Bai Zhe and Ke Qing went to the reception room to receive Ying. At this moment, Ying looked a little embarrassed, her short yellow hair was a little messy, and her body was dirty. It looked like she had experienced a lot of battles. Paimon on the side was also Regardless of the image, he sat at the table and ate the tea.
It seems that this commission made them suffer a lot, at least it was not as smooth as usual. After all, unexpected things may happen to any commission.
But Ying was slightly surprised to see Keqing's appearance. As the diplomatic mission of Liyue Port, shouldn't Keqing be in Mondstadt? Why did he appear in Bai Zhe's private residence? Even if he has working relationships with World Snake, he shouldn't be so close to him. Could it be...
Keqing asked calmly and generously: "Traveller, you seem to be surprised to see me. I don't seem to have left any bad impression on you."
Ying also waved her hands in a hurry to deny it, and quickly explained: "No, no, no, I just couldn't help but feel a little surprised when I saw you and Bai Zhe being so close. Although Bai Zhe has always been frivolous like this, but love is such a frivolous guy. The words don’t seem to match you, I didn’t expect it...haha."
After all, the impression Keqing left on you was that of a strong and resolute woman. The general impression she left on everyone was that of a person who is dedicated to work and should not fall in love easily. But obviously judging from the current situation, it seems that she has Bai Zhe succeeded.
Seeing Ying's appearance as a young girl, Bai Zhe was also playful. He put his hand on Keqing's shoulder in front of Ying and Paimeng, and then kissed her on the cheek as if nothing happened.
The two guys were stunned for a moment. Ke Qing also blushed at the sudden movement, her mouth was open and her brain was frozen in place.
I really didn't expect that Keqing would still be so innocent. She had played all kinds of tricks with her, but she still behaved like this when others mentioned her relationship.
Has she never been in love with anyone else? But it's no wonder. After all, she has always been in a high position, has her own pursuits and takes practical actions for it. She has no time for love or simply looks down on the rich kids around her. These are all natural.
Keqing blushed with shame and couldn't help but reach out her hand to cover the place where she was kissed. Although she felt more or less shy, he didn't hate Bai Zhe being so intimate with him, and even liked it a little bit in his heart...especially in front of others. noodle.
These are just interludes. Bai Zhe took Keqing to a seat but still hugged her, and then asked the maids to serve some food for Ying and Paimon to satisfy their hunger. After all, just having tea is not enough. Bai Zhe is indeed very attentive. Please girls.
It is true that Yingying and Paimon were already hungry, but the development of things has exceeded her expectations. The influence of the Knights of the West Wind in the Starfall area is limited, and there is no time at all. After thinking about it, only the World Snake can He had the ability to solve it, so he immediately came to Bai Zhe to report what he had seen, and hoped that he could help him solve these troubles.
Ying was just wanting something when Bai Zhe waved his hand and said, "Let's eat first. It's useless to be anxious now. It's better to fill your stomach and talk slowly."
As delicious dishes were served on the table, Ying's stomach growled unsatisfactorily. Some tea and pastries made her even hungrier. This fuss made her face turn red with embarrassment, it was so embarrassing!
Pretending that nothing happened, Ying held the spoon and began to eat, but from time to time she glanced at Bai Zhe, and the strong ridicule on his face made her eat faster.
It's so embarrassing... But the food is delicious. I still have to thank Bai Zhe for this, even though he hasn't stopped laughing.
Paimon was the first to speak: "Thank you so much! Wuwuwu, Ying and I have been in the forest during this period. Those abyss mages are too much, and that strange guy! I finally made a good meal. The monster overturned it during the battle, and it was the last food, causing us to eat several wild fruits... Wuwu."
When complaining, Paimeng burst into tears. His aggrieved look almost had the word "misery" written on his face. It seemed that he had endured hardship during this trip.
Ying had a helpless expression on her face, Paimon acted as if he had abused her, she had gone through it like this, and she was still fighting reluctantly along the way.
Ying also knew that he should say thank you. After all, he had been taken care of by Bai Zhe not once or twice. Last time, he took Bai Zhe's tailwind horse to Xingluo Town, which also caused him a lot of trouble. This time, he also reported information. It can be regarded as repaying something in return, although I also have selfish motives.
"I'm full, thank you for the hospitality. Mr. Bai Zhe, do you still remember the ruins I mentioned to you before?"
Bai Zhe's memory was outstanding. He clearly remembered that she had mentioned to him before that when she came to Xingluo Town, there was an abyss mage who frequently haunted the ruins that she was very concerned about, and she should investigate it after completing the commission from the Adventurers Association. have a look.
"Did you find anything on that ruins?"
Ying nodded with a serious face, turned his eyes slightly to recall, and then said: "Before we even got close to the ruins, there were already obviously more monsters around, including Qiuqiu and thugs. There were also a lot of them. Yours Didn’t people notice this?”
Bai Zhe just said to the maid waiting at the side: "Map."
Then the tableware on the table was cleaned, a detailed map of the Starfall area was laid on it, and then Ying began to identify the location of the ruins.
Bai Zhe looked at the place pointed by Ying and said: "The monsters in that area are very peaceful, and World Snake's manpower is not particularly abundant. We only send people to patrol this place on the avenue, but there have never been any monster attacks." ...This doesn’t seem to be normal. There are so many monsters at the ruins, and they seem to be protecting something.”
Ying was slightly stunned that he clearly had everything. This guy was able to deduce this information based on such a little information. Bai Zhe was really as scary as ever.
Ying nodded and continued following Bai Zhe's words: "Yes, those monsters followed the command of the Abyss Master and sealed off the ruins. If Fischer hadn't provided me with the information, the average adventurer would have died there long ago. "
"There is a special ruin guard there, and the Abyss Mage seems to be able to control it freely... It's weird, really. I have seen many ruin guards, but that ruin guard is different. It seems to contain special power."
