"Su Yuan, since you said Neuvillette will be arriving soon, why don’t we hold off on climbing Mt. Aocang for now and wait here for him?"
Furina spoke up after hearing Su Yuan’s explanation.
"We also need to fully inform Neuvillette of what we know so far, so that he can understand the situation and ntally prepare for what’s ahead..."
"Yeah, I was thinking the sa thing,"
Su Yuan nodded and replied,
"Let’s not approach Mt. Aocang just yet—otherwise, Shuyu might notice and report our movents to Cloud Retainer..."
Everyone nodded in agreent with Su Yuan and Furina’s plan, so they stopped moving forward and decided to rest for a bit on the spot.
They were all quite curious about the one known as Fontaine’s Chief Justice and the Hydro Dragon Sovereign—Neuvillette—
What kind of person was he, really?
"In that case, I’ll excuse myself for now," said Zhongli, leaving the group without saying where he was going.
Su Yuan was montarily speechless.
Just like in the ga’s storyline, Zhongli always deliberately avoided eting Neuvillette—as if sothing bad might happen if the two ever ca face to face...
Still, Su Yuan didn’t stop him.
He figured Zhongli must have his own reasons.
About ten minutes later, accompanied by a swift, clear stream of water, Neuvillette’s figure appeared before everyone.
"Neuvillette!" Furina smiled and quickly stepped forward to greet him.
"Furina, I’m so relieved to see that you’re safe."
Judging by Neuvillette’s expression, he also seed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Neuvillette then turned his gaze to Su Yuan and spoke with a smile:
"Su Yuan, it’s been a while. I didn’t expect to see you here..."
"With you by Furina’s side, I can feel a bit more at ease..."
"But why did Furina suddenly vanish from Fontaine? And how did she end up in Liyue, right next to you, overnight?"
With a puzzled expression, Neuvillette looked toward Su Yuan.
"Neuvillette, things are a bit urgent right now, so I’ll keep it short..."
Su Yuan then briefly explained the recent events and shared the intelligence he had received.
"So that’s what happened..."
Neuvillette nodded thoughtfully and said:
"So appearing in the line of sight of portraits or sculptures of Furina is also a trigger for her Eerie state..."
"But Fontaine is extrely far from Liyue. Even with the full authority of the Primordial Dragon and traveling at top speed along the water currents, it still took quite so ti..."
"How did a Furina already corrupted by the Eerie manage to travel from Fontaine to Liyue in such a short ti?"
"That’s exactly what puzzles as well..." Su Yuan replied.
Su Yuan spoke:
"Could it be that the Eerie Furina has reached such terrifying levels of speed and endurance?"
"Or... I have another theory."
"Perhaps those controlled by the Eerie can use Eerie-corrupted teleport waypoints to travel across Teyvat?"
"If it’s the latter, then the situation is indeed more complicated and quite grim..."
Neuvillette furrowed his brows slightly, then said:
"But right now isn’t the ti to discuss this further..."
"Since you’re trying to dispel Cloud Retainer’s Eerie state, and I happen to be here as well—allow to lend Liyue a hand!"
With that, the group resud their journey toward Mt. Aocang.
On the way, Furina asked Neuvillette:
"Neuvillette, how did you know where I was? How did you know I was in Liyue?"
"It was Focalors..." Neuvillette replied.
"You suddenly vanished from ho last night. Focalors imdiately ca to the Palais rmonia to find and infused a stream of Hydro energy directly into my mind. After that, I could sense your location."
"Huh? Focalors has that kind of ability now?" Furina said in surprise.
"Furina, you and Focalors are essentially the sa person," Su Yuan chid in.
"It’s not strange that the two of you could sense each other."
Before long, the group arrived at the base of Mt. Aocang—and sure enough, they spotted Shuyu waiting there.
To avoid alerting the enemy, Yanfei stepped forward to negotiate with Shuyu and successfully led everyone up the mountain.
anwhile, at the mountaintop cave, "Cloud Retainer" had just received Shuyu’s report.
"Strange... why did they arrive so much later than I expected?"
Dottore, standing nearby with a puzzled expression, spoke up:
"Also, according to the earlier intel from Liyue Harbor, didn’t they go to seek Chongyun’s help? Where is Chongyun now?"
"And what about Morax? With sothing this important happening, he didn’t co along?"
"Although seeing Furina here was both surprising and delightful... why is Neuvillette here as well?"
Dottore let out a sigh and turned to Cloud Retainer beside him:
"When the ti cos, if we need to deal with Neuvillette, we’ll go with the plan we discussed earlier."
"Hmph! I rember everything perfectly—no need for your reminders!"
Cloud Retainer replied with clear disdain:
"Once everything is done, leave behind the blueprints and get lost!"
...........
Su Yuan and his group made their way smoothly to the summit of Mt. Aocang, arriving in front of Cloud Retainer’s domain...
Su Yuan thought to himself, If nothing goes wrong, those chanical constructs should be showing up any mont now!
Sure enough, before long, the ground around them began to quake violently.
From beneath the earth, from the shrubs, from the caves—strange-looking stone beings, tree-shaped creatures, and chanical humanoids began to erge.
"Everyone, be careful! These constructs are immune to elental power!"
Su Yuan shouted a warning:
"But in the end, they’re nothing more than worthless scrap! Let’s blast them to pieces!!"
The next mont, everyone launched into action, unleashing their abilities against the chanical enemies!
"Tartaglia, I’m counting on you!" Su Yuan spoke to Tartaglia in his mind.
"Tear those constructs apart!!"
Thanks to thorough preparation and careful strategy, these seemingly fearso constructs—immune to elental energy—were ultimately no threat at all to Su Yuan’s team.
anwhile, hidden inside the cave, Dottore watched the scene outside with confusion.
"Strange... Why do they look completely unsurprised by the sudden appearance of the constructs?"
"And how did they instantly know these constructs are immune to elental attacks—before the battle even began?"
"This must be the work of Su Yuan’s incomprehensible intelligence network again!"
"Su Yuan... One day... no—today—I will uncover the truth...
Where exactly is your intel coming from?!"
