This MC is so original

Grandma Ping shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, young man. I'm old now, and it's late at night. I'm a little tired. I'll leave the record-taking to my apprentice."

"Eh?" Xiangling puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction and muttered softly, "I want to sleep too. Master, aren't you usually drinking tea and enjoying the night view at this time? Are you going to bed so early today?"

Seeing that her excuse was exposed, Grandma Ping glared at Xiangling unhappily and secretly sent a message to Xiangling.

"Silly girl, that young man just now was a little strange, and I'm not sure about his identity, so I need to go talk to an old friend. I'll leave the matter here to you."

“Eh—I really want to go there too…”

However, since it was her master's request, Xiangling did not refuse. She could only nod frustratedly at Qianyanjun in front of her: "Okay, let me tell you the cause and process of this matter."

Seeing that someone was willing to cooperate with the master and disciple, Qianyan Jun breathed a sigh of relief, thanked them repeatedly, and then asked Xiangling to go aside to understand the situation.

Grandma Ping walked towards the mud wall on the side and prepared to leave. The Qianyan Army, who were checking the mud wall, also heard the conversation between the leader and the old woman. Seeing that she was about to leave, they hurried over and said.

"Old man, we have set up a ladder here. Do you want me to help you up?"

Grandma Ping waved her hand at him kindly: "Thank you for your kindness, young man, but this mud wall can't stop me, an old woman."

After saying that, Grandma Ping came to the bottom of the earthen wall and raised her hand to press on it. The Qianyan soldier who was looking at her wanted to ask Grandma Ping what she was going to do, but before the words came to his mouth, he saw bursts of light blue light coming out from under Grandma Ping's palm that was pressing on the wall.

"Wind element? This old man possesses the Eye of God?"

A hint of envy flashed in Qianyanjun's eyes. On the continent of Teyvat, everyone wanted to have a divine eye of their own, but not everyone was lucky enough to attract the attention of the gods.

As the light in her palm grew more condensed, Grandma Ping frowned and let out a low cry. A dull bang was heard, raising a cloud of dust.

The sudden loud noise attracted the attention of others, and everyone looked over. As the smoke and dust cleared, Grandma Ping still kept her hand raised, but a dent was blasted out of the mud wall in front of her.

A wall made of mud, yet it couldn't be completely penetrated by a person holding the Eye of God?!

The Qianyan Army couldn't help but widen their eyes again. They were already surprised by the earth pillars hanging in the air, but they didn't expect the earth wall to be so ridiculously strong.

Not only were they surprised, even Grandma Ping who had made the move was a little surprised. She had used 20% of her strength in the previous attack, but she didn't expect that she could only penetrate half of it. Is this really a wall made of mud?

Qian Yanjun, who had been watching her from the side, couldn't help but ask in a low voice when he saw Grandma Ping was so surprised.

"Or...would you rather take the ladder?"

Chapter 20 Could this be his escape route?

Take the ladder?

Grandma Ping's hand that was holding onto the wall trembled. Although she looked old, she was not really so old that she could not move!

After all, she is an immortal. If someone she knows sees her climbing a ladder with someone's support, where will she put her face?

What matters to people in this world is face!

"Thank you for your kindness, young man." Grandma Ping smiled and declined Qian Yanjun's kindness. She lowered her raised hand behind her back and looked up at the top of the wall. She seemed to be explaining to him but also seemed to be talking to herself: "I'm not so old that I can't even cross this wall."

After saying that, Grandma Ping stomped her right foot hard, and she jumped up lightly, flew over the top of the wall easily, and finally landed lightly outside.

The Qianyan Army who were standing on guard on the wall were stunned at first when they saw this scene, then they all applauded and watched Grandma Ping walk away.

Before the Thousand Rocks Army's applause had died down, a soft female voice came from outside the wall.

"What's going on here? Why are you clapping?"

The Qianyan soldiers on the wall looked down, and after seeing the face of the person who came, they stopped applauding, stood up straight on the wall and saluted respectfully.

"Lord Ganyu, Lord Yuhengxing, good evening!"

"Good evening." Keqing nodded slightly, frowning as she looked at the mud wall in front of her. "Why is there a wall here? And there was a noise just now. Did something happen? Why are you all gathered here?"

Keqing had more than just these doubts in her mind. Looking at the mud wall in front of her, a strong sense of incongruity came over her, and she couldn't help but move closer to look at the mud wall.

Soon, the clever Keqing discovered where the sense of incongruity came from. She was surprised to find that the texture of the mud wall was exactly the same on every square meter.

"This wall...could it be him who built it?"

For some reason, when this strange thing happened right before her eyes, the first person that came to Keqing's mind was Lu Xiu.

"Gan Yu."

Keqing turned around and wanted to tell Ganyu about her discovery, but when she turned her head, she saw that Ganyu was staring in a certain direction. When she followed her gaze, she only saw an empty street.

"Gan Yu?"

"Ah, I'm here."

Ganyu came back to her senses and gave Keqing an apologetic smile: "Sorry, what's wrong?"

Keqing glanced puzzledly at the street Ganyu had just been looking at. "What were you looking at over there? Is there something there?"

Ganyu shook her head: "I just saw someone I know, nothing more."

"Okay, come here, help me look at this wall. The texture of every square meter is exactly the same. Do you have any clues?"

Ganyu leaned forward to take a closer look. The result was just as Keqing had described, but after careful consideration, she shook her head and said, "I have no idea. No immortal I know would do this. After all, they don't need to control such details. There's no point in making the textures look the same."

"Is this so..."

This made Keqing even more certain that this wall might have been built by Lu Xiu, but Keqing didn't know why he did this. She had to ask the Qianyan Army who appeared here for details.

At this moment, the Qianyan soldiers had just set up a ladder. One of them climbed down and respectfully approached Keqing. He asked, "Lady Keqing, Lady Ganyu, there is a person involved in the investigation inside. Would you like to go in and listen?"

Keqing and Ganyu nodded. Since they were passing by, they naturally wanted to listen.

"Well, please go this way, the ladder is already..."

Just as the Qianyan soldier finished speaking, Keqing and Ganyu jumped and easily crossed the wall.

Qianyanjun opened his mouth in astonishment and looked at the three-meter-high wall. After a long time, he closed his mouth obediently.

"Well, people with the Eye of God don't like to take the ordinary path."

Keqing and Ganyu jumped into the wall one after another. Keqing thought that the person left behind would be Lu Xiu, but unexpectedly it was someone else.

"Xiang Ling?"

Keqing was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the person left behind would be Xiangling from Wanmin Hall.

When Xiangling saw Keqing and Ganyu, she recognized them, but she had only seen them a few times. In addition, they both held high positions, so they looked a little embarrassed.

"Lord Keqing, Lord Ganyu."

"Just call us by our names."

Keqing has a good impression of Xiangling, especially the golden shrimp balls she made, which are absolutely amazing.

Ganyu also nodded at Xiangling with a smile. She naturally knew Xiangling. After all, she was Ping's disciple and she had met her several times.

After a brief greeting, Keqing asked about what happened to Xiangling: "So, what happened here, Xiangling? Can you tell us in detail?"

Xiangling nodded: "Of course, this is what happened..."

More than ten minutes later, Ganyu and Keqing learned the general outline of what happened from Xiangling.

Keqing's brows were tightly furrowed, her right hand was supporting the lower handle, and her teeth were biting her lower lip, as if she was worried about something.

"Suddenly throwing a bed into someone's kitchen in the middle of the night and sleeping there, and then constructing this bizarre thing out of thin air, it's almost certain he was the one who did it. However, he ate Xiangling's experiment and got poisoned and vomited blood. Is that really okay?"

Thinking of Xiangling saying that Lu Xiu vomited blood several times after eating, Keqing couldn't help but feel worried, and hurriedly asked Xiangling and the surrounding Qianyan Army about Lu Xiu's whereabouts.

"Do you know which direction he went?"

Xiangling and the Qianyan Army all shook their heads in embarrassment.

"Lady Keqing, we were all so distracted by this strange floating mud pillar that we didn't notice where he went. I'm sorry."

Xiangling also showed an apologetic expression.

Keqing was a little disappointed that she couldn't find out Lu Xiu's whereabouts from them. The most urgent task now was to find Lu Xiu and not let him cause any more trouble.

He is already charged with molesting passersby and attacking the elderly. If he is allowed to run around outside alone, there is no telling what kind of trouble he might get into next.

"Keqing, I think maybe we can find that person."

Just as Keqing was anxiously thinking about how to find Lu Xiu, Ganyu, who had been listening quietly beside her, spoke.

Keqing looked at Ganyu with some surprise and joy: "Tell me about it."

Ganyu raised her hand and pointed at the horizontal mud pillar in the sky that extended horizontally from the mud pillar.

"Tell me, after he built a pillar out of mud, why did he extend it horizontally? Is it possible that this extended mud road was his escape route?"

Chapter 21: If Ningguang knew that the Jade Pavilion had been hacked...

Keqing looked up at the dirt road that stretched into the distance and thought that this was indeed possible.

After all, the extended mud bars seem to have no other use except to serve as a road.

"Let's go, let's catch up!"

Now that she knew Lu Xiu's escape route, Keqing couldn't wait to catch up with him. She raised her hand and threw the hairpin she had just bought during the day to the top of the mud pillar. Then she reached out and grabbed Ganyu's arm, and teleported with her to the top.

Steadying herself on the dirt road, Keqing lowered her head and instructed the Thousand Rocks Army below, "I'll leave this place to you. We'll go ahead."

"Yes, Lady Keqing."

After giving the instructions, Keqing and Ganyu continued along the dirt road.

After walking on this dirt road for an unknown amount of time, Keqing looked speechlessly at the dirt road that was still extending into the distance, and couldn't help but complain.

"How capable is this guy? Is he planning to go all the way to Inazuma directly from the sky?"

Hearing Keqing's complaints, Ganyu was a little amused and helpless. When she was about to comfort her, Ganyu noticed a building in the distance. With her excellent eyesight, she seemed to see a black line connecting the familiar building. More importantly, that black line seemed to be... the dirt road under their feet?

"Well...Keqing, if I'm not mistaken, that's the Jade Pavilion in the distance?"

Ganyu reached out and pulled Keqing, who was still complaining. Keqing stopped complaining and looked in the direction of Ganyu's finger. After squinting for a while, she replied affirmatively.

"That's the Qun Yu Pavilion, what's wrong?"

Keqing's eyesight was not as good as Ganyu's, so she did not see the thin line connecting to the Qun Yu Pavilion.

Seeing that Keqing didn't realize the seriousness of the situation, Ganyu hesitated and said, "If I say that this road seems to lead all the way to the bottom of the Jade Pavilion..."

Keqing's expression suddenly froze, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times.

Does this road lead to the Qun Yu Pavilion?

In an instant, she had just brought Lu Xiu to Liyue Harbor, and Lu Xiu's look of taking whatever he saw appeared in her mind again.

If Lu Xiu ran into the Qun Yu Pavilion, given his behavior, there would probably be nothing left in the Pavilion.

If Ningguang knew the people she brought back to Liyue Harbor had taken away everything she considered her most precious...

Keqing couldn't help but shudder, then ran forward with a pale face: "No, we must stop him before Ningguang finds out!"

"Hey hey hey, Keqing, wait for me." Ganyu hurriedly followed.

At the end of the road, the road was built with mud, one grid at a time. From time to time, he looked up at the magnificent building above, his eyes full of curiosity and expectation.

"It's unbelievable that there aren't many treasure chests in a floating building! Can you at least give me some enchanted diamond equipment? Or at least some ores?"

Lu Xiu originally wanted to climb all the way to the building, but when he looked up, the huge mineral at the bottom of the Qun Yu Pavilion immediately attracted his attention.

"What a huge mine, what is this?"

Huge, shiny, never-before-seen minerals are a fatal attraction for every MC miner.

Without thinking, Lu Xiu changed direction and came to the huge underground ore. He took out his pickaxe and tried to dig it a few times. He found that the digging speed was quite good, which made Lu Xiu feel relieved.

After five or six seconds, Lu Xiu finally dug out a piece. He couldn't wait to open his backpack to check the information about the ore.

【Mingxia Floating Stone】

Unfortunately, only the name of the mineral is displayed in the backpack, and Lu Xiu does not have the recipe in MC to directly check what can be made with this mineral.

Lu Xiu could only use the dumbest but most effective method, which was to chisel off another piece of Mingxia Fusheng Stone. Then he threw down a workbench on the spot, placed the two Mingxia Fusheng Stones in it, and arranged them according to the sword-making method. Sure enough, the item appeared.
