Facing Eula's soul-piercing question, Amber looked entirely guilty, resembling nothing so much as a husband caught red-handed with a mistress.
As the ringleader of Mondstadt's "girl-love" scene, she appeared incredibly panicked at this moment.
"Cough... Amber, aren't you guys in Mondstadt? Why have you come to Wangshu Inn?"
Hearing Ye Xi's question, Amber's beautiful eyes were filled with gratitude! She understood that Ye Xi was helping her change the subject!
So she hurriedly said, "Actually, it's like this!"
"Grand Master Jean of our Knights said that there's a person in Liyue also named Ye Xi who wants to engage in some kind of fencing match!"
"So, she sent Eula and me!"
"Oh, that Ye Xi is me."
"Eh—!?"
Hearing Ye Xi's words, Amber was somewhat surprised.
When she was in Mondstadt, Grand Master Jean had told her the cause and effect of the matter. She had assumed they were going to Liyue because that Ye Xi was a Liyue native. Therefore, she hadn't connected it to Collei.
Unexpectedly, the Ye Xi of Liyue was the Ye Xi of Sumeru! This was too much of a coincidence!
Beside her, Eula frowned slightly.
The mission she received was to use her swordsmanship to complete this fencing competition!
Although she didn't understand why the four nations were suddenly holding a fencing contest, she would go all out. If Ye Xi was the person to challenge, she could accept the match at any time.
Ye Xi, however, guessed immediately that it was that fellow Barbatos who, upon returning to Mondstadt, had dumped this matter onto Grand Master Jean.
He just hadn't expected that the people Mondstadt sent would be Eula and Amber. He had thought it would be Lisa and Kaeya.
Because for such important engineering construction, Lisa had stayed at the Akademiya, had a good brain, and was very suitable.
As for Kaeya, being the adopted son of the Ragnvindr family, he could represent Diluc. One was Mondstadt's brain, the other Mondstadt's wallet; obviously, combined together, they would be very convenient for infrastructure engineering dialogue.
Why send Eula and Amber?
Although he didn't understand the Knights of Favonius's intention, he still invited, "Amber, Collei happens to miss you. Will you come to Sumeru with me?"
"Eh—!?"
Amber shook her head subconsciously.
She did indeed miss Collei very much, but the problem was that Eula was still here! If they went to Sumeru and saw Collei, how would she explain?
"No... let's not go..."
"We're going!"
At this moment, Eula on the side suddenly spoke with a very firm gaze, "I haven't been to Sumeru yet. It's a good opportunity to take a look."
"But... Eula, didn't we agree to go to Liyue Harbor..."
"Amber, this is for Grand Master Jean's mission!"
Seeing Eula so determined, Amber knew she was done for. Eula must have gotten serious and wanted to go to Sumeru to see Collei!
She hurriedly looked for an excuse, and suddenly her eyes lit up. She rushed to say, "If we go to Sumeru, it will definitely take a long time! The road is so far..."
"You don't need to worry about that!"
Keqing stepped forward and said with a smile, "Master Ye Xi has a flying machine. It won't even take an hour to get to Sumeru!"
"What!? That fast!"
Amber was instantly filled with despair.
It was over. Now Collei's matter couldn't be hidden! She knew that this 'shuraba' was inevitable.
To the side.
Keqing had already discerned Eula and Amber's identities and purpose. To put it bluntly, just like her and Ganyu, they were here to cooperate with Ye Xi.
It was just that she and Ganyu represented Liyue, while Eula and Amber represented Mondstadt.
She had to take this matter seriously! It concerned the construction of Liyue Harbor!
Ye Xi was only one person. If Ye Xi went to Mondstadt, then Liyue would certainly be unable to be attended to! She had to think of a way to keep Ye Xi, or at least complete Liyue Harbor's construction first!
Thinking of this, she felt a sense of crisis.
Eula's figure was much better than hers—that bust, those long legs!
Especially the way her thigh strap squeezed the soft flesh of her thighs—it was enough to make even Keqing's heart flutter, making her want to reach out and give it a pinch!
And that slender waist; even girls couldn't help but want to put their arms around it, let alone men!
Moreover, her cool and elegant temperament matched perfectly!
Having gotten along with Ye Xi for a few days, she knew that Ye Xi would definitely be attracted to Eula.
When that happened, wouldn't Ye Xi run straight off to Mondstadt?
How could that be allowed!
She was here first! Even if Eula had a share, it should be after her!
Hearing Keqing's words, Eula immediately nodded and introduced herself, "Knights of Favonius, Captain of the Reconnaissance Company, 'Spindrift Knight' Eula Lawrence, sends you greetings..."
"Master Ye Xi, we will trouble you next! Please take Amber and me to Sumeru together!"
"No trouble."
Although Ye Xi felt sorry for Amber, he couldn't refuse the matter of bringing girls home.
He smiled and said, "Alright, then let's set off!"
Saying leave, they left.
Ye Xi led the girls downstairs.
Boss Verr Goldet was extremely astonished to see Keqing's group actually gathered together with Eula and Amber.
"Lady Keqing, are you leaving?"
Keqing nodded. "Verr Goldet, take good care of the Conqueror of Demons."
"Rest assured, Lady Keqing!"
That was the Adeptus guarding Liyue; how would they dare to neglect him?
It was just that she was very curious why Amber and Keqing were walking together.
Watching them all get on the elevator and leave, Verr Goldet couldn't figure it out at all.
Downstairs.
Seeing Ye Xi come down with four girls, the surrounding adventurers' eyes turned red.
"Holy crap, how... how did the girls from Mondstadt end up walking together with Lady Yuheng!?"
"How many lifetimes of good fortune did that kid cultivate! He doesn't have an Eye of God either! How come everyone around him has an Eye of God!"
"Damn it, surrounded by nothing but beauties! I'm dying of sourness! Ahhh!"
"How did he hook up with Eula!"
"Hmph, that descendant of sinners will only bring bad luck no matter who she's with! It's just that this kid indeed has shallow luck with women!"
"To be surrounded by four beauties, I'd be willing to live ten years less!"
"Three days! Within three days, I want to know all the news about that man!"
"Why don't we go to the Adventurers' Guild and issue a commission! Get rid of this kid, and there will be a heavy reward!"
"....."
Ye Xi walked through the crowd just like that, blatantly...
The surrounding gazes of envy, jealousy, and hatred made him feel uncomfortable all over.
He always felt that if it weren't for Ganyu, Keqing, and the others—several people with Eyes of God—being around him right now, these adventurers would definitely come up to teach him a lesson!
It was still better at his own home, surrounded by his wives; it was indescribably happy.
From the inn, the weather outside had cleared up.
There were still many puddles on the road surface, but sunlight was already piercing through the dark clouds, penetrating down from the cloud layers.
The air was mixed with the earthy smell of soil, very fresh.
"Let's go to a place with flat terrain to board the plane."
"Okay~"
Keqing actually wanted to squeeze under an umbrella with Ye Xi like when they came, but unfortunately, the rain had stopped.
Walking on the country path, Amber asked Keqing about her grandfather.
She already knew that Keqing was the Yuheng Star of the Liyue Qixing, so she wanted to ask Keqing for help.
"...So there was such a matter."
"Alright, after I return to Liyue Harbor, I will go investigate!"
"If there are whereabouts, I will notify you!"
Upon hearing that Amber's ancestor was also a Liyue person, Keqing instantly felt favorable towards Amber and felt much closer.
Even if drifting outside, that was still a subject of Liyue!
Amber was instantly overjoyed: "Thank you, Lady Keqing!"
Although she was about to take Eula to see Collei, finding her grandfather was still a top priority.
The group walked to the vicinity of Guili Plains.
Ye Xi took out a helicopter directly from his portable space.
Seeing this behemoth that suddenly appeared, Eula and Amber's small faces were full of shock.
"My heavens! Is this some kind of magic?"
"What an amazing mechanism. Can it fly just relying on this?"
Eula initially saw that Ye Xi had no Eye of God and thought Ye Xi was just an ordinary person. Unexpectedly, he now revealed such an earth-shattering move!
As for Amber.
She had long heard Collei talk about Ye Xi's matters, words like defeating Fatui Harbingers, defeating the God of Righteousness, and so on.
At first, she thought Collei was bragging.
After all, after a little girl has a sweetheart, she will definitely praise the person she likes greatly.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xi was really this powerful!
She somewhat believed those stories Collei told.
"Let's get on the plane first."
Ye Xi opened the door and gestured for the girls to sit inside.
Finally, when it was Ganyu and Keqing's turn, Ganyu hesitated.
"Keqing, I'd better return to Liyue Harbor. I won't go back with you guys..."
"Eh!? How can that be done!"
Keqing hurriedly whispered in Ganyu's ear: "Ganyu, haven't you seen it yet? Eula and Amber are here to find Ye Xi!"
"If they snatch the lead, our Liyue engineering projects will definitely be pushed back!"
"You have to go with me!"
"Besides, don't you want to eat delicious fruits?"
"Fruits—!"
Ganyu felt a bit greedy.
Moreover, listening to Keqing's analysis, she felt it seemed very reasonable.
This matter was still very important and could not be delayed.
Thinking of this, she nodded:
"Okay!"
