Hearing Zhong Baiye make that confident declaration, the master's first instinct was disbelief, but he still turned back to take a closer look at him.
When he saw the three Visions hanging at Zhong Baiye's waist, something seemed to occur to him, though he did not dare be certain.
While the master stood staring blankly at Zhong Baiye, the fishermen nearby noticed them as well.
The moment those fishermen saw Zhong Baiye, admiration shone in their eyes.
"Lord Honorary Liyue Qixing!"
Zhong Baiye noticed the fishermen greeting him and turned to nod at them.
The master had also heard what the fishermen called Zhong Baiye, and excitement immediately spread across his face.
"So you're the Honorary Liyue Qixing who saved Liyue Harbor! If it's you, perhaps you really can solve the power supply problem."
As he spoke, the master came over and seized Zhong Baiye's hands, as though afraid he might sneak away at any moment.
Zhong Baiye had no interest in the master. He immediately pulled his hands free and addressed him with a serious expression.
"Master, my goal is to reach Inazuma. You don't need to worry about me running off."
Only then did the master realize he had lost his composure, and he hurriedly apologized to Zhong Baiye.
The master then invited Zhong Baiye and Keqing aboard the whale ship to have a look.
He led them beneath the whale ship and pointed at its pitch-black mouth.
"This is the entrance to my treasure. We have to go in through here."
Zhong Baiye and Keqing hesitated. Was it really safe to walk straight in through there?
Seeing why they were hesitant, the master immediately climbed up on his own and went straight into the enormous mouth.
At that, Zhong Baiye and Keqing stopped hesitating and followed him
