Chapter 22 Female Thief

Same as literature school.

In order to enter the classroom, Nashida secretly used her power to make the teachers and students in the school think that she was also one of the students.

She didn't come here hoping to learn any advanced knowledge. After all, what was taught in the literature school was very basic and could not be compared with the teachings of the Academy.

She was curious about the classroom atmosphere in this place. This was her first time seeing a teaching institution other than the Institute of Teaching.

Nashida sneaked into the law lecture hall in this way. Today's teacher was a girl with pink hair and green eyes who was asked to fill in the class. She had two horns similar to deer antlers that pointed downwards where her ears should be.

It seemed that this teacher was quite popular, so the atmosphere in the classroom was somewhat beyond Nashida's expectations. The students were very active in class and raised their hands enthusiastically to ask questions.

But why are most of the people who raise their hands to ask questions boys?

"I see. The laws of a single country are so complicated. It seems my knowledge is far from enough..."

Because of her power, Nashida became a invisible figure in the classroom, which allowed her to concentrate on recording the content of the class.

But Nashida didn't realize that she was not the only student who had sneaked into the classroom.

There was another student who seemed normal and never looked at Nashida, but the pen and paper in his hand recorded Nashida's behavior, including the fact that she entered the same literary school without attracting anyone's attention.

She also marked the words "suspected to be mind control ability" at the back, which is why her own eyes never fell directly on Nashida.

……

After saying goodbye to Grandma Ping and Yaoyao and returning to Liyue Harbor, Liu Bai had nothing to do, so he stopped by Heyu Teahouse.

However, Zhongli was not here, and there was no Yunjin performance today, so he could only sit down and listen to the storyteller's story of Beidou beheading Haishan.

After drinking two pots of tea, Liu Bai left Heyu Teahouse at noon and went directly to Wanmin Hall where he had been in the morning to find something to eat.

Knowing that both Xinyuexuan and Liuliting required reservations, he didn't even take them into consideration.

After having a simple lunch in Wanmin Hall, Liu Bai returned to work.

It was obvious that he could not communicate with the immortal in Jue Yunjian, and at present, the Northland Bank had not found any other way to see the Rock God. Liu Bai began to consider whether to implement some more extreme methods.

But before that, he had another method he planned to try.

The immortals couldn't come to an agreement, but there are still some important people in Liyue who may be able to see the God of Geo...

Thinking of this, Liu Bai looked up at the Qun Yu Pavilion floating in the air in the distance.

The Seven Stars of Liyue...should also have the power to meet the Geogod...

Liu Bai muttered to himself.

However, having experienced the failure of reaching an agreement with Jue Yunjian before, he felt that he would not get an answer if he went there rashly and might even be misunderstood.

So he planned to go back to the Northland Bank, and then formally meet and talk with the Liyue Seven Stars in his capacity as the "Fatui Executive", a diplomatic envoy of the Winter Solstice.

Just when Liu Bai arrived at the Northland Bank, near the Hall of Rebirth.

"Fortunately, there aren't many people in the Hall of Rebirth during the day..."

"According to the information from my informant, that guy left Liyue Harbor this morning and went somewhere unknown. He won't be back in the near future..."

The purple-haired girl with her face covered quietly approached here and nimbly came to the wall.

Although her face was covered with a purple veil, her cat-ear-like hairstyle and purple twin ponytails were too conspicuous...

Soon, she reached a window of the house that Liu Bai rented.

Although the window was locked, the girl raised her hand slightly, and the purple elemental force turned into electric current, penetrated into the window gap and hit the lock, thus opening the window.

After making sure that no one noticed her, the girl nimbly climbed through the window and landed lightly inside the house.

Although no one seemed to be in the house, she was still very cautious.

"There is no trace of the Fatui..."

After carefully observing the corridor inside the house, the girl began to look for the bedroom where Liu Bai lived.

"This house has four bedrooms, but only this one shows signs of being lived in... But they don't look like siblings, how could they live together..."

After finding the room where Liu Bai lived, the girl frowned in disgust.

But she didn't forget her goal. She came here mainly to confirm whether the other party had stolen her hairpin...

Although this hairpin is a little old and not in good condition, it is a very important item to her, even more important than the sword in her hand.

"Strange, there's not much stuff in there. The closet is full of books, and there aren't even many clothes..."

After searching for a while, the girl found nothing.

There was nothing special in the house except books, mattresses, and a slightly faded sea otter doll placed at the head of the bed.

"A place to hide things..."

The girl thought for a moment and looked at the sea otter doll on the bed.

Walking to the bed, the girl reached out and picked up the sea otter doll, rubbing it vigorously.

Although there was indeed a hard object inside the doll, it was obviously not her hairpin from the shape.

The girl had no choice but to throw the otter doll aside, then lifted the pillow on the bed and pressed it a few times, but still found nothing.

“…Then that’s all that’s left.”

The girl thought for a moment, then squatted down and looked sideways under the bed.

Although it was a little dark under the bed, the girl could see a mysterious wooden box.

Taking the wooden box out from under the bed, the girl tried to open it.

click -

After she touched the button on it, the lid of the wooden box popped up immediately.

The wooden box contained some irrelevant items. The girl rummaged through it and indeed saw a hairpin with a white flower pattern.

"really!"

The girl picked up the hairpin with gritted teeth. This was the hairpin she lost three months ago.

She never imagined that this executive came to Liyue three months ago just to steal her hairpin!

Besides my hairpin, there is also Ganyu's Qingxin...but I don't have this one. Is it placed somewhere else?

After cursing a few words in her heart, the girl put away her hairpin and continued searching in the house.

Although Qingxin is not very valuable, it is also evidence of the executive's theft!

"Little thief, what were you doing to my sea otter doll just now...?"

Just when the girl was about to continue searching, a voice suddenly sounded from behind her.

The girl was startled, and her first reaction was to grab the hairpin in her hand, which, with the power of lightning, turned into a sharp knife and stabbed behind her.

Clang——

The hairpin pierced a pure white lightsaber, but it strangely made a sound of metal clashing.

After failing to hit the target, the girl did not stay for long and turned around and ran out the window without hesitation.

“I picked this up!”

Seeing the girl trying to escape, Liu Bai, who was angry, immediately raised his right hand.

The next moment, all the clothes on the girl appeared in Liu Bai's hands, including her thunder-attributed divine eye.

"what?!"

When suddenly encountering such a situation, the girl's first reaction was not much different from that of an ordinary woman. She screamed and immediately squatted down with her hands protecting her chest, with her smooth white back facing the direction of Liu Bai.

Even though the window was right in front of us, letting her jump into the street naked like this...it would be better to kill her!

"W-what did you do! Give my clothes back to me!"

The clothes on her body were taken away, and the purple veil covering her face was naturally gone. The girl's identity became clear at a glance. She was Keqing, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue.

At this moment, Keqing's face was so red that it seemed like blood was about to drip out. She turned half of her head back in shame and anger to look at Liu Bai behind her, but her body could only turn her back to him. No matter what, Keqing did not dare to turn around.

At this moment, she couldn't understand why her clothes appeared out of thin air in Liu Bai's hands, and even her Eye of God was taken away.

"Humph, you are such a brave little thief to touch my sea otter doll."

Liu Bai threw her clothes and black stockings aside, then walked over and picked up the sea otter doll on the ground. She wiped the dust off it with her sleeve with some heartache, and then rubbed the place that was just pinched by Keqing.

Just now he was enjoying tea and snacks in the Northland Bank when the system suddenly popped up a prompt saying "Your sea otter doll is being attacked". Frightened, he quickly condensed the lightsaber and hit himself, which scared several Fatui nearby.
