Genshin Impact: After entering the card pool, I kicked away the knife and stabbed myself

"It's still there, but maybe what he loves is no longer there."

"why……"

Ying only had time to say two words of her question before she paused, as if a flash of inspiration passed through her mind, making her understand something.

"Ah, is that so?"

"It seems you have already thought of the answer."

Ying nodded. The reason why Zhongli liked it was just to listen to stories, but listening to stories also requires storytellers. If the storytellers of the past are no longer around...

[Tian Tiezui is gone too]

[It seems that the black-hearted boss is still there, but the good guy is gone]

[Black-hearted boss? ]

[The boss of Three Bowls is not enough for Hong Kong is so black-hearted that he asked his employees to cut corners on the wine they served, and he even used PUA]

"Where is Liu Su, the tea master of Heyu Tea House? I don't think I've seen him either."

Ying's eyes searched the bustling Heyu Teahouse. Yun Jin's performance had just ended and the stage had returned to silence, but Ying did not find Liu Su in the familiar corner. Thinking of the tragedy that Tian Tiezui had encountered, Ying could not help but feel curious and worried about Liu Su's current situation.

Ying remembered that she once ran errands for Liu Su. At that time, he always said with a smile, "I'm in the teahouse every day, you can come to see me anytime." That confidence and stability seemed to be his normal state.

However, things are changing so fast these days, and Ying couldn't help but wonder if Liu Su was also delayed because of something, or...

“Didn’t survive.”

"It's true... things have changed."

Ying sighed softly, looking out the window at the setting sun, the afterglow of which sprinkled on the window lattice of the teahouse, reflecting a golden color, but also with a bit of loneliness. A faint sadness rippled in Ying's heart, and she seemed to be able to feel the impermanence and changes of this world.

Ying wanted to ask Ye Lan how many of the people she knew before were still alive and how many had passed away. However, when the words came to her lips, she gave up. She felt that she might not be strong enough to face these possible answers.

Even though Ying clearly knew that everyone in her world was doing well and busy and happy in their own lives, it was precisely because of this sharp contrast that the current situation of her friends in this world, who were similar but different, made Ying feel even more sad and powerless.

[In fact, I think Chongyun should be the one who has been killed. After all, he and Xingqiu basically appeared together, but now he is completely gone.]

[Yaoyao, Xiangling's junior sister who hasn't appeared yet, is said to be in Chenyu Valley. She's so far away that she definitely won't be able to come to Liyue Harbor in time.]

[Even if all the immortals are not dead, at least more than half of them are dead.]

[Especially Xiao, right? This knife is perfect.]

[Wow, don’t do that kind of thing.]

"Then do you still want to go?"

Ying shook her head: "I have an appointment with Xiangling to have dinner together tonight, so I won't go to Sanwanbukong."

"It's almost time, so you should go to Wanmin Hall."

"Aren't you coming together?"

Ye Lan smiled and said, "Master Mao and Xiang Ling want to treat you, so I won't join in the fun. I will come to you when the time is right."

Ying nodded, stood up silently, walked out of the Heyu Teahouse, and blended into the bustling crowd. Ying knew that no matter what the world was like, she had to face it bravely, because this was the trouble she had caused, and it was also her responsibility.

The Wanmin Hall was filled with fragrance and was bustling with activity.

"Welcome back! Shall I start cooking now?" Xiangling walked into the kitchen excitedly, her eyes sparkling with love for cooking.

"Okay~" Ying responded with a smile, looking forward to the delicious food she was about to taste.

Seeing this, Chef Mao nodded with satisfaction and took the initiative to give up the kitchen to Xiangling. He had already prepared enough spicy meat steamed bread to ensure that the supply of ingredients next door would not be interrupted while Xiangling was cooking. At this moment, he was free, so he invited Yingtong to sit at the same table and chat about family matters.

"Oh, Xiangling's cooking skills surpassed mine ten years ago. I am very proud to have such a talented daughter." Master Mao's face was full of pride, and his words revealed his deep love for Xiangling.

"She has been feeling a little depressed recently, and I was worried that she would no longer like cooking. Fortunately, you are here." Master Mao changed the subject and said with a little worry.

Ying laughed when she heard this and consoled him, "It's not that exaggerated. Even without me, Xiangling will be able to get over it quickly. Her love for cooking is not something that can be easily changed."

Upon hearing this, Master Mao smiled, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He turned to look at Ying and asked tentatively, "My friend, I see that you have an extraordinary temperament. I guess you also know the identity of Xiangling's master, right?"

"Extraordinary temperament???" Ying was stunned when she heard this. This was the first time someone called her that. She secretly wondered in her heart, Master Mao, why did you suddenly become so polite? However, she still nodded politely and replied, "Master Mao also knows? Ah Ping is the True Lord of Gechenlang City."

A Ping???

Master Mao didn't show any emotion when he heard this, but he was actually in a state of panic. He didn't expect Ying to call Grandma Ping "A Ping" so affectionately. Could it be that Xiangling's good friend was also an immortal?

Master Mao speculated secretly in his heart, looking back and forth at Ying, trying to find a trace of immortal aura. However, Ying looked no different from an ordinary person, which made him even more confused. Could it be that Ying was a good friend of Grandma Ping, and came here specifically to look after Xiangling?

【Hahahaha】

[Why not? Anyway, my age is almost the same as that of an immortal.]

[But we are indeed very familiar with the immortals, and the A Ping in our place is not usually the incarnation of an old lady. The A Ping here is still in the form of an old lady because Gui Zhong is not here.]

"This, this is it."

Master Mao tried his best to treat Ying with a normal attitude. He originally wanted to talk to Ying about the current situation of the immortals. After all, the black tide was so terrible, and Grandma Ping also took away Guoba, the companion who had been with Xiangling for so long.

Master Mao knew that although Grandma Ping had never clearly stated her identity as an immortal, the temperament she inadvertently revealed when she took Guoba away in that emergency was enough for Master Mao to discern her true identity. Guoba's true identity was thus confirmed.

Recalling the various peculiarities of Guoba, Master Mao couldn't help but sigh, where else in the land of Liyue could one find a little bear as unique as Guoba?

Especially on the day of the Moon Festival, the appearance of the rice crust is so strikingly similar to the statue of the Kitchen God that this coincidence is really hard to ignore.

It’s a pity that his daughter Xiangling, an innocent girl whose mind was filled with only food, never noticed these subtle clues.

But the immortals and the Thousand Rocks Army were fighting on the front lines against the Black Tide, and the casualties must have been heavy. Only one in ten of the Thousand Rocks Army survived, and even the Emperor...

Master Mao knew that Xiangling’s master and Guoba would most likely never come back, but he still wanted to find out.

【Deep Fatherly Love】

[There are so many twists and turns in entertaining guests]

[So now it can be said that both Ping and Guoba have sacrificed themselves.]

[But Xiangling will know it sooner or later, alas]

[You can hide it for a while, but not forever]

It turns out that the Ying in front of him is most likely an immortal...

Master Mao was a little hesitant.

It would be better to say that Ying, who is suspected to be an immortal, is at least someone who is very familiar with immortals. The fact that he came to Wanmin Hall specifically to find Xiangling is enough to explain a lot.
