Genshin Impact: The Vision of Gods Shines Again

Upon entering the gate, the people from Yunhan Society were already there to greet them, and then led the two into a room.

Through the wall, Mu Xian could hear the singing coming from not far away.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Yun is warming up his voice."

As he spoke, the man brought over several plates of pastries: "Please wait here for a moment, you two guests."

"Excuse me."

Zhong Li thanked him, while Mu Xian had already turned his attention to the snacks beside him.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the pastry was the kind that Mu Xian liked. She tentatively took a bite, and it was sour.

The coldness on his face faded slightly, and Mu Xian suddenly became curious about who this Mr. Yun was.

I would occasionally take a bite of the snack, and just as I was about to finish it, the singing from next door stopped.

A few minutes later, a delicate-looking girl with an inexplicable air of heroism pushed open the door and entered. Her first glance fell on the few remaining snacks in front of Mu Xian.

"Mr. Zhongli, you've been waiting for a long time."

Yun Jin chuckled softly, breaking the aura of unapproachability around her: "Mr. Zhongli seems to like what I prepared."

Yun Jin didn't look at Mu Xian at all, and Mu Xian, feeling a bit lonely, picked up another pastry...

The snacks were quickly finished, and Mu Xian looked up at the two people not far away.

Musical rhythm, cadence, tones...

Unintelligible words kept popping out of their mouths, and Mu Xian couldn't get a word in edgewise; he could only watch them having a good time.

The sound of porcelain hitting the table came from behind. Mu Xian turned his head and found that the empty plate of pastries had been cleaned up and a teacup had appeared in front of him.

"Are you thirsty, guest?"

The person who spoke was the one who brought Zhongli Muxian here. He smiled at Muxian and said, "Would you like some more snacks?"

Mu Xian shook his head and rejected his suggestion.

Seeing that person leave the room, Mu Xian looked at the tea in front of him.

To be honest, Mu Xian didn't like Liyue's tea, but since it was served, he felt it shouldn't be wasted.

Lifting the lid of the teacup, there was no steam as expected, and the purple liquid inside surprised Mu Xian.

Juice made from a mixture of hook fruit and grape juice!

How could Liyue have something like this? And why is it being placed right in front of me?

Suddenly, Mu Xian felt a rather intense gaze upon him.

Looking up, I saw two people chatting happily not far away, as if my previous feeling had been an illusion.

Am I just imagining things? Mu Xian had a feeling that something was off, but he didn't think about it too much and took a sip of his juice.

It doesn't taste exactly like the Mondstadt I remember, but it's not too far off.

Mu Xian suddenly felt a pang of nostalgia for his elder brother from the Ragenfend family in Mondstadt. Mu Xian remembered that when he left Mondstadt, Ragenfend had just become a Knight of Favonius, but in Liyue, he heard the news that Ragenfend had left the Knights and Mondstadt.

Perhaps because of their shared experience of leaving Mondstadt, Mu Xian felt a certain empathy for them.

I had hoped we might meet again, but unexpectedly...

“Mr. Yun, now that it’s getting dark, we won’t bother you any longer.”

Zhongli's voice interrupted Mu Xian's thoughts. Mu Xian came back to his senses in a daze and realized that he hadn't finished the juice in his hand.

"Mu Xuan, let's go."

Mu Xian silently finished his juice, nodded, and followed Zhong Li to say goodbye to Yun Jin.

This was the first time Mu Xian had come to see this girl who was called Mr. Yun.

The girl's eyes were fixed on Mu Xian, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Excuse me." Feeling uncomfortable, Mu Xian looked away. Considering the snacks and juice, Mu Xian's tone was not as cold as the others.

The girl's soft laughter reached his ears, and Mu Xian, who was about to say a few more words, stopped himself from speaking.

But then Yun Jin looked at Mu Xian with a smile that was both delighted and sincere: "When you have free time, you can come here to sit more often."

Leaving Yunhan Society, Mu Xian finally couldn't help but speak.

"I have a feeling that she knows me."

“I told you so,” Zhong Li said, her tone carrying a strange hint of comfort. “I told you, you know her.”

"But I don't remember it."

"As I've said before, five years can make a lot of a difference in a person."

Along the way, Mu Xian and Zhong Li talked for a long time, until they stopped at the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth.

This was the first time Mu Xian had seriously looked at the figure in front of him.

A young girl dressed in a long gown sat on the stone steps at the entrance, her smooth thighs supporting her arms, which in turn supported her drooping head.

Two beautiful brown ponytails hung down behind her head, swaying up and down with her head. Her originally listless spirit suddenly disappeared after seeing Mu Xian.

Without saying a word, Hu Tao suddenly ran up to Mu Xian and hugged him. The familiar feeling reminded Mu Xian of the time in the Layered Rock Abyss.

I like it... now it's time to say so.

Mu Xian silently pushed Hu Tao away and spoke to her in response to her puzzled look.

"Master, we should keep some distance between us."

In the darkness, Mu Xian's eyes were obscured by indifference: "We are only in a contractual relationship, and the contract will end sooner or later."

Chapter 27 Their skills are not as great as yours last night.

The entire shrine fell silent for a long time.

Zhongli looked at the girl with her head down in front of him and sighed inwardly.

He guessed that the hall master must have said something to Mu Xian, making Mu Xian take the hall master seriously.

However, it's not a good thing for Mu Xian to face his current situation squarely.

Thinking about it, Zhongli wanted to say something to comfort him.

Before she could even take her right foot, the girl's voice broke the silence.

"Hu Muxuan..."

Hu Tao looked up, her eyes smiling, but the corners of her eyes were glistening with tears.

"I'm still worried about whether I should call him Little Wood or Brother Mu Xian in the future."

"From now on... I'll call you Hu Muxuan."

"Like you said...keep your distance."

The girl stared at Mu Xian, hoping to see some regret in him, but Mu Xian simply nodded.

"Thank you."

Mu Xian's words made him turn around and walk into the Hall of Rebirth, and he quickly disappeared from sight.

Zhongli looked at Mu Xian, wanting to say something, but he felt he had no right to offer any advice.

After all, Zhongli was partly responsible for making Mu Xian the way he was.

After a moment of silence, Zhongli asked, "What do you think of Ningguang?"

“A woman who would do anything for Mora and status should be hung on a lamppost after she dies.”

Mu Xian's tone was calm, but it seemed to be a calmness to suppress hatred: "Before, I wanted to make her lose everything, but now I just want to end the contract."

"Because of what happened five years ago?"

Zhong Li said, "Perhaps you should know the truth."

"I've said before that all I want now is to end the contract."

"This world has exhausted my emotions. No matter the truth, all I feel for this world is disgust."

"Every extra second I live in this world makes me feel disgusted."

"If I'm dead, I'm dead. Why are you stopping me?"

Zhongli remained silent, for the wear and tear inflicted on Mu Xian was greater than he had imagined.

"It's getting late," Zhong Li said. "Remember to get some rest."

Mu Xian did not answer, but heard footsteps gradually fading away behind him.

As night fell, Mu Xian sat down on the stone steps where Hu Tao had once sat.

It was the fifteenth of the lunar month, but the high-hanging full moon was half-hidden by a dark cloud.

Mu Xian raised his hand, trying to block the moon from his view, but the moon slipped through the gaps between his fingers.

The moonlight shines only when it hangs high in the sky. Even if it is covered by dark clouds, it is the people who are always looking at the moon who are being covered, not the moon itself.

The building in the sky came into Mu Xian's view once again. This time, there was no disgust in Mu Xian's eyes, and he had no time to feel disgust because he was thinking about other things.

Beautiful things are best admired from afar.

He turned his palm over, and Mu Xian stared at the palm lines in his palm, seemingly lost in thought.

Whether it's the moon or the brighter the moonlight, whatever it is, if you try to hold onto it tightly, it will easily shatter.

...

He woke up on the stone steps and saw Zhongli standing in front of him.

"Looks like you slept here all night."

Zhong Li said, "This body isn't meant to be used like this."

"I'm sorry," Mu Xian said, then turned his gaze away.

The walnut that used to entangle him was now standing in the distance, holding a small wooden plaque hanging on the sign, writing something, I don't know.

"Is the sect leader going too?" Mu Xian asked. "Will her health deteriorate?"
