Ying wandered around Liyue Harbor for a long time and helped a lot of people along the way.

After all, the Mingxiao Lantern was made with the help of all the people in Liyue. Even the stalls along the way in Xiao City were set up once a year by various businesses in Liyue. They were not opened for making money, but only to raise materials for the construction of the Mingxiao Lantern.

Ying, who usually likes to do good things, naturally would not miss this good opportunity. (Client: Strange traveler, why would you want these shiny stones that are useless except for their beauty as a reward)

At this time, Ying came to the construction site of the port because she had to find materials to help Wangya, the coordinator of the Lantern Festival, to make lanterns for the little girl Changchang.

Paimon: "Huh? There's a guy over there, sneaking around..."

A strange man was standing in a half-squatting position behind a box filled with various materials.

When Ying approached, the man who was sneaking around wearing a turban and mask and not showing his true face quickly stood up and glared at her and asked, "What are you doing?"

Seeing Ying continue to approach, the sneaky man said: "What's so good about it? Go away, go away!"

Ying stared at him completely unmoved.

"..." The man was the first to give in and turned to leave: "Forget it, if you don't leave, I'll leave..."

Paimon said very suspiciously: "Hmm... this sneaky person... speaks sneakily too..."

Luo's voice suddenly came from a distance: "Ying, catch him!"

"Hey? Luo?"

While Paimon was still surprised by Luo's appearance, Ying had already rushed forward and held the man down.

The subdued man said: "What are you doing?!"

Paimon asked Luo who was approaching: "Yes, yes, did this person do anything bad?"

Luo said seriously, "I got the news that someone wants to set fire to Liyue Harbor during the Lantern Festival."

"What?!" Paimon covered his mouth in shock: "This person is too bad!"

Ying also looked at the suspected arsonist with murderous intent.

"I didn't!!!" The arsonist quickly denied: "I didn't!! I didn't intend to set fire!"

"Then what are you doing here sneaking around?!" Paimon also asked.

"I just wanted to steal the biggest floating stone! I wouldn't dare to do something like arson!"

"Oh~ So this letter is addressed to you, right?"

Luo took out a letter, and Paimon read the contents of the letter:

"Dear fellow treasure hunters:

I have big plans that are feasible and profitable.

It only happens once in a lifetime, if you miss it, wait until next year.

My heart is beating or not. My heart is beating or not.

Meet me in the middle of the night.

I will wear a mask in case you can't recognize me completely.

I suggest you wear it too. Only those who wear it will know.

There’s no mistaking you, and it looks cool.

What I hate most in my life is snitching on top students.

So believe me, it’s definitely not a scam.

You all know, disguise.

Both parties are cool and make a fortune together.

See you at the agreed place."

【Full marks for copywriting】

What kind of doggerel poet?

"I didn't expect that you, a thief, are quite talented." Paimon said with a click of his tongue.

The thief quickly admitted: "Yes, yes, I wrote this, but I really didn't mean to set fire."

Luo: "I will trust you for now, but you should go and tell Qianyan Army about the details."

After sending the thief who wanted to steal the Floating Life Stone to the prison of the Qianyan Army, Ying and Luo walked on the street, and Paimon:

"Let's go, let's go back and get the materials for compiling the Sky Stone. We forgot to get them just now. By the way, let's wait for the person who planned to set the fire."

Luo was a little confused: "Huh? What arsonist?"

"Huh?" Paimeng was at a loss now: "Didn't you just say that someone was planning to set fire to Liyue?"

"No, I lied to him."

Paimon, who was also deceived, said: "Huh?"

Luo explained: "If you ask him directly if he intends to steal something, his first reaction will definitely be to deny it, which will cause a lot of trouble."

"And I said he was very likely to have committed arson, so in order to quickly clear his name, he quickly admitted that he was planning to steal."

"After all, compared to the charge of arson, attempted theft is more acceptable."

Paimon looked like he had learned something: "Okay, that makes sense..."

[Lu Xun once said that the Chinese people are of a compromising nature. For example, if you say that the room is too dark and you need to open a window, they will definitely not allow it. But if you advocate removing the roof, they will compromise and be willing to open the window.]

【Lu Xun: Yes, I did say this】

"Huh? So you didn't use the prophecy to know that guy is actually a bad guy?"

Luo shrugged. "It's useless. This kind of thing is not worth my prediction. That guy is obviously not a decent person. Which normal person would wear a mask and headscarf to cover his face and sneak to a construction site during a major holiday?"

Paimon smiled awkwardly: "It seems so..."

"Where did the letter come from?" Ying found something wrong.

Luo: "Oh, this is from his memory. I made it up casually. The real one is in the treasure-stealing group."

"Huh?" Paimon was slightly surprised, then his eyes lit up and he said, "Then let's go to the place where the treasure-stealing group is hiding at the time agreed in the letter! Maybe we can catch a few more bad guys!"

[Paimon is so nice. He is still thinking about improving the performance of the Qianyan Army during the New Year.]

[Treasure Hunting Group: Are you okay? ]

Luo shook his head: "No, there must be no one."

Paimon tilted his head and asked, "Why? Didn't they make an appointment?"

"Although the Treasure Stealing Group is a large organization, they will not get involved in this kind of thing."

Luo gave Ying and Paimeng some information about the Treasure Stealers: "The Treasure Stealers are a criminal organization that spans many countries, but they were able to build such a huge business because they always follow a most fundamental principle."

"It is a lie to seek wealth and honor through risk. Steady and steady progress is the right way to go."

"Especially since they know that Liyue Harbor is guarded by immortals."

"Normally it's fine. If you do something sneaky in Liyue Harbor and get caught by the Thousand Rocks Army, you'll just end up in jail."

"But now is the Lantern Festival. Who knows if the immortals will transform into humans to inspect Liyue Harbor? If we are caught by the immortals..."

"Just think about the amber in Hulao Mountain and you will know what to choose."

[I thought it was something like "There's a Code for Thieves", but it turns out to be just cowardly and timid, hahaha]

[It should be said from the heart]

[Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun: Hmm? What's going on? There's a thief. Okay, seal him in amber for a thousand years.]

[Oh my god, it’s really scary to think about this]

"Uh..." Paimon blinked: "Luo, aren't you also an immortal?"

"Alas~ My title was given to me by the Liyue people by mistake. I was just close to them before. I am not a true immortal."

"However, if they do something bad and meet me alone, their fate might be even worse~"

「Hiss——That is to say, if we were not here, this thief would have died a miserable death.」

[Oh, Luo, don’t worry about us. (Actually, I want to see how to teach the thief a lesson.)

[Just like the lady, she can be sacrificed alive. Amen/Hands folded]
