“A few days later, I heard that Teacher Bai Chuo was going to draw a portrait of the Five Song Immortals during the festival,”

“It’s rare to be able to come to Inazuma with Mr. Bailuo, but I didn’t even have a chance to meet. I felt lost for a long time.”

Xingqiu shook his head and said.

Paimon gave him a reassuring look, “Don’t worry, Xingqiu. Although Teacher Bailuo has a job, he doesn’t even have time to see his friends.”

“How about we take you to him right now?”

Paimon smiled and said: “We have already heard that Teacher Bai Chuo is the illustrator of your novel “The Record of Shen Qiu’s Picking Up Swords”!”

“So you all know it.” Xingqiu scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

“To be honest, the book I wrote is actually not popular in Liyue, but it is still a bestseller in Daozhu. I think most of the reason is due to Teacher Bai Chuo’s exquisite illustrations.”

Speaking of this, Xingqiu couldn’t help but praise: “Teacher Bai Ke is not only good at drawing, he is also very fast in drawing. I heard that he drew the illustrations for the latest chapter in just a few hours!”

“And to me, the illustration didn’t look rushed at all, it was just brilliant.”

Xingqiu nodded and said.

“Buying illustrations and getting toilet paper for free is a yes.”

“What are you talking about in front of me? Xingqiu is a top novelist!”

“Xingqiu’s novels seem to be evaluated in Liyue as ‘the content is wild and unconstrained’.”

“The main reason is that people in Liyue are more pragmatic, so not many people read novels. They think the content of these novels is too fluffy.”

At this point, everyone seemed to feel that they had been chatting at the pier for too long, so they walked towards the outlying island while talking, preparing to meet Abedo first.

When leaving the dock, Paimon was still a little scared.

This time, it would have been a bit troublesome if he hadn’t used Abedo to attract Xingqiu’s attention and managed to hide the matter.

Wugexian Square.

When the group of people came here, Albedo was quietly looking at the drawing board and thinking about something.

Noticing the travelers and the others coming over, Abedo said hello.

However, after seeing Xingqiu, he felt a little unfamiliar, so he couldn’t help but ask: “Who is this person next to you?”

Before Ying could introduce him, Xingqiu took the initiative and said with a smile: “Are you Teacher Bai Luo? It’s an honor to meet you.”

“I am the author of “The Record of Shen Qiu’s Picking Swords”…” Just as he was talking, Xingqiu suddenly stopped. He seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to use a pen name, so he changed his words: “You call me Xingqiu. That’s good.”

Xingqiu looked unusually nervous.

“Then you can just call me Abedo.” Abedo said directly: “We are all friends of travelers, so it would be more convenient to call me by my real name.”

“Xingqiu: Teacher Bai, I am your fan!”

“Opportunity to meet.”

“It seems that the people talking to each other are all boys, but in fact, the people talking to them are all girls, hahaha~”

Seeing Xingqiu’s somewhat reserved look, even Paimon was surprised, “We have never seen Xingqiu in such a panic before!”

“Really.” Xingqiu scratched his head, “You two, please don’t take the opportunity to tease me.”

In order to ease the embarrassment, Xingqiu changed the subject and said, “By the way, we just found the stories of the ‘Poetry Contest’ at the dock, and I heard that you are collecting them.”

“‘Poetry Contest’?”

After hearing this name, Abedo showed a puzzled expression.

“It’s just an activity to find the pieces of paper with the story of the Five Song Immortals!” Paimeng was afraid that Xingqiu would see something, so he hurriedly interjected: “Wendy found one before, and then you painted it as a model. In the painting.”

Abedo raised his brows. As smart as he was, he naturally guessed something and nodded: “Yes, that’s it.”

“The Corpse Hiding Contest.”

“You are really 6 upstairs. I really didn’t hold back on this corpse hiding contest.”

“Albedo is truly a detective. He guessed it in an instant.”

“Should I say that the cooperation is too tacit, or that Xingqiu doesn’t know anything?”

While the audience was discussing, Xingqiu took out the piece of paper and showed it to Abedo.

After reading the contents on the piece of paper, Abedo nodded and said: “I already understand the story. This is a big help. Thank you.”

“That’s good.” Xingqiu said with a smile, but he also had some doubts. “But this story seems to me to be a bit confusing. Can you tell me the detailed ins and outs?”

Speaking of the origin of this matter, it seems a little complicated.

So Abedo suggested: “If everyone is free, how about we find a place to eat and chat?”

“Let’s chat about Zhenjun while we eat.”

“Wu Youting is really going to make money this time.”

“Albedo: Let me think about how to fool him first.”

But what surprised Abedo was that Xingqiu seemed a little hesitant, “Ah, well…”

He touched his head and did not directly agree to Abedo’s invitation.

Paimon asked curiously: “Xingqiu, are you busy with something?”

“No, no, it’s nothing!” Xingqiu shook his head repeatedly and said, “Speaking of which, Shimuraya’s eel chazuke is pretty good. Do you want to go there?”

“Shimuraya?” Abedo touched his chin, looked at Xingqiu and thought: “The wind is a bit strong today, how about going to Wuyouting?”

“Wait a minute! Xingqiu has just arrived on the island, why do you know about Shimuraya’s food?”

“I must have heard it from others. As the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, he must be much better informed than ordinary people.”

“The way Abedo is frowning and thinking, he must be suspecting something, hahaha~”

Xingqiu nodded in agreement to Abedo’s suggestion, but before going to eat, he was going to put away his luggage first.

Not long after Xingqiu left, Abedo’s expression became serious and he whispered: “Well, there is indeed a flaw.”

Paimon was startled when he heard Albedo’s words, “Huh? No, it can’t be?”

“I think we cooperated very well just now. Did I still let it slip?”

Paimeng was very confused. She also felt that her acting skills were very good, and her cooperation with Albedo was very tacit, and Xingqiu didn’t see any surprises.

But judging from what Abedo said, could it be that Xingqiu discovered something?

“No, Paimon, I’m not talking about you.” Albedo shook his head, “Traveler, what do you think?”

Ying said without hesitation: “Xingqiu is indeed a bit suspicious.”

“Xingqiu is suspicious?” Paimeng shook his head, completely confused now, “Hey! What are you two talking about?”

“Paimon is the only fool.”

“White-haired idiot, hahaha~”

“Actually, I also feel a little suspicious.”
