Chapter 597

Outside the flower garden stood a beautiful young girl with green hair and a young Oni man standing before her, looking around with the behavior of a street urchin.

He felt it was normal for Kuki Shinobu to appear here, but why was Arataki Itto here, and how did he get here?

If he remembered correctly, he should have been undergoing training under Mikoshi Chiyo in Inazuma—oh wait, by the timeline, he had already been handed over to Kujou Sara.

Now, this guy had actually appeared in Liyue, which was truly surprising.

While seeing the first and second-in-command of the Arataki Gang, the two also discovered Hearing Hearing Luo Li figure.

Kuki Shinobu brought the boss over and greeted him first.

"Good morning, Your Highness. I didn't expect to see you here too."

Hearing Luo Li nodded slightly and asked, "What business do you have with Granny Ping?"

Arataki Itto, knowing his identity, shrank back slightly and said, "Ahem, we are mainly looking for our benefactor, Yanfei. We heard she is Granny Ping's granddaughter, but we couldn't find her whereabouts, so we had to come and ask the old lady."

After speaking, he saw the kind Granny Ping beside Hearing Luo Li and his eyes lit up.

"This must be Granny Ping, then."

"So that's how it is. You are friends of Yanfei."

Granny Ping looked the two over and turned to Hearing Luo Li, asking, "Your Highness knows them too?"

"Two little ones from Inazuma. One came for a graduation exam, and as for the other... aren't you supposed to be training under Kujou Sara?"

Hearing Luo Li looked at Arataki Itto, and the guy immediately began to explain.

"Shinobu is graduating, so as the boss, I naturally have to come and congratulate her, so I asked Kujou Sara for some time off..."

This reason couldn't be called problematic; it was rare for Itto to have such thoughtfulness, which was truly gratifying.

"Why do you call Yanfei your benefactor?" Hearing Luo Li was quite curious about this.

"Ahem, I wasn't very familiar with Liyue when I first arrived and caused some trouble. If it weren't for our benefactor, I probably would have been thrown into prison, so... I want to find her to repay the favor."

With Arataki Itto's thick skin, he still felt quite embarrassed saying this.

Good grief, causing trouble as soon as he arrives—truly worthy of you.

Strong limbs and a simple mind is the best annotation for Itto.

Understanding the cause and effect, Granny Ping did not comment on his decision but shook her head and said, "You've come at a bad time. Yanfei has already headed toward The Chasm and is not in Liyue Harbor."

"Ah?"

Itto was shocked; she had actually already run off.

Afterward, he learned from Granny Ping that Yanfei had already set off yesterday, and he couldn't help but feel great regret—if only he had come earlier.

"But it's not a big problem now. Shinobu, let's go, we're going to that... Chasm place too."

"Boss, The Chasm," the green-haired girl reminded him helplessly.

"Ah right, The Chasm! Hahaha!"

Another burst of healthy and hearty laughter.

Having received the specific information, Arataki Itto did not linger and prepared to set off immediately.

1.7 To repay the favor, he intended to fight a protracted war; even if the benefactor said no reward was needed, he was still stubbornly planning to find an opportunity to return the favor.

Calling him single-minded would be giving him too much credit.

"Your Highness, we take our leave."

Unlike the boss who ran off excitedly, Kuki Shinobu first respectfully bid farewell to Hearing Luo Li before preparing to leave.

"Perhaps we will meet again in The Chasm before long."

"Eh?"

Not understanding the meaning of Hearing Hearing Luo Li words, Kuki Shinobu paused, and just as she was about to ask why, she saw His Highness wave for her to leave.

Kuki Shinobu had to suppress the doubts in her heart and chase after the boss's retreating figure.

Watching the two figures disappear completely into the crowd, Hearing Luo Li bid farewell to Granny Ping and left the bustling Yujing Terrace with the relics belonging to Lady Guizhong.
