No matter how hard he practiced swordsmanship, he was always the most conspicuous underachiever.
—But why...?
In a hasty move, Kaiya used the West Wind Sword to block Mu Xian's attack, and the force transmitted from the sword caught Kaiya completely off guard.
If it weren't for the handguard on the hilt, the immense force could very well have caused Kaiya to drop the sword from his hand.
Mu Xian's formidable strength gradually made Kaiya realize some things.
The Mu Xian in front of me is no longer the Mu Xian I know.
Twelve years is more than the time he lived in Mondstadt, enough time for him to become a different person.
They became cold, aloof, and powerful.
-but...
The head that had been blocking Kaiya's unfriendly gaze was quickly lifted, revealing his previous cheerful smile again.
"But I still prefer the old guy..."
Despite the intense heat of the fire element, frost slowly condensed on Kaeya's sword.
"I'm sorry...both before and now."
The sudden appearance of ice spikes forced Mu Xian back, and Kaiya, his smile gone, revealed his fighting spirit.
The sharpness displayed was not overwhelming, and there was even some hesitation.
After all, the person in front of him wasn't one of those monsters that would make Kaeya act ruthlessly.
After all, Kaeya had sworn not to lay a hand on the person in front of him again...
The tip of the West Wind Sword made a slicing sound as it cut through the air, and Kaeya held it upright in front of him.
"This could be considered a breach of oath..."
"But Amber really needs you."
"If it were the old you, you would definitely forgive me."
As he spoke, Kaiya gave a wry smile.
The next second, the ice shards and flames collided.
The frost melts into water, but before the liquid can reach the ground, it evaporates back into vapor.
Sparks flew as the blade scraped against the scabbard, and Kaeya quickly found himself at a disadvantage.
The end of the sword sheath struck Kaeya, and he fell directly to the ground.
Kaiya laughed at his disheveled appearance.
"Thank you."
Kaiya smiled from the bottom of her heart, after all, this made her feel much less guilty.
He looked at Mu Xian, who was staring at him coldly, and finally said what he needed to say.
"Mond isn't as bad as you think."
"Qin, your mother, and Yura..."
"Although it might seem a little awkward, they truly love you..."
"Oh, and Amber too."
"She didn't do anything wrong."
"She told me why she stood me up that day."
"That day, the appearance of the band of thieves prevented everyone from going out."
"She always thought you knew about it too, and that you definitely wouldn't go out..."
Kaiya's words caused Mu Xian's actions to change somewhat.
For example, the scabbard he swung at Kaeya was stuck into the ground.
Of course, Mu Xian's eyes remained as cold as ever.
"Perhaps you haven't figured out some things."
Mu Xian's indifferent gaze stirred a sense of unease within Kaiya.
In his panic, Mu Xian slowly spoke.
"I have never harbored any hatred towards you from beginning to end."
"I'm just fed up with these things."
"And you are annoyed by all of this."
"The so-called misunderstanding... is nothing more than you wanting to tell me about your care and love for me."
“But I’ve never experienced these things before, and I don’t need them now.”
As he spoke, Mu Xian slowly shifted his gaze away.
"do you know?"
"People can grow and adapt..."
"At first, people always feel uncomfortable when they lack something."
"But he'll get used to it eventually and won't need it anymore."
As darkness fell, Mu Xian suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at the large tree not far away.
"Care and love..."
After pondering these two words, Mu Xian continued, "Perhaps I haven't grown to that point yet."
"But all I see in your concern is things that annoy me."
"If this kind of thing could happen in the past, I don't think it won't happen in the future."
“In the past, I might have been able to tolerate it because I had feelings for you.”
"But feelings can suddenly disappear."
"But for me now..."
"Your concern is just superfluous, even annoying."
"so..."
"Stay away from me, or I don't know what I might do."
Thanks to Hu Tao, Mu Xian, who was in a good mood, talked a lot.
This is what I truly think.
Mu Xian pulled the silent man from the ground and gave Kaiya one last look.
At this moment, only loneliness remained in Kaiya's eyes.
"So that's what you think."
"If I said I could guarantee that this would never happen...would you believe me?"
Mu Xian didn't say anything, because even Kaiya himself probably didn't believe what he said.
He had previously made many promises to Mu Xian.
In the end, all Mu Xian was left with was an "I'm sorry."
Mu Xian quickly shifted his gaze from Kaiya and turned to look in the direction of Sumeru City.
There stood someone who had met Mu Xian once before.
That combination of Beidou and Xinyan.
Mu Xian remembered her name.
—It seems to be called... Dina Zede?
Chapter 147 The Story of a Friend
"The Evil Eye is no good thing."
Kaiya's voice came from behind Mu Xian, and it was noticeably weaker.
"Throw it away..."
However, these words did not elicit much action from Mu Xian, nor did he heed them at all.
He glanced at the figure not far away, who seemed somewhat embarrassed...
The battle that had been taking place not far away had attracted Dixia's attention.
She came here out of curiosity and seemed to have witnessed some of other people's privacy.
"I just happened to be passing by here."
Dixia had met Mu Xian before, and gave him an awkward smile: "I didn't hear a word you said before."
Mu Xian did not answer and walked straight toward Dixia.
The approaching Mu Xian made Dixia wary.
Moreover, as they got closer, the wary expression on Dixia's face became more and more obvious.
Having spent so many years in the Gilded Troupe, besides her own strength, Desia is also extra careful about certain things.
The previous battle made Dixia realize Mu Xian's strength, and his overwhelming power was enough to make Dixia deal with him with caution.
Soon, Mu Xian walked up to Dixia.
Soon after, Mu Xian's figure passed by Dixia.
Their steps did not falter or quicken at all.
This sight startled Dixia.
She turned to look at Mu Xian.
