Chapter 348 I Have a Flower

Two days ago, the glazed tiles of Yujing Terrace glowed with a cool and dim light under the caress of the setting sun, and the copper bells on the eaves seemed to be plucked by invisible hands, making crisp sounds without wind. Lin Huan stood quietly by the railing, his eyes falling on a glazed lily that was growing tenaciously in the crack of the steps beside him. In an instant, memories of more than 400 years ago came flooding back like a tide - a certain brother always liked to hide almond candies here, just to make her and the naughty little kid in his family happy. Now, the candy wrappers have long turned into dust and disappeared, only the shadows and fragrance of the flowers are still the same as before, and have not changed.

"Senior Lin Huan." Ye Lan's voice came from behind. The talisman wrapped with golden thread on her fingertips was slowly turning into ashes. "Qun Yu Pavilion has observed the ground veins around Cui Jue Slope moving abnormally. Ning Guang is waiting for you to go and solve the mystery."

Lin Huan slowly raised her eyes, and at that moment, a drop of dew from the glass lily in the bottle quietly fell on her eyelashes. At this moment, high up in the Jade Pavilion, she saw Ningguang sitting in front of the table from afar, with the miniature model of the Jade Pavilion slowly turning in her palm, and her fragmented reflection was reflected on each floating stone.

"The seal deep in the earth vein has changed." Lin Huan tapped the table lightly, and the jade beads in his sleeves made a crackling sound. "Within three days, Miss Tianquan, please evacuate all residents within 30 miles around Cuijue Slope to avoid a war that would hurt innocent people."

Ningguang's golden bracelet suddenly stuck to the model's mortise and tenon joints, and her movements were filled with solemnity and shock: "Senior, do you know how many eyes will be alarmed by such a big commotion?"

"I know." Lin Huan's fingertips gently brushed across the files on the desk. The annotations of the Battle of Layer Rock four hundred years ago seemed to still be stained with mottled blood. "So I came to ask for a transfer order - the Thousand Rock Army only needs to block the perimeter, and I will go to the core of the formation alone."

Ye Lan's life-gathering thread suddenly wrapped around the beads on her wrist like a spirit snake, and her voice was filled with concern and worry: "Of the twenty-seven jades on your wrist, twenty-six have cracked."

In the twilight, the glass lily seemed to sense something and suddenly closed.

“When the last jade bead breaks…” Lin Huan gently pulled back his hand, and the beads made a crisp sound like the sound of bones breaking. “You two should know the harm that the pollution of the abyss will bring to normal people… At that time, please take action, and don’t consider our past friendship. The safety of the people should be the most important thing.”

Ningguang stood up suddenly after hearing this, and the model of the Jade Pavilion knocked over the teacup. The amber tea spread freely on the "Liyue Earth Vein Research", just like the chaotic mood of everyone at the moment.

"You are seeking death. I know what is under the seal! You should know that I know!" Ye Lan's talisman ignited with blue flames, and her words were full of anxiety and confusion, "But things have not come to this point yet, why don't you consider it first..."

"You mean the honorable knight who solved the disaster of the wind dragon in Mondstadt?" Lin Huan stood up, walked to the window, opened the window and took in all the familiar scenery outside. With a faint smile on her lips, she slowly opened her lips, "Miss Ye Lan, would you be willing to let your friend drink a poison with unknown consequences and unknown dangers for you?"

Lin Huan lowered his eyes slightly and sighed softly: "I can't bear it. Even if she has done similar things for Tevarin in Mond... I don't want her to bear unknown risks for me. This is my basic responsibility as a party and as a friend."

The copper bells on the eaves suddenly rang, startling a group of white pigeons that flapped their wings and flew into the sky. Lin Huan's shadow was infinitely elongated by the setting sun, and in a trance it seemed as if a dragon's tail was lightly sweeping across Yujing Terrace.

When the dusk swallowed up the last ray of skylight, Lin Huan's shadow had faded into smoke. Ye Lan's life-thread passed through her increasingly transparent body in vain, only rolling up a handful of dust with starlight.

“If we fail this time, the Abyss Cult will have to make another move to shake the Sky Throne…” Ningguang tightly grasped the model of the Jade Pavilion, her voice full of worry and reluctance, “Are you serious…”

“But I also believe that the children of Liyue will not allow me to become the second Ruotu Dragon King.” Lin Huan’s shadow of dragon horns slowly appeared under the setting sun, revealing a warm glow, and holding a piece of glass lily petal. “When this flower blooms, please tell the young master and guest officials of the Rebirth Hall... Tell them not to worry, I have just turned into another Rebirth Disc... to take in more lost ghosts…”

Her figure and the last part of her voice disappeared in the sudden drizzle. Ye Lan chased to the eaves, only to catch a scale with star patterns on it that looked like tear marks.

“What to tell the child?” Ningguang asked.

"Just say..." Ye Lan stroked her reverse scale and smiled softly, "Say the almond candy is hidden in the old place, and ask her to look for it in the direction of her memory."

As she spoke, Ye Lan clenched the scales in her palm, then slowly loosened them after a long time, and casually threw them on Ning Guang's desk. Ye Lan's slightly hoarse laughter was heard in the wind, "It's just to coax a child... I'm already this old..."

The model of the Jade Pavilion crashed to the ground, and heavy rain washed over the earth vein totem. At a certain moment, Ningguang seemed to hear a dragon roar coming from the depths of the rock abyss, as gentle as the tune a brother plays to lull his sister to sleep.

And among the broken walls and ruins of Cuijue Slope a hundred miles away, a jade sword was slowly penetrating seven inches into the dragon's body.
