People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

Page 276

It also allowed her to no longer have to endure the anger that had been pent up in her heart for some time.

Given that I never want to see Rod's annoying face again.

As soon as Rosaline got the Heart of God, she didn't want to stay for a moment and immediately went back to Zhidong to report on her work.

"With one person less, I feel more relaxed. What's going on?"

In stark contrast to Rosaline's behavior, Rhodes was inexplicably in a good mood at this moment.

Not only because he got rid of Rosaline who was trying to change his mind all day long, but also because he finally got that bastard Doctor to hell.

"hey-hey--"

Rhodes was in a good mood and couldn't help laughing out loud.

When he smiled, Xiao, who was walking beside him, twitched his face.

Originally, Xiao didn't want to interfere in Rhodes' affairs.

But even though Rhode smiled, he still couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart, and said with a tangled look: "The Emperor's Heart of God."

"The Emperor has allowed me to handle it freely."

At this point, Rhode thought of the matter of Xiao and Zhongli, and stroked his chin and said, "Don't worry about this. I asked the Emperor. The position of the Rock God comes from the Rock God Throne. The Heart of God will not affect the inheritance."

“That’s not what I’m talking about.”

Xiao said helplessly: "I want to ask you, who is that doctor? Why do you try every means to get him to Xumi? Even at the cost of giving away the Heart of God."

"Originally, the Emperor allowed you to freely dispose of the Heart of God. I shouldn't have said that."

"I just think that by using the Emperor's Heart of God, you should have gained more practical benefits instead of simply exchanging someone for you."

"Or."

"Doctor, can this person be of great help to Xumi?"

This was the longest conversation he and Rhodes had ever had since they met Xiao.

I'm afraid it's only about things involving Zhongli that he can say so much.

In short.

It can be summed up in one sentence.

Xiao felt that Rhodes's Heart of God was not worth using and was a bit of a waste.

Especially after Rhodes said, "The doctor is of no use to Xumi, he is just here to cause trouble," the confusion on Xiao's face almost solidified.

"I want him."

"It was to kill him, actually."

"It's that simple."

Before Xiao could ask, Rhode took the initiative to explain the whole story: "I have a student who was nearly tortured to death by the doctor's human experiments. Even her parents were killed. Although I didn't teach this student much, she called me teacher after all. Since I am her teacher, her hatred is my hatred. Now I have a chance to avenge her, so I must seize this opportunity."

"revenge."

Xiao is not unfamiliar with this word.

But Xiao didn't expect that Rhodes actually wanted to avenge his students.

However, this operation is not uncommon for immortals.

Most of the Liyue immortals are protective of their own people.

If one's own disciples are bullied by outsiders, it is fine if they are in the wrong, but if they are bullied for no reason, they will definitely go to their door to fight.

Listen to what Rhodes just said.

His disciple was tricked into the doctor's laboratory when he was young, and while he was tortured, his parents were also killed. This can indeed be called an irreconcilable feud.

It is reasonable for the master to stand up for his disciple.

After getting a reasonable explanation, Xiao stopped asking questions and turned to talk about Rosaline.

"That Fatui executive left a little early."

He said this.

Rhodes, whose focus was no longer on Rosaline, immediately became interested: "Hmm? How do you mean?"

"She was left for you intentionally by Master Liuyun and the others."

Xiao casually told the immortals' plans at that time.

Rhodes guessed correctly.

The fairies and Wendy brought Rosalin to them on purpose.

Their purpose is clear.

That is to tell Rosaline that the Geo King is about to step down, and at the same time, take advantage of the time when Rod is preparing to take over the Geo King with Xiao to show Liyue's muscles to Zhidong in order to achieve the purpose of making a show of force.

Xiao didn’t know whether this was Zhongli’s prior arrangement.

But no one said.

He didn't dare to draw any conclusions.

But just because he didn't dare to say it didn't mean Rhodes didn't dare to say it.

"The Emperor is really worried about Liyue."

Xiao heard something similar yesterday, except that the core noun was changed from "he" to "Liyue".

Anyway, Rhodes was certain.

From the various fancy operations of the immortals to Venti's deliberate help everywhere, to the arrangements to warn foreign envoys.

These things seem to have nothing to do with Zhongli.

He had definitely arranged it all in advance.

Perhaps in the dark places that had nothing to do with Rhodes, undercurrents were also surging among the Liyue high-level officials, and everything was being prepared for the upcoming handover of the throne.

These things have not yet affected the civilians of Liyue.

At least based on what Rhodes and Xiao have seen so far.

The lives of ordinary people in Liyue remain as stable as ever, with no signs of being affected by any undercurrents.

Along this route arranged by Zhongli.

Xiao's mood became more stable day by day.

"When those guys were still alive, they often said that when the world is at peace, they will also go back to live in the human world."

While drinking the rice dumplings made from fermented rice that Rhodes had treated him to, Xiao said with a puzzled look on his face.

Those guys in his mouth.

There is no doubt that they are referring to the other four Yakshas.

Unfortunately.

This is a simple wish.

Now only Xiao is left to carry the burden for them.

"Don't be too burdened."

Xiao has always been carrying a lot, maybe because he is the one involved, but as an outsider, Rhodes can still see it clearly.

Regardless of the contract to protect Liyue when he was a Yaksha.

It was the promise he made after seeing the remaining soul of Fushe.

In fact, Xiao is carrying countless pressures that are enough to crush a person.

Even though he promised the remnant soul of Fushe that he would lead his brothers and sisters to experience the ups and downs of life together, this was a burden that was enough to crush a person.

"To fulfill a promise for the sake of a promise."

"You're not living for them at all."

Rhodes once again took on the responsibility of a spiritual mentor, and counseled the two thousand year old immortal: "Do you remember what Fushe said? Live well on their behalf, and see more of the scenery in this world that we haven't had the chance to see yet."

"Do you think Fushe wants you to live with their wishes?"

"wrong."

Rhodes shook his finger and said, "Fushe hopes that you will no longer be bound by the duties of a Yaksha and your mind. He hopes that you can fulfill their wishes and live a normal life."

"Do you know why the Emperor wants you to be like that Wind God, only keeping the title of Rock God but not fulfilling the duties of Rock God?"

"It's because he also wants you to live the life that the Yakshas once longed for."

the end.

Rhode said something that moved Xiao: "What you regarded as your duty in life has now become a burden to you."

"Has the responsibility become a burden?"

Xiao murmured and repeated Rhode's words, then lowered his head slightly and said, "Maybe it's right."

"What do you mean by maybe?"

Rhodes looked dissatisfied: "It is what it is."

He ignored Xiao's slightly heavy expression and continued, "You should be very clear about this, otherwise you wouldn't be so determined to die in the underground mine."

"You are already very tired."

"It's time to relax and take it easy."

This sentence 'You are already very tired'.

Let Xiao's face change color again.

He mumbled something, but Rhodes didn't hear clearly what he said.

Looking at Xiao's expression, he seems to be much more relaxed than before.

I just want to help him get over the burden of the past by talking to him.

This is obviously impossible.

Rhodes had no intention of making Xiao get rid of the shadow of the past so easily with just a few words.

"All right."

"I have already taken you through the route arranged by the Emperor. It's time to move to a new place."

Rhodes stood up, stretched his shoulders, and said with a chuckle: "Let's go, I'll take you to a good place."
