Chapter 261

Not to mention the other party's identity is a Liyue person.

"What does she look like?"

Cloud Retainer asked subconsciously.

"She looks..."

Su Bai was stunned for a few seconds, trying hard to recall.

He spoke: "It's okay, a beautiful face, short light brown hair, with a strand left on the left and right buns."

"Barefoot, not wearing shoes."

Uh...

The group immediately froze in awkwardness.

Not only Zhong Li, who is Su Bai's brother.

Even the several Immortals nearby clearly knew Su Bai had a flaw in his character.

His memory of people is very casual.

People he can remember and know are divided into two types.

First, those with a great connection to Liyue; even the subjects of neighboring Archons with whom he frequently interacts, he can remember.

Second, those who can survive a slash from him and run away, such as the Serpent Archon, whose whereabouts are now unknown, Orobashi.

As for others, Su Bai did not pay much attention.

But once he pays attention, it proves he intends to target the other party's territory.

For example, the Salt Archon Herba, sitting aside drinking tea.

Having arrived in Liyue for a few days.

Herba had never felt life so comfortable.

Her subjects were not ostracized by Liyue; in fact, they were very welcome.

When she returned to the Salt Land proposing to bring her subjects to join Liyue, she even received the support of the vast majority of her subjects.

The fame of the Sword Archon and the Geo Archon can be imagined.

Furthermore, as the Salt Archon, Herba also knew her subjects knew their own weakness, yet still remained by her side without abandoning her.

The current Herba only needs to lead her subjects who have integrated into Liyue to mine refined salt, following Maxius to provide better food for her subjects.

She does not need to be responsible for the main combat.

"The person Su Bai my lord mentioned had an anklet on her ankle."

Herba felt the person Su Bai described was none other than the Dust Archon herself.

She had previously come into contact with Guizhong and naturally knew the other party's appearance.

"I didn't pay attention; at that time everyone was standing in a sea of flowers, where would I pay attention to so much?"

After listening to Su Bai's words, Cloud Retainer rolled her eyes and snorted: "You just said she was barefoot, yet you say you didn't see her ankle."

"Your memory can't be like a fish's, can it?"

This

Truly worthy of Cloud Retainer.

Her tsundere personality has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

While using honorifics to address Su Bai, she still had to complain about him.

However, from the conversation of the several people, it can be seen that their relationship is very harmonious.

Just like Zhong Li, while worrying about Su Bai opening the path of Archon Emperor, he proved his heartfelt support through his actions.

"Does this matter?" Su Bai was confused.

Zhong Li immediately coughed lightly and took over the topic.

"What they want to say is that if the other party has an anklet on her ankle, they fear the other party's identity is exactly the Dust Archon you are looking for, Hagithus."

Su Bai: "....."

"This..."

"And more, our leader."

Cloud Retainer sighed leisurely.

"Hagithus indeed likes to invent small gadgets, but her subjects would not casually let others take her inventions to be deciphered."

"This would be disrespect to the Dust Archon who protects them."

As the words fell.

Cloud Retainer's face suddenly sank, dissatisfied: "What a Dust Archon Hagithus."

"Daring to mock our Liyue Sword Archon."

"Just as the rumors say, that woman is a clever spirit."

"Archon my lord, she is supposed to meet you tomorrow anyway; I think it would be better to capture her on this opportunity."

"We can also take the chance to subdue her Guizhong Collective."

"Cloud Retainer, calm down." Ge Chen Lang Shi Zhen Jun A Ping advised.

Yi Xiao Dao Tian Zhen Jun beside him immediately followed up: "Yes, doing this would damage the prestige of our Sword Archon."

"Even if we threaten, it should be a conversation between their Archon and ours."

"After all, Archon my lord is the one intending to attack that position; unless absolutely necessary, it is better not to spoil the people's hearts."

Herba slurped her tea.

Yi Xiao Dao Tian Zhen Jun's words felt somewhat presumptuous, but she was very grateful for Zhong Li and Su Bai's bluffing towards her previously.

Even at this moment, Herba realized that being timid and cowardly was not a bad thing.

"Just look at the Serpent Archon Orobashi—powerful, fierce, yet still felled by a single sword strike and lost without a trace."

Zhong Li nodded steadily and said, "Brother, I believe A Ping and Yi Xiao speak with reason; we should strive to win them over through virtue whenever possible."

"I have heard that Hagintus is wise, yet possesses a whimsical, childlike cunning."

"There is no need to grow angry and seek trouble with her over this matter."

"While she seeks to draw near to you, we must sincerely endeavor to win her over."

Venti: "Sorry to interrupt, but I feel this Archon War is simply unplayable."

Yae Miko: "Liyue possesses two great powers, the Sword Archon and the Geo Archon, aided by the Adepti in strategy; how can anyone fight them?"

Furina: "Hahaha, at least Su Bai could have been an unruly tyrant, chilling the hearts of his subordinates. But it turns out our Sword Archon, my lord, possesses wisdom alongside his extraordinary strength, not one who acts on sheer will alone; this makes things difficult."

Paimon: "So now Su Bai has the Cooking Archon Maxius and the Salt Archon Havria in his grasp; once the food problem is solved, the people of Liyue can eat their fill and dress warmly."

Lumine: "Food is the first necessity of the people. While the people of Mondstadt still struggle in the storm or snow, unsure what to do, the people of Liyue have already eaten their fill, dressed warmly, and begun researching new recipes."

Jean: "....."

Lisa: "This is the gap, my lord Barbatos."

Venti: "Wait, at this time I fear I am still just a wind spirit; the lands of Mondstadt belong to the Storm King and the Northland Wolf King."

Kujou Sara: "When I studied in Liyue, I saw the Guizhong Ballista. If Su Bai captures the Dust Archon as well, Liyue's defensive facilities will already be built."

Raiden Ei: "Hey, I say you should not always look favorably upon Liyue; our Inazuma is doing very well at this time, truly capable."

Kamisato Ayaka: "Yes, Orobashi was slain by our General's Musou no Hitotachi at the Musoujin Gorge; the power of that single strike was equally world-destroying."

Sangonomiya Kokomi: "Hearing you speak thus, my heart aches."

Furina: "By the way, Kokomi, your Watatsumi Island is ultimately territory of Inazuma; do you not fear the Raiden Shogun will strike you with a blade for saying such things?"

Sangonomiya Kokomi: "Wuwuwuwu..."

Arataki Itto: "I understand. Given that the Serpent Archon Orobashi was struck by Su Bai's brother's sword into Inazuma, only to be slain by the General's blade, it follows that the General's strike is more powerful than Su Bai's brother's sword strike, hahaha..."

Kujou Sara: "(Confused · Collei)"

Collei: "Uh..."

"Late night at the Guizhong Assembly."

"Guizhong tossed and turned, unable to sleep."

"The table was covered with various mechanical toys she had researched during idle moments."

"Indeed, Guizhong even brought out the Guizhong Lock."

"All for the purpose of defeating that arrogant Liyue Sword Archon tomorrow."

"Hmm!"

"After tossing and turning for a while, Guizhong lay flat on the bed."
