......

When Keqing led several officers from the General Affairs Department to the stone gambling stall mentioned by the reporter, they did not find the so-called "young man with silver hair and purple eyes". The entire stall was deserted, and no customers were paying attention.

"Hello, General Affairs Department, has there been a young man with silver hair and purple eyes here before?" A clerk asked the stall owner who looked depressed.

When the boss heard this, his already depressed face became even more bitter and resentful: "I've been here before! Why haven't you been here before? As soon as he came up, he opened all the valuable rough stones in my stall. I thought I had lost a lot. , but when other people saw that guy making a lot of money, they were itching to play a few tricks, right? Just to comfort themselves, they treated it like spending money to buy advertising, but who knew that there were customers who just opened two yuan and found that the quality was poor, and the onlookers The silver-haired guy immediately took over everything that was agreed upon, and the rest were all goods that cost money. The others immediately left as soon as they heard this. Today, I am spending money to accompany my grandma’s house..."

There was no time to listen to him finish pouring out the bitter water, Ke Qing interrupted: "Then do you know where that person went?"

"Ah? I didn't pay much attention to this, but I saw him going to the stall selling offal from the Central Plains over there."

"Thank you for your cooperation."

Keqing thanked her and immediately took people to the stall selling offal from the Central Plains. She received this reply from the stall owner -

"Ah? Are you asking that handsome little guy? He bought some Zhongyuan offal from me and went to the stall over there. Would you like to buy some? It's delicious and not expensive. oh!"

"..."

"What? Master Keqing is looking for that little brother? He left a rag doll in my set and went to Old Man Guo's candy shop."

"..."

"Hey, isn't this Master Keqing? I haven't been here for a while, but I'm busy with official duties? What? You are looking for that young man, remember it! He is so handsome, it is hard to remember it, in my place I asked for a root of 'Fengqi Wutong' and went to the Mingfu Winery across the street."

"..."

"That young man bought a ten-year-old sweet-scented osmanthus wine from me, and then walked towards the arena where the royal palace is competing to recruit brides today. I think he came here to watch the excitement."

……

"Ah? Master Keqing is also looking for that boy? He ran towards the south, and I am sending my servants to chase him!"

"Father, father, you must find him back! You have also seen that he is so powerful in kung fu and even won the martial arts competition to find a bride. He will be the only one to marry my daughter in this life!"

"Okay, dad will definitely find someone for you..."

......

After instinctively running for a distance in the south direction, Keqing and several officers from the General Affairs Department behind him suddenly stopped.

After everyone looked at each other, one of the officers finally couldn't help but said with a strange expression: "Master Keqing, that guy is playing too hard. Is he really the person the traveler is looking for?"

"Yes, if the guy we are chasing is the person the travelers have been looking for all this time...it always feels very..." another officer said with a constipated expression on his face.

"..." Keqing was silent for a moment and shook her head: "Forget it, no matter whether the person is the person the travelers are looking for, we have to find it first to find out. Since we have been chasing for so long, giving up halfway is not the behavior of the General Affairs Department. style..."

A journey of searching for someone who was thought to be able to find the target in just a few steps, unexpectedly continued into the evening.

When Keqing and his party followed the traces left by the guy who "had a lot of fun", they finally arrived at the port of Liyue.

Not far ahead, there was the silhouette of a silver-haired boy squatting in front of a dying kitten.

"Master Keqing..."

"Shh!" She stopped the officer from saying anything, and Ke Qing looked at the young man's figure quietly, waiting for his next move.

"Look at this one with injuries all over his body. Even his fur is almost gone. Who did he lose in the fight?" Ling gently tapped the tip of the kitten's nose with his finger. His breathing was very weak, as if he would stop breathing in the next second. .

"Haha, I don't have my father's shoulder to lean on when I'm injured, and I don't have my mother's arms to act like a baby when I'm wronged. It's quite pitiful for this little one."

A little black light flashed on Ling's fingertips, spreading to the kitten's body like ripples. The next moment, something magical happened. The kitten's injuries all over his body disappeared like pencil marks rubbed by an eraser. The little guy who was dying just now was only a moment away. While he was sucking, he had already stood up from the ground and screamed "meow" at the spirit with a lively look.

Ling smiled, got up and walked to the beach, sitting on the wooden platform facing the sunset over the sea.

The kitten immediately followed him, meowing and rubbing against his hand that was holding the edge of the wooden platform.

"Oh, the little guy knows how to repay kindness." Ling picked up the cat with a smile: "Then watch the sunset with me~"

Seeing this, Keqing's pretty face, which was originally covered with frost, seemed to melt against the backdrop of the setting sun, revealing a particularly touching smile: "It seems that he is a very nice guy."

Chapter 38 Liyue

The scales of the sea divide the gilded sunset into pieces, and they sparkle with dreamy rhythms as the waves rise and fall. This is a country of magnificent scenery on earth, and the dusk on the horizon carries the prosperity and hustle and bustle of the entire Liyue Port. , with the sound of tide, another day came to a brilliant end as always.

In the amethyst-like eyes, the last setting sun before night reflected, igniting the blue rainbow in them like a flame, covering the true color of violet.

Ling stroked the kitten on his lap, with a happy look on his face: "You have been looking for me for so long, and now you have finally found me, but why don't you come over and have a chat?"

The young man's somewhat melodious voice came from the seaside. Ke Qing couldn't help but be startled. Then she motioned to the several officers of the General Affairs Department around her to stay here and walked towards the figure of the silver-haired young man.

"Hello, I am Keqing, the Yuheng star among the seven stars in Liyue." Standing next to him, Keqing looked at his side face and introduced herself with a smile.

"You can call me..." Ling paused, looked at Keqing, and looked at her with a smile: "Ni Knox."

Seeing those pair of shining blue eyes, Keqing's eyes widened in surprise, and she couldn't help but murmured: "It's not purple..."

Then she thought about it again. She finally found it, so she had to ask. After all, for so long, this person was the person who best matched the description on the missing person notice. His silver hair and extraordinary handsomeness all fit the description, but he was the only one. I have one eye... but there are ways to change the color of my eyes!

After adjusting her tone, Keqing asked tentatively: "Do you know a blond girl named Ying?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling smiled and said bluntly: "Of course I know him."

Surprise appeared on Keqing's face, but before the surprise faded away, Lingji spoke again:

"The famous honorary knight of Mondstadt, the great hero of Liyue who ended the demon god Osel, how could I not recognize him?"

Her expression froze, Ke Qing asked again without giving up: "I mean, have you known each other before... the kind of people who have a close friendship?"

"Well." Ling waved his hands and said as if he was joking: "I was just an ordinary person before, how could I possibly know such a big shot?"

Hearing this, Keqing's eyes suddenly dimmed.

But at this moment, Ling, who was observing the other party's expression without any trace, smiled in his heart. I'm not lying. You asked yourself 'before', and you didn't say when before... Besides, to let you know the truth, in addition to calling her There is no other benefit in coming here to cause trouble for me...

As for now, leaving a good impression on a Liyue Seven Star, no matter whether it will play any unexpected role in the future, at least it will be very helpful for his current actions in Liyue.

Putting the kitten aside, Ling patted it on the back to indicate that it could go.

Seeing the kitten turning back step by step and leaving, and the little figure gradually disappearing into the distance, Keqing retracted her disappointed expression and smiled apologetically at Ling: "I'm sorry to disturb you, but looking at your unfamiliar face, it's the first time I've seen you. Are you coming to Liyue once?"

"That's right." Ling said meaningfully.

......

After settling the matter at Juelu Yin Yang Lao, Ying said goodbye to Xin Yan, [Master] and General Shi, and immediately boarded the boat back to Liyue accompanied by Paimeng.

"Speaking of which, it's really a blessing that [Young Master] is here this time. Not only did he help us solve the problem of Juelu Yin Yang Lao, but he also provided information about Ling."

On the bow deck at night, Paimon was lying on the side of the ship looking at the night sky.

"Yeah." Ying responded softly.

"You don't seem to be very interested. Are you thinking about what General Shi said?"

"No, I'm thinking about Ling and my brother. According to the available information, Ling stayed in Daozhu 500 years ago, and my brother had a close relationship with Kanriya. At that time, Daozhu and Kanriya A big disaster happened in Yadu, and I was wondering...what role did the two of them play in that disaster..." Ying said calmly.

"Hmm..." Paimon scratched his head: "I don't know what your brother did, but what Ling did should be obvious. The Son of God said that Ling... died 500 years ago, and the flowers were scattered. Li also said that the original spirit risked his life to protect the beauty. I think he must have become what he is now in order to prevent that disaster. And I believe that when his memory is restored, he will definitely change back to the way he used to be with you. That’s how we have a good relationship!”

"..." Ying was silent.

"That's right!" Paimon said, slapping his palm as if he had thought of something again: "When we met your brother in front of the Filthy Reversed God Statue, didn't he also reveal a lot in his words? You can already get a lot of information from the book "Night's End". Ling and your brother have a common enemy - Tianli. Since Ling died in the hands of Tianli, your brother must not be a bad person! "

Ying blinked and looked at Paimon with a bit of disbelief: "Paimon is... so smart today."

"Hey!" Pamon crossed his arms with a proud look on his face: "I've always been smart, right?"

After saying that, she smiled and said: "How is it? After listening to my analysis, do you feel much better?"

After exhaling, Ying smiled and nodded: "Thank you, little Paimon."

"Hehe..." Pamon scratched his head in embarrassment.

"But speaking of it, Ling is really popular with girls." Paimon said suddenly, a look of memories appeared on his face: "Just from the information we got, we know that people who have been with him, no matter it was 500 years ago, Still now, there are always people who like him, but he doesn’t respond to any of them... He is really a sinful guy..."

At this point, Paimon seemed to suddenly realize something. She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Ying: "Wait... speaking of the girl he has been with the longest... it seems to be you! Could it be..."

Paimon opened his mouth so wide that his little hands couldn't cover it.

A thought popped into her head, and she said angrily: "Don't think so wildly!"

"It hurts!" Paimon covered his forehead, but immediately teased Ying with a face full of teasing: "Really not?"

Ying rolled her eyes and simply ignored her.

......

When the night was pierced by the light of dawn, a small merchant ship quietly moored at the port of Liyue.

Ying and Paimon walked out of the cabin and looked around at the familiar scenery.

"Although I have been away for quite a while, Liyue Port seems to have not changed much. It is still so prosperous!" Paimeng flew around excitedly.

Ying shook his head, cheered up and said, "Now is not the time for sightseeing. We need to find traces of the spirit first."

"Um, but where can I find it?" Paimeng scratched his head: "Although the young master said that the spirit is in Liyue, since the last incident with Osel, the embassy of the Fools in Liyue has been demolished. Do you want to go to the North Kingdom? Is the bank looking for help?"

Ying thought for a moment and said: "Anyway, let's go to the General Affairs Department first and ask if anyone has seen anyone who matches the description in the missing person notice."

Chapter 39

"The emperor is very elegant. He spends all day wandering around in the world, which is really enviable to others."

The seats under the stage of Heyu Teahouse were almost overcrowded, because the person singing on the stage at the moment was the head of Yunhan Society - Yun Jin, Boss Yun.

A famous actor who was considered worthy of buying the entire teahouse just for her sake by countless businessmen.

Before her drama stopped on stage, the audience did not even pick up the tea on the table for fear of missing even a single frame.

In such an environment, there were only two people sitting at a table in the corner. One of them was lying on a recliner with his legs crossed very arrogantly while the others were sitting on stools. Holding the wine bottle in his hand, he would take a sip from time to time.

"Haha." Zhongli picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Then he looked at the young man on the recliner who enjoyed it more than anyone else and said, "Since you are so envious, why don't you accompany me to watch this worldly scene."

"That's not okay." Ling used his free left hand to support the side of his face, looking at the performance on the stage with a little bit of pleasure in his eyes: "Everyone has something to do, and your responsibility has been completed. , so I can enjoy the rest of my life by pretending to be dead, and my work is not done yet, so even if I really die, I will be pulled up to continue working."

"..." Zhongli was silent for a moment and said, "You didn't want to do it."

Ling seemed to be really drunk, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice sounded like he was talking in a dream: "I vaguely recall that I seemed to have said that back then, the edges of your stubborn stone have been smoothed by time. Haha, I thought I would stand in the end. There will be you by my side, but I didn't expect that in the end, except for Narukami (the former Thunder God. Shin) and the Tree King... Haha, that's it, maybe your choice is right. After all, you are still alive. But they are no longer here.”

Morax remained silent for a longer time this time. After a while, when the opera on stage was almost finished, he suddenly said: "If I said that I was stopped by someone back then, would you believe it? "

"Oh?" Ling's eyes lit up with interest: "You were stopped by someone? It shouldn't be a boring reason like being persuaded by someone around you... Then the person who can stop you... the four rulers One of them?"

"I don't know." Morax shook his head and sighed: "I fought with the opponent. Although it seemed that there was no winner, the authority used by the opponent was not obviously special."
