Genshin Impact: The Vision of Gods Shines Again

The plum blossom red eyes, which had become much darker due to pollution, seemed to grow even darker, but the owner of the pupils quickly looked away.

"Then forget it. I'll go myself. The laws of Liyue won't let those who spread rumors get away with it."

The girl quickly walked away from Mu Xian, who involuntarily sniffed the air.

Aside from the faint sandalwood scent emanating from the bracelet, there was no other fragrance.

Zhongli glanced at Mu Xian from a distance, but didn't say anything, and turned to walk into the courtyard.

Mu Xian did not go in and quickly disappeared from the spot.

Before long, the people who had slandered and attacked Hu Tao came out of the courtyard and scattered in all directions as if they had seen a ghost.

Mu Xian stepped out from the corner and quickly spotted Qian Yanjun among the scattered people.

Compared to the others, that person left quickly, as if in a hurry to get away from there.

Following that person, we made several turns in the streets and soon arrived at the dock.

Judging from his appearance, that person was about to leave Liyue Harbor from the direction of the Golden House.

Realizing this situation, Mu Xian lowered his eyes, the light in them flickering, and then, as if he had made a decision, continued to approach the Qianyan Army.

"that..."

The sound came from behind, causing Mu Xian to pause, but he quickly recovered.

He continued walking forward, but a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

My gaze swept past the figure, and the Thousand Rock Army soldier disappeared around a corner in the distance.

A sense of irritation arose in her heart, and then she looked at the person blocking her way.

Yun Jin, the voice behind me earlier was also from her.

"Is there something wrong?" Perhaps it was because of the Qianyan Army that he had lost track of, Mu Xian's tone was not very good.

Yun Jin seemed surprised by Mu Xian's tone, and was taken aback for a moment before smiling politely.

"I met the young man by chance and thought I would chat with him."

At this point, Yun Jin looked back and said, "It seems that Mr. Zhongli is not with the young master."

Why would I need him to come with me?

Perhaps because of yesterday's snacks, Mu Xian spoke more with Yun Jin than usual.

However, after saying this, Mu Xian was about to turn and leave, but his right hand was suddenly grabbed.

Her body stiffened abruptly, then she turned to look at Yun Jin, her eyes filled with a strange expression, and the bracelet on her forearm trembled again.

Mu Xian's gaze brought Yun Jin back to her senses, making her realize that her previous subconscious action had displeased Mu Xian.

"I'm sorry." Yun Jin slowly released Mu Xian's hand, but didn't know where to put her own hands.

"Young master, have you eaten? If not, I would like to invite you to try the cooking of Wanmintang."

“Yun Jin, I don’t feel comfortable eating alone. Consider this my treat to a meal, and I’ll have a chat with you.”

Yun Jin's words did not move Mu Xian in the slightest. He was about to refuse when a voice spoke faster than he could.

"Wanmintang... I'm going there too. It's a good opportunity to thank Xiangling for the meal she brought me the other day."

The voice was lively and charming, and Mu Xian quickly guessed who it belonged to.

For some reason, Hu Tao suddenly stood next to Mu Xian, at a distance, without making Mu Xian impatient as usual.

For some reason, Mu Xian felt a long-lost peace, as if... he had returned to the earth's veins.

Chapter 29 Things I Hate~

Mu Xian lowered his eyes and quietly followed behind the two girls.

I glanced up at Hu Tao and heard the girl chattering away.

Perhaps because Hu Tao was speaking to Yun Jin, the inexplicable tranquility was not suddenly broken.

Following the crowd, Mu Xian quickly arrived at Wanmintang and ate quietly in a corner.

The girl from Mu Xian's memory wasn't in the restaurant, but Mu Xian didn't pay much attention to it.

The tranquil feeling only gradually faded after Yun Jin left Wanmintang and said goodbye to Hu Tao.

"This time you can stay with me, Hu Tao, right?"

When Hu Tao spoke, her voice was very calm, unlike the liveliness she displayed when facing Yun Jin.

Mu Xian looked at Hu Tao, thought for a while, and then realized what Hu Tao was saying.

Nodding blankly, Hu Tao led Mu Xian toward the Jade Capital Platform. The two did not say a word along the way.

They remained silent, and before they even reached Yujingtai, Hu Tao stopped in her tracks.

Looking up, I saw a red figure walking down the stone steps.

The figure looked somewhat familiar to Mu Xian. When he saw who it was, Mu Xian thought about leaving.

But in the end, Mu Xian still didn't leave. However, he moved his body behind Hu Tao, deliberately reducing his presence.

"I'm guessing you're Yanfei, Liyue's top legal consultant, right?"

Upon hearing the voice, Yan Fei, who was in a daze, looked at the girl in front of her.

"Eh? Yes, that's me. May I ask who you are?"

"My name is Hu Tao, the 77th head of the Hall of Rebirth. Today I'd like to inquire about some issues related to the laws of Liyue."

"Legal advice?"

The word "law" lifted Yan Fei's spirits, and the frustration that had been weighing on her heart dissipated considerably.

"Commercial disputes, civil mediation, criminal litigation—whatever you want to consult, no problem, I'm an expert in everything."

"That, of course, is the rumor circulating in Liyue right now, and this rumor has caused great losses to the Hall of Rebirth."

"I think I've heard the rumors before. I initially thought it was just a matter of personal reputation being damaged, but I didn't expect it to have caused economic losses."

"That's right, that's right, it was a financial loss, and it also left a deep psychological scar on me..."

"Spreading false information in Liyue, causing damage to the reputation and mental well-being of others, and causing economic losses through unfair business practices... Hmm... it seems that it involves more than just the Liyue Business Codex."

...

As they chatted, the two girls finally felt their legs getting sore from standing, so they found a place to sit down.

Yan Fei sat down and then noticed that there was a boy next to Hu Tao.

Out of politeness, he glanced at Mu Xian briefly, but froze when he saw his face, his excited expression instantly turning to ice.

"Mu...Mu Xian?"

Muttering to herself, Yan Fei was about to approach, but a sense of fear arose in her heart, and she froze in place.

"Yanfei? Hello? Hello!"

Hu Tao's sudden approach startled Yan Fei, who then hurriedly apologized to Hu Tao.

"I'm so sorry, I was distracted while I was working."

As she spoke, Yan Fei finally came to her senses: "But don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter properly for you, and the consultation price can be reduced appropriately."

"Lower the price?!"

These words seemed to please Hu Tao: "I knew my judgment wouldn't be wrong. Yan Fei is definitely the best legal consultant in Liyue."

Yan Fei hadn't felt anything when she heard these words before, but now she felt a little embarrassed.

He scratched his head, his eyes involuntarily turning to Mu Xian.

"Master Hu, I wonder who this little brother who's always following you is...?"

Without saying a word, Mu Xian stood up, his fingers, hidden in his robe, loosening their grip on the bracelet.

"Master, I want to go for a walk to clear my head."

Mu Xian didn't look at Yan Fei, nor did he wait for Hu Tao's response, and left on his own.

Hu Tao could sense that the atmosphere suddenly became awkward after Mu Xian left.

Turning to look at Yan Fei, the girl in front of him seemed to be lost in some kind of memory, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes from time to time.

"He's an employee of our Rebirth Hall, his name is Hu Muxuan..."

Hu Tao looked at Yan Fei, about to pull Yan Fei back from her memories, but found that Yan Fei seemed to be looking at her.

"I have a pretty good idea of ​​the specifics, but I still need to investigate further."

Yan Fei said with undisguised seriousness, "Don't worry, I will absolutely, positively find out what really happened."

...

Mu Xian walked through the pond filled with lotus pods and lotus flowers, and then sat down in another corner of the square below Yujingtai.

The sunlight just didn't reach this corner, making it exceptionally cool.

Mu Xian sat idly for a while, then took out a straw doll from his bosom, tightly gripping its head, but hesitated to make a move.

"Mu Xian, do you know that the law is not meant to bind, but to protect?"

In a daze, Mu Xian seemed to have returned to the Li Yue of the past, where the girl looked almost the same as she did now, earnestly admonishing herself.

"Even if you are a disciple of the Guhua Sect, you cannot harm people at will. Everything should be left to the law."

"In ancient Liyue, there were no laws. If one person killed another, the murdered person's son would kill the murdered person in revenge, and that person's son would kill the murdered person's son..."

"The storybooks often say that revenge only leads to more revenge. Hatred never disappears because of revenge; it only grows bigger because of revenge."

"Therefore, the Emperor created laws: debts must be repaid, and murderers must pay with their lives. People can find the justice they seek within the law!"

justice...

Frustration arose again in his heart. When Mu Xian came to his senses, he realized that he had crushed the head of the straw man without even realizing it.

After staring at the straw figure in his hand for a long time, Mu Xian silently put it away.

"Big Group Sparrow~"
