This heroine is so despicable

"Ahe, who are you dealing with? This place doesn't look like a decent place, you..."

[Wait, considering Shen He's personality, could it be that she is inexperienced and has been deceived by someone? ]

Xing's eyes widened when he thought of this.

"Tell me the truth, Shen He, who asked you to wait here?"

"it's me."

A helpless voice sounded, Xing turned around, and saw Ye Lan came out with a sigh, and the two generals beside him nodded quickly:

"boss!"

Xing suddenly felt a little strange about Ye Lan.

"Boss? Why are you hanging out with the underworld when you're not working for the General Affairs Department? Also, how did you two get together?"

Ye Lan sighed:

"Let's talk while we walk. I've just finished my work here."

The three of them walked towards Yuehai Pavilion, and on the way Xing finally understood how Ye Lan and Shen He got together.

The owner of the Yanshang Teahouse was previously found to be in collusion with the Fatui, so after Ye Lan finished her investigation, she took over this place - this place is a casino, with all kinds of people, but it is also suitable for snooping about any transactions.

As long as there is a society, there will always be places like this, so Ye Lan simply took over this place and used it as his own intelligence station and activity point, which would make it more convenient for him to do certain things in the future.

As for why Shen He was with her...

After the battle of Osel, Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng also realized that he could not always let Shen He follow their group of immortals and ignore the worldly affairs, so he hoped that Shen He could stay in Liyue Harbor and entrusted Shen He's senior sister Ganyu to look after her.

Workaholic Ganyu naturally felt that the best way was to arrange a job for her junior sister.

But Shen He obviously couldn't do clerical work. It's not that she was illiterate, but she just didn't seem like the kind of person who could handle all kinds of tedious official documents.

As Shen He is an ordinary military position, it seems like a waste of his talent to send him to Qianyan Army, and it is not quite right to parachute him in to take up an important position.

"...Then Ganyu asked me if I needed anyone here, saying that Shen He was an extraordinary martial artist and that ordinary enemies would not be his match. My work sometimes involves danger, so having a strong helper would be just right..."

When saying this, Xing was surprised to find that Ye Lan's tone was full of emotion of "regret".

"Ah, the result is ..."

Xing tilted her head: "Result?"

Ye Lan was speechless for a moment. Finally, she covered her forehead, pulled Xing over, and whispered:

"I know she is a disciple of the Immortal Family, but... her fighting ability is too high... and she is too straightforward in her actions. You should know my job, right?"

"Um...secret police?"

"That's about right. So you should understand that there are many things I have to investigate in detail first. I can only close the net after I figure out all the details, and Shen He..."

The two turned around and looked at Shen He who was following them silently - the latter even tilted his head and looked at them strangely as they were whispering.

Xing recalled Shen He's personality and nodded immediately with empathy:

"Got it. I guess she followed you for something like 'where to go?' and 'who to kill?'"

This seems to be similar to what we usually do.

[I think we also have 'Are there any pretty girls' and 'Can you buckle it?']

Ye Lan nodded:

"So you should understand why I have a headache. If nothing else, when she meets someone who refuses to cooperate, she likes to grab that person's head and knock it on the ground three times... Well, sometimes this method is quite effective..."

Xing held back her laughter, and unexpectedly discovered that this pairing might be a lot of fun:

"Can't you just teach her a little more about how to treat people?"

Ye Lan's face turned even more bitter when she heard this:

"This is exactly what's bothering me right now. Ganyu also told her the same thing, saying that she should learn more from me, but I don't know if she misunderstood something. Now she follows me for a while during meal time. I asked her to take a break and rest, but she said she didn't know what to do. In the end, she still followed me..."

[What is Ye Lan’s personal master?]

Star shrugged:

"The disciples of the Immortal Family are here to protect me 24 hours a day. It sounds very safe!"

"I feel like I'm about to have a nervous breakdown, but... fortunately, I've gotten used to it over the past few days..."

Xing then pulled Shen He, who was following quietly behind him, over:

"How does Shen He feel about Ye Lan?"

The latter thought about it and nodded: "Although there are still many things I don't understand to learn, but...Ye Lan cares about me very much."

"Then it looks like there's no problem."

Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed a good choice for Shen He to follow Ye Lan temporarily. Both of them are women, and their elements are well compatible. One is smart and scheming, and the other is strong and powerful. They are really a wonderful combination.

Ye Lan was obviously busy with confidential matters concerning the General Affairs Department with Shen He, so Xing sent the two of them to Yuehai Pavilion and left.

I wanted to go find Hu Tao and Xiang Ling to play with them, but I didn't know where they went.

The one who greeted her at the Wangsheng Hall was the guest official with a leisurely look on his face. Xing always felt that the way he sat at the door and made a cup of tea was just like a security guard who had retired and was contented.

Maybe it’s because I completed a big order, so there are no annual assessment indicators, so I’m so relaxed.

Zhongli politely said that Master Hu had gone out to collect folk songs, and he didn't know where he was and when he would return.

At Wanmin Hall, Master Mao also said that Xiangling had gone to prepare ingredients for the upcoming Lantern Festival.

With no other options, Xing used the anchor point to go to Mond to look for news about Yingmei.

Captain Qin and others were naturally very welcome to Xing's visit. They also said that Yingmei had just been here not long ago and seemed to be asking Barbara about some news about the statue.

I know that Captain Qin has a younger sister named Barbara Xing, so I might as well go and meet her.

However, as soon as he arrived at the West Wind Cathedral, Xing met the elder nun Rosalia who almost took him home last time.

The latter seemed to know that she was here to find out about Yingmei's news, and gave the news directly:

"You are here to look for the traveler, right? If I am not mistaken, she went to the Wolf Territory alone, and she was followed by a suspicious blond man."

Xing was stunned for a moment—there was actually a man following Yingmei! ?

man! ?

[Gah! Don’t do that! Yingmei has her own life too! I don’t want to see that!]

Without saying a word, Xing immediately turned around and rushed to the teleportation anchor point!

Volume 112 Under the Sun: We Will Meet Again (Part )

Because there are not many teleportation points opened by Xing in Mondstadt, if you want to go to the Wolf Territory, you still need to go to the anchor point on the high ground east of the Dawn Winery - starting from there and opening the Wings of Wind is the fastest route.

Xing, anxious to see Yingmei, rushed all the way and soon arrived at the Benlang Territory, and then... then he didn't know what to do.

The area of ​​Benlang Territory is not small, and there are overgrown vegetation everywhere. It is obviously not easy to find someone here.

Xing was not a good demon hunter at tracking, so he could only shout Yingmei's name loudly and search in the woods.

But her call did not attract Yingmei, but instead some furry uninvited guests came - don't get me wrong, they were not the wolves here, but on the contrary, they were several abyss mages floating in the air, protected by elemental shields, wearing masks and holding staffs.

"Kaiyaya~"

Kaia is obviously not here.

[And this guy actually used double words? How disgusting]

The leader was an ice-type abyss mage, who fired ice spikes at Xing while mumbling the name of a cavalry captain.

I've heard from Yingmei that this kind of enemy star can be regarded as the grassroots backbone of the Abyss Cult. They are widely active around the world and engage in various conspiracies and sabotage.

Yingmei even said that they once tried to lead a large army of Hilichurls to attack Mondstadt, but were unfortunately killed as wild monsters by a righteous man.

If there were no elements to restrain these monsters of unknown origin, it would be quite difficult for ordinary adventurers to deal with them. But although Xing has no elemental power, she has star core power!

Xing didn't feel the need to use the flame gun, so he just took out a baseball bat and easily beat the charging Hilichurl into a horrible mural of flesh and blood and graffiti.

The lady's shield couldn't even block Xing's attack, let alone this Abyss Mage. She instantly fell to the ground with her shield broken, and stars appeared in her eyes.

——It seems that once this shield is broken, their mental power will also be backfired. Compared with March on the Star Train who can unconditionally provide shields to people continuously, and Xing herself who can provide shields over a large area, Teyvat's shield technology obviously still has... a long way to go.

Just as she was about to kill the Abyss Mage, a cold light flashed from the flank, instantly breaking through the Abyss Mage's defense and killing him.

[Grab the kill? Catch the last blow, right? 】

The man was wearing black clothes and a black cape, and was wearing an eye patch like little Amy. He had brilliant blonde hair and a pair of bright blue pupils. Looking at his showy appearance, he was at least the holder of the Eye of God.

The other party looked at Xing warily, and Xing did the same - could this be the suspicious man that Rosalia mentioned, following her younger sister?

"Who are you and where is Yingmei?"

But the other party did not answer, but looked up and down at Xing and the graffiti of the hill people around her with a serious expression:

"Who are you and why do you know Ying?"

"Don't answer my question with a question."

Because he vaguely felt that this guy might be quite capable, Xing decisively switched to the flame gun and gave himself a shield.

[When in doubt, stack your armor and you'll win! ]

The latter's eyes widened slightly in an instant, and his gaze became sharp.

"The power in you... is very strange, as if it is not from this world... Wait..."

The other party seemed to have suddenly guessed and determined something, and looked at Xing with a serious look.

"I see... Could it be... another Adventer?"

"...?"

What the hell?

Xing turned sideways and raised the flaming spear in his hand, aiming at the opponent:

"I'll ask again, where is Yingmei? How did you...get to know her?"

This time, the other party finally didn't answer Xing with a rhetorical question - because Yingmei heard the noise and rushed over.

"Wait a minute! Xing, she's not a bad person!"

Paimon, who was floating behind, also nodded:

"Yeah, yeah, why do you guys look like you're about to fight? And... wow!"

Paimeng looked at the minced meat on the ground and almost fainted from fright. Fortunately, Ying, who was standing beside her, quickly covered her eyes for her.

Xing stepped forward, protecting Yingmei, and continued to look at the blond man:

"Do you know this guy, Ying?"

Yingmei nodded:

"This is Dainsleb, Xing, don't be nervous, he is not an enemy, we are investigating the Abyss Cult together."

Afterwards, Xing learned from Ying that Ying had returned to Mondstadt after the last ceremony of sending the immortals.

Then, because Dainsleb had blond hair like his brother and was dressed like a foreigner, he was noticed by the Adventurer's Association and notified to Ying.

This meeting was the second time the two had met by chance, and both times were because of the Abyss Cult.

The star is a little strange:

"What exactly does this Abyss Cult do? From your description, it doesn't look like they can accomplish anything. A group of hillbillies want to attack Mondstadt, and they even went to steal Lisa's book..."

Dainsleb on the side spoke up:

"That's just an appearance. The cult, just as its name suggests, is trying to use the power of the abyss to control the world and subvert this world ruled by gods. Any force that hinders their goal will be regarded as an enemy by them."

[Wow, what a traditional villain]

"Then...what is the so-called abyss?"

Dainsreb replied:

"It's chaos, it's destruction, it's an unpredictable, crazy mess."

"No, who knows what you're talking about? Is there anything more... specific?"

"If it could be easily understood, this world would have been eroded by the power of the abyss long ago."

Dainsleb shook his head.
