"Wait, where's my purse?"

Ah Xing's heart skipped a beat. She realized her pockets were empty; the purse she had put in her pocket was nowhere to be found.

"Could it be that it accidentally fell on the way here?"

Hisaki Shinobu also tensed up and voiced his guess.

Ah Xing shook her head: "No, my pocket is big, nothing will fall out."

"Our purse must have been stolen."

Ah Xing never expected that she would lose her purse on her very first day in Liyue.

The key point is that she didn't even know when the theft happened, which shows that the thief was very skilled.

On the surface, Liyue Harbor appears bustling, magnificent, and grand, but there is also filth hidden in the darkness.

Hisaki remained silent, head bowed, looking utterly dejected.

The two sisters are now hungry, and to make matters worse, their purse has been stolen. It's truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly.

"Sister, shall we go find Brother Fang Xun?"

Hisaki tilted his head and thought for a moment, then quickly came up with an idea.

"I think if it were Brother Fang Xun, he would definitely help us!"

"That's not appropriate." The older sister, Ah Xing, thought for a moment, then gently shook her head.

"We are not very familiar with Mr. Fang Xun, and it would be presumptuous of us to suddenly cause him trouble."

"What should I do?"

"Let's go find Master Yachō."

Ah-Xing shared her decision.

"As far as I know, Lord Yaejiro is currently on vacation in Liyue,"

"I have a pretty good relationship with Madam Yae, and I think she will help us."

Having set their sights on a target, the two sisters immediately decided to set off to find out about Yae no Miko.

"Sister, what kind of person is Yae no Naka de?" Hisa Shinobu asked curiously.

Before Hisaki Shinobu became an apprentice shrine maiden, Yae no Miko had already left Narukami Taisha.

Even so, the topic of conversation among everyone is still Yae no Miko.

The feeling is probably like, 'Although she's no longer in the martial arts world, her legend lives on.'

This also made Hisaki Shinobu curious about Yae no Miko.

What kind of person is Yae no Miko?

"Ms. Yachong, she is a very wise and reliable person."

Ayumi slowed down and answered Hisaki Shinobu's question gently.

"During her tenure, everything at Narukami Taisha was arranged in an orderly and meticulous manner."

"She always manages to solve problems that we find difficult with ease."

“If we take Go as an example, when you make your first move, Yaehiro is already thinking about the tenth move, or even a more profound part of the game.”

Hisaru was astonished: "Yazo-sama is amazing."

"That's natural, Yae no Nagare is the object of worship for all the priestesses,"

"If I had to point out a flaw, it would be that Madam Yae is too serious in her daily life, and we don't dare to joke around in front of her."

Just as the two were talking, Yae no Miko entered the Manmin Hall, and Fang Xun stood beside her.

"Mr. Fang Xun, it's either yes or no. What do you mean by taking a break?"

Hearing Yae no Miko's dissatisfaction, Fang Xun helplessly spread his hands: "Miko, writing a book really requires inspiration. It's not something you can just start writing on a whim."

"Besides, I just finished writing my third novel. What's wrong with taking a break before writing my fourth?"

"As you know, the limit for a person is two thousand words."

Chapter 464 Holding Back His Confidence Isn't in His Nature

"So, you got your wallets stolen as soon as you arrived in Liyue, and now you don't have a single penny on you?"

At Wanmintang, Fang Xun and his group learned the whole story from Ah Xing.

The older sister sent her younger sister to Liyue for an academic exchange, but they encountered trouble on the very first day, which was somewhat unlucky.

"To send Shinobu to Liyue for her studies, my sister sold her jewelry to raise money, but I never expected something like this to happen..."

Hisaki lowered his head and said dejectedly.

The older sister, Ah Xing, also looked worried. She didn't have a single penny on her. What would happen to her younger sister's studies abroad?

She had intended to ask Yae no Miko for help, but since Yae no Miko was with Fang Xun, she felt too embarrassed to ask.

"Don't worry, you will definitely get your money back."

Seeing the sullen and unhappy Kuki Shinobu, Fang Xun gently comforted him.

"Brother Fang Xun, do you have a way?" Jiuqi Ren seemed to see hope, and his dim eyes gradually brightened.

"We can ask the Treasure-Stealing Weasel to help us find the money bag," Fang Xun replied.

When it comes to finding gold and silver treasures, the treasure-hunting weasel is definitely an expert.

Fang Xun's golden treasure-stealing weasel is extremely intelligent. Every day without fail, it finds an Entangling Fate, so helping Ah Xing find her money bag is a piece of cake.

At this moment, the treasure-stealing weasel was fast asleep, perched on Qiqi's hat.

With Qiqi feeding it, the treasure-stealing weasel grew stronger day by day.

From being skin and bones at the beginning, it has now become a fluffy, round ball of fur.

Even when it turns into a round, plump ball, the treasure-stealing weasel remains incredibly agile; it can disappear in the blink of an eye.

Wendy often jokes that she is a 'flexible fat ball'.

Fang Xun casually nudged the treasure-stealing weasel: "Little guy, wake up and get to work."

"Find the purse, extra food tonight."

The treasure-stealing weasel, who had just been woken up, was still groggy, but upon hearing the words "extra meal," it immediately began its work.

It first crawled into Ah Xing's pocket, carefully sniffed the purse, and then quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

A-Xing and Jiu-Qi-Shinobu looked at each other, wondering if such a fluffy pet could really find the money bag.

However, judging from Fang Xun's confident demeanor, he seemed to have great confidence in the Treasure-Stealing Weasel's abilities.

Before long, the treasure-stealing weasel reappeared in everyone's sight.

It carried a round, bulging, hand-sewn purple money bag on its back.

"That's my sister's purse!"

Hisagi Shinobu recognized Ayumi's money pouch at a glance and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Ah Xing also looked incredulous; she had already given up hope of finding her purse.

Finding the purse in the vast Liyue is like finding a needle in a haystack; it's practically impossible.

Unexpectedly, the treasure-stealing weasel simply sniffed the scent inside her pocket and easily retrieved her purse.

If Ah Xing hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she really wouldn't have believed it.

"Ah Xing, check if any money is missing from your purse."

At this moment, Fang Xun handed over the money bag.

Ah Xing shook her head and said, "I've counted it, and the amount in the money bag hasn't changed."

"The thief probably didn't have time to spend the money before the treasure-stealing weasel found the money bag in time."

"Thank you, Treasure-Stealing Weasel. Thank you, Mr. Fang Xun."

Ah-Xing was filled with gratitude upon receiving her lost purse.

The gloom in Jiuqi Ren's heart was also swept away. Fortunately, she had Fang Xun's help, otherwise she and her sister would have been homeless.

"Don't thank me yet, there's something I'd like to ask you for help with."

"help?"

Ah-Xing and Jiu-Qi-Ren exchanged a glance, both sisters completely bewildered.

“Yes,” Fang Xun nodded.

"As you can see, Liyue Harbor has been somewhat unsettled lately, and many thieves are taking advantage of the chaos to steal money,"

"Therefore, I would like to ask you to cooperate with me so that those people can receive the punishment they deserve."

Actually, matters like catching thieves should be handled by Qianyan Army.

Fang Xun decided to take action because those people had stolen from his people, and it wasn't in his nature to remain silent.

"Yes, yes, Brother Fang Xun, we're willing to help!" Jiuqi Ren said without hesitation.

When she used to read Yaedo's light novels, she loved the kind of chivalrous heroes who upheld justice and punished evil.

Hisaki Shinobu even fantasized about becoming a great swordsman one day.

Now that the opportunity is right in front of her, she naturally doesn't want to miss it.

Seeing that Hisagi had agreed, Ayumi had no reason to refuse.

"I want to help, too."

At this moment, Gan Yu tugged at Fang Xun's sleeve and said with a serious expression.

As the secretary of the Liyue Seven Stars, she has a responsibility to maintain order in Liyue and naturally cannot stand idly by.

"The three of us—Ah Xing, Ah Ren, and I—are enough. You take the little girls back first."

Fang Xun was worried that if Gan Yu showed up, Yue Haiting would make her work overtime endlessly, so he simply sent Gan Yu home first.
