Genshin Impact: Ningguang is still a pitiful little thing, I invested in her.

But the hands hidden under the table clenched silently and trembled violently.

“Fang Xun isn’t in Daoqi, because I’m looking for him too,” Lei Yingdian replied softly.

Gan Yu blinked in surprise: "General, is the General also looking for Fang Xun?"

"It used to be, but it's not anymore."

Lei Yingdong smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand, I don't have any relationship with Fang Xun, we're not even close, we're just nodding acquaintances. It was the Divine Child who asked me to help find him."

Upon hearing this answer, Fang Xun felt a chill run down his spine.

Ying's answer signifies a complete severing of ties with him, a clean break from which they will never see each other again.

"So that's how it is." Gan Yu, who was kept in the dark, did not know the implied meaning of these words.

"Since Fang Xun is not in Inazuma, I shall take my leave. General, thank you for your help during this time."

She stood up to leave. She had come to Inazuma to find Fang Xun, and now that Inazuma was excluded, there was no need for her to stay any longer.

"Secretary Ganyu."

Lei Yingdian, standing behind Gan Yu, suddenly called out to her.

Gan Yu turned around, puzzled: "General, is there anything else?"

Lei Yingdong hesitated for a moment: "You and Fang Xun must have a very good relationship, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to find him."

"I envy your relationship. I wish you can find your fiancé soon."

In the end, Lei Yingdian chose to bear everything alone.

She didn't reveal her past with Fang Xun because she knew it would be pointless and would only cause another person in the world to be heartbroken.

"Thank you, General. I appreciate your kind words."

Gan Yu left, leaving Lei Yingdian alone in the tea room.

She sat alone at the tea table, lost in thought.

He was probably thinking that if he hadn't met Gan Yu today, he didn't know how much longer he would have been kept in the dark.

Or perhaps, the person she longs for isn't the only one by her side.

So, were all those vows of eternal love just empty promises?

Is wanting to live with her a lie?

Everything is fake; not a single word is true.

Lei felt an emptiness in his heart, a feeling he couldn't quite describe.

Fang Xun didn't want to watch such a scene and lowered his head in guilt.

"Who's hiding behind the screen?" Lei Yingdong stood up alertly, and his naginata appeared instantly.

"Shadow..." Fang Xun was about to speak when Wu Xiang's blade came straight at him.

He then returned to the beach, his clothes still soaking wet.

Chapter 531: Eighteen That Year, Standing Like a Minion

Looking at his wet clothes, Fang Xun immediately realized that he had returned to the beginning of the dream.

He guessed that the dream created by Yae no Miko was similar to a simulation game, with multiple branching endings.

To break the infinite loop, we must find a happy ending for everyone.

But how can we achieve a good outcome?

It seems impossible to go to Inazuma Castle again, because stepping into the castle will forcibly trigger the scene where Lei meets Gan Yu.

Where else can we go if not to the city?

Fang Xun recalled the details of the previous ending, where Gan Yu traveled by boat to Daoqi and requested to meet General Lei Dian.

Perhaps this time we can start with Gan Yu and get her to give up the idea of ​​watching Lei's movie.

Thinking of this, Fang Xun skillfully started a fire on the spot.

Sure enough, not long after, the patrolling Shogunate troops saw black smoke rising from the fields and immediately rushed over.

"You are..." The Shogunate soldier stared at Fang Xun, his expression one of utter astonishment.

He never imagined that Fang Xun, whom the general had been searching for so desperately, was actually in the desolate wilderness.

"I am Fang Xun." Fang Xun knew what the Shogunate army wanted to say, so they all started to answer.

"Excuse me, can I borrow your clothes?"

A moment later, Fang Xun changed back into the clothes of the Shogunate army, took a long spear, and went out.

This time, his destination was the dock.

...

Inazuma, the pier on the outlying island.

When Fang Xun arrived, a huge ship that blotted out the sky was slowly approaching the shore.

The entire hull and the high-hanging sails are printed with the emblem of rocks and scales, all indicating that this large ship comes from Liyue.

"Gan Yu should be on this ship, but how can I get in touch with her?"

It should be noted that Gan Yu is the chief secretary of Yuehaiting, and has worked diligently for a thousand years.

She holds a very important place in the hearts of all the people of Liyue. Even now, having moved overseas, her influence remains undiminished.

Looking at Fang Xun, he was wearing a suit of armor from the Shogunate army, but it was only the lowest rank.

It can be perfectly described as, "At eighteen, I stood like a lackey."

The two people are now so different in status and position that they can't even have a conversation, let alone any interaction.

Just as Fang Xun was thinking of a solution, someone patted him on the shoulder.

That was a high-ranking member of the Shogunate army; his armor and weapons were far superior, and judging from his attire, he was probably the leader here.

"You've come at the right time. There's a very important person from Liyue on this ship, and we've decided that you will accompany him throughout his journey." The leader of the Shogunate Army solemnly assigned the task.

"Ah I?"

Fang Xun was slightly stunned. He was still thinking about how to seize this opportunity, but unexpectedly, the opportunity was presented to him on its own initiative.

"Of course. Wasn't your grandfather from Liyue? Then you're practically half a Liyue person too. They say when fellow countrymen meet, their eyes well up with tears. If you're in charge of receiving them, the important person certainly won't make things difficult for you."

The shogunate army leader spoke with great conviction, offering no reason whatsoever to refuse.

"Understood." Fang Xun nodded and walked to the front of the large ship to wait silently.

Before long, Gan Yu slowly appeared before everyone.

When she got closer, Fang Xun realized that she didn't look very well and her face showed signs of fatigue.

This made Fang Xun feel as if his heart was being torn apart, and his eyes were filled with heartache.

You should know that Gan Yu has the bloodline of a Qilin flowing through her body. She is half human and half immortal. Even if she works all night long, she will not feel tired in the slightest.

But now, her face shows signs of the weariness that only humans experience when traveling.

The culprit who caused all of this is standing right in front of Gan Yu.

"Gan Yu...Master," Fang Xun greeted.

"Hello."

Gan Yu did not realize that the shogunate soldier in front of her was the person she had been longing for, and simply responded politely.

"Please inform the General that I wish to see her and inquire about Fang Xun."

Chapter 532 My children and I are waiting for him to come home

In the previous ending, the messenger relayed Gan Yu's words to Lei Yingdian, leading to a fierce battle between two kings, in which Lei Yingdian ultimately bore the brunt of everything alone.

Now that the story has restarted, Fang Xun has transformed into an NPC who relays messages between the two, which will definitely rewrite the course of the story.

"Lord Gan Yu, are you trying to find out about Fang Xun in Daoqi? I'm sorry, we've been looking for him here as well."

As Fang Xun spoke, he pointed to the bulletin board not far away, where there was a missing person notice about him.

To be precise, it was a stack of missing person notices, because every now and then a new one would be placed on top of it.

This also shows that Inazuma has been persistently searching for Fang Xun and has spent a long time on it.

"So it seems he's not in Inazuma either... Okay, I understand, thank you." Gan Yu thanked her politely.

"You don't need to report to the general for me; we'll be leaving soon."

Gan Yu traveled a long way to Daoqi solely to find out about Fang Xun.

Since Fang Xun is not in Daoqi, there is naturally no need for her to stay any longer.

Even though her good friend Yae no Miko was in Inazuma, she had no intention of visiting her.

After all, she was completely focused on Fang Xun and had no interest in seeing her friends.

"Lord Gan Yu...do you still want to go looking for Fang Xun?" Fang Xun couldn't bear to look at Gan Yu's lonely figure.

As soon as she finished speaking, Gan Yu paused for a moment.

"Of course, I will keep looking for him until I find him."

Gan Yu's voice was still soft and gentle, but her tone revealed a firmness.

She may appear gentle and weak, but she is actually very strong inside. Once she makes up her mind to do something, she will never turn back.

"Why?" Fang Xun asked, puzzled.

"He clearly left a letter telling you not to look for him, so why did you still do it?"

"How do you know about the letters?" Gan Yu asked in return.

Having worked at Yuehaiting for a thousand years, she is able to keenly detect any suspicious points.

Why do the shogunate soldiers in front of us seem to know so much about what happened to Fang Xun?
