"?"

Under Yu Kong's puzzled gaze, Walter released the words and actions of Ting Yun that he had secretly recorded at the beginning.

Especially after the Jianmu tree was revived, its extremely abnormal behavior and its suspicious words at Taibusi.

"..."

After reading this, Yu Kong's brows furrowed deeply.

These words certainly don't sound like something Tingyun would say, especially the part about Jianmu...

"The fox people are always vengeful, and they regard the Abundance as their mortal enemy. Tingyun has been by my side since childhood and has witnessed many heroic deeds of the Immortal Ship in fighting against the abominations of the Abundance. Now she says these words..."

In an instant, Yu Kong knew the purpose of their visit.

"You suspect that Tingyun is involved in this Star Core chaos?"

"Exactly."

Walter nodded and said.

Just as Yu Kong said, if it were the Ting Yun she remembered, she certainly wouldn't have said those words, but...

As far as Yu Kong was concerned, Ting Yun matched her impression of Ting Yun perfectly in terms of words, actions, and even minor flaws.

But now that the facts are before him, even Yu Kong couldn't help but start to have doubts.

It should be noted that Tingyun is famous for her shrewdness and ability to know what to say to whom and how to assess situations; she is among the best of the fox people.

However, it would be inappropriate for her to say something out of place during the revival of Jianmu.

"call……"

Finally, Yu Kong let out a long breath, his brows furrowed, as if he had made some kind of decision.

After a long silence, he finally gave them a reply:

"Gentlemen, I will report your concerns directly to General Jingyuan and Diviner Fuxuan. I cannot give you an answer... After all, as that child's closest relative... I cannot firmly maintain my own judgment."

"Of course, I admit that Tingyun's remarks were disrespectful. I will investigate the specific circumstances of Tingyun's flight route. If there are any problems, I will report them to General Jingyuan as well."

The implication was that she also believed Tingyun had some issues, but out of consideration for their relationship, she couldn't make a hasty decision, nor could she. Therefore, she would focus her investigation on this matter, and as for her judgment...

Let's leave it to General Jingyuan...

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Lord Yu Kong."

Upon hearing this, Welt and Kiana exchanged a glance, then turned and left.

"..."

Watching the two figures depart, Yu Kong tried to calm himself down and began to organize his thoughts, recalling the details of Ting Yun's return.

When Tingyun returned, it coincided with the time when Luofu was closed.

By then, some time had passed since the star core erupted on the Luofu Immortal Ship.

At that time, communication was not yet blocked, and Tingyun was always well-informed, so he would certainly know about the explosion of the star core in Luofu.

Given Tingyun's original personality, would she have rushed back to Luofu so hastily?

No… she probably won’t rush back to Luofu. After all, the star core eruption is temporary, and Tingyun can’t help much. Knowing her personality, she will definitely postpone her trip and seek help from allies on the Immortal Ship outside…

All these strange phenomena combined made the initial suspicion, which was only vaguely clear, even more certain.

"Tingyun... what happened to you, or... is it not you at all?"

"If that's the case, then where is the real you now?"

……

"It seems that the Sky Soarer has also noticed something amiss. Our suspicions were correct. So, what's next..."

Outside the Sichen Palace, Walter, who had already received Yu Kong's approval, slowly said:

"Let's leave it to General Jingyuan. From now on, whether it's a big fish or a small fish, it's worth investigating."

"Let's go back. We don't need to worry about the rest."

"Ah."

Kiana nodded knowingly, then opened the portal again, and the two instantly returned to the Works of Engineering's lounge.

Dan Heng and San Yue, who were waiting in the lounge, exchanged a glance, and then quickly stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

Upon learning that there was indeed a problem, March gasped in shock.

The prophecy... actually came true?

Oh no... It seems that when I go to a new place to explore in the future, I absolutely cannot "talk nonsense" anymore!

"In March, just be natural and don't show anything unusual."

Danheng looked at March 7th, who was gently patting her little mouth, and reminded her with a hint of helplessness.

"Uh... how could I not show anything unusual..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Sanyue's little face immediately fell.

That's just her personality; she's the type who can't keep things to herself. Now that she knows that Miss Tingyun has a problem, how could she not show some unease?

If she can really act like nothing happened, then she's a completely different person!

“I know this is very difficult for you, but perhaps… we can find another way.”

Seeing the troubled look on March 7th's face, Walter pondered for a moment, and then...

The power of the Herrscher of Reason gathered in his hand, and then a book was projected into Welt's hand.

"In March, you should read this book first. Maybe after you finish reading it you will be able to act more naturally."

"Hmm? What book is it? Um... The Actor's Self-Cultivation, author... Shi Yu Qi Luo?"

March took the book from Walter and began to read it with curiosity.

"Chapter One... How to become an idol when you're tone-deaf? What kind of logic is that?!"

"Sigh! But it seems quite interesting..."

So, on March 7th, she actually started studying this book...

That expression was one of focus that Dan Heng had never seen before when reading in March.

It's clear that this book suits her taste quite well.

"Um... Uncle Yang, does this really work?"

Looking at the unusually focused March 7, Kiana whispered to Welt, afraid of disturbing March's serious expression.

"Hmm... I'll give it a try..."

Walter wasn't sure how to comment on it, but... what if it works?

Chapter 150 Strange Tales of the Treasure-Hunting Gang

What is the most troublesome thing for adventurers in Teyvat?

Was it that you were chased for ten kilometers by a group of Hilichurls carrying sticks for no reason, or that a sudden downpour soaked your campsite while you were staying in the wild?

or……

It's a puzzle-solving element that's everywhere on this magical land...

At this moment, Xing encountered this problem.

As we all know, in Mondstadt, deciphering is nothing more than a basic thing that can be done by using some elemental reactions.

Sometimes, elemental reactions aren't even necessary; the star can simply dismantle the door and go inside on its own.

But when we arrived in Liyue...

It's still an elemental reaction, but...

"Do you people from Liyue really like using pressure plates?"

Looking at the "pressure plate" in front of her, Xing's expression was slightly numb.

This was already the umpteenth pressure plate she had encountered while working the land in Liyue.

In the past, you only needed to stand on it yourself. If the weight wasn't enough, you could take out the Flame Spear and put it on. If all else failed, you could even put Paimon, who was growing rapidly, on it.

But now, looking at that series of pressure plates, it's clear they're trying to get her to find a pattern! Find a pattern in the pressure plates?

Finding treasure chests in Teyvat is such a hassle. Why can't you play with a Rubik's Cube and a compass like we do on the Starry Railroad? Or even fix a clock if all else fails? At least that would make things a little more interesting...

"Hmm...this doesn't look like it..."

Paimon flew up from the ground, looked at the treasure chest that hadn't appeared yet, and covered his forehead with a headache.

Ugh... After solving so many decryption problems, my brain feels itchy.

"Sigh... since that's the case, let's use that trick then."

"That move?"

Upon hearing this, Paimon immediately realized what was happening and then consciously flew behind Xing to prevent himself from being accidentally injured.

Xing, who was getting tired of solving the puzzles, picked up his fire spear and started chiseling at the ground where the treasure chest was sealed!

"boom!!"

With a loud bang, the treasure chest emerged from the ground, leaving the surrounding cracked ground...

These things are all irrelevant.

She didn't come here to enjoy the puzzle-solving process; she just thought there might be a treasure chest here while passing by and decided to take a look.

He opened the treasure chest, stuffed the meager sum into his pocket, and then...

On the slightly disheveled ground, Xing slowly closed her eyes, then gently opened her palms.

A cone of light, not yet fully filled, appeared in her palm.

This light cone is not the one that the Lone Wolf was yelling about. She already planned to give that light cone to the Liyue Opera Clan to compile, so that the Lone Wolf's deeds would be widely spread in another world!

Well... from a memory perspective, Scott could be considered "immortal," right?

Xing infused a wisp of pioneering power into the still-unfilled cone of light, and then... the cone of light burst forth with the shimmering light of [memory], transforming a hazy path of light into a guiding beacon, once again guiding Xing's path forward.
