"Peng!"

A crisp cracking sound sounded on the second floor of the villa, instantly startling the sleeping guard.

Paimon flew from the window to the garden outside the villa with a pile of documents in his arms with a panic expression on his face.

Just now, she accidentally knocked down a vase while flying, which alerted the surrounding guards.

People in weird clothes were running back and forth in the villa, trying to catch the thief who had sneaked in.

"hurry up."

Ying lay down in the grass, preparing to meet Paimon.

But the materials Paimon was holding were a bit heavy, and she couldn't fly fast even if she wanted to.

We flew for a long time and didn't even go out to the corridor.

The little guy's figure was inevitably spotted by the guards on the side.

"Come here! The thief is over here!"

Hearing the guards' shouts, Yingxin secretly thought something was wrong, and she was ready to take action directly.

But someone moved faster than her.

Under the moonlight, a water-colored figure emerged from the back of the villa.

Bai Qiyun, armed with a water-quality spear, roughly broke into the villa.

Rely on the tyrannical elemental power to crush everything, shoot away a guard with one shot, and feel like entering an uninhabited land.

"The cook!"

Seeing the young man's figure, Paimeng's face lit up with joy and he rushed directly into Bai Qiyun's arms.

"Walk!"

Bai Qiyun grabbed the little guy and rushed out of the villa.

He allowed the arrows shot by the guards to fall on him, but were deflected one by one by pure water weapons.

Bai Qiyun took Paimeng back to Ying's side, drove away in the carriage prepared in advance.

As for why it evolved into the current chaotic situation, it must start when Bai Qiyun and his party arrived in Mondstadt City.

————

"Well, although Mr. Bai's adventure group has just registered, since several of them are adventurers with good skills, I have a suitable commission here for you to take a look at."

In the city of Mondstadt, Bai Qiyun and his party stood in front of the Adventurers Association, preparing to find a suitable commission as a basis for their next actions in Mondstadt.

Perhaps because of the lack of people in Mondstadt recently, Catherine's eyes lit up when she saw them, and she was very enthusiastic.

Although Bai Qiyun just wanted to casually accept commissions such as escorting hot air balloons, Catherine suddenly enthusiastically recommended it and thrust a commission from the Knights into the hands of several people.

It’s hard to reject such hospitality, so we can only take a look first.

"Hmm... The Auxiliary Knights are investigating smuggling... Um, can this kind of thing be left to the Adventurers Association?"

Although the commission does not clearly state the content of the commission, shouldn't the investigation of this kind of criminal behavior be handled solely by the Knights?

Faced with Bai Qiyun's almost questioning gaze, even Miss Catherine, who had always been kind-hearted, couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Suddenly, Catherine, who was wearing a green maid uniform, lowered her head and started complaining like a social animal.

"Ahhh, I didn't want to, but Bennett and Fischer messed up the Wine Festival stage before, wasting a lot of manpower from the Knights to help. Now that the Knights are short of people, we can only ask our association to help.

Please help, some of you."

This is the first time even Bai Qiyun has seen Catherine like this.

But it has to be said that this kind of revealing behavior makes it really difficult for them to refuse.

And it's because of Bennett and Fisher.

Bennett didn't say it, but the two of them were friends who had known each other through life and death.

Even Fischer was the benefactor who saved his life, so he should take action both emotionally and rationally.

"Okay - okay -, we'll take it, but Miss Catherine, can you tell me how the two of them messed up the stage of the Wine Festival."

"It is said that when Bennett was executing the commission, a landslide suddenly occurred in the place he was passing by, smashing the stage to pieces."

It's really yours, Bennett.

————

What happened after that was very simple. It was Kaia who received a few people from the Knights of the West Wind.

More than half a year later, this guy still looks cynical.

From his hands, Bai Qiyun and others learned that what they needed to investigate was a businessman's mansion, and the other party was likely to have evidence of smuggling.

After a period of investigation, several people decided to send Paimon to sneak in and steal evidence.

Now it seems... the implementation was quite successful.

On the carriage, Bai Qiyun flipped through the evidence in his hands, his body jolting with the carriage.

Kujo Sora, who was in charge of driving in the front, was completing a commission from the Adventurers Association for the first time and was very curious about every move of the boy.

"You said they saw Paimon's appearance, will we be in trouble later?"

"No, they will all have to go to jail in the future. Even if someone slips through the net, they will not be able to retaliate. After all, the Knights of the West Wind are behind us."

Bai Qiyun directly rejected this question without thinking.

Even Paimon, who had always been worried, was lying peacefully in Ying's arms, enjoying the girl's touch.

She is the number one hero this time, and she will have a good meal when she goes back.

Just when Bai Qiyun thought that this incident would end here, a sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded from behind the carriage.

Bai Qiyun stretched out his head and saw the previous group of guards.

About a dozen people were riding behind the carriage on tall horses, and they were looking forward to catching up.

"Can't you hurry up? The group behind is almost catching up."

"No, the carriage is made of ordinary material and there is a risk of it falling apart if it accelerates any further."

Kujo Sora didn't want to incur a foreign debt before the commission was completed.

"Okay, it seems those guys are not giving up yet, you go first."

The young man chuckled, got out of the carriage alone, and faced the guards.

The extremely powerful water elemental power was like clear waves in the sea, subconsciously forcing everyone in front of them to stop in place.

"stop."

The leading man made a gesture and said calmly.

"Your Excellency is extremely powerful. We have no intention of offending you, but please return what you took away. Otherwise, brothers, you will not be a good person."

"Oh, it's just you?"

Bai Qiyun didn't even bother to pay attention to these people in front of him who didn't even have the eyes of God.

I also want him to throw out the entrusted target, which is a good idea.

Leave some room."

The leading man felt the strong elemental scent coming towards his face like a tide, and swallowed subconsciously.

He knew very well that this man was very strong, strong enough to kill them all here.

But the other party didn't do this, which means that he didn't want to make a big fuss, so there was room for maneuver in this matter.

"We are just a team hired by businessmen. As long as you can hand that thing back to us, we will provide you with a generous reward."

"You should know that I care about more than just money."

Although Bai Qiyun plans to support a group of people through the Adventurers Association's commission, this commission is a favor owed by the Adventurers Association and is not a matter of money.

"Don't worry, what you want is evidence of smuggling. We have plenty of it."

The man smiled slightly, waved his hand, and one of his subordinates brought over a pile of information that was thicker than Paimon's pile.

"These are the information about the businessman's contact with the outside world. We have intercepted a lot of them. They should be useful to you."

Bai Qiyun took it and looked at it suspiciously.

It was found that many of them overlapped with the information obtained by Paimon.

It seems to be true.

The young man pressed the information beside him with a strange look on his face.

"Aren't you mercenaries protecting the interests of your employer? How could you do such a thing?"

"You are joking. The employer only asked us to ensure his personal safety and the 'secret information' in that house. Other matters are not our responsibility."
