Chapter 270: Has he really come to his senses?
At this moment, the Qianyan troops patrolling near Shimen noticed a huge movement in the direction of Wangshu Inn. They couldn't help but suspect that there was a big problem on that trade route. After reporting to the senior generals at a very fast speed, they took their men on horseback to investigate.
By the time the Qianyan Army rode their horses and took thirty minutes to reach the battlefield, the place was already in ruins, with only hundreds of terrifying sword marks up to 20 meters deep standing on the devastated land with collapsed trees.
"Each team will conduct separate investigations. Team 6 will go to the nearest town to conduct interrogations and inquiries. We must thoroughly inquire about everything that happened before this place."
"Understood, Coach Liu."
The captain of the Qianyan Army, who was assigned to the sixth team, responded, then quickly mounted his horse and led the six-man team to disperse to towns or villages not far from here, without stopping for a moment.
On the other side, on the trade road 20 miles away from the battlefield, Ye Li drove the horse and pushed the carriage behind him forward. Looking at the huge ancient tree that was already looming in front of him, his bad mood caused by the Abyss Cult recovered a little.
Yaoyao, who had just woken up from a nap in the carriage, opened the curtain, yawned and said:
"Brother Yeli, when can we get to Dihua Town?"
"Yaoyao, you're awake. According to the map and our visual estimation, it will take us about 20 minutes to reach Dihua Town. You should get some sleep during this time. After all, the battle not long ago was very hard for you."
"Well, Yaoyao understands."
Yaoyao nodded, then shrank back into the car in a daze, leaning on Grandma Ping's body and fell asleep.
In order to ensure that the bumps on the road would not affect Yaoyao's sleep, Grandma Ping cast a little magic spell to achieve a delicate balance between the car and the bumps on the road, which helped Yaoyao sleep more soundly.
There was no conversation along the way. Ye Li and others soon arrived at Dihua Town, which was the closest town to Wangshu Inn. It was also a real town that Ye Li had never seen in the game.
After parking the horses and carriage near the stable under the management of Qianyan Army, Ye Li carried the sleeping Yaoyao on his back and took Grandma Ping into the town. The big box in his hands did not affect the girl behind him at all.
After finding a nearby inn, Ye Li took out the Mora he had obtained from selling his mechanical toys and booked two rooms. One room was occupied by grandma and Yaoyao, and the other was Ye Li's private room.
With light hands and feet, he put Yaoyao on the bed and covered her with a blanket. Ye Li reached out and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, then turned sideways to look at Grandma Ping and said:
"Grandma, I'm going to go out and take a look first, and buy some materials to make the mechanism. You just stay here and look after Yaoyao."
"Well, Xiao Li, grandma knows. Don't worry about Yaoyao. After all, as a master, it is my duty to take care of my disciples."
Ye Li smiled and nodded, then carried the box out the door and began to bargain in the carpenter's shop on the street, trying to buy materials with suitable quality and a price that he felt was right for him.
After a lot of haggling and bargaining with dozens of stores, Ye Li finally gathered some of the materials he had planned.
"Boss, remember, I will come to pick up the goods in two days. If not, the deposit will be returned, and you will even have to pay compensation. Our contract is clearly signed."
"I understand what you mean, little brother. As the most trustworthy supplier in Dihua Town, I will definitely deliver the materials you requested within two days."
"That's good."
Ye Li said this with a serious expression, as if he was getting a great deal, then turned and left, leaving the shop owner with a deep impression of his back.
……
In the meeting hall of the Abyss Cult branch base.
Princess Ying of the Abyss watched in silence as Ye Li used the power transmitted by Grandma Ping to unleash several times his combat power. She spoke with a serious expression, and her voice was ethereal, soft, yet mixed with a hint of indifference.
"From the time and location of the fluctuations in the earth veins and the abyss, it is confirmed that the time is very close to the appearance of the existence that is 80% similar to the Demon God of Dust in the picture. Moreover, the method of controlling external forces does not seem like a beginner at all. Instead, it seems that a strong person can use tiny forces to pry greater power."
"What does Your Highness the Princess mean?" asked an Apostle of the Abyss at this moment.
“Find an opportunity to bring him here. Perhaps we can find what we want from him.”
"But Princess, there is also the Rock King Emperor in Liyue who is eyeing us covetously. If we go there rashly, it would be very inappropriate."
"I said there's a chance, so you should step down first."
"Yes, Your Highness." The Apostle of the Abyss stepped back and left the meeting room.
Princess Ying of the Abyss looked at the new Abyss Apostle who was leaving in front of her with a headache, and suddenly she missed the guy who was always slacking off in the Abyss.
Although that guy is a bit naughty, he is really smart and practical. Compared with the new Abyss Apostle who just left, he is much more useful.
Putting aside the many thoughts in her mind, Princess Ying of the Abyss picked up a book she had drawn, looked at the empty book inside, and said with a smile on her cold face:
"Brother, it won't be long before we meet again."
……
In the main time and space, in the continent of Teyvat, Liyue, inside the Palace of the Rock King in Mount Tianheng.
Gui Zhong looked at the message from Buyer with a serious expression, and said with a hint of worry in his tone:
"The crisis on Xumi's side has basically stabilized, but the news Xiaoli passed on still makes me feel absurd. The future world, or another possible future of Teyvat, is really hard not to care about."
"Gui Zhong, Ye Li will investigate the current situation over there. We don't have to worry for now. With his intelligence, our presence over there and the other him, we might be able to help him come back early."
At this moment, Morax, who still didn't know that there was no Ye Li in another time and space, and even died in the Demon God War, calmly comforted Gui Zhong, with a little divine light flashing in his golden eyes, and said in a very serious attitude:
"All we can do now is to manage Liyue well, so that when the child comes back, he won't have to suffer so much."
"Even though you said that, I'm still a little worried about how Xiaoli is doing over there."
Seeing that Gui Zhong was still somewhat worried, Morax could only act according to the comforting method recorded in the book screen that Master Liuyun Jiefeng had given him before.
Reaching out to hug Gui Zhong, Morax stared at Gui Zhong's gray-blue eyes with his golden eyes, and said in a stiff but soft voice:
"Believe in Ye Li, because he is our child."
So close, too close!
Gui Zhong blushed and stared at Morax who took the initiative to hug her for the first time. Her heartbeat accelerated suddenly, although she was surprised by the news conveyed by Ye Li. It was not so fast even when they slept together.
After all, at that time it was basically her who took the initiative, and Morax had no choice but to accept the situation, but now it is different.
Moraxna's sincere and serious gaze really made Gui Zhong, who was used to hugs, feel unprecedented happiness, and even his worries about Ye Li were relieved.
It was quiet at the moment. No. 2 Ye Li, who opened the door silently, saw this scene. He reacted quickly and closed the door lightly. His extremely skilled concealment technique was not discovered by the two people in the room.
"What's wrong with Dad? Has he really come to his senses?"
No. 2 Ye Li looked solemn, leaning against the wall and lost in thought.
