Standing under the eaves, raindrops fell down the eaves.
As a gentle breeze blew by, a fragrance mingled with the scents of earth, trees, and faint flowers wafted through the air.
The fresh air made Qiu Nian take a deep breath.
The rain-drenched Liyue Harbor at night was bathed in a soft glow, a breathtakingly beautiful sight.
Another year has passed.
Zhongli stretched out a hand, caught a drop of rain, and murmured something.
"This rain came at just the right time. I wonder how fresh the air will be tomorrow morning."
Hu Tao put her hands on her waist, took a deep breath, and said with a smile.
“Qiu Nian, my guest, you seem to be celebrating the Lantern Festival for the first time to me.”
"When you lived in Jueyun Karst, did you never come to Liyue Harbor to celebrate festivals?"
Hu Tao looked at Qiu Nian beside her and asked with some curiosity.
"When I was very young, I once celebrated the Lantern Festival in Liyue Harbor."
“But that was a long time ago. Since then, I have spent the Lantern Festival in Yilongpu every year.”
Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian immediately started making up a story without any prior knowledge.
"So that's it."
Hu Tao didn't find anything strange about it when she heard this.
Because Liyue is just too big.
This is similar to how many people in Qiu Nian's previous life had never left their province.
"Then my old friend must have a good time at the Lantern Festival in Liyue Harbor."
Zhongli crossed his arms over his chest, looked at the street in the rain, and spoke.
He is now immune to the stories that Qiu Ershiling started writing.
Qiu Nian nodded slightly.
Since it had started raining, most of the pedestrians on the street had already gone home.
However, a few pedestrians still opened their oil-paper umbrellas, which are essentially rain umbrellas.
"I'm going out for a walk."
After Qiu Nian finished speaking, he went into the hall.
After taking out a red umbrella, he came out.
Under the watchful eyes of Zhongli and Hutao, he opened his umbrella and walked towards the distance of the street.
"Qiu Nian really loves taking walks..."
"It's raining and you still want to go out."
Hu Tao looked at Qiu Nian's back and felt very strange.
It's not exactly novel to say that the 20th of the Autumn Festival is unusual, given the past few months.
Qiu Nian should have already explored the entire Liyue Harbor by now.
"Zhongli, why did Qiu Nian go out even though it was raining?"
Unable to understand, Hu Tao looked at Zhong Li beside her.
"Liyue Harbor at night, during the Lantern Festival, in the rain."
"I think that's why my old friend wanted to go out for a walk."
Upon hearing this, Zhongli rested his chin on one hand and spoke.
"you mean..."
"Qiu Nian just wanted to see Liyue Harbor in this kind of atmosphere?"
Hu Tao looked at Zhong Li beside her, spread her hands, and asked.
"I think so."
Upon hearing this, Zhongli nodded to Hu Tao.
"I see... Alright then, I'll rest now."
"The Lantern Festival is in three days."
"It's time to prepare some decorations for the Hall of Rebirth."
After Hu Tao finished speaking, she turned around and walked into the Hall of Rebirth.
She really couldn't understand Qiu Nian.
Logically speaking, a young man of Qiu Nian's age, who is so handsome and knowledgeable, should have many pursuits.
Why does Qiu Nian seem so indifferent and without desire now?
This is too Zen-like! Even older people probably aren't as Zen-like as Qiu Nian.
Perhaps even some immortals aren't as Zen-like as him?
It's as if Qiu Nian really doesn't care about anything.
Qiu Nian walked down the street, holding an umbrella in one hand.
Listen to the sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella.
Looking at the brightly lit buildings and houses on both sides of the street ahead.
And the pedestrians walking by with umbrellas, I wonder what they were thinking.
He was simply absorbing the atmosphere, a faint smile on his face, as he slowly walked forward.
Qiu Nian had no destination; for him, the scenery passing by was his destination.
He really liked this feeling.
In my mind, Liyue Harbor from three thousand years ago also came to mind.
Lost in thought, an hour passed before she knew it. The moment the rain stopped, Qiu Nian also stopped walking.
He folded his umbrella and turned to look.
On the streets at night, the rain-soaked ground faintly reflected the lights on both sides.
After giving a faint smile, Qiu Nian walked back the way she came.
A seemingly meaningless stretch of road and behavior.
But this is what Qiu Nian finds most interesting these days.
Upon arriving at the Hall of Rebirth, Qiu Nian went up to the attic, lay down on the bed, and closed her eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next morning.
The Lantern Festival is the day after tomorrow.
Qiu Nian and Zhong Li, along with Yi Guan Xiao Mei and Lao Meng and a group of old Yi Guan.
So I started helping Hu Tao go out and buy some ingredients and lanterns for the festival.
Qiu Nian's assigned task was to buy some ingredients.
Time passed by little by little, and after finishing these tasks, it was already evening.
Qiu Nian stands below Liyue Harbor.
They looked at the radiant statue of the True Lord of Yixiao Daotian.
"Moving the heavens and guiding the sky..."
In Qiu Nian's mind, a scene from three thousand years ago appeared.
Things have really changed...
"Old friend, let's go have some tea together."
Just then, Zhongli came to Qiu Nian's side.
Qiu Nian nodded and then strolled around with Zhong Li.
Chapter 97 The Three-Eyed, Five-Manifestation Immortal, Xiao
The two strolled around until very late before returning to the Hall of Rebirth.
Another day has passed.
That's right, Qiu Nian and Zhong Li's day was just like that, ordinary and uneventful.
The next day, since it was the Lantern Festival that night, there was almost nothing to do in the church.
Hu Tao put on her hat early in the morning to go find her childhood friend, Xiang Ling, and Xing Qiu.
She also specifically told Qiu Nian and Zhong Li to wander around as they pleased, and to return to the ancestral hall together in the evening to celebrate the festival.
The main entrance of the Hall of Rebirth.
"Old friend, I'm going to take a look at Jueyun Pass."
"Don't you want to go together?"
Zhongli looked at Qiu Nian beside him and asked.
"I won't go."
Qiu Nian shook her head slightly upon hearing this.
"Could it be that, as Ge Chenlang City said, you're hiding from them?"
Upon hearing this, Zhongli jokingly said to Qiu Nian beside him.
"Avoiding them?"
"Haha...you can't say for sure."
