The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 186 Senior Sister and Junior Sister

Liyue, between the clouds.

Jueyunjian is located in the northwest of Liyue Harbor, and is surrounded by clouds and mist all year round. There are many wonders in the mountains, but the terrain is complex, the mountain roads are steep, and there are few human traces. According to rumors, Jueyunjian is the secluded place of the immortals who guard Liyue, so every year there are many poets and travelers who come to visit the immortals.

When they come, most of them are in a state of desolation and frustration.

The people of Liyue are always pragmatic. They will think of seeking immortals only when they have something to ask for. However, most people seek immortals but never see them, or they cannot find the kind of immortal who can satisfy all the dreams of the seekers with a wave of his hand.

Gan Yu avoided the three or two immortal seekers on the mountain road, tiptoed lightly, and headed silently towards a secret place somewhere in Jueyunjian Aozang Mountain.

This was the first time she had heard from her master since Osel had caused the ancient demon disaster... and it was very shocking news.

Emperor Yan Wang summoned all the immortals in Aozang Mountain.

What happened? Could it be that it was really as Ningguang guessed, something that made the Emperor and the immortals feel troubled... Ganyu pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes full of worry.

The half-immortal girl hurried on her way and finally arrived in front of the magic circle of the secret place where all the immortals gathered. Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly slipped.

"ah!"

"careful!"

Gan Yu's eyes blurred and she found herself falling into a soft embrace. Looking up, she saw her junior sister's delicate and beautiful face and extremely indifferent eyes.

Junior Sister Shen He's temperament is more like that of an immortal... There have been many legends about white-haired goddesses in Liyue Harbor over the years... Ganyu blinked her eyes before she suddenly realized what was happening. Her pretty face blushed slightly, and she whispered, "Thank you, Junior Sister Shen He... Well, you can let me down now."

"Ah."

Shen He nodded calmly and put down Gan Yu who was in his arms.

Gan Yu straightened her messy hair and clothes, looked at Shen He with sparkling eyes, and said softly, "Junior Sister Shen He, did you just arrive as well?"

Shen He shook his head: "No, it was my master who asked me to wait for you here."

"Huh? Master asked you to wait for me? Why?" Ganyu wondered.

"Master said that you would be anxious to get on the road after hearing the news so suddenly. She was worried that you would fall down accidentally like you did before..."

"Okay! I get it!"

Gan Yu quickly interrupted Shen He, her face blushing, and she seemed to want to stand on tiptoe and cover her mouth with her hand.

"Ah."

Shen He's expression was calm, and he stopped talking.

The two walked side by side, but this time Ganyu's steps were particularly cautious.

"That... Junior Sister Shen He..."

Gan Yu hesitated for a few seconds, glanced at Shen He's fair face several times, and finally couldn't help asking: "Master...did she tell you alone in secret?"

"No."

Shen He shook her head, a rare sympathy appeared in her indifferent eyes. She thought for a moment and said, "Emperor, True Lord Lishui Dieshan, True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang, True Lord Gechen Langshi and the Great Sage Jiangmo, they are all here."

"……Well!"

Ganyu stopped, covered her face with her hands, and turned into a steam girl without steam.

Shen He also stopped and looked at Gan Yu who was mumbling something inaudible. After thinking for a while, he tried to comfort her: "These immortals have long heard from Master about Senior Sister's past. Well, it is said that there are several versions. Senior Sister, don't worry too much."

Ganyu: “…Hmm!” Shen He blinked, realizing that his ability to comfort people was not good enough, or perhaps it had the opposite effect, so he stopped talking and just quietly accompanied Ganyu, who was feeling embarrassed and annoyed.

moment,

Gan Yu walked out of "Master's concern", took a deep breath, and stretched out her hand to open the magic circle: "Let's go."

The main function of the magic circle is to stop those who seek immortals, so as not to disturb the normal lives of the immortals. After entering the magic circle and walking up a distance, you will reach the place where the immortals gather.

"It's finally here."

The immortal crane-like Master Liuyun Jiefeng paced to Ganyu, looked her up and down, and said with concern: "Ganyu, did you have a smooth journey? The fog in the mountains has been too heavy these days, and the mountain roads are steep and slippery. If it weren't for the tight time, I would have asked you to come to Aozang Mountain at another time. Although your figure has changed a lot compared to a thousand years ago, I am still a little worried..."

"I had a smooth journey without any accidents! Thank you for your concern, Master!" Gan Yu quickly interrupted Master Liuyun Jiefeng's muttering, and at the same time thought of something. She turned around and looked at Shen He with pleading in her beautiful eyes.

Shen He nodded gently, his face calm and indifferent: "Yes, Master, Senior Sister had a smooth journey without any accidents."

Junior Sister Shen He is such a nice person... Gan Yu gave Shen He a grateful look.

"As long as everything goes well, everything goes well."

True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng had no doubts. He flapped his wings, and worry could be clearly seen on his face. He sighed and looked at Ganyu: "Do you know why the Emperor summoned us today?"

"for what?"

Ganyu subconsciously held her breath, waiting for the answer from Master Liuyunjiefeng.

"The Emperor... wants to dethrone the Rock God."

"Eh?!"

……

"Emperor, I still don't understand why you suddenly want to give up your throne?"

"It's not sudden, it's like the water stacking up the mountains."

Zhongli shook his head gently and said in a gentle voice: "After thinking for a long time, I came up with the best result for the people of Liyue and the God of Rock."

"But……"

Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun, who also looks like a crane—but brown in color—looked worried: “If you step down from your position as a deity, who will be able to shoulder this heavy responsibility and protect Liyue?”

Is it up to those mortals themselves? This is a bit too cruel for them.

“Liyue is not only the Liyue of the Geogod and the Immortals, but also the Liyue of the Liyue people.” Zhongli smiled gently, his golden eyes full of expectations: “They should shoulder the responsibility of protection and have the ability to protect their homeland.”

Letting go of Liyue, returning people to their own, allowing them to choose their own direction of progress, and looking forward to it - this is exactly what he has always wanted to do.

"Besides, I only gave up my position as the God of Rock. I am not completely severing my relationship with Liyue. If Liyue encounters a crisis that the people of Liyue cannot solve, I will still help."

Zhongli paused and sighed, "But that kind of future is what I least want to see."

This means that Liyue is not yet fully ready to step out of the cradle of God. At that time, He will resume the responsibility of protection and allow Liyue to return to the future planned by God.

"Emperor, I don't think Liyue is ready."

Xiao, who was leaning against the tree trunk, opened his eyes, his golden eyes calm: "They don't have the strength to fight the demon yet."

This time, Osel's attack was repelled by the alien god. And what Liyue Port did was just to evacuate the people and try to delay... If the demon god invades again, what will Liyue use to resist the demon god?
