Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

"Oh? Really?" Ying looked at Su Xun with a half-smile, "Then what were you looking at when you stared at me for so long?"

"I..." Su Xun was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

He was just thinking about something just now...

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore." Ying said with a smile, "Let's go find Xin Hai quickly and don't keep her waiting for too long."

Having said that, Ying pulled Su Xun and Paimeng and quickened their pace, heading out of the city.

……

Haizhi Island, Coral Palace.

A pure and flawless girl, as beautiful as a pearl in the ocean, was sitting in the study room inside the bedroom, holding a military book in her hands and reading it carefully.

This girl is none other than the present-day divine priestess of Kaiji Island and also the supreme leader - Coral Palace Xinhai!

Suddenly, a witch came in, bowed and said, "Master Coral Palace, the Traveler and Paimon are here and are waiting outside."

"Oh? Are they here?" Xin Hai heard this and showed a hint of surprise on his face, "Please invite them in."

"Yes." The witch responded and then stepped out.

After a while, Ying and Paimeng came in, and Su Xun followed behind them.

"Xinhai, long time no see." Ying said with a smile.

Paimon also waved happily and said hello.

"Traveler, Paimon, you are here." Xinhai put down the book in his hand, stood up and said with a smile.

"Who is this……"

Xinhai's gaze fell on Su Xun, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you." Ying said quickly, "This is Su Xun, um, my boyfriend."

"Su Xun...boyfriend?" Xin Hai was slightly startled, then smiled gently, "It turns out to be Mr. Su Xun, welcome."

Su Xun smiled and nodded, "Ms. Xinhai, I have heard of your name for a long time."

Xin Hai smiled gently, "Mr. Su Xun, you are too polite. Please take a seat."

After they sat down, Xin Hai went straight to the point, "Traveler, Paimon, I invited you here this time because some unusual things did happen on Haizhi Island recently."

Yingmei asked seriously: "What is the specific situation?"

Xin Hai said in a deep voice: "In the past few days, some soldiers of the resistance army have shown strange aging symptoms. After I asked Wu Lang to call them in for questioning, I found out that they secretly got some "secret weapons" from the sponsors."

"Most of these soldiers are competitive and extremely dissatisfied with the Eye Hunting Order. After getting these weapons, they have been using them secretly. I was wondering why the soldiers' strength suddenly increased recently, making the battle situation unusually smooth. It turns out that they used this so-called secret weapon."

"Sponsor? Secret weapon?" Ying was a little confused.

"Yes." Xin Hai nodded, "Not long ago, someone wrote to me, saying that they were willing to support the struggle of Haizhi Island and sent a large amount of supplies."

"Thanks to this, we can finally recruit soldiers and fight against the shogunate army on the front battlefield.

Although I still have doubts about this...

However, Haizhi Island is not rich, and this supply is indeed a timely help, so I did not refuse.

What's more, their demands are not excessive. They just ask us to do our best to fight against the shogunate army. No matter what their purpose is, at least we agree on this point, so let's just treat it as an ally who is unwilling to show up. "

As he spoke, Xin Hai sighed, "Now it seems that the sponsor's motives are obviously not pure, otherwise they would not provide us with such dangerous weapons."

"So..." Xin Hai looked at Ying and said hopefully, "Traveler, I wrote to you this time to invite you over because I hope you can help me investigate this matter and find out who these mysterious sponsors are and what their purpose is."

"Can't you investigate it yourself? Why did you call us here specifically?" Paimon asked curiously.

Xin Hai explained: "We have also tried to investigate, but these sponsors are very mysterious and we have almost no clues. In addition, the actions of the shogunate army against us have become more and more frequent recently, and we don't have much energy to investigate this matter."

"So that's how it is." Ying nodded, "Don't worry, Xinhai, I will do my best to help you."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Traveler." Xinhai smiled and said gratefully.

"By the way, Xinhai." Paimon suddenly asked, "What kind of weapons do those soldiers with aging symptoms you mentioned use?"

"Oh, I've asked Wulang to investigate, and now we're just waiting for the results." Xinhai said.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

At this time, a strong young man with brown animal ears and a big furry tail walked in after asking for instructions.

"Lord Coral Palace! The investigation results are out!" The animal-eared boy, who is also the general of the rebel army, Goro, said solemnly as soon as he came in.

"What exactly is that secret weapon? Goro, tell us quickly!" Paimon urged curiously.

"Ah, it's the Traveler and Paimon, and this one is..." Goro then noticed Ying, Paimon, and the unfamiliar face of Su Xun, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

Ying smiled and waved, saying, "This is Su Xun, he is my boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?" Goro was a little surprised.

This powerful traveler actually has a boyfriend?

Then her boyfriend must also be a strong man, right? Otherwise, the traveler wouldn't be so attracted to him.

"Hello, Mr. Su Xun, I am the general of the rebel army, Wu Lang." Wu Lang said solemnly.

Su Xun smiled and nodded, "Hello, General Wulang."

"Okay, let's get down to business first." Xin Hai waved his hand, "Wulang, did you get their so-called "secret weapon"? "

Wu Lang nodded, and without avoiding Su Xun, he said directly: "Most people who have secret weapons are unwilling to hand them over, but I still got one."

As he spoke, Goro pulled out a black bead similar to the Eye of God from his arms. The bead was transparent, with a red four-leaf rune engraved inside. There was also a round hole in the middle of each leaf, emitting an evil aura.

"This is..." Ying's eyes narrowed.

"It is indeed this thing..." Su Xun chuckled.

Xin Hai looked at the two of them, "Oh? Traveler, and Mr. Su Xun, do you know this thing?"

"This is the evil eye of the Fatui!" Yingmei said firmly.

"So, the identity of the sponsor is actually the Fatui?" Xin Hai frowned slightly.

"But why would the Fatui do this..." Wu Lang asked in confusion. "There is no time to think about it. The most important thing now is to inform the army as soon as possible to stop using the evil eye! All soldiers who have shown abnormalities recently need to receive treatment. I hope they can be treated in time." Xin Hai showed a worried look on his face.

"Well, I've already sent someone to notify them." Wu Lang nodded. "But what about those soldiers who have already used the evil eye? Their bodies have been corroded. Even if they stop using the evil eye, the lost vitality can no longer be restored. I'm afraid..."

"Alas~" Xinhai sighed, "I can only do my best."

Seeing that Xinhai and Wulang both looked worried, Suxun and Ying looked at each other.

Under his girlfriend's burning gaze, Su Xun smiled helplessly, then said: "Ms. Xinhai, don't worry. Maybe I can help those soldiers who used the evil eye to restore some vitality."
