Chapter 343

"Then where is he now?"

Lumine asked Morax.

"I don’t know."

Morax did not intend to tell Lumine and Paimon the truth.

After all, Jiang Yan has serious business to attend to by going to the Dark Sea this time.

If Lumine and the others knew Jiang Yan was going to the Dark Sea and followed him there, it would be counterproductive if it affected Jiang Yan.

"Immortal Wood Spirit just told me he was leaving Liyue to handle some things, but he didn’t tell me the specific things."

Morax explained to Lumine and Paimon.

And Jiang Yan just watched the conversation between them quietly.

He suddenly felt that there was nothing fun about this.

Mainly because the fun scenes he had imagined didn’t appear.

Morax, this guy, is just too steady.

The traps he set for him were all quietly resolved by his words or actions.

"Oh my, boring, boring."

Jiang Yan stretched, looking bored.

Because Morax didn’t reveal anything specific about Immortal Wood Spirit to Lumine and Paimon.

So in the end, Lumine and Paimon, who didn’t gain much, could only plan to leave here for now.

"Traveler, without news of Immortal Wood Spirit, what should we do now?"

Paimon’s tone was also a bit lost; clearly, this meeting with Morax didn’t yield as much as she had imagined.

"Let’s stay in Liyue for a while; maybe Immortal Wood Spirit will come back in the near future."

Lumine said to Paimon, as if comforting herself.

"This time it wasn’t completely without gain; at the very least, we know that this Geo Archon of Liyue is not the god who separated me and my brother back then."

"Yeah, there was some gain after all."

Paimon nodded, also gaining confidence.

"Then Traveler, let’s have a good tour of the customs and culture of all of Liyue next!"

"As your good guide, I must keep my spirits up!"

Paimon put her hands on her hips, looking very optimistic.

"Maybe, we will meet that legendary Immortal Spirit during our travels."

"Hmm."

Lumine and Paimon, having recovered their mood, left Morax and started their own journey on the land of Liyue.

And on Morax’s side, after Lumine and Paimon left.

Jiang Yan revealed his figure and appeared beside Morax.

"Seriously, that really gave me a fright just now."

"These two little guys actually asked about me for no reason."

Jiang Yan said with a smile.

"I thought you were going to reveal me."

"How could I."

Morax took a sip of tea and said indifferently.

"After all, you are indeed leaving Liyue."

"Even if I wanted to reveal your whereabouts, they would only be disappointed."

"The Dark Sea is not something an ordinary traveler can handle."

Hearing Morax’s words, Jiang Yan shook his head with a smile, not agreeing, but not refuting either.

They are really not ordinary travelers.

As the protagonist of a game, Jiang Yan absolutely does not believe that the Traveler is just someone with high martial arts skills.

Even though Liyue in this world no longer needs the Traveler to intervene as it did in the game.

However, Jiang Yan believes that the Traveler will still become an indispensable friend of the Liyue country.

Maybe, the Traveler will also create her own story in the current Liyue?

But these things have nothing to do with him.

Jiang Yan looked into the distance; over there was the direction of the Dark Sea.

The Dark Sea...

A few days later.

Accompanied by a stream of light shooting straight into the sky from Liyue Harbor.

In the teahouse, Morax, who had transformed into his mortal form, gently put down the teacup in his hand and looked up at the sky at the harbor.

"Has he already set off..."

Morax murmured softly.

"Mr. Zhongli?"

Tian Tie’zui, who had just finished a story, saw that this Mr. Zhongli in front of him was not listening to his storytelling as seriously as usual.

"Hmm?"

Zhongli was also confused when he was suddenly interrupted by Tian Tie’zui, and looked at the other party.

But when he saw Tian Tie’zui’s expression, he suddenly knew what the other party was thinking.

So, he said to Tian Tie’zui with a smile:

"I was just thinking about something, sorry."

"It’s okay, I just wanted to ask what other stories you would like to hear."

Tian Tie’zui shook his head and said to Zhongli with a smile.

At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Seeing Zhongli in a daze just now, he thought the story he told this time was too boring and made the other party annoyed.

Fortunately, fortunately, Mr. Zhongli was just thinking about things.

However, this matter also reminded Tian Tie’zui.

He had been repeating these stories recently; it is estimated that others would have been bored listening to them.

It is indeed necessary to research some new stories to tell...

Zhongli didn’t know how much influence his unintentional actions just now had on Tian Tie’zui.

He is now just thinking about some strange things.

Jiang Yan left without a word?

He just left like that??

Didn’t leave a word?

Zhongli didn’t believe it.

For a guy like Jiang Yan, it would be strange if he didn’t leave anything behind before leaving.

Zhongli felt that something was wrong the more he thought about it.

Everything was too ordinary.

So ordinary that even he felt it was incredible.

Jiang Yan, this guy.

Doesn’t he always make a scene when he leaves to do things?

This kid, wouldn’t he leave me some trap?

His test cannot be interfered with; although he had the suspicion of sending Jiang Yan away by doing so, Morax really didn’t think that much.

But that doesn’t mean Jiang Yan wouldn’t think that much.

After the Traveler and her guide left, Jiang Yan stayed for many more days before leaving.

Morax didn’t believe Jiang Yan hadn’t done anything.

Thinking of this, Morax stood up, preparing to observe around Liyue Harbor.

"Mr. Zhongli?"

Tian Tie’zui, who was thinking about how to develop new stories, saw Morax stand up and asked with some confusion.

"Sorry, Mr. Tian Tie’zui, I suddenly remembered that the Director also entrusted me with some things that I haven’t done yet, so let’s stop here for today."

Morax said indifferently, then turned and left.

From afar, a steady voice carrying a hint of vicissitudes reached Tian Tie’zui’s ears.

"Today’s consumption, just put it on... tsk, it seems the reimbursement quota for the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor has been used up, so put it on the Northland Bank’s bill."

Tian Tie’zui stood there blankly, not knowing what to say, just quietly watching that figure get further and further away.

For a long time, he suddenly sighed.

"Mr. Zhongli, he really is a bit tired of my stories..."

"It seems I have to calm down and research new stories."

In the end, after weighing it again and again.

Tian Tie’zui decided to close for the day and devote himself to researching new stories at home.

Morax had absolutely no such intention.

Some stories, for him, will never be heard enough.

After all, those are the glorious years that belong to him and his partners.

Recording them in the form of storytelling is not without its charm.

The reason why Morax left so anxiously was simply because he was worried that Jiang Yan would leave behind some unpredictable backup plans.

If it interfered with his test, then the contract he made with himself would no longer be effective.

This guy wouldn’t leave Liyue so easily at such a time.

If he couldn’t get away over there, and things here exceeded his expectations.

That kid wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen.

A whole day.

Morax had been wandering around the streets and alleys of Liyue.

People who knew Morax’s mortal identity naturally noticed the sudden abnormality of this knowledgeable consultant.

"Consultant? You’ve circled back and forth so many times, what are you planning..."

Hu Tao looked at Morax, who was walking toward her again, with some suspicion.

That’s right, again.

Hu Tao clearly hadn’t left this place.

But this consultant Zhongli of hers seemed to be looking for something.

Constantly walking around the area.

This couldn’t help but make Hu Tao curious.

What exactly happened to make this consultant of hers, who wouldn’t change his expression even if the sky fell, look like this.

Could it be...

Did he exceed the quota allocated to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor by the General Affairs Office again?

Hu Tao narrowed her eyes, and this led to the following scene.

"Oh, it’s Director Hu."

Morax only then discovered the girl who had been by his side.

"I was just wandering around because I had nothing to do; nothing happened."

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Morax didn’t state his purpose.

After all, he hadn’t found any evidence yet.

To prove that Jiang Yan left a backup plan in this incident.

It would be strange if Morax could find it.

Who is Jiang Yan?

Can Morax find the backup plan he wants to leave behind?

However, Jiang Yan didn’t really leave anything behind.

He just told Apep to appear and protect Liyue when Ningguang encountered a crisis she truly couldn’t handle.

With Apep there, Jiang Yan didn’t believe anyone could truly threaten Liyue.

You know, Apep is the Grass Dragon King!

That is an existence a grade higher than the Seven Archons.

So Jiang Yan was not worried at all that something would happen to Liyue.

"Better be that way!"

Hu Tao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Morax didn’t look like he had committed an offense.

If the expenses exceeded the limit this time, she, the Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, would really be scolded.

"Hmm. If there’s nothing else, Director, I’ll take my leave."

Zhongli said indifferently, then his figure went further and further away.

"The consultant is a bit strange today."

Hu Tao muttered, but didn’t take this matter to heart.

Hu Tao muttered to herself, though she did not take the matter to heart.
