The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Mongot couldn't fathom how the Fatui could possibly take the Heart of the Rock God. Even if the Rock God was truly dead, the chances were slim.

Take away the Heart of God? The immortals would be the first to object. They are not human; they don't care about diplomatic immunity, borders, or other such rules and regulations.

The wrath of an immortal is not so easy to bear.

“Short of hope, very short of hope,” Montgomery shook his head and muttered to himself.

But he quickly regained his senses and said to Ember, "Your Majesty, I will go and investigate again."

Having said that, Montgomery vanished into the night as a blur.

"So dedicated?"

As Yu Jin watched Menggete's disappearing figure, he suddenly felt immense pressure.

The throne is in danger!

Chapter 289 The Confident Young Master

2023-11-12

Since the death of the Rock King Emperor, more and more people have been eyeing the Northern Bank.

Whether it's in the open or in the shadows.

Although the Northern Bank is under the watchful eyes of countless people, this does not affect its internal security in the slightest.

The situation is not yet urgent enough to warrant breaking into the Northern Bank.

"Where is the young master? Quickly bring him here!" A disheveled figure suddenly appeared at the front desk of the Northern Bank.

A half-broken straw hat, a body covered in wounds—it was a stragglers returning from the deep mountains of Liyue.

"Lord Sanbing, Lord Young Master..."

"Whatever he's doing, call him over here!"

The soldier interrupted the receptionist abruptly, his fierce tone and murderous gaze suggesting he was about to unleash a massacre.

"Yes...yes!" The receptionist's forehead was covered in cold sweat as she nodded to the members of the Fools' Gang hidden in the shadows. Then the doors of the Northern Bank opened, and someone went out to inform the young master.

"Huff...huff!" The soldier slumped onto the sofa, panting heavily.

Have the Fools already started their operation? Why is there surveillance everywhere? If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been discovered.

"Has the young master made his move?"

"Not at the moment. Young Master instructed us not to act rashly." The receptionist shook his head.

Upon hearing this, the soldier frowned immediately. "What's going on outside? Don't tell me that the young master is too stupid and ruined the relationship between the Fatui and Liyue like this."

"The Geo Archon of Liyue passed away not long ago, and the Seven Stars are very sensitive right now," the receptionist hurriedly explained, seeing the scatterbrain's agitated expression.

"Passed away?" Upon hearing this, the soldier's irritation turned into confusion. He closed his eyes and began to sense things carefully.

"boom!"

But just as he closed his eyes, a loud crash came from afar. The one who burst through the door was none other than the young master, who was rubbing his temples.

There's no way around it; if he doesn't take it easy, he might just turn into an outstanding employee again and start giving pointers on the work of the Northern Bank.

"Scattered soldiers? Why are you in Liyue instead of Zhidong?" The young master looked at the disheveled soldiers, puzzled.

Shouldn't this arrogant guy be waiting for orders at the winter solstice? How did he end up here, and so badly injured at that?

"I don't need to explain to you. Replenish the warehouse key; I need to repair my machine." The skirmisher only glanced at the young master briefly before getting straight to the point.

"Haha, even the Sixth Seat Soldier is in such a sorry state?" The young master mocked the Soldier's still arrogant tone as he tossed a bunch of keys over.

"Your only advantage is that you're physically strong. Don't make me ruin that last advantage of yours."

The soldier took the key, his eyes slightly narrowed, looking quite gloomy.

"I couldn't ask for more." The young master shrugged. He was determined to fight all the strongmen. He never hid his fighting spirit towards his colleagues who were of higher rank than him.

Unfortunately, hardly anyone paid him any attention.

"Heh, I hope you think the same way when you fight Morax." The skirmisher just snorted a few times, seemingly finding the young master quite ridiculous.

"What do you mean by that? Morax has already passed away."

Upon hearing this, the young master stopped trying to mock the scattered soldiers. Since it concerned his duties, it was better to be more attentive.

"Use your brain and read more books." The soldier nodded his head, his tone almost dripping with sarcasm.

Before the young master could say anything, the stragglers blurted out, "Morax is one of the Seven Gods, and also a Demon God. Do you think Liyue Harbor would still be intact here if he died in Liyue?"

"Where are the remnants of the demon god?"

Seeing the young master deep in thought, the soldier shook his head. "Simple-minded. Fighting must have damaged his brain; he can't even spot such an obvious flaw."

Fortunately, the young master is very capable, otherwise this position of executive officer would not have fallen to him.

Morax isn't dead? The young master's mind nearly went blank, but the more he thought about it, the more convinced he became that it was true.

As one of the oldest of the Seven Gods, how could Morax possibly exit in such a ridiculous way?

So, what should be done next? The young master was very agitated because Morax was not dead, which meant that his plan could be declared a failure.

The young master's original plan was to intensify the conflict between the immortals and the Seven Stars, so that he could take the opportunity to find the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Body and steal the Heart of God.

A perfect plan! But now Morax has thwarted it.

The young master looked up at the outside of the Northern Bank, where the door he had kicked open was still open. Through the door, he could see a solitary island rising in the distance.

That's the seal that suppresses the demon god. Wait? The demon god's seal?

A smug smile crept across the young master's lips. He now had an even bolder plan.

"Haha, don't worry, even if Morax isn't dead, I can still take his Heart of God!"

"Young Master, the men you asked to follow you are calling for you."

"Oh, here it comes."

Watching the young master laugh heartily as he confidently walked out, the soldiers silently ventured deeper into the Northern Bank.

Because he believed that the young master would eventually come looking for him.

……

Behind the pillars of the Bubu Lu, Catherine silently watched the dwindling crowd.

As a receptionist at the Northern Bank, she was also a first-rate stalker. That's why the young master sent her to follow Ying and Zhongli.

"Your Excellency is..."

"The owner of Bubulu, Baizhu..."

Catherine listened to the conversation inside the hut, but it was just more information of little value.

However, that Mr. Zhongli's voice is really nice, and he's handsome too. Not only that, but his taste is also top-notch.

When I have a vacation, maybe I can ask him out for a meal?

As if imagining the scene of having dinner with Zhongli, Ekaterina unconsciously began to giggle.

"Oh!"

A dull thud was heard, and Ekaterina's eyes rolled back as she collapsed to the ground unconscious.

"How long have they been working overtime? Are they really treating people like animals?" Yu Jin put away the enormous club that was bigger than a person and looked at Ekaterina, who was drooling on the ground, and said indignantly.

Look, they're even drooling while they're at work! Are they just too tired?

"You're really lucky to have met such a good person like me. Get some sleep." Yu Jin sighed, then tossed her into the green belt below Bubulu.

Even a lady should respect others' privacy when she sleeps. Now it's perfect; in the greenbelt, no one can see Ekaterina, and she can finally get a good night's sleep.

"I didn't expect Mongot to be right. The Fools really did send people to follow Zhongli and the others." Yu Jin hid Ekaterina and stood in her original spot, exclaiming in amazement.

Actually, he still had some doubts about what Montgomery had said, and he came here to confirm them.

Based on what just happened, it seems that Montgomery was right?

"Could it be just a lucky break?" Yu Jin was reluctant to admit it, but he felt his throne was becoming even more precarious.

"Let's take another look." Yu Jin nodded, and then began eavesdropping.

Unfortunately, before he could even begin eavesdropping, he was met with Zhongli's gaze.

Clearly, Zhongli hadn't expected Yu Jin to come here. But after seeing Yu Jin's location, he seemed to realize something, nodded to Yu Jin, and then left Bubu Lodge.

Seeing this, Yu Jin silently withdrew his hand that had been waving hello. It seemed that Zhong Li had been very busy lately and didn't even have time to chat with him.

Not long after Zhongli left, footsteps sounded again. Yu Jin, having learned from his previous mistake, immediately moved behind the pillar.

"What an interesting bunch! I haven't laughed like this in a long time." The young master covered his forehead, seemingly unable to stop laughing at Ying and her group.

But he quickly became serious, tilting his head to one of the pillars and saying, "So, before I arrived...did you hear anything, having been lurking here all along?"

There was no sound after the pillar.

"Hmm? Ekaterina!" The young master's voice rose a few decibels.

"Stop arguing! I heard you being thrown into jail!"

A familiar figure leaped out from behind the pillar, causing the young master's vision to go black.

Chapter 290 The Young Master's Face Turned Ashen

2023-11-13

"How will you be here!"

The young master was startled by the sudden appearance of Ember. Shouldn't Ekaterina be standing here? How did she turn into Ember?

"Surrender!" Yu Jin had a good habit: he would finish the important business first before wasting time on idle talk.

When the young master saw Yu Jin charging towards him, he was not afraid at all and directly raised his twin swords to meet him.

"Damn it! You were the one who ambushed me last time..."

However, before the young master could finish his trash talk, Yu Jin delivered a straight punch to his stomach.
