After pondering for a long time on Yujing Terrace, Ying finally stood up and slowly left the place. She walked along the familiar yet unfamiliar streets, still recalling what she had seen and felt before.

However, not long after walking, Ying noticed something was wrong with the road she was walking on. The shops on both sides of the street that should have been bustling with people were now closed and empty. This strangely quiet atmosphere made Ying frown, and a bad feeling rose in her heart.

Weird, why is there no one on the street? Ying looked around, full of doubts. She clearly remembered that when she first came here, there were still people living here, how come it suddenly became so desolate?

At this moment, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded, and then an arrow came straight towards Ying with a biting cold wind. Ying was quick-witted and dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding this sudden attack.

She quickly summoned her weapon and turned to face the attacker. However, when she saw the other person's appearance clearly, Ying was stunned.

It was Ye Lan? !

Ying was even more confused, she didn't understand why Ye Lan suddenly attacked her. But facing this former "companion", Ying didn't immediately fight back. Ying was confused, she didn't know why Ye Lan wanted to attack her, but facing a former companion... uh, that seemed to be an illusion, the two of them were not familiar with each other at all.

But Ying was ultimately unwilling to fight for her life and death with Ningguang's subordinates who were guarding Liyue in the darkness, and she just kept on defending.

During the fight, Ye Lan gradually noticed something unusual about Ying. She found that although she used all her strength to kill every time, Ying never turned from defense to offense. This made her feel a little suspicious.

So, Ye Lan stepped back a few steps and stopped attacking. She drew her bow and gathered her strength, staring at Ying with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You are not her."

"She? Who?" Ying was puzzled.

"who are you?"

"My name is Ying."

"What are you doing in Liyue?"

"I don't know why I suddenly appeared here."

"Then why do you know me?"

“…” Ying pondered for a moment and felt that Ye Lan, as Ningguang’s subordinate, was trustworthy.

Although there is a possibility that she will be used by her, Ying thinks of Qiu Cheng, Xiangling, Hutao, Baizhu, Qiqi, Ningguang, Ganyu, and the people in Liyue Harbor now. Even if she is used, Ye Lan is only doing it for the better of Liyue.

Thinking of this, Ying decided to confess: "I am a traveler, but I am not from this world."

"..."

Ye Lan did not reply. Ying felt a little embarrassed and yelled to him, saying that he was originally from outside the world, so it was not quite accurate to say so.

"Let me put it this way. To you, I come from a parallel world four years ago."

[Huh? You actually confessed.]

Why didn’t you confess before?

[Because for Xiangling and the others, knowing this might only make them feel worse... As for Ye Lan, it doesn't matter. She is trustworthy and must know a lot of information. I actually need someone who knows everything about me. She also wants to know what information this world has about my brother.]

"parallel world?"

"It is another world that is similar to your world but different from yours. I know you. I once ventured into the terrible underground palace of the Layered Rock Abyss with your phantom. I learned that your ancestor Bo Yang and the Thousand Rock Army voluntarily entered the underground palace in order to trap the abyss monster."

Ye Lan was slightly moved: "You actually know about that underground palace?!"

Ying remembered Luo's prophecy. When the white-haired ghosts and the green-haired girl set foot on the land of Liyue, Fushe would have a glimmer of hope...

Since it is Luo's prophecy, even if it is a parallel world, we should abide by its rules?

"Did Inazuma's Arataki Ichito and Kuki Shinobu enter that underground palace?"

Ye Lan's eyes narrowed: "Indeed."

[Frog Fun, there is also this kind of operation]

[As expected of you, I never thought of it anyway]

【Aren’t you just the doge】

"But this doesn't mean anything. Perhaps you just got news about us from somewhere." Ye Lan's words were filled with unquestionable caution. Even though she already had a little trust in Ying in her heart, she would never put this trust into practice easily.

Ying noticed that Ye Lan's hand on the bow and arrow was slightly relaxed, which was a positive sign. She continued to try to recall, trying to find more information that could prove her identity.

"I remember some spells, 'Within the yin and yang, within the five directions. Water, fire, wind and thunder, in endless cycles. Holding the seven stars...' I don't remember much of the rest."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lan frowned, "I used the spell I used to try and unlock the Taiweiyi disk... but that alone is not enough, as you may have learned from Aratake Ichito and Kuki Shinobu," she said with a hint of uncertainty, but she remained vigilant.

In order to further strengthen Ye Lan's trust, Ying continued, "Yan Fei once told us about your past, saying that you had lost a comrade in your previous work, and as a survivor, you felt deeply painful about it, so you particularly didn't want to face the sacrifice of others."

Ye Lan's eyes flickered when she heard this, but she immediately regained her composure. "...Continue."

She responded briefly, saying that although most of her doubts had been dispelled, she still needed more evidence to confirm Ying's identity.

However, Ying had racked her brains but could not think of any information that could further gain Ye Lan's trust. She sighed helplessly and looked at Ye Lan, hoping that the other party would believe her.

"You can say those things about people you know. You know what I do and I can tell." Ye Lan reminded.

Ying looked around and asked, "Is anyone watching around here?"

"...You, are not allowed to listen. Let me talk to her alone." Ye Lan turned around, made a gesture, and said.

Ying could vaguely see the Qianyan Army leaving from the roadside and behind the trees. There really were some.

"So, what do you want to say?"

Ying blinked her eyes. "Zhenjun Liuyunjiefeng really likes to chat. When Ganyu and Shenhe are around, she will definitely mention the dark history of her two disciples. For example, when Ganyu was a child, she was swallowed by a giant monster and choked the monster to death."

"...Okay, I believe what you said."

This is not information that can be easily obtained by asking for information.

【Wang Xiaomei: Are you polite?】

[Persecuted the True Lord Gulu Gulu Rolling Down the Mountain Again]

Ye Lan put down his bow and arrow and walked in front of Ying, but still kept a certain distance.

"If you are a good person, I apologize because this is a necessary measure."

"I don't mind." Ying shook her head and said, "Did you just... mistake me for someone else?"

"It should be you. After all, you just called yourself a traveler from a parallel world."
