Chapter 17: Bai Lu waiting eagerly: Hope Lin Mo is quick (Part 1)

Lin Mo couldn't figure it out, so he continued practicing his swordsmanship and stopped looking at the virtual panel.

As Lin Mo continued to swing his sword in practice. **CHAPTER 40**

On the other side.

The Luofu.

Exalting Sanctum abode.

Bai Lu’s maidservant followed the address given by the Balance Commission chief clerk and arrived at Lin Mo’s front door.

Along the way, she checked her phone from time to time.

She discovered that her request to add Lin Mo as a friend had not been accepted.

This left her speechless; had this guy not looked at his phone for so long?

Looking at the door in front of her, Bai Lu’s maidservant rang the doorbell, but after waiting for a long while, there was no response.

"Not home?"

After waiting for a while, Bai Lu’s maidservant found that Lin Mo still hadn't opened the door, and she was stunned.

Was this guy not home?

Since he wasn't home, he must have gone out.

Did he go out without his phone?

"Forget it, since he’s not home, I’ll go back and find Lady Bai Lu first."

"Anyway, I have his contact information, I’ll just have Lady Bai Lu add him and wait for it to be accepted."

"I can't just keep waiting here."

After waiting a bit longer, Bai Lu’s maidservant hesitated for a moment before deciding to leave and return to report to Bai Lu.

Anyway, the friend request had already been sent; as long as the other party saw it and accepted, they could chat in real-time.

She couldn't just keep waiting here forever.

Thinking this, Bai Lu’s maidservant left Lin Mo’s home and headed to the skiff boarding area in Exalting Sanctum.

After waiting for the skiff to arrive, she boarded it and returned to the Alchemy Commission.

"How did it go?"

When Bai Lu’s maidservant returned to the Alchemy Commission, Bai Lu, who had been waiting, stood up with glowing eyes and asked hurriedly: "How was it, how was it?"

As she spoke, Bai Lu also glanced at the maidservant’s hands, discovering she hadn't brought back the Jade Fruit Soup, and sighed inwardly.

She had been out for so long, why hadn't she brought it back?

"It’s like this, Lady Bai Lu."

Hearing Bai Lu’s words, the maidservant didn't dare to be the least bit negligent and quickly explained everything she had done.

"Oh, oh, I see."

After hearing the maidservant’s words, Bai Lu realized.

So she hadn't found Lin Mo.

Immediately, Bai Lu nodded: "You did the right thing. Next, this young lady will add Lin Mo as a friend and see when he accepts it; then I can chat with him directly."

With Lin Mo’s contact information, she just needed to wait.

She just wondered what Lin Mo was busy with.

So much time had passed, and he still hadn't accepted the friend request.

"Could he have gone straight to the Cloud Knight station to practice swordsmanship?"

Thinking of the medicine she had prepared for Lin Mo, Bai Lu muttered to herself.

Then, she held her phone, waiting for Lin Mo to accept the friend request.

While Bai Lu was waiting.

On the other side.

Teyvat.

Yaoguang Shoal.

After applying the ointment Bai Lu had prepared, Lin Mo practiced his swordsmanship continuously.

Lin Mo didn't know how many times he had practiced, until the substance on his arm made him feel a chill, and only then did he stop.

Stopping, Lin Mo shook his arm and found that his arm had indeed changed.

Some muscle had already appeared, making Lin Mo sigh.

As expected of the medicine Bai Lu prepared, the effect was immediate.

At this time, it was already evening, the time when the sunset appeared.

As the sun set, Lin Mo saw the sky over Liyue Harbor in the distance rendered in a faint orange-red hue, like a warm and tranquil painting.

The evening glow reflected on the vast sea, causing the water to ripple with golden waves, like precious gold inlaid in a blue gem sea.

In the sky, some faint clouds drifted leisurely, like gentle feathers, lightly brushing against the horizon.

The afterglow of the sunset dyed the clouds a pale pink, as if they were wearing pink feathered robes, beautiful enough to intoxicate the heart.

Under the reflection of the sunset, the outlines of the various buildings in Liyue Harbor in the distance looked exceptionally pleasant.

The houses built of bluestone radiated a faint blue light under the sunset, like an ancient city waking from a dream.

In the distance, many ships sailed slowly by, leaving a silvery-white ripple, reflecting the sea under the sunset, like a tranquil melody.

For a moment, Lin Mo felt that the scenery of Teyvat was truly beautiful.

Casually tearing off the ointment on his arm, Lin Mo lay on the grass, watching this scene, sighing in his heart.

"Lin Mo, Lin Mo!"

At this moment, a call rang out, making Lin Mo look over.

He saw Wen Qi approaching not far away with three Millelith, waving at Lin Mo to greet him: "Let’s go have dinner, let’s celebrate, my treat."

"Okay."

Hearing Wen Qi’s words, Lin Mo smiled lightly.

He immediately got up and walked over.

This kind of life was really not bad.

"It seems I underestimated you; there aren't many young people who can endure loneliness."

Seeing Lin Mo approach, Wen Qi patted Lin Mo on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It’s not like there haven't been new Millelith recruits before, but they only stayed for a few days before they couldn't take it anymore and wanted to return to the city. It is indeed a bit dull here; if you have any discomfort, you can tell me."

"It’s alright."

Hearing Wen Qi’s words, Lin Mo smiled faintly and said: "It’s a good place to practice swordsmanship." **CHAPTER 41**

This place was still quite good for him.

He could practice swordsmanship and watch the scenery.

Whether it was the night view or the scenery during the day.

When tired, he could lean on the green hillside to rest.

Most importantly, no one bothered him; it was like clocking in for work on time.

"No wonder your swordsmanship is so powerful; it’s all from hard work."

Hearing Lin Mo’s words, Wen Qi said with a laugh.

As he spoke, a notification appeared on the virtual panel.

[Your swordsmanship has aroused the discussion of others, gaining 1 point of Influence.]

"So, this Influence can be continuously farmed through one person’s discussion."

Seeing the notification on the virtual panel, Lin Mo understood in his heart.

If Wen Qi discussed it once, he would gain one point of Influence.

If he discussed it twice, he would gain two points of Influence.

Immediately, Lin Mo left with Wen Qi and the others, returned to Liyue City, and found a restaurant to sit down and eat.

"Speaking of which, Lin Mo, your swordsmanship is actually quite suitable for Mondstadt."

At the dining table, Wen Qi said with a sigh while drinking wine: "It is said that the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt are specialized in swordsmanship; the knights there all practice swordsmanship."

"But I’m just saying, it wouldn't be suitable for you to be in Mondstadt right now."

"Oh?"

Hearing Wen Qi’s words, Lin Mo raised an eyebrow: "Not suitable?" **CHAPTER 42**
