After navigating through the routes to get to the Golden House, they arrived on the context that there were no guards around. They opened the door and walked in to see that it was filled to the brim with Mora and at the far end was the body of Morax/ Rex Lapis, the Geo Archon.
Paimon: Wow... This is the Golden House?
Lumine: At this rate it has to be.
Paimon: It looked impressive enough from the outside... But who would've guessed that it was even fancier on the inside... and so full of Mora!!!
Denki: Yeah! It feels like we just walked into an abandoned gold mine and it is ours for the taking!
Paimon: This is where all of Teyvat's Mora is minted, right? In that case, maybe they won't notice if a few Mora go missing...
Shoto: In that case this place should have been emptied a long time ago, that is if the Millelith were supposed to be guarding this place but it's empty. It feels like it's a trap of some sort.
Paimon: Ooh, so it's a trap. Tricky, tricky... Good thing Paimon's got you guys here! But even if we can't take any, we can still have a closer look, right? Or better yet, take a nap on top of a mountain of Mora! It's like a dream come true!
Shoto: That can wait. Let's investigate the Exuvia first.
Lumine: Yeah. It feels like something is amiss here.
Paimon: Oh, right! Back to business. It's quiet... Too quiet. Surely someone's gotta be guarding something as important as the Exuvia.
Denki: Guys. Look, the Milelith who were supposed to be guarding this place, they are knocked out!
He says batting the eye towards the guards that were scattered around the area.
Shoto: I have a bad feeling about this.....let's check the Exuvia to see if it is okay.
Paimon: Good idea!
Shoto: Plus I want to confirm my theories if Zhongli is really a Geo Archon that is if the Gnosis is still in the Exuvia.....
The four then rushed towards the Exuvia and as expected it was still in mint condition and unharmed.
Denki: Good, it's still in one piece.
Paimon: So what should we do? Take the Gnosis before he does?
Shoto: That maybe the best course of action. We don't want a repeat of what happened in Mondstadt.
Paimon: But what are we going to do with it once we take it?
Shoto: Keeping it here will cause an issue so I say we hide it and take it with us.
Paimon: But isn't that stealing?
Lumine: We can explain the issue to Lady Ningguang and I'm sure she will understand.
Shoto: Good call. Now let's start.
???: You've already fulfilled your task as guides, so why do you still linger here? Haven't you already seen enough trouble for today?
Paimon: Huh? Who's there?
A familiar voice rang out revealing to be Childe walking up the stairs towards them.
Childe: If you were Fatui, I imagine that you would be entitled to a generous reward from the Tsaritsa herself. But now, you're nothing but dross — and you're in my way.
Denki: Well well well. The traitorous scumbag has finally showed his face.
Shoto: Just as I thought. It appears that we were just in time.

Lumine: How did you even find out it was here?
Childe: Hmm, where should I start? Well, I've never been one to beat around the bush, you know. But who could have possibly guessed that the God of Geo would mysteriously perish the very moment I arrived in Liyue, and that the Exuvia would subsequently be hidden away? And besides thanks to you, I was able to find this secret location. Don't you think that trying to stop me now would just be wasted effort?
Denki: There is four of us and one of you so don't think we will get you close to the Exuvia that easily.
Childe: Numbers are nothing to me.....Stopping the Mora mints, hiding away the Exuvia... Hahaha, the Qixing are really pulling out all the stops this time...
Paimon: So you've been planning to take the Gnosis from inside the Exuvia all along!?
Childe: As one of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers, it's my duty to see the will of the Tsaritsa fulfilled. She will get that which she desires.
Shoto: So you intend to get it by any means necessary, including force. Not if we have something to say about it.
Lumine: That's right. We won't allow you to get near the Exuvia!
Childe: Hah! I'm not asking for your blessings, and there's nothing you can do to stop me anyway.
Denki: Oh there is, if you want to get to the Exuvia you have to get through us!
Childe: The time for discussion and diplomacy has already passed. I mean, if it were up to me, I would have skipped that stage to begin with... but I'm willing to do as the Tsaritsa deems fit. Either way — we now come to my favorite part. A simple pleasure, and one that I am oh-so-delighted to be sharing with you all... The battle.
Paimon: Battle? So you're the type that goes looking for trouble, huh?
Childe: Haha, you could say that. When Signora offended the deities outside the Cathedral in Mondstadt, she swiftly left the scene once her mission was accomplished. Instead of confronting you directly, she chose to rely on the snow and ice to make her escape. She wouldn't want the Knights to come running towards the sound of battle, now, would she? When she faces a worthy opponent, she will prioritize her mission, weigh the outcomes, and consider the consequences of her actions... But as for me, the greatest pleasure of being a Harbinger lies in crossing blades with strong opponents.
Shoto: His tactical approach reminds me of Bakugo. He has the habit of fighting strong opponents at their best to prove that he is the strongest of them all. But I will be damned to lose to him at this rate. He is a villain after all.
Paimon: We won't let what happened in Mondstadt ever happen again!
Lumine: That's right. We lost to a Harbinger once, and we're not going to lose to another one again!
Denki: You picked the wrong people to mess with! And is time you learned that the hard way!
Childe: Oh? So you intend to fight me? Good. I won't kill you, Travelers. I'll just play along — to feel the thrill of battle! Besides, you could never defeat me. Not even in your wildest dreams. But hey, try to relish the fight anyway. Because if you ask me... without that, what else is there?
Denki/Lumine/Shoto: I could never defeat you? You are completely delusional.
Childe: Ahahahaha! Fighting talk, I love it! Now, let's see you live up to it.
Shoto: Paimon you stay put and guard the Exuvia. We will take care of the fighting from here.
Paimon: Right!
