Chapter 136

~6 min read 1,110 words

In fact, Jean had long wanted Noelle to learn not to live for others.

Her behavior of disregarding herself for others was very dangerous and abnormal.

Once, Noelle broke into the snowy mountains alone to rescue an adventurer, braving the storm for a full half day before finding the guy who was about to freeze to death, and after much difficulty, she managed to bring the other party out of the snowy mountains while starving and cold.

Afterward, she collapsed from exhaustion and had a high fever for three full days; fortunately, everything was safe in the end.

In order not to let Noelle fall into danger, Jean and everyone in the Knights had to "invent" some safe work to give her, avoiding contact with danger.

Now that Noelle had personally proposed to temporarily resign, Jean would not only not stop her, but would instead praise her greatly.

So much so that she didn't even ask when she would be back, telling her to relax for a while longer.

Seeing that Acting Grand Master Jean was so easy to talk to and encouraged her to work hard, Noelle felt embarrassed instead.

"Then... then I'll leave first."

"Mm, go ahead."

Watching Noelle leave lightly with a smile, Jean returned to her work state.

…………

Knights of Favonius headquarters!

Until Noelle left, Hearing Luo Li didn't understand what she went to do.

After testing many knights and slacking off for the day, he planned to return to his manor leisurely.

But while passing through the Anemo Archon Plaza, he saw many Fatui questioning passersby, and he didn't know what they were up to; in his impression, there didn't seem to be this scene.

Hearing Luo Li glanced at it and withdrew his gaze, not interested in these things.

On the other side.

Discovering that others were looking at them like fools again when they said they hadn't seen the back view in the picture, Fatui personnel Daryl and Boris sighed, feeling very tired, and let the passersby leave.

"No, it would be strange if this could be found!"

Daryl had gone from the anger of being despised at the beginning to being numb now.

Boris was powerless about this; this was an order issued from above. Let alone the two of them as ordinary personnel, even Fatui diplomats Mikhail and Lyudmila had to put in effort.

It was said that Fatui attaché Anastasia was also asking many high-ranking Mondstadt officials.

"Forget it, keep looking. It'll be troublesome if we can't find him."

Boris had lingering fears; this was an order personally issued by the Harbinger, and if there were no results, he was afraid he wouldn't have a very happy life in the future.

Thinking he had had similar experiences, otherwise he wouldn't be so cautious.

Daryl sighed and echoed. Just as Boris was about to find the next person, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a certain back view in the Anemo Archon Plaza.

He felt a jolt subconsciously and instantly compared it with the drawing in his hand.

"Like... too like! Daryl, I think I've found him!"

Daryl hurriedly looked in the direction of his companion's gaze.

Looking at Hearing Hearing Luo Li retreating back, the two were afraid of making a mistake and compared it several times until they confirmed they hadn't misidentified him.

That extraordinary temperament, and the image that could be felt even if it was blurry, were exactly the same.

Ordinary people couldn't imitate it at all, which was why they could persistently keep asking. During this period, bold people who tried to impersonate him were weeded out immediately.

Feeling they had achieved great merit, the two cooperated; one went to search for information on who that person was, and the other hurriedly reported the news.

This was a great merit that could catch the eye of La Signora; if it were snatched away by someone else, wouldn't they regret it until their guts turned green.

Thinking of this, the two hurriedly took action.

…………

Fatui secret stronghold!

Playing with the Gnosis in her hand and listening to the flattery of her subordinates below, La Signora didn't feel happy at all.

If it were before, assuming she had successfully snatched the Gnosis from the Anemo Archon, she would definitely be proud of herself.

But knowing that a person similar to Hearing Luo Li existed, even the achievement brought by completing the mission couldn't cover up her anxiety.

Throwing the Gnosis unconsciously, La Signora's expression was indifferent. Her subordinates discovered that their superior seemed indifferent to the flattery, so their voices gradually lowered.

You look at me, I look at you, and none of them could figure out what was going on.

Wasn't this a moment to celebrate?

This unspeakable silence wasn't broken until Boris rushed into the stronghold without stopping, shouting loudly.

"Harbinger! Found him! I found him!"

The Fatui guard standing in the hall stepped out and just wanted to scold him, what kind of place is this that allows you to shout here?!

Before the words were even spoken, he was slapped away by the awakened La Signora, falling to the side and fainting. Others hurriedly withdrew the steps they had just taken.

They all felt lucky that they reacted slowly, otherwise the one injured would be themselves.

Staring at Boris, La Signora leaned forward waiting for his answer; this impatience was obvious.

Thinking that if the answer wasn't satisfactory, his end might be even worse than that brother just now.

Boris swallowed his saliva, only able to pray that he hadn't misidentified him.

"Reporting to the Harbinger, the person you are looking for has been found. Through my persistent searching, I learned that his name is Hearing Luo Li."

The moment she heard this name, La Signora knew her guess was correct, and the nervousness in her heart dissipated in an instant.

He really wasn't dead. Also, it was impossible for there to be a second person in heaven or on earth who could be so like him.

Boris originally wanted to wait for the Harbinger to ask, who knew he would suddenly see tears like broken threads gushing from the corners of La Signora's eyes, but what was surprising was that the corners of her mouth outlined an incomparably joyful smile.

"Is this sad or happy?!"

Boris slandered secretly, and together with other Fatui personnel, he looked at his nose and heart, pretending not to see it. It was the first time he had seen La Signora so moved.

It was hard to imagine that La Signora, who was as cold as ice, would also have a day when her emotions erupted.
