Chapter 498

Mu Yang pulled Keqing into his embrace and said in a gentle tone, "Do not treat the Adepti as fools. Since there is an opportunity to become stronger, they certainly will not miss it. Besides their periods of seclusion, they are always clearing away the filth of the Abyss."

Beneath Jueyun Karst, there are also Abyssal passages, though they are small-scale ones that you humans are unaware of.

They are usually cleared by the Three-Eyed Five-Spun Adepti.

Moreover, the quantity of the Archon's lingering resentment is also quite significant."

Hearing Mu Yang's explanation, Keqing fell silent once more; it seemed the Adepti were always silently guarding Liyue in places unknown to humanity.

"What is the name of this sword?" Keqing asked, leaning against Mu Yang's chest.

"Thunderlight of the Rising Mist; it is the name Ei chose. If you do not like it, you can change it; no one will say anything.

As long as you like it yourself..."

"Thunderlight of the Rising Mist?" Keqing whispered, holding the sword in her hand.

It is a very nice name, and it has a distinct Inazuman style.

However, since this sword was forged by Mu Yang and Lei Dianying together, Keqing could understand the name.

She would not be dissatisfied with Lei Dianying over this; there was no enmity between them, and besides, they both shared the same man. They could chat a few times in the group chat, and Keqing would not mindlessly reject the other's good intentions.

Regardless, she could not make things difficult for Mu Yang, could she?

"Alright, put the sword away; I have missed you," Mu Yang said, blowing a puff of hot air into Keqing's ear.

Keqing cast a reproachful glance at Mu Yang; was this all the guy thought about from morning till night?

She sniffed; Mu Yang had a faint, clean scent of trees on him that felt incredibly comfortable. Having not seen him for several days, Keqing had missed him dearly.

Keqing put the Thunderlight of the Rising Mist away, turned around, draped her arms around his neck, and said with deep affection, "I have missed you too."

The next day, Keqing took a rare day off from work.

There was no helping it; Mu Yang was the type to take a mile when given an inch. While Keqing was trying to properly "reward" him, Mu Yang pushed his luck and made her feel his "warm-heartedness" firsthand.

Even now, Keqing had sustained no small amount of injury.

However, given the current situation in Guili Plains, Keqing had planned her tasks well in advance, so there was no issue even if she didn't appear for a day or two.

As for Mu Yang, he was chased away by Keqing early in the morning; in her eyes, he was too ruthless!

She was worried that if he pushed his luck again today, she wouldn't need to work tomorrow at all.

Besides, Mu Yang seemed to have many things to handle, so it was better for him to leave as soon as possible!

When Mu Yang returned home, Kamisato Ayaka, Shenhe, Lumine, and Paimon were already eating breakfast.

"Mu Yang, you're back?" Seeing him, Paimon greeted him after hastily swallowing her food.

"Yes!" Mu Yang nodded slightly, sat down directly beside Kamisato Ayaka, picked up a meat bun to take a bite, and then said to Lumine, "When I met Tartaglia and Rosalyne yesterday, I recommended you to them.

They will consider letting you become a Fatui Harbinger later."

"What? Let the Traveler become a Fatui Harbinger?" Paimon was stunned upon hearing this.

They had been fighting the Fatui to the death before; although their relationship with Tartaglia was decent, becoming a Fatui Harbinger was simply too exaggerated.

"Well, the Fatui are a decent force, aren't they?" Mu Yang chuckled. "Don't forget that the Jester is from Khaenri'ah; he will have a better understanding of your brother.

Of course, most importantly, you don't necessarily have to complete the tasks the Fatui give you!

Just follow your own mood.

You can just use the Fatui to deal with the Abyss Order."
