Hu Tao put a check mark behind the question about the stone lions floating upstream in his little notebook.

"The first problem has been solved, let's set off to the second one immediately!"

Ye Luo rubbed his sore legs: "Is it so urgent? Why don't you go home and rest for a while before going?"

Hu Tao quickly hugged Ye Luo's arm and said, "No, the more we rest, the more tired we will be. Then we won't be able to walk. Now that we are out, why don't we just solve the problem once and for all!"

Ye Luo sighed, "But it's not even noon yet. Look at where you're going next? Red lights, green candles, paper figures and straw horses, are you sure you can see these things during the day? If you can see them, then these "evil spirits" are really rampant. "

"This……"

Xingqiu thought of an excuse for Ye Luo: "I think what Young Hero Ye Luo said makes sense. These things didn't happen overnight. It's unrealistic for us to expect them to be resolved overnight."

"Why not calm down for a while, go back to Liyue Harbor and tell our neighbors about our achievements, so that they can feel at ease and choose to trust us? Isn't that a good thing?"

Ye Luo's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, that's what I meant."

Hu Tao could only nod: "Okay, what you said makes sense, I won't argue with you, but I still have to go out to find out at night, I must know who is playing tricks!"

Ye Luo immediately agreed: "When the time comes, I will definitely not refuse. As long as Hall Master Hu gives the order, I will accompany you even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire. That should be fine, right?"

Walnut smiled with satisfaction: "That's more like it, but you don't have to accompany me to the mountains of swords and the sea of ​​fire. Even if you want to go to that kind of place, I don't dare to go."

Xiangling suggested: "Let's go to Wanmin Hall for dinner. There are no customers today. We can go anytime and there will always be a seat."

Guoba also shook his chubby body: "La la la! Lu lu lu!"

Xingqiu smiled and said, "Since even Guoba thinks so, what are we waiting for? Let's set off now. I haven't even had breakfast yet. I've been running all day and I'm already hungry."

Everyone walked back talking and laughing. Chongyun stroked his chin, looking at the stone lion still buried in the river, thinking deeply.

His brows were furrowed, as if something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what he was worried about.

At the same time, in a ruined tower near Tianheng Mountain...

"Sister! They've gone back." A girl put down the telescope in her hand and looked at the girl behind her.

Another girl who looked exactly like her smiled gently, "Yeah, I expected that. Ye Luo will definitely be able to see the clues. After all, this is a natural phenomenon, not a haunted thing at all."

The two girls were both wearing white robes and veiled hats, and they were holding two swords that looked very similar in their hands, except that one was completely fiery red, and the other was crystal blue with green patterns.

"Will he come out tonight? If we don't see him, then all these difficult problems prepared for him will be in vain." The younger sister asked her elder sister hurriedly.

The elder sister gently touched her younger sister's head and said, "Don't worry, he will come out. So many things have happened in Liyue Harbor. Do you think he has ever stood by and watched?"

My sister smiled mischievously: "Well, if he doesn't come out, I can only go to Liyue Harbor myself and find some fun for him, hehe!"

As soon as he reached the entrance of "Tall of Ten Thousand People", several Qianyan soldiers hurriedly surrounded Ye Luo.

Ye Luo raised his eyebrows: "Wait a minute, I haven't done anything illegal recently, so they don't have to send the Qianyan Army to arrest me."

Qianyan Jun said: "Young Master Ye Luo, Master Keqing wants to see you for something urgent. Please go to Yujing Terrace."

Xiangling asked, "Are you in such a hurry? Can't you wait until he has a meal before going?"

Qianyan Jun said: "Master Keqing has already prepared lunch at the Yujing Terrace and is only waiting for Young Hero Ye Luo to arrive. If you are willing to go together, you can also go together."

"Forget it, forget it. We won't get involved." The four of them waved their hands.

Hu Tao instructed: "Ye Luo, behave well in front of Lady Keqing, and don't forget to report our victory this morning to her."

Ye Luo smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Master Hu, I won't forget everyone's contribution."

After seeing Ye Luo off, the four of them sat around the table in the "Tall of All Peoples", each with their own thoughts.

Xiangling asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll prepare it now."

Hu Tao said excitedly: "Let's have the 'candied sweet potato' that Ye Luo invented. I heard you guys talk about it last time, but I still haven't tried it."

Xingqiu said: "Then I'll order 'Boiled Black Sea Bass', which is your specialty."

Xiangling smiled and nodded: "Chongyun, what about you?"

"Chongyun?"

Chongyun lowered his head, supported his chin, and said nothing. He looked thoughtful for a long time.

Xingqiu asked with concern: "Chongyun, what's wrong with you? You haven't said a word since you came back from the river."

Walnut joked, "You're probably disappointed because you didn't encounter a real evil spirit. But isn't it better for everyone to live in peace? That way everyone will be safe."

"It's not that I feel disappointed!" Chongyun explained, "I just feel a little uneasy. I can't really tell why, but I always feel that this matter is not that simple."

Hu Tao quickly took out her notebook and said, "Of course it's not that simple. We still have so many tasks to complete. This is just the beginning. You still have a lot to do."

Xingqiu nodded: "Yes, although the problem of the stone lions can be solved by natural phenomena, the remaining things look really strange and don't seem to be explainable by common sense."

Xiangling smiled and said, "So, at night, we still have to rely on you to guide us. It's time to play a big role!"

Chongyun sighed, "I don't really want evil spirits to cause trouble, but I have to be on guard. But if I fail to play a role in this operation, it would be a disgrace to us, the Tianheng Taoist Priests."

"No one will think you are ashamed." Hu Tao comforted him, "Wait for Ye Luo to come back from Yujingtai and see if he brings back any useful information. This may be of great help to our actions."

At the same time, Ye Luo had already stepped onto the steps of the "Yujing Terrace". The Qianyan Army around him were all very respectful to him. In fact, Ye Luo was not used to this.
