The pure and lovely little girl is "Gui Zhong", the rich young lady is "Ge Chen Lang Shi Zhen Jun", and the mature older sister is "Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun"?

On the surface, the one with a youthful feel is Gui Zhong, while the mature older sister is Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun.

Deep down, the seemingly mature and composed Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun is actually like a proud little girl with a strong competitive spirit. Gui Zhong, seemingly lively and adorable, actually possesses the mentality of a mature older sister.

As for why the young lady corresponds to "Ge Chenlang City True Lord", that goes back to a long, long time ago.

The current True Lord of Gechenlang City, using the alias Granny Ping, travels the world. Despite her aged appearance and demeanor, she was once a very beautiful young woman with a similar view on music to that of a wealthy heiress, believing that the soul was paramount. Later events caused her mindset to age, resulting in her aged appearance in her human form.

The story of "Returning to the End" is very long, so I won't go into too much detail here, as everyone should already know it.

Corresponding to the "golden house hidden away" of a little girl, the arrogant Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun is more suitable than Gui Zhong, who looks like a young girl.

The character "Piaomiao Xianyuan" corresponds to a mature older sister, and is more suitable for Guizhong, who has a more mature mindset, than Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, who seems to be a mature older sister.

Zhongli chose the ethereal path of immortality here, which is probably related to the passing of Guizhong...

After everyone left, Zhongli turned and looked up at the Seven Gods statue, then lowered his head and closed his eyes. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the sound of cicadas chirping in the wild made him recall the past.

As night falls, I think of my departed loved ones...

......

The sun had already set, and every household lit candles; even the wealthy lit elemental lamps.

Following Zhongli's directions, the group arrived at Yujingtai to find Granny Ping.

A quick glance revealed an elderly woman with white hair. As I approached, she looked at the "glass lily" before her with a hint of sadness.

"Life is unpredictable, life is unpredictable..."

"What's wrong with you?"

Ying asked with a hint of concern.

This old lady was none other than Granny Ping. Before she could even see who it was, she turned around and began to speak.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just felt it was a shame that so many of the 'Glassy Lilies' had withered."

Most elderly people are lonely, so they are naturally very welcoming when young people come to visit.

Paimon asked curiously, "Why have all these flowers withered?"

Seeing that the curious little elf Paimon was asking questions, Grandma Ping began to explain.

“In my day, people said that ‘glass lilies’ were intelligent and perceptive. If they heard pleasant sounds, like laughter or singing, they would be happy and thrive. But conversely, if they heard too many unpleasant sounds, like gossip and rumors, they would wither very quickly.”

"...So, these flowers have sensed the current situation in Liyue Harbor too."

"Yes, the rumors surrounding the death of the Rock King Emperor are no small matter. Everyone's talking about it in the streets and alleys. Some say it's a conspiracy by the Fools, some say the 'thing in the sea' is about to collapse, and others say it's all a staged event by the Seven Stars themselves... This port is like a pile of tinder. Just one spark and the fire will be uncontrollable."

Grandma Ping's gaze lingered on Huiyuan for a moment, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

(The Emperor? No... this celestial aura... doesn't seem like the Emperor. It must be Liu Yunjifeng's newly accepted disciple...) Granny Ping thought to herself, and sighed.

"Sigh, let's stop here. This old woman is getting on in years and just likes to nag... Young people, what can I do for you?"

Ying was listening intently when Grandma Ping mentioned it, reminding her of the important matter she needed to attend to.

Coming to her senses, Ying spoke up: "I wanted to borrow something from you..."

"Things? Oh...you've come to borrow the 'Dust-Cleansing Bell,' haven't you young people? Besides this old item, I don't have anything else worth asking for. But this bell wasn't originally mine; it was a little trinket worn by an old friend. When I was young, I loved being pretty and adored that bell, so I kept pestering her...she couldn't resist, so she gave it to me. But she told me that if anyone came to borrow it in the future, I couldn't be reluctant. Over the years, this bell has been borrowed countless times. But, I don't know when it started, it's been a long time since anyone has come to borrow this bell..."

Grandma Ping sighed.

"My old body is slow at finding things; you probably can't wait..."

Ying's lips curled up slightly, and she became proud.

“I learned how to find things from the Knights of Favonius.”

Paimon, as always, started complaining.

"Hmm... I suddenly feel proud in an unexpected way?!"

Seeing that the situation was turning into a defensive posture, Grandma Ping interrupted Paimeng.

"Alright, kids, I didn't put that bell very far away, so don't worry about it too much."

"Huh? Grandma, is your house nearby? Wow... this is Yujingtai! They're so rich..."

Seeing that Paimon had misunderstood, Grandma Ping burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, this old woman can't afford a house in the city—look at this pot, all my belongings are kept in it."

Paimon looked at the pot with a puzzled expression. Although he had seen Huiyuan's Chenge Pot before, its appearance and style were quite different, and since Granny Ping looked like an ordinary person, he didn't think of it as the Chenge Pot.

Yingbi was smarter than Paimon and immediately thought of Huiyuan's Dust Song Pot. Seeing that Paimon was still puzzled, she said with a wicked smile, "Paimon, go inside the pot and take a look."

"I can't get in! There's no way I can get in! And why would you want me to get in? Why not just lift the lid and take a look?!"

"Hahaha... Children, the bell is in this pot. If you want to find it, go and look for it yourselves."

Huiyuan chuckled to herself, walked to the table, and picked up the Dust Song Pot.

"Paimon, does anything remind you of anything?"

"Remember what?"

Seeing Huiyuan's strange behavior, Paimon suddenly remembered when he entered Huiyuan's Dust Song Pot before. Because the pots looked very different, Paimon didn't make the connection until Huiyuan picked up the pot.

Grandma Ping's teapot has a lotus pattern and is larger in size, but it looks a bit old, like an antique.

Huiyuan activated the Dust Song Pot just as she had done before. Granny Ping's Dust Song Pot emitted a magical aura, enveloping Paimon and Yingmei. The next second, the two vanished from their spots, sucked into the pot.
