"I'm currently in Liyue Harbor. If they want, they can come and find me directly."
"Moreover, they suspect that I assassinated you. Logically and emotionally, they should be the ones avoiding me."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian took a few steps forward, chuckled softly, and then spoke.
I will convey what my old friend said to them.
After Zhongli finished speaking, he slowly walked away into the distance.
"Um..."
Where should we go next?
Qiu Nian lowered her chin with one hand and murmured to herself.
"Have I forgotten something?"
As if remembering something, Qiu Nian paused slightly.
Too much time has passed.
He had almost forgotten about the parallel blue planet.
"I've been so busy sightseeing lately that I completely forgot about this..."
"The Lantern Festival is starting tonight, right?"
Qiu Nian put down her hand and found it somewhat amusing.
Generally speaking, he only forgets things that are not important.
That's right, for the 20th of autumn.
Parallel blue stars and popularity ratings have never been important.
Even without popularity points to enhance his power.
His strength will gradually return.
It will just take a little longer, but it won't affect his final plan at all.
But it’s better to have it than not to have it.
"Hmm, it's been a while since I've seen Ying and Paimon."
"Go and see them."
With that thought in mind, Qiu Nian left Liyue Harbor, went to a deserted place, and flew directly into the sky.
After sensing the surroundings, it flew towards the Wangshu Inn.
Upon arrival, Qiu Nian landed not far from the Wangshu Inn.
"I didn't expect there to be so many people here."
As Qiu Nian walked on the wooden bridge, she was somewhat surprised to see so many Mondstadt travelers in the distance.
After entering Wangshu Inn, Qiu Nian went up the stairs.
"Why haven't my son-in-law and the Emperor shown up yet?"
"The Lantern Festival is almost over."
Since it's already Chinese New Year, Xuehua didn't cosplay as any character, but instead wore a traditional Chinese red dress, creating a festive atmosphere.
She hadn't seen Qiu Nian and Zhong Li for a very, very long time.
As a fan of both the Emperor and the Noble Son-in-Law, she was already on her deathbed.
Xiao Bao is great too!
Maybe Qiu Nian will be taking a stroll somewhere.
[Probably not, didn't Qiu Nian do something to Xiao in the PV?]
Why doesn't Xiao go see the lanterns?
Snowflake glanced at the comments, then controlled Yingmei to talk to Xiao, who was standing on the Wangshu Inn platform.
"So, is the matter settled?"
Xiao looked at Ying and Paimon in front of him and asked.
"It's over, but..."
"Are you really not going to see the night lanterns?"
Ying looked at Xiao in front of her, somewhat puzzled as to why Xiao didn't look at her.
"I've said it before, I don't like places with lots of people, especially during these few days of the year."
Xiao replied in a cold tone.
"This year's lantern is the True Lord of Moving the Clouds and Guiding the Heavens."
Ying looked at Xiao in front of her and spoke up.
"Yes, it's a very majestic-looking deer. Shall we go take a look?"
Paimon still didn't want to give up, so he stomped his foot at Xiao, then smiled with his hands behind his back.
"The True Lord Who Shifts the Clouds and Guides the Heavens..."
Xiao's expression was somewhat complicated upon hearing the name.
"But in the end, it's just a lantern, a man-made inanimate object, boring."
"Go into the city and see what's going on."
But he eventually rejected Paimon.
"Come on, come on, why not go? Come on, come on~"
At this moment, Snowflakes started acting cute and affectionate towards Xiao.
[You know how to act cute, huh? Hahaha]
[Aren't these snowflakes so cute?]
[Place several plates of almond tofu along the main street of Liyue Harbor]
【No, Xiao Bao, I want to go with you!】
[Why does this feel like a story about rescuing autistic children?]
[Because the Lantern Festival is the time when one's karma is heaviest, Xiao will probably be busy fighting...]
Just then, Ying's pupils rolled around.
It was as if they had come up with a solution.
"By the way, Xiao, you don't know yet, do you? Gui Xu is back!"
Ying looked at Xiao in front of her and said with a smile.
"Gui Xu..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao murmured those two words.
"Actually, I have never met that person."
"He left Liyue three thousand years ago, and at that time I had not yet met the Emperor."
Xiao looked at Ying and Paimon in front of him and began to explain.
"That's right..."
Paimon was very surprised to hear this.
"But I know that he is a very gentle god, and his power is comparable to that of the Emperor."
"As a friend of His Majesty the Emperor, I also have great respect for him."
Xiao looked at Ying and Paimon in front of him and spoke.
"Doesn't Xiao want to see him?"
Ying looked at Xiao in front of her and continued to pull.
Xiao seemed conflicted upon hearing this and remained silent.
Because he didn't know how to communicate after meeting.
"Even with other immortals today, I rarely have any interaction."
"Besides... that person is an old friend of the Emperor. To avoid any awkwardness, it's best not to go."
After a moment of silence, Xiao explained to Ying and Paimon.
[So Xiao is actually a socially awkward person, hahaha!]
Xiao has never seen Guixu before.
"What's embarrassing?"
Just then, a familiar voice came, startling Ying and Paimon.
Following the line of sight, Qiu Nian slowly walked over.
When Ying and Paimon met Qiu Nian, they both smiled.
Xiao was clearly surprised when he saw Qiu Nian.
She then immediately looked away, seemingly somewhat embarrassed.
"We meet again. Are you here for the Lantern Festival too?"
Qiu Nian looked at Ying and Paimon in front of her and said with a light laugh.
Ying and Paimon nodded upon hearing this.
"Kui...Lord Guixu."
Xiao looked at Qiu Nian as she approached, appearing quite reserved.
"grown ups..."
Qiu Nian was also a little surprised when Xiao called her "Master".
