Original God Zhongli BG Xiao Qinglong traveled through time

Chapter 280 Frankness

Immortal Deer Xueyue Zhuyang Zhenjun turned around lightly, walked slowly to Lin Huan's side, and asked softly: "Aren't you going to show up and meet them?"

Lin Huan lowered his head slightly, and after a moment's silence, he slowly raised his eyes and replied softly: "Business is more important. Although I am concerned about you, I still have more important matters to deal with. I am already satisfied to be able to see you from afar."

Suddenly, someone touched her head hard. Lin Huan looked back pitifully, and saw a very gentle smile on the face of Master Lishui. He said softly, "Silly girl, you know in your heart how the Emperor loves you. For so many years, he has shouldered heavy responsibilities, but he has never forgotten you. We all saw that you care about each other and have walked through the long years hand in hand. Now that he has unloaded his heavy burden and walks in the world as a mortal, he has enough time and is looking forward to your company. Although you have suppressed your concerns because of your work, isn't he silently paying attention to you? The Emperor's feelings are like that quiet lake, deep and implicit. You should be brave and don't let down this deep affection. When you finish your work, go meet the Emperor, don't let your thoughts hang in vain."

After hearing what Master Lishui Dieshan said, Lin Huan's cheeks flushed. He pursed his lips and nodded after a long while. He said softly, "Master, I understand. I have never regretted your companionship over the years. Even though I am busy with work now, I still have a place for you in my heart. After this matter is settled, I will go find him and stay by his side."

Hearing Lin Huan's answer, Master Lishui Dieshan showed a relieved smile on his face. He gently patted Lin Huan's shoulder and said, "Girl, it's good that you think so. I think the Emperor knows your feelings and will be looking forward to your return. Don't worry."

After the conversation, everyone quieted down, still hiding in their original places, quietly watching the gentleman, the traveler lady, and the small floating object being teased by the trickster flower disguised as a glass lily. Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Then, Ganyu quietly emerged like a peaceful blue shadow. With a gentle smile on her face, she talked softly with the traveler and Mr. Zhongli, and finally handed the wild glass lily in her hand to them. The scene was peaceful and harmonious, like a beautiful painting slowly unfolding. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves and sprinkled on Ganyu, adding a soft halo to her.

During this time, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng slightly raised his head, with a look of surprise in his eyes, and asked the person beside him, "Huh? Ganyu didn't know the identity of the Emperor when he was incarnated as a mortal? Ah Huan, you were in the city with her, why didn't you explain it to her?"

Xiao, who was standing by, looked calm, his eyes were like deep lake water, calm and without waves. He slowly said, "When the Emperor was in trouble, Ah Huan was not in the city. At that time, she was at Wangshu Inn with me, enjoying the wind and chatting, and enjoying that moment of tranquility. Later, I thought that girl must have known something a long time ago, so she sneaked out to find me!"

Xiao glanced indifferently at the pitiful gaze of someone standing beside him, begging for mercy like a little animal, snorted softly, and continued.

"Then, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse and became extremely urgent. Ah Huan had to rush back and forth between the city and outside. As for the identity of the Emperor, she was like a cicada in fear and did not dare to mention it easily. Perhaps, under this tense situation, she has never had the time to go to Yujingtai to explain the truth to Ganyu. After all, many affairs have come one after another, and the Fatui's spies are everywhere in the city. She is really unable to split her time in the city and cannot act rashly." Xiao frowned slightly, his voice cold with a hint of imperceptible concern.

After saying this, Xiao turned around slightly, his figure was as tall and straight as a pine or cypress, his sleeves fluttering in the wind. His voice was still cold: "Time is not meant to be wasted like this, I'll go first and wait for you at Wangshu Inn." After saying this, he left as quickly as a flash of lightning, leaving only a blurry back that gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

“So that’s how it is…” True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang nodded slightly, “Ah Huan’s style of handling things with the overall situation in mind is indeed extremely cautious…”

"No..." Lin Huan shook his head. "I am indeed cautious. I dare not disrupt Sir's layout and do not want Sir's plan to fail. But at the same time, I am also extremely conservative. I only want things to develop in the direction of the plan. I dare not... I dare not use the slightest variable to make the situation different... I know Sir can cover the bottom line, but I don't want him to worry too much... Master, do you think I haven't done well enough and have not met Sir's expectations?"

True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang nodded gently, his tone calm but serious: "Ah Huan, your caution is commendable, but in this game that concerns the future, we also need to be decisive and resolute at the right time. The Emperor's plan requires our wisdom and courage. Your conservatism is based on considerations for the overall situation, but sometimes you also need some adventurous spirit and some confidence in yourself."

Lin Huan nodded slightly, her voice firm: "Master Xueyue Zhuyang, I will remember your advice in my heart. I understand that sometimes we have to make bold choices for the sake of a bigger picture. I will be more careful in balancing caution and decisiveness in my future actions."

Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun smiled, and his words were encouraging: "Good boy, your sense of responsibility and loyalty to the Emperor's plan are our common wealth. But when necessary, we also hope that you can show more flexibility. Your decision-making does not always have to be limited to being conservative. Sometimes a bold step may bring unexpected turns."

Master Liuyun Jiefeng added in a gentle tone: "Ah Huan, we all understand your concerns, but as immortals, we should have a vision beyond the current situation. The emperor's expectation is not only your steadiness, but also your ability to exert greater potential at critical moments. Your abilities should be used on a broader stage."

Lin Huan took a deep breath and said, "Thank you all for your guidance. I will re-examine my actions and decisions. I promise not to let the conservatism of the past limit my future. For Liyue Harbor, I will find a better balance and make wiser choices."

After a pause, Lin Huan spoke in a low voice, telling the elders everything he knew and thought.

"I think the elders have already understood the Emperor's thoughts, so I will not say more. Now the main focus is on the actions of the Fatui, the copying of the Hundred Taboos Talisman, and the young master's tricks." Lin Huan said in a deep voice.

"I have already noticed the incident at the Yanshang Teahouse. I think the same is true for the Liyue Seven Stars. I believe the Seven Stars have already made preparations for this. But we must be on guard against the young master's extra actions."

“If that’s the case…” True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang frowned and said in a deep voice, “Young Master’s actions must be to force the Emperor to show up. But if ordinary actions don’t work, then his ultimate goal is to drag the entire Liyue Port into the game and take the gamble with him!”

"The Hundred Taboos Talisman, Master's back-up plan..." Liu Yun said solemnly, "Let's go... Let's go directly to Liyue Harbor... We still need to meet with the Seven Stars, not just to call them to account! At the same time, there are some matters that we still need to communicate with the Liyue Seven Stars. This is not the time to act rashly!"

Just as everyone turned around and prepared to leave, a familiar and light voice came quietly from behind, with an extremely gentle tone: "Master, Ah Huan, why are you here?"

Master Liuyunjiefeng's expression froze for a moment, then he laughed dryly and said, "Ahahaha...are you guys done talking now? We were originally on our way to Liyue Harbor, but on the way we saw the traveler who had come to Jueyunjian to deliver a message and the Emperor of Wangsheng Hall...er, ahem...that guest official Zhongli talking here. Ah Huan was curious, so we stopped with her to take a look. Ganyu, why are you here too?"

Gan Yu nodded slightly, her expression calm as water, and slowly said: "I have been feeling troubled recently, so I came out to relax. I happened to meet the traveler and the guest official Zhongli. I never thought I would meet all the elders here as well."

Lishui Zhenjun quickly replied, "Alas, since we all happen to be here, it can be considered fate. But we still have important things to do, so we won't stay any longer. Let's go first, let's go first."

Immortal Deer Xueyue Zhuyang Zhenjun also echoed, "Right, right, right, business is more important, let's set off now. Ah Huan, Ganyu is usually busy with official duties, so I'm sure she doesn't know much about what's going to happen next. You stay here for the time being and explain everything to Ganyu in detail. We'll go first and meet up at Liyue Harbor later."

With that, several True Lords left in a hurry, leaving Lin Huan standing there, looking in the direction they left, feeling confused and helpless.
