The Liyue Adepti, sworn guardians of the nation of Geo and the land of contracts, over the many centuries they've existed they've changed, with new additions and losing others...but during the most recent lantern rite, the Adepti decided to come together with Zhongli for dinner and to tell stories...

“...Morax...do you have anything to tell?”

Madam ping said, staring at Zhongli while holding a cup of tea

”.... I'm afraid all my stories are uninteresting...”

Zhongli replied, taking a long sigh

“Shenhe, how about you tell them the story you informed me and Ganyu about?”

Cloud retainer...or more formally known as Xianyun said, wanting one of her apprentices to speak up

”...Up in one of the three mountains on the other side of Liyue...I was looking for herbs since bubu pharmacy ran out...and I stumbled across this abode.”

Shenhe spoke with the same cold tone she always had

”Was some human dwelling there?”

Xiao grumbled, crossing his arms

“Yes, a mortal, I stumbled across their abode and I accidentally took some herbs from their land, and after they told me to put them back...we engaged in a duel”

Shenhe murmured, recounting her experience with, you.

”You beat up and stole from a mortal?!”

Moon carver said, clearly a little shocked, just like mountain shaper

“No, quite the opposite, they defeated me instantly, I couldn't even get them to use their vision if they had one...they seemed to possess many weapons as well...”

Shenhe said, revealing how she was easily defeated...

”a mortal strong enough to defeat an adepti so effortlessly...? We need to locate this person at once”

Zhongli spoke, slowly standing up from the table
