Genshin Impact: The Vision of Gods Shines Again

"The ensemble leader is more serious than I expected."

Ningguang smiled brightly, and the tense atmosphere immediately dissipated: "What I want... I'm afraid it involves the private matter that Commander Qin mentioned."

Qin's pupils trembled slightly, but she made no other move, quietly waiting for Ningguang's next words.

“A long time ago, I had a companion from Mondstadt who helped me a lot during that time.”

"However, for some reason, we separated for a while."

"I thought that we would meet again after we parted, but I never expected that when we met again, he would become someone else's companion."

Click!

The sound of something breaking drew Qin's attention away from Ningguang's words.

Upon closer inspection, the teacup in Tianquanxing's hand had shattered into pieces at some point, and warm tea mixed with a little crimson was flowing out between his fingers.

Upon seeing this, Baiwen, who was standing to the side, quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe Ningguang's right hand, while Baishi on the other side quickly dealt with the broken porcelain.

In the blink of an eye, another cup of tea was placed in front of Ningguang, who picked it up with her bandaged right hand.

"Sorry," Ningguang said, "I accidentally broke the teacup."

Shattered? How could shattered pieces be in your hand?

Qin naturally couldn't expose this perfunctory excuse. After pondering for a long time, she asked, "Tianquan Star, is the companion you mentioned my brother?"

“It seems that Commander Qin has also guessed it.” Ningguang laughed self-deprecatingly: “That guy kept it from me for a long time, and I only found out his identity a few days ago.”

"I thought we were from the same background, but I never imagined that guy was a nobleman from Mondstadt."

"I suppose that guy looked down on me back then, which is why he chose to cooperate with others."

"My brother isn't like that!"

Qin suddenly stood up, her urgent explanation completely unlike her previous aristocratic demeanor.

After a second or two, Qin, having recovered, slowly sat down again: "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

“It’s alright,” Ningguang said. “It seems you siblings have a good relationship.”

After saying this, Ningguang looked at Qin, only to find that Qin was pursing her lips and did not answer.

Her red pupils shone brightly. Ningguang took a sip of tea and said, "If you want to cooperate, then Commander Qin should give me something that once belonged to your brother."

"Okay." Qin nodded. "However, please tell me, Tianquan Star, where exactly is my brother?"

“I knew Director Qin would ask this question.”

Ningguang put down her teacup, looking down as if gazing at the tea inside, but her eyes held a strange expression: "Muxian isn't in Liyue right now. He should be at Narukami Shrine in Inazuma..."

After Qin left, Ningguang walked out of the Jade Pavilion again, gazing at the gradually lit Liyue Harbor, a picture card clutched in her hand.

In the picture, a girl sits in a cart, her slender arms around a boy who is pulling the cart. The boy looks distressed, but his blond hair is as dazzling as the girl's radiant smile.

After a long while, a figure appeared in Ningguang's eyes; it was Baixiao, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

"Lord Tianquan, what should we do with the Fools who have been infected by the Abyss?"

"If you can save him, save him and return him to the Fools. If you can't save him, just get rid of him secretly."

"I understand. What about Yelan? She seems to want to see you?"

"Assign her a task and send her to the Layered Rock Abyss."

"Yes."

As night fell, Ningguang stared at the picture in her hand. Even though the lights illuminated the entire Liyue Harbor, the darkness prevented her from seeing the picture clearly.

The Jade Pavilion should be located above Liyue Harbor, but Ningguang chose a location furthest from Mingyun Town.

Tear!

The sound of the picture being torn came, and Ningguang slowly tore the picture in her hand into pieces. She held the white pieces in her hand and then scattered them from the Qunyu Pavilion.

[For important matters, Tianquan would lean against the Jade Pavilion, appreciating the scenery and contemplating in silence. Whenever a decision was made, he would tear up the documents, scattering the fragments into the air, a phenomenon known as "shattered snow."]

The falling "snowflakes" signify that Tianquan has made his decision and is announcing it to Liyue.

Chapter 14 Qiqi remembered the Great Sparrow

Lumenite is very hard, and it took Bai Zhu a long time to carve out a fragment of Lumenite, and then a long time to crush the fragment.

The powder was sprinkled into the medicine bowl, and the surface of the medicine in the bowl glowed with tiny fluorescent spots. Combined with the dark yellow liquid, it made people completely lose their desire to drink it.

The strong smell of the medicine, combined with the visual and olfactory impact, almost made Mu Xian lose control, let alone the fact that he had to drink it himself.

"Good medicine tastes bitter." Looking at Mu Xian's expression, Bai Shu smiled and said, "Compared to the body, this little bit of bitterness is nothing."

Mu Xian stared silently at the unappealing medicine bowl, somewhat unwilling to let Bai Zhu's painstaking efforts go to waste.

Whether in the past or present, Bai Shu is a respectable doctor. Apart from that chattering white snake, Mu Xian has always had a very good impression of Bu Bu Lu.

It's true that I want to die, but I don't want to owe anyone anything, so that I won't feel guilty about these things when I actually reach the ley lines.

Ugh, what a hassle.

Enduring the taste of the medicine, Mu Xian drank the soup in the bowl. It was even more bitter than he had imagined. Mu Xian even suspected that Bai Zhu had added something to it to trick him.

It was only slightly bitter, nothing compared to the pain caused by the corrosive effects of the abyss within the body.

After drinking the medicine, Mu Xian still had a slightly bitter taste in his mouth.

"How are you feeling?" Bai Shu asked. "Are you feeling any better?"

Mu Xian shook his head: "It's useless, we shouldn't make this medicine."

"Perhaps the medicine hasn't taken effect yet," Bai Zhu comforted her. "This medicine will definitely work."

It works, but is it possible that I just don't want to take the medicine?

Mu Xian looked at Bai Shu, but ultimately didn't say those words.

"Don't worry, even if the medicine can't solve your current situation, it can suppress it for a while."

As they talked, Bai Shu suddenly became serious: "I will definitely cure you."

"Mr. Bai~"

Qi Qi suddenly walked in, her eyes looking at Mu Xian with some confusion: "Ah~, Big Sparrow~"

As she spoke, Qiqi seemed about to come over and hug Mu Xian, but Bai Shu pulled her back.

"Qiqi, you should tell me what you want to see me about?" Bai Shu asked.

"Ah~" Qiqi looked up, her eyes filled with only a big blank and confused look.

The confusion in her eyes dissipated, and Qi Qi seemed to remember something: "I remember now~, someone outside is looking for Mr. Bai~"

"Someone is looking for me?" Bai Shu asked, puzzled. He glanced at the sky and realized it was already evening.

"Qiqi, keep an eye on Hu Muxuan. I'm going out for a bit."

"Good~"

Bai Shu's figure disappeared from the room, and the little zombie occupied Mu Xian's entire field of vision.

"Big Sparrow~, Qiqi remembers you~"

"Even without notes, Qiqi remembers you~"

Qiqi, the zombie, pressed herself against Mu Xian. Mu Xian looked away, but her nose caught a whiff of the delicate fragrance emanating from the glass bag in Jueyun Pavilion.

“You’re mistaken,” Mu Xian said. “I’m not some big magpie you’re talking about.”

"I can't be mistaken~" Qiqi was more stubborn than expected: "It's not that Qiqi forgot the Big Sparrow~, it's that the Big Sparrow forgot Qiqi~"

"The Great Sparrow said that as long as Qiqi remembers the Great Sparrow, the Great Sparrow will fly back."

Mu Xian didn't know how to answer. This clumsy little guy recognized him at first glance.

Is this... considered a zombie's special talent?

However, Mu Xian did not intend to admit it himself. He closed his eyes, lay down on the bed, and said, "Sorry, I want to rest."

"That big bird needs to rest well~, and hopefully it won't disappear again~"

The footsteps gradually faded away, and even the sound of the door closing became much softer.

When I opened my eyes again, a pair of terrifying red lights suddenly appeared in the darkness of the room.

Mu Xian stared at the red light in front of him, and the next second he realized what it was.

"Why are you here?"

The next moment, Mu Xian's previously sullen expression turned impatient.

"Hehe, my personal employee is injured, so of course I have to come and take care of him."

The sound grew closer, and the originally blurry red light transformed into a pair of plum blossom eyes. Hu Tao, dressed in a light blue outfit, began to show herself.

"How is it? Does it look good? I specially changed the walnut one."

The girl's movements were somewhat stiff, but in the dim light, Mu Xian couldn't even tell whether Hu Tao had changed her clothes or not.

"It's too dark, I can't see."

"what about now?"

The flickering firelight bathed the entire room in a yellowish glow. Mu Xian felt a sudden weight on the bedside as Hu Tao sat down beside him.

"Little Wood, do you think this outfit looks good?"

By candlelight, Mu Xian could see Hu Tao's face clearly. Her face lacked its usual liveliness; instead, her calm expression revealed a hint of seriousness and tenderness.

Mu Xian was taken aback for a moment, then quickly came to his senses.

Warmth? Seriousness? Perhaps I've misjudged.

Mu Xian shook his head, his gaze involuntarily falling on Hu Tao's new clothes: "To be honest, you're not suited to wear these clothes, Hall Master."

The little face in the room was furrowed, looking somewhat unhappy.

“I said, as an employee, you should learn to praise your boss.”

"If you continue like this, I, the head of this hall, will not give you a raise, Little Wooden Head."
