The Weapon Master Shall Never Die Bare-Handed in Genshin Impact [156]

“I understand the situation you’ve described.”

Moon Carver frowned, his majestic figure silhouetted against the dim light. “To shift blame onto innocent bystanders… the Liyue Qixing are truly disappointing!”

“Hmm?” Lumine raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, “Aren’t you at least a little suspicious of us? What if we’re lying, or what if we really are the assassins who killed the Geo Archon?”

“Hmph.”

Moon Carver let out a low snort, his tone unwavering. “If someone were to wield the Sigil of Permission just to tell lies, it would not be worthy of its name.”

He continued, “As for assassinating the Archon… Only those with intricate schemes and immeasurable strength could pose a threat to him. You two are far from such adversaries.”

“?” Lumine slowly formed a mental question mark, her expression caught between relief and insult. She felt glad he didn’t suspect her, but something about the way he dismissed her so easily stung.

“Furthermore,” Moon Carver added, “your auras do not align with this world. I have my suspicions, but they are merely judgments of my own. To avoid error, I must consult the other Adepti.”

He paused briefly before continuing, “With the Sigil of Permission, you may seek out other Adepti to convey your message.

“Seek out Mountain Shaper or Cloud Retainer—they often linger nearby. As for the Vigilant Yaksha, you may find him near Wangshu Inn if you are fortunate.”

After finishing his explanation, Moon Carver turned to leave, but Lumine quickly called out to him.

“Wait, Moon Carver! It’s already late. Do you have any place where we can stay for the night?”

“Oh, and one more thing! The Millelith are still chasing us. Can you help clear our names or something?”

“…”

Moon Carver stood silently for a moment before responding, “There are vacant huts on the mountain. You may rest there.

“As for the Millelith… resolve it yourselves. Cause no deaths and do not disturb the peace of Jueyun Karst.”

With those final words, Moon Carver vanished, leaving Jia Changjiang and his companions alone.

Lumine turned to Jia Changjiang with a look of confusion. “Jax, is it that obvious we’re from another world? It feels like everyone we meet instantly knows we’re not from Teyvat.”

“I have no idea…” Jia Changjiang muttered. “Is it that obvious? Do we have some kind of glowing ‘outlander’ sign floating over our heads?”

“Let’s not dwell on it. For now, let’s find a place to sleep,” Paimon suggested. “Tomorrow, we can visit the other Adepti and that Yaksha, right?”

“Sounds good!” Lumine agreed with a nod.

“Fine…” Jia Changjiang glanced in the direction Moon Carver had departed, his hands itching for a fight.

Before he could speak, Paimon scolded him, “Mr. Jax, stop thinking about fighting the Adepti! We’re here for their help!”

“When we visit the others tomorrow, you absolutely cannot challenge them to a fight right away, okay?!”

“Fine, fine. I won’t start anything,” Jia Changjiang replied, exasperated. “Happy now?”

“Good! That’s how it should be.” Paimon nodded in approval.

The group soon found one of the vacant huts Moon Carver had mentioned and set up camp. Lumine pulled a sleeping bag from her inventory and lay down, while Paimon burrowed into her blanket, falling asleep almost instantly.

Jia Changjiang, unable to sleep, sat by the fire to keep watch.

With nothing better to do, he opened his system interface to check his accumulated rewards.

“Hmm, I’ve got thirty-one spins saved up from the Steve pool, plus that one item draw from the Abyss Mage quest…”

He considered his options briefly before clapping his hands. “Might as well use them now. Let’s see what I can get.”

Jia Changjiang accessed the gacha menu and noticed the current banner title:

[Current Featured Pool—The Journey to the West Squad]

“??”

Jia Changjiang blinked at the strange title, his expression morphing into a question mark.

Journey to the West Squad?

He recalled his past draws—Jackie Chan, Steve. Those made sense in a way. But now?

Sun Wukong? Isn’t he a walking arsenal already?

Despite his confusion, curiosity got the better of him. Without hesitation, he poured all thirty spins into the banner.

Moments later, twenty-seven orbs of varying colors—white, green, and blue—materialized before him. Alongside them, three purple orbs shimmered brightly.

The system displayed the results:

[Monkey Fur x16, Simple Monk Meal x3, Tiger Pelt Skirt x1, Iron Rod x1, Small Rake x1, Hand-Copied Sutras x2, Begging Bowl x1, Iron Monk Staff x1, Monk Robe x1]

Jia Changjiang stared at the haul, his eye twitching.

Seriously?

The last time he pulled from Steve’s banner, he’d received a full set of useful tools. But this? It was nothing but fur, food, and monk accessories.

What am I supposed to do with this junk?

From sutras to robes, from staves to bowls… Was he here to fight or to start a pilgrimage?!

Finally, he turned his attention to the three purple-tier rewards.

[Life-Saving Monkey Fur x2, Weapon Trial Voucher (10 minutes) x1]

He nearly lost his composure. “Am I cursed to be stuck with monkey fur today?!”

The one redeeming prize was the trial voucher.

[Weapon Trial Voucher—Ruyi Jingu Bang (10 minutes)]

“Ten minutes… That’s way too short,” Jia Changjiang muttered, though his irritation lessened. At least it was something powerful.

Better save this for when it really matters, he decided, storing it away.

Finally, he moved on to the item draw he’d earned from defeating the Abyss Mage.

“Alright, give me something good this time!”

He pressed the button with anticipation.

[Item Draw Used: Obtained Talisman—Mountain Moving Spell.]

[Description: Yellow Turban Warriors! Move mountains to this place! Summon spirits… expel demons!]

Jia Changjiang’s eyes widened.

“…Now this might actually come in handy.”
