The waves crashed against the boats at the pier, making a roaring sound.

It's just that these voices seem a little insignificant among the noisy people.

"Traveller, look, does this lantern look like me?"

Since arriving at the Lantern Festival, Paimon has become more and more lively.

From being a little restrained at the beginning, to now becoming more and more unrestrained, Paimon seems to regard his daughter as his own wallet.

No matter what you fancy, as long as you need it, you must buy it.

She seemed to be just wondering why a Xiao Deng looked so similar to her, but in fact she was hinting to the other party that she wanted to buy the Xiao Deng.

"Well, it does look very similar."

But this time, Ying did not reprimand her, but looked around absentmindedly, as if she was wary of something.

If weapons weren't allowed at the Lantern Festival, she might have held her sword in her hand.

"What's wrong with you? Are you hungry?"

Paimon also noticed something strange about Ying. She obediently put down the lantern in her hand, floated to Ying's side, and asked thoughtfully.

"Nothing, I just saw an acquaintance."

Putting away a trace of vigilance in her eyes, Ying reached out and wiped the sauce from the corner of Paimon's mouth, and explained with a smile.

"Oh, this is Liyue. Don't we know many acquaintances here? Who did you see? Qiqi or Keqing?"

Paimon spread his hands, shook his head slightly and said.

Ying is a well-known figure in Liyue. Anyone you meet on the street can always say a few words to her.

Because she was absent-minded about this matter, it was very inconsistent with her identity.

But she didn't think too much, she directly took Ying's hand and flew forward: "Okay, don't think too much, the front is where the Mingxiao lantern is. It is said that this year's Mingxiao lantern is the legendary one."

Immortal, let’s go and see it together.”

"Um."

After responding to Paimon, Ying's eyes once again swept over several figures calmly.

After all, she was a famous traveler. When various forces began to enter the scene, she had already noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with the people around her.

Whether it was strangers who behaved suspiciously or businessmen who seemed enthusiastic but were not thinking about business at all, it was enough to show that there were some things happening under the colorful lights of the Hai Lantern Festival that she didn't know about.

If you continue to stay here, you may get into unnecessary trouble.

"Paimon, it's already very late, why don't we just go shopping here today."

After weighing things up in her mind, Ying finally decided to temporarily suspend her trip to the Hai Lantern Festival.

"Ah? But we haven't seen the Mingxiao Lantern yet."

Hearing that Ying wanted to go back, Paimon showed a reluctant expression on his face.

However, she did not directly oppose Ying's decision.

I followed Ying around for a whole day at the Hai Lantern Festival, and she was never stingy with anything I wanted.

Now she is too embarrassed to lose her temper.

"Then let's go back after watching Mingxiao Lantern."

Seeing the slightly reluctant expression on Paimon's face, Ying's originally slightly frowned brows gradually relaxed.

Anyway, we have come this far, so it’s not too late.

Besides, the Mingxiao Lantern Festival can be said to be the most important show of the entire Hai Lantern Festival. No matter how you look at it, nothing will happen there.

"Great!"

Excitedly doing somersaults in mid-air, Paimon couldn't wait to take Ying's hand and continue flying in the direction of Mingxiao Lantern.

"Speaking of which, where are we going to stay tonight?"

"Wanmin Hall, Xiangling specially arranged a room for us."

...

"Traveler?"

On a sailboat moored near the pier, Ye Lan stood in the observation deck, looking at the familiar figure and frowning slightly.

Logically speaking, Ye Lan should have a good impression of this hero who indirectly saved Liyue.

But the relationship between the hero of Liyue and Bai Luo... made Ye Lan dare not give her enough trust in this special situation.

In order to solve Liyue's predicament, she pretended to be Battousai and approached him. It was at that time that Bai Luo revealed a piece of news to her - the traveler should have some kind of relationship with him.

In subsequent tests, although the traveler made it clear that she had nothing to do with Bai Luo, Yelan didn't think she would tell him everything.

So... this mysterious traveler who is suspected to be acquainted with Bai Luo appeared at the Hai Lantern Festival at this special time, and even got close to Mingxiao Lantern. What does he want to do?

"Lord Yelan, the treasure thief group is already approaching the place where the Mingxiao Lantern materials are stored!"

While Ye Lan was observing the travelers, her subordinates who were monitoring the treasure thief group's movements on the other side reported to her.

"Let the people who are ambushing nearby be prepared. Once they take action on Mingxiao Deng's materials, they will be arrested directly and everyone will get the stolen goods."

Shifting her gaze to the dock where materials were piled next to her, Ye Lan ordered.

It seems that there are only a few Qianyan troops stationed at the dock, but in fact there are many of their people lurking.

As long as these treasure-stealing gang members enter, they will never be able to escape.

The most critical thing now is the travelers approaching Mingxiao Lantern and Bai Luo who is also wandering near Mingxiao Lantern.

After arranging the relevant matters for the treasure stealing group, Ye Lan jumped directly from the sailboat, jumped onto the pier, and went straight to the venue where the Mingxiao Lantern was stored.

Because there are various signs that Bai Luo and his men are ready to take action.

She had to catch Bai Luo herself before he took action.

"Traveller, do you think that man is a debt processor who fools people?"

Not only Ye Lan, but also Ying and Paimon who had arrived near the Mingxiao Lantern also noticed Bai Luo dressed as a debt processor.

"This man looks so sneaky and doesn't look like he wants to do anything good. What should we do?"

"You go and notify Qian Yanjun, and I will deal with him."

The edgeless sword appeared in response to the sound. After weighing it, Ying circulated the wind element and rushed as fast as possible towards the debt handler who reached for the Mingxiao Lantern.

She decided to take down the other person first and then decide what to do with him.

At the same time, Ye Lan also turned into a blue phantom, leaping high from the direction of the dock and rushing towards the debt handler.

The two people arrived almost at the same time and pushed the debt handler who was suspected to be Bai Luo to the ground.

"You lose, Bai Luo."

The water flow completely entangled it, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of Yelan's mouth.

After hearing Bai Luo's name from her mouth, both of them, including Ying, made a flurry of doubtful inquiries at the same time.

"Bai Luo?"

The mask fell off in response. Under the debt handler's mask, it wasn't Bai Luo's ungrateful smile, but a confused stranger.

Seeing this, the smile on Ye Lan's face suddenly froze.

The next moment.

"call out--"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

A sharp sound broke through the air in the distance, and a golden light illuminated the sky, making the night look like day.

And in the light, Bai Luo stepped on the divine dragon and soared into the sky, his unrestrained smile spreading throughout Liyue.

He stretched out his arms, as if he was hugging something, or as if he was remembering something.

When he stepped on the dragon and flew to the predetermined location, his voice resounded throughout Liyue Port.

“Happy Lantern Festival!!!!”

"boom--"

The giant dragon, together with Bai Luo, exploded in a burst of fire, and the gorgeous fireworks were like meteors flying backwards, occupying the entire night sky of Liyue.

Yelan stared blankly at the exploding dragon, her head buzzing.

Because she already recognized what the giant dragon was.
