【Amber】：...
【Kaeya】：......
【Keqing】：......
【Ningguang】：......
【Paimon】：Pfft!
【Tartaglia】：？？？
【Tartaglia】：Hey, dude!
【Tartaglia】：That's not me on the screen!
【Tartaglia】：How could I ever look so pathetic!
【Hu Tao】：He's flustered.
【Xingqiu】：He's definitely flustered.
【Xiangling】：He's really flustered!
【Chongyun】：It looks like he's been hit hard.
【Tartaglia】：That's not me! I didn't do anything!
【Tartaglia】：I don't admit it! That's not me!
The Tartaglia on the screen was in a state of panic.
He looked at Su Mu as if he had seen a monster.
Lilith glanced at Tartaglia in confusion, then curiously at the gentle and refined Su Mu.
She didn't understand what was going on.
"That's how you treat an old friend?"
"Who... who's your old friend, don't make things up!"
"No? Wasn't it you who addressed me as such in Liyue?"
Su Mu stood with his hands behind his back, watching Tartaglia with a smile, walking towards him slowly and calmly.
His long boots made crisp sounds on the cobblestone road, but in Tartaglia's heart, each step was like a heavy hammer striking his heart.
Every step Su Mu took was like a countdown to his life. When Su Mu stopped, perhaps his life would disappear with it?
"Da—!"
"Da—!"
"Da—!"
Tartaglia felt dizzy.
He couldn't hear anything anymore, only the tinnitus in his ears.
"Pa—!"
A strong hand landed on his shoulder.
Tartaglia's trembling body calmed down at that moment.
"Old friend, don't be so nervous."
"You... what do you want?" Tartaglia asked nervously.
"Don't worry, I'm not here for you. I'm not interested in you or the Fatui."
"I have things to do today, so I won't reminisce with you." Su Mu slowly retracted his hand and waved to Lilith behind him.
"Mr. Su Mu..."
"Let's go. We'll continue our tour."
"Ok... good. I'll introduce you to this place!"
Su Mu and Lilith walked side by side, further and further away, gradually disappearing into the distance.
It wasn't until Su Mu's figure completely disappeared that Tartaglia, who had activated his Demon King Armament, slowly sat down on the ground.
A purplish-violet glow flickered around him, and moments later, Tartaglia returned to his previous appearance, but with a slight difference.
At this time, his body was soaked in cold sweat.
He was completely drenched, and his orange hair was completely soaked.
It was as if he had just walked through the gates of hell. If the King of Hell hadn't spared him, he would have been gone.
The thugs, who had been knocked down by the Demon King Armament, struggled to their feet. Seeing Tartaglia standing there in a daze, they fled in panic.
The Beaumont workshop immediately closed its doors.
They didn't know what had happened, but it was clear that the shop was not suitable for opening.
On the empty street, only Tartaglia sat on the ground, staring at the ground in a daze.
"If I could go back in time..."
"I would never say that word 'friend'..."
【Amber】：Hiss...
【Amber】：Is Mr. Su Mu really that scary?
【Amber】：Even a Fatui Executor would show an expression like that?
【Kaeya】：I'm really curious what they went through in Liyue. Why is "Childe" so afraid of Mr. Su Mu?
【Jean】：@Ningguang, do you know anything?
【Ningguang】：About what happened in Liyue, I only know some details.
【Ningguang】：The Traveler was used by "Childe" to convey what happened during the Rite of Descension to the Liyue adepti.
【Tartaglia】：It's too harsh to say I used her!
【Tartaglia】：I just saw the Traveler in trouble, so I offered a helping hand.
【Ningguang】：In any case, this was the occasion for the Traveler and "Childe" to meet, and there were a series of events that followed.
【Ningguang】：However, they didn't end up turning against each other, so it's unlikely that what happened on the screen would have happened. There must have been something different in that parallel world.
【Signora】：As expected of Tianquan Ningguang.
【Signora】：Your intelligence network is no less than the Fatui's.
【Signora】：From what I know about "Childe," he might not have had any malice in doing this.
【Signora】：To be honest, his personality isn't suited to being an Executor, because he often interprets others with good intentions, so he's often taken advantage of.
【Signora】：As for why he's so afraid of that Mr. Su Mu...
【Signora】：The most likely reason is that Mr. Su Mu crushed his mental defenses with absolute power.
【Signora】：Su Mu has become "Childe's" greatest fear, which is why he has a stress response when he sees Su Mu.
【Signora】：Of course, there aren't many people who can do this.
【Signora】：Looking at the entire Fatui, I think only "The Jester" could do this.
【Kaeya】：Oh? Why only "The Jester"? Didn't "The Captain" also have enough power to rival a god?
【Signora】:"The Captain" wouldn't do something like this. He would only win in a fair fight. It's basically impossible for him to leave psychological scars.
Just when the group chat was buzzing with discussion.
Lumine, the person involved, couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
After all, when she was in Liyue, she only obtained the Anemo and Geo elements.
These two elements were very special and could not be combined, so they couldn't create elemental reactions. Their damage was relatively weak.
Because of this, she had only managed to barely defeat "Childe" in the Golden House. If he hadn't been uninterested in fighting, it was questionable whether she would have been able to win at all.
However, Su Mu, another Traveler, was able to leave an unforgettable psychological scar on "Childe" in Liyue. To this day, he still couldn't escape from that shadow.
How did Su Mu do it?
Lumine's mind couldn't help but be filled with a question.
As she traveled further and further, the number of times she got beaten up was increasing.
However, Su Mu had been able to crush "Childe" from the start, and his status was getting higher and higher.
Lumine felt like there were countless ants crawling in her heart. A strong curiosity tormented her, but no one could give her an answer.
"Am I... really a qualified Traveler?"
