Chapter 384

~6 min read 1,007 words

Unfortunately, ever since the bankers from Snezhnaya came, with the backing of the Northland Bank, they forcibly squeezed into Liyue's financial market and beat all those old brands to the ground.

They also kept acquiring money shops, making the branches of the Northland Bank grow.

Causing many local money shops in Liyue to die, which could be called dying miserably in large numbers.

Even the business of the trading companies plummeted.

After all, banks and money shops, these two things conflicted sharply.

If one side grows, the other must weaken.

What the Northland Bank circulates is blood, tears, and wails.

It doesn't matter if they wail or not.

So that Lord De'an was already of such an age, yet he fell into that kind of situation.

The money shop was gone, and the trading business was miserable.

There were many people like him.

The Fatui only needed to win over a batch of trading companies and suppress another batch to easily manipulate them.

Their debt collectors would often be dispatched to collect debts.

The competition in Liyue could be called astonishingly large.

The water is very deep.

Lumine realized this deeply.

She also saw young people from Qingce Village going to Liyue Harbor to make a living.

Leaving only some old people in Qingce Village.

Whether it was The Chasm or the Blackcliff Forge, most of them were manual labor.

If it weren't for having no other choice, who would want to go to a weird place like The Chasm?

Is it fun?

The strange rumors among the people about this place were not just once or twice.

However, with the Fatui's previous actions, that Tianquan Ningguang was also frantically cleaning up and suppressing the Fatui.

Causing the Fatui to be eaten out of a lot of their market.

The losses were huge.

Retreating in a sorry state at an astonishing speed.

And facing Lumine's questions, Yanfei smiled and explained.

Although The Chasm was sealed, there were actually still some people working inside.

There were other passages.

Not to mention they had official permission this time.

And this time, Lumine and the others would meet an acquaintance.

This left Lumine very strange, who?

And when they arrived deep in The Chasm, Lumine also saw a few people not far away under Yanfei's lead.

Even the Yaksha Sage they had met before was inside.

However, when she saw the person in the middle, Lumine's expression trembled violently.

Even Paimon widened her eyes.

"Ye Ruo?!?"

"Are you the person in charge of this commission?"

"You shouldn't be trying to scam us, right!"

That was what was said.

Ye Ruo almost rolled his eyes.

"What are you saying, when have I ever specifically tried to scam you?"

"Think carefully, hasn't it been the opposite, that I have been helping you two all along."

Lumine was also speechless.

Thinking back to the past.

It seemed there was nothing wrong with that.

And seeing that everyone had arrived, Ye Ruo also clapped his hands, letting everyone come closer.

Then he also incidentally introduced a mysterious woman from the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

"Her name is Yelan, she is a very excellent personnel, from, um, the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

"You all get along well; those who can be called over by me are all excellent people."

Yelan, holding a bow and arrow, also nodded politely to everyone.

Of course, she was also curious about Ye Ruo.

How should she put it, as Ningguang's special intelligence direct officer, she could also be called a partner 0....

Yelan naturally knew about this person Ye Ruo.

He was the man Ningguang could not forget.

He seemed to have many astonishing secrets on him.

The information about Ye Ruo in Mondstadt was collected by Yelan, and then handed to Ningguang.

Before, she was still carrying out secret operations in a foreign country; after the matter of the Vortex Demon God ended, she also returned to Liyue.

And she conveniently cleaned up all the Fatui occupying the Yanshang Teahouse.

Yelan is a person who runs around everywhere.

Traveling in various countries.

She had been to almost every country.

So disguising herself could be called handy.

For example, Sumeru mercenary, Fontaine adventurer, Mondstadt fisherman, Inazuma light novel writer, Snezhnaya merchant, etc.

Disguising herself, it could be called vivid and lifelike.

Her skills were very high.

Others found it very hard to recognize her.

If you don't believe it, go ask those pharmacists and you will know.

And the others, Yanfei, Xiao, and Lumine, were all on her record handbook, a special attention list.

They were all capable people with real skills.

And Ye Ruo saw that everyone was getting along quite harmoniously, so he cleared his throat and began to talk about the origin.

"The reason for forming this team this time is to find the whereabouts of a Yaksha who went missing deep in The Chasm hundreds of years ago."

"Electro Yaksha Bosacius, his title back then was Marshal Tengshe."

"He was a general."

"A Yaksha?"

Hearing this, Yelan was the first to react.

"I heard that during the period when monsters invaded The Chasm, there was a nameless Yaksha who fought alongside the Millelith 4.7; so it refers to that Bosacius?"

"Yes."

Ye Ruo continued.

"And according to my intelligence, this Yaksha should have led the remaining Millelith to lure the monsters into the depths of the Chasm, thereby sealing them there."

"Among them, it wasn't just Bosacius, but also Yelan's two ancestors; they carried the Tawei Instrument, and in the end, only one person returned, and even then, they became crazy."

"That sorcerer named Boyang and the Tawei Instrument were both lost here."

Yelan:???

This left Yelan in shock; had this Ye Ruo specifically investigated her information?

So that was it; was this the reason he specifically called her along.

"In reality, there is a mysterious space deep underground here; it should be near that pillar, let's go."

"Be careful, there is black mud everywhere here, and it is getting more and more."
