Liyue, Liyue Harbor.
Under the cover of the Invisibility Domain, Li Qiuzhi and the others emerged from the Teleport Waypoint and walked to a deserted corner before revealing themselves.
Their main objective today was to find Shenhe and learn how to train their Psychic Power.
But before they had gone very far toward the Jade Chamber, a somewhat familiar voice came from the side.
"Yo, long time no see, everyone." Childe greeted Li Qiuzhi and the others with a smile.
"That Fatui guy!" Paimon warily retreated behind Lumine.
Lumine held a loosely clenched fist against her waist, also looking at this man called Childe in slight surprise.
"Hey, hey, there's no need to be so wary, is there? Aren't we friends already?"
Tartaglia waved his hands and spoke somewhat helplessly.
"I wouldn't call us friends yet. If you're here to ask for that talisman back, we can return it."
Sunlight brushed over Lumine's legs, clad in over-the-knee boots beneath her skirt, as she shifted her posture and folded her hands over her upper abdomen.
Having met Shenhe, they had successfully met an adeptus without using that Sigil of Permission.
"There's no rush. So you managed to meet an adeptus, then? How did it go? Did you get any answers?"
Tartaglia spoke without appearing surprised.
After all, with a Sigil of Permission in hand, surely they would at least have managed to meet an adeptus.
"Once the adeptus learned that Rex Lapis had passed away, she sent us back. We didn't get a chance to ask her anything."
Lumine shook her head and spoke with some regret.
She had indeed intended to follow this Fatui Harbinger's earlier suggestion and ask the adeptus whether she knew anything about the god who had taken her brother, but now that would have to wait
