Chapter 13
An Unexpected Other Side

Led by Lilith.

Su Mu toured most of the city.

“Mr. Su Mu, how do you like the city after touring it?”

The two arrived at the cafe, and after Su Mu took a seat, Lilith cautiously asked.

Although this was not her first time as a tour guide, it was her first time as a tour guide for a big shot like Su Mu.

Su Mu didn’t rush to answer Lilith’s question, but looked at her and smiled, “You must be tired after walking so far. Sit down and chat.”

“No... no need!” Lilith was taken aback.

“You are a distinguished guest, how can I sit next to you!”

Seeing her humble demeanor, Su Mu smiled and reached out, gently pulling her to sit down.

“I don’t like formalities.”

“There’s no need to be so restrained in front of me.”

“Boss, get us two coffees and a dessert.”

The cafe owner nodded in agreement.

Lilith, however, nervously lowered her head.

“Su... Su Mu, Mr... you don’t have to care about my feelings.”

“Why?”

“I... I’m just a tour guide...”

“Heh... don’t dwell on status.”

“I don’t care about status, it’s all external.”

Su Mu took the coffee handed to him by the owner, took a sip, and said with a sigh:

“The Geo Archon is famous throughout the world, not because he is the Geo Archon, but because he is the Geo Archon.”

“One’s ability and worth have nothing to do with status. As long as I like someone, I won’t treat them differently because of their status.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the other coffee and dessert were brought over.

Su Mu gently pushed the plate, moving the exquisite dessert in front of Lilith.

“You must be tired. Have some dessert to recharge. I’ll need you to take me to the Palace of Momas tomorrow.”

Hearing this, Lilith was slightly stunned.

She waved her hand in a panic, somewhat taken aback.

However, when she saw the gentle smile on Su Mu’s face, she suddenly understood.

“Th... thank you, Mr. Su Mu.”

“You’re welcome, beautiful lady.”

Lilith smiled and nodded, gracefully savoring the dessert.

And Su Mu, with a smile, enjoyed his coffee, relishing the afternoon tea.

【Amber】:This Mr. Su Mu is so gentlemanly!

【Collei】:Yeah, he doesn’t have that aloof aura at all!

【Keqing】:I thought he would be a cold person, but I didn’t expect him to be so gentle.

【Keqing】:A cold adventurer and a gentle gentleman, it’s hard to imagine these two temperaments appearing in the same person.

【Sigwin】:Oh my, I suddenly feel a little envious of Lilith!

【Leozsley】:Hey hey hey, you can’t pretend you didn’t hear that!

【Leozsley】:Your privileges in Meropedes are even more than mine, the warden!

【Sigwin】:Don’t be angry! I just suddenly felt a little sentimental.

【Sigwin】:Even though I’m doing well, doesn’t mean that all the Melusine are doing well.

【Xinyan】:Indeed, although the relationship between the Fontaine people and the Melusine has eased, conflicts still occur from time to time.

【Xinyan】:The Fontaine people clearly enjoy the service of the Melusine, but they have no gratitude. In this regard, they are completely incomparable to Mr. Su Mu.

【Ningguang】:It is truly not easy to be in a high position and still be approachable.

【Ningguang】:More importantly, his behavior isn’t deliberately shown to others.

【Ningguang】:This means that his nature is like this. I seem to understand why he has such a good reputation.

The brief afternoon tea time ended.

Lilith took Su Mu to the Palace of Momas to look for information.

All the way, she was sharing what she knew with Su Mu.

Although it wasn’t as complete as the archival records, it already covered most of the key information.

The two quickly arrived at the top floor of the Palace of Momas. Due to Naville’s instructions, they were not obstructed.

Soon, a clerk brought a thick stack of documents.

With the information provided by Lilith, the review was quick.

As the sunset dyed the sky red, Su Mu had already finished reading all the case files.

【Diona】:He finished reading the files so fast?

【Diona】:With so many documents, I would need at least a few days!

【Tighnari】:If you were to read it normally, it would indeed take several days to finish.

【Tighnari】:Because Lilith provided detailed information, it saved a lot of the parts that need to be reviewed repeatedly.

【Xingqiu】:Mr. Su Mu’s kindness was reciprocated by Lilith.

【Xingqiu】:In Liyue’s vernacular, that’s called repaying kindness with kindness.

【Yelan】:Not relying on interests to build an intelligence network, not everyone can do that.

【Yelan】:It seems that this Mr. Su Mu is very good at observing human nature and can make people willingly work for him.

【Yelan】:I seem to understand why he has such a terrifying intelligence network, probably he has a group of loyal partners behind him.

【Hu Tao】:Oh my, what an amazing guy!

【Hu Tao】:If I could use his network, it would be great to promote me a bit.

【Xiangling】:If you want to destroy his network, just say so. Who would ask someone to help them promote coffins?

After Su Mu finished reading the relevant information.

The two left the Palace of Momas together, and Lilith softly asked:

“Mr. Su Mu, it’s still early. What are your plans next?”

“If you plan to rest, I’ll take you to the Debo Grand Hotel, just take the elevator down and you’ll be there.”

“If you want to experience the local flavor of Fontaine, I can take you to Ile de Philanemo, the scenery there is also very nice.”

“Not only that, Ile de Philanemo also has the 露景泉 (Lù Jǐng Quán, literally "露景泉", a type of hot spring) and the Opheliac Opera House. It is said that the grand magician Linne will perform magic at the opera house tonight.”

“Oh? Really?”

Hearing this, Su Mu thought for a moment and said:

“Since that’s the case, let’s go to Ile de Philanemo first.”

“But we’re going there temporarily, will we have time to buy tickets? Will we be able to buy them?”

“Ah, Mr. Su Mu, don’t worry, Mr. Naville has already reserved a VIP seat for you.”

“VIP seat?” Hearing this, Su Mu pondered for a moment, glanced at Lilith, who was full of anticipation, and nodded with a smile, “Then let’s go.”
