In Genshin Impact: I accidentally ruined the Seven Gods

Chapter 216 The Sly One Leads an Honest Man to Scam a Fool

"Oh, shop owner, you're finally back."

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of Bai Mu, Lin Sheng jumped up from behind the counter with joy.

He had been searching for Bai Mu in vain for some time, so he decided to stake out Bai Mu's shop.

Just a couple of days ago, Xingqiu and Chongyun were also helping Baimu look after the shop, and Lin Sheng had met the two of them a few times before.

Over the past two days, the three of them have become acquainted.

At this moment, Xingqiu and Chongyun have disappeared without a trace, and only Lin Sheng is still helping Baimu look after the shop.

"Well, I'm back."

"You haven't answered my question yet."

"What are you doing minding the shop, kid?"

"Where are Xingqiu and Chongyun?"

Bai Mu scanned Lin Sheng up and down.

It's been a while since I last saw him, and this young man has changed quite a bit.

The biggest change is that he now has a Grass-type Eye of God hanging from his waist.

"Xingqiu said he had something to do, so he took Chongyun out."

“He’s been going out for long periods of time these past two days, I think he must have something urgent to do.”

Lin Sheng scratched the back of his head, revealing a somewhat simple-minded smile.

Looking at Lin Sheng's foolish appearance, and combining it with Xing Qiu's slippery personality, Bai Mu had already imagined a scene in his mind.

"The Sly One Leads an Honest Guy to Scam a Fool"

Xingqiu probably just wanted to leave because he was bored, and since Bai Mu hadn't been around for the past few days, he didn't want to stay here anymore.

Just then, a fool named Lin Sheng arrived.

Lin Sheng, that idiot, was definitely fooled by Xing Qiu.

"Okay, I know."

"Let's ignore them for now. What do you want from me lately?"

Bai Mu looked at Lin Sheng with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot, and asked him why he had come to see him recently.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot about the important thing."

Lin Sheng nodded suddenly, as if he had just realized something.

He took the Eye of God from his waist and slammed it heavily onto the counter.

"Shopkeeper, do you still accept Eyes of God?"

“I heard from Sakurai Nanako that I can accept the price of 300,000 Mora.”

Looking at the wall full of God's Eyes behind him, Lin Sheng felt that his God's Eye should also become one of them.

However, he does not regret it.

With the money, he could finally go to Inazuma, a place he had always wanted to visit.

While examining the Eye of God that Lin Sheng handed over, Bai Mu asked:

"Are you short of money lately? Doesn't your family give you any?"

"Uh... Shopkeeper, you don't know, but after I came back from Sumeru, I accidentally let slip my experiences in the desert."

"Because of this, my family is now against me going out and taking any more risks."

"You already have the Eye of God, don't your family trust you?"

Lin Sheng shook his head.

"My Eye of God appeared inexplicably after I learned that you, the shopkeeper, were collecting Eyes of God."

"I think it's more practical to use my divine eye to get some money back from you, the shop owner, instead of telling my family."

Upon hearing Lin Sheng's explanation, Bai Mu's mouth opened slightly.

For a moment, he really wanted to cut open Lin Sheng's head to see what was inside.

"If you want to go to Inazuma, I can take you there directly and I won't take your God's Eye."

"But I should warn you first that Inazuma has been implementing a closed-door policy. Once you go there, it will be very difficult for you to come back."

"Besides, it's not safe over there right now."

"Their Thunder General has begun a new round of Eye Hunts. You are all alone over there, making you an easy target for the Eye Hunts."

Bai Mu gave Lin Sheng a brief explanation of the situation on Inazuma's side.

He originally wanted to dissuade Lin Sheng from going to Inazuma.

But Bai Mu discovered that after listening to his story, Lin Sheng not only did not back down, but his eyes lit up instead.

"That's great!"

"Shopkeeper, I've made up my mind. I'm going to Inazuma. Even Prince Iwa can't stop me!"

Lin Sheng said excitedly.

When he heard that Inazuma had issued a decree to close the country, he had already made up his mind.

Because this way, even if his family wanted to bring him back after he arrived in Inazuma, they wouldn't know how.

"Well, since you've already decided to go, I won't try to persuade you anymore."

"If you encounter any danger over there, you can call my name."

“I am friends with the gods of their country. If you mention my name, it might be of some use.”

Before sending Lin Sheng to Inazuma, Bai Mu still had some concerns and gave him a few words of advice.

Once in Inazuma, as long as Lin Sheng is clever enough to mention his relationship with Shiraki even in front of the Tenryo Magistrate, he can still be safe in Inazuma.

But Bai Mu had a vague premonition that Lin Sheng was in grave danger this time.

...

After sending Lin Sheng to Inazuma, Shiroki's consciousness scanned the entire Liyue Harbor.

The next moment, Xingqiu and Chongyun appeared in front of him.

"Xingqiu, do you know your crime?"

Xingqiu, who had just been teleported here, hadn't yet realized what had happened.

When he heard Bai Mu's words, although his mind hadn't quite processed them, his body already knelt down with a thud, shouting:

"Your Majesty, Xingqiu knows his mistake, Xingqiu knows his mistake."

Xingqiu's series of actions left Chongyun, who was standing next to him, completely stunned.

Chongyun wondered if he should also kneel down like Xingqiu.

Otherwise, his presence here would seem somewhat out of place.

"Get up! You don't need to kneel."

Bai Mu, his face dark, dragged Xing Qiu up from the ground.

He never expected Xingqiu to be so slippery, and he immediately prostrated himself before him.

Bai Mu only intended to verbally reprimand Xing Qiu, since Xing Qiu had fooled even a fool, so it was only right to teach him a lesson.

But Xingqiu's sudden kneeling caught Bai Mu off guard.

"hey-hey..."

After getting up, Xingqiu chuckled a few times like an idiot.

He didn't feel ashamed at all about kneeling down.

After all, even his sworn brother, his grandfather, would often kneel before Shiraki, and he could only kneel up to the statue.

Moreover, when Xingqiu sometimes went to Qingce Village, his grandfather would take him to the temple in Baimu to pray.

For Xingqiu, that kneeling was simply a change from worshipping a stone statue to worshipping a real person.

Even his sworn brother couldn't have had such an experience.

"Be serious!"

"I'm asking you, why did you deceive Lin Sheng and leave him to run the shop alone?"

Bai Mu shouted, pulling Xing Qiu back to reality.

He looked at Bai Mu and said with a pitiful expression:

"Your Majesty, I didn't lie to Lin Sheng, I just..."

Bai Mu glared at Xing Qiu, who immediately changed his tune:

"I was just kidding him, who knew he would actually believe me."
