"Speaking of which, you guys didn't get into the Fatui through connections, did you?"

Ying remarked, "Even the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt wouldn't accept such an idiot, would they?" Ying's unintentional remark immediately made the Fatui captain jump up and down.

"You're talking nonsense! I went through a rigorous selection process to join the Fools."

"Captain, I remember you didn't mention that your dad's classmate's son's girlfriend's uncle was the captain of the Fools' Clan, which is why you were put in here?"

"Yes, yes, I heard you say it yourself when you were drunk that time."

Paimon tilted his head. Good heavens, Ying was right. This leader of the Fools actually had connections. Ying drew her Blackrock Longsword. She didn't care whether the Fools had connections or not. Anyway, once the Fools were dead, no connection would matter.

Taking advantage of the three fools' distraction, Ying didn't hesitate for a moment and directly unleashed a tornado. Fire elemental energy seemed to overflow from nowhere, and the tornado instantly transformed into a fire tornado. Before the three fools could even scream a few times, they were gone from this world forever.

Looking at the still-swirling fire tornado, Ying looked at her hands in confusion. She couldn't control the fire element either, so how did it turn into a fire tornado?

"This fire element seems familiar; I think I've seen it somewhere before."

Su Bai squinted and carefully sensed the fire element within the fire tornado. To his surprise, he discovered that this powerful fire element was actually surging from underground, capable of penetrating the ground. Su Bai couldn't recall anyone being able to do that.

Moreover, the range of this fire element is very wide. Even if Hu Tao could make her fire element penetrate the ground, she couldn't penetrate such a wide area at the same time.

At this moment, Zhong Li seemed to sense something. A surge of rock element emanated from his body and flowed into the earth through his legs. As the ground shook a few times, a large crack appeared in the ground beneath Su Bai and the others' feet with a loud bang.

Taking advantage of her small size, Paimon was lured down the crack by Ying with delicious food. When Paimon came out, everyone present fell silent.

Su Bai and Ying exchanged glances as they looked at the wreckage of the bouncing bomb. The first thing that came to their minds when they helped Klee find treasure in Mondstadt was that the unlucky Fatui might have taken Klee's bouncing bomb back as some kind of treasure.

Zhongli sensed a familiar rock element in Paimon. No wonder his good brother hadn't returned to the Hall of Rebirth these past few days; he was doing good deeds here. It seems Ruo Tuo has grown up too. Perhaps things will be easier for Zhongli in the future.

"Wait here for me, I'm going down to see what's going on inside."

After saying that, Zhongli jumped directly into the crevice. There were some things he needed to confirm personally.

"Excuse me, what are you all doing?"

A soft, weak voice interrupted their thoughts. Su Bai and the others quickly adjusted their mindset. As long as Klee was alright, it didn't matter if the Fatui base was destroyed.

"Hey? Wang Xiaomei!"

"Wang Xiaomei? Who is Wang Xiaomei? Hello, traveler, my name is Gan Yu."

Gan Yu seemed a little confused about the nickname "Wang Xiaomei." When did she get such a nickname? Paimon was also puzzled. For some reason, the name "Wang Xiaomei" immediately popped into her head when she saw Gan Yu.

"Sister Gan Yu? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at work at this time?"

Upon seeing that the visitor was Gan Yu, Su Bai was quite surprised. His sister Gan Yu was a very busy person, and logically speaking, she should still be handling various affairs at Yuehai Pavilion at this time.

"Well, I saw in the intelligence report that Guiji had suffered some damage. Since Keqing was on leave today, Ningguang asked me to come and repair it. I had just finished repairing it and was about to return to Liyue Harbor when I noticed a fire element here, so I came to check if there were any monsters causing trouble."

"What happened here? Perhaps I can offer some assistance."

As she spoke, Gan Yu was about to take out her bow and arrows to help Su Bai and the others out of their predicament. After Su Bai explained the situation, Gan Yu finally relaxed.

"Sister Gan Yu, you need to take care of yourself and get some rest. Working overtime for long periods of time is bad for your health."

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

You'd pay attention to nothing! Su Bai didn't believe a single punctuation mark of what Gan Yu said. After returning from Daoqi, he visited Gan Yu, only to find that she had been working for three consecutive days, finally taking a short break on the fourth day. This long hours of overtime made Su Bai somewhat want to learn puppetry techniques from that old woman, Ying.

If he could learn puppetry techniques, Gan Yu might be able to escape from a mountain of documents, and at least his three meals a day and nine-to-five job would be guaranteed.

"Sigh, now I have another reason to go back to Inazuma, but I really don't want to face that old woman, Kage."

Su Bai's brows furrowed with worry. He realized that he and that old woman Ying seemed to be incompatible. Every time they met, either Su Bai would tease Ying with his words or Ying would suppress Su Bai with force.

Logically speaking, neither of them are impulsive people, but for some reason, they seemed to dislike each other from the moment they met. Yae no Kamiko and Hana Sanri did not try to stop them. These two foxes, who loved watching the drama unfold, even made a bet in private, betting on whether Su Bai or Ying would have the upper hand next time.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head out now. I still have a lot of work to do."

"Sister Gan Yu, wait a minute, do you know where I can find top-quality glass lilies?"

"A top-quality glass lily?"

Gan Yu hesitated for a moment, but still pointed to a mountain peak in Jueyun Mountain for everyone. It was a place she had discovered by chance, and she had always regarded it as her secret base.

"The top of that mountain is covered with glass lilies. The glass lilies there have a delicate texture, a slightly sweet aftertaste, and are refreshing and delicious. They must be glass lilies of very high quality."

"If you are going to pick them, please, please leave some. I really like to eat the glass lilies there. If you pick them all, no new glass lilies will grow."

After saying that, Gan Yu covered her face and ran towards Liyue Harbor. The blush on her fingertips showed that she had mustered a lot of courage to say those words.

Those who remained behind looked at each other, bewildered. Paimon scratched his head and said something uncertainly.

"I feel guilty, like I took a kid's lollipop. Should we look for somewhere else?"

Chapter 158 The Black Hand of the Scatterers

Snap snap snap~

"You create conflict and then take advantage of the situation. Young master, you've really impressed me this time."

A round of applause rang out, and a dark figure slowly emerged from the shadows. The boy wore a hat with a Kumamoto mask inlaid in the center, and a light gold curtain hung down his back to his calves. He wore a black short-sleeved shirt with furisode sleeves and shorts, and a purple belt tied around his waist with black armor of the same color as his arms.

The young master frowned, not expecting to encounter this scrawny fellow near the Golden House. It was truly disappointing. However, having witnessed the scrawny's strength, the young master would not offend him at this crucial time. He chuckled and said...

"Isn't this a stragglers? How come you said Liyue is here? Didn't you say you were going to investigate the meteorite that fell from the sky?"

"Hehe, my coming here has no conflict with investigating the meteorite, but it's you, young master."

"Don't steal my prey."

The soldier brushed past the young master, and the smile under the city girl's hat sent chills down his spine. This guy was simply a madman. The young master swallowed hard and cursed inwardly. Of the eleven Fools' Enforcers, he was probably the only normal one.

"Oh, by the way, I'll give you some news: it seems your brother Tok has boarded a ship bound for Liyue Harbor."

“I believe you, D'Artagnan, wouldn’t want Tok to hear the news of your dear brother’s death, would you?”

"Then, let's try our best to survive!"

After saying that, the soldier laughed and left the young master's sight. The young master was sure that he had never imagined educating his younger brother like this. Perhaps he could take a few 'Seven Wolves' belts back with him when he returned to Zhidong Kingdom next time. Those things seemed to be quite sturdy.

A purple figure flashed by with lightning. On a high mountain near the Golden House, a soldier toyed with an evil eye and quietly watched the Thousand Rock Army fighting the young master. He was starting to appreciate the Thousand Rock Army.

"It's already quite something that a group of ordinary people could fight against the young master for so long. However, if these Thousand Rock Army soldiers had obtained the Evil Eyes, this farce would probably have been even more exciting. It's a pity that they brought too few Evil Eyes this time."

"So, Su Bai, it's time for you to make a choice. This time, will you become as bad as me? I'm really looking forward to the final closing act."

High on the mountain, the soldier slowly closed his eyes. The scene from a few years ago kept flashing through his mind. When he opened his eyes again, he seemed to see the scene of war raging in Liyue Harbor.

A wicked smile grew larger and larger on the soldier's face, and his wild laughter echoed through the mountains. For some reason, his laughter grew softer and softer. A little sparrow flying in the high school tilted its head and looked at this strange guy. It vaguely heard the strange man mutter, "I hope he doesn't die."

"Qiqi, take good care of your Tuanque. We should head back to Liyue Harbor. There might be someone there who needs your help."

"Klee, proceed according to plan. This most important step is now in your hands."

"Don't worry, Sister Tuotuo, Keli will definitely complete the mission."

On the top floor of Wangshu Inn, Yan Xiao shakily carried a plate of Immortal Jumps Over the Wall and placed it on the dining table. It's no wonder he was timid; in Liyue, anyone would be nervous serving four immortals at the same time. Yan Xiao's ability to even take that step was already considered a sign of his courage.

The aroma from the "Immortal Jumps Over the Wall" dish made Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun unconsciously glance at Yan Xiao a few times. This sudden gaze almost made Yan Xiao kneel down.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not going to eat you."

"Alright, alright, go downstairs. Look how scared you are."

Yan Xiao felt as if he had been granted a pardon and left with his head down. As soon as he got downstairs, Phil Gaudette grabbed Yan Xiao and hurriedly asked him how the atmosphere was among the immortals upstairs. Yan Xiao scratched his head.

"I don't know either. I came downstairs after serving the dishes."

"You, you idiot, why don't you take a look?"

"Boss, you didn't let me see it, so why are you blaming me?"

Philgoldet was at a loss for words. What Yan Xiao said made sense, and she hadn't reminded Yan Xiao, so it wasn't Yan Xiao's fault. Thinking of this, Philgoldet sighed helplessly.

"Okay, I understand. Yanxiao, you can go ahead and get busy."

"It's really weird."

Yan Xiao muttered something under his breath, not daring to say anything more. After all, his salary was paid by this boss, and based on his experience, offending the boss would not end well.

At the top of Wangshu Inn, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun examined the dishes on the table for a while. She had always had an idea to invent an automatic cooking mechanism, so that she could enjoy delicious meals anytime, anywhere. Therefore, she felt it was necessary to research how to make good food. (Back then, organizing this cooking mechanism for the Lunar Festival kept me extremely busy and flustered.)

"It's almost time. According to the plan, it's our turn to enter."

Xiao shoveled the last bite of almond tofu into his mouth. The three immortals behind him were also ready, but it seemed that Liu Yun, the mastermind behind the Liyue Seven Stars, had encountered a slight mishap. (I only realized today, when I fed Yi Dou almond tofu, that there was no tofu in it. Goodness, I was wondering why Yi Dou wasn't allergic. Also, Ning Guang doesn't seem to like the Peace of the Four Directions.)

"Why does this illusion feel so strange to me? Li Shui, can you see what's wrong with it?"

“Liu Yun, we’ve been friends for a thousand years, how could I lie to you? I really can’t see anything wrong with it.”

The eyes of the True Lord of Water and Mountain were sincere. The True Lord of Cloud and Wind looked at the True Lord of Moon and Sun with suspicion. The True Lord of Moon and Sun turned his head to the side. The True Lord of Cloud and Wind reminded him of the bald pigeon he had seen in Liyue Harbor before.

"Xiaoyue, what do you mean by this? Is there something wrong with the illusion I used?"

"No, no, no, Liu Yun, I just think you're being a bit too serious. The people in Liyue Harbor are all ordinary people. They can't see through your illusions at all. I just think your illusions are too over the top."

Although True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang has a bad temper, after thousands of years, he is no longer the hot-blooded immortal with low emotional intelligence. Now, True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang will still give face to his old friends.

Shen He nodded in agreement with what Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun said. That's right. For ordinary people, such illusions are enough to confuse them, so she doesn't need to worry so much.

"Now that the problem is solved, let's get going."

"Everyone, please don't forget the roles we each play. If anything goes wrong and the Emperor blames us, it will be no small matter."

After saying that, Xiao transformed into a wisp of green light and disappeared from the top of Wangshu Inn. The remaining three immortals followed closely behind and left Wangshu Inn.

Watching the immortals turn into black dots in the air, Philgodette hurriedly crushed the jade pendant in her hand. At the same time, in the Jade Pavilion, Ningguang looked at the broken jade pendant on the table and gave an order with a wave of her hand.

"Go and call Yuheng Star and Miss Ganyu over. We should go and welcome the immortals together."

Chapter 159 The Immortal Descends upon Liyue Harbor (1)

"Wow, what's going on? Why are there so many Thousand Rock Army soldiers at the city gate? And the Fools too."

"Hmm, the atmosphere is strange. It seems something big has happened. Just to be safe, we'd better find someone to inquire about it."

Seeing many Thousand Rock soldiers interrogating the Fools, and even some Thousand Rock soldiers drawing their weapons, Paimon felt that the atmosphere was very strange, even somewhat tense. Zhongli also confirmed Paimon's words.

"Then let's hurry up and go ask the Thousand Rock Army... No, let's ask the Fools instead. They all seem very busy."

After finding a member of the Fools who was not surrounded by the Thousand Rocks Army, Zhongli, with his influence in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, successfully persuaded the Fool to reveal everything he knew.

"The immortals from Jueyun have arrived at Liyue Harbor. I'm afraid their intentions are not good."
