This was naturally the special effect of the Core of the Earth's Fire.
After getting his hands on the equipnt, Bai Luo felt a bit restless, and the closest person to him happened to be Childe...
Core of the Earth's Fire dealt Pyro damage, not true damage like Fairy's Glitter. This elental damage could be resisted or even avoided, so even if it hit Childe, it wouldn't be a big deal.
He just didn't realize that Tartaglia was showing off on the mountaintop at the ti... In short, he tried it out a little.
With the last required material, Juvenile Jade, in hand, and Qiqi planning to return according to her directive, Bai Luo didn't linger in the mountains and returned to Liyue Harbor with her.
After all, his original intention was to find out the reason for his system's glitch from Qiqi.
When they returned, it was already noon, but the city was even livelier than usual. This was because Fairy's Glitter had been too dazzling earlier; even though the Qixing had issued a gag order, they couldn't silence everyone.
"Luo Bai, I'm going back."
"Okay, be careful on your way."
Qiqi needed to report back to Bubu Pharmacy, and Bai Luo didn't go with her.
Firstly, after the last incident, he had practically beco a public enemy there.
Additionally, since Childe had been ambushed by his Core of the Earth's Fire, he had been around Bubu Pharmacy, so Bai Luo naturally wouldn't go asking for trouble. So, after avoiding that area, he entered Liyue Harbor.
Inside Liyue Harbor, the dark clouds that had been dispersed by Fairy's Glitter gathered again, subtly hinting at rain.
Many people in the city took out their oil-paper umbrellas, creating their own little worlds. The rain scenery of Liyue was beautiful, and the river of oil-paper umbrellas ford on the streets was even more so.
The colorful umbrella surfaces were like blooming flowers, occupying Liyue's streets, enhanced by the moisture of the rain.
Upon returning, Bai Luo's first priority was to go to a restaurant. Because during his ti in the wilderness, Bai Luo had either eaten roasted poultry or vegetable soup, and his mouth had long been craving sothing better.
He had eaten Liyue cuisine, tasted Mondstadt cuisine, and even caused a commotion at Wanmin Restaurant; it was ti to try a new place to ss around.
He originally wanted to try the popular net-celebrity shop, "Chongyuan Dish," which everyone talked about, but the surging crowd brought him near the Heyu Tea House.
Bai Luo initially didn't intend to go in, because the storytellers in the tea house either told tales of Rex Lapis's anecdotes or ancient stories of the Adepti, which offered nothing new.
"Boss Yun has a new opera tonight, we must grab a good spot!"
"Indeed, I never thought Boss Yun's talent would be so high, they say she's almost comparable to her grandfather."
"What do you an by that? Is she even better than that Mr. Yun?"
"Heh, don't disbelieve it. In the past few performances, all the operas sung by Boss Yun were written by herself, and even so of the plays sung by veteran actors are said to be from Boss Yun's hand."
"Could it be that the 'Cloudsea Beast' opera is also..."
"Exactly, that's why I said she's almost comparable to that Mr. Yun. I reckon it won't be long before Boss Yun becos the star perforr of the Yun Han Opera Troupe."
Boss Yun?
Hearing this title, Bai Luo's footsteps, which had been about to leave, gradually halted. Could it be that the "Boss Yun" these people were talking about was the one he had in mind?
Bai Luo was no longer in a hurry to leave. He put on his mask, revealed the Fatui mark on his sleeve, and, holding his oil-paper umbrella, followed the crowd into the Heyu Tea House.
The tea house had a designated area for umbrellas. The tea house attendant noticed Bai Luo's extraordinary deanor and bowed, offering to take Bai Luo's umbrella to the designated spot, but Bai Luo refused.
The attendant was about to explain the tea house's rules, but to his surprise, Bai Luo swept his hands to his lower back, and the red oil-paper umbrella, emitting a plum blossom scent, directly disappeared.
"Immortal... Immortal?"
The attendant had never seen such a technique before and assud it was an Adeptus's ability. However, so well-traveled individuals nearby noticed sothing.
There was an ancient sect in Liyue that seed to have similar illusionary techniques. The attendant respectfully led Bai Luo inside the tea house, then retreated to a corner, questioning his life, leaving Bai Luo standing in the tea house, looking at a row of backs of heads, and sighing slightly.
It was fortunate that his Anemo Vision was fake; otherwise, if a true Anemo user were here, they might not even see the backs of heads, only a row of muscular backs.
The Yun Han Opera Troupe's operas were not only famous in Liyue, but also had a fan base in the other six nations, including Fontaine, Suru, Inazuma, and Mondstadt.
Unfortunately, Inazuma was currently in a state of isolation, so those few famous opera fans couldn't often co to Liyue to listen to operas, which was a regret for many opera enthusiasts.
They were very happy to see those foreigners' unaccustod reactions, and so people would even specifically translate these foreigners' comnts. These people were always called "Roast at-kun."
Bai Luo casually glanced around the crowd and even saw a few rchants and Fatui mbers from Snezhnaya in the front row.
That Fatui mber was surrounded by the rchants like a star, with several beautiful won massaging his back and pounding his legs; he was living a very pleasant life. Seeing this, Bai Luo began to squeeze his way towards that Fatui mber.
At first, so people had an opinion about Bai Luo, but upon seeing his mask and the Fatui insignia, their expressions instantly changed drastically.
They dared not say anything more and subconsciously made way. Just like that, Bai Luo, at a speed faster than he expected, reached the Fatui mber and flicked his bald head.
"Who the hell is that?!"
The Fatui mber slapped the table, scattering fruits and snacks everywhere. He stood up, glared at the back, and was about to hit soone, but then he cooled down.
A Fatui Harbinger couldn't possibly know all subordinates, but Fatui subordinates definitely recognized the Harbingers, because those twelve individuals were the symbol of the entire Fatui's strength.
This black-robed, white-masked attire clearly belonged to the [Instructor], whom Master Childe was relentlessly pursuing but couldn't obtain.
"It's you, sir, no... it's , sir, no, it's you, Instructor."
This Fatui mber, being held in such high regard by the Snezhnayan rchants, probably held a considerable position in the Northland Bank.
But no matter how high his position, it couldn't be higher than a Harbinger. Unless he was the Tsaritsa's little lover.
If he truly was the Tsaritsa's little lover, Bai Luo would have to consider whether to defect back to Liyue, because the Tsaritsa's taste would be truly too unique.
"Move aside."
"Alright! Instructor, please sit."
The bald Fatui imdiately moved aside, allowing Bai Luo to sit down. The spilled fruits and snacks were also replaced with new ones by the Heyu Tea House staff.
"What are you standing around for? Serve Instructor properly!"
Looking at the bewildered Snezhnayan rchants and maids beside him, the Fatui mber grew a little anxious.
Weren't these rchants usually quite clever? Why were they wilting at such a crucial mont? Couldn't they see how big the status of this person was?
Those rchants also reacted quickly. After the bald Fatui's hint, they all began to flatter him, and even the maids put their hearts into massaging his shoulders and legs.
It wasn't purely because of Bai Luo's high status; it was also because Bai Luo's slightly handso appearance, after he took off his mask, attracted them. In certain places, young masters with such looks would have people willing to serve them even if they had to pay them, let alone soone young, rich, and powerful?
It was in this atmosphere that the stars of the Yun Han Opera Troupe made their appearance.
