Chapter 346: Yelan, Yanfei, and the Inazuma duo in the depths of the Chasm!

~6 min read 1,113 words

Lumine felt it was nothing; she was long used to Xiao's cold exterior and warm interior.

This guy was just a tsundere, liking to keep words bottled up inside without saying them, cold and sharp-tongued on the surface, but his actions were always for the good of others.

"Let's set off too!"

After parting with Xiao, the two followed behind and headed toward the depths of the cave.

While passing through the Nameless Ruins, the two also discovered traces of the Fatui.

Including the diaries they left here, and traces of their visits on some strange clock towers.

"Really strange, why are both the Abyss Order and the Fatui in The Chasm." Paimon couldn't figure it out no matter what.

This was a mine that Liyue paid great attention to; how could anyone come here to plot some conspiracies.

Lumine shook her head, recorded many things, and also packed up the Fatui's diary, preparing to hand it over to Keqing or Ningguang when they returned to Liyue Harbor later.

With solid evidence, presumably the Fatui would have to pay some price to let it pass.

"Forget it, let's find the traces of Mr. Luo Li first."

After reaching a consensus, the two continued to set off toward the depths.

Not long after, after passing through countless narrow passages and underground cavities, the two finally arrived at a relatively wide area.

"Lumine, look quickly, that's the Skyfrost Nail!"

Discovering the ice-blue stone pillar hanging in mid-air for the first time, Paimon couldn't help but shout.

Lumine looked in the direction of the sound, her brows furrowing slightly.

"It really is."

Not having expected that they could actually run into the Skyfrost Nail they had seen on Dragonspine Mountain here.

"Sure enough, there is an incredible secret in this place!" Paimon had already smelled some kind of scent.

According to speculation, she believed that this Skyfrost Nail should be related to that lost inverted city.

Just as there once existed an ancient kingdom on Dragonspine Mountain, which was eventually sealed by the Skyfrost Nail, ending its civilization.

The underground of The Chasm might also be the same.

Although there was no evidence, Paimon instinctively believed that her guess was correct.

"Eh, wait, it seems like there are people below there...?"

Thinking she had smelled the scent of a secret, before Paimon could make the next speculation, she saw many figures moving under the Skyfrost Nail.

The two immediately became vigilant; the Liyue authorities had not yet opened The Chasm, let alone the deep underground.

There was no doubt that the only people who could be here were a few officials; looking over there, there were at least four people, seemingly arguing about something.

Lumine and Paimon looked at each other, preparing to go up and see what was going on.

When they got closer, the two were surprised to find that they actually knew these people.

"That is... Yanfei, Yelan, Itto, and Kuki Shinobu?"

What came into view were exactly the four of them; among them, Itto and Yelan seemed to have had a conflict, glaring at each other and belittling each other, while Yanfei acted as a peacemaker, constantly saying something to both sides.

Lumine and Paimon paused and hurriedly leaned in.

"Yanfei, you are here too!" Paimon greeted first.

Seemingly not expecting that there would be other people arriving here, the arguing group of four suddenly stopped and looked at the newcomers with vigilance.

Until they discovered it was the Traveler duo, the few relaxed their guard.

"So it's the Traveler, why are you here?"

Seeing the two, Yanfei was very surprised, and couldn't even bother to mediate between the arguing parties, subconsciously asking.

"We were the ones who wanted to ask."

Paimon put her hands on her hips and asked back: "We are personnel who have obtained the permission of the the Liyue Qixing to come here alone to explore secrets! That Miss Yelan over there can testify for us!"

Yanfei was surprised that they actually knew Yelan, and hurriedly cast her gaze toward Yelan.

The dashing, mature woman with short, gradient-dyed hair swayed her hips, as if naturally exuding a sense of allure, and said, "She is not wrong; the Traveler has received special permission from the Liyue the Liyue Qixing to come here and investigate certain secrets."

So that was how it was.

Yanfei had a sudden realization and didn't ask what secrets they were.

Since it was a secret, it was better for outsiders not to know.

As a half-adeptus, she could also be considered familiar with Yelan, and knew the rules of the Liyue authorities very well.

But in this way, Arataki Itto was left in an awkward position.

Looking at it this way, it seemed like he was the only outsider.

Looking at Yanfei, the Oni youth, and Kuki Shinobu, Lumine asked very strangely: "What about you?"

Yanfei said lightly: "I came here to find something; the specific situation involves a commission and cannot be told to everyone."

The latter sentence she said with some apology; after all, the matter of the Archaic Stone Slate was better known by fewer people.

Lumine expressed understanding and finally looked at the Inazuma duo.

The two from the Arataki Gang looked at each other, and finally Itto coughed and said: "I came here to help benefactor Yanfei; she helped a lot, I must repay her!"

Yanfei was a bit troubled and confused: "...That, I already said, no need for repayment, it was just a casual favor before!"

Itto refuted sternly: "No, I have never owed anyone a favor before, I must repay it!"

He was just such a stubborn person; once he recognized a reason, he would never overturn it.

Yanfei felt powerless.

On the other side, Yelan also had a headache; the reason they had argued before was entirely because Itto and Kuki Shinobu had broken into The Chasm on their own.

This place buried many secrets and dangers; outsiders without permission must never be let in.

But Itto kept saying something about how there was no sign outside saying not to enter, and a whole lot of nonsense, which was truly a headache.

Yelan was even thinking about whether to forcibly drive these two out.

Having made up her mind, she prepared to negotiate with the other party with good words one last time; if they still didn't listen, then don't blame her for taking action.

On the other side, Lumine and Paimon gradually understood the ins and outs under Yanfei's narration, such as the conflict between Yelan and Itto.

After understanding, they also felt a bit tricky, not knowing where to start persuading. ===== CHAPTER 620 =====
