"First, congratulations to you both. You successfully thwarted the Fatui's plot at the Stone Gate this time, causing them significant losses."

Yelan spoke to Bai Ye first.

The Fatui's [The Doctor] had actually begun combining Adeptal Arts with Delusions to develop even more powerful warriors. This was not good news for Yelan, who was always on the front lines fighting the Fatui. However, Bai Ye discovered it early, allowing her to deal with it relatively easily when the time came.

"Isn't that simple! I easily took care of a few Debt Collectors."

Hu Tao said proudly at this moment.

I was also on the battlefield at the time, but those people weren't even worthy of me making a move before Bai Ye dealt with them. But I was there too, you can't say I didn't contribute.

"Oh."

Yelan replied perfunctorily.

She continued speaking to Bai Ye, "Anyway, after our first operation and your uncovering of the Fatui's activities this time, I estimate you've been thoroughly marked by them. Ningguang having you participate in this also has the intention of making you draw fire."

Bai Ye would draw fire in the open, making it easier for Yelan to investigate in secret.

"Okay, thank you for the reminder. I'll have to go ask Ningguang for more money."

"You stingy guy, what do you know besides money?"

"Floating Stone."

"Forget it, I shouldn't have expected anything from you. Bai Ye, the information you gave me last time was really good. I'm investigating, and I've actually caught quite a few Fatui operating in secret, as well as many Hundred-Binding Scrolls, all of them fakes."

Yelan said this, taking a handful of Hundred-Binding Scrolls from her pocket.

"Even though these are all fakes, they're still useful. Take a few when you need them, they'll at least serve some purpose."

Yelan distributed them to the people present.

After distributing them, she clapped her hands.

"Alright, I've also told you what I know. The subsequent actions in the open will be up to you and Miss Ganyu."

And after saying that, She didn't forget to remind Bai Ye:

"Be careful. It's said that the Fatui accomplished something in Mondstadt this time, and they're very arrogant right now. You don't need to be afraid of [Childe], but it's said that someone else will be in charge, so be cautious."

"Isn't it just [La Signora]? Don't worry, I've got this under control."

Bai Ye said indifferently.

"Hm?"

Yelan was stunned.

Wait, who between the two of us is in charge of intelligence behind the scenes?

Why is it that I haven't investigated this yet, but you already know?

"I hope your information is as true as last time."

Yelan said this, leaning close to Bai Ye's ear again.

"If it's true again, I'll give you a reward!"

After saying that, Before Hu Tao could react, her Vision activated, and she vanished before them.

Bai Ye's face was flushed red.

Do all these adult women like to tease me so much?

Just you wait, When I grow taller!

Bai Ye vowed silently in his heart.

Once I surpass Xiao in height and develop a bit more, I'll be better than Barbatos and Scaramouche.

"Why does Yelan always tease you!"

Hu Tao said indignantly.

At the same time, She grabbed Bai Ye.

"Come on, Bai Ye, join the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. This Director will stand up for you whenever you see Yelan."

Xiangling, who was nearby, heard the clinking of abacuses.

"No, I absolutely refuse!"

Bai Ye quickly waved his hands.

I wouldn't go to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor for anything!

I feel like I'm walking on needles there.

"What's so bad about it!"

Hu Tao raised an eyebrow, preparing to persuade him further.

Xiangling, looking worried, asked Bai Ye, "Bai Ye, that Miss Yelan just now said the Fatui are watching you. Are they planning to harm you?"

She knew Bai Ye was capable, but who could constantly guard against assassination attempts from the shadows?

"Oh, it's not that serious. The Fatui are watching me, but they won't assassinate me before they make their move."

Ningguang had given Bai Ye an official identity. If the Fatui continued to assassinate him, it would be a blatant disrespect to the Liyue Qixing. Once they openly attacked Bai Ye, it would prove they were ready to launch a full-scale operation and no longer cared about the Liyue Qixing's feelings, which is why they would target Bai Ye.

Bai Ye explained all this to Xiangling.

Only then did Xiangling relax.

She patted her chest.

"That's good. I'm relieved if you're safe."

If Bai Ye were in danger, she wouldn't even be able to cook properly.

At that point, she would have to show those Fatui what her Master's spear skills were like!

Hu Tao clapped her hands and said to Bai Ye and Xiangling, "Alright, since we know Bai Ye is safe, let's wrap up our picnic for today."

"Mhm."

Bai Ye and Xiangling nodded.

Then, the three of them headed back towards Liyue Harbor together.

First, they helped Xiangling move the barbecue supplies back to Wanmin Restaurant. After saying goodbye to Xiangling, Bai Ye escorted Hu Tao home.

Arriving at the entrance of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Bai Ye felt as if Zhongli was watching him.

So, he quickly said a few words to Hu Tao and left in a hurry.

After Bai Ye left, Hu Tao crossed her arms and looked back at Zhongli, who was drinking tea by the window.

"Why does he act like a mouse seeing a cat whenever he sees you?"

"I'm not sure."

Zhongli put down his teacup and said to Hu Tao.

The next day, Ganyu secretly handed over the captured Fatui to the Liyue Qixing.

Then, she was assigned to be in charge of security for the Rite of Descension.

She was about to nod and accept the task.

However, Ningguang brought her some good news.

Bai Ye would be working with her on this mission.

Upon hearing that Bai Ye would be accompanying her, Ganyu's calm demeanor turned into happiness.

She didn't object to doing the work itself, but the person she worked with made a world of difference to her mood.

When she was with her Junior Disciple Brother, even working felt more relaxing than resting.

So, at the Yuehai Pavilion the next day, Ganyu processed her work while eagerly anticipating Bai Ye's arrival.

After working for a while, Ganyu felt she should report to her Master.

Master, your two students are currently preparing for the security of the Rite of Descension. We will ensure this Rite of Descension goes smoothly for the Geo Archon. Also, please rest assured, I will help him live a better life in Liyue and ensure his cultivation is not delayed due to work.

Due to her heavy workload, Ganyu kept the message brief.

She then handed it to one of her subordinates, asking her to find someone to deliver it to Mt. Aocang.

After finishing this, Ganyu felt a comfortable aura approach her.

Lost in thought, she turned around.

She saw Bai Ye walking towards her while taking in the environment of the Yuehai Pavilion.

"Sister Ganyu, I'm here,"

he said with a grin as he approached her.
