Zhongli's Deepening Curiosity About Bai Ye

After saying this to Bai Ye, the two True Lords Ruin Chase and Moon Carver, left.

The bustling atmosphere of Wangshu Inn was rather noisy for these Adepti lived far from the mortal world.

After explaining their intentions to Bai Ye, they immediately chose to leave.

The Cloud Retainer stayed here.

"I've already destroyed that Fatui stronghold. Unfortunately, that Fatui Harbinger called 'Young Childe' is still a bit dim-witted; he managed to escape with quite a few people."

She recounted the entire battle she had just fought against the Fatui.

After hearing what Cloud Retainer said, Bai Ye couldn't help but feel sorry for Dada Yangya.

Despite his imposing appearance, he was unable to gain Cloud Retainer Liuyun Jiefeng.

Sigh, next time I see him, I'll definitely have to put in more effort.

After finishing his story, the Cloud Retainer felt relieved.

"The threat of the Fatui has been temporarily eliminated. Next, it's time for the Liyue Qixing to make their move. I want to see if these people still take us Adepti seriously."

"Um, I believe the Liyue Qixing still respect you."

"Bai Ye said dryly," Ye said.

The Adepti treated him well, Liyue Qixing treated him well too. When the two sides had a conflict, he really didn't know how to handle it.

Let's leave this difficult problem to the person who started it.

Who told him to be the biggest 'suspect' in causing the death of the Rex Lapis?

"Hmph, the Liyue Qixing might scheme against you in some way. You have to believe that as Adepti, I would never stoop to deceiving or tricking you."

"I know."

Bai Ye nodded.

He could see clearly that this Cloud Retainer was not just someone who didn't know how to cheat.

They are all inferior to Shenhe.

Looking at Bai Ye, Cloud Retainer continued, "You're going back to Liyue later, right? I'm a little worried about you going back alone in this weak state. How about this, before you come back to report, Shenhe will come and be your bodyguard. Hmm, that's settled then. I won't refuse your word. I'll go back to Mt. Aocang and wait for your news."

After saying that,

Before Bai Ye could refuse, Cloud Retainer left immediately.

The root doesn't give you a chance to refuse.

Watching her leave, Shenhe poked his head in.

"What did Shi Yi come to say?"

"No, it's just that I'll need your protection for the next period of time."

Bai Ye scratched her long hair and said to Shenhe.

"No, please."

Shenhe shook his head.

"I will definitely protect you."

His tone was firm.

While Bai Ye and Shenhe were talking, the Demon-Queller departed from Wangshu Inn.

After listening to what Bai Ye had to say, he had some guesses in his mind.

To verify his conjecture, Xiao must return to Liyue Harbor to investigate.

He steered the wind at full speed, heading south from Wangshu Inn towards Liyue Harbor.

It didn't take Xiao long to arrive at the north of Liyue Harbor.

Upon arriving at the north of Liyue Harbor, not far from the road, a rocky pillar stands atop it.

Xiao recalled what Bai Ye had said about the war and knew that the La Signora, the Harbinger of the Fatui, was inside the pillar.

She is now sealed inside, her fate unknown.

Gently touching the stone pillar, he began to sense the workings of this element.

It was a mode of operation of the element that I was completely unaware of, or a familiar feeling that I clearly sensed.

"Um..."

He was thinking with his eyes closed.

Sudden,

He opened his eyes.

Zhongli was standing right in front of him.

He was holding a cup of tea in his hand, and was sipping it slowly.

"You're here. I thought you would have noticed sooner."

"Your the Geo Archon..."

Xiao was about to speak when Zhongli waved his hand to interrupt him.

"I am now merely Zhongli Fu, Guest Official of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor."

Xiao opened his mouth, unsure of how to address him.

He really couldn't bring himself to call Zhongli.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

The Geo Archon must have had a deeper meaning in doing this; all I need to do is ask what he wants to do.

"Observe the situation calmly and then act accordingly."

Zhongli reached out and grabbed Xiao's arm.

"But the karmic obstacles on your body still need to be purged..."

He stopped halfway through his sentence.

"It seems you've had quite an adventure."

Zhongli was astonished. He had no way to remove the karmic obstacles of the demons, only to suppress them. Now, someone could actually reduce a portion of his demonic obstacles.

"Yes, Bai Ye helped me..."

Xiao told Bai Ye about how Ye had helped him absorb some of his karmic burdens.

After listening to Xiao's story, Zhongli asked:

"Did he experience any adverse reactions?"

The disappearance of part of one's karmic obstacles is a blessing in disguise. If one is Bai Ye affected, one must find a way to make up for it.

Xiao replied, "No, he has no adverse reactions other than excessive physical exertion. Your the Geo Archon, do you know what's going on?"

Zhongli shook his head and said, "There are still many unknowns on this continent. No one is omniscient or omnipotent."

He had never seen a body that could absorb karmic obstacles.

A feeling of great satisfaction arose in Zhongli's heart.

She thought she would have to take care of her nephews and nieces wholeheartedly, but she unexpectedly discovered that he also had a special skill that could help her in some ways.

Zhongli was even more eager to uncover the secrets of Bai Ye.

Wangshu Inn.

Bai Ye and Shenhe are also preparing to return to Liyue Harbor.

Since Zheng Xingqiu were also returning, they decided to travel together.

Bai Ye was too weak to drive. So Shenhe turned his attention to the vehicle again, preparing to carry it on the girl's back once more.

Bai Ye quickly stopped him.

He recovered in the wild and carried himself all the way to Liyue.

Does he still have any pride as a legendary Bounty Hunter in Liyue Harbor?

He quickly went to tell Shenhe that there was still a driver among the employees at Xingqiu's place, which made Shenhe give up his plan to carry the cart.

That's how it is.

Not feeling comfortable letting Bai Ye ride alone, he held Bai Ye on his lap.

"I don't want to!"

Bai Ye tried to resist, but Shenhe wouldn't let go.

"Master instructed me to protect you."

The driver next to him watched without daring to say a word and quickly drove to Liyue Harbor.

Bai Ye and Shenhe followed Xingqiu and the others to Liyue Harbor.

After a period of time

They have finally returned to Liyue Harbor.

Upon reaching the wooden bridge, the vehicle stopped, and Xingqiu approached and asked Bai Ye:

"Where do you plan to go next?"

"Hmm, where to?"

Bai Ye began to think.

Should we go to Seven Stars to explain the situation, or go to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor to report that everything is alright?

After thinking it over, Bai Ye made a decision.

"Hmm, let's throw a Mora. Go to the front and subtly inform the Rex Lapis, while I'll go to my ordinary friend to let him know I'm safe."

He silently recited it in his heart.
