When the time is right, I will naturally find out who he is.

“Senior, you mean…” Tina Li smiled quite happily, because these words were enough to confirm that Senior Falushan was going to assist them.

The assistance from Senior Falushan is different from that from other Senior Sumeru. She is a legendary figure from a hundred years ago and has great prestige within the Academy today.

Even wise men dare not command her, and great sages give her a wide berth in matters of knowledge.

"Yes, that's right, I'm willing to help you."

Farussan made a helpless gesture, as if making this decision went against her principles.

But soon, Farusan looked at Tinari and Su Hao's group with great interest and asked, "Since I've agreed to help you, why don't you tell me about your general plan?"

"To be honest, I won't ask too many questions about the infiltration of Sumeru City, nor about your identities. I just want to know what you want me to do and what your ultimate goal is."

They infiltrated Sumeru City, revealed their identities, and explained what they were up to, but Farusian wasn't particularly interested in that, because it wasn't the point.

The real point is, what is their ultimate goal?

This is something Faroshan needs to know.

"Save the Grass God".

Su Hao spoke up, looking at Farusan calmly and saying, "Furthermore, she has been imprisoned for five hundred years, and the Church Council has forgotten its former glory."

"And those who call themselves sages have forgotten who bestowed the name of sage upon them."

Upon hearing this, Farusan frowned slightly, then nodded silently.

"Cough cough cough."

At this moment, Tinari coughed again. He looked at Cole beside him and said, "Cole, why don't you take Senior Farusan for a walk?"

"She came to Huachengguo because she had other things to do."

Originally, Farussan wanted to say that she had nothing to do, but when she heard that Cole was taking her shopping, she was no longer sleepy.

Ke Lai was her favorite disciple. If she could make Ke Lai her disciple, she would be overjoyed.

Oh, right, the Sumeru people don't dream.

“Yes, Master.” Cole nodded. She naturally wouldn’t object to Tinari, because he was her most respected master.

"Come on, let's go for a walk!" Farusan was beaming with joy and seemed exceptionally excited. She took Cole's hand and headed outside.

Cole was a little flustered for a moment because Senior Falushan was a bit too enthusiastic.

Although she was just as enthusiastic when she was with senior Farusan before, Cole still couldn't quite handle it.

Hmm... if the enthusiastic person is Amber, then Cory can handle it.

After Farusan and Cole left, the door was closed again by Hisaki Shinobu, and Shin-haku skillfully set up a barrier.

"Cough cough cough."

Tina coughed a few more times, then looked at Su Hao and said, "With Senior Farusan here, there's basically nothing to worry about in Sumeru City. However, this time, on our trip to Sumeru City, I..."

"You wait."

But at this moment, Su Hao interrupted Tina Li, his hand flashing with emerald light, and asked, "You're sick, what happened?"

As he said this, Su Hao channeled the emerald green light into Tina's body, but the other's complexion only became rosy for a moment before he returned to his weak state.

"Perhaps it's just a cold." Tinari didn't care, because he wasn't a god, and it was normal for him to get sick and catch a cold.

Although the energy Su Hao just injected felt very comfortable, elemental power is not omnipotent.

"If it were just a cold, I would have cured it long ago. You've caught it."

Su Hao withdrew his hand. Looking at Tina's weak appearance, he seemed to have thought of something and continued, "Did you catch the [Wind Cold] in Sumeru City?"

Tina frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Yes, I stayed in Sumeru City for one night before visiting you, senior."

"That night, I felt a bit hot, so I didn't close the window. It was quite cold that night, so it's normal to catch a cold."

Tina is only a little weak and has no other serious problems, so he doesn't take it to heart.

But now that Su Hao said that, Tina suddenly felt something was wrong.

He slept in the wild every day on his way to Sumeru City without catching a cold, so how come he caught a cold that very night after arriving in Sumeru City?

It's unreasonable, extremely unreasonable.

But Tinari didn't know who had targeted him, or rather... who would be so bored as to target him.

The person who could attack him silently must be someone of terrifying strength.

Because despite Tinari's amiable and easygoing demeanor, which might make him seem like an insignificant fighter, he is a forest ranger, and his strength is far greater than one might imagine.

Ordinary people have no way to deal with him, and even those who are stronger than him and want to deal with him secretly will not be able to do so easily.

Unless someone possesses strength far beyond Tinari's imagination, it would be impossible to strike him silently.

Of course, it's too unreasonable that such a being could only cause him to catch a cold.

Tina was puzzled. Not only him, but everyone present felt something was strange and even became secretly wary.

Shen He took out talismans, intending to conduct a comprehensive examination of Tinali to see what was going on with him.

"You entered Sumeru City and put on the Void Terminal?"

Su Hao asked again, because Tina's situation was somewhat similar to the original plot.

That plot, of course, is the "Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival" plot where Su Hao angrily berates miHoYo for three days and three nights.

Of course, that storyline could also be called "The Endless August".

It's just a loop in my dreams! Looping! Looping!!!

Su Hao didn't know how others felt, but he himself felt the experience was terrible, and sometimes he had already guessed the riddles.

As a result, the traveler couldn't guess the answer no matter what he tried, because there were only a few possible answers. The traveler had to fall into all the traps before he finally arrived at the correct answer.

This was really exhausting for Su Hao, but Tina looked weak right now.

This still made Su Hao involuntarily think of this plot.

"this."

Upon hearing this, Tina was slightly taken aback. Then he nodded and explained, "Yes, after entering Sumeru City, I put on the Void Terminal."

"It wasn't that anyone forced me, but I couldn't find Senior Farusan right away, so I could only rely on the Void Terminal to find her."

In Sumeru, although the Void Terminal has drawbacks such as being monitored, it is undeniably convenient.

Putting aside other things, just searching for information in the void, or even sending messages to others.

As a native Sumerian, Tinari knew that the Void Terminal had problems, but he would still choose to use it when faced with a situation.

This is similar to how people in Mondstadt go to Jean Grey when they need something, and people in Liyue go to the Thousand Rock Army when they need something.

Tina recounted what had happened in Sumeru City, and it seemed that on that very night, he had a rather long dream.

But this seems to be an illusion, because the Sumeru Man doesn't dream, and he has experienced that feeling of being in a dream before.

Upon waking, Tinari felt weak, as if his body had been hollowed out, but in order to see Farusan, he forced himself to go and find her despite his weakness.

Now, Tina is almost fully recovered. Although she still has a cough, she is much better than before.

"I see." The more Su Hao listened, the more convinced he became that the people in the Order of the Church had started acting inhumanely. He looked at Tinari and asked, "Has anyone died in Sumeru City now?"

"Or... has anyone died from extreme weakness, or woken up to a malignant outbreak of Demon Scale Disease, leading to a tragic death?"

As soon as Su Hao said those words, Tina's expression turned very unpleasant.

He nodded silently, because he had stayed in Sumeru City for about two days and was quite clear about what had happened there.

In any case, Tinari was a forest ranger, and his mentor was a sage, so he still had some unique access to information within Sumeru City.

On the night he was weak, several people did die, and two of them were indeed suffering from the Demon Scale Disease, who theoretically could have lived for a while longer.

But unexpectedly, they passed away overnight. When Tinali received the news, he was somewhat saddened by the impermanence of life.

But now... this is not an accident, it's murder, a murder that no one else knows about.

In fact, if Su Hao hadn't reminded her, Tinali wouldn't have even considered this possibility. Now that she thinks about it...

This made Tina's expression extremely ugly, because the only people who could do this in Sumeru City were the Church Council.

What are they doing?! Are they conducting an experiment?! But what kind of experiment would desecrate life?!

Tina, a kind-hearted man, was trembling with anger. He wished he could pick up his bow and return to Sumeru City to question the sages of the Order of the Church.

What are you doing?! Lord Tree King entrusted the Void to you and the Order of the Fathers to your safekeeping!

It is so that you may continue to develop your wisdom, benefit future generations, and contribute to the continent of Teyvat, not desecrate the lives of others!

"How dare they!!!! Cough cough cough!!!"

Tina was momentarily unable to catch his breath and began to cough violently. He couldn't believe what the Church was doing.

Even if others were to pressure the Church of Christ, it would be impossible for the Church of Christ to be so calm and quiet now, with no news coming out at all.

In other words, all of this was done by the higher-ups of the Order of the Church, that is, by the Sages.

Thinking about his mentor's strange behavior, Tinari couldn't help but clench his fists; he was deep in thought.

Did my supervisor encounter some misfortune, or has the experiment reached a point where communication with others is impossible, which is why they are no longer communicating with me?

"Don't be angry, don't be angry." Seeing Tina's appearance, Su Hao comforted her instead, "Maybe it's just my guess. Don't get agitated. We'll investigate the matter after we arrive in Sumeru City."

"I'll tell you slowly later. For now, please don't get excited."

Tina is quite weak now. He is an upright and kind man, and he will naturally be very angry when he learns that this matter is related to the Church.

If this anger causes him to collapse, then there's nothing Su Hao can do.

While the Grass God's legacy does represent life energy, the soul and psychological state cannot be healed solely by life energy.

“There’s no need to investigate.” After Su Hao’s persuasion, Tinali calmed down a bit and said with a wry smile, “Because only the Order of the Church can do this in Sumeru City.”

“I knew before that the sages could use the power of the void to influence the minds of others in secret. Perhaps, without our knowledge, I and the residents of Sumeru City were being used.”

As he spoke, Tina's gaze gradually hardened. He looked at Su Hao as if he had made a decision and said, "Now that things have come to this, I can't ignore it anymore. Su Hao, I will go and gather my colleagues."

"Tell them about this, and I believe they will join me in questioning the sages and asking them what they are doing."

If, originally, Tina only offered help because of Lord Tree King, then...
