Chapter 312: Lumine jumping from one pit to another!

Before that, there was no need to tell Lei Dianying this news.

If reality wasn't what he thought, wouldn't that just be making her happy for nothing?

After being lost for a while, Lei Dianying finally recovered.

"Since you plan to leave, Master, where are you going? I'll go with you."

Floating on the Thousand-Gate Empty Boat, self-isolated for five hundred years, Lei Dianying had long had enough of loneliness.

She knew she couldn't stop Luo Li from leaving, so she planned to follow him.

This urgent sense of following came from insecurity, which Luo Li could understand very well, so he didn't refuse at first.

He considered for a moment and said: "I have two friends I haven't known for long who are currently in Ritou. If you don't want to stay here, come and meet them with me."

Lei Dianying agreed immediately.

No matter what they were doing, even if it was just sitting under a tree in a daze, as long as it was with Master, she would be satisfied.

Agreement reached, Luo Li immediately had Lei Dianying pack the things she needed to take and temporarily close the Thousand-Gate Empty Boat.

…………

Ritou!

Even though it had only been a few days since he left, when Luo Li returned again, he found that the atmosphere permeating the island had become quite strange.

Although Ritou was already oppressive, now, besides oppression, there was added tension and seriousness.

Not knowing the reason, he found Lumine and Paimon, who were in a state of worry, through Kurisu.

The tool duo was originally a bit sad; a good plan had encountered pig teammates.

Who would have thought Luo Li would return.

The two seemed to have seen a savior.

"Mr. Luo Li, you're finally back!"

Paimon was overjoyed, thinking that if he came up with an idea, all problems would be solved.

Heaven knows how many methods the two had racked their brains to think of these days, but each one had been overturned and denied.

"What's wrong with you two?"

Luo Li was a bit surprised, looking at the two squatting under the maple tree in self-isolation, and couldn't help but find it funny.

Lumine just wanted to explain everything that happened since he left, but looked up and found a cold, mature woman following behind him.

Paimon instinctively asked: "Who is she?"

Luo Li replied: "The owner of the Thousand-Gate Empty Boat, and also my former student. You can call her Lei Dianying."

"Eh, is she the legendary Tengu?"

Learning that she was the owner of the villa, Paimon felt exceptionally curious, even forgetting the questions she wanted to ask.

Circling around Lei Dianying a few times, the little one found that she didn't seem to be any different from a human.

Well, she was prettier than the average person, that was true.

"Hey, Miss Lei Dianying, I heard there are many treasures in the Thousand-Gate Empty Boat, is that true?"

While being scrutinized, Lei Dianying was also sizing up the tool duo, while using a subtle gaze to verify with Luo Li whether these were students he had taken in modern times.

Then she received a negative answer.

For some reason, Lei Dianying breathed a sigh of relief, perhaps worried that someone would share Master's favor.

Meeting the little one's curious gaze, she rarely showed a faint smile: "The treasures inherited by the Tengu clan for thousands of years are indeed mostly stored in my villa. Since you are Master's friends, why not visit my residence when you have time and pick one or two, just as a meeting gift from me."

"Boss is generous!"

Paimon's eyes were completely filled with the image of Mora.

Look, this is the real local tycoon; she wants to give treasures as soon as they meet. The people they met in Mondstadt and Liyue before were really stingy.

What Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, Liyue Qixing, Anemo Archon, Geo Archon—each title sounded bigger than the last, each richer than the last, but they gave nothing!

Although Lumine herself didn't ask, couldn't those big shots have some insight?

Little Paimon secretly slandered, but now she had finally met a reliable person, which was gratifying.

Lumine didn't even have time to refuse before she saw Paimon rubbing her hands and agreeing with a grin, and immediately glared at her.

Lei Dianying found it interesting and probably understood why Master would walk with them.

"Alright, now you can tell me why you were frowning just now."

Hearing Luo Li mention this, the two immediately drooped their heads, looking at each other, as if signaling the other to speak.

They had intended to complete the task beautifully using psychological warfare, but an accident happened halfway; how could they say this?

Although the problem step had nothing to do with them, but rather Kurisu not watching Harrison well.

After some shilly-shallying, Paimon, the "external vocal organ," finally told the ins and outs of the story.

She laid out the whole series of plans, including how they intimidated Werner, got on good terms with the Kanjou Commission, and prepared to blackmail Kujou Kamaji.

It had to be said that although there were many loopholes, Luo Li also felt it was not a bad method.

After all, any normal person wouldn't hide an account book under a rock by the sea; if it could be easily found just by tracking, that would be too much of a joke. ===== CHAPTER 314 =====
