See You Again, Heavenly Artisan

A'yu is a very loyal and sentimental guy.

Loyalty and morality, these relatively intangible and vague things, hold an extremely important place in A'yu's life—they are her top priorities when A'yu does things.

Whether it was saving her life or showing her the way, A'yu would remember the kindness she received and repay it many times over in the future.

Just like in her initial fourth [Instance], after being rescued by the "Diviner", she joined the "Marauders" and is still working for the "Diviner".

Even just because of a single sentence from the other party, A'yu would travel from Yanjing to Chengcheng.

Of course, another reason is that A'yu, as a native of Yanjing), although she claims to be a Second Generation immigrant, is indeed a native of Yanjing.

After all, who in Yanjing has so much free time that they spend all day browsing Panyuan and Liuli Factory?

She has money and free time, and traveling all over the country is not a big deal for her.

It doesn't actually require much of a relationship for her to move from one city to another.

It was enough that someone she liked answered a question for her.

"Wow, Jiang City Railway Station! I can't believe I'll be back in less than two months!"

On the platform, holding Fu Luo by the back of the collar as they walked out of the high-speed rail station, A'yu took a breath of the humid and sultry air of Jiang City and sighed.

Although A'yu is no longer tethering Fu Luo wouldn't dare to run away or anything.

Therefore, most people would just see this scene as a quarrel between a couple or siblings, and while they might glance at it a few times, no one would pay too much attention.

Fu Luo, carrying A'yu, stood in the square in front of the station for a while, and then saw a strong man wearing a mask and hat waving at him from afar.

A vague impression from my Memory overlaps with the other person's.

"Oh— Heavenly Artisan!"

A'yu waved and dragged Fu Luo straight toward the other person.

Then, A'yu put her hands on her hips and looked the other person up and down. "Hey, have you grown a bit taller?"

This statement clearly startled the man opposite him.

"Maybe...?"

A'yu chuckled, "You agree with everything I say? You're really something, Tiezi!"

The other person was once again taken aback. "How did you know my nickname Tiezi?"

"What the heck?" A'yu was also stunned, then her chuckle turned into a loud laugh, "I didn't know... So your name is Tiezi?"

"Anyway, I've brought the person to you. Here, Sherlock."

A'yu pushed Sherlock forward a little, then said, "Kill me or do whatever you want—you should be able to beat him, right?"

The other person nodded. "Of course, Big Sister A'yu... I know he recently 'Tier Advancement,' and even if we're both at 'Tier 1,' I'm confident he's no match for me..."

"And coincidentally, I just advanced to 'Tier 2' too!"

A'yu looked at the other person, her eyes filled with even more admiration. "Wow, impressive! You've already reached 'Tier 2'... Not bad at all. As expected, with your personality, becoming stronger is inevitable."

A'yu remembered a few more things about the man in front of her.

At the same time, their evaluation of the other party has also been significantly improved.

"A 'Tier 2' member is already considered quite capable, a senior member of the organization, and has a good personality; they're worth getting to know."

A'yu thought to herself.

Since that's the case, it's natural to try to cultivate a stronger relationship with them.

A'yu, who believes in loyalty and righteousness, always regards loyalty and righteousness as an important way to maintain relationships with others.

So, A'yu, who had already planned to leave, asked one more question.

"Can I ask you something, Tiezi? What's your grudge against this guy?"

The other person looked at Fu Luo and sneered, "You may have heard of the name 'May May' recently."

A'yu nodded. "Of course, I caught this guy because I spotted him at the home of one of our 'Marauders' Partner, and that Partner has recently been helping me investigate 'May May'..."

At this point, A'yu suddenly realized something.

"Oh, I remember now—you have a deep grudge against 'May May,' he almost killed you and many of your friends!"

"Yes," the man clenched his fist, his gaze dark and brooding, like a deep, eerily still mountain pool. "I am mortal enemies with 'May May'."

A'yu said, "So—this guy was implicated because he's on good terms with 'May May'?"

A'yu looked at Fu Luo: "So you went to Twenty's place because of 'May May'... I'll have to think more highly of you now."

"Even without me, Twenty is still a 'Tier 3' and a 'Detective' just like you... So you, a mere 'Tier 1', actually dared to go directly to his house. Your courage is truly commendable."

A'yu, who had initially looked down on Fu Luo for his cowardly behavior, now looked at Fu Luo with some surprise.

Of course, giving Fu Luo special treatment is one thing, but A'yu wouldn't let him off the hook just because of that.

At most, I'll offer a reminder to Heavenly Artisan.

"This guy's not a bad one. If you're planning to kill him, I hope you'll give him a dignified death and the respect he deserves."

A'yu spoke, the man nodded slightly.

"Understood, Big Sister A'yu, but I have to tell you, besides 'May May,' this guy also has a direct grudge against me."

"In fact, it was this guy who provided the address to the other party when 'May May' almost killed me for the first time."

A'yu raised an eyebrow. "I see."

"Furthermore, I don't intend to kill him outright," Heavenly Artisan said. "The grudge over tipping him off, and the fact that he's a friend of 'May May,' isn't enough to make me absolutely have to kill him!"

"So... I plan to use him to lure out 'May May' —I know I've already lost to 'May May' twice, and even lost my friend's life."

"But now I am already at the 'Tier 2,' having just completed my 'Tier Advancement,' and according to my intelligence, the other party is most likely still at the 'Tier 1.' If not now, when?"

A'yu raised an eyebrow. "Alright, I respect your opinion—however, judging from that kid's reputation, even though he's only 'Tier 1,' he's not someone to be trifled with, especially since he seems to have recently secured a minor official position within 'Order.' He might not go to the meeting alone as you wish."

"Furthermore... don't blame me for being blunt, but even if he really came alone, and you're at 'Tier 2' while he's at 'Tier 1,' and you've just advanced—you still might not be able to keep him here."

"You know that I have a 'Unique Profession' and that I need to understand other 'Profession'... Therefore, I know that being a 'craftsman' requires a lot of accumulated experience!"

"If you'd like, I'm free right now and can stay and help you."

A'yu spoke, the other person shook their head again.

"No need... Big Sister A'yu, I appreciate your kindness."

"However, you should know that Jiang City is a special place. Even an expert like you could easily get into trouble if you stay here any longer."

"Besides... this is my own Revenge, and I don't want to rely on your help."

I hope you can respect my stance and my choice!
