Xiao: If It Weren't for the Geo Archon, I'd Back Bai Ye Without Thinking!

After helping Bai Ye away, Xiao left to find other Adepti.

It was still urgent to inform the other Adepti about the assassination attempt on the Rex Lapis.

Bai Ye lay sprawled on the table, limp as a noodle.

Shenhe and Xingqiu were startled when they saw him like this.

What's wrong?

Are you afraid of heights if you go up to the roof?

Shenhe also seemed to be deep in thought. When she lifted Bai Ye up along with the car just now, Bai Ye's face was also extremely pale.

Could it be that he is really afraid of heights?

Seeing everyone's expressions, Bai Ye quickly explained:

"How could that be? I'm only like this because I've exhausted myself!"

He paused for a moment, then continued:

"I've absorbed some of the Xiao's karma."

Absorbing karmic obstacles!?

Both Xingqiu and Chongyun wore expressions of disbelief, especially Chongyun, who came from a family of Onmyoji and was very clear about karmic obstacles.

Bai Ye was actually able to absorb these.

Shenhe seemed to be deep in thought.

Since he can absorb malevolent energy, he can also absorb karmic obstacles.

"Yes, I absorbed too much negative karma just now, which has caused me to expend a lot of energy. I want to rest now..."

Before Bai Ye could finish speaking, Shenhe picked her up while she was half asleep and half awake.

Shenhe then looked at the proprietress, Fei.

"Excuse me, how do I book a room?"

"..."

Fei booked a guest room for Shenhe.

Shenhe then carried Bai Ye inside.

She placed it on the bed before turning to leave.

Before leaving the village

She also said to Bai Ye, "If you need anything, just call out and I'll hear you."

After saying that, she slowly walked out.

All that remained for Bai Ye was the constant echo of her teacher Hagintos's laughter in her mind. As she laughed, Hargentus spoke to Bai Ye:

"Hehe... Bai Ye, hurry up and train. How can my disciple be bullied like this by a mere disciple of Cloud Retainer? Hahaha... If you don't come up with a way to turn the tide, then I'll have no choice but to resort to that method."

"What method?"

"I'm not going to acknowledge you as my disciple anymore!"

"Go away, what kind of teacher are you? Besides, I was mainly exhausted, otherwise I wouldn't be like this."

Shenhe's innate superhuman strength is no match for her, nor is Ningguang Yelan's high emotional intelligence. Perhaps... perhaps she'll be at a disadvantage against Hu Tao...

It's still more appropriate to tease ordinary friends.

"Hey-hey..."

Hagintos was still laughing, Bai Ye, feeling a little embarrassed, quickly said to his teacher:

"Teacher, stop talking for now. First, see how much karma this absorbing demon has accumulated."

"Let me see..."

Hagintos examined it.

"Yes, this time it has increased by a few tenths of a percent."

"Why is there still so little?"

"Hmm... maybe you haven't absorbed enough. I estimate that the karmic burden of this Yaksha over thousands of years can significantly improve my recovery."

"I will work out harder in the future."

Bai Ye decided that once she returned to Liyue, in addition to researching mechanisms to protect herself, she would also strive to improve her personal physical fitness.

"Art of Automata, physical fitness, making money, finding the Floating Stone..."

Bai Ye suddenly felt everything go black.

"Forget it, I'll just give up. I'll take care of these things tomorrow."

He planned to take a nap first.

Sensing that Bai Ye was asleep, Hagintos, who had been teasing him, stopped smiling.

The soul observes the sleeping Bai Ye.

Exhausted, he fell into a deep sleep.

Her platinum blonde hair was loose, half of her pretty face was buried in the pillow, her lips were slightly parted to reveal her little tongue, and her nostrils trembled gently with her breathing.

The soul gently caressed his fair cheek, Hagintos quietly watched him fall asleep.

Upon sensing the aura of Adepti emanating from outside, she quickly hid inside Bai Ye's body, determined not to be exposed.

"Moon Carver, Ruin Chase, we have arrived at the Wangshu Inn. Your current forms may cause misunderstandings among mortals, so please transform into human form."

Xiao looked at the beast and bird standing behind him and said.

He went to the caves of Moon Carver and Ruin Chase, and told them about the assassination attempt on Rex Lapis.

The two Adepti were immediately enraged and wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly.

They all sent Xiao to call Bai Ye over to ask him questions.

However, Xiao wouldn't want Bai Ye to be overworked on top of his own exhaustion, so he invited these two Adepti over.

The Demon-Queller still has that kind of face; the two Adepti also followed him to Wangshu Inn.

"What a hassle, having to transform into human form."

The Ruin Chase muttered something.

"The Geo Archon ordered us to stay away from the people in order to protect them. We really cannot let others be harmed for our own freedom."

The Moon Carver strongly agreed.

"I was just grumbling a bit," Ruin Chase said softly. "I'm not as stubborn as True Cloud Retainer, who would actually go to see people. Luckily, she wasn't there when you went to find her."

The two Adepti then transformed into human form.

One was robust, the other was thin and frail, both middle-aged.

Although their looks are not as stunning as those of the Cloud Retainer, they both exude an otherworldly aura.

"Let's go see that special envoy from Liyue, isn't it Bai Ye...? I'd like to ask about the details of the Rite of Descension. How could the Geo Archon have been murdered in Liyue Harbor?"

The Moon Carver walked in front of her.

"Yes, yes, the 'Ya-Ya-Shen'..."

Just as he was about to say "interrogation, "Ruin Chase saw Xiao staring at his face.

"He asked him a few questions."

"My two True Lords, Bai Ye was the special envoy who communicated Adepti and mortals when the Geo Archon issued his final decree. He was also a close friend who helped me twice."

Xiao said seriously.

"Don't worry, we don't intend to be his enemy. We just want to ask him some questions."

"The Moon Carver said with a smile."

At the same time,

My heart was also filled with wonder.

What kind of charm does Bai Ye possess that makes Xiao so willing to stand up for him?

He planned to ask Bai Ye later.

Just then, a crane's cry rang out from the sky.

Then the three Adepti saw a crane flying in from the sky.

He is the Cloud Retainer.

They thought to themselves.

Cloud Retainer flew down and stretched his wings with great pleasure.

After a satisfying flight, Cloud Retainer flew a long distance to Wangshu Inn and felt his muscles and bones were loosened up, making him feel very comfortable.

She asked the others:

What brings you here?

"The Geo Archon was assassinated, and a special envoy from Liyue came to report this to us. We were just about to come over and ask him for clarification."

"That Moon Carver said."

At the same time,

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Cloud Retainer is an extremely impatient person; she will definitely ask for clarification first.

I'm finally not going to be the bad guy anymore.
