Genshin Impact: The Vision of Gods Shines Again

Page 6

Mu Xian looked at the man named Dai Yin in front of him, and was about to ask him why he came to help him, when he saw Dai Yin suddenly push Mu Xian's chest.

The force of the push wasn't great, but as Mu Xian came into contact with that force, his body slowly shrank.

The hands that had been holding down the Abyss Chanter loosened due to his shrunken body, and the unsuspecting Mu Xian was suddenly pushed over.

Mu Xian, who was pushed to the ground, did not fall to the ground, but instead fell into another spatial rift.

Mu Xian fell into the crack for a long time before finally being thrown out. The impact with the ground left Mu Xian feeling dizzy and disoriented.

Upon landing, Mu Xian felt a surge of blood rushing back, and the blood he spat out was surrounded by a dark purple aura.

At this rate, it's only a matter of time before it gets cold.

Mu Xian laughed, a rare occurrence, but the sound of footsteps froze his expression.

"They haven't found me yet, have they?"

"Little Wood, so you were here all along."

The sweet voice sounded somewhat familiar, accompanied by increasingly close footsteps, which made Mu Xian feel a little uneasy.

Mu Xian lay motionless on the grass, deceiving himself into thinking that Hu Tao hadn't seen him.

The air was filled with the delicate fragrance of plum blossoms. A black hat appeared, blocking Mu Xian's view, and the pair of crimson eyes beneath the hat shone brightly in the darkness.

Mu Xian turned his head away, not intending to pay attention to Hu Tao, but inadvertently noticed the bloodstains on the girl's body.

"Are you alright?" Mu Xian asked, concerned for his boss.

"How could anything happen to this master?"

Hu Tao spoke with a sly smile. She stared at Mu Xian and was about to help him up: "If you're alright, it should be me asking you that."

Me? How could I possibly...?

Before he could finish speaking, Mu Xian felt his vision blur, but he could still hear Hu Tao's shouts.

"Little Wood?"

"Speak up, little wooden thing, don't scare me. This master won't be frightened by you."

“Master Hu, he has the aura of the abyss about him, as if he has been corrupted by the abyss.”

Before his consciousness faded, a blurry, tall figure appeared, and Mu Xian seemed to hear his younger sister's voice.

Chapter 7 The Trip to Yuheng Qingce Village

Clouds come from the sea, and guests come in droves; Liyue Harbor is a gathering place for all visitors from the mainland, which seems to be the true symbol of Liyue.

But the real Liyue is more than that. It has the prosperity of a port, but behind the prosperity are many young people who have left home.

Liyue Harbor is not their home; like fallen leaves returning to their roots, the people of Liyue will always return to Qingce Manor when they grow old.

There are no young people in Qingce Village, but mostly elderly people and children.

The streams converge here to form pools, and terraced fields are built along the water. Qingce Village is not bustling, but it is peaceful with children playing around it.

The distance between Liyue Harbor and Qingce Village means that travelers cannot always return to Qingce Village, making sending letters the best option.

Every two weeks, Liyue Harbor sends some people back to Qingce Village.

The first purpose was to send a letter, and the second was to express condolences to the people of Qingcezhuang.

As Yuheng, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, Keqing shouldn't have done this kind of thing herself.

However, these messengers would often waste a lot of time playing around, making the work more and more troublesome afterward, so Keqing chose to supervise them personally.

In fact, Keqing was already doing this before she became one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, when she was still a young lady from a prestigious family, and she never stopped doing it even after she became one of the Seven Stars.

After passing through the bamboo forest and stepping onto the wooden bridge, a bright and open view suddenly appears on the stone steps.

The children of Qingce Village seemed to know that Keqing was coming, and they waited at the entrance, gazing longingly down the mountain.

Upon seeing that purple figure, the children ran over to greet the elders who were returning behind Keqing.

"Sister Keqing."

The little girl in the lead ran over with her arms outstretched, and just as Ke Qing squatted down, she hugged Ke Qing's neck.

Looking at that innocent little face, Ke Qing's tense nerves, which had been strained by work, relaxed.

"Is Yaoyao waiting for me?" Ke Qing asked with a smile.

"Mmm." Yaoyao let go of her arm: "Yaoyao has been waiting for her sister for a long time."

"Sister Keqing, has Dad written a letter?"

"This time, Yaoyao will read the letter herself. Sister, remember to tell Dad that Yaoyao knows a lot of words."

"of course."

Ke Qing stood up and led Yao Yao into Qing Ce Manor: "Both I and Yao Yao's father know that Yao Yao is very smart."

"Where is Brother Mu Xian?"

Ke Qing paused, and Yao Yao looked up at Ke Qing as if she hadn't noticed, her tone inexplicably aggrieved: "Does Brother Mu Xian think Yao Yao is stupid?"

"how could be?"

Ke Qing smiled and comforted her, but this time the smile was somewhat forced: "Mu Xian... he also thinks Yao Yao is very smart."

"My sister is lying."

Yao Yao suddenly lowered her head: "Brother Mu Xian just thinks Yao Yao is stupid and dislikes her, so he hasn't come to see Yao Yao for a long time."

"Yaoyao shouldn't have pushed her brother away back then. Yaoyao will apologize."

As she was talking, a small hand was stretched out in front of Ke Qing. Yao Yao stood on tiptoe with difficulty, and the small hand was open. It was a wooden carving covered with wood chips.

"This is a gift from Yaoyao to her older sister."

As she spoke, Yao Yao took out a small wooden carving: "And a gift from Brother Mu Xian."

"Sister, could you please give the gift to Brother Mu Xian and then tell him to come and see the medicine again?"

The childish voice carried a hint of anxiety, yet Ke Qing found it hard to refuse.

Ke Qing looked at the two wood carvings for a long time, but in the end she put them away.

"I'll tell him."

"Really?"

"real."

Ke Qing turned her head away, not wanting Yao Yao to see her expression.

Yao Yao didn't notice Ke Qing's little actions and was much happier.

"Then brother will forgive Yaoyao, right?"

"In a few days, Brother Mu Xian will come to see Yao Yao, right?"

Ke Qing didn't want to answer; she didn't want to say anything that would hurt the little girl.

"Yaoyao, do you think Brother Muxian is a bad person?" Keqing asked, almost as if possessed.

"Brother Mu Xian isn't a bad person! If he were, Yao Yao would be even worse than Brother Mu Xian!"

Yes, he's not a bad person, even Yao Yao knows that, but why can't I believe him...?

"Sister, you're hurting me."

Yao Yao broke free from Ke Qing's increasingly tight grip on her small hand, and tears welled up in her eyes.

When Keqing came to her senses, she looked apologetic, but behind that apology lay some heavy thoughts.

"Yaoyao, I'm sorry, sister... I have something on my mind."

Ke Qing squatted down, her expression turning somewhat forlorn: "Yao Yao, you should go home first. I want to clear my head."

"Is your sister unhappy? Is it because of the medicine?"

"No, it's just because my sister did something wrong."

"Did you do something wrong? Did you apologize? As long as you apologize, everything will be fine."

Ke Qing forced a smile, patted Yao Yao's head, and ultimately said nothing.

Apologize? But to whom should I apologize?

That person was driven to his death by everyone; even if he apologized, how could he hear it?

"I've already told everyone your identity, and they'll all be wary of you. Even if you want to do something bad in Liyue, don't even think about succeeding!"

"Believe it or not, I have never done anything bad."

"Hmph, you people talk a good game, but if you hadn't done anything wrong, how could you have been caught by the Thousand Rock Army?"

...

"Don't think that doing a good deed will make me lower my guard. I'll be keeping an eye on you."

"Suit yourself, but please don't block my way. The captain is waiting for me."

...

"Thank you...it's you?!"

"I've driven off the treasure-hunting gang. You've injured your foot, so it's best not to move around too much."

"Don't... Hey? Where are you going?"

"We're gathering herbs. The captain said there's a herb on a nearby cliff that's very effective at treating sprains."

...

"I didn't expect you to be so popular with kids."
