Besides Cola, there were many other delicacies, all from the world of One Piece. For example, those charming wines. Coupled with Xiangling's specially made roast meat, the atmosphere became more and more lively.
As they ate, Hu Tao put down her chopsticks and sighed. "Sigh… it's a pity that old fossil Zhongli isn't here at such a lively time. Otherwise, it would be even happier."
He had been fine the last few times, quite cooperative. But recently, he had been going out often and hadn't even come to the gatherings. What a pity.
Ningguang smiled. "The adepti do not wish to interfere in mortal affairs. It's already very good that he joined the group. We've already done nineteen missions. The promotion mission will be coming soon. At that time, we will inevitably have to ask this adeptus for help."
"The promotion is still a long way off; at least the thirtieth mission… But the more I cultivate, the more I feel the power of the adepti."
Through this mission, Beidou felt that she was still not strong enough. During the last promotion mission, how dashing Zhongli had been. She had felt troubled just facing two experts, which proved her strength was still lacking.
At this moment, a figure walked in from outside.
Su Han glanced over and was very surprised. Why is the Conqueror of Demons here?
The others were also very surprised to see Xiao's arrival.
"This is an adeptus, right?"
"I remember that after the battle with the Vortex Archon, the Conqueror of Demons went to The Chasm and stayed there for a long time."
"Don't tell me something has happened in The Chasm again."
The crowd whispered among themselves.
Xiao looked at Su Han and said, "Can you come out for a moment? I need to speak with you."
"Alright."
Su Han got up and went to the garden. Looking at Xiao, whose complexion was noticeably better, he smiled and asked, "How have you been recently? Are the Dragon Veins useful to you?"
"Mm. It has been quite good recently. The power of the Dragon Veins exceeded my expectations. The baleful energy in my body has been mostly purified. I even feel that as long as I persevere, I can completely change my yaksha constitution and not cause harm to mortals. Thank you, Su Han."
Xiao did not have his usual coldness. Instead, there was a faint smile on his face. At the same time, there was also a trace of unconcealable loneliness.
He, the yaksha who understood the human heart the least, was instead the one who had survived the longest. But his other four brothers and sisters had long since departed. What loneliness.
Su Han nodded. "As long as it's useful to you. What do you need me for?"
"Mm… it's like this. Of the five of us yakshas, three have had their corpses confirmed, but… there is still one whose whereabouts are unknown. According to investigations, he may have appeared on the battlefield of The Chasm. But… I have searched for a long time recently, but haven't found any trace of Big Brother Bosacius. The Lord Emperor happened to pass by nearby, so I asked him. He said that perhaps finding you might yield an answer."
In the past, the five strongest yakshas were as close as siblings. Even though three had completely died and their bones were buried, there was no news of Big Brother Bosacius alone.
Now that he had regained his clarity, Xiao wanted to find him. Even finding a corpse would be enough to put his mind at ease.
Su Han was stunned for a moment, then said, "He is indeed beneath The Chasm. However… he is in the deepest layer. Or rather, he is inside the magical artifact, the Fantastic Compass!"
"What? So you knew." Xiao was a little surprised. He had originally just wanted to come and try, but he hadn't expected the other party to actually know about Big Brother Bosacius.
Su Han nodded. "Back then, when the monsters of Khaenri'ah attacked and Liyue suffered greatly, Bosacius, the warlock Boyang, and other humans lured the monsters into the Chasm together. The monsters surged like a tsunami. To protect Liyue, these people chose to sacrifice themselves… and never returned."
The Liyue of today had reached this point through the sacrifices of countless people. If not for the sacrifice of the yaksha Bosacius and the warlock Boyang, perhaps those monsters would have counter-attacked Liyue. One could say… they gave their lives for Liyue. Especially Bosacius, who was in charge of slaughter, who wanted the humans to return to the surface even in death. What a spirit.
"So that's how it was…" Hearing his big brother's story, Xiao was moved.
What of adepti? What of yakshas? In the end, they were all living beings.
While they were chatting, two more people arrived outside the door.
The first had short blue hair and wore a white coat over her shoulders. The second was a woman with long pink hair and beautiful, verdant green eyes.
Seeing the two of them, Ganyu was surprised. "Yelan… Yanfei? Why did you two come together? How rare."
"Welcome, you two. Come, sit down and eat."
Faced with Keqing's invitation, Yanfei looked around and shook her head. "I'm not here to eat. May I ask where Lord Su Han is?"
"I'm also here to find him," Yelan said calmly.
Hearing that both of them had come for one person, Beidou frowned. "What do you want with him? Has something big happened in the city again?"
Generally speaking, Yelan was a person who slacked off very seriously. It was rare for her to come to the door on her own initiative. For her to come today was truly a miracle.
At this moment, Ningguang said, "Sit down and eat first. He was called away by the Conqueror of Demons. He'll be back in a bit."
"The Conqueror of Demons? He's here too? That's impressive." Yanfei was very shocked.
According to the elders in her family, that adeptus was the most solitary. Because the power on a yaksha's body would cause bad effects on humans, he lived in the Wangshu Inn year-round and rarely left.
Ganyu nodded. "Mm, just a while ago. He came to find Su Han for something. By the way, Yanfei… why have you come?"
"It's like this… I found a will earlier. It said to let me retrieve the magical artifact, the Fantastic Compass, from beneath The Chasm. According to witnesses, someone took it into The Chasm back then. So I thought I'd come and ask Lord Su Han. After all, there is a sacred artifact suppressing that place. I was afraid of an accident," Yanfei said, a little embarrassed.
The Chasm. Although it was now open to the public, as a high-ranking member of Liyue, she still knew some inside information. For example, that there were Black Serpent Knights inside helping Liyue guard the Chasm. And even adepti had gone there recently.
At this time, Yelan also added, "I'm here for my family's ancestor… so I wanted to go deep and explore. I happened to meet Yanfei and felt it was necessary to come over."
She had been very distrustful of Su Han at first. But ever since the Archon was sealed, she had also acknowledged him. So she came over to listen to his advice. Perhaps there would be unexpected gains.
"The Chasm… that is quite a dangerous place. If you go there to explore… you'd best be careful."
Yelan looked towards the voice and found that there was actually a strange woman at the dinner table. She had silver eyes and a very dangerous aura.
"Who are you? Why have I never seen you before?"
"Me? I am Su Han's personal secretary. Is this answer satisfactory?" Rosalyne ate the dragon meat, looking at her with a smile.
When she had first come to Liyue, this woman had caused her quite a bit of trouble. Now that they met again, she couldn't help but want to tease her.
Yelan's eyes turned cold, and then she realized. She seemed to have seen the other party's aura before. And it was someone she dealt with often.
"You are… Fa—"
"Yo… so many people today? Let me guess… you're not all here because of The Chasm, are you?"
Just as Yelan was about to reveal Rosalyne's identity, Su Han came over with Xiao.
Seeing them arrive, Yanfei quickly walked up and smiled. "Mhm-hm. As expected of the National Treasure. You actually know why we came."
"My Observation Haki is pretty good. Since you're all here for The Chasm, then after we eat, I'll take you down for a trip."
"Really? You're going with us?" Yanfei hadn't expected this lord to personally take action.
Ningguang asked at this time, "Will it be dangerous?" Compared to what was beneath The Chasm, she cared more about Su Han's safety. No treasure was as important as him.
Su Han smiled. "It's fine. There's just a magical artifact beneath The Chasm… it's not dangerous. I understand the situation inside quite well. Going down this time is also to do something important. Since you're all here for The Chasm, it's good for me to go too."
Hearing him say this, Ganyu looked at him and said, "Do you need my help?"
"No… this time it will just be a few of us, plus Shenhe and Rosalyne. The others should busy themselves with other things." Su Han shook his head and refused the little Cocogoat's offer.
There was still a lot of work to be done with the things Beidou had brought back. If everyone went, who would do the work?
As for bringing Shenhe and Rosalyne, it was a matter of necessity. The former's heart was tied to him; if there was trouble, she would definitely rush over regardless of her own safety. The latter was the type who had nothing to do. Ask her to help Liyue? Definitely impossible. Since that was the case, it was better to bring her along to do odd jobs.
Seeing that Su Han's mind was made up, everyone said no more. Because he never failed.
Beidou chuckled. "Before you go on your business trip, have a full meal! You can leave in the afternoon!"
"Mm, that's what I planned, too. Yelan… Yanfei, sit down."
Su Han invited them to dine. Xiao also sat down to enjoy the delicacies. After just one bite, he knew that this meat was no different from before. It was all meat from powerful demonic beasts. He didn't know where Su Han got it from, but to be eating it every day… he really was no simple person.
