The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 81 The mysterious object arrives in Mondstadt

In the Ke family stronghold in Mondstadt, all the fighting forces of the Ke family in Mondstadt were secretly mobilized here. The defense level was so high that even a fly would have to be poked with several holes in its body by the white tassel spear before it could fly away, let alone humans.

Uncle Liu, who is already in his sixties, is now pacing in the lobby, with an anxious look flashing on his face, and there is no trace of his usual calmness.

"Hey, why haven't you come back yet?"

Glancing at the brightly lit but empty gate, the anxiety on Uncle Liu's face deepened. The guards around him quietly stayed at their posts and no one answered Uncle Liu's questions. Today they had received the first highest-level conscription of the Ke family in more than a decade. At this time, let alone answering Uncle Liu's questions, they could not be distracted even if the head of the Ke family came.

"Uncle Liu, I got the stuff."

Under Uncle Liu's eager anticipation, Xiaoyi lived up to expectations and hurriedly ran to Uncle Liu with a box in his arms.

Without taking a break, Xiaoyi immediately handed the box in his arms to Uncle Liu. The things in the box were brought back by the Ke family of Mond and Xumi with all their efforts. He had been holding the box in his hands all the way and would rather drop it than let it get damaged.

"Good good."

After checking that there were no signs that the special box had been opened, Uncle Liu breathed a sigh of relief. After ordering the guards around him to find Ruo Jin, he patted Xiaoyi on the shoulder and asked.

"Has the wealthy Xumi businessman named Dolly come in person?"

"No, it was her men who came. After I paid a total of five million Mora as agreed, the man returned to the hotel under the cover of night."

Upon hearing that Dolly, the wealthy businessman who had connections in Xumi, did not come, Uncle Liu nodded with a hint of regret, but since the real boss did not come, he could settle for the second best.

"Give Dolly's men another 500,000 Mora to the man who delivered the things. You know what to say, Xiaoyi."

"By the way, is Anthony that boy injured?"

"Don't worry, Uncle Liu. The Knights of Favonius will never let Anthony get hurt. What's more, our people are following Anthony in the dark."

After writing down what Uncle Liu had told him, Xiaoyi told Uncle Liu roughly what happened to Anthony. Knowing that Anthony was not injured, Uncle Liu was relieved. He did not expect that the unintentional action that day would have such a big impact today.

"Let's arrange an easy job for Anthony. He helped our family so much this time, so he deserves a job with a better salary."

While Uncle Liu was explaining this to Xiao Yi, the Angel's Gift banquet had already come to an end, and everyone, having eaten and drunk their fill, was saying goodbye and preparing to go home.

Because Ruojin planned to return to Liyue tomorrow morning, Klee was taken home by Captain Qin tonight. Although Klee was reluctant to leave Ruojin, Xiangling and Guoba, she was a sensible child. After making an appointment with Ruojin to take her to Liyue to set off fireworks during the Lantern Festival, Klee reluctantly followed Captain Qin back home.

Although Wendy, the God of Wind, is unreliable, he gave Ruo Jin what he wanted after signing the contract, a small stone that would glow when it approached the Rock King.

The sealed Dragon King Ruota stared at the small stone for a long time but could not find anything unusual about it. But now that Morax was not here, he could not say that the small stone was useless. He could only ask Ruojin to keep it for now. If it was useless, he would come to Mond to settle the score with this drunkard.

When everyone was almost leaving, Wendy called Ying and said he had something to say to her. Seeing this, Ruo Jin could only take Xiangling and leave first.

On the way home with Xiangling and Guoba, Ruojin and Xiangling talked about the gifts they would bring to their friends in Liyue Harbor tomorrow. The gifts for others were easy to think about, but what to give to Hu Tao made them feel troubled. Let's buy clothes for Hu Tao. Hu Tao's size may need to be customized. After all, clothes for a girl's body are wide in the front, and children's clothes need to be enlarged for Hu Tao to fit into.

Buy her some food. Hu Tao runs such a big Wangsheng Hall and he must have tasted the specialties of many countries.

"How about I go to West Wind Cathedral tomorrow morning and ask the nuns there if they want to sell their nun uniforms? This can be considered a Mondstadt specialty, right?"

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't think of what gift to bring to Hu Tao. Ruo Jin accidentally glanced at the West Wind Cathedral, and a not very mature idea suddenly jumped into his head.

Ah, this does seem like a good suggestion, but for some reason, when Xiangling recalled the nun uniforms worn by the nuns in Mondstadt, she felt a little sour.

"Master Ruojin, Uncle Liu asked you to come over. The things have arrived."

Just as Ruojin and Xiangling were talking, a guard dressed in black suddenly jumped out from the corner of the street. Hearing the guard's words, Xiangling said to Ruojin very sensibly.

"Brother Jin, go quickly. I'll wait for you at home."

"Don't worry, I'll take you back first. The stuff has already arrived. As long as it's not taken out, it won't be lost. No one dares to rush into the Ke family's base to steal things."

In Mondstadt, Ruo Jin was not worried that his things would be snatched away by Uncle Liu. He was worried that Xiangling would be in danger walking alone at night. The Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt had been investigating unknown things with the disciplinary officers from Xumi recently, and the number of patrolling Knights of Favonius had decreased a lot. Ruo Jin was worried about Xiangling going home alone.

After successfully sending Xiangling home, Ruojin quickened his pace and came to the Ke family's base. Uncle Liu had been waiting for Ruojin here for a long time. Seeing Ruojin coming, Uncle Liu carefully handed the box in his hand to Ruojin.

Seeing that the mechanism box in his hand was of the highest level in the Ke family, Ruo Jin was shocked. He still underestimated the thing Uncle Liu talked about at that time. This was the first time he had seen something in a mechanism box of this level in his eighteen years of living in the Ke family.

"Uncle Liu, do you know what's inside?"

"Ahem, Master Ruojin, according to the rules, I am not qualified to open it. Even if I am qualified, I will not open it easily. The things in this box were exchanged by our family with 90% of Xumi's hidden pieces."

"Countless members of my family were forced to flee to the desert because of this box. If I open the box and the contents are exposed, wouldn't I become a sinner?"

Uncle Liu has worked for the Ke family all his life, so Ruo Jin naturally would not doubt Uncle Liu's loyalty to the Ke family. Just now, she asked Uncle Liu what was in the box purely out of curiosity.

"Can I open it and have a look?"

"Master Ruojin, of course you can."

As the younger brother of Keqing, the Yuheng star, Ruojin's status and position in the Ke family is undoubtedly one of the top ones. What's more, the head of the Ke family has already announced that Keqing will be the next head of the Ke family. Ruojin, the immortal disciple, will not only become Keqing's right-hand man but also ensure the Ke family's prosperity for a thousand years.

Uncle Liu even thought that as long as Ruojin was willing to marry Keqing, Keqing's family would be able to arrange everything needed for Ruojin and Keqing's wedding within a day.
