Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

After making the decision to destroy the Wind Demon Dragon, Qin suddenly made a request to Rikuo.

Gathering the dragon-slaying team will take time, and she can't leave for the time being. However, she is worried about Kaeya, since it is related to the Fatui.

Given the current situation, she didn't want any further unexpected events to occur.

"Do you need me to run errands? Just pay me."

Lu Sheng readily agreed.

"Can you help me find Kaiya? If possible, it would be best to persuade him not to clash with the Fools."

"No problem, I'll go right now."

Lu Sheng bid farewell to Qin and Lisa, asked the guard behind the door for Kaiya's whereabouts, and then set off to search for him.

Deep inside a warehouse that no one can find...

"Quack! I really don't know anything about the Sky Harp! Stop hitting me!"

The man, dressed in winter clothes, was beaten to his knees, and his usual arrogant demeanor vanished completely.

He never imagined that an official from a diplomatic mission would be kidnapped, beaten, and humiliated in a foreign land.

Damn it! These are all things the executives are doing, but in the end, they're the ones who have to bear the consequences.

Betraying the Fools means death, not confessing also means death, what a bunch of idiots.

Yes, once this mission is over, I'll go home immediately and never be a fool again.

Kaiya rubbed his aching wrist, a feeling of admiration rising in his heart.

"They didn't even say anything after being beaten like this. The dog training methods of Zhidong Kingdom are really effective."

Just then, the warehouse door was pushed open, and when Kaiya turned around, she saw that it was Riku.

"Wow~ you actually found me. Looks like I'll have to choose a more secluded spot next time."

Rikuo glanced at the Fatui members next to Kaeya, whose faces were now swollen like pigs, and shook his head helplessly.

"Kaiya, how could you do this?"

Seeing someone enter, the Fool felt as if he had grasped at a last straw, straining forward and complaining, "That's right! The Knights of Mondstadt are so rude! They actually dared to attack a foreign diplomatic mission! Waaah! Sir, if you hadn't come soon, I would have been beaten to death!"

Click!

Lu Sheng turned around and closed the warehouse door tightly again, then locked it.

"Remember to lock the door next time, it wouldn't be good if someone saw it."

"Huh?"

The smiles that were just about to appear on the faces of the Fools instantly froze.

Kaiya shrugged and explained, "It was my oversight. I'll be more careful next time. But what are you doing here? Did Jyn send you to call me back?"

"Yes, Qin has decided to go on an expedition to defeat the Wind Demon Dragon and asked you to go back to prepare for the battle. Have you found out anything about it?"

Kaiya shook her head. "Not yet. This guy is very stubborn; you can't get anything out of him."

Rikuo stepped forward, glanced at the wounded member of the Fools, and sighed, "Alas~"

Kaiya: "What? You think it's wrong of me to use vigilante justice? Of course I know it's wrong, but in special circumstances, special measures are necessary, otherwise..."

"No, I think you're being a bit too conservative."

Kaeya: ? ? ?

"I know a little bit about how to get people to talk."

Lu Shen bent down, revealing a daisy-like smile.

There's an old saying in Liyue: "Those who understand the times are the heroes..."

In a short while, the Fools completely forgot their creed of never betraying their cause and spilled all their plans in Mondstadt.

"I confess! I confess! We did indeed intend to steal the Sky Harp! Our plan was to use the Sky Harp to summon Stormterror and use Stormterror as bait to lure out your Wind God Barbatos!"

“Barbatos?! He hasn’t appeared for hundreds of years, what do you want with him?” Kaya questioned.

"I don't know! I really don't know! That was all the order I received! It's true, even if you kill me, I still won't know!"

"Where is the Sky Harp now? Tell me!"

"Oh my god, I swear to the Ice God! We haven't even had a chance to steal it yet! I really don't know where the Sky Harp is now!"

"Still being stubborn! Lu Sheng! Give him another performance of what you just did!"

As soon as Kaiya finished speaking, a row of throwing knives suddenly shot out from the darkness and attacked the two of them!

The two reacted quickly and dodged, but the throwing knife pierced the throat of the Fool, instantly taking his life.

"Traitor, I have taken your life on behalf of the Queen."

A cold, emotionless voice echoed in the darkness, and then a dark figure flashed past the two of them, breaking through the window and escaping.

"You're the debt collector! Stop right there!"

Kaiya chased after her without hesitation.

Lu Sheng was about to follow when suddenly, icy vapor filled the air around him, a chill swept over his entire body, and his limbs became sluggish as if the space itself had been frozen.

"They dared to kidnap a diplomat from the Fools! They are incredibly audacious."

The cold voice traveled through the darkness and reached Lu Sheng's ears.

In an instant, deadly ice spikes swept in like raindrops.

Lu Sheng drew his sword and created a wall of wind, just as he blocked the attack coming from in front of him, when suddenly something else happened under his feet. Ice spikes sprang up from the ground one after another like bamboo shoots after a rain. Lu Sheng did a backflip to dodge the first wave of ice spikes, activated the Stone Skin Technique in mid-air, and after landing and taking the second wave of ice spikes, he raised his hand and fired a palm thunderbolt in the direction from which the sound came.

The figure in the darkness dodged the lightning with a single flash, and at the same time, it quickly approached Lu Sheng with lightning speed.

A slender, jade-like hand, encased in ice, aimed straight for his heart.

Step forward and chop!

At the critical moment, Lu Sheng used the Step Forward Slash to slide behind the person, and without hesitation, drew his sword, aiming straight for the person's heart.

clang!

The sound of a violent collision echoed through the warehouse. When the chill dissipated, two figures facing each other appeared in the center of the warehouse.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

The woman standing in front of Rikuo clapped her hands and praised, "As expected of a hero who could repel the Wind Demon Dragon, you actually survived three moves against me. Not bad."

The woman, with her aloof demeanor, wore exquisite makeup, had blonde hair, and skin as white as snow. Her stunning figure gave her the confidence and the right to become the center of attention.

The fact that Lu Sheng could accurately lock onto the other party at first glance was the highest praise he could give through his actions.

Without a doubt, although the other party did not know him, he knew her.

The eighth seat of the Eleven Executors of the Fools – "Lady".

When I first got into this hobby, I unsurprisingly made a mistake towards a woman.

Image: "Those who can resist making mistakes are geniuses", Location: "Images/1723605680-100413191-111998840.jpg"

"I can continue, want to continue?"

After their exchange, Lu Sheng had gained a certain understanding of the woman's strength.

It is certain that those moves were all deadly, and no mercy was shown. Similarly, I did not hold back when I made my move.

In a life-or-death struggle, hesitation leads to defeat.

But that wasn't the lady's full strength. The Flame Witch was her true trump card. With his current strength, he wasn't enough to defeat her, but if they really fought, he could easily escape unscathed.

The woman's lips curled into a slight smile as she said calmly, "Killing you wouldn't require my personal intervention. Anastasia has already told me everything. I heard you wanted to speak with me in person, so I came."

"My men can't hold that guy off for long. Get to the point quickly and don't waste my precious time."

Mondstadt-Liyue Chapter: Chapter Fourteen: My Rules Are the Rules

"That Anmuxi Dali Garden, didn't she tell you my demands?"

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow and asked.

People sometimes laugh when they're extremely speechless, and that's exactly the kind of smile the lady was giving at that moment.

He bullied that little girl to such an extent that he couldn't even pronounce her name correctly, and he still had the nerve to make those outrageous demands?

"You call that a request? Do you think our Fools are like the Seven Gods, there to grant your wishes?"

Lu Sheng shrugged.

"Who would join the Fools' Clan if there were no benefits? Besides, my demands aren't that high, are they?"

The woman paused for a moment.

Not high? What is this kid joking about? Does he even know what level an Executor of the Fools is? The eleven Executors currently in office are all demons who crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. In the Winter Kingdom, where strength speaks, the ultimate goal of every member of the Fools is to become an Executor one day.

However, even now, there are only eleven of them.

This seemingly immature, blond-haired kid wants to be the twelfth seat right off the bat. He's either delusional or has eaten too many mushrooms.

"You brat, why do you want to join the Fatui? You're so close to the Knights of Favonius, and Jean trusts you a lot, doesn't she? How am I supposed to know if you're a spy sent by the Knights?"

Lu Sheng thought to himself, "That's obvious. My system has fixed this upgrade method. If I want to become stronger in the future, I'll inevitably have to stir up trouble everywhere."

With the Fools as his backers, even if he messes up and then blames the Fools, he can still be the same pure, innocent, and kind traveler.

He thought this to himself, but said aloud, "I'm a man who puts interests first. The Knights of Favonius's doctrines of selfless dedication and chivalry are just a headache to hear. They're completely chains that bind me from climbing higher. What I mean is, there's nothing wrong with joining the Knights of Favonius, but the Fatui would offer me a much wider world."

Prison girl, I really want to improve!

The woman raised her head and looked at the blond man in front of her with newfound respect.

“Very well, your sincere honesty aligns with the rules we, the Fools, follow: the strong prevail, the weak retreat. I acknowledge you, but…”

The woman then changed the subject, saying, "It's impossible for you to become an executive officer as soon as you join. Every executive officer in the Fools Clan has climbed to this position step by step through their own abilities. If you want to become an executive officer, you have to rely on your abilities."

"How much ability is considered great?"

"As long as you have the ability, no matter how big you are, it doesn't matter how big you are."

Alright, alright, so you're going to play the riddle-solver with me now, huh?
