Livestream room.
Suddenly, such a grand scene appeared, and Guojia was almost scared to death.
Can you imagine a giant dragon suddenly descending from the sky and crashing towards you?
And damn it, it was Ningguang's perspective just now!
Watching the giant dragon, which was five or six people high even when lying down, some viewers with megalophobia felt their hearts clench tightly.
: "???"
: "Oh my god, is that a dragon?!"
: "What the hell happened? This is Rex Lapis, why so sudden?!"
: "Divine Dragon? It certainly fits as the God of Liyue, but isn't it a bit too quick for him to die right after appearing?"
: "Ahem, compared to the drunkard, this dragon looks more like a god!"
: "Holy cow, that scared me just now!"
Guojia had no time to be shocked, because at this moment she had already started to run away, though she didn't know why she had to run.

On Yujing Terrace.
The Millelith led by Mu Qingge were much more powerful than the original Millelith, directly guarding all the vital checkpoints.
Just as Lumine and Paimon were about to escape, some Millelith discovered their small movements.
"Hey, over there, stop and don't move!"
Lumine would not listen, and rushed forward with Endless Acuity .
Even though these Millelith were well-trained, they were no match for the famous Traveler, and were quickly knocked out by the Traveler.
More Millelith rushed towards them.
Lumine gritted her teeth, ready to fight!
Just then, a pleasant male voice came from behind Lumine.
"Hey, girlie— Hold still."
Tartaglia fired several Hydro arrows, knocking the weapons out of the Millelith's hands, then conjured two broken blades, easily taking down the surrounding Millelith.
"Hurry, let's leave here first, it'll be troublesome if that guy catches up."
Tartaglia finished speaking, and was the first to jump over the low wall, with Lumine and Paimon immediately following.
"Hey, which guy are you talking about?"
Paimon flew even faster than Tartaglia, with Lumine chasing hard from behind.
She didn't want to be caught and thrown into jail.
Before knowing whether this so-called Geo Archon had any relation to the one who separated her and her brother, Lumine felt it was better to be cautious.
The three ran to a deserted place, and Paimon put her hands on her hips:
"Huff~ puff~ running is so tiring!"
"I'm the one who's more tired from running, which muscle does magic flight use?"
Paimon was very displeased with Lumine's words:
"Lack of empathy, my phantom limbs are clearly very tired from flying— oh, by the way, who are you, little brother?"
"You can call me Childe."
Tartaglia's words completely aroused little Paimon's dissatisfaction:
"Childe? What, so we're supposed to dote on you?"
"Haha. I didn't mean that. It's an alias of sorts."
...
"You two, you must have met Signora in Mondstadt, right?"
Such an obvious hint immediately put Paimon and Lumine on alert.
"Signora... Childe..."
"You're a Fatui Harbinger?"
Lumine's small face was cold. She still clearly remembered everything Signora had done in Mondstadt:
Beating Venti, freezing Paimon and Ruola, stealing the Gnosis, knocking her out...
Lumine categorized all the Fatui as villains. Now that she saw another Fatui Harbinger, Childe, she naturally wouldn't show a good face.
Even if the other party had saved her and Paimon before.
"No need to be nervous, I'm not here to fight you."
"Signora must have left you with a very bad impression, sigh, that woman... I don't like her either."
"Alright, let's forget about what that woman did for now! I'm here to help you fight."
"Help?" Lumine was still very wary.
"Yes, I'm not a bad person, uh... I'm probably a bad person, but I'm not here to cause you trouble."
"Can I ask you to stop thinking about 'immediately defeating this person' for now?"
Lumine lowered her guard. Although she was still suspicious of Tartaglia, since he said so, she couldn't openly make things difficult for him.
"Thank you for your understanding, Traveler."

The order on Yujing Terrace had basically stabilized, and the onlookers were asked to leave.
The departing crowd kept discussing the Lord's demise, and some even aggressively wanted to approach the Exuvia. Of course, these people were all stopped by the Millelith.
Keqing also arrived at the scene, staring blankly at the dragon's body.
"How... is this possible?!"
After her initial panic, Mu Qingge took a deep look at the dragon's body, then left the area.
Ningguang saw Mu Qingge's expression, and knowing Mu Qingge's fanaticism towards the Lord, she was a little worried and couldn't help but remind her:
"Qingge, don't do anything foolish, don't be impulsive!"
Mu Qingge nodded gently, then quickly left.
---
"It's not convenient to discuss the specifics here. Don't people in Liyue often say 'walls have ears'? Let's go to the Northland Bank first."
Tartaglia explained his position to Lumine and them, and the three prepared to go to the Northland Bank first.
But just then, a dull metallic sound of something hitting the ground came, and the three looked towards the source of the sound.
Mu Qingge's expression was a little cold. Vortex Vanquisher was in her hand; she had just used it to strike the ground.
"Sorry, none of you can leave!"
Tartaglia's expression was startled, as if he hadn't expected Mu Qingge to appear here. He stepped forward first, before Lumine and them could speak:
"Um, Lady Mu, is there some misunderstanding between us?"
Mu Qingge's eyes narrowed: "Misunderstanding?! How do you explain injuring the Millelith? And why did they choose to flee at that very moment?"
"I didn't want to be your enemy, but now, I have no choice but to ask you for an explanation, otherwise, I won't hold back this time!"
Tartaglia had a bit of a headache. Getting involved with this guy, it wouldn't be so easy to get away.
"Lady Mu, you were also present at the Rite of Descension, and I believe you saw that they have nothing to do with the Lord. Rex Lapis is known as the Geo Archon, how could we possibly touch him?!"
Mu Qingge remained silent, just looking at Tartaglia.
Tartaglia saw her look and knew that further words were useless. A fight was inevitable. He didn't want to be caught; the plan had just begun.
However, this place...
---
Livestream room, bullet comments scrolled rapidly.
: "It's about to start!"
: "Wow, the first official meeting with my wife is a fight?"
: "She shouldn't be able to beat us and Childe, right?"
: "Fight! Fight! Fight!"
---
"Hey, um, your name is Mu Qingge, right? We're not bad people. We just arrived from Mondstadt today, and Ruola even asked us to bring you a letter!"
Paimon saw the situation was not good and quickly flew forward to state her identity.
"Ruola?"
Sure enough, hearing Ruola's name, Mu Qingge's aura subsided.
This also made Tartaglia breathe a sigh of relief. If a real fight broke out and the Traveler didn't help, he might very well be captured.
Having sparred with Mu Qingge for so long, Tartaglia knew how powerful this guy was. If she was determined to catch him, he really wouldn't be able to escape.
Lumine handed the letter she carried to Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge opened the letter and read it carefully on the spot.
Actually, she just glanced at it casually, after all, she wrote it herself, so she was very clear about the content.
But the act still had to be played out.
After reading Ruola's letter, Mu Qingge's expression softened.
"My apologies, but your initial flight inevitably aroused suspicion."
Lumine rubbed her head.
It seemed that her and Paimon's behavior was indeed too strange.
"Haha, isn't the misunderstanding resolved now?" Tartaglia said with a smile.
"This is just between me and Lumine. Tartaglia, I haven't settled the score with you for attacking the Millelith yet!"
Tartaglia: "Wasn't I just helping them out?"
Mu Qingge ignored Tartaglia, this guy had been full of lies lately.
She still had a battle with this guy later, and she might as well bring out her Snezhnaya identity.
Since Anqi wasn't going to Natlan now, she didn't have much to do.
She had spent some time in Mondstadt's Dragonspine recently, then returned to Snezhnaya with the Fair Lady, and was now on her way to Liyue.
Since she was Tartaglia's biological sister, it was only natural for the sister to come to Liyue when the brother was there, right?
It would just be a little tough on Tartaglia, as he would have to take a beating.
But it didn't matter, his sister would help him get even.
So, for now, she wouldn't bother him.
"Because I know Ruola, I trust her judgment. You are not the culprits and have nothing to do with this matter."
Hearing this, Lumine and Paimon were both delighted. This meant that they wouldn't have to conspire with Childe to clear their names.
Tartaglia on the side was a bit anxious, but before he could get anxious, Mu Qingge continued:
"Although I believe you, your behavior at the Rite of Descension was indeed suspicious. Furthermore, with the Lord's passing, the mastermind behind it might be difficult to deal with. Though I am confident, I am still not strong enough to face this person. I trouble you to make a trip for me, to Jueyun Karst, to seek out the Adepti."
"Of course, as an Adventurer, I know the rules. I will also provide appropriate Reward."
Lumine was bewildered.
How did they go from being adversaries to her having to go find some Adepti?
She had been exhausted all the way, and hadn't even had a good night's sleep in a proper bed yet.
However, since Mu Qingge suggested it, she would reluctantly agree.
Who made her such a beautiful female general, and who made her Ruola's good friend?
"Since you are Ruola's friend, you are also my friend. Don't worry about it."
Mu Qingge nodded gently.
Indeed, Lumine and Paimon were still very loving.
