In Teyvat, it all begins with rescuing the grass god.

The excited D'Artagnan showed no signs of stopping, clearing one mechanism after another.

The men of the Ninth Company were exhausted.

He also ordered them to go and rest, and forbade them from following him.

Although the soldiers of the Ninth Company were not very willing to obey such orders, under D'Artagnan's forceful command, they still obediently came to the entrance and sat down near Rhodes and the others with wary expressions.

The one in the lead, who was clearly the company commander, kept staring at Ye Lan's face, as if trying to match her with a figure from his memory.

"Speak."

Seeing the hostile reaction of the Fools soldiers, Rhodes calmly asked Yelan a question: "Did you deliberately let them discover you before?"

"Ok?"

"You know this too?"

As she spoke, Ye Lan, whose words and actions contradicted each other, gave the soldiers of the Ninth Company a relaxed smile, as if she couldn't see their hostility at all.

“I’ve found several of the Fools’ journals, and they all mention that someone is following us.”

"One of the logs clearly states that the stalker is a woman."

Rhodes said confidently, "With your skills, you fooled D'Artagnan from the very beginning. How could these Fools' soldiers have discovered you so clearly?"

"Ah--"

Yelan smiled and did not deny Rod's words.

Because Rod was right, she had indeed deliberately revealed her whereabouts to the Ninth Company before.

The reason.

It's also very simple.

It was simply to create a little panic, so that these foolish soldiers wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

Due to the special nature of my work.

Yelan had dealt with the Fools quite a bit.

Countless Fools' agents have died at her hands, and even the Enforcer has fought with her.

Therefore, from a subjective perspective...

Ye Lan didn't trust the Ninth Company at all.

Even though the Ninth Company has not done anything that could harm Liyue since entering the Lava Abyss.

But due to distrust of the Fools.

Furthermore, the Laminariat is like the lifeblood of Liyue, and absolutely no mistakes can be tolerated.

Therefore, she would occasionally deliberately reveal her whereabouts to make these soldiers realize that they were being monitored by the Liyue people, causing panic and preventing them from openly committing any acts of sabotage.

"Don't blame me for not warning you."

"Once you enter the sealed land, no matter what D'Artagnan says or does, do not argue with him."

"It's too dangerous there. If we start fighting amongst ourselves again, we might all get caught up in it."

Rhodes didn't use Zhongli as a pretext; he simply reminded Yelan about it beforehand.

"You should say that to the executor of the Fools."

Ye Lan said with a hint of sarcasm, "An arrogant, willful, and reckless fellow is far more dangerous than me."

Ye Lan didn't really care that outsiders were following her to explore the sealed land of the immortals and the heroic spirits of the Thousand Rock Army.

However, one of the people accompanying him was from the Fools.

She didn't seem so happy.

Rhodes noticed this, which is why he came to remind Yelan.

"I will definitely tell him."

Rhodes scoffed, "I hope you two can really get along as peacefully as you say. I don't want to waste my precious energy in that ruin resolving your conflict."

"Hmph, I hope so."

Chapter 233 Everyone has their own thoughts

D'Artagnan moved very quickly.

In terms of efficiency in dismantling the restraining mechanisms, he was even faster than the Ninth Company, which was like a burden to them.

He had already dismantled the last mechanism and would soon be able to break free of the Ice Nail's restraints.

Rhodes stopped chatting with Night Orchid at the entrance.

After giving Yelan a brief instruction, he called Xiao, and the two of them rushed together to the location that Dadalia had seen.

"Hey, friend."

"I'll be done soon, don't worry."

D'Artagnan, who was working hard and sweating profusely, saw Rhodes coming over. He kept working and laughing loudly.

They said there was no rush.

But he seemed more anxious and excited than anyone else.

Fighting against a powerful enemy.

This is Datalia's greatest hobby.

Being able to fight against a remnant soul at the level of an immortal was more important to him than anything else.

"Please stop for a moment."

"Xiao has something to tell you."

Rod pointed at Xiao.

"Ok?"

"You have something to say to me? Are you ready to fight me?"

D'Artagnan became more and more excited as he spoke.

When he first saw Xiao, even though he didn't know that Xiao was a celestial being, he could tell that Xiao's strength was extraordinary.

Unfortunately.

Xiao refused his invitation to spar.

Now that Rhodes said Xiao had something to say to him, Tartaglia naturally took it as Xiao being prepared to accept an invitation to have a thrilling battle with him.

"Thinking too much."

Rhodes rolled his eyes at him and, in a rather annoyed tone, reiterated the precautions for entering the sealed area.

He then emphasized the key point: "You want to fight Fushe's remnant soul, right? You need to understand Fushe's strength first and have a very accurate impression of him. Only then, with the help of the wishing stone, can you meet Fushe in the special space of the sealed land."

"It's so troublesome."

D'Artagnan's previously excited face immediately fell.

In his original understanding...

Once you enter the sealed area, you'll encounter the remnant soul of an immortal, and you can have a good fight with him.

Unexpectedly, he had to first conceive of a whole host of troublesome things in his mind, such as Fu She's combat skills, strength, and appearance, before he could fight against the remnant soul of the immortal.

This was undoubtedly a difficult task for D'Artagnan, who always preferred to solve problems with simple and direct methods.

"no way."

"That space is very strange. It can only reproduce what you think. The real remnant soul of the floating house has probably been worn away by the passage of five hundred years."

Having said that, Rhodes left the time and space to Xiao and Tartaglia.

Make sure Xiao tells Dadalia about Fushe's deeds, especially his combat skills and abilities, and explains them clearly.

"Are you really planning to have him fight the remnant soul of Grand Marshal Tengshe?"

Night Orchid's voice quietly rang in Rhodes's ear.

"Ugh--"

“I’m messaging you, not so you can eavesdrop on me.”

"If this happens again, I'm going to flip the shop."

Rhodes dislikes feeling watched, even unintentionally.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Ye Lan's apology came quickly, and then she repeated the question from before: "Are you sure that the executor of the Fools could successfully materialize the remnant soul of Marshal Tengshe based solely on the description of the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons?"

This is a very practical question.

Not only did Yelan think it was unlikely, but even D'Artagnan himself dared not guarantee it.

Rhodes, of course, dared not make any guarantees.

"Who told you I asked him to actually go find the remnant soul of Fushe?"

Rhodes chuckled and said, "You really think I specifically invited him here so that he would fight Fushe?"

"."

After a long silence, Ye Lan finally replied, "That's exactly what I think."

"Looks like my skills in conning people have improved."

Rhodes smiled and said, "You just need to know that I said that to D'Artagnan on purpose. You don't need to worry about anything else."

"Can you guarantee his safety?"

"I mean."

"Is he out of danger?"
