"Yeah." Ye Lan replied lightly, indicating that she heard it.

"The wind is a bit noisy today." Ye Lan put her fingertips behind her ears again. Needless to say, the evening breeze messed up her hair again.

"Fortunately."

Rhine didn't feel anything.

Just like that, accompanied by the moonlight and gentle breeze, the two rode in a carriage back to Liyue Harbor.

By the way, the coachman was trained by Ye Lan, otherwise Ye Lan would not have discussed everything with Rhine in the carriage.

"My schedule is different from most people's. Now is the time to be energetic. Do you want to go shopping together?"

Standing in the bustling crowd, Ye Lan suddenly said to Rhine.

"Ah?" Rhine was a little surprised.

But the next moment, his expression suddenly softened: "Okay."

Rhine certainly didn't want to go shopping with Ye Lan.

He needed a suitable method to dispel Ye Lan's doubts and make her stop focusing on the "heretic".

Although the executive officer "heretic" has been like a otaku every day since he came to Liyue Harbor and has never left the White Horse Inn.

Therefore, for Ye Lan, contacting "heretics" is a very difficult thing. If no one can contact him, he will naturally not reveal any flaws.

Having said that, it is not a good idea to always be remembered by Ye Lan, an intelligence officer with outstanding professional skills.

Instead of waiting for danger to come out of nowhere, it is better to take the initiative. In order to get rid of Ye Lan once and for all, Rhine must do something.

"Wait a moment, I'm going to the bathroom." Rhine said to Ye Lan.

"Yeah." Ye Lan continued to tour the streets without paying any attention.

Rhine left alone and found a corner. The black cube gradually spread over his whole body. The next moment, the corner was silent, as if no one had ever been there.

"Leonid."

"Yes, my lord..."

……

"Here, this is for you." Rhine held two candied haws and handed one to Ye Lan.

Ye Lan looked at the candied haws in Lai Yin's hand and didn't reach out: "I don't like sweets very much, and besides, didn't you go to the toilet?"

"I washed my hands." Rhine spread his hands.

Then he took back the candied haws: "But, I'm sorry, I don't quite understand your preferences."

In fact, Rhine knew very well that Ye Lan liked spicy food. As for why she hated sweets, it was mainly because she was afraid that the "sweet" satisfaction would make her lose her vigilance and weaken her will.

After all, Rhine also had Ye Lan's level 10 favorability business card, so it was impossible for him not to know these things. He just had to buy an extra one in order to appear normal.

Seeing Rhine take back the candied haws, Ye Lan was quick-witted and quickly stretched out her wrist towards him, pinched the stem of the candied haws with her fingers, and pulled it out of Rhine's hand.

"It won't happen again." Ye Lan shook the bright red candied haws in her hand and smiled mischievously.

"I was the one who invited you, why do you feel like I did something wrong?" Rhine complained.

"Of course..." Ye Lan was about to explain when she caught a glimpse of a figure.

Wearing an executive officer's cloak, hood and mask.

"heresy"!

Ye Lan returned the candied haws to Lai Yin: "Wait for me, I'll be back in a while."

Under Rhine's puzzled gaze, Ye Lan followed quietly.

An experienced hunter should not hunt prey without any preparation, especially when the prey is very strong.

Of course, there are occasional exceptions, for example, the value of the prey is very high, high enough to make the hunter risk his life.

The "heretic" has been at the White Horse Inn all along, and Ye Lan has never had the chance to get close to him, but now it's different.

He was alone.

Ye Lan transformed into a water shadow, hiding in the streets, quietly following the "heretic", and the executive officer seemed to be defenseless.

The "heretic" who never leaves the hotel suddenly appears. Ye Lan's intuition tells her that this executive must be involved in something important tonight.

"really."

Ye Lan transformed into a water shadow and watched the "heretic" enter a house, and a Fatui dressed as a debt collector walked out of the house.

Ye Lan was about to sneak into the house, but suddenly froze.

Rhine is still waiting for him.

Thinking of the guy with a puzzled look on his face and two strings of candied haws, Ye Lan looked hesitant.

She was indeed unprepared, and it was not a good choice to rush in now. It was true that she liked danger and excitement, but that did not mean she was irrational.

But Ye Lan changed her mind and realized that the "heretic" was inside, and if she wanted to eavesdrop on some important information, now would be the best time.

"I should have taken a bite of the candied haws first." Ye Lan thought.

At least that little bit of sweetness could help her calm down.

The next moment, Ye Lan quietly climbed over the wall and stepped into the courtyard.

There is no way. In this line of work, they always have to face risks. If they don’t do it because of those dangers, why did they choose this industry in the first place?

The house was not big, and Ye Lan easily found the location of the "heretic".

"Sir." A man dressed as a debt collector saluted the "heretic".

"Speak." The heretic's voice was hoarse and low.

The debt collector lowered his head and replied, "I have tried it. The power in the Layered Abyss is indeed related to the abyss, but it is too mottled and chaotic to be used.

The Doctor's inference is very likely wrong."

The heretic said coldly: "Dottore has always been like this, doing whatever he thinks of. Anyway, he has so many slices, so he doesn't need to care about time and energy.

The Layered Abyss is no longer worth studying. Evacuate all those who disguised themselves as treasure-stealing groups and infiltrated the 9th Company.

Our mayor is beginning to think that I am overreaching."

"Yes, but..." The debt collector hesitated.

"Speak." The "heretic" was obviously getting impatient.

The debt collector bent his body even lower: "Sir, when I was evacuating, I met someone from the General Affairs Department. I was no match for her, so I had to borrow the power you gave me."

Ye Lan eavesdropped on their conversation, looking puzzled: "Doctor, mayor? What exactly are they going to do? And, it turns out that what I encountered was only a part of the executive's power?"

The "heretic" didn't care much: "I will give you another copy. Don't worry about the General Affairs Department anymore. The focus of the Fatui's future mission will be on Xumi. Since Puccini wants to be a good person, don't worry about him.

Send all the people to Xumi, Liyue is no longer worthy of our attention."

"Yes." The debt collector turned and left.

"The Fatui are going to turn their target to Xumi? Is it possible that all the executive officers here will leave soon?" Ye Lan seemed to be thinking about something.

Obviously, the "heretics" sent people to sneak into the Layered Rock Abyss to explore the secrets therein and utilize the power of the "abyss", but they found that those powers were not suitable, so they gave up the plan and set their sights on Mount Sumeru.

In this way, Liyue should no longer be in any danger. At least, it will not have to face the threat of the Fatui in the short term.

Realizing that there would be no more intelligence, Ye Lan turned and left.

But she was so nervous that she didn't notice that a dry and yellow leaf fell from the old tree in the yard and landed next to her high heels.

In the silent courtyard, Ye Lan's heels pressed on the leaves, making a crisp sound.

"Who?"

As Ye Lan pulled her feet away from the thick and hard dead leaves, she saw countless black and red cubes shooting towards her.
