I Suspect the One Who Sealed La Signora Is the True Culprit Behind the Geo Archon's Murder

The four of them walked up to Wangshu Inn.

Xingqiu and Yun have already opened a room and gone inside to rest.

Only Shenhe remained on the table outside.

Both the Ruin Chase and the Moon Carver were somewhat surprised to see Shenhe.

However, everyone secretly thought that this time it would allow Cloud Retainer to see Bai Ye directly.

Cloud Retainer was the first to rush forward.

"Is Bai Ye from inside the game?"

She asked Shenhe.

Shenhe nodded.

"That..."

Cloud Retainer wanted to go find Bai Ye.

However, Shenhe stopped him.

This surprised the other two Adepti.

Shenhe actually stopped her master.

"Master, don't rush to look for him. Bai Ye, you should rest now; it's not convenient for you to see anyone."

Upon hearing Shenhe's words, the two True Lords, Xiaoyue Zhuyang and Lishui Dieshan, immediately perked up, pricked up their ears, and prepared to see what would happen next.

A fight is inevitable.

Cloud Retainer is, he would definitely have a quarrel with his own disciple.

Then we can watch the show.

Then,

These two True Lords then saw that Cloud Retainer was sitting next to Shenhe.

"Okay, let's wait."

Cloud Retainer nodded.

She sat down and picked up the teapot and empty teacup, pouring water in front of her.

The Moon Carver and the Ruin Chase were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.

Is this still the Cloud Retainer?

Why are you so unhurried and so gentle?

Are we afraid that the Erosion is severe?

I'd like to say more.

At this moment, the door was pushed open.

Bai Ye, disheveled, came out.

Her face still looked tired, as if she hadn't slept enough.

He was aware that several Adepti were coming, and seeing that they had all arrived, it was really going too far for him to still be lying in bed sleeping.

So Bai Ye quickly got up and went outside.

He looked at Xiao with some surprise. He had originally wanted Xiao to deliver a message before he passed away, but Xiao had directly invited these two Adepti over.

Both the Moon Carver and the Ruin Chase frowned upon seeing Bai Ye.

This little boy, he came to deliver a message to us?

How perfunctory is this Liyue Qixing?

While they were thinking like this, Cloud Retainer had already arrived in front of Bai Ye.

"Your body feels even weaker than when we parted. What have you been doing all this time?"

She looked concerned.

His face had become unnaturally pale. What had Bai Ye done that had drained his energy?

"I absorbed the karmic burdens of the demon."

Bai Ye replied to Cloud Retainer Jun.

"Absorbing karmic obstacles?"

Cloud Retainer was first surprised, then frowned deeply as he looked at him.

"You have no idea how dangerous this is... Never mind, you have your own plans too. Don't forget to discuss it with your elders."

She was about to ask if Bai Ye was taking a risk, but then she remembered that Bai Ye might have communicated with Guizhong, so she stopped herself from saying it.

At this moment, both the Moon Carver and the Ruin Chase looked at Bai Ye.

He can absorb the karmic burdens of the demon.

This is something even the Geo Archon couldn't do.

If there weren't more important things to do right now, they would definitely want to find out more.

"Ahem, let's talk about the Geo Archon."

The Moon Carver said.

Bai Ye then tidied up her hair.

"There are too many people outside, let's go inside and discuss the matter."

The Wangshu Inn is crowded and noisy, making it inconvenient to communicate with the Adepti.

"Um."

The Moon Carver agrees.

The others had no objections either.

So, Bai Ye invited several Adepti to the vacant room.

Upon arriving at the empty room, Cloud Retainer and pasted them around.

"Ah, now no one here can hear what's happening here."

Cloud Retainer said to the others.

"Come here, kid... you're an envoy from Liyue, tell me what's going on."

Just as Ruin Chase was about to angrily question Bai Ye about something, he immediately noticed three unfriendly glares directed at him.

Xiao, Shenhe, and Cloud Retainer.

Forget it, you guys are too strong, I can't afford to mess with you.

However, why did Cloud Retainer look at Bai Ye with even more support than Xiao?

Xiao's side has already helped him absorb karmic obstacles, so does Cloud Retainer's side need to go even further?

The Ruin Chase in His Heart.

"That was during the Rite of Descension..."

Bai Ye slowly recounted to the two Adepti everything that had happened during the previous Rite of Descension.

This includes matters concerning the Treasure Hoarders and the Fatui.

"In short, with the help of some unexpected force, we imprisoned the [La Signora] of the Fatui, while Fatui [Childe] of the Fatui escaped, and the members of the Treasure Hoarders were all captured by our Millelith."

Upon hearing this, the Adepti all began to ponder.

Xiao frowned in thought.

He felt he had grasped a certain idea, but he didn't want to say it aloud.

After glancing at the other Adepti, he decided to go and take a look himself later.

Cloud Retainer said, "When I came here, I had already dealt with those Fatui. Apart from the official called 'Childe,' there weren't many Fatui left."

The Moon Carver began his analysis.

"The Fatui have no chance of assassinating the Geo Archon, Treasure Hoarders have even less chance. The most likely person to assassinate the Geo Archon right now is the mysterious La Signora from the Fatui who suddenly sealed her away on the battlefield."

After thinking it over,

The most likely explanation is the mysterious figure on the battlefield.

The La Signora's strength is very likely no less than that of these Adepti.

It's possible to shut her down completely in one go.

In the minds of the Adepti, only a very few Gods could do this.

Upon hearing the news from Moon Carver, Bai Ye was somewhat surprised.

Statue of the venerable,

What he said was absolutely right.

The real culprit behind the assassination of the Rex Lapis was actually the person who helped him on the battlefield.

The person who helped him on the battlefield was probably Zhongli.

He really was the culprit who 'murdered' the Rex Lapis.

Looking at Bai Ye, Moon Carver said, "According to the rules, after the Geo Archon was assassinated, we were supposed to immediately go and suppress Liyue Harbor and the Seven Stars. However, we will give them a chance to find the person who helped you on the battlefield or the real culprit who assassinated the Geo Archon within ten days. Otherwise, we Adepti will definitely suppress Liyue Harbor."

"Yes, that's what we mean too."

The Cloud Retainer also agrees with the Moon Carver's statement.

Of course, looking at Bai Ye, she was also worried about frightening the child, so she quickly added:

"Don't worry, no matter what, the Liyue Qixing have nothing to do with you, and we won't lay a hand on you."
