Genshin Impact: The Vision of Gods Shines Again

"Thank you, Qiqi."

Mu Xian opened his mouth, wanting to smile at Qi Qi.

But how should we laugh at this moment?

Mu Xian didn't know, so he could only lower his tone and say, "I really like coconut milk."

"Coconut milk~, so delicious~"

"Big Sparrow likes it~, and I like it too~"

For some reason, Mu Xian wanted to pat Qi Qi's head.

After glancing at the little hat that she had to look up to see, Mu Xian then pinched Qi Qi's little face.

"Hey~" Mu Xian's actions puzzled Qi Qi.

"Just like Qiqi said, the tuanque is soft."

The questioning Qi Qi evoked a strange feeling in Mu Xian's heart, prompting him to explain, "Qi Qi is also soft."

As he spoke, Mu Xian released his grip on Qi Qi's fingers.

"Hehe~"

Qiqi smiled, then said seriously, "Qiqi has been doing flexibility exercises all along~"

"That's really impressive," Mu Xian said, then added, "Well then, Qi Qi, see you next time."

Goodbye, Big Sparrow!

Mu Xian shifted his gaze from Qi Qi, his eyes turning cold once more.

Before leaving, Mu Xian glanced at the red figure being helped up, and then walked down the stone steps.

"Sister Yanfei?"

Seeing Yanfei fall to the ground, Yaoyao quickly ran over and helped her up: "What happened to you?"

Yan Fei didn't respond, staring blankly at the disappearing figure in the distance, before being helped up in a daze.

"Sister Yanfei, please don't scare Yaoyao."

Yao Yao suddenly felt anxious and worried. She was looking around when she suddenly realized that her hands had been released.

Turning around, he found Xiangling standing in front of him, helping Yanfei up in his place.

"Senior Sister Xiangling?"

As if she had found her pillar of support, Yao Yao quickly asked, "What's wrong, Sister Yanfei?"

"Yanfei is fine."

Xiangling's expression was complicated, then she said, "You go and take care of Facai first, I'll take care of Yanfei."

"but..."

"Don't worry, your senior sister knows how to take care of people."

Xiangling forced a smile: "Besides, you wouldn't want Facai, the cat, to be all alone, would you?"

"That's okay..."

As if giving in, Yao Yao looked around with her head adorned with bells, saw Fa Cai sitting on the edge of the stone steps looking down, and ran towards the kitten.

Xiangling looked away and then focused her attention on Yanfei.

"As long as... Brother Mu Xian is still alive..."

Even if the hope is slim...

As Xiangling spoke, her tone became somewhat downcast: "But as long as I'm alive... that's enough."

Xiangling's voice made Yanfei slightly raise her head and slowly look at Xiangling.

"So you knew he was still alive all along."

Yan Fei's voice still trembled slightly: "Xiang Ling, why didn't you tell me?"

"why?"

Xiangling grabbed Yanfei's arm, but subconsciously used a little force: "I promised Hu Tao."

"You have to promise me too." Xiangling looked up at Yanfei: "Don't tell anyone about Brother Muxian's identity."

Yanfei wanted to refuse immediately, but Xiangling's next words shut her up.

"This is also what Brother Mu Xian thought."

Yan Fei shut her mouth again, lowered her head and said softly, "I understand."

...

"But I think neither you nor I want the sect leader to become like you were before."

"If you still refuse, then let's just treat this as a performance..."

"The hardest thing to lose in this world is the friendship between people, but once lost, it is even harder to get it back."

"No matter what, don't let this friendship down."

The sounds of the past few days kept echoing in Mu Xian's mind, followed by a picture of a charming young girl.

The girl's head rested on his shoulder, but her eyes were staring straight at him.

"Mu Xian... Brother, Hu Tao likes you so much, why don't you like Hu Tao?"

"If only Hu Tao could share some of her affection with Brother Mu Xian."

Mu Xian stopped and opened his mouth, but the image of another girl appeared in his mind.

But this time, Mu Xian's gaze was not hesitant as before; only indifference remained in his eyes.

He stared indifferently at the girl in his mind, then indifferently watched her figure disappear...

They stopped and started walking forward again, faster and faster, until they stepped into the Hall of Rebirth and saw Zhongli standing at the door.

Besides Zhongli, there is also Aja.

Aja looked haggard, and seemed to be talking to Zhongli about something.

However, Aja seemed to notice Mu Xian sitting over from a distance, turned his head to look at him, and then turned away.

Watching Aja leave, Mu Xian recalled what he had said to Aja before.

He probably couldn't make a living and came to the funeral parlor to find work.

Thinking of this, Mu Xian turned to look at Zhong Li.

Zhongli stood there with his hands behind his back, seemingly having waited for Mu Xian for a long time.

“I’ve already told him that I’ll invite him along when there’s business.”

Zhong Li remained silent, his face still bearing that placid, expressionless look.

Mu Xian didn't respond, but looked up at Zhong Li: "Is the sect leader alright?"

"There is no immediate danger."

After saying this, Zhongli continued, "There are rumors about the Hall of Rebirth..."

“I fired that legal counselor.”

Upon learning from Zhong Li that Hu Tao was alright, Mu Xian's attitude changed, and his tone became cold again.

"This matter is inextricably linked to the General Affairs Department." And she herself had many connections with the General Affairs Department.

Chapter 40 The Dream of Liberation

There weren't many people around the Hall of Rebirth to begin with, and Mu Xian's words silenced the only two people there.

After a long while, Zhongli finally spoke.

"Actually, besides the General Affairs Department, there are many other suspects."

Zhongli crossed his arms and then said, "Actually, you can check again."

Is further investigation still necessary?

Mu Xian countered, "Before the rumors spread, not many people knew that Wang Sheng Tang had accepted a commission regarding the Layered Rock Abyss."

"Add to that the ability to spread rumors throughout Liyue, who else but the Seven Stars of Liyue could it be?"

"From a purely rational perspective, your conjecture is not unreasonable."

Zhongli sighed, as if he had compromised on something: "You know about the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, right?"

Zhongli's words made Mu Xian frown, and the image of Aja's wallet in his mind came to mind.

Gradually, Mu Xian remembered the thief she had encountered when she and Zhong Li went to Yunhan Society.

The two ideas slowly overlapped in Mu Xian's mind...

"No wonder..."

Mu Xian felt that his wallet was somewhat familiar, and it was as if something was missing.

Mu Xian's guess was correct; the wallet was missing some markings.

But Mu Xian guessed something wrong again; the missing logo in the wallet wasn't that of the Northern Bank, but rather that of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.

"When I went to pick you up from the Layered Rock Abyss last time, I met some of the Flying Cloud Merchant Guild's staff."

Zhong Li crossed his arms, speaking as if stating a fact, but the fact he was stating pointed directly at the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.

Mu Xian listened to Zhong Li's words without showing the slightest expression on his face.

He shifted his gaze from Zhongli and then entered the Hall of Rebirth.

Mu Xian didn't completely believe Zhong Li's words. Zhong Li's words seemed deliberate, unlike his usual carefree demeanor.

But no matter what, Mu Xian still had to go and take a look at the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.

After passing through the lobby, Mu Xian stopped outside the door of a certain room.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, it opened from the inside.
