Chapter 81

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Yelan was surprised.

She had been thinking that the General Affairs Office would provide the reward tomorrow, but she hadn't expected it to be given out this evening; this speed was indeed fast.

Looking at Lin Mo's expression, he seemed quite satisfied as well.

Immediately, Yelan didn't say anything else, but nodded and said, "The reason I sought you out this time is to ask you, how have you considered what I said during the day?"

"How about working with me? I appreciate you; your sword arts and your mind should not remain here in the Cloud-Coming Sea."

Yelan issued an invitation to Lin Mo in a simple and straightforward manner.

"Working with Yelan?"

Hearing Yelan's words, Lin Mo rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.

Working with Yelan might mean leaving Liyue.

Doing so might delay his situation over at Luofu, and for him right now, it didn't seem appropriate.

"Do I have to leave Liyue?"

After thinking for a moment, Lin Mo said, "Besides, you haven't told me what kind of work it is."

"Perhaps."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Yelan nodded gently: "Some matters will indeed require leaving Liyue to head to other nations; of course, most of the time will be spent throughout Liyue."

"As for what the work is, it is naturally doing things that are beneficial to Liyue and resolving some troubles for Liyue."

"Although Liyue is very prosperous today, it is not peaceful everywhere; not only are monsters attacking adventurers in the wild more frequently, but the Treasure Hoarders have also increased."

"You have seen it too; today, there were even members of the Treasure Hoarders who came to the Cloud-Coming Sea to plunder the villagers."

"Many Treasure Hoarders have come to Liyue from other nations and are active all over Liyue."

"There is also the Snezhnayan Fatui; there are often new recruits coming over for training, which is also no small trouble for Liyue."

"Well, the latter point is a bit far off, so let's not talk about it for now."

Yelan briefly explained the situation, and Lin Mo's expression turned strange as he listened.

These matters sounded like such a hassle.

If he were to work with Yelan, it would certainly be something that couldn't be seen by others.

Currently, Yelan does not appear before the public, but operates in the shadows.

Besides that, he would have to run all over Liyue, which didn't seem very suitable for him right now.

It would be better to continue training here in the Cloud-Coming Sea, then improve his reputation and strengthen his own power.

Most importantly, he still had free time that he could use as he pleased.

Lin Mo also knew that although Yelan appreciated him, once he worked with her, once certain tasks came down, he would certainly only have the role of obeying and doing them.

In that situation, let alone using his free time, he wouldn't even be able to slack off.

It was better to be a carefree member of the Millelith outside Liyue Harbor who could slack off.

If he followed Yelan to work, he might even lose his identity as a Cloud Knight.

As of now, his strength is not strong.

Although he possesses decent sword arts, his physical constitution has not improved much.

And without something like a Vision, facing some veteran Vision holders or engaging in combat with some powerhouses seems too much of a stretch.

What is most important for him right now is to improve his influence and continue to build his strength, so that when the time comes, he will have the confidence to do anything without needing to think too much.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo pondered for a moment and shook his head gently: "It sounds like a lot of trouble; I don't like trouble, and I prefer the current situation."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Yelan raised her eyebrows.

Yelan had thought of reasons why Lin Mo might refuse.

But she had never expected that Lin Mo would actually find it troublesome.

"Interesting, I am even more interested in you now."

The next second, Yelan looked at Lin Mo and smiled lightly: "Although you politely declined me, the door here is always open for you."

"If I have time in the future, I will come to find you again, not to invite you again, but just to chat with you."

"That's fine."

Hearing Yelan's words, Lin Mo raised his eyebrows and nodded.

Yelan chatting with him or something like that was nothing.

"By the way, are your ancestors from Liyue?"

Suddenly, Yelan thought of something and said: "Many people have left Liyue in the past; among them were masters of sword arts and masters of blade techniques. Besides martial arts, there were even people like occultists; many people mastered the hundred arts of Liyue."

"Over the years, some descendants whose ancestors were from Liyue have returned to Liyue one after another."

"You possess such remarkable sword arts; are your ancestors also from Liyue?"
