Seven days have passed since the accident at the academic exchange meeting and the library, and many people in Xumi City have been talking about this major event.

At this time, in a teahouse somewhere in Xumi, three people were discussing various topics about this incident.

"This is the first time in my life that I have seen the power of Lord Tree King. It's a pity that the two warriors died together with the huge monster. However, they are heroes of the entire Xumi City."

"Hey, don't be so pessimistic. I remember that Lord Tree King seemed to have taken action at the end. The whole Xumi City could see the pillar of light rising into the sky. Maybe the warrior is still alive."

"Don't mention it. Your information is so out of date. These are all rumors. Warriors don't actually exist. Everything was solved by Lord Tree King."

"What do you mean, man? Even though the warriors used powers given by the Tree King, they are still heroes."

"Why, do you have any objections? Didn't they use the power of Lord Tree King to defeat the monster? It's not that great in essence, right?"

"You guys need to be fixed up, don't you?"

At this time, Tianana, who was sitting at the next table, listened to what was said at the next table. She looked at the fight at the next table with a helpless expression and sighed.

"What's wrong? Because they are unhappy about the topic."

At this moment, Ye Li, who was sitting opposite, cast a puzzled look at her. Tianana shook her head and said:

"It's not about that. You're leaving soon, so I plan to bring you some local specialties."

Ye Li smiled thoughtfully. He appreciated the girl's kindness, but as for local specialties, he could accept any other ones except Tinana's barbecue.

"Okay, don't worry about it for now. I still have a few days before I leave."

Ye Li's words made the girl relax a little, but the noise from the fight at the next table still disturbed many people in the teahouse.

"What do you want to do in my teahouse, you bastards?"

At this time, the sturdy proprietress rushed out from the back door of the teahouse, holding a large knife for chopping tea leaves in her hand, shining brightly, scaring the fighting guests so much that they apologized repeatedly.

Ye Li took a look, stood up and ignored it, walked towards the entrance of the teahouse, and said:

"Tinana, it's time to go."

"Here I come. I haven't forgotten today's important event."

The sun was scorching at noon, covering the earth with its light like a waterfall. At this moment, it was in the most sacred Jingshan Palace in the entire Xumi.

The Great Compassionate Tree King looked at the green stone in his hand that had been sealed and had no breath left. His expression, as gentle as that of the mother of all things, was tinged with a hint of coldness, but it eventually turned into a sigh.

At this time, the door of the empty palace was opened, and Ye Li and the nervous and excited Tianana stepped in.

The Great Compassion Tree King looked at the two people who came in with gentle eyes. He said nothing and waited quietly for Tinana to calm down.

Tianana took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked into those soft green eyes that were full of vitality.

"Hello, Lord Tree King."

Although Tianana mustered up the courage to face it, she began to stutter.

Ye Li didn't find it strange. After all, being able to see the true body of a god in person was an unattainable dream for all the people of Xumi.

"Child, don't be nervous, don't restrain yourself, just relax."

Tianana's originally nervous and blushing expression slowly calmed down, and she felt an instinctive sense of security and comfort at the voice that sounded like a mother's caring voice.

"Lord Tree King, we were asked to come here today because of what happened before."

The Great Compassion Tree King smiled and said without commenting on what Ye Li said:

"It's indeed because of the exchange meeting. After all, you saved the people there, but their memories are fuzzy and they can't remember that you are the hero who saved them."

A golden light flashed in Ye Li's eyes, and he looked at the Great Compassion Tree King for a moment. The arrangement with vague memory of this matter was all within his expectations.

After all, people are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat. Ye Li doesn't want his name to spread everywhere and cause unnecessary trouble.

Tinana's expression also became serious. As for her memory of that time, she only remembered the scene in the final battle where she was knocked unconscious by a mechanism, and she didn't know the rest.

But judging from the final result, the Tree King took action and settled the matter.

But she soon stopped caring because the Great Compassion Tree King took out two leaves and flew into Ye Li and Tinana's hands respectively.

"You saved the people of Xumi at the exchange meeting. As a god, I was negligent for not arriving in time. These two leaves are both a reward for you saving them and a small apology from me."

Tianana's expression suddenly became serious, she clenched the leaves in her hand and said:

"Thank you for the gift, Lord Tree King. I will cherish this leaf."

Tinana was not pretentious and sincerely thanked the Great Compassion Tree King. After all, she was able to fully control the power she had gained before, which was enough to protect her and her brother. However, having one more trump card would also be a kind of guarantee.

Ye Li took the leaf and put it in the bag behind him. His attitude was not as serious as that of Tinana. He smiled calmly:

"Thank you, Lord Tree King. When I return to Liyue, I will report this matter to Lord Rock King. I believe that the communication between the two countries will be smoother in the future."

Just like that, the three of them had a detailed conversation in this empty hall. Tinana left Jingshan Palace early because Tinado had something to ask her.

Seeing Tinana leave, Ye Li and the Great Ci Tree King's expressions changed from smiling to serious. The entire palace was filled with an elemental force, isolating all detection and sounds outside the palace.

Ye Li's grey-blue eyes turned golden, and a faint demonic pressure appeared. He looked at the Great Compassion Tree King with a serious expression and said:

"Sister Tree King, you should have explored that stone. Have you accurately locked the other party's position?"

The Great Compassion Tree King's brows turned serious, his green eyes radiated divine light, and his soft, clear voice echoed in the vast palace:

"That guy is very cunning. I can only observe the general direction of the aura. And because of the person in the sky, I can't mobilize too much power on the other side of the World Tree. I'm sorry, I can't help you much."

"Sister Tree King, you don't have to apologize. Ever since the Demon God War began, the one in the sky has been very quiet. It is also expected that the World Tree's detection of information is limited."

"It seems that Morax has already anticipated this. Well, I will tell you the approximate location of the dream master. If you need help after finding him, I will do my best to help you."

The sun rises and the moon sets, time flies by like a white horse, and seven days have passed in a blink of an eye.

Ye Li stood in front of the gate leading to the Layered Rock Abyss in Bianchu Town, accompanied by the siblings Tinado and Tinana.

"I say, you don't need to be sent here, right? Don't you all have jobs? Is it really okay?"

Ye Li looked very helpless, but Tinado could understand him. After all, he was a forest ranger and was able to change the inspection location to here.

But it’s different for Tinana. Ye Li heard that because of Ku Azha, his faction was being hunted by a large number of soldiers and disciplinary officers. Logically, Tinana should be very busy, so how could she have time to send him off?

"Hey, don't worry about work. Don't forget that I still have a lot of Mora. It's okay not to work for a while."

"It's not a big problem on my side. After all, I'm here to investigate the ecological environment. Sending you there doesn't conflict with my work."

After hearing the two's explanation, Ye Li's helpless expression returned to calmness and he said:

"Okay, whatever you two do."

Having said that, Ye Li turned and walked towards the direction of the Layered Rock Abyss.

Tianana looked at someone's leaving back with reluctance in her eyes. She bit her lips lightly and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't dare to say it out loud.

Looking at his sister's nagging expression, Tinado couldn't help but reach out and push her, saying:

"Say whatever you want now, don't regret it later, stupid sister."

Seeing that her brother was helping her so much, Tinana plucked up her courage and made a trumpet shape with her hands and shouted:

"Ye Li, will you come back?"

Ye Li waved without even turning his head:

"Yes, if I hadn't come, you could have come to Liyue to find me. I promise not to treat you badly as a friend."

Tinana tightly grasped a jade pendant with a dragon pattern that someone had given her last night, and watched Ye Li's gradually disappearing back as she shouted:

"Okay, I'll go. Don't turn your back on me when the time comes."

Tinado looked at his sister's expression of laughing and crying, and just smiled faintly, looked up at the sun hanging high above his head, and said in his heart:

"I don't know when we will meet again, my friend."

Time flies, and a day is gone in the blink of an eye.

Ye Li walked on the gravel-covered mountain wall, looking at the huge rock abyss that gradually came into view, with a faint smile on his face, and said:

"Liyue, your prince is back!"
