"That blonde is now a wanted criminal in Liyue. We'll turn Liyue Harbor upside down if we have to, but we'll find her!"

"Young master! Look at the mess you've made! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be wanted by the police!!!"

Upon hearing the voices of Qianyan Army outside the alley, Ying drew her Black Rock Longsword, ready to strike the young master. Had the young master not been agile, he would likely have had a hole in his body.

"Now is not the time to talk about these things. Come with me, let's hide at the Northern Bank."

"Are you trying to trick me again?"

"Within Liyue Harbor, only the Northern Bank is currently safe."

Ying reluctantly sheathed her Black Rock Longsword. What the young master said was indeed true; as a wanted criminal, it seemed that only the Northern Bank was safe for her now.

Inside the Northern Bank, Ying watched the young master warily. The young master shrugged. They had never met before, and he didn't know why this traveler seemed so hostile towards him.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Young Master. If it's alright, could you please put your sword away for now?"

"Hmph, it's always good to be cautious when dealing with the Fools. Now, tell me, what brings you here?"

Ying snorted. She wasn't some three-year-old who would believe whatever others said. This young master must have had ulterior motives for bringing her to the Northern Bank.

"Haha, it's so easy to talk to smart people, so I'll just say it directly."

"I hope you, Traveler, will visit the immortals in Liyue and tell them what happened today."

"That's it?"

Ying could hardly believe her ears. She thought the Fools were plotting something, but she never expected that this young master had gone to such lengths just to get her to visit the immortals and tell them the truth.

"That's right, it's that simple."

"Traveler, you've been in Liyue these past few days, and I'm sure you can feel the Liyue official's dislike for us Fatui."

"If the truth of this matter is not revealed to the immortals as soon as possible, and if the Seven Stars smear our Fools on this matter, we Fools will be in trouble."

The young master gave a bitter smile. The Unfettered Talisman had not yet been successfully replicated on a large scale. He couldn't afford to be discovered by the immortals now, or death would be the only thing waiting for him.

"Heh, the reason why the Liyue Seven Stars despise you Fatui is because you Fatui have done so many bad things."

"Haha, don't talk nonsense. We Fools are law-abiding citizens. Someone, bring the marked map and the Unrestricted Talisman to the traveler."

Ying did not immediately accept the golden, taboo-free talisman and map. Instead, she gave the young master a wary look. She still vividly remembered what had happened in Mondstadt.

"I don't need your things. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"Hey, you can take it before you go."

The young master stopped Ying, smiling as he tried to hand her the "Treasure of Freedom" scroll, but Ying slapped it away. She gave him a disgusted look and turned to leave without turning back. The young master wasn't angry; he simply smiled and said...

"Traveler, without this 'Ten Thousand Taboos' talisman, you will not be able to see the immortals. Only those who hold the 'Ten Thousand Taboos' talisman can attract the attention of the immortals."

"So what? I didn't say I was going to help you."

"Yeah, yeah, why should we help you Fools? You think you'd give us five hundred... mmm mmm mmm!"

Ying breathed a sigh of relief as she covered Paimon's mouth. Good heavens, that idiot Paimon almost let it slip. If he had actually said it, the two of them might never have left the Northern Bank.

"Hehe, traveler, don't forget that if you don't see the immortals, you won't be able to get your wanted posters removed."

Hearing the young master's words, Ying hesitated. Although she had memorized the locations of the three immortals, she didn't know there was such a rule when meeting immortals. Did she really have to turn around and pick up the talisman that had no taboos? Ying was extremely conflicted. Paimon noticed Ying's hesitation and whispered in her ear...

"Ying, have you forgotten Su Bai's identity? Let's go to Wangshu Inn to find Su Bai first, and then we can go find the other immortals together. With Su Bai's identity as an immortal, those immortals will definitely come out."

Ying thought for a moment and realized, "Yeah, to hell with the Unfettered Talisman! That thing is just a piece of rubbish. Even if it's useful, can it be as useful as Su Bai's immortal status?" She was surprised that Paimon could be so clever for once. It was truly remarkable.

Thinking of this, Ying kicked open the door of the Northern Bank and left without looking back. The young master and the fools in the Northern Bank looked at each other, wondering why this traveler was not playing by the rules. Although they did not know what Ying meant, the young master still gave an order.

"Give the order: all Fatui members in Liyue should not antagonize this Traveler before obtaining the Geo Archon's Heart. If they encounter her in the wild, prioritize protecting her safety. This pawn cannot be allowed to suffer any mishaps, at least not now."

(Four weekly dungeons, 150 stamina, and nothing good dropped, not even a single weapon prototype... Using this 150 stamina to farm the Ice Dungeon probably wouldn't improve anything, but who knows, maybe I'll get an Ice Damage Goblet or a Crit Damage Helmet...)

Chapter 132 New Techniques

At Dihua Island, two figures, one in white and one in green, clashed repeatedly. The battle between wind and rain elements broke many of the surrounding grass. A poor grass slime was unaware of what was happening, as half of the flower on its head had been cut off.

"Boss Xiao's skills are still as good as ever."

Touching his reddened hand, Su Bai couldn't help but sigh. Time seemed to have no effect on immortals. This old man, Xiao, who was several thousand years old, hadn't lost any of his skills. On the contrary, he seemed to have improved even more than before. After this exchange, he had at least four red marks on his body.

Just as he never expected, Xiangling's marksmanship was actually taught by Granny Ping. According to Xiangling's description, although Granny Ping was old, she was incredibly impressive when she wielded a gun.

Xiao twirled the wooden stick with a spear. To be honest, he was very dissatisfied with Su Bai's decision to abandon the one-handed sword and spear in favor of magical weapons. Su Bai had shown great talent in spear and sword techniques when he was young, and Xiao had once thought that Su Bai would become a master of both.

After ten years apart, when they met again, Su Bai actually said that he wanted to find a magical artifact to use as a weapon in the future, and even asked him if he had any recommendations for magical artifacts. This almost made Xiao, who was not good with words, furious. In his opinion, Su Bai was simply wasting his talent.

"As an immortal who has taken human form, one's hand skills must at least be passable."

"It just so happens that I'm going to teach you some wind element martial arts techniques, and at the same time train your martial arts skills."

"No way, Boss Xiao, I won't need it in the future."

Su Bai protested with a long face, but Xiao ignored him completely. Seeing that Su Bai had recovered enough, he swung his wooden stick and rushed forward.

"Boss Xiao, you even used the Wind Wheel Dual-Strike technique??? You didn't hold back at all."

Su Bai's eye twitched. The Wind Wheel Stands Alone was Boss Xiao's most frequently used move. He had personally witnessed Boss Xiao use this move to pierce through a small mountain. If this move were to hit him, he would be in for a world of hurt. It seemed that he would have to show some of his true skills.

"Boss Xiao, you'd better watch out. This move is something I just came up with recently, but it's very difficult to defend against."

With the wooden sword held horizontally in front of him, wind elements continuously gathered on the sword. To prevent accidentally injuring Xiao, Su Bai kindly reminded Xiao. Upon hearing Su Bai's new move, Xiao deliberately slowed down the speed of the two wind wheels.

"Return to the fox!"

A fox-shaped slash made of wind element went straight for Xiao's wooden stick. Seeing that this move seemed quite fierce, Xiao became somewhat expectant and at the same time wrapped the wooden stick in his hand with a layer of wind element.

The wind elemental strike landed on the wooden stick in Xiao's hand. Xiao thought it would be a close contest, but Su Bai's strike only lasted for one breath before turning into wind elemental energy and disappearing into the air.

The sudden turn of events made Xiao frown. What was going on? With Su Bai's control over the wind element, this slash shouldn't be so weak.

Looking at the scattered wind elements and the somewhat puzzled Xiao, Su Bai's lips curled into a smile. It seems that Boss Xiao is about to fall for it. If this move can really hit Boss Xiao, then Boss Xiao will lose face and can no longer train me.

Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned. If it were someone else, Su Bai might have succeeded. But this time, the target is Xiao. Who is Xiao? Xiao is an immortal who has been playing with the wind element for thousands of years. His perception of the wind element has long reached a level of perfection.

He sensed something was wrong with the wind element as soon as it dissipated, but he didn't react immediately because he was pondering why Su Bai's move was so weak.

The Xiao, who had been hanging on the beam with doubt, suddenly leaped towards Su Bai. Somehow, a huge wind blade appeared behind him. The wind blade was quite powerful, and when it hit the grass, it directly shaved off a piece of the ground.

"Boss Xiao, you actually realized that? I was thinking of stopping it at any moment."

Su Bai awkwardly touched his nose. There was a wooden stick pressed against his throat, and at the other end of the stick was Xiao, who had just looked puzzled.

"This move is quite powerful, and the second attack is not easy to detect, but it has a fatal flaw."

"If others know the strangeness of your move, then the move may lose its original purpose."

"Boss Xiao, you can't say that."

Su Bai moved the wooden stick pressed against his throat aside. He had already considered these issues when he devised this move. If anyone really knew the strangeness of this move, they would die a terrible death.

"What does Boss Xiao think of the power of my wind blade?"

"Very strong."

"Then what about the impact of my move?"

“Very big.”

"What if I shout the name of the move 'Returning Fox' during the battle, but actually use Wind Blade?"

Hearing Su Bai's words, Xiao looked at Su Bai with a complicated expression. This was a routine he had never imagined before. In Xiao's mind, shouldn't you use whatever move is called out?

Could it be that sometimes a battle without any strategy can be more effective in catching the opponent off guard? Recalling the chaotic and unpredictable punches of the Dragon King Ruotu, Xiao fell into deep thought. Perhaps he could develop a move that appears to attack the enemy with three points on the surface, but actually conceals seven points, catching the opponent off guard. But how could he develop a weapon like a spear?

At this moment, inside the Wangshu Inn, Ying and Paimeng had searched the entire inn but couldn't find Su Bai's figure, nor could they find the shadow of the other immortal.

Because Wangshu Inn is far from Liyue Harbor, even though Filford is one of Ningguang's confidantes, she did not receive any arrest warrants for Luminous.

"Ying, let's go ask that boss. She's so well-informed, she should know where Su Bai and that immortal went."

Ying agreed with Paimon's idea. It was rare for Paimon to be so clever twice in one day. Ying wondered if she should reward Paimon with a good meal. But after checking her purse, Ying resolutely decided to cook a meal for Paimon herself when she had time, as a way of showing her encouragement.

"You're looking for Brother Su Bai and that Demon-Slaying Great Sage? These two went out after breakfast this morning, and I don't know where they went."

"Oh, I see. Boss lady, do you have any way to let us see them as soon as possible?"

"Little guy, let me correct you, it's the boss, not the boss's wife. If you really want to see them as soon as possible, then go to the kitchen and ask Yanxiao to make some almond tofu."

Philgodette smiled and corrected Paimon's mistake. She certainly wouldn't have helped anyone else, but this blonde girl had eaten with Su Bai, and it was definitely a good idea to befriend her. She believed that if she ever needed her help in the future, the girl wouldn't refuse.

Chapter 133 The Rock King Emperor Has Been Assassinated

"There's a ghost in the kitchen? I mean, if you don't want to make almond tofu for us, just say so! You actually came up with this kind of excuse to fool us!"

"Besides, it was Boss Phil Gaudette who asked you to make almond tofu; we were just messengers."

"It's not that I don't want to do it, it's that I really can't. Look, my arms are still shaking."

Yan Xiao raised her arm, and Paimon noticed that Yan Xiao's arm was shaking incessantly, just like when she first saw that huge fireball tree.

Having experienced the ghost-catching operation at Wangshu Inn, Ying initially didn't believe Yan Xiao's words. However, the fear in Yan Xiao's eyes didn't seem fake, which aroused Ying's suspicion. Didn't Su Bai say that he had successfully exorcised the ghost last time? How come a ghost suddenly appeared?

Could something have happened during this time? That caused Wangshu Inn to attract another ghost? This place is really a bit ominous. Ying thought for a moment and decided to find out.

"Chef Yanxiao, has anything happened recently?"

"Recently, by the way, the Fools recently visited Wangshu Inn, and it seems they even got into a fight. It must have been the Fools who did it."

As if he had guessed something, Yan Xiao became very excited. He cursed the Fools, his spittle almost hitting Ying's face, which startled Ying, who quickly distanced herself from Yan Xiao.

"What are you two doing here? Yanxiao, why are you so agitated?"

Su Bai's slightly tired voice came from behind Ying. If it weren't for the fact that it was lunchtime, he felt that Boss Xiao could train him all day long.

"Immortal Su Bai, you're finally back! Please help me, the kitchen is haunted again."

"Su Bai, you're finally back! Listen to me..."

"Stop, stop, stop, one at a time. I'll deal with Yanxiao's problem first. After that, Yanxiao, hurry up and cook something, I'm starving."

Yan Xiao almost knelt down before Su Bai. Su Bai raised an eyebrow, somewhat speechless. Yan Xiao looked like a rough and tough guy, so why was he so afraid of ghosts? If he remembered correctly, that ghost was just the ghost of a little girl.

"Alright, alright, stop yelling. Here, take this jade pendant. With this jade pendant, you'll never see ghosts again."

Su Bai sensed that Yan Xiao was using the stone slab left in the kitchen as a cutting board. Su Bai rubbed his head. It seemed that the unreliable Phil Goddart had forgotten to tell Yan Xiao that he had left the stone slab. Helpless, Su Bai took out a jade pendant and drew an illusion on it. He didn't believe that Yan Xiao could still see ghosts like that.
