Chapter 112

If he didn't bring her, based on Lin Mo's understanding of this young girl, he knew Zhi Qiong would definitely follow anyway.

"Since Lin Mo agrees, I naturally agree as well."

Yelan also nodded.

An elite from the Liyue Adventurers' Guild who could be sent by the Ministry of Civil Affairs to assist in the investigation must have a clean background.

She could also try to cultivate her and see if she could be recruited into her team in the future.

"That's great!"

Hearing Yelan's words, Zhi Qiong's face lit up with joy, and she spoke with immense excitement.

"Let's head out; we've been here for the whole morning. It's just right to go out for a meal, have a good rest in the afternoon, and continue the investigation tomorrow."

Yelan stretched her waist: "In the afternoon and evening, we'll arrange for the miners above to come down to investigate and rebuild the tents; our task for today can be considered complete."

This trip, even with Lin Mo present, had involved combat, and Yelan was somewhat tired.

She needed to go up and rest.

"Mm-hmm."

Seeing that Yelan also agreed, Zhi Qiong looked pleasantly surprised.

Lady Yelan agreed too.

Immediately, the three of them returned along the same path with joyful expressions.

Eventually, they successfully made their way back to the top of The Chasm.

At the entrance leading down to The Chasm, a group of people was gathered.

Aside from the Millelith responsible for maintaining order, Mu Ning was waiting at the entrance in person.

Beside him were mining workers or some assisting adventurers and others.

"It is said that the lord who flies on a sword we saw today is the person sent by the Ministry of Civil Affairs to resolve the crisis below The Chasm."

"It's not just what we saw today; last night, many people outside saw someone flying on a sword; it was incredible."

"It's great that The Chasm is being reopened below; now I can go down and mine like crazy. The quality of the ore down there must be better than above."

"I wonder what kind of lord it is that even the commissioner of the Ministry of Civil Affairs treats with such seriousness."

"Compared to that, I'm more curious about what happened down there. Terrifying tremors keep coming from time to time; they wouldn't be fighting some monster, would they?"

One person after another discussed it.

While everyone was talking, a flying sword flew out from the entrance, and Lin Mo flew out on his sword.

"Holy crap!"

Seeing someone suddenly fly out on a sword, everyone present widened their eyes.

They had witnessed this scene once again!

And this time, they saw it even more clearly: the one flying on the sword was a handsome Millelith soldier.

Although they had seen Millelith soldiers before, seeing this person's face up close now, they only felt shocked.

This is just too young.

At this moment, Lin Mo, who had just come out, did not expect so many people to be at the entrance.

Especially after seeing a certain piece of information appear on the panel, his expression became even stranger.

What the heck, the increase in influence—did something strange get mixed in?

"They're out?!"

Seeing this scene, Mu Ning looked pleasantly surprised.

Lin Mo was out, which meant Lady Yelan would also be coming out.

Before Mu Ning could speak, the next second, Yelan and Zhi Qiong came up.

"Let's disperse the crowd first."

Yelan, who had come out, looked at the people gathered around and nodded to Mu Ning.

With so many people around, what she had experienced below could not be explained in a short time, so she immediately nodded to Mu Ning.

Mu Ning agreed immediately, then had the Millelith call out to the people gathered around to disperse, and then personally led Lin Mo and Yelan to the side to understand the situation.

The adventurers and miners present all turned their gazes to the third person, Zhi Qiong.

"Why are you all looking at me?"

Seeing the gazes of the crowd, Zhi Qiong quickly said: "Until the lords give instructions, I cannot speak."

"Alright."

Hearing Zhi Qiong's words, the people present sighed.

It seems they can only find out later.

Immediately, one by one, they stopped paying attention to Zhi Qiong.

Seeing this, Zhi Qiong breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"No, your body."

Just as Zhi Qiong breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go to Lin Mo and Yelan, a man in a white robe suddenly blocked her path, looking at her with surprise: "How can your complexion be so good? Didn't you come into contact with that substance?"

Based on what he knew, Zhi Qiong shouldn't have such a good complexion.

As an expert from Sumeru, he knew Zhi Qiong quite well.

Her body had long been eroded.

Going down this time should have only made it worse, and she should have even been carried out.

Yet she walked out on her own; what was going on?

Haravatat scholar Khedive Purshina knew Zhi Qiong's body too well.

He came here to study the energy deep in The Chasm, and he also knew that of the entire Chasm, the one most severely eroded by that energy was Zhi Qiong.

But now, Zhi Qiong had actually recovered as if she were healthy; this shocked Khedive.

"Eh?"

Hearing Khedive's words, Zhi Qiong was stunned and scratched her head: "Was my complexion not good before?"

What kind of silly talk is this from Khedive?

But the next second, Zhi Qiong suddenly remembered that her body indeed hadn't been very good before.

But this time, while down below, she met Lin Mo, and after being patted by him, her body felt much better and much more comfortable.

Could it be because of this reason?

"Your complexion was good before, but it was definitely not healthy. Your vitality had been eroded, and it was irreversible!"
