Chapter 80

Hearing Uncle Tian's words, Yelan nodded with a serious expression: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me. I will go to Ganyu tonight to get more detailed intelligence, and then I will set off tomorrow."

"Mm, I can rest easy leaving it to you."

After Uncle Tian and Yelan chatted, they eventually parted ways, and Yelan headed to Yuehai Pavilion.

On the other side.

Sea of Clouds.

Lin Mo sheathed his sword, stopped his training, and prepared to head into Liyue City to eat.

"Impressive, Lin Mo."

Wen Qi, who had already walked over, looked at Lin Mo, who had just sheathed his sword, and exclaimed: "Every time I come, I see you practicing swordplay. I suddenly understand why your sword technique is so powerful."

Either practicing swordplay or on the way to practice swordplay—it shocked even Wen Qi.

Is this Lin Mo?

"Want to join me?"

Hearing Wen Qi's words, Lin Mo chuckled: "You can join me for some training; I mainly do it to improve my physical fitness."

"No."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Wen Qi shook his head with a wry smile: "I don't have that talent, and as for physical fitness, I feel that what the Millelith armor provides is already enough."

Training was impossible; slacking off was what he really wanted.

"Let's go, let's go eat at Wanmin Restaurant today."

Lin Mo chuckled, and then he and Wen Qi and the others headed to Liyue City.

Just as they entered Liyue City and hadn't walked far, Lin Mo suddenly heard some discussions.

"If you ask me, Zhiyi is truly a strong child."

"Who's to say otherwise? I've heard since he was small that Zhiyi is very helpful, optimistic in the face of his own unfortunate fate, and even takes the initiative to help others."

"Uh, what are you all talking about? How come I've never heard of this person?"

"Heh, we're talking about a child who grew up in Liyue and lost his parents. It's said he was adopted by his stepparents, who beat and scolded him at will, but after growing up, he didn't return evil with evil, but instead took the initiative to provide for his stepparents in their old age."

"Damn, that's so filial."

These discussions rang out one after another, reaching Lin Mo's ears, making his expression strange.

Isn't this name the guy who is participating in the Tianxuan Star assessment?

When he came back before, he hadn't heard of it, but now he hears it in the blink of an eye?

For a moment, Lin Mo fell into deep thought.

Does this mean that there is already news about the Liyue the Liyue Qixing's Tianxuan Star assessment?

"Damn, it's this Zhiyi again. My ears have grown calluses from hearing about him these past two days."

Beside Lin Mo, the Millelith Zhao Kaiyun, who was walking along, heard this and was speechless: "I don't know what's going on. It seems someone who went to the Liyue countryside returned these past two days, causing quite a stir, and many people are talking about this guy."

"At first, when I heard about this guy, I thought he was pretty good, but now that I hear about him almost every day, I feel a bit annoyed."

"How can you say that?"

Hearing Zhao Kaiyun's words, Wen Qi frowned: "You have to know, it's a good thing that such a filial person has appeared in our Liyue."

Hearing Zhao Kaiyun and Wen Qi's words, Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

Has the hype already started?

If he remembered correctly, Zhiyi collaborated with the Northland Bank's diplomatic ambassador and eventually backstabbed them when he succeeded.

As for the situation at that time, he seemed to remember it was three months ago?

"I shouldn't be remembering it wrong."

Lin Mo pinched his chin and fell into deep thought: "If it really is the Tianxuan Star assessment, then since this person has already started building hype, then in three to four months, there will be some kind of selection process."

"Forget it, it has nothing to do with me."

Thinking this, Lin Mo shook his head gently and ignored it.

Instead, he and Wen Qi headed to Wanmin Restaurant.

"Lin Mo, good evening."

On the way to Wanmin Restaurant, Chef Mao greeted Lin Mo with a smile.

"Good evening, Chef Mao."

Lin Mo said with a smile: "The usual."

"Coming right up."

As Chef Mao responded and began preparing dinner for Lin Mo.

On the other side.

Yuehai Pavilion.

Ganyu, who was handling matters, saw Yelan arrive and her eyes brightened slightly: "You're here."

"This is the intelligence you need; I have already prepared it for you."

Saying this, Ganyu handed the materials she had prepared to Yelan.

"Your efficiency is as impeccable as ever."

Seeing that Ganyu had already prepared it, Yelan sighed: "I'm thinking, if only I had half the demi-human blood you have."

Yelan felt that Ganyu could work non-stop while maintaining impeccable efficiency. The half-adeptus bloodline probably gave Ganyu quite a bit of convenience, allowing her to maintain energy without needing to sleep.

"It's alright."

Hearing Yelan's words, Ganyu scratched her head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"By the way, Yelan, do you need a helper? This mission to The Chasm seems a bit troublesome."

Ganyu pondered for a moment and said: "I can send a bunch of Millelith to assist you in the investigation."

"Forget about having too many people."

Hearing Ganyu's words, Yelan shook her head gently: "But regarding the helper you mentioned, I did think of Lin Mo from the Sea of Clouds. If possible, I will ask him if he is willing to go with me."

"Lin Mo?"

Hearing Yelan's words, Ganyu was thoughtful: "I still haven't investigated that person's identity. Although a lot of evidence proves he is from Liyue, there is no clear source, and it remains a mystery to this day."

"And his requirements are also very simple. Besides the meal subsidy from Wanmin Restaurant, he is not very willing to be transferred into Liyue City."

Speaking of this, Ganyu felt a bit helpless, which gave her a headache.

Liyue had never had such a strange Millelith before.

And this Millelith also mastered a miraculous sword-riding technique, which looked very incredible.

"Then I'll just go on the operation with him."

Hearing Ganyu's words, Yelan smiled and said: "If he is willing, he can be a very good assistant for this trip to The Chasm."

"Go on an operation to The Chasm with him?"

Hearing Yelan's words, Ganyu nodded gently: "That's fine, but in that case, your credit will be split. When the situation in The Chasm is resolved, half of your credit will be gone."

"To me, credit or whatever is no longer important."

Hearing Ganyu's words, Yelan shook her head gently: "I'm quite happy in my current position. Besides sometimes having some trivial matters, there's nothing else to be busy with, and I can even steal some leisure time."

"However, I can't decide Lin Mo's whereabouts, and Lin Mo might not necessarily go. I'll go ask him tonight."

She had told Lin Mo before that she was going to The Chasm, and Lin Mo's expression had seemed a bit strange at the time.

"That's fine."

Hearing Yelan's words, Ganyu nodded: "I'll leave The Chasm to you. This is the official order I prepared for you."

"After you go there, you can unconditionally command the General Affairs Office personnel and Millelith stationed there."

"Not many people know your identity, Yelan. The only one who seems to know is Mu Ning."

"Mm."

Hearing Ganyu's words, Yelan nodded and accepted it gladly.

Having an official order was quite convenient.

Ningguang had one, Uncle Tian had given her one, and now Ganyu had given her one too.

"By the way, do you know about Uncle Tian's situation?"

As she was speaking, Yelan suddenly thought of something and said: "I just saw Uncle Tian."

Saying this, Yelan briefly recounted what she and Uncle Tian had discussed.

"I know a little bit."

Ganyu nodded gently: "Uncle Tian has already felt that he is no longer up to the task, so he is thinking of retiring. It's not like there haven't been Liyue the Liyue Qixing who stepped down early before, but the successor is still a problem."

"I am currently scouting, but I remember that Uncle Tian seems to have a prized disciple. I don't know if Uncle Tian will let that person take over."

While Yelan and Ganyu were communicating.

In Wanmin Restaurant.

Lin Mo had already received the delicacies prepared by Chef Mao.

After eating his fill, he ordered thirty bowls of Jueyun Chili Chicken from Chef Mao as usual, left Wanmin Restaurant with Wen Qi, and walked toward the outside of Liyue City.

Following the direction from Liyue Harbor to the outside of Liyue City, Lin Mo walked under the deep blue night sky, discovering that the building complex of Liyue Harbor emitted warm light, like bright gems embedded under the sapphire sky.

Boats with flickering lights floated on the water of Liyue Harbor, like fireflies dotting the tranquil lake, bringing vitality to the night.

Lin Mo walked across the ancient wooden bridge, the water beneath reflecting the scene of the lights coming on, like a dreamlike reflection.

Various street vendors crowded both sides of the street, the hawking of merchants, the discussions of tourists, and the occasional laughter intertwined, forming the unique music of this city.

Every time he saw the night view of Liyue, Lin Mo exclaimed in his heart.

It was too beautiful.

Unlike the night view of the Luofu, the night view of Liyue Harbor was also unique.

Those ancient buildings each seemed to have stories spanning hundreds of years. Red lanterns swayed gently in the wind, casting golden light onto the earth, adding a touch of romance to the night of Liyue Harbor, filled with the atmosphere of human life.

"Good evening."

When Lin Mo walked outside Liyue City and returned to a certain part of the base in the Sea of Clouds for which he was responsible, a figure was walking from afar, smiling and speaking to Lin Mo.

This figure seemed to have been waiting here for a while.
