"Come on, Klee, I'll show you a magic trick."

At the breakfast table, Bai Ye smiled and said to Klee.

"Magic? What kind of magic is it?"

Bai Ye stretched out her fair hands and casually picked up a piece of bread.

"Look, this is bread."

Klee nodded earnestly.

"Then I waved my hand, and he turned into a flower."

"Really?"

Klee's eyes shone with anticipation.

"Certainly."

Bai Ye gently stroked it with his palm, and then the bread in Bai Ye's hand turned into flowers.

He directly used his teacher's power to alter matter and Matter Transmutation. Although Guizhong used his power to act tough with Bai Ye while they were shopping yesterday, Guizhong still gave his power to Bai Ye when they went to bed that night.

Of course, Bai Ye also told her teacher a bedtime story about Valkyrie named Bronya. Well, she didn't mention what would happen eight years later.

The story about the tablet made Guizhong very happy.

As for why he didn't mention A Certain Adeptus, Bai Ye planned to save this secret for later.

"Wow! That's amazing! Brother, how are these 'pi' made?"

Klee clapped her hands and shouted to Bai Ye in surprise.

On the other hand, Guizhong curled his lip in disdain.

"This is my trick. I magically transported the bread to a very, very far place, and then I brought the flower from that very, very far place. I'm a very powerful magician," Bai Ye said, patting Klee's head.

"Wow, amazing! Brother Bai Ye, you're an incredibly skilled magician."

Klee clapped her hands and said.

Bai Ye smiled slightly.

Then he turned his head and saw that everyone else had speechless expressions.

"This is truly an excellent magic trick. I doubt anyone could figure out how you did it."

Only the Eight Divine Child spoke with an expression of 'adoration'.

Bai Ye blushed slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Deceiving children is utterly tasteless.

However, having just acquired his teacher's powers, he always wanted to show them off. As for the others, they were all more or less aware of the Guizhong powers, or even if they weren't, they could roughly guess what they were by seeing Bai Ye's actions.

After thinking it over, the only person Bai Ye could fool was Klee.

See how they managed to fool Klee? Bai Ye and the others continued eating.

While eating, Bai Ye asked the King Deshret:

"Sister King Deshret, I plan to go and search for the ruins of the Scarlet King and the Flower Goddess. I wonder how much you know about them?"

He knew nothing about the events in the desert, so he could only ask the King Deshret for details.

After hearing Bai Ye's question, the King Deshret thought for a moment and then said seriously to Bai Ye:

"Be careful when searching for their remains."

"Careful?"

Bai Ye never expected that the King Deshret would give such an evaluation at this moment.

He originally thought that going to the ruins of the Scarlet King and the Flower Goddess to seek power would be an extremely smooth thing, but he didn't expect that the King Deshret would give such an evaluation.

Bai Ye remembers that when Ying went to the Scarlet King's Ruins, she didn't encounter many problems.

"Yes, you have to be very careful. If it were anyone else, you could just be a little careful, but if you go, there's a possibility that they might have left behind some schemes or plots."

The King Deshret nodded earnestly.

"After all, everyone else can be on either side. Only you are firmly on the side of Heavenly Principles."

"The Scarlet King Chi doesn't really like Celestia. The Flower Goddess's attitude is also rather ambiguous. I remember the last time I met her, she made many predictions with me, including the disaster in Khaenri'ah, and the deaths of me and the Scarlet King, etc."

"It's alright, I'll go with you." Just then, Raiden Ei spoke up.

As she said this, she touched the knife in her hand.

While the Scarlet King may have more schemes and plots than himself, in terms of pure combat, Raiden Ei dares to say that he is no weaker than any of the Teyvat Gods except for Zhongli.

Even Zhongli surpasses her in defensive power, and in terms of pure destructive power, Raiden Ei dares to compete with her.

Now that I'm facing the ruins of the Scarlet King, I might as well just cut it down and turn it into the ruins of the Scarlet King.

"We're here to seek the Scarlet King, not to destroy things." The King Deshret's lips twitched as he said to Raiden Ei, "If it's just about destruction, Bai Ye could already do it by activating the True God Mode. However, to investigate the specific situation, we still need to investigate carefully."

"Oh, I see."

Raiden Ei finally puts down the long sword with reluctance.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

Bai Ye nodded sincerely.

Seeing Bai Ye's serious expression, the King Deshret didn't want him to be too nervous, so he changed his tone and said, "Don't worry, they haven't planned everything. At least you, they have absolutely no idea about your origins. They also have absolutely no idea about my resurrection."

"Um."

Bai Ye nodded.

"King Deshret, after we finish eating, I'll go find Dori to prepare the food and other things for our trip to the desert. Once everything is ready, we'll set off the next day."

"Um."

The King Deshret nodded.

After finishing their meal, Bai Ye and Guizhong prepared to go find Dori.

Others were doing other things.

Especially the Eighth Divine Child, who at this moment was even more concerned about the 'fun' she had found in Sumeru City.

Bai Ye and Guizhong quickly found Dori.

Upon seeing Guizhong, Dori immediately looked at Bai Ye with a strange expression.

"Hey, Little Bai Ye, is this yet another lover coming to see you?"

She joked.

"No, I am his teacher."

Guizhong looked displeased when he heard what Dori said.

Hmm, a look of dissatisfaction appeared on his face.

"Ah!?"

Hearing Byakuya say that, Dolly couldn't help but gape. But she quickly realized what she meant and hurriedly said to Byakuya, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I'm magnanimous and will forgive you."

Guizhong waved his hand.

Dori was very happy, thinking that Teacher Bai Ye was actually quite easy to handle.

She continued to ask Bai Ye, "Then why did you come to see me, Bai Ye? Is there something you need to do?"

Dori was a little worried that Bai Ye might make some difficult requests.

"Yes, I'm heading to Sumeru. Naturally, I need to prepare some supplies. I'll need your help with the supplies for the Sumeru Desert."

"Okay, okay, I guarantee you all the supplies."

Dori breathed a sigh of relief and immediately patted her chest.

"But, Bai Ye. Bai, could you please introduce me to some of the higher-ups at the academy?"

Dori made a request to Bai Ye.

"That's natural."

Bai Ye nodded affirmatively.

He was serious about that.

"Then I'll prepare it for you right away. I just don't know how much you can carry. Do you need me to prepare some Dravya Beast for you?"

"Prepare 300 jin of food for me, several hundred jin of fruit, and drinking water..."

Bai Ye said a lot.

Even if he went to the desert, he didn't plan to do anything desert treacherous; he still wanted to live comfortably.

Upon hearing Bai Ye mention these supplies, Dori's lips twitched involuntarily.

"Are you going on a desert expedition, or are you going to support the tribes over there?"

"Exploration, of course it's exploration."

Bai Ye said with a serious expression.

Three or four more days passed.

Bai Ye was still looking for Dori to prepare supplies, and Hu Tao and Xiangling also came to Sumeru City together.

"Is this Sumeru? Hmm, why are there so many plants? If we could use them as fuel..."

Hu Tao looked at the trees, initially surprised by how many there were. However, she veered off-topic after only saying half of what she had said.

Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, they still use charcoal. With so many trees in the area, how much charcoal could they possibly make?

Xiangling, standing to the side, nodded in agreement.

Wanmin Restaurant needs so much charcoal.

Xiangling took Hu Tao's hand and looked ahead, saying, "Let's go, let's try the food from Sumeru."

She had never been to Sumeru before, so naturally she wanted to try Sumeru cuisine, hoping to improve her cooking skills. Her culinary skills were currently unparalleled, but her knowledge of food was still somewhat lacking.

Guoba silently looked around.

After sensing it for a moment, it was immediately taken aback.

Etc,

Isn't there a bit too many Gods in Sumeru City?

Isn't it just Lesser Lord Kusanali alone?

Now...

One, two, three, four, five.

The aura of the five Gods' powers?

What's going on?

Are there that many Gods on Sumeru?

Guoba stepped forward and pulled Hu Tao and Xiangling back.

"Wait a minute."

Sanctifying Sea, the King Deshret and Raiden Ei were taken aback at first. Then, the King Deshret smiled and said, "Hmm, it's Makoshort."

"Oh."

Raiden Ei nodded.

This matter was taken care of by Bai Ye.

Meanwhile, at Dori's warehouse, Bai Ye was still checking the food when Gui Guizhong patted him on the shoulder.

She said to Bai Ye, "It seems we need to pause for a moment."

The slight fluctuation in Guoba Guizhong.

"Um?"

Bai Ye looked at her teacher with a puzzled expression.

His Gods powers did not reside within him, unlike his teacher's perception.

"Someone's here."

Guizhong said with a grin.

Who is it?

Bai Ye asked.

"Of course it's what you want to see. As for me, I'd really like to improve my meals."

Guizhong smiled and said.

"Qiu."

She took Bai Ye's hand and led him outside.

Qiye followed the final action.

He had a rough idea of who she was.

However, to the surprise and delight of Bai Ye and Guizhong, it wasn't just Xiangling who came; Hu Tao also showed up.

At this moment, Bai Ye was watching Hu Tao and Xiangling standing by a tree, surrounded by several members of the Fatui.

"Um!?"

Although Bai Ye knew that these people were no match for Hu Tao and Xiangling, she still instinctively rushed over.

Then,

I overheard Xiangling and Hu Tao discussing it.

"If you burn this tree into charcoal, the food you roast will have a unique and wonderful aroma. Xiangling, why don't you give it a try?"

"Hu Tao, how did you know that this kind of food has a fragrance when burned? Your customers probably don't care too much about these things."

"Why not? Nowadays, the key is to create a unique flavor. I was even planning to develop scents like Sunset Berry and mint, but unfortunately, I haven't found the right ones yet."

To the Bai Ye eye, the Fatui around him all wore expressions of fear.

They probably all thought these two were incredibly vicious people, even considering their taste after burning the bodies.

"This is my friend, you should leave now."

Bai Ye cleared his throat and spoke to the members of the Fatui.

As he spoke, he also took out his identification.

If the members of the Fatui are granted a pardon, they should leave immediately.

Upon hearing Bai Ye's voice, Hu Tao exclaimed with delight, "Bai Ye! Master Yuya is here!"

The next second, she came directly to Bai Ye's side.

She said to Bai Ye:

"Sect Master hasn't forgotten your day. He came straight over after finishing his training with Zhongli. Now, Sect Master, your strength has increased a lot. I wonder how much you've improved..."

However, she sniffed at this moment and couldn't help but frown.

"Why do I feel like you smell like other girls besides your own scent? And they're girls I don't recognize."

The smell is a bit strong; this probably wasn't just from one or two hugs, they might have been living together for a long time.

Hu Tao, do you remember that Bai Ye are about to come of age?

No, I must protect Bai Ye.

"Hu Tao, it's me."

It was only then that Hu Tao noticed Bai Ye Guizhong beside Yu Ye.

Upon seeing Guizhong, Hu Tao's eyes lit up.

"Guizhong the Master's Throne!"

"Um."

Guizhong nodded with a smile.

Xiangling also happily shouted, "Guizhong Master's Throne!"

Guizhong smiled and patted Hu Tao and Xiangling on the head.

Well, those two are quite short; they can easily fall down by simply raising their arms. As for Shenhe ...

Guizhong realized that even standing on tiptoe, he probably couldn't touch the head.

"Well, it's already noon. Let's grab something to eat and chat at the same time."

No one objected.

There was a restaurant nearby. Hu Tao asked Guizhong:

"Have you recovered yet?"

"Yes, I have naturally recovered my body. Moreover, my strength as Gods has almost returned. I will teach you some lessons when I have the chance."

Guizhong nodded with a smile.

Although my strength is a bit lacking compared to the Gods, and my guidance in learning is a bit lacking, I should still be stronger than Hu Tao.

Guiding her shouldn't be a big problem.

She thought to herself.

Hu Tao smiled and nodded.

Then, remembering her question, she quickly said to Bai Ye:

"By the way, Bai Ye, after we finish eating, let's find a place where you can help me replenish my yang energy."

"Um!?"

"Um!?"

"Um!?"

"Um!?"

At Bai Ye, Guizhong, Xiangling and Guoba were completely bewildered.

Bai Ye looked at Hu Tao in surprise.

No, what cultivation techniques did Zhongli teach Hu Tao?

Is it from the Hehuan Sect?

"What's wrong?"

Hu Tao looked at the group of people with a strange expression.

Then, she realized what was happening.

On the face,

A mischievous expression immediately appeared on his face.

"The sect leader now wants to replenish his yin by absorbing yang energy."
