If we consider Cloud Retainer's usual personality, she would catch up with Shenhe soon after he leaves.

Ganyu was like that back then. When she went out alone, Cloud Retainer followed her for a long time to make sure she was alright on her own before he returned to Liu Cloud Retainer Jie Feng Cave.

This time, after seeing Ganyu, he assumed that Ganyu had been taking care of Shenhe, which is why he had stayed in Cloud Retainer Borrowing Wind Cave and had not gone out.

"So now Ganyu is talking about you, then where did Shenhe go?"

Cloud Retainer used his wings to touch his chin, or rather, the area below his beak.

"She's probably going to encounter some problems."

After saying that,

She spread her wings, ready to fly away.

If Bai Ye is fine here, then Shenhe should be worried about himself.

Being a good teacher is really difficult!

"Bai Ye, you continue to recover here. I'm going to go find Shenhe. Don't worry, I'll bring him over soon. I'm sure you two will get along very well."

Cloud Retainer spoke, he prepared to leave.

Bai Ye was stopped first.

He was also somewhat worried about Shenhe's safety.

"My Lord, please don't be in such a hurry."

He thought for a moment and replied to Cloud Retainer, "I came directly north from Mt. Tianheng, passing Luhua Pool, Cuijue Slope, Jueyun Karst. Along the way, I did not see Sister Shenhe, whom you mentioned."

Shenhe's destructive power is exceptionally high; even if she were to encounter a serious incident, it would cause immense damage.

It was impossible for Bai Ye not to notice when she came over.

"So she went directly south to the Nantianmen?"

Cloud Retainer seemed to be deep in thought, then prepared to leave.

"True Lord, wait, let me go with you too."

Feeling some of the power returning to his body, Bai Ye spoke to Cloud Retainer.

"You live in the mountains for a long time, and it's not easy for you to go there alone to find out news. If Sister Shenhe really is lost somewhere, it's not convenient for you to find out. I am, after all, the most famous Bounty Hunter in Liyue Harbor. It's easier for me to find out news than for you."

Bai Ye thought about it, given Cloud Retainer's personality, he would probably just fly straight down to the Nantianmen like a crane, which might cause a lot of panic among the people around him.

"But your body..."

Cloud Retainer focused his gaze on Bai Ye.

"As Bounty Hunter, I am quite adaptable."

"Bai Ye It doesn't matter," said Ye indifferently.

He himself didn't have much of a problem; he just used up too much energy.

At worst, we can just use Art of Automata for now.

Cloud Retainer glanced at Bai Ye.

He's so young to be Bounty Hunter.

It seems that Guizhong is not in a good state right now, otherwise she wouldn't be like this.

But it's alright now, I'm here.

Whatever he needs, this immortal can give him; if not, he can ask his old friends for it.

Which of them hadn't received help from Guizhong?

"Well then, come with me."

The Cloud Retainer speaks at will.

"Remember, if we ever encounter a truly dangerous enemy, I, the immortal, will take care of it."

"Yes."

Bai Ye nodded.

"Then I'll go down the mountain first. There are some vehicles I made there. With those vehicles, I can keep up with your speed."

"Oh? What does it look like? Let me see."

The disciples of Guizhong possessed Art of Automata that Cloud Retainer was eager to see.

"That True Lord, your size..."

Seeing the way Cloud Retainer looked, Bai Ye hesitated.

Someone that tall shouldn't be able to get in, right?

"Do you think that this immortal only has this one state?"

Cloud Retainer looked at Bai Ye and said with a smile.

Subsequently,

Amidst the shocked gaze of Bai Ye, Cloud Retainer, accompanied by smoke, transformed into human form.

A beautiful, mature woman with long black hair and red-rimmed glasses appeared before Bai Ye.

"Ah..."

Bai Ye looked up in surprise at Cloud Retainer.

Although I knew that Yu could transform into human form, it was still quite unexpected that she could transform into such a beautiful mature woman.

Her body curves conform to most people's definition of beauty, and the scent of a ripe peach is overwhelming. With her fair skin and glasses, she is so dignified and beautiful.

"Hmph, so what?"

Cloud Retainer really appreciated the cute little expressions of Bai Ye.

Teasing a young boy is indeed enjoyable.

"I..."

Bai Ye didn't know what to say.

However, when he looked at the clothes on Cloud Retainer's shoulders, he felt that they looked somewhat familiar.

Damn, isn't this the missing part of my gloves, Ganyu's and Shenhe's clothes?

Cloud Retainer, are you really this frugal?

"Now, can you take me with you to take a look? Let's hurry up and set off to find Shenhe."

Seeing the bewildered Bai Ye, Cloud Retainer decided not to tease her any further.

They should at least maintain some semblance of elders' manners.

"Uh-huh."

Bai Ye nodded hurriedly and led Cloud Retainer down the mountain.

The pressure he felt towards all the mature, older women was immense.

Looking up is too tiring, and looking straight ahead means you can only see things you shouldn't be seeing.

It's best to keep some distance.

Cloud Retainer followed behind her.

The man then descended the mountain.

Cloud Retainer took out a mechanism that made the two of them fall directly down as if they were riding an elevator.

They came down the mountain at high speed, and two people stood in front of the vehicle.

"True Lord, please sit down."

As soon as Cloud Retainer sat down, his gaze began to sweep around the vehicle's interior.

"What principle is this car made of?"

She asked Bai Ye directly.

"It's Elemental Reaction of thunder and fire..." Facing Cloud Retainer, whose Art of Automata were no weaker than his own, Bai Ye had no reason to hide anything and explained the principle of the vehicle in detail.

As he spoke, he started the vehicle, then adjusted the route and headed straight for Nantianmen.

Upon hearing this, Cloud Retainer immediately understood the underlying principle and expressed his appreciation for Bai Ye's idea:

"Hmm, I really hadn't thought of using this kind of Elemental Reaction to power the car. When it comes to Art of Automata, creativity is more important than technique..."

As she said this, she immediately took out a talisman from her pocket.

"However, you've overlooked one point: with the blessing of celestial talismans, the speed of this vehicle can be increased even further."

Cloud Retainer then pressed his hand on the part where the vehicle's mechanism was connected.

Subsequently,

When Bai Ye and Cloud Retainer, they felt a strong push on their backs.

The speed increased immediately.

The speed increased from 80 miles per hour to 180 miles per hour.

Luckily, we had seatbelts, otherwise the two of us would have been thrown out.

"True Lord, if you do this again, remember to let me know!"

After stabilizing the car, Bai Ye said to Cloud Retainer.

"It seems you haven't mastered the Art of Automata yet. You should study my Art of Automata carefully when you get back, so you can predict situations like this."

The Cloud Retainer spoke lightly and casually.

Bai Ye if he hadn't seen the surprised face of Cloud Retainer in the rearview mirror at the moment of acceleration, he would have believed it.

However, he won't expose him.

"Yes, yes, I will, True Lord."

Bai Ye did indeed intend to go back and study those secret manuals carefully, and planned to thoroughly research the combination of Adeptal Arts and Art of Automata.

"Um."

Cloud Retainer enjoyed the flattery from Bai Ye with satisfaction.

In the Guizhong, she never surpassed me in the Art of Automata. At least she could teach her disciple the Art of Automata, but she couldn't teach my disciple the Art of Automata. So I consider myself the victor!

Moreover, the speed is also very good.

It's no slower than flying on my own, and it doesn't require much effort. It's really good.

Cloud Retainer sat in the carriage and began to admire the scenery.

Yes, this is the first time I've experienced this kind of feeling of admiring something from the ground.

With the blessing of the talisman of the Cloud Retainer, the car quickly arrived at the territory of the Nantianmen Gate.

The open roads here are much better for driving than those at the foot of Mt. Aocang.

However, in order to find Shenhe's whereabouts, Bai Ye slowed down the car.

"Let's start from here, Lord. As we walk, let's look around for any traces."

Cloud Retainer nodded.

The vehicle headed south.

Cloud Retainer looked around, trying hard to find any trace of him.

They hadn't gone far when

Cloud Retainer saw a person fleeing in a panic.

Behind him were several Hilichurl.

"Let's go take a look."

Cloud Retainer signaled for the carriage to stop at Bai Ye.

Bai Ye watched the fleeing person, his eyes narrowed.

The two then got out of the car.

Come to that person's side.

"Help! Someone please save me!"

The man shouted loudly.

At this moment Cloud Retainer came to his side.

"Stop!"

With Cloud Retainer froze all the Hilichurl.

Then I looked at that person.

"Thank you, thank you."

The man hurriedly thanked the Cloud Retainer.

"No need to thank me, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

The Cloud Retainer inquired.

"Please, may I ask you something?"

Have you ever seen a girl with a light brown braid?

"Hairy braids of dark brown hemp..."

Upon hearing Cloud Retainer said, the man's eyes widened immediately.

He was flustered and gesticulating wildly.

"That, that thing wasn't human. She, she was a demon. She killed us all..."

He was speaking incoherently.

"Did Shenhe really do this?"

Cloud Retainer frowned.

At this moment, Bai Ye came to the man's side.

He patted him on the shoulder.

"Taking things out of context is no good. Mr. Treasure Hoarders, tell us everything you know!"

Dealing with bad people is completely different from dealing with good people.

Although the man's mask seemed to have fallen off during the chase, his Treasure Hoarders' aura was still very obvious.

This is all money; Bai Ye won't mistake it.

Shenhe He was doing, he still wanted to hear the truth from the members of the Treasure Hoarders.

"I..."

The man frantically tried to explain.

But at that moment, he saw Bai Ye's face clearly.

His eyes immediately lit up with panic.

"Another demon..."

He was swaying and about to faint.

This is like escaping from the tiger's den only to fall into the wolf's lair.

It's over!

The man thought to himself.
