As for Fang Xun, He found Yujin and wanted to pay for the tailor's clothes.
But surprisingly, Yujin directly refused.
"Forget it, consider this outfit a gift for Ningguang. The little girl is quite pitiful, so I won't charge you."
"Besides, being able to personally craft Misty Orchid was a pleasant experience for me, so consider it a trade-off for the Mora."
When Fang Xun heard that Yujin wouldn't accept money, he immediately became unhappy.
If Yujin didn't accept money, How could he trigger his talent to earn money?
"One thing is one thing. I understand you want to help Ningguang, but you can't possibly cover the cost of the materials for the clothes, right?"
"How about this, I'll give you 200,000 Mora. Is that enough? If not, I can add more."
Fang Xun didn't know the tailor's prices, so he threw out a number.
Yujin was stunned when she heard Fang Xun's words, then said in surprise, "Silly brother, how could the material cost 100,000 Mora? That's way, way too much!"
"Wait, if you're giving so much money, you're not trying to get me to... drive, are you??"
Yujin held up her hands and made a crossing gesture.
"This is a new word I learned from Inazuma, and it expresses my attitude."
"Nope, nope, nope!"
Chapter 13: The Treasure Hoarders Seem to Be Plotting Something
Good grief, As expected of Liyue's "Car King,"
Driving at the slightest disagreement, huh?
Fang Xun could only say in response, Please, more!
Fang Xun touched his nose and said earnestly, "Sister Yujin, I think you've misunderstood. This money is for Ying'er."
"Ying'er is still young, you should give her plenty of nourishing food."
Yujin was stunned at first, then immediately understood Fang Xun's meaning.
Her pretty face flushed with anger.
You big jerk!!
Seeing Yujin's resentful expression, Fang Xun felt a surge of satisfaction.
He felt like he had finally won a round against Yujin.
Just then, the system's voice sounded in his mind.
"Talent 'What is scattered will return' triggered."
"All 250,000 Mora spent by the host has been returned, with an 8x critical hit, for a total of 2,000,000 Mora!"
As the system's voice faded, Fang Xun watched the amount of Mora in his inventory continuously increase.
He went out and didn't spend a single cent, Instead, he earned two million.
He had to admit, this talent was truly amazing.
The more he spent, the more money he made!
Snapping back to reality, Fang Xun looked down at Ningguang and said softly, "Little Ningguang, let's go shopping."
"From now on, everything will proceed according to your itinerary."
Little Ningguang nodded obediently, then said earnestly, "Brother Fang Xun, don't worry!"
"I'll definitely do a great job as your guide!"
Little Ningguang clenched her small, tender fists, looking full of determination.
Fang Xun had done so much for her.
Ningguang saw it all and kept it in her heart.
Now that she finally had a chance to repay Fang Xun, she would naturally give it her all.
Yujin leaned against the shop entrance, watching the backs of the two figures as they walked away, a faint smile on her face.
Speaking of which, this outsider named Fang Xun was really interesting.
He'd only been in Liyue for a few days, and he already had a little secretary following him?
Yujin had a strange feeling about Fang Xun, Her intuition told her that Fang Xun's arrival would bring about different changes to this ancient city of a thousand years.
Seeing that the tailor shop was empty with no customers, Yujin decided to close up and head to the inn.
Recently, the Treasure Hoarders had been too active, causing Liyue to be under city-wide martial law, and business at the inn had been slow.
Now that the Treasure Hoarders had left, Yujin planned to run some discount promotions at the inn for a few days.
Just as she was preparing to close the shop, dense, heavy footsteps echoed from not far away.
Yujin looked up and saw Millelith soldiers, holding spears and clad in armor, approaching rapidly. They then spoke loudly to the crowd before them, "We have received intelligence that the Treasure Hoarders have not left Liyue but are still lurking in the vicinity."
"Their motives are unclear, but we suspect that the Treasure Hoarders are likely planning to target the wealthy individuals in Liyue Harbor."
"Therefore, during this period, please try to avoid leaving the city and protect yourselves! Liyue's city gates will also be closed soon."
Upon hearing that the threat of the Treasure Hoarders had not been resolved, the crowd immediately became panicked and uneasy, losing their previous leisurely demeanor.
The words "Treasure Hoarders" were a symbol of extreme danger to ordinary citizens!
Perhaps to players, the Treasure Hoarders they encountered were just minor thugs without any real threat, easily defeated by the protagonist.
But in reality, the Treasure Hoarders on the continent of Teyvat were nothing of the sort!
The Treasure Hoarders lived a life on the edge of a knife; how could they be pushovers?
Their personalities were extremely brutal and violent; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they killed without batting an eye.
Previously, a member of the Treasure Hoarders had injured a shopkeeper simply over whether a melon was ripe, using extremely cruel methods.
It could be said that the Treasure Hoarders were the nightmare of the residents.
No one wanted to encounter the Treasure Hoarders, as meeting them meant a high probability of a grim fate.
Now, hearing that the Treasure Hoarders had not left and were still causing trouble nearby, everyone was naturally worried and anxious.
Seeing the crowd's panic, the Millelith immediately moved to reassure them.
"Everyone, please don't worry. Just stay at home during this period and avoid leaving the city without reason."
"The Millelith will bring those Treasure Hoarders to justice as soon as possible to ensure everyone's safety!"
"Please believe in the strength of the Millelith, the protection of the Liyue Qixing, and the guardianship of Lord Rex Lapis!"
Someone in the crowd prayed, "May Lord Rex Lapis bless us and quickly eliminate those scourges."
"We believe in the Millelith, we believe in Lord Rex Lapis!"
While everyone was discussing, Yujin's expression turned grim.
The Treasure Hoarders' disruption of business was one reason, but more importantly, Yujin had just overheard Fang Xun and Ningguang discussing leaving the city.
Those two were planning to go to Wangshu Inn to enjoy the scenery!
In other words, they might encounter the Treasure Hoarders?!
Thinking of this, Yujin couldn't bother with anything else and immediately stepped forward, saying to the Millelith, "This is bad! Ningguang and another outlander named Fang Xun just left the city!"
"Could they be in trouble?"
The Millelith soldiers' faces changed upon hearing this. Two people had just left the city before they announced the lockdown?
The Millelith's primary duty was to protect the safety of the citizens. Naturally, they couldn't allow Ningguang and Fang Xun, who had already left the city, to be in danger.
The leading general of the Millelith said with a grave expression, "Send two people to inform Lady Ganyu of this matter. We may need her help."
"The rest of you, follow me outside the city to search for those two citizens."
"If the Treasure Hoarders find them first, it will be troublesome!"
