Chapter 395 A True Liyue Person
When Xu Ning answered "I" again, Paimon was already shaving his face and sticking out his tongue to tease him.
Kong, both amused and exasperated, said, "Big brother, Dain... he's not someone who likes to joke around..."
"I'm not one to joke around!"
Xu Ning glanced at Kong. Without asking, he knew that this honest kid must have been asked the same question by Daines Reeb, just like him.
However, even a fool would know that the answer would be something like "It's all thanks to everyone's efforts" or "We need everyone to protect it together," since most people would make the same choice when faced with such a question.
Besides, my answer wasn't wrong. My Emperor gave me the Heart of God and a Sword of Contract, leaving me with all the burdens.
I'd love to be a hands-off manager and hand things over to Qixing and Xianren, but all the people standing there are my own family members. If I don't step up, who will?
"Is this your answer? Hmm, I understand. Now, the third question..."
"In this world, there are people who have obtained the Eye of God and people who have not. To you, which type of person is more important?"
Xu Ning smiled, "I think 'I' am the most important!"
"Hey, you drunkard, you're so self-centered! All three answers are just your own thoughts. Did you even think about the problem properly?"
Paimon tapped the table, gesturing for Xu Ning to refill his cup, and asked with dissatisfaction.
Xu Ning looked up at the sky and said, "We should all agree on the answer to this question, right? After all, what we are doing, 'witnessing and recording,' isn't 'me' the most important person?"
Kong shook his head slightly.
“Dain asked me a slightly different question than you. He asked me which of these two types of people is more important to the gods.”
Xu Ning pondered the difference between the two questions for a moment, then turned to the expressionless Dain and asked, "What guidance do these questions you asked have for our next operation against the Abyss Order? Also, have I passed or failed?"
Dain shook his head. "It has nothing to do with whether you pass or not, and it's meaningless. Like I said, it's just to see your understanding and attitude towards the world through these questions and answers."
Xu Ning didn't press Dai Yin on those three questions. Instead, he turned to Kong and asked, "Where did you sense your sister?"
"Wind Dragon Ruins!"
The Wind Dragon Ruins, originally the ancient capital city built by the Gale King, later became the residence of the Wind Dragon Dvalin.
When everyone was trying to purify the Abyss Poison from Dvalin's body, they came here in a hurry, so Xu Ning's impression of the place was just some broken walls and ruins.
"You said you went there to track down those people from the Abyss Order, and found out their target? Or have they set their sights on the Wind Dragon again?"
Kong shook his head slightly. "Not only in the Wind Dragon Ruins, but also in the Wolf Territory, traces of the Abyss Order have been found. For a moment, it's hard to figure out what they're up to. But since the Wind Demon Dragon incident ended, they've disappeared for so long, and suddenly they've appeared in so many places. It can only mean that they're definitely up to something again."
Dain continued, "I tracked the Abyss Apostles here, but I couldn't find them in any of the three places. This just means that this isn't the end of their scheme. A few days ago, we took down a group of treasure hunters. They said they discovered a heavily guarded hideout of an Abyss Order in Liyue. So we're going to investigate there."
Xu Ning hadn't expected that the final source of information would be the treasure-hunting group. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "These guys who are willing to risk their lives for Mora are really bold. They even dared to mess with the Abyss Order. But now that it's in your hands, you must have already found out the location of that hideout, right?"
Dain took out a map from his pocket and marked a spot on the east side of the Heavenly Lake of Mount Aozang.
"According to the members of the treasure-hunting group, it should be in this area."
Xu Ning glanced at the map. It seemed to be quite old, as there were some place names he had never heard of before. However, many of the teleportation points that weren't marked on other Teyvat maps were clearly marked on this map.
Xu Ning pointed to a teleportation point on the west side of their destination. "This is the closest teleportation point. It won't take more than half a day to get here from Mondstadt. We can set off tomorrow morning, it's not too late. It's a rare opportunity to meet..."
"Great! Everyone, let's go to Chenyin Cave and have some delicious food!"
Before Xu Ning could finish speaking, Paimon had already clapped his hands and cheered.
Dain frowned and said, "According to those treasure-hunting groups, this time, because they are going to take over the treasure of the Abyss Order, the northern and southern factions of the treasure-hunting groups are cooperating for the first time, and they have invited a legendary treasure thief from Fontainebleau to carry it out."
"The information we receive is already delayed. If we arrive too late and they alert us, we'll likely find it difficult to obtain any useful information."
“Uh…” Paimon’s face immediately fell, but she knew that what Din said made a lot of sense, so she didn’t say anything else.
Seeing the little guy's disappointed look, Xu Ning laughed and said, "Anyway, we still have a long way to go. You go into the cave first and find Qingyi to get some good food to fill your stomach. We'll call you when we get there."
Paimon immediately perked up and urged Xu Ning to quickly take her inside.
"Kong, do you want to go get something to eat and rest for a while with Paimon?"
Kong quickly replied, "I'd better travel with you, brother!"
After Xu Ning sent Paimon inside, he and the two of them teleported away from the teleportation anchor point.
This was the first time Xu Ning had traveled through the ley lines with others, aside from the time Ying had teleported him and Bai Shu.
While Xu Ning was sizing up the other two, Dai Yin was also looking at Xu Ning.
"How many times have you used ley line teleportation now?"
Without a second thought, Xu Ning laughed and replied, "There are countless examples. It's as if I've never properly walked on my own two feet since I discovered the function of this thing."
Dain's gaze swept back along the way they came several times before finally settling on Xu Ning.
"I heard from Kong that your Eye of God is the Eye of Wine Element, which seems to have never appeared on this Teyvat continent before. Are you an outsider like Kong?"
Xu Ning was surprised that Dai Yin would ask this question: Was he considered an outsider?
Although I have memories of my past life, I have been growing up in this world since I woke up, so I should be considered a native of Liyue!
"I'm not an outsider, I'm a genuine Liyue native, no doubt about it!"
