Genshin Impact: Ningguang is still a pitiful little thing, I invested in her.

For Fang Xun, having more family members to eat with was no big deal.

As long as the Great Golden Treasure Weasel can bring back an Entangled Bond from time to time, it will definitely be worth it.

"The Great Golden Treasure Weasel's talent 'Even Thieves Have Their Code' is currently at level 1."

"Would you like to consume one Entangled Bond to upgrade the talent 'Even Thieves Have Their Code' to level 15?"

"Note: Once the Great Golden Treasure Weasel's talent reaches level 15, it will go out every day to find an Entangled Bond for its host."

At that moment, a system notification sounded in Fang Xun's mind.

Fang Xun paused for a moment, then without hesitation chose to consume one Entangled Bond to enhance the Great Golden Treasure Weasel's talent.

Chapter 452 Don't Come Looking for Me

"Wow, what a huge door! It's as tall as the Anemo Statue in Mondstadt!"

As Paimon walked, he stopped in his tracks.

She pointed to the iron gate directly in front of her and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

It's hard to imagine that this technology originated from 500 years ago. Standing in front of the huge iron gate, humanity feels so small and insignificant.

Ying quietly observed the iron gate in front of her, and the scene awakened some unknown fragments of memory.

People fleeing in all directions, a country rapidly collapsing and being destroyed.

The raging flames seemed poised to engulf the entire world...

Even though they were in the silent ruins, all they could hear were wails and screams.

This ancient ruin, largely untouched by visitors, tells its story in its own way.

"Ying, are you okay?"

At this moment, Fang Xun gently patted Ying's shoulder and asked softly.

He noticed that Ying's expression was strange, so he took a look at her.

Ying gently shook her head and focused her gaze on the iron gate.

"This is the end of my journey. Perhaps I will find the answer to the question that has been bothering me for so long."

Thinking this, Ying pressed the switch to start the door.

With a click, countless intricate mechanical parts began to operate, breaking the silence of the ruins.

Immediately afterwards, the heavy iron door lit up with a golden glow.

With a deafening roar, the iron gate slowly opened on both sides.

The ruins of Kanria, which had been sealed for many years, have now been reopened.

Ying rushed in first, followed closely by Paimon and Fang Xun, with Wendy bringing up the rear.

Wendy is always unhurried and relaxed when it comes to anything unrelated to alcohol.

"Wow, so many ruin guardians!"

Seeing the scene before him, Paimon couldn't help but shout.

What comes into view are countless guardians of the ruins, lined up in orderly rows, filling the entire hall.

Looking at the mountains of ruins guarding the site, it was an indescribably awe-inspiring sight.

I'm afraid that even if all the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt were combined, they wouldn't have as many Ruins Guards as there are here!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a production base guarded by the ruins.

Paimon yelled and immediately covered his mouth, fearing that the guardians of the ruins would be awakened at the same time, which would kill all four of them.

"Don't worry, the energy cores guarded by these ruins have all been taken."

"In other words, no matter how loudly you shout, you won't wake them up."

Fang Xun inspected several ruins guards in succession and finally gave his conclusion.

"I was so scared, I almost thought I had caused a huge disaster, thankfully I'm alright."

Upon hearing Fang Xun's words, Paimon immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"But speaking of which, who took away the energy devices guarding these ruins?"

Paimon crossed his arms, looking utterly bewildered.

"It took us a lot of effort to get into the ruins, so the people who were able to transport away so many energy devices must have been familiar with the original owner of this place."

Fang Xun walked and stopped, checking the situation as he went, while answering Paimon's questions.

Paimon blinked, then suddenly realized and said, "You mean the Kanria took these energy devices? But why would they do that?"

"To modify the demon god," Fang Xun said bluntly.

"The Kanriyans want to modify the Demon God and then use the Demon God to break the current peace and stability."

After saying that, Ying and Paimon exchanged a glance.

They found Fang Xun's deduction incredible, but upon closer examination, it was indeed possible.

"Mr. Fang Xun, what you said makes a lot of sense. So, who do you think Kanria's target is?"

Wendy, who usually slacked off, became interested in Fang Xun's words and casually asked him a question.

"If I were a Kanri, I would set my sights on the Stormterror."

Fang Xun paused for a moment, then continued.

"After all, this is underground in the Wind Dragon Ruins, and the Stormterror lives in the Wind Dragon Ruins. It's relatively easier to operate from such a close distance."

"Of course, there's also the most important point,"

"With the Wind Dragon Ruins destroyed and the Wind God being unreliable, Wind Demon Dragon is easily targeted by others."

Fang Xun stopped there, because he had said everything he needed to say, and he believed Wendy would understand the rest.

Wendy didn't speak, and looked thoughtful.

"Look, there looks like a sword over there!"

At that moment, Paimon made a new discovery and shouted loudly.

In the very center of the main hall, a single-handed sword stood silently, motionless.

"This sword looks exactly like the bladeless sword that Ying uses,"

"Is it possible that Ying's brother came here once and left the sword behind?"

Paimon shared his guess.

The moment Ying saw the sword, she froze on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, the missing parts of her past quickly surfaced in her mind.

“I remember now, I was here before the fall of Kanria.”

Ying suddenly spoke up.

In her memory, her brother stood here with a solemn expression, surrounded by the mournful tolling of funeral bells.

Immediately afterwards, her brother raised his blunt sword high and stood abruptly in the center of the hall.

That was a seed of revenge, and a determination to never give up until the goal was achieved.

"Ying, if you ever return here, take the Sword Without Edge and leave, and... don't come looking for me."

This was the last thing the older brother said to Ying.

"Huh? Ying came here five hundred years ago? What did you see back then?" Paimon asked in surprise.

Soon, Ying described the scene from her memory.

"There are many things I can't remember right now, but if I think about them carefully, I'm sure I'll be able to recall them."

"Yes, it's only a matter of time. I'm sure you'll remember!" Paimon nodded, offering words of comfort.

Ying turned her gaze back to the Unsharp Sword, recalling her brother's instructions: 'Take the Unsharp Sword and leave; don't look for him.'

"Why not look for him?" Ying asked, puzzled, but still picked up the bladeless sword from the ground.

With a loud thud, a precious treasure chest appeared in everyone's sight.

That's what Kong left for Ying.

Fang Xun didn't check the contents of the treasure chest; only Ying read it herself and then silently closed the chest.

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained three Entangled Bonds!"

At that moment, a system notification sounded in Fang Xun's mind.

This trip was worthwhile; we obtained the Great Golden Treasure Weasel and three Entangling Sources.

"Let's go back."

Ying carefully sheathed the bladeless sword and then addressed the three of them.

"Yay! Paimon's stomach has been growling for ages! I'm going to eat tons and tons of chicken drumsticks tonight!"

Paimon was overjoyed and danced with delight.

After the four people left, the ruins fell silent once more.

At this moment, a void rift slowly opened, and an Abyss Apostle emerged from it.

"Your Highness..."

Hearing footsteps behind him, the Abyss Apostle made way for him, then knelt on the ground, his tone extremely respectful.

"Ying, it's been a long time." Watching Ying's departing figure, her brother Kong said softly.

Only when facing his younger sister does Sora show his unparalleled tenderness and affection.

Immediately afterwards, Kong turned his gaze to Fang Xun.

Who is that person? Why are they so close to my sister?

Also, how did he know about the Abyss Order's plans?
