Chapter 164: Water flow in the shadows
I killed someone.
Bai Qiyun looked down at his blood-stained hands.
The originally crystal clear water armor was gradually stained with blood as it was soaked by blood.
Unlike hunting monsters, this was his first time killing someone.
Even if the other party is a treasure-stealing group with a long history of crimes, even if the other party has already committed acts of infringement against others.
But when the light from the sky fell and blasted those scum into pieces, he still felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart.
It was a completely different feeling than hunting monsters.
Bai Qiyun stared blankly at his hands, his eyes blank, not knowing what he was thinking.
"careful!"
A young man's voice cut through the night sky, and then a water sword came through the air and hit the woman who was sneaking behind Bai Qiyun and trying to attack him.
The water sword filled with elemental power actually pinned the woman to the ground, unable to move.
The sudden sound brought Bai Qiyun back to reality.
Not far away, a blue-haired boy wearing a short shirt caught his eye.
"Xingqiu?"
The person who came was none other than the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, a young man who grew up with Bai Qiyun in Liyue Port, Xingqiu.
But before Bai Qiyun left, he remembered that Xingqiu seemed to have gone to a place called Guhua Sect to learn martial arts, so why did he appear here.
"Hey, Brother Yun."
After taking two steps forward, Xingqiu discovered that the man wrapped in armor turned out to be his old friend.
"What are you..."
He looked around. He had made a hasty move just now and wasn't quite sure what happened, but the blood all over the ground didn't look like a good thing.
"Nothing, I just met a few treasure thieves and killed them."
While chatting with the young man in front of him, Bai Qiyun felt the power of his blow just now. Because there was no blessing from the power of earth veins, the blow just now was only his own power.
Is it almost below the captain level? Compared with Diluc's Soaring Firebird, there is still a big gap.
"Kill...kill?"
Hearing Bai Qiyun's words, Xingqiu didn't react for a while.
You must know that even though he often walks around with a sword and claims to have experienced chivalry, he only teaches a lesson to the gangsters who block the road, and rarely kills people.
He still clearly remembers the first time he killed a murderer who was wanted by the government. He couldn't relax that whole day. Whenever he closed his eyes, he could only see the resentful face of that person before he died.
Xingqiu never expected that the friend in front of him who came from a family of chefs could actually say such a thing with an expressionless face.
"Well, those guys said they would take all the people here for human experiments, and they molested civilian girls, so they killed them."
For Bai Qiyun now, killing someone may not be as difficult as killing a chicken.
At the very least, you have to go through a process when killing a chicken. Pay attention to bleeding and hair removal. If you want to kill a chicken, you only need to lightly sweep it with elemental force, which is convenient and quick.
After chatting with Xingqiu in front of him for a few words, he turned around, took out the goods that had been dropped in the water, and handed them to the leading businessman.
People's lives are safe and the goods are saved. It can be considered a happy ending.
only...
"This carriage is broken down. How should I get back?"
Looking at the broken wooden wheels on the ground, Bai Qiyun's eyes widened.
But now was not the time to think about this. After helping Xingqiu pull the unconscious bodyguard and the businessman father and daughter to a safe area, the two gathered around the woman who had launched a sneak attack before.
But when they passed by, they found that the woman had long since died.
"He probably committed suicide by taking poison."
After playing with it twice, the woman still had no reaction. Xingqiu stepped forward and smelled it. A smell of almonds came out of the woman's mouth. He recognized it as the smell of a strong poison.
It's just that he didn't expect this woman to be so decisive. She took poison and committed suicide the moment she was exposed. Where did this death warrior come from?
"Have you taken poison?"
Seeing this, Bai Qiyun finally solved his previous doubts.
Why those bodyguards had no power to fight back was probably because of the insiders mixing in the convoy and cooperating with outsiders.
Judging from the fact that the group of people haven't woken up yet, they must have been given something like a sweat medicine.
Could it be that this woman is part of the treasure thief group?
While Bai Qiyun was still speculating on the dead woman's identity, Xingqiu had already touched her body.
Those white, jade-like palms were constantly groping under the woman's clothes.
"Hello."
Seeing that unscrupulous movement, Bai Qiyun's eyes jumped. Is this guy so unconventional?
However, Bai Qiyun did not interrupt Xingqiu's movements. Instead, because of the darkness of the night, his movements became more agile.
"Um?"
A hard sign fell into his hands. Using the firelight on the side, Xingqiu struggled to identify the pattern on the sign.
"This is... fooling people?"
Bai Qiyun leaned over and immediately recognized that the pattern engraved on it was exactly the same as the pattern on the clothing of the fools he met in Mondstadt.
But why would stupid people help the treasure stealing group?
This puzzled him.
"It turns out he is a man who fools many people."
Holding the sign in his hand, Xingqiu suddenly understood.
No wonder this woman was so decisive, she turned out to be someone from that place.
Putting away the recruit's emblem in his hand and temporarily suppressing the doubts in his heart, Xingqiu led everyone to set up a temporary stronghold.
The night was already dark, and someone was unconscious. Even if the place he came from was not far from here, he couldn't travel in the dark. He could only use the carriage on hand to survive the night and wait until tomorrow.
The next day, the bodyguards finally woke up as the effects of the medicine weakened, and the businessman father and daughter also came over and thanked their lifesavers yesterday.
However, Bai Qiyun, who was a bit thin-skinned, could not bear this and quickly said a few words to send them away.
Although the caravan has restored its previous personnel security, it is unable to continue on its journey due to damage to its transportation vehicles.
"How about you go to Qingce Village with me first? There is my carriage there, and we can take you back together then."
Xingqiu, who was passionate about chivalry and righteousness, took on this task and led everyone to walk slowly on the road to Qingce Village.
"Speaking of which, why are you here?"
Things happened in a hurry last night, and Bai Qiyun didn't ask Xingqiu until daytime today.
"Me? I came here to find something for Chongyun."
Actually, the purpose of practicing Qiu is to find a way to cure Chongyun's pure Yang body. However, I heard that the ancient books recording the relevant knowledge were taken away. I was just bored and went out to relax last night, and I happened to bump into this group of businessmen.
.
He didn't expect that Bai Qiyun, who had always stayed in Liyue Port, would go so far away, and the elemental fluctuation seemed to be a pure water elf.
Xingqiu glanced at Bai Qiyun's side, Yan Duola's figure was floating outside so brightly, but due to the large number of people, he couldn't ask in public. He would wait until he had a chance to talk.
On the road covered with water plants, the group of people gradually drifted away.

"Master 'Master', the plan to collect all forbidden records has failed."
In a somewhat dark space, several debt collectors were surrounding a brown-haired young man, respectfully.
"Oh, is it so?"
A slightly joking voice resounded in the cave, and the brown-haired man turned around and looked at Liyue Port not far away.
"It doesn't matter, let's carry out the next step of the plan. The whereabouts of that kind of thing are not limited to that one place."
Under that calm port, there are turbulent waves that no one has noticed. If you like Genshin Impact, Spear Still, please collect it: (https://www.bajiewx.com) Genshin Impact, Spear Still, search and read novel website has the fastest update speed on the entire Internet
