Chapter 618: Yelan, Yanfei, and the Inazuma duo in the depths of the Chasm!

~6 min read 1,093 words

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

This guy was a tsundere, liking to keep things bottled up in his heart without saying them out loud, speaking coldly, but in reality, his actions were always for the good of others.

"Let's set off too!"

After bidding farewell to 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.

"It's really strange, how come both the Abyss Order and the Fatui are 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 collected the Fatui's diary, preparing to hand it over to Keqing or Ningguang when they returned to Liyue Harbor later.

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

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

After reaching a consensus, the two continued to head 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 here.

"Sure enough, this place contains incredible secrets!" 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 was once an ancient kingdom on Dragonspine, which was ultimately sealed by the Skyfrost Nail.

The underground of The Chasm might be the same.

Although there was no evidence, Paimon instinctively believed 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 quite a few figures moving under the Skyfrost Nail.

The two immediately became vigilant. Liyue officials had not yet opened The Chasm, let alone the underground depths.

Without a doubt, 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 and prepared to go up and see what was going on.

After getting closer, the two were surprised to find that they actually knew these people.

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

Appearing before their eyes were exactly the four of them. Among them, Itto and Yelan seemed to have had a conflict and were glaring at each other and belittling each other, while Yanfei was acting as a peacemaker, constantly saying something to both sides.

Lumine and Paimon paused and hurriedly approached.

"Yanfei, you are here too!" Paimon greeted them for the first time.

Seemingly not expecting that there would be other people arriving at this place, the arguing group of four suddenly stopped and looked at the newcomers vigilantly.

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, unable to even mediate between the arguing sides, and asked subconsciously.

"We wanted to ask that too."

Paimon stood with her hands on her hips and asked back: "We are personnel who obtained the Qixing's permission to come here alone to explore secrets! 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 older sister with short, gradient-dyed hair swayed her waist and hips, as if naturally possessing a certain allure, and said, "She is not wrong; the traveler has received special permission from the Liyue Qixing to come here and investigate some secrets."

So that's how it is.

Yanfei suddenly realized and didn't ask what the secrets were.

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

As a half-adeptus, she was also quite familiar with Yelan and knew the rules of Liyue officials very well.

However, this made Arataki Itto awkward.

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 somewhat apologetically; after all, the fewer people who knew about the Archaic Stone of Remembrance, the better.

Lumine expressed understanding and finally looked at the Inazuma duo.

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

Yanfei was somewhat troubled and puzzled: "Well, I already said, no need for repayment; it was just a casual favor before!"

Itto refuted strictly: "No, I have never owed anyone a favor; 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 all 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 things like there wasn't a sign outside saying no entry, and with a lot of unreasonable entanglement, it truly made people worry to the point of exhaustion.

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

Making up her mind, she prepared to negotiate with the other party with good words one last time; if they 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 somewhat tricky and didn't know where to start persuading. ===== CHAPTER 620 =====
