Original God Zhongli BG Xiao Qinglong traveled through time

Chapter 253 Inn

Staring at Gan Yu's figure walking away, Lin Huan and Yaoyao turned and walked slowly towards the inn. Under the curtain of night, the familiar sign of Baiju Inn exuded a soft halo, as if silently looking forward to their return.

Entering the hotel, the warm light inside dispelled the chill of the night. Lin Huan and Yaoyao briefly exchanged pleasantries with the store owner. The store owner said warmly, "You two are back. Did you have a good time today?" Lin Huan smiled and replied, "Not bad, thank you."

Then, the two of them climbed the stairs and headed for the room upstairs. There were several old oil lamps hanging on both sides of the corridor of the hotel, and the lights flickered and cast faint light and shadows on the walls. The wooden floor made a slight "creaking" sound underfoot, as if whispering the long-ago past of the hotel.

Lin Huan and Yaoyao walked along the corridor to the door of their room. Lin Huan reached out from his pocket to take out the key, and just as the key was about to be inserted into the lock, the door of the next room suddenly opened with a creak.

Tartaglia walked out of the room. He was wearing a dark grey suit, which looked thick and had delicate dark patterns embroidered on it. When the light shone on it, it would appear and disappear from time to time. This was a typical winter country style clothing, simple and elegant, showing his perseverance as a person from the cold north. He had a wide belt tied around his waist, with several strangely shaped small objects hanging on it, which swayed gently with his movements, making subtle metal clash sounds. His boots were solid and heavy, and the unique patterns on the boots were clearly visible, stained with the dust of the journey, as if silently telling his experience along the way.

When Tartaglia saw Lin Huan and Yaoyao, a barely perceptible surprise flashed across his eyes. Then a faint smile appeared on his face and he said, "Ms. Lin Huan, what a coincidence that you come back so late? Who is this lovely girl?" His gaze paused on Yaoyao for a moment, with a hint of inquiry.

Lin Huan replied politely, "Good evening, Mr. Tartaglia. Her name is Yaoyao, and she is my little sister. I took her to meet up with friends today, so she came back a little late." As she spoke, she gently stroked Yaoyao's hair, "Yaoyao, say hello to your brother."

Yaoyao said obediently: "Hello, brother."

Tartaglia nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth: "Hello, Yaoyao. Miss Lin Huan, the night scenery of Liyue must be extremely charming, which makes you linger here?" His words seemed ordinary, but there was a hint of temptation in them.

"Liyue's nights do have a unique charm." Lin Huan answered calmly, with a hint of alertness in his eyes.

"Then I hope you have a pleasant night. I won't disturb you to rest." Tartaglia bowed and turned to walk to the other end of the corridor. Lin Huan watched his back disappear around the corner, then opened the door and walked into the room with Yaoyao.

After entering the room, the two washed up, and Lin Huan began to coax Yaoyao to sleep. She sat gently beside the bed and told Yaoyao the ancient legend of Liyue in a gentle voice. Yaoyao lay in the warm quilt, and she felt sleepy. She yawned a little, and her eyes began to become hazy, but she was full of curiosity about the story, and she kept her spirits up and did not let her eyelids droop.

Lin Huan noticed Yaoyao's condition, so he continued speaking in a soft voice. His voice became softer and more soothing, as if it had the power of hypnosis.

However, just when Yaoyao's eyelids were about to close, suddenly, there was a sound of flapping wings outside the window. In this quiet night, the sound was particularly abrupt and loud.

Yaoyao was awakened instantly, her eyes wide open with sleepiness and panic still in them. She subconsciously shrank into Lin Huan's arms, seeking a sense of security.

Lin Huan frowned, knowing that it was the sound of the mechanical bird. She patted Yaoyao's back gently and said softly, "Don't be afraid, Yaoyao. Sister will go and take a look."

After saying that, Lin Huan stood up, walked lightly to the window, and reached out to push it open.

A mechanical bird quickly flew in, circled around the room, and landed on the table. Lin Huan walked forward and took out the letter from the secret compartment behind the mechanical bird. A bad feeling came over him.

Yaoyao got up from the bed curiously, walked to Lin Huan, and asked in a low voice: "Sister Huan, what is this?"

Lin Huan did not answer. She unfolded the letter and read it under the light. Gradually, her brows slightly frowned and her expression became solemn.

After reading, she held the letter under the lamp, and carefully watched the paper turn into ashes under the licking of the flame. Then she turned to look at Yaoyao, and met Yaoyao's eyes that were looking at her with worry.

"Sister Ahuan, did something bad happen?" Yaoyao asked.

Lin Huan gently touched Yaoyao's head and said, "It's okay, Yaoyao, it's not a big deal, the brothers and sisters will take care of it. It's very late now, Yaoyao, you should hurry up and fall asleep!"

Hearing this, Yaoyao nodded obediently and went back to bed. Lin Huan sat by the bed and coaxed Yaoyao to sleep again. This time, Yaoyao fell asleep quickly, leaving Lin Huan alone sitting by the bed, gently patting the sleeping little one in his arms, the cute little Tuan Que, while falling into deep thought, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

To Lin Huan:

Listen carefully, Inazuma. Under the rule of that puppet general, things seem peaceful on the surface, but what about the reality? In secret, things are already turbulent and full of dangers! The general's single-minded pursuit of the so-called eternity is simply an absurd idea. By doing this, she has messed up Inazuma.

Take the Eye Hunting Order she promoted, for example. It was an unreasonable farce! After the samurai's God's Eye was forcibly taken away, they were like birds with broken wings, and could only survive pitifully on the ground. And what about the people? They were tortured by this series of absurd things and were in great misery. They simply couldn't survive! She foolishly thought that following that old-fashioned and rigid idea would allow Inazuma to achieve eternity. It was simply a foolish dream. She didn't know that the eternity she pursued was pushing Inazuma step by step into the abyss of no return.

I am acting on the orders of the Queen, but in the process of carrying out the mission, I find more and more clearly that there is a huge difference between this mission and saving the people, and there is no way to reconcile them. I want to find a way out for the people, but look at the current situation in Inazuma, it is as complicated as a mess, with various forces fighting each other and refusing to give in. Different ideas conflict with each other, like a series of insurmountable chasms.

Now, I won't talk to you about those useless things. I have something urgent to tell you. The Young Master has arrived in Liyue! Do you know what this means? This is another plan of the Fatui, and it is an extremely dangerous signal! The Fatui's plan to obtain the Heart of God is about to be fully launched in Liyue. As a pioneer, the Young Master has always been vigorous, bold and ruthless in his actions. Once he arrives, Liyue will definitely be turned upside down and huge variables will appear.

Lin Huan, you must act immediately. There is no time to hesitate. Whether it is to gather your companions or to collect intelligence, you must do it immediately. Time is very tight. Don't have any fluke mentality. If you let the young master take the lead, the situation in Liyue will be completely out of control, and then everything will be over!
