The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 184 White Hair and Departure

Hu Tao locked the gate and was about to leave, but suddenly saw a very beautiful woman walking out of Chen Tianfeng's courtyard. Her eyebrows immediately raised: "Who are you?"

Without waiting for the purple-haired woman to answer, Hu Tao suddenly asked, "Are you Tian Feng's friend?"

Ye Lan nodded and shook the keys in her hand: "I'll help him pack some things."

"So he gave you the key." Hu Tao nodded, looked at the courtyard gate, then looked at Ye Lan, and sighed, "It took you so long to come here, you must be feeling bad, right?"

"..."

Ye Lan pursed her lips and did not answer.

"But you came at the right time."

Hu Tao exhaled lightly and said softly, "Just now there was news from the hall that Tian Feng's body has been found. Do you want to come and see it?"

Ye Lan suddenly raised her eyes, stared blankly for a long time, then nodded heavily.

“…Yes, thank you.”

The voice was a little hoarse.

……

Hall of Rebirth,

Chen Tianfeng lay in the coffin with his eyes closed and a peaceful expression, a long emerald green knife tightly grasped in his right hand.

"I found him in a secret realm that was accidentally opened. There was also a dead demon god in the secret realm. Although the demon god is dead, I still can't get close to him, otherwise I would have brought back some evidence."

Zhongli's expression was calm, and he didn't seem to be lying. But he was actually sighing in his heart: Chen Tianfeng ate too cleanly. After he entered the seal, he didn't even find a piece of Osel's scale.

"The secret realm began to collapse after I carried Chen Xiaoyou on my back. Fortunately, the collapse speed was not fast, which gave us time to evacuate. Not long after we left the secret realm, the entrance also disappeared."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhongli."

Ye Lan bowed to Zhongli, came to the coffin, and stared at Chen Tianfeng's peaceful sleeping face.

"Zhongli, how are you?"

Hu Tao looked him up and down with concern, and suddenly exclaimed in a low voice: "Ah! Zhongli! You have white hair!"

There were a few glaring white strands in Zhongli's black hair that had appeared without him noticing.

"It's nothing, it's just gray hair."

Zhongli looked indifferent, as if these few strands of white hair were really caused by the erosion of the fading sea, and not deliberately dyed by some drunkard poet who shouted "be more reasonable" and "no flaws".

"Sit down, sit down, don't move, I will help you pull it out!"

Hu Tao pushed Zhongli onto the chair, walked around behind him, stretched out her palm, carefully found the white hair, and wrapped it around her finger a few times: "Pay attention, this master wants to pull it out."

"……Um."

A helpless smile flashed across Zhongli's eyes, and he cooperated with Hu Tao so that she could pull out those "white hairs".

"Great, done!"

Hu Tao pulled out the white hair easily and smoothly with a force of his fingers. Then he looked carefully and made sure there were no other white hairs. Then he rubbed the area where the white hair was pulled out and blew gently: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt~"

Zhongli: "..."

The old father was in a delicate mood. He was very glad that he had driven a drunkard poet who did not do his job back to Mondstadt two days ago. Otherwise, he would have had to spend some effort to silence him.

But speaking of it, the Traveler is still in Mondstadt. Does she know about Chen Tianfeng’s “sacrifice”?

……

"You didn't tell the others and Ying about this news? Lord Barbatos, why?"

Qin looked stunned, looking at Wendy who bypassed the knight and sneaked into the captain's office, her heart full of questions.

But surprisingly, he didn't feel there was anything wrong with the Wind God coming to the Knights and doing it in secret.

"Because of some very complicated reasons related to the gods, I can't tell you now."

Wendy blinked and spoke nonsense seriously: "But you can know one thing - Xiao Tianfeng is not dead yet. Well, that's not right, isn't he dead completely yet? Hiss... Anyway, Xiao Tianfeng will come back to life in the end."

He changed his words several times, and finally scratched his hair and looked up at Qin: "Um, do you understand what I mean?" "...I think I understand."

"That's good. Hehe, you are worthy of being my most devout believer!"

Wendy smiled and praised him, then thought of something and reminded him, "By the way, don't tell anyone else about this news."

Qin nodded: "Yes, I'll remember it."

"Then I'll leave the rest to you. I'll go find Ying. It's time for her to continue her journey to Liyue."

"Let the wind lead you."

"Oh, don't be so serious, I'm leaving~"

"..."

Qin watched Wendy turn into a gust of green wind and leave, feeling a little confused.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind, is in a particularly good mood today. Why?
……

"Finally I found you, Ying."

"Wendy?"

Ying was slightly surprised. Looking at Wendy falling from the sky, she blurted out, "It is not allowed to use the Wings of Wind in Mondstadt."

"…It's okay, no one saw me—and I just flew directly, without using the Wings of Wind."

Wendy coughed lightly and changed the subject: "Well, now is not the time to talk about this. Today I suddenly remembered something very important."

"what's up?"

Ying was a little curious, and the little mascot next to her also gave her a puzzled look.

"Soon it will be the annual Liyue Immortal Summoning Ceremony. The Liyue Rock God will come in person to guide the direction of managing Liyue for the year. Ying, you have to find all seven gods. You can't miss this ceremony, otherwise you will have to wait for a whole year."

"But……"

"But what? Are you worried that there won't be enough time?" Wendy patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I've calculated that at your speed, you should arrive in Liyue on the day of the Immortal Invitation Ceremony."

"That's not what I'm worried about."

"Hmm? What are you worried about?"

"I'm not worried about anything, but..." Ying spread her hands and asked in confusion: "Why should I look for all seven gods?"

"Eh? Aren't you looking for..."

Wendy choked, remembering that with her encouragement, Ying and her brother had already been in touch - and it was him who delivered the letter personally.

Kong will definitely tell Ying some key information in the letter, such as which gods in Teyvat will treat them kindly.

Oh no, how can I trick Ying into going to Liyue?

Xiao Tianfeng wanted to see her? He missed her so much that he couldn't even eat?
Hmm, it doesn’t seem so good… although Xiao Tianfeng really can’t eat anything now.

"Wendy?"

"A singer?"

"Ah, I'm fine. That's right, you don't have to look for all seven gods..."

Wendy came back to her senses, scratched her hair, her eyes suddenly lit up, and said sincerely: "But the Fairy Invitation Ceremony is really lively, it only happens once a year, it is an experience not to be missed during the trip!"

"Is this so..."

Ying nodded, glanced at Wendy thoughtfully, and smiled: "Since it is the suggestion of the God of Wind, then well, Mond has almost finished its journey, it's time to set off."

Wendy wanted her to go to Liyue so much, something must have happened in Liyue Harbor... Maybe it's related to Tianfeng?

The girl thought about it, looked at the emergency food beside her, and smiled: "Well, what do you think, Paimon?"

"Paimon listens to you!"

The little mascot didn't hesitate.
