Genshin Impact: The Vision of Gods Shines Again

At that time, the Hall of Rebirth was still connected with the Seven Stars of Liyue and became extremely wealthy with their financial support.

The extravagantly wealthy Wangshengtang naturally caught the attention of some people with ulterior motives.

For these desperate criminals, nothing seemed to be off-limits except money. Unable to kidnap the young ladies from prestigious families, they kidnapped this little girl whose parents had just passed away.

Ye Lan, who had just joined the General Affairs Department, took on the task of rescuing the young master of the Rebirth Hall.

But when Ye Lan painstakingly investigated the hideout of those desperate criminals and devised a detailed plan, she discovered that the group of criminals had already been dealt with.

The scarred blond boy led the young master away from their hiding place, and Ye Lan, who was hiding in the shadows, could still see the ancient Hua Sect disciple's robe on the boy's body.

Disciples of martial arts sects went down the mountain for training, and while doing chivalrous deeds, they accidentally stole their own mission. For Ye Lan, this was both expected and unexpected.

Ye Lan knew about the Gu Hua Sect, a small martial arts sect. In order to make their once fierce moves more exquisite, they gradually became flashy but impractical. Impractical things were destined to lead this sect to decline.

However, Yelan never expected that there would be a disciple in the sect who could restore the moves to their former glory, and this disciple was not even from Liyue.

Curiosity aside, Ye Lan didn't pay much attention to this disciple of the Ancient Hua Sect.

In the subsequent missions, Ye Lan always had her missions stolen by Mu Xian.

Thanks to the efforts of this disciple of Guhua, his chivalrous figure could be seen all over Liyue, and the usually busy General Affairs Department became unusually quiet.

But it wasn't until the Guhua Sect disbanded that Ye Lan discovered what Mu Xian had done; before that, it seemed someone had suppressed the news.

Under the control of this mysterious person, the Guhua Sect disappeared. Ye Lan, who was originally only focused on the mission, came to the old site of the Guhua Sect by some strange twist of fate and secretly watched the only figure still in the Guhua Sect.

Of course, besides Mu Xian, Ye Lan also saw Xiao Tail, who was hiding just like herself.

The little tail was cleverly hidden, but it was still slightly inferior to Yelan's.

With just one glance, Ye Lan recognized that Xiao Weiba was the young master of the Rebirth Hall who had been saved by Mu Xian.

Later, the General Affairs Department became busy again, but Ye Lan would still occasionally go to Gu Hua Pai to secretly visit the boy who was still persevering.

Ye Lan had no idea what this was thinking.

Was he just curious to see how long Mu Xian could hold out? Was it merely an appreciation for the young man? Or was he simply playing the victim, secretly watching the little tail with a wicked sense of humor?

Every time Ye Lan appeared at the Ancient Hua Sect, she could always see that little tail carefully hiding in the corner, which always made Ye Lan feel much happier.

Later, during the Lantern Festival one year, the busy Ye Lan finally had some free time, and she suddenly had the idea of ​​inviting Mu Xian to the General Affairs Department.

But when she arrived at the Ancient Hua Sect, her former figure disappeared, and even her little tail vanished.

On the second day of the Lantern Festival, Ye Lan saw Little Tail again in the market. The little master was playing happily with his peers, completely unlike the timid Gu Huapai.

Perhaps out of curiosity, Ye Lan wanted to ask the young hall master Mu Xian where he was, but as soon as the thought arose, the young hall master suddenly panicked and abandoned his companion, hiding in a corner.

That familiar sight immediately made Yelan realize something. She turned around and saw that it was the boy, who was following the renowned Captain Beidou in Liyue.

For a while afterward, Yelan would often see Mu Xian in Liyue. The young man was kind to everyone around him, and he used all the money earned by the fleet to help others. But for some reason, the others around him seemed to dislike Mu Xian.

Over the years, Ye Lan has met many people and interacted with different kinds of people, but she has only met such a pure and kind person once.

Later, Mu Xian was framed as the culprit in the shipwreck, but Ye Lan knew it couldn't be him.

Ye Lan argued with the newly appointed Tianquan Star for the first time, but the Tianquan Star said it was the Rock King Emperor's will.

Because of the Rock King Emperor's orders, Yelan watched helplessly as the innocent and kind boy was wounded by an ice arrow.

Also because of the Rock King Emperor's will, Ye Lan personally shot the boy down from the Cloud Sea.

A few days later, Beidou woke up. The truth about Da Bai should have been revealed to the public, but Qixing covered up the truth for the sake of his reputation, even completely erasing any trace of Mu Xian's existence.

The task of erasing all traces of Mu Xian's existence was handed over to Ye Lan.

Perhaps out of disappointment with the higher-ups in Liyue, or perhaps to atone for her sins against Mu Xian, Ye Lan erased not only any trace of Mu Xian's existence, but also all of her own identity within the General Affairs Department.

Feeling utterly disheartened at having lost her identity, Yelan decided to leave the General Affairs Department and Liyue.

That was how it was supposed to be, until the day he left, when the star Tianquan found Yelan and told her some news...

As her thoughts returned, Ye Lan quietly looked at the boy in front of her. Although it was the same face, his eyes lacked the gentleness that Ye Lan was familiar with; his pupils appeared unusually deep and dark.

Exactly the same, yet completely different.

This unusual feeling made Ye Lan look away.

"The General Affairs Department is investigating. It seems the person I'm looking for isn't here. I'm sorry."

His tone was overly calm, but his words lacked their usual rigor. He casually uttered a few perfunctory words before turning and leaving.

Ye Lan did not leave Bubu Lu. She stood outside Bubu Lu, gazing at Qunyu Pavilion in the sky, constantly playing with the dice in her hand.

The fragrance of plum blossoms made Ye Lan lower her head. Hu Tao was not wearing her usual black long gown; her light blue clothes made the girl feel particularly uncomfortable. Ye Lan almost did not recognize this head of the Hall of Rebirth.

Black represents misfortune and is especially taboo in the eyes of patients at Bubulu.

In the past, this hall master was known for having no taboos, but unexpectedly, one day he would change into this outfit.

Ye Lan found it somewhat amusing, but then thought that they were just two people who looked alike, and that it was a bit too much to care about just their appearance.

But thinking about it, if the real person were here, this hall master would probably lose his usual courage and hide in a corner to secretly watch.

Could it be that I've fallen too deep?

Ye Lan suddenly hesitated, wondering whether she should tell the hall master that Mu Xian was still alive in Daoqi.

After thinking it over again, he shook his head inwardly.

Ye Lan was a little worried about the leader's eccentric personality; he might gossip, or worse, be overheard by the Fools.

There are quite a few Fatui in Liyue. If Yelan could keep it a secret for five years for Muxian's safety, she could keep it a secret for a little longer.

"However, after the matter of the Layered Rock Abyss is over, regardless of whether Tianquan agrees or not, I should go to Inazuma."

Ye Lan made a decision in her heart, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure hurriedly walking into Bu Bu Lu, bumping into Ye Lan's shoulder in the process.

"Sorry," the passerby said in a low voice as he walked past Ye Lan.

Ye Lan watched the figure disappear into Bu Bu Lu, then casually walked to an inconspicuous corner and unfolded the extra crumpled paper in her hand.

The note reads: "After three days of closure, the Jade Pavilion has reopened, and the Heavenly Power Star has resumed its administrative duties."

The back of the note reads: "[The acting leader of Mondstadt went to the Jade Pavilion; the details of their discussion are unknown.]"

The writing appeared on the crumpled paper for a few seconds before disappearing. Ye Lan crumpled the paper into a ball again and hid it in her hand. This place was not suitable for destroying the paper.

Looking up, Ye Lan's eyes sharpened again as she gazed at the Jade Capital Terrace not far away, and slowly descended the stone steps.

The Jade Pavilion has reopened...

Perfect timing! I can ask Tianquanxing what she was doing during the three days that Qunyu Pavilion was closed.

Chapter 13 Tianquan Abuses Power, Shattered Snow Unprovoked

Above Liyue, there are celestial pavilions.

"The Qunyu Pavilion is built on a floating stone base and hangs high above it. Whether it is a house with lights or a landscape of thousands of miles, you can take it all in at a glance."

"But from a distance, you can only get a general idea."

"I know roughly what makes Liyue prosperous, but I also know roughly what makes it a place of hardship beneath the surface."

"I probably know about the unique scenery of Liyue, but I probably don't know how much blood and tears are buried beneath that scenery."

"It's probably not comprehensive, but rather somewhat one-sided."

"If you want a comprehensive experience, you have to personally experience the so-called prosperity of Liyue and its unique scenery."

Looking down at Liyue Harbor, Ningguang turned to the acting Grand Master who had come from afar: "I received the letter, but I never expected that the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius would come in person."

“Everything happens for a reason.”

Qin answered her pen pal meticulously: "There are official matters and some personal matters as well."

Ningguang smiled gently and walked into the Jade Pavilion.

Qin knew this wasn't the place to talk, so she followed Ningguang into the Qunyu Pavilion.

Bai Shi and Bai Wen had prepared a spot for the two of them early on, with steaming hot tea on it.

"The preparations were somewhat abrupt; I hope Director Qin will forgive me."

Ningguang sat down in the main seat and went straight to the point: "The official business that Commander Qin mentioned should be related to the Fools, right?"

"Hmm." Qin nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said, "Tianquan Star may have sensed it too, as the Fools have become increasingly reckless in recent years."

"The dragon plague of Mondstadt, and even the Daedric Prince Osed, the Fatui are behind everything."

"If this continues, who knows what the Winter Kingdom might do to harm the other six kingdoms?"

"Therefore, I hope that Mondstadt can cooperate with Liyue."

As soon as she finished speaking, only the crisp sound of Ningguang's fingers lightly tapping the table remained in the entire Qunyu Pavilion.

Qin waited quietly for Ningguang's answer. She knew that the decision made by Tianquan, who was in the position of the Seven Stars, needed to be made with utmost care.

However, the fact that she did not decisively refuse meant that Tianquan was moved, and even if she refused later, Qin was confident that she could persuade her again.

Qin still remembers that Miss Alice returned to the Knights from the border with a solemn expression and talked with the Grand Master all night. The Grand Master then launched the Great Expedition the next day.

The Great Expedition drew away most of the Knights' core strength, and Jean, as the acting captain, felt an unprecedented test at that moment.

The ever-expanding monsters outside the city, the allure of the Abyss to the East Wind Dragon, and most importantly, the constant pressure from the Fatui, all aimed at seizing power in Mondstadt.

Even with Lisa's help, the series of events still overwhelmed Qin, and seeking cooperation was not a spur-of-the-moment idea, but something she had considered for a long time.

It wasn't until the Dragon of the East returned and the Wind God reappeared that the Fatui shifted their attention to the other five kingdoms, giving Jean a little free time to head to Liyue.

The tapping of fingers stopped, and Qin looked at Ningguang, who had finished her thoughts. Just as she thought Ningguang was about to give her an answer, Qin realized that she was wrong when Ningguang said the next thing.

"Commander Qin, you probably don't know, but I grew up in this port."

"Some people only see Tianquan's current prominence, but they don't know the aspirations of that little girl back then."

“I am not from a prestigious family. I have endured hardship, and from that hardship I have seen what I want, which also destined me for wealth and honor in my later years.”

"Then, Commander, can you give me what I want?"

The aura of the Tianquan star surrounded the zither. This aura was not the condescending pressure of a high-ranking person, but more like the coercion of a hunter towards its prey.

However, Ningguang is from the Tianquan Star, and Qin may not be much weaker than Ningguang, otherwise the eldest daughter of the Gunnhild family would have made a joke of how she trained Qin.

"I wonder what Tianquan Star wants?" Qin looked up and stared directly at Ningguang, her tone neither humble nor arrogant, seemingly without any confrontation, but the sharpness hidden in her eyes could cut a person to pieces.
