Angel's Gift, second floor.

Under the not-so-bright light, Ning Lu, who never liked the second floor very much, was drinking one cup after another.

But unlike in the past, no matter how much he drank, the drunkenness never appeared on his face, replaced by a serious look on his face.

All this is because his drinking partner today is none other than the famous cavalry captain of the Knights - Kaia.

Kaia wears an eye patch on one eye, but she can still move freely under the slightly dim light, and there is no sense of sluggishness at all.

He fiddled with the wine glass in his hand, and the bright red liquid flowed in the glass, looking like a flowing gemstone under the light.

But he had no intention of taking it into his mouth.

If Diluc were here right now, he probably wouldn't be able to say 'spoil things'.

"So, what's going on with the treasure thieves?"

Kaia, with a smile on her face, finally spoke her first words after today's meeting.

Ning Lu gathered his thoughts and reported to him the news about the treasure stealing group in the past two days.

Although Ning Lu was just a drunkard in the past, idle and idle, he relied on his wife Youlu for all his daily life.

But how could the actual situation be like this? In the huge city of Mondstadt, the expenses are very high.

Ning Lu has been Kaia's subordinate from the beginning, responsible for ambushing the treasure stealing group to obtain information.

He is also one of Kaia's important sources of intelligence.

So on weekdays, he would act like a drunkard to avoid suspicion from others.

Of course, he himself is not tired of this feeling.

After all, how many people in Mondstadt would refuse good wine?

"The conflict within the treasure thief group has been very fierce recently, and they don't have an accurate movement, but there are indeed a lot of treasure thief group activities near Mondstadt."

"Oh? Internal conflict? What exactly is it?"

"It seems that there are external forces disrupting the situation. They have controlled the voice of some people in the treasure thief group and used it to carry out operations around Mondstadt."

Hearing this, Kaia narrowed her eyes subconsciously.

External forces...that's an interesting name.

"Can't you determine the origin of the other party?"

"No, those people are so elusive that they have never appeared in front of anyone."

Kaia tapped the table and tapped her forehead.

There are too many external forces that can fit these four words.

The first is the Fools. Since the lady left, the Fools' actions in the city have also gone dormant.

It is very possible if we start making small moves now.

But before the fools, Kaia thought of another name first.

‘Spirit Demon Society’.

Judging from the news sent by Bai Qiyun, the shadow of the Spin Demon Society was behind this incident.

Furthermore, after the drastic transformation of Snow Mountain a few days ago, there was also the involvement of the Spin Demon Society.

Their plans in Mondstadt were frustrated one after another, so it was reasonable to continue taking action.

He has no more information about this organization.

"As expected, I still have to go and see it."

Kaia stood up and left the tavern.

On the other side, Bai Qiyun followed Eva to the meeting place with Brenda.

He hid behind a tree and watched Eva guide Brenda step by step over the rules.

At first, Brenda was still human, talking to Eva with a warm face and no body movements.

But then as the exchange deepened and I don’t know what Eva said, Brenda’s expression became more and more excited, and her body movements gradually became dishonest.

Started to get closer to Eva intentionally or unintentionally.

But Eva was not one to let others take advantage of her easily. She moved her feet a few steps and widened the distance between them.

After that, there was an endless chat, which lasted for about half an hour, and Bai Qiyun fell asleep after watching it.

Suddenly, Brenda's expression suddenly changed, as if she was irritated, and she was about to knock Eva down.

"Eva!"

Brenda roared, and like a hunting leopard, she pounced directly on the woman in front of her.

Bai Qiyun moved his fingers lightly, and a stone flew out of his hand, like a speeding arrow, and suddenly shot towards Brenda.

The next second, Brenda was blown away by a small stone as if struck by lightning.

Eva was not surprised by the scene before her.

She clapped her hands at the bushes nearby.

As the voice fell, several figures emerged from the trees. They were servants of the Eva family and a patrolling West Wind Knight.

"Lord Knight, you saw it. This man just wanted to do something wrong to me. I'll leave the rest to you."

Although the Knights of the West Wind and the Lawrence family have no dealings with each other, official business is official business.

The Zephyr Knight quickly dragged Brenda out who was unconscious on the ground.

When everything came to an end, Bai Qiyun emerged from the hiding place.

"That guy actually dared to take action."

"Oh, I told you before, he is an idiot who relies on his lower body to think. He can't help it if he is slightly aroused."

"But it's still very dangerous. If I hadn't come, you would have been knocked down by Brenda even if the Knight of the West Wind was by your side."

Hearing this, Eva smiled slightly and suddenly opened the fan in her hand, revealing the steel knife in it.

Seven steel knives replaced the frame of the fan and were hidden inside, each handle lingering with weak elemental power.

Thinking about it, the lethality is quite impressive.

But in Bai Qiyun's opinion, it's just a child playing house, and he probably can't beat even the Qiuqiu people.

"Hey, is Mr. Bai caring about the little girl? The little girl is really flattered."

"Okay, stop being poor."

The sun was hanging high in the sky, and it was already noon.

It was less than two hours before the dance that Eva talked about.

The two of them had to dress up before the dance started.

Eva hummed a little tune and got into her bedroom in a happy mood.

To her, perhaps trapping Brenda was just a sideshow, and the highlight was the dance this afternoon.

Listening to Eva humming softly in the room, Bai Qiyun couldn't help but shake his head.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Unlike Eva who needs to be carefully dressed up, it is better to keep his clothes as they are.

Mainly because the only thing he can use is the clothes he is wearing now.

Of course, you still need to make some preparations.

He rummaged around in the storage space, found a half-mask he bought at Inazuma, and put it on his face.

Although the concealment effect is somewhat reluctant, it can be regarded as reducing the risk of being recognized.

He specifically asked the servants that the latest dance was a masquerade.

Bai Qiyun walked to the mirror and looked at his clothes. He found no problems and nodded with satisfaction.

The whole process didn't take three minutes.

After that, an hour passed.

The door to Eva's room finally opened, and what appeared in front of Bai Qiyun was a completely different dress than before.

Um...how should I put it?

Eva finally took off her Lolita style outfit and replaced it with a blue and white short skirt.

But she is a bit more childish than before, especially since she has a bow-like hair accessory tied on her head.

This does not look like a young lady, but a princess from a fairy tale.

But Bai Qiyun knew what kind of twisted character was hidden under this beautiful face.

After all, no princess would ever use words like 'bitch', 'slut' and 'idiot' on her lips in private all day long.
