Chapter 541: Students who are repeating a grade
"I didn't expect them to go together, okay?"
Junbai said as he rolled his eyes at Ying and Paimeng.
[Not to mention Brother Bai, even we didn’t expect this. ]
[This is a truly unexpected person. ]
[Drifter and Lady, this is a combination that I really can’t think of any point that can connect these two people. 】
[Actually, there is a little bit of truth in this. This group of people are all in jail.]
"So the Drifter is with the lady...supervising her?"
Paimon looked at Drifter and asked.
The wanderer shook his head and said, "No, it's just that it's the Lantern Festival and we two prisoners are on holiday together."
"We didn't know where to go during the holidays, so we decided to go out and look around together."
As he spoke, the wanderer pointed at the lady beside him and said:
"And I also want to learn from her about the Fatui's next plan and get some information."
"Is it really okay to just say it bluntly like this?"
Paimon complained.
"Of course there won't be a problem. This isn't a very important matter. And since you're here, I don't need to tell you twice."
The lady crossed her arms and said calmly.
"You mean you want to send me information?"
Ying heard this and asked in confusion: "Why? I don't think you have any reason to do this."
"Because it is not very important information. Or rather, you will know this information after you go to Xumi."
The lady explained: "If you must give a reason, then my answer is that I want to repay Him a favor."
The lady's eyes looked in one direction.
Following her gaze, everyone's eyes focused on Xiao Junbai.
"..."
Xiaojun Bai waved his hand and said, "It's not a favor... Don't say that this matter has anything to do with me. It was Wendy's request."
"I know, but I still want to thank you."
"As for the wind god Barbatos..."
The lady smiled bitterly and said, "I can't respect Him as much as before, even though I know it's my fault."
"If I have the chance in the future, I would like to apologize to Him."
[Is this a lady? Is this something a lady would say?]
[Is this the rhythm of whitewashing? 】
[Rather than whitewashing, it's better to say that she changed her stance. The lady herself is not the kind of vicious villain. 】
[She was a hero who protected Mondstadt, but was expelled from the country because of fear. She can only be described as a tragic figure. 】
Then, under the puzzled gazes of everyone except Xiao Junbai, the lady began to tell everyone what she knew:
"The next target of the Fatui is Mount Sumeru."
"The executive officer sent out is a slice of me and the doctor."
The wanderer beside him straightened his back silently.
"You? But..."
Paimon hesitated to speak.
The lady anticipated her problem and said, "I still have half a year left in my sentence. If I calculate the time, I can just catch up with the start of the program."
Ying nodded: "Is that so? I understand."
[Wherever the travelers go, the fools will rush. 】
[As soon as they heard the news about the doctor, some people stood at attention. Is this true love? I won’t tell you who it is, you guess. ]
"It's you and the Doctor? What a coincidence."
The wanderer said intentionally or unintentionally.
"Don't come on, you just want to know the doctor's information, so you ask me about the Fatui's next move?"
The lady looked at this pretentious old antique, shook her head and laughed.
Seeing that his true purpose had been exposed, the wanderer politely bowed to the lady and said, "Thank you very much for the information."
"Don't rush to thank me. I currently only know that the one who carried out the Xumi Project was a slice of me and the Doctor."
“No one has told me the specific plan because I haven’t been released from prison yet,” the woman said.
Rurouni smiled "kindly" and said: "It's okay, as long as you know that guy is in Xumi~"
"Rurouni, your smile scares me a little..."
【This smile is proof of health.jpg】
[As it relates to the doctor, Drifter's mental state has always been not very good, which makes me a little curious about the story between them. 】
Xiao Junbai crossed his arms and said:
"Since you know that the doctor will appear in Xumi, and Ying's next stop is also Xumi, why don't you give her a ride, Rurouni?"
"You are more familiar with Xumi than I am."
"Hey~ Jun Bai, what do you mean? Rurouni, have you ever been to Xumi before?" Paimon looked at Rurouni and asked.
"Uh~ I've been there, but..."
The wanderer was about to speak but stopped himself.
"But?" Ying felt that there was a story between Rurouni and Xumi.
Then Xiaojun Bai smiled and said, "But this guy has been staying in the Teaching Court and has never been out. He knows only a little about the situation in Xumi."
Drifter scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Is that all?" Ying felt that things were not as simple as Xiaojunbai said, and continued to ask.
The wanderer sighed and said, "To be exact, not only has he been staying in the Order House, but he has been there for a hundred years."
"Eh? A hundred years? Xumi's studies are so busy?"
Ying was shocked.
"It's a long story." Rurouni scratched his head and said, "It all started when I went to hunt down the doctor and was stopped by him using a trap."
"Because I don't want this to happen again, I decided to go to the Sahavala Academy in Xumi to study mechanical construction."
"This way, we won't have to worry about being stopped by the doctor using a mechanism in the future."
"Then... my mentor was my aunt..."
"Wait." Paimon suddenly interrupted, "Your aunt? Let me sort it out. Your biological mother is Ying, so your aunt is..."
"It's true." Ying affirmed.
[Yes, it’s my wife! ]
[Wow, it turns out that Shin was a teacher at Sumire before he returned to Inazuma. Teacher Shin, I’m looking forward to it~]
[I think we can learn from Mei who collapsed later. ]
[Looking forward to the fanart drawn by the wives~]
"So you're also good at mechanical engineering?" Paimon asked.
Xiaojun Bai shook his head and said:
"I'm definitely not as good as Xianyun and Guizhong."
"But as a demon god who is good at intelligence but not at martial arts, at least he is very good at mechanical theory."
To put it simply, they only know theory but are not good at practical operations.
"Oh, now I understand." Paimon nodded.
"So, you have been conducting research in the Xumi Institute of Teachings for a hundred years under the guidance of Zhen Zhen?" Ying asked in surprise.
"Yes, under the guidance of my aunt, I have been studying ancient mechanisms for at least a hundred years."
"From then on, no matter what kind of mechanism the doctor came up with, I could crack it easily." Rurouni looked desperate and spoke helplessly.
“Will this take too long?”
Paimon asked, "According to seniority, isn't she really your aunt? Then you still need to study for a hundred years?"
Rurouni crossed his arms and said with a desperate smile: "Yes, normally it doesn't take a hundred years."
"It takes an ordinary person ten years to learn the knowledge, a genius needs three years, but as a puppet made by a god, it only takes me one year."
"And my aunt...she taught me all the knowledge about the institutions of the Ordinance, no matter whether they were popular or unpopular."
“They even asked me to draw inferences from one example.”
"That's why I spent a hundred years studying in the Order House..."
