"However, Qiu Nian, you are already seriously injured. They are investigating you and may do something bad to you."
Ying shook her head, then looked at Qiu Nian in front of her and began to explain.
"Ha ha..."
"Don't worry, I've regained some of my strength, so I shouldn't encounter any danger."
Qiu Nian chuckled softly upon hearing this, and then spoke to Ying.
[His power seems to be gradually returning, not much, but enough to instantly destroy a fragment of Ruoda's power.]
So, to what extent has his power recovered? Can he still defeat the young master with a single finger?
[Young Master: This part is insurmountable, isn't it?]
I feel that Yingmei shouldn't be worried about her wealthy son-in-law, but rather about the flight attendant (facepalm)
"All right..."
"Now that you say so."
Ying could only nod after hearing Qiu Nian's answer.
"After all, Qiu Nian has existed for more than 6,000 years, while the Abyss Order is only an organization established a few hundred years ago."
"Qiu Nian only returned to Liyue recently, so it seems that the Abyss Order is indeed not doing anything wrong."
Paimon looked at Ying beside him and spread out his little hands.
Moreover, a god who has existed for so long.
There's no need for them to worry about it, is there?
[That's not right. If Qiu Nian doesn't know about the Abyss Order, then how does he know about the darkness that engulfed all of Teyvat and the events of Kanria five hundred years ago?]
[That's easy, the Emperor told his son-in-law.]
But the Emperor clearly stated that he had a contract to keep this matter a secret!
Keeping this a secret from Ying does not mean keeping it a secret from your son-in-law.
"You seem to be getting more and more knowledgeable about the world."
Zhongli looked at Ying in front of him and waved his hand as he spoke.
"There are still many stories and secrets on this continent."
"They have been forgotten or abandoned for too long."
"If it were you, you should be able to find them and pick them up."
"Witnesses come to bear witness."
"Ming Journalist, born to remember."
Zhongli looked at Ying in front of him and continued speaking.
"There may be more difficulties on your way to that person."
"But as long as you firmly believe that this path leads to the right one, everything makes sense."
After Zhongli finished speaking, Ying looked at the moon hanging in the starry sky.
In her heart, she also remembered what her brother had said to her.
"We will meet again."
"But not here..."
"See you at the end of the journey, to witness the sedimentation of all things."
At this moment, the screen of the snowflake also showed the scene of the completion of the second act of the Ancient Tales.
Meanwhile, Snowflake, controlling Firefly, began to speak with Zhongli.
"This stele was erected by the True Lord of Dieshan and Lishui".
"The inscription refers to Ruoduo as an evil dragon, which is to remind future generations to stay away from this seal."
"pity..."
"Good and evil are separated by a fine line. If his good and evil are things that can be easily explained, then so be it."
Zhongli crossed his arms over his chest, looked at the stone tablet in front of him, and slowly spoke to Ying and Paimon.
Upon hearing this, Ying quietly gazed at Zhongli under the tree.
In the silence, only the rustling of the wind could be heard.
Time seems to flow silently past me like an invisible river...
A fleeting moment in time, yet a thousand years in the human world.
Rocks have hearts, as do the earth and the gods.
After that, Xuehua looked at Qiu Nian, who was standing by the stream not far away, and ran over to talk to him.
"Morax and I haven't been back to the sanctuary for several days."
"Although Qianyan Army and Lao Dai communicated with the hall master, they still failed in their duty."
“Once Morax’s recollection is over, the two of us will return together.”
Qiu Nian turned around, looked at Ying and Paimon in front of her, and spoke.
[Hu Tao: Where are my retainers?]
"Qiu Nian, your divine power has recovered somewhat."
"Now that we've found a way to get to Inazuma, do we still need to send you letters?"
Ying looked at Qiu Nian in front of her and asked.
"My strength has recovered somewhat."
"But it still wasn't enough to support me flying over such distant seas."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian replied in a serious tone.
"Okay, we understand."
Paimon looked at Qiu Nian in front of him and nodded with a smile.
Why do I keep getting the feeling that my son-in-law is spouting nonsense with a straight face?
[Actually, that's not necessarily true. Inazuma hasn't opened yet, so it might be really far away.]
It seems that this is indeed a possibility.
And so the conversation ended, leaving Xuehua with a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings).
The aftereffects of the legendary quest haven't subsided yet.
She manipulated Ying, running back and forth between Zhongli and Qiu Nian.
Chapter 137, Version 1.6 PV
The next morning, Qiu Nian and Zhong Li returned to Liyue Harbor.
They did not return to the ancestral hall immediately.
Instead, they went to a restaurant, and after finishing their meal, the two headed towards the Hall of Rebirth.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the Rebirth Hall, Qiu Nian pushed open the door and went inside.
Zhongli followed closely behind.
At this moment, only Hu Tao and Yi Guan Xiao Mei were in the hall.
The young ceremonial attendants have already gone to work.
Walnut was holding a pen and writing something with a proper posture.
At this moment, the window inside the hall was open, and a spring breeze blew in, ruffling the girl's hair.
"Oh, my two guest retainers are back!"
Hu Tao looked at Qiu Nian and Zhong Li as they entered, put down her pen, stood up, and said with a smile.
"Why is the hall master so happy?"
Zhongli looked at the smiling Hu Tao and waved his hand, asking.
"You've done a great thing."
"Of course I'm happy."
Upon hearing this, Hu Tao put her hands on her waist and smiled at Qiu Nian and Zhong Li.
"Mr. Qiu Nian, Mr. Zhong Li, you don't know this yet, do you?"
“Yesterday evening, the missing Qianyan soldiers and miners, along with their families, came to Wangshengtang to give Mora and gifts.”
"I kept praising you and the hall master, and the hall master was very happy at the time."
Yi Guan Xiao Mei looked at Qiu Nian and Zhong Li not far away and explained with a smile.
"Not bad."
"But don't go that far next time."
"Even if we have to travel that far, we should hire a few adventurers to go with us. Our own safety is the most important thing."
Hu Tao nodded, then reminded Qiu Nian and Zhong Li.
"Please rest assured on this point, Master."
"With that famous traveler around, we are naturally in no danger."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian looked at Hu Tao sitting behind the table and chuckled.
"Traveler, I heard about it from Old Dai of Huishan Hall."
"Could this be the traveler I'm thinking of?"
"What a coincidence."
