Finally, when she was about one meter away from Song Yinjian, her hands, trembling with excessive nervousness, could no longer hold the sword. With a "clang", the sword slipped to the ground.

She quickly squatted down to pick it up, but at this moment, Song Yinjian stepped on the sword first.

The woman stretched out her hand unwillingly and tried to pull the sword out from under Song Yinjian's feet, but the sword did not move at all.

She suddenly felt extremely discouraged, and the grievances and helplessness accumulated in her heart suddenly surged to her heart. She squatted on the spot, covered her face with her hands and cried bitterly.

Seeing this, Song Yinjian was speechless.

He lifted his foot, took out a purse from his Qiankun bag, and said gently, "Don't cry, answer my question, and this purse will be yours."

After hearing his words, the woman slowly raised her head and looked up at him with tearful eyes. Her voice was filled with tears, "What do you want to know?"

"What's your name? Why are you robbing?" Song Yinjian asked in confusion.

In his opinion, Nata is a country that worships heroes, and robbery like this should not happen.

When the woman heard this, a look of hesitation appeared on her face.

Her eyes moved back and forth between the purse in Song Yinjian's hand and his face, and she seemed to be struggling fiercely in her heart.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, “My name is Juana, and I am from the Echo Sons tribe.

My brother, Hubaka, was a warrior of the tribe, but in a battle with an abyssal monster, he was too reckless and ignored warnings, resulting in the annihilation of his entire squadron.

When Song Yinjian heard Juana's answer, he immediately understood why she robbed.

In Nata, the families of the warriors in the tribe enjoy preferential treatment, which is a recognition and reward for the warriors' contributions to the tribe.

Even if a warrior unfortunately dies heroically in battle, this treatment will always continue to comfort his family.

But in cases like Hubaka, the tribe obviously will not retain this generous treatment.

The main industry of the Sons of Echo is mining, and Juana is frail and cannot handle such heavy work.

Song Yinjian gently threw the purse on the ground and said, "Don't do this again."

After saying that, he stepped forward.

Juana quickly picked up the money bag, stood up, and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Can you tell me your name? I will pay you back if I have money in the future."

"Liyue Songyin Sword." A faint voice came from a distance.

The moment she heard the name, Juana's eyes suddenly widened and her face was full of disbelief.

Then, excitement flashed in his eyes.

She believed that his arrival would definitely bring new changes to Nata.

After bidding farewell to Juana, Song Yinjian and the Great Tree King came to the location of the Echo Son's tribe.

The tribe is located in the canyon, with residents' houses scattered on the stone walls on both sides.

The style of the house is quite similar to that of the Sumeru Desert, revealing an undecorated ruggedness and primitiveness.

Song Yinjian looked around the tribe and had a general understanding of the situation of the Echo Sons tribe.

As he walked out of the tribe, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

The backwardness of Nata was beyond his expectations. As one of the six major tribes, the Sons of Echo's level of development was far lower than the most backward village in Liyue.

And all this is the price paid for fighting against the abyss.

The Great Compassion Tree King beside him understood the reason for his sigh and said self-reproachfully, "This is my fault. As a neighboring country of Nata, Xumi should do its best to help Nata fight against the abyss."

Song Yinjian shook his head slightly. "Now is not the time to dwell on past mistakes. Instead, we should focus on correcting what is about to happen in the future."

Upon hearing this, the Great Compassionate Tree King nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, they decided to go to Yanmizhu.

According to the information provided by Alechino, the captain of the Fatui seems to be active in that place.

.....................................

The master of smoke riddles.

In a slightly messy room, all kinds of sundries were piled up randomly, and clothes and books were mixed together in a disorderly manner.

A cute girl was lying on the bed, reading the currently popular light novel "The Domineering Liyue Immortal Master Fell in Love with Me, a Fox Demon" attentively.

She was completely immersed in the world of the novel, and would laugh foolishly from time to time because of the interesting plots in the book.

Just as the girl turned to the next page, a photo of Song Yinjian quietly slipped from between the pages and fell slowly onto the bed.

She quickly reached out and picked up the photo.

In the photo, Song Yinjian was wearing a white robe as white as snow, with a graceful figure and an otherworldly temperament, which made her unable to help but take a second look.

Although this guy is a bit promiscuous in love, I have to admit that he is really handsome and a very attractive love partner.

The girl was shocked by this sudden idea. She could be his grandmother, how could she have such an idea?

However, his lover, Funina, seems to be able to be his grandmother.

The girl shook her head, getting rid of the strange thoughts in her mind.

Then, she carefully put the photo back into the novel, ready to continue immersing herself in the world of the novel.

But at this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door, interrupting her interest in continuing to read.

She put the novel away unhappily, got up from the bed, and walked towards the door in her slippers.

During the process, I accidentally stepped on the bottle of wine that I had finished drinking last night and almost fell down.

This made her feel even worse.

She pushed the door open and saw her old acquaintance standing there - Bilan, the leader of the Smoke Riddle Lords.

"If you don't have a good reason to bother me, Grandma, I'll give you a taste of my fist."

As she spoke, she raised her little fist and shook it in the air.

"Grandma Obsidian, it's not me who's looking for you, but Liyue Immortal Master Song who's looking for you!" Bilan hurriedly explained, while reaching out to guide Song Yinjian who was standing behind him.

The girl's gaze followed Bilan's hand, and when she saw Song Yinjian, her expression froze instantly.

Chapter 289 You Have to Call Me Grandpa

The girl couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw Song Yinjian.

The next second, she pulled hard reflexively, and the door closed instantly with a snap.

Pilan turned around awkwardly, facing Song Yinjian, and said apologetically, "Great Shaman Xitlalli has a somewhat eccentric personality, but she is definitely an elder worthy of respect.

If you don't mind, you can wait here for a while, she should open the door to see you."

Song Yinjian nodded calmly, "I'll wait here."

Meanwhile, Sitrali in the house was like an ostrich, with her head buried deep in the quilt, her heart full of resentment.

"It's over, it's over. Song Yinjian must have seen me like that just now."

"He'll definitely think I'm just some grumpy old monster."

"Also, he must have seen clearly how filthy the room was just now!"

"what!!!"

The more Xitlari thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt, and the less she wanted to see Song Yinjian.

She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Song Yinjian would leave quickly so that she wouldn't have to face that embarrassing situation.

However, Song Yinjian outside the door showed no intention of leaving.

He calmly took out a recliner from his Qiankun bag and sat down, then took out a light novel and began to read leisurely.

Seeing that she couldn't escape, Sitrali simply took the risk and pushed the door open.

She strode out, hands on her hips, and said in a hoarse voice, "Hey, kid, what do you want from me?"

Song Yinjian slowly put down the light novel in his hand, looked up at the old-fashioned Xitlal in front of him, and suddenly a trace of evil taste surged in his heart.

He said slowly, "Xitrali, according to age, you should call me Grandpa Immortal Master."

"Grandpa Immortal Master?" Xitlal was momentarily stunned, her face filled with confusion. "Aren't you only in your twenties?"

Song Yinjian waved his hand, his expression feigning sophistication. "Do you think, with my immense strength and profound wisdom, I could be just a young man in his twenties?"

Xitrali was stunned when she heard this. After thinking about it carefully, she felt that what he said made sense.

A man as outstanding as him should not be just a young boy.

She asked, "How old are you this year?"

Song Yinjian smiled faintly, "I am exactly four hundred years old this year."

When Xitrali heard this answer, she felt inexplicably relieved, as if she had found a kindred spirit.

She quickly calculated her age in her mind and soon came to the conclusion that no matter how she calculated it, she was much younger than him.

Xitlari hesitated for a moment, but finally shouted, "Grandpa Immortal Master!"

Upon hearing this, the corners of Song Yinjian's mouth twitched uncontrollably twice, and it took a lot of effort to suppress the urge to laugh.

He spoke in a tone that was truly that of an elder: "Granddaughter, I have some historical questions I'd like to ask you. Would it be convenient for me to come in and sit down?"

Sitrali subconsciously wanted to refuse.

My room is a mess now and I'm embarrassed to let him see it.

But then he thought again, Song Yinjian was his elder, and the words of refusal were about to come to his lips, but he swallowed them back.

She said with a hint of self-abandonment, "My room is a little messy, but let me make it clear, it only happens occasionally."

"Granddaughter, I understand. I used to be like that too." Song Yinjian smiled gently, like an extremely caring elder.

Then, Sitrali turned around and gently opened the door of her room.

Song Yinjian followed closely behind her and stepped into the house.

The decoration style of the house is very simple, with several bookshelves placed around, which are filled with various books.

Song Yinjian originally thought that these books were ancient classics.

But when he walked closer, he was surprised to find that the bookshelf was full of Inazuma's light novels, several of which he had read before.

"Those light novels are a mess. Only young people would like to read them. I won't read them. I put them here to be criticized." Sitrali looked flustered and hurriedly covered up.

Song Yinjian smiled slightly and reached out to pick up one of the light novels. "I really like this light novel."

Xitlari took a closer look and was suddenly shocked to find that the light novel was actually her favorite "New Legend of the Six Foxes".

Then, Song Yinjian softly recited the first sentence of the novel: "Stories about memory are always connected to moments of gain and loss."

His voice is warm and magnetic, with a hint of melancholy.

Xitlalli stared at him blankly, and at that moment, she suddenly felt a strong resonance in her soul.

As an immortal master, he must have been experiencing the sadness of gaining and losing things over the long years, just like himself.

Her tone unconsciously became gentle, and she softly consoled him, "Master Song... Grandpa, actually running away is also a very good choice. You won't gain anything, and you won't lose anything either."

Song Yinjian shook his head slightly, "Granddaughter, this is a wrong interpretation.

Memory is the wrinkle in the long river of time, the precise capture and eternal preservation of the beautiful moments that have passed.

If we simply choose to escape, then memory will lose the meaning it should carry, and life will become empty and pale."

Chapter 290 Captain's Action

Xitlari hesitated for a long time, but finally rejected Song Yinjian's invitation.

It's a bit too unreserved to accept a man's invitation to drink on the first meeting.

Song Yinjian didn't care about it. He made an appointment with her to come again tomorrow, and then politely said goodbye and left.

He had just walked out of the room and had not gone far when a young man suddenly appeared and blocked his way.

The man had a handsome face and was wearing a dark purple tight-fitting outfit that perfectly outlined his tall and straight figure.

"Master Song, hello, I am Oluolun from the Smoke Riddle Master. The captain asked me to invite you over to meet him." Oluolun bowed slightly, with a hint of respect in his tone.

Song Yinjian nodded calmly, "Then please lead the way!"
