Chapter 225

"What is your objective?"

Tartaglia wore an innocent expression, spread his hands, and said, "I just don't want to see innocent people get dragged into this. The Secret Fatui do act too crudely at times, eager for quick success, which gives everyone a bad impression. I hope to turn that situation around."

Seeing how sincere he sounded, Lumine couldn't help but waver slightly.

This person really seemed to think that way.

She exchanged a look with Paimon and decided to trust Tartaglia's words for the time being.

After all, neither of them had a better option; only by clearing their names first would they have a chance to explore the mystery and approach the truth of the matter.

Rather than being led by the nose the whole time, not even knowing when they were being used.

Staring at the "Sigil of Permission," Lumine finally took it.

"I'll believe you once for now."

After tucking the sigil away, taking advantage of the fact that the Millelith couldn't catch up, she whispered to Paimon.

"Let's go, to Jueyun Karst to see the adepti and clarify the cause and effect."

"Right!"

Taking one last look at the sincere Tartaglia, Lumine and Paimon ran quickly toward the part of Liyue Harbor that hadn't been sealed off yet.

Leaving behind only Tartaglia, who wore a strange smile at the corner of his mouth.

…………

On the other side!

Not mentioning the two-person errand-running duo meeting with the Harbinger "Childe."

Hearing Luo Li and Raiden Makoto's group remained where they were.

Noelle said cautiously, "What should we do now?"

They had originally come to Liyue to see the grandeur of the Rite of Descension and the true face of the Geo Archon.

But now, with this sudden encounter, the situation that had emerged left people unable to react at all.

Watching Lady Ganyu leave, Eula and Noelle were speechless for a moment.

Even though Lady Ganyu was gone, Hearing Luo Li didn't expose himself, continuing to put on a heavy-hearted appearance.

"You stay here; I'm going to investigate something."

With such a demeanor, even Raiden Makoto couldn't tell the difference for a moment.

Although she felt something was a bit off, she still followed his words and said, "Go ahead, we'll be fine here."

No matter how they searched, Liyue couldn't possibly place the suspicion on them.

After all, Lady Ganyu knew the identities of Hearing Luo Li and Raiden Makoto, and besides, they were friends from Mondstadt.

And the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt had just had his Gnosis taken, making him a victim.

Looking at Raiden Makoto's concerned gaze, the apology Hearing Luo Li felt for acting flashed and vanished; he had been coerced by that guy Morax, the problem wasn't his.

Thinking this way, he immediately felt justified.

"Then I'll go look for clues for now. You stay in Lady Ganyu's villa; if you want to go out for a stroll, that's fine too."

After instructing Raiden Makoto and the others, Hearing Luo Li left without looking back.

Descending from Yujing Terrace.

Naturally, he wouldn't encounter the same situation as Lumine; once the Millelith learned of Hearing Hearing Luo Li identity, they opened the path one after another, letting him enter Master Feiyun Slope. ===== CHAPTER 227 =====
