Because Ella's Achilles' heel is Su Hao, she will not let anyone who dares to touch Su Hao get away with it.
Su Hao seemed very easygoing. He believed that whatever the matter, he would discuss it if possible, and if not, he would settle things with his fists.
Whether it was the stragglers or the lady, Su Hao didn't intend to make a big deal out of it. He only retaliated passively because the other party took the initiative to come to him.
But the situation is different now. The other party didn't come to him on their own initiative; instead, they gave him a friendly "reminder."
He only wants the [Ella Individual]; he has no interest in Ella herself.
Perhaps the Doctor already knew that Ella was still alive when he was in Inazuma, but for some reason, he did not interfere.
Now, when faced with Su Hao's question, the Doctor only wants the [Ayla Individual], not the Ayla body itself.
Su Hao and the doctor have now formed a grudge. If they meet in the wild again, they will probably fight.
This is why, without waiting for Su Hao to say anything, the doctor simply pushed open the door and left, which meant... there was no point in talking anymore.
"Let's eat." Su Hao quickly composed himself and looked at Jiu Qiren, saying, "Since it's the Fools who are paying, let's finish this meal first, and then go to Guiyan Pavilion and Qunyu Pavilion."
"Let's see how well they're collecting materials and how well the items from the ancient rock dragon lizard are selling."
Regardless of what kind of battle he would have with the Doctor next, Su Hao decided to eat first. Anyway, this meal wasn't cheap, and the Doctor didn't eat a single dish, which benefited Su Hao and Hisaki Shinobu.
Hisagi Shinobu and Su Hao didn't stand on ceremony and started eating the food.
Meanwhile, the Doctor returned to the Northern Bank, where D'Artagnan had been waiting for a long time.
"how?"
D'Artagnan took a sip of tea and looked at the Doctor's return. He smiled and said, "It's rare that you haven't caused any trouble. I was just about to cut ties with you."
Yes, Tartaglia was very surprised that the Doctor hadn't caused any trouble, even though she had reported the matter to the Liyue General Affairs Department.
If the Doctor causes any trouble in Liyue, it has nothing to do with the Fatui, since the Doctor is the second executor of the Fatui.
If he does something really wrong, there's nothing he can do, especially since he had already reported it in advance.
The Liyue official team will give him some face, more or less.
"Hehehe." The professor was well aware of the young master's little tricks. He sneered and said, "Don't worry, the Summoning Ceremony is about to begin. Even I won't do anything."
"The Geo Archon Morax is not so easy to deal with. You should just wait for the Empress's orders in Liyue."
While the Doctor is indeed arrogant, and he has the right to be, he is also well aware that he cannot run wild on Liyue's territory. If he dares to do so, Morax will definitely not let him off the hook.
However, things are difficult for the young master. Liyue is the most difficult place to deal with. Even the Empress will set her sights on this place and begin to secretly sign a contract with the Geo Archon.
Whether or not the Heart of God can be obtained from the Geo God depends entirely on the Geo God's personal will; among the seven gods, the Geo God is the most troublesome.
Sending Tartaglia to such an important place as Liyue, in a sense, is not because we value her abilities, but because we want her to be our delivery person.
After the Queen and Morax reached an agreement, the young master was responsible for taking Morax's Heart of God away. The Doctor knew all of this, but he just wouldn't say it.
"Hmph, you can rest assured about that." D'Artagnan naturally didn't have a very friendly attitude towards the Doctor, after all, the Doctor hadn't caused any trouble.
But the arrival of the other party, in a sense, disrupted his plans.
On the one hand, this worsened the Liyue official's impression of the Fatui.
On the other hand, he had gone to great lengths to win over Su Hao, which meant that Su Hao owed him a favor.
Today, the professor spoke with Su Hao, and I didn't go over, which means I've maintained a neutral stance.
D'Artagnan was still quite worried that Su Hao would lose all of his good impression of her because of the Doctor.
Some of his next plans require Su Hao to act as a go-between to Seven Stars so that the Fools can get involved.
It's a bit frustrating, really. The Fatui are supposed to be Liyue's partners, but now, due to various events, Liyue is filled with suspicion towards them.
If Su Hao hadn't appeared, D'Artagnan wouldn't have known who to ask to connect with Seven Stars.
"And," the Doctor said calmly, looking at Tartaglia, "if nothing unexpected happens, that guy who caused chaos in Winter, killed a lot of soldiers, and was injured and repelled by Arecino, will find a way to come to Liyue, since her body is here."
D'Artagnan frowned slightly and looked at the Doctor, asking, "What did you do?"
Arecino, one of the Fatui's executives, codenamed "Servant".
She was no ordinary person. D'Artagnan hated her. After all, if betrayal brought her benefits, she would not hesitate to draw her sword against the Queen. Her eyes were filled with madness.
That guy who caused chaos in the Winter Kingdom was a test subject of the Doctor.
Tartaglia was fighting in the Abyss. After he emerged and became the last of the Fatui Enforcers, he was sent to Liyue.
Therefore, he only had a general understanding of the matter. As for who that person was and what their specific identity was, he only had a vague idea. He only knew that the other person was someone who had been brought back from Liyue by the Doctor.
Putting everything else aside, the servants and the Doctor, among the Fools' Executors, seemed quite concerned about this guy who had gone berserk and killed the Winter Soldiers.
If that guy comes here, even the servants might come to Liyue, which is giving Tartaglia a huge headache.
There was nothing he could do. As an executive officer with a higher rank than himself, D'Artagnan genuinely didn't want to deal with them. After all, he had a mission to complete, and he didn't want these reckless individuals causing trouble in his jurisdiction.
"I didn't do anything." In response to Tartaglia's question, the Doctor chuckled, "It's just that [guy] wanted to find what he had lost, so he returned to this Liyue homeland."
"I came here to tell you that that [guy] will come after Su Hao. Her body is right next to Su Hao; she is the maid who stays by his side."
"To be honest, I was also surprised to find out she wasn't dead, but it doesn't matter now. If you encounter that 'guy,' remember to bring her back. I'm also very curious about what changes have occurred to her."
Having said that, the Doctor said no more and prepared to leave the Northern Bank, as if he had come simply to tell D'Artagnan to help him capture the guy who had escaped from Winter Country.
D'Artagnan did not stop him. He frowned slightly, watching the Doctor's departing figure, and asked, "Are you going back to Sumeru or Winter?"
"Who knows?" the doctor's nonchalant voice came from outside.
This made Tartaglia's expression even more unpleasant, because the Doctor's words meant that he would probably have to stay in Liyue for a while.
The fact that the other party didn't consult me about anything clearly indicates that they have their own plans. Someone like the Doctor is a variable for me in Liyue.
"Young Master, what should we do now?"
The Fools, of course, knew that the Doctor wasn't planning to leave, and they showed some embarrassment at that moment.
After all, they have a mission to complete, and they can't just let the Doctor do whatever he wants.
If it were just the Doctor staying for a few days, then there wouldn't be any problem. But now it's clear that the Doctor has his own ideas.
Furthermore, the Doctor's people will arrive in a few days, at which point the Fatui members in Liyue will likely have two different opinions.
This is a major taboo, just like on Inazuma's side. After Sanbing took over Inazuma's affairs, he had just been severely injured and lost one arm and one leg.
The lady had just returned from her journey to Mondstadt when she attacked Su Hao, only to be severely wounded by General Thunder.
The doctor has now also gone to Inazuma. During that time, the three executives were in Inazuma, issuing different orders.
This gave the Fools on Inazuma's side a real headache. Fortunately, the Lady went to Mondstadt, the Doctor returned to Winter, and the Scatterers remained in Inazuma.
At this moment, the fools inside the Northern Bank felt utterly disheartened.
It seems the Doctor is planning to stay in Liyue permanently. It's said that the upcoming "being" might even attract the servant here.
If the three executives issue different orders together, they don't have that many people on their side.
"I will report it."
Knowing his subordinates' concerns, D'Artagnan decided to take the initiative and report the doctor's unethical behavior.
Let those "doctors" and Her Majesty the Queen see what this guy is up to.
“But now…” D'Artagnan stroked his chin, looking in the direction the Doctor had left, and said coldly, “I hope this guy doesn’t go too far, otherwise a mere slice is nothing in the face of Her Majesty the Queen’s will.”
D'Artagnan's words startled the fools around him.
Young Master's words clearly indicate that he intends to kill. Although infighting is prohibited among the Fools' Enforcers, one thing is very clear.
That is, if an executive officer goes against the Queen's will, then other executive officers are qualified to eliminate that person on the Queen's behalf.
If it were any other executor, D'Artagnan wouldn't dare to do this. Whether he could win or not was another matter. They were all executors, and unless the Queen officially issued an order, he wouldn't act rashly.
But the Doctor is different. The other party is just a slice, not the Doctor's main body. It can only be considered a part of the Doctor's body.
If the other party truly takes her seriously, begins to disregard the Empress's will, and interferes with her actions in Liyue, then Tartaglia is truly capable of killing.
Su Hao and the others were unaware of what was happening at the Northern Bank, because after finishing their meal at Xinyuexuan, they went directly to Guiyan Pavilion.
About four days have passed since the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard Scale Armor was given to the shopkeeper's daughter, and she should have almost finished collecting the materials by now.
Upon arriving at Guiyan Pavilion, the place became slightly more lively, with merchants dressed in fine clothes and accompanied by servants frequently entering and exiting the pavilion.
They went inside and discussed something with the shopkeeper's daughter. Some of the businessmen left satisfied, while others looked regretful.
"Oh?" At this moment, the shopkeeper's daughter, who was discussing something with other merchants, saw Su Hao and Hisagi Shinobu enter the shop.
The shop manager's daughter ignored the merchants beside her and went straight to the two of them.
"You two have arrived?" The shop manager's daughter was clearly delighted to see Su Hao and Jiu Qiren. She beckoned to the waiter beside her and said, "Please take these two distinguished guests to their private room and serve them tea and snacks."
As she said this, the shopkeeper's daughter looked at Su Hao and Jiuqi Ren with some curiosity and asked, "Where's that maid? Didn't she come today?"
The shop manager's daughter was puzzled; the maid who always followed Su Hao was nowhere to be seen today.
Seeing that the other party did not appear, the shop manager's daughter felt a little disappointed, not because she was a woman, but because she remembered what Su Hao had said.
He wanted to forge a piece of armor for Ella, and the shopkeeper's daughter was quite interested in this, otherwise she wouldn't have personally delivered the materials to Hisaki Shinobu.
Although the store manager's daughter was also puzzled that day, wondering why Jiuqi Ren had come out of the house when it belonged to Su Hao?
At the time, the store manager's daughter imagined many things, but she didn't say anything on the surface. She just handed the materials to Jiuqi Ren and asked her to pass them on to Su Hao.
“He didn’t come. As for why, I’ll tell you later.” Su Hao glanced at the Liyue merchants behind the shopkeeper’s daughter.
With so many people around, Su Hao decided not to reveal Ella's current situation yet. If the shop was as usual, with only the shop manager's daughter there and no other staff, then...
Su Hao trusted the shopkeeper's daughter more and was able to tell her about Ella's apprenticeship to Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun.
If the other party has no conflict of interest with me, and if the other party is not tight-lipped...
The order Su Hao gave her a second ago will probably appear on the Fools' intelligence table the next day.
At that time, D'Artagnan's idea was to use all sorts of rare minerals to win him over.
However, trusting the shopkeeper's daughter is different from trusting the Liyue merchant behind her.
“Alright.” The shopkeeper’s daughter glanced at the Liyue merchants behind her and nodded slightly. Knowing that this was not the place to talk, she chuckled and said, “You should go to the private room first.”
"Once I'm done with things here, I'll come find you. I've already collected most of the materials, and I'll send them to you all at once."
Su Hao and Jiu Qiren nodded without saying anything more, and followed the waiter into the private room, quietly waiting for the manager's daughter to arrive.
