Chapter 131

The next second, Yelan looked at the sword floating behind Lin Mo that was emitting a faint purple glow, and said with great interest: "Lady Yuheng would actually hand her own personal sword to you; it seems there is a story between you two that I don't know about."

For a swordsman, a sword is their partner, their life, and they would not let ordinary people touch it.

Let alone Keqing, Lady Yuheng, who is one of the Liyue Qixing.

The sword in her hand has accompanied her since she was a child.

Now it has actually appeared in Lin Mo's hands.

This is a bit intriguing.

"Keqing came to find me today to spar in sword arts, and then my sword was broken by her, so she lent me her own sword to practice with."

Hearing Yelan's words, Lin Mo chuckled: "I reckon she will take this sword back when she comes over tomorrow."

"Your sword arts are indeed not simple; it's normal for Lady Yuheng to come and spar with you."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Yelan nodded and said: "I reckon Lady Yuheng has also witnessed your miraculous Art of Sword Flight. The weapons belonging to the Qianyanjun Society, although the materials used for forging them are not simple, indeed cannot support much under Lady Yuheng's sword."

"Speaking of Lady Yuheng, I don't really like people who keep their schedules packed; they don't leave themselves any room for adjustment. As soon as they encounter an accident, they become flustered and implicate their colleagues. But 'Yuheng' is different; she always handles things in an orderly manner. Every time I work with her, it is quite pleasant for me."

"Is that so?"

Hearing Yelan's words, Lin Mo raised an eyebrow: "You have even worked with Keqing? And it's not a small amount?"

"Naturally."

Yelan spoke slowly: "The Qixing have a clear grasp of the situation in all parts of Liyue, but there is always some intelligence that needs to be collected through special means. I am considered an expert in this area, so these types of errands are basically handled by me, and naturally, I deal with the Qixing."

"And I have known Master Ningguang for a long time. At that time, she was not yet one of the Qixing, and we cooperated for a period of time. She was able to become one of the Qixing ahead of schedule; perhaps I had a hand in it too. Heh, who knows? In short, this job now was recommended to me by her. It is indeed quite good and very suitable for me."

Seeing that Yelan had actually started telling him these secrets.

Lin Mo's eyelids twitched slightly.

Yelan is treating him as one of her own.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have spoken about her relationship with the Liyue Qixing.

It even involved Keqing and Master Ningguang.

"What's so surprising? Anyway, you are now also a person of Liyue, and Yuheng even lent you her own sword, which is enough to prove that you are a reliable person."

Sensing Lin Mo's emotions, Yelan chuckled: "And as my friend, you should also know some things about my duties; we will definitely have opportunities to cooperate in the future."

"Besides, what I said is not exactly classified information."

"So that's how it is."

Hearing Yelan's words, Lin Mo understood and nodded gently, accepting Yelan's words.

"I can still accompany you to rest for these few days, but in a few days, I might not have the time."

The next second, Yelan changed the subject and said: "I reckon we won't be able to see each other for a while."

"Oh? Are you going to other nations?"

Hearing Yelan's words, Lin Mo pondered: "Or is it that you are going to carry out some secret mission?"

A mission that would make Yelan say this in advance, I'm afraid they really won't be able to see each other for a while.

"It's not exactly a secret mission; it's the situation at the Chasm."

Yelan shook her head and said: "The Chasm is quite far from Liyue, and there have been some problems there recently. I need to go and handle them; Liyue doesn't have enough manpower."

"The Chasm?"

Hearing Yelan's words, Lin Mo was surprised.

Shouldn't the Chasm at this time be sealed off?

As for the Chasm, he remembers there were quite a few things going on there.

But specifically, he couldn't think of it for a moment.

Immediately, Lin Mo and Yelan communicated, chatting and roasting meat.

Time passed quietly just like that.

The late night arrived without knowing it.

After eating a few portions of roasted beast meat with Yelan, Lin Mo found that it was truly leisurely here.

"Your craftsmanship is not bad; I was almost successfully bribed by you."

After finishing the last piece of roasted meat, Yelan stood up and said: "Then we will see each other tomorrow."

Having captured two Fatui elites today, Yelan still had to interrogate them.

"See you tomorrow."

Hearing Yelan's words, Lin Mo nodded.

Just now, through the exchange with Yelan, if it weren't for Yelan saying that her physical fitness wasn't very good, she would have sparred with him.

This left Lin Mo somewhat speechless.

Because he truly hadn't felt that Yelan had any issues with her physical fitness.

After saying goodbye to Yelan, Lin Mo returned to Liyue City, preparing to sleep and rest.

He didn't need to go to the Alchemy Commission tomorrow, but as for the Luofu, he did have an appointment with Lord Yanqing.

While Lin Mo was thinking this, he walked towards Liyue City.

On the other side.

Inside Liyue City.

Northland Bank.

Andrei, the manager of the Liyue branch of Northland Bank, stood at the entrance with his brows tightly furrowed.

From the afternoon until now, more than half a day has passed, and the two Fatui elites he sent out to investigate have actually not returned yet. Did something happen?

That makes no sense.

He only asked them to investigate some information; even if they walked openly in front of the Qianyanjun Society, they wouldn't be captured.

How come there is no news back until now?

This has completely passed the agreed time with him.

Was it delayed because of something?

Or something else?

The more Andrei thought about it, the more irritable he became, pacing back and forth.

After waiting for a while longer, he found that the number of people under Northland Bank was also getting fewer and fewer, and he still hadn't seen his own people.

Andrei immediately walked out and spoke to Nadia, the Northland Bank guard at the entrance who also belonged to the Fatui elites: "Have Enoch and the others not returned yet? Did they say anything to you before they left?"

"No."

Hearing Andrei's words, Nadia was stunned and shook her head: "I only changed shifts at night, and I didn't see them during the day. If you sent them out in the afternoon, then the one who handed over with them was Vlad, not me."

She belongs to the night guards of Northland Bank.

While Vlad is the day guard.

"If Enoch and the others return, notify me immediately."

Hearing Nadia's words, Andrei gave an order and stepped back into Northland Bank.

Time passed quietly just like that.

In the blink of an eye, a night passed.

Until the next day.

From the morning light to the sun's rays shining on the whole world.

In Northland Bank, Andrei, who was waiting, was almost asleep when he was instantly awakened by a beam of sunlight from outside the window.

At this time, he hadn't slept well all night, resulting in his eyes being pitch black and his eyeballs covered with bloodshot veins.

The awakened Andrei found Vlad, who had already changed shifts at the door, and hurriedly said: "Vlad, have Enoch and the others returned?"

He had waited all night, and Enoch hadn't returned....

"No."

Hearing Andrei's words, Vlad, who had just changed shifts, was stunned and shook his head: "Nadia just told me that she didn't wait for Enoch."

"They haven't returned."

Hearing this, Andrei's pupils shrank violently.

A whole night has passed, and Enoch and the others actually haven't returned!

What is going on?

Even if they hadn't found out anything, according to their Fatui agreement, they should have returned at night.

As a result, no one has returned.

Something happened?!
