Chapter 226 - Chapter 226: A Pyrrhic Victory (1v2)

Shenhe was still an honest child, especially when facing the master who had raised her since she was young; she told her everything.

She quickly told her master everything about meeting Ann, including Ann asking her to go to Liyue Harbor to find him.

"I see." Cloud Retainer nodded, feigning contemplation.

In reality, she, who had secretly followed behind Shenhe, already knew all these things. She had even heard the entire conversation between the two clearly.

Cloud Retainer was now considering the matter of going to Liyue Harbor.

Shenhe was picked up by her when she was six or seven years old. It couldn't be said that she completely didn't understand the human world, but Liyue was changing rapidly, and it was a fact that Shenhe had not been in contact with human society for a long time.

After all, she was still a human. It wasn't good for her to live in the deep mountains and old forests, completely disconnected from the outside human world.

Cloud Retainer certainly hoped that her disciples could stay by her side all year round, but that might not necessarily be a good thing for them.

It would be better to let them all visit Liyue and stay for a while.

In fact, thinking differently, she could also move to Liyue Harbor for a temporary stay. If her disciples couldn't accompany her, she could go accompany her disciples…

However, this recent period was a bit unsuitable.

"Liyue Harbor, as it stands, will soon experience a disturbance." Cloud Retainer looked up at Shenhe.

"That Damselette might also be deeply involved."

During Cloud Retainer's last casual chat with Granny Ping, she had also vaguely learned some inside information.

There would be a crisis in the future, and Rex Lapis would not intervene, nor could they intervene immediately.

Although she couldn't fully understand Rex Lapis's thoughts, since the old man had made a decision, these adepti, who had long ago signed a contract with Rex Lapis, naturally had to follow his opinion.

Therefore, the future crisis would temporarily depend on the strength of the people of Liyue themselves. They would first observe from the shadows and then appear at the appropriate time.

That Damselette was so special, and he was currently in Liyue and would not leave for a short time.

It was reasonable to assume that he would also be noticed by Liyue's high-ranking officials and likely participate in the future crisis.

"Master, I want to go to Liyue Harbor." Shenhe said immediately upon hearing this.

She didn't care about the deeper meaning of her master's words; she only heard one meaning from her master's words, and that was that Ann might be in danger.

"I had the idea of letting you reintegrate into human society before, but I always felt it wasn't the right time… Well, let's take this opportunity." Cloud Retainer hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

Shenhe was also human, so she could naturally contribute her share of strength to Liyue.

"However, there are a few things you need to pay attention to when you go to Liyue…" Cloud Retainer began her nagging, somewhat worried.

No matter what, Shenhe was severely disconnected from human society. If she wasn't properly instructed, she might cause a big mess.

Of course, she would also follow in secret, just in case.
