law issues.

"But why do I feel he's so much better looking than he was back then, to the point that it makes me want to commit a crime? I still..."

Yanfei had only thought halfway through when she turned her gaze to Ayaka, who had just consulted her about the protection of minors.

Could it be that she wants to...?

Seeing Yanfei looking at her with a look of sudden realization, Ayaka couldn't help but look to the side.
