When Han Yu returned to his residence, he was greeted by Han Jingjing.

"Your hair isn't dry yet!" Following closely behind was Funina, who was holding a towel.

When the father and daughter met eyes, Han Jingjing just stuck out her tongue and then tried to sneak outside!

"Hey, let me go..." Han Jingjing was bound by an invisible energy and stopped right in front of Han Yu.

"You took Dulin to Skok's base?"

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Han Jingjing's temple after Han Yu asked her that question.

"No, he and I were just..." Han Jingjing's voice trailed off, as if she were truly a little girl who had made a mistake.

Han Yu glanced at Du Lin behind him.

"Yes, sir, Big Sister did take me to a space filled with abyssal power, and there was also a tent there."

Dulin recounted everything that had happened in detail, because he had absolutely no idea what lying was.

"You!..." Han Jingjing stared at Du Lin with her big, watery eyes, her face full of resentment.

"You big, stupid dragon! I told you I'd protect you, and you've betrayed me like this—"

Dulin was clearly puzzled as well, wondering why the big sister he had just recognized was suddenly angry with him.

Firstly, Rheindorf's order was for Dulin to pledge allegiance to Han Yu, so he dared not conceal what the latter had to say.

Fu Ningna caught up and placed the towel directly on Han Jingjing's hair.

"Jingjing, is all of this true?"

Looking utterly wronged, Han Jingjing buried her face in Fufu's arms, "I didn't mean to..."

"This way, Lady Skykirk," the puppet's voice came from outside the corridor.

Skirk followed behind. As far as the puppet was concerned, she had never neglected anyone who was a friend of the Grand Duke.

To be honest, this is very business-like.

“Thank you for your help,” Skykirk replied.

Then the two witnessed a scene in the corridor. Han Jingjing knew that her father would definitely interrogate her this time, and her little eyes darted around...

"Waaaaah... Aunt Skirk, I was wrong—"

Han Jingjing ran swiftly to Si Keke's side, grabbed his thigh, and rubbed her face against him.

"Where did you go wrong?" Han Yu asked sternly.

I never expected that Han Jingjing, who has lived for thousands of years as the Star-Devouring Whale, would still act like a child.

“I shouldn’t have destroyed Aunt Skykirk’s camp, and I shouldn’t have taken Dulin there.” Han Jingjing sobbed a few times.

“I don’t care. The camp was destroyed because of the battle,” Skykirk said, making a startling statement.

Han Yu almost forgot that this person was also a genius, a training and combat maniac.

"Unexpected things can happen in combat and training."

Hearing what Silky said, Han Jingjing knew! Her chance had come!

"Oh right, Dulin and I were just sparring and training, and we accidentally destroyed Aunt Skykirk's camp."

Han Yu nodded. "You know the coordinates of that abyss. Tomorrow, take your tools. You should know what to do."

"Okay..." Han Jingjing sighed.

Han Yu had always regarded Han Jingjing as a rebellious girl. If he didn't discipline her properly and let her run wild, who knew what kind of trouble she would cause him in the future.

"Alright, alright, Mom will go with you tomorrow." Funina really is the type of virtuous wife and loving mother, her eyes full of doting affection.

After everyone returned to their respective rooms, Han Yu called out to the puppet who was about to leave.

"Sandonie, come with me for a moment."

Back in his room, Han Yu brewed two cups of the finest local black tea from Liyue.

"I'm going to the Moon Gate with Columbia tomorrow, so I'll leave it at the Design Bureau."

Du Lin, who had transformed into human form behind Han Yu, bowed.

"As for the Special Territory Research Institute, I have already ordered people to take care of it. If you like, you can tidy it up and use it as your own research institute."

Upon hearing Han Yu's words, the puppet was taken aback.

"Isn't that Dotole's research institute...? The Grand Master just handed it over to me like that?" Sandonne wondered to himself.

The Special Territory Research Institute is located northwest of Nordkale, which is also the location of the Lamplighters' headquarters.

"How about this, you ask the person involved, that would be a way to give him an explanation."

Han Yu threw the doctor out directly.

"Yes, yes! I'm a million times willing, as long as you say the word."

Seeing Dotore's dead state, the puppet looked like it was about to kneel down and kowtow to Han Yu at any moment.

"That research institute is where I used to study Wild Hunt, but... there are some things that I need to handle."

“That’s easy. You go and handle it with Sandone now. I want to see you first thing tomorrow morning.” Han Yu naturally didn’t trust Dotole. As long as he wasn’t there, this guy’s ambition would probably reignite.

"My Lord, why are you so kind to me?" Sandonne finally asked.

"That's easy to understand, because we're friends, right?"

Upon hearing Han Yu's words, Sandone clearly felt his chest burning, his core feeling hot.

After the two left, Han Yu looked at Sandone's retreating figure and sighed.

"She really does have a sharp tongue but a soft heart."

“If I take care of Dotore and keep him under my watch, he won’t be working on any artificial lunar marrow, and that great war won’t happen.”

Recalling the story of Nordkalle, although the protagonist group won, it was only a Pyrrhic victory.

“It may look like a doll, but true emotions don’t lie, don’t you think, Sandonne?”

...

"Is everything taken care of?" Han Yu asked, sitting in the restaurant eating breakfast.

"Everything has been taken care of, Boss. Miss Sandone is very satisfied," Dotole said respectfully.

Seeing that Han Yu was not responding to him, Dotole chuckled.

"Hehe, boss, I know that was all research I did before, which influenced Nordkalai."

“But that’s all in the past. I realized how narrow-minded I was before. Since following you, I’ve learned that there are always higher levels out there. This is far more valuable than becoming a god.”

Dotole expressed his loyalty, regarding elements, phlogiston, and the abyss of light as mere underlings, simply because he was so eager to study the Tai Chi power within Han Yu's body. This high-level energy had shattered all of the doctor's previous understanding.

"Alright, stop flattering me." With a thought, Han Yu drew Dottore into the Heart of Teyvat.

"That's about enough, let's go."

"I'll be leaving the design bureau in your care while I'm away." Han Yu stood up and looked at Lei Ying and Fu Fu.

"Especially you, Han Jingjing, remember to be obedient."

Having finished explaining everything, Han Yu, the girl Columbia, and Raelil arrived at the Frostmoon Child's encampment.

This place is rich in lunar torque energy, making it the perfect location to open the Moon Gate.

"Moon Goddess, you can begin with peace of mind. I have already dismissed all the tribal members here." Lauma crossed her arms and bowed to Columbia.

"Yes, remember, no matter what happens, don't go near here..."
