Chapter 144

"The situation is resolved; let us return."

No one could read any expression from Azhaamar's face, which looked as cold and unmoving as a mask.

Even Greater Lord Rukkkhadevata found it hard to discern what the Dendro Archon was thinking at this moment.

However, Greater Lord Rukkkhadevata was certain that the Dendro Archon was definitely holding back his anger.

"Azhaamar..."

Greater Lord Rukkkhadevata wanted to say something, but Azhaamar raised his hand to stop her.

"No need to speak; I am fine."

"Besides, our mission this time was simply to protect the border from invasion."

"In that sense, we have achieved our goal."

Azhaamar's eyes gazed toward the direction Jiang Yan had departed, his expression faint.

"However, the grudge settled today..."

"... I will collect it all in the future!"

The Dendro Archon murmured these words.

From this moment on, Jiang Yan was successfully written into the Dendro Archon's little black book.

And Jiang Yan, after circling around the Chenyu Vale, having successfully scared away the Adepti who were gathered at the border of the Fontaine Marshes to watch, returned to Chenyu Vale with the energy sphere slung over his shoulder, quite satisfied.

"Why have you returned again?"

Ruotuo, who was cleaning up the battlefield, saw Jiang Yan flying in from a distance.

Although his heart was as clear as a mirror, knowing exactly what Jiang Yan had gone to do.

But now was not the time to pretend ignorance.

"Heh heh, no reason; I just took a stroll and suddenly felt like coming back to check."

Jiang Yan offered a casual explanation, not caring whether Ruotuo believed it or not.

With such a reason, I doubt anyone would believe it, right?

"Hah."

As expected, Ruotuo wore an expression as if Jiang Yan were joking with him.

If you're going to make up an excuse to brush me off, at least make it a reliable one.

"Alright, alright; seeing that nothing went wrong with you all puts my mind at ease."

After Jiang Yan finished speaking, he prepared to slip away.

Ruotuo looked utterly speechless.

Come on, if you were just passing by, you were passing by; what do you mean by saying that seeing us unharmed puts your mind at ease?

With me, Ruotuo, here, what could possibly go wrong?

Ridiculous!

Jiang Yan did not know that Ruotuo's mind was constantly roasting him internally.

He pressed his right foot against the ground, and his entire body soared into the air.

Immediately afterward, four small black tornadoes appeared behind Jiang Yan, hanging on his back like wings.

In an instant, Jiang Yan transformed into a streak of flowing light, flying toward the direction of Liyue Harbor.

However, to prevent himself from losing focus and failing to stabilize the sphere in his hand.

Jiang Yan held the sphere with both arms as if hugging a cushion, which made stabilizing it easier, and then sped toward the direction of Liyue Harbor.

With this hugging posture, he felt inexplicably like a bomber.

Should I make a trip to Inazuma and launch a Teyvat version of Little Boy?

Jiang Yan thought with a mischievous sense of humor.

But thinking is one thing; carrying it out is another.

Jiang Yan was not so inhumane as to go that far.

Meanwhile, Morax, who had gone ahead, upon returning to Liyue Harbor, quickly summoned Cloud Retainer and Lady Guizhong.

After listening to Morax's account, Cloud Retainer and Lady Guizhong exchanged a glance, both wearing Solemn expressions on their faces.

"Where is that brat? How dare he!"

Lady Guizhong slammed the table fiercely, questioning Morax.

The last time, it was because Jiang Yan had taken it upon himself to fight Andrius.

Who would have thought this little rascal was becoming bolder and bolder, even daring to touch the energy storm generated by the self-detonation of more than a dozen Adepti!

If we don't discipline him now, won't this kid end up reaching for the sky later?!

Cloud Retainer's eyes also held anger; obviously, she was extremely furious at Jiang Yan's reckless behavior.

Was he not treating his own life as anything?!

One must know, if his peculiar ability had failed to take effect, what would he have faced?!

He actually wants my beloved disciple to remain a widow while her husband is still alive?!

The more Cloud Retainer thought about it, the angrier she became.

Morax, looking at the two furious figures before him, took a silent step backward.

Sorry, Jiang Yan.

You are on your own...
