Genshin Impact: The Vision of Gods Shines Again

But despite being called a bear, it looked more like a rag doll, its silly appearance making Mu Xian unrecognizable as he poked it.

The silly little bear watched as Mu Xian poked his brow with his finger, then tilted his head.

"????"

Mu Xian raised an eyebrow, inexplicably feeling a sense of closeness between this body and the little bear.

But this little bear is so cute, let me poke it again.

"Guoba, where are you?"

The crisp sound coming from the street made Mu Xian freeze in his tracks.

Looking up, a familiar girl's figure appeared before Mu Xian.

Chapter 31 Please Look at Me Carefully

The sound was accompanied by a crisp bell ring, and a figure appeared in the distance behind the bear.

“??”

The little bear sensed someone behind it, awkwardly turned around, and raised its paw upon seeing the person: "??"

"Guoba, don't run around like that next time."

Xiangling put her hands on her hips, and although it sounded like a reprimand, there was no hint of a reprimand in her tone.

"I'm sorry, Guoba always likes to run around, if... eh?"

The familiar face made Xiangling's thoughts freeze, and the words she was about to say were abruptly cut off.

"Wood...wood..."

Staring at that familiar face, it seemed to overlap with the Mu Xian in my memory.

Xiangling wanted to say something, but her trembling voice prevented her from uttering a complete sentence.

As Xiangling gradually regained consciousness, she suddenly remembered her previous humiliation.

"sorry."

Xiangling, regaining her senses, quickly apologized and then turned and left without a second thought.

The little bear named Guoba watched its departing companions, then tilted its head to look at Mu Xian.

"????"

The same "cha-cha" sound as always, but this time Mu Xian could hear the meaning behind Xiao Xiong's words.

"It's alright." Mu Xian couldn't help but poke Guoba's forehead again: "Go keep Xiangling company."

Mu Xian's words did not make Guoba leave immediately; instead, Guoba suddenly opened its short arms and hugged Mu Xian.

Mu Xian was startled when he was suddenly hugged, and the next moment he thought of breaking free.

But before making a move, Guoba had already released Muxian and chased after Xiangling.

Is this... considered revenge for poking its forehead?

With this in mind, Mu Xian lost the desire to continue sitting in the corner and got up to return to Kuai Dao Chen's shop.

Hu Tao and Yan Fei were still sitting in their original seats, but now they both had their brows furrowed and were completely different from their previous enthusiastic selves.

Mu Xian glanced indifferently at Yan Fei and asked Kuai Dao Chen for a stool.

Quick-Knife Chen deliberately handed Mu Xian a small stool that was much shorter than the average person's.

The stool in his hand made Mu Xian glance at Quick Knife Chen, and that familiar look made Quick Knife Chen's heart tighten.

For some inexplicable reason, Quick-Knife Chen seemed to see the boy in front of him as his senior brother.

"But how could that be? He must have been driven crazy by the smoke while grilling the fish."

Dispelling his misconceptions, Quick-Knife Chen decided to close up shop as soon as possible.

"What are you thinking about?" Mu Xian, who had moved the stools over, deliberately chose a spot away from Yan Fei.

"Well..."

Hu Tao's tone was frustrated, and she didn't recognize Mu Xian's voice: "I have no clue how to investigate the person spreading the rumors."

As she spoke, her red plum blossom eyes glanced sideways and suddenly caught sight of Mu Xian sitting next to her.

Her previously gloomy expression suddenly vanished, and she quietly distanced herself from Mu Xian.

Hu Tao's attitude towards him these past two days made Mu Xian realize that his words had worked, and Mu Xian began to observe the girl for the first time.

The previous intimacy is gone, and she always deliberately keeps her distance from me.

Mu Xian looked into those eyes, and even though they avoided his gaze, he could still see the restraint and caution in them.

Is this a good idea? Mu Xian wasn't sure.

But I always feel...

Mu Xian remembered Guoba hugging him earlier, raised his right hand from under his robe, and then suddenly stopped.

In Mu Xian's view, there was no Walnut, no Liyue Harbor.

Amidst the swirling snow, he stood in the courtyard, while a silver-haired girl stood holding a knife.

Her bangs, reaching her eyebrows, exude the elegant and refined air of an Inazuma aristocrat, while her ponytail at the back adds a touch of sophistication.

"Confess my feelings...?"

"Mr. Mu Xian, I am really happy."

"But please wait a while, I will definitely give you an answer in a few years."

As the snowflakes fell, the young girl donned her armor as spring arrived.

"The next generation of the final battle needs to be nurtured, and the Kamisato family is gradually declining. All of this... is not the time to talk about love."

Then cherry blossoms fell, and the armored girl holding the chess piece paused with her right hand.

"The current company magistrate can't rely solely on my elder brother. As a young lady of the Kamisato family, I must also set an example. Mr. Mushi, could you give me some more time?"

...

"Wait a little longer, next time I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer, Mr. Mu Xian."

...

"I'm sorry, but my brother... always felt that the two of us weren't a good match."

...

The young girl removed her armor, and her figure dancing under the moonlight concealed unspeakable emotions.

But this time, it was no longer Mu Xian who stood before the girl.

"By the way, traveler, there's one more thing I'd like to do."

I'd like to borrow a little more of your time.

"Please, look at me carefully."

...

"So...that's how it is..."

The scene in his memory gradually faded away, and the bustling sounds of vendors calling out their wares once again reached Mu Xian's ears.

Looking at the somewhat reserved Hu Tao in front of him, Mu Xian lowered his hand and raised his right hand again.

"Actually, I have some clues."

Mu Xian spoke, and his voice attracted the attention of Hu Tao and Yan Fei.

The intense gazes of the two men made Mu Xian look away, and then he told them about what had happened yesterday.

“I met a guy who seemed a bit strange during the funeral.”

"I originally wanted to follow him to see where he was going, but I lost him after he left Liyue Harbor."

Mu Xian's second half of his sentence made the two of them somewhat disappointed, but Mu Xian paused and then added.

"However, I met him once in the Layered Rock Abyss. He was a member of the Thousand Rock Army who was previously dispatched to the Layered Rock Abyss."

This sentence made their eyes light up again.

"The Thousand Rock Army of the Layered Rock Abyss".

Yan Fei stood up and said excitedly, "Let's go to the General Affairs Department now and find out that person's identity."

As he spoke, he looked at Mu Xian with great interest.

Mu Xian frowned, then stood up and left.

Mu Xian's actions startled Yan Fei, leaving her feeling as if a piece of her heart had been emptied.

"But even I, the head of this hall, have no way to investigate the files of the Chiiwa Army in the General Affairs Department."

The sound brought Yan Fei back to her senses, and she stared blankly at Hu Tao.

"Do not worry."

Yan Fei could feel her tone had become much lower: "I know a lot of people in the General Affairs Department, they will help me."

"Really?"

Hu Tao seemed oblivious to Yan Fei's dejection: "But isn't that against the rules?"

"It's the rule..."

Yan Fei was stunned again: "I guess so..."

"But it doesn't matter."

For some reason, Yan Fei perked up again, and something stubborn appeared in her eyes: "We can't check the files, but we can at least look at the photos."

"I just need to ask Sister Gan Yu to show us the photos of the Thousand Rock Army that were sent to the Layered Rock Abyss, that should be fine."

In just a few words, the two finalized what they would do next.

Perhaps only Mu Xian had seen the Thousand Rock Army, which is why Mu Xian had to get involved in this matter.
