Fallen Adepti (journey to liyue) book2

Chapter 8

The next day Xiao appeared to wangshu inn to check you but then saw you were not there and immediately got worried as he was about to find you when he saw you coming upstairs holding some food on your hand.

You saw him and wave while stuffing some food to your mouth. He sigh in relief as you then approached him.

"I thought you run away"

"Why would I? I can't walk around liyue with a bounty on my head.."

You said and sat on the tree while looking directly at liyue harbour. Xiao notice your glance and look as well as he notice your looking at liyue harbour and then look back at you.

"Do you really want to walk around liyue harbour?"

"Actually no...it's the nation I need to protect like your archon would do"

"So your considering to protect liyue?"

"Only for a while"

You said and stretch your arm while you lean on the tree.

"I'm gonna protect this nation till the threat vanished"

"I see.."

After that he just look at liyue harbour while you then look at your hand while summoning some geo rocks in it.

Just then you remembered the two fatui you just took away yesterday while they're trying to assassinate the tianquan as you had put them on the ambers to trapped them there.

You sigh as you remembered you need information about their scheme as you stood up from your place and Xiao looks at you.

"I'm going to visit mountain shaper, don't worry"

You said and your wings appeared from your back while it spread wide open before you flew away as Xiao just watch you leave.

It's not long before you reach mt.hulao as you already saw mountain shaper with moon carver and cloud retainer waiting patiently for you arrival.

You landed down as they all look at you while you approached them.

"Now y/n what is this errand your talking about?"

Retainer said as you then walk towards the two ambers and broke it as they look and was surprised to see two fatuis as they both gain consciousness and look as they saw you first and started shrinking in fear.

"What's the meaning of this!?"

Mountain shaper said as he never knew that another mortal was trapped on one of the ambers again.

"Ah...well I trapped them there yesterday"

You said as the three adeptis look at you but was not surprised as you would really do this to mortals.

"I can't say I'm surprised but..why?"

"Well you know the fatuis, they most likely one of liyue's threats"

"I see.."

"So why keep them?"

"Information"

You said and look at the two fatuis that were shaking in fear.

"Mind telling me why assassinate the tianquan?"

"Assassinate the tianquan?, Only a fool would do something like that"

Retainer said as she look down on the two fatuis.

"W-we were just doing what were told.."

"You mortals always say something like this.."

You said while folding your arms.

"How long will you plan to assassinate this woman?"

"Not until we get what we want.."

"And what is it that you mere mortals want?"

"....."

They didn't respond but still fear you as you were impressed they still hide the important details even though they're life is at stake here.

You sigh and pinch your temples as you thought for a moment to think of something that will make you walk around liyue harbour freely as you need to keep an eye to this tianquan.

"What are you planning now, y/n?"

"...I need to walk around liyue freely and know more about what these fatuis are scheming of and at the same time keep an eye to that tianquan"

"Your finally considering your contract with rex lapis I see"

"This is already troublesome for me.."

Mountain shaper then let out a chuckle as you all look at him.

"I may have a plan for you to walk freely to liyue"

He said and look at the fatuis that was still trembling in fear. He then approached the two and spoke.

"I may need to examine your strange clothes first, mortals"

"For what?"

You asked as mountain shaper look at you and just smiled.

"A perfect disguised won't be a problem"
