Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

"Oh, what a pity."

Su Hao sighed. He could only let Ella, who was cultivating immortal arts on Mount Aozang, test the exquisite bracelet.

“What’s there to regret?” Zhongli looked at Su Hao and said calmly, “This was originally a gift for Ella, so it’s only reasonable to make her the first test subject.”

Hearing Zhongli's words, Su Hao nodded slightly, agreeing with him.

After saying this, Zhongli, who had originally planned to examine the bracelet together, turned and left without hesitation.

As Jiuqi Ren watched Zhongli's retreating figure, seeing that he had already come all this way, he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zhongli, aren't you really going to Mount Aozang to rest for a while?"

"Anyway, it's just a short while. The climb itself doesn't take long, only about ten minutes."

Zhongli simply shook his head and said casually, "I still have things to do in Liyue Harbor. Originally, I came out to see the bracelet testing process."

"Time is running out, I need to return to Liyue Harbor first. You can let me know the status of the bracelet through the chat group."

With that, Zhongli turned and left without the slightest hesitation, as if he had only come out to accompany Su Hao and the others for a walk.

This made Hisa no Shinobu feel a little strange. After all, the bracelet had never been tested on the way. They had already arrived at Mount Okuzang and were able to see Ella test it with their own eyes, but Mr. Zhongli didn't go up.

What's going on? Hisayu was very puzzled; she couldn't understand Mr. Zhongli's behavior.

It's like Mr. Zhongli was about to reach the finish line, but then he ran back to the starting point.

"I'm wondering if Mr. Zhongli has a grudge against the immortals." Jiuqi Ren looked at Su Hao with some helplessness. She was still not quite used to Mr. Zhongli's magical actions.

Although it is said that those with exceptional knowledge often have some eccentricities, it is unclear whether Mr. Zhongli's behavior can be considered an eccentricity or a deliberate choice not to meet the immortals.

Knowing that there are immortals on Mount Aozang, why did Mr. Zhongli not go to see them? Was there any special reason for this?

"Don't worry about it." Su Hao told Jiuqi Ren not to worry too much, as he knew very well why Zhongli didn't go to Mount Aozang.

Because he needs to keep his disguise secret, otherwise, if Zhongli's true identity is discovered by Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun before his retirement...

Hmm... then Zhongli can consider changing his alias.

Because the True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng has a mouth that can't keep secrets. When he talks to his old friends, he can't help but tell them what's going on.

This is why Gan Yu noticed Shen He's subtle expression when she arrived at Mount Aozang earlier.

She couldn't help but suspect that the True Lord of Clouds and Wind might be using her childhood experiences as a story to tell others.

"How can I not care?" Jiuqi Ren rolled her eyes at Su Hao and said helplessly, "After all, Mr. Zhongli always gives me a feeling of being unfathomable. I feel that he is very likely to be the immortal of Liyue."

"However, I don't have any evidence. But since he doesn't meet with other immortals, I'm now wondering if he has a grudge against any immortals."

At this point, Jiuqi Ren looked in the direction Zhongli had left and remarked, "Furthermore, if Mr. Zhongli were the Rock King Emperor, then everything would make sense."

"After all, only the Geo Archon doesn't visit immortals when he's not busy. Most of the time, he's guarding Liyue Harbor."

"He will only come if something major happens, such as the General arriving in Liyue."

"However, if Mr. Zhongli were the Rock King Emperor, his name would be changed to Morax when he joins the group."

"And how could the Geo Archon be so idle? Mr. Zhongli wanders around Liyue Harbor every day, looking like he has nothing to do. He doesn't seem like the Geo Archon who has protected Liyue for thousands of years at all."

Su Hao had his back to Hisagi Shinobu at the moment, and his expression was somewhat complicated, because, well... Hisagi Shinobu had guessed correctly.

It's just that when Zhongli joined the group, his name wasn't Morax, but was forcibly changed to "Zhongli" by the chat group system.

Therefore, neither Raiden Shin nor the Dragon King of the Ragata immediately recognized Zhongli as Morax; they only felt that... this "human" was somewhat similar to Morax.

Trusting the chat group, neither Raiden Shin nor Ruoduo Dragon King suspected anything too much, although Raiden Shin would sometimes tease Zhongli.

"Let's go up Mount Aozang."

Su Hao stopped Jiu Qi from overthinking and took her up Mount Aozang.

After a dozen minutes and several climbs, Su Hao and Jiuqi Ren were quite familiar with Mount Okuzo and knew all the shortcuts very well.

Before long, they reached the top of the mountain, where Shen He was practicing his shooting.

Yes, she really was practicing her shooting. She was stabbing the air repeatedly with the Xizai sword, and she was also holding a talisman that emitted a chilling aura in her hand.

"Ok?"

Seemingly sensing something, Shen He turned around and looked at Su Hao and Jiu Qiren returning. She asked with some surprise, "You guys came back so quickly?"

Clearly, Shen He believed that Su Hao and Jiu Qiren would not return until the evening.

Unexpectedly, the other party returned in just a few hours, and the sun is still high in the sky.

"Yes, the item has been forged." Su Hao nodded slightly in response to Shen He's question. Then, looking at the cave dwelling, he shouted loudly, "True Lord Liuyun Borrowing Wind!"

"What do you want from me?" Inside the cave, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun poked her head out and looked at Su Hao calmly, saying, "I am very busy right now. If there is nothing else, do not call my name."

Clearly, True Monarch Liuyun was busy teaching Ella various immortal arts, yet she showed no impatience towards Su Hao.

“I’ve finished my business. Can you call Ella out? I want to give her a gift.” Su Hao looked at Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun and took out an earth-yellow bracelet with exquisite dragon and phoenix patterns engraved on it.

Su Hao could directly summon Ella through the group chat, but wouldn't that be a blatant disregard for his master, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun?

Therefore, Su Hao planned to ask Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun to summon Ella and let her see the magic artifact.

"A magical artifact?" Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun looked at the magical artifact in Su Hao's hand, her voice tinged with surprise. "It seems you returned to Liyue Harbor to forge a magical artifact for her."

"Hmm... Judging from the elemental fluctuations, it's a defensive magic artifact. Not bad, you've put a lot of thought into it."

As he said this, the crane head of True Lord Liuyun Borrowing Wind shrank back with a whoosh.

Not long after, True Lord Liuyun and Ella, who was wearing different styles of maid outfits, came out. It was clear that Ella's maid outfit was obtained through daily check-ins.

"Master."

When Ella saw Su Hao, she immediately ran over. She looked at the exquisite earthen-yellow bracelet in Su Hao's hand with some surprise.

Ella is someone who pays attention to the chat group all the time. Although she doesn't talk much, she always keeps an eye on things.

Today, Su Hao and Jiu Qiren chatted very little. Ella was wondering why the young master and Ren had spoken so little today.

Looking at the exquisite earthen-yellow bracelet, Ella suddenly recalled the conversation between the young master and the shopkeeper's daughter inside Guiyan Pavilion that day.

The young master wants to forge himself a piece of armor.

P.S.: "Blades of rage, and lots of monthly votes—the more the merrier!"

Chapter 121 The Terrifying Bracelet, the Jade Shield

Looking at the exquisite earthen-yellow bracelet in Su Hao's hand, Ella felt a warm current in her heart. She looked up at her young master, her heart filled with emotion.

He was the one who saved her, and she had only taken care of him for about five years. The young master gave her all the benefits he could, and even if she gave up her whole life, she felt it would never be enough to repay him.

She must work hard to become stronger so that she can help the young master. No matter who the enemy is, she must be able to defeat them head-on.

We will not give the young master a chance to make a move!

At this moment, Ella's heart was filled with determination.

"Ah."

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun looked at Ella, who nodded slightly, feeling that Su Hao had become more pleasing to the eye.

'My mind is no longer in turmoil; on the contrary, it has become more resolute.' Shen He looked at Ella, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Unexpectedly, this junior sister's mindset changed from being confused and chaotic to being so firm in just a few days.

This made Shen He glance at Su Hao. It was all thanks to him; the calming incense lit by his master could only force his junior sister to calm down.

What truly helped Junior Sister break through her mental barriers was the bracelet Su Hao gave her. Was the gift simply too precious?

No, it's because my junior sister has someone who cherishes her so much.

Shen He felt a pang of emotion as she silently observed everything, a sense of enlightenment dawning on her.

She began to understand why she couldn't integrate into Liyue Harbor; it turned out that she lacked people like Su Hao.

"Here you go." Su Hao reached out and took Ella's hand.

At this moment, a slight blush appeared on Ella's fair face. She neither refused nor resisted.

"stop!"

At this moment, True Monarch Liuyun Jiefeng seemed to have thought of something. She immediately broke the atmosphere and said in a very fast tone, "This immortal is going to the cave to find something first. You all stay in this position."

With that, Liu Yun borrowed the flap of Feng Zhenjun's wings and flew towards the cave.

Meanwhile, Kuki Shinobu quietly turned on the group recording function and recorded the scene. It was the first time she had ever seen Ella blush.

It has to be said that... Ella, who usually has a cold face and little emotional fluctuation, had her heart start racing when she was shy.

Although Shinobu Kyuuki knew very well that she was not a woman, she simply had a fondness for beautiful things.

But Ella does look good like this. Hisahi Shinobu doesn't know whether to envy Ella for having a young master like Su Hao, or to envy Su Hao for having such a charming and obedient maid.

Soon, True Monarch Liuyun came out with the commemorative camera. She handed it to Shen He and introduced it with a hint of pride: "This is a little gadget that I specially modified based on Fengdan's commemorative camera."

"He can record the current scene. I think this scene is too rare, so I ask you to pause for a moment."

After she finished speaking, Shen He started operating the phonograph machine. She had used this kind of thing before, so she raised her hand and took a picture of Su Hao holding Ella's hand and putting the bracelet on her wrist.

"Master."

The photo came out of the camera. Shen He glanced at it and looked at Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun, saying, "Why are there pink bubbles and heart marks on it? Is this thing broken?"

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun said with great pride, "As I have already said, this is a specially made commemorative camera, so naturally I have to take it out to take pictures."

The Cloud-Borrowing Wind True Lord was quite fond of her own disciple, and she naturally saw that this scene was very rare, so she took a picture to commemorate it.

If it were anyone else, True Lord Liuyun would not even glance at them, but would only sense that the atmosphere was very subtle, and then flap his wings and leave.

But now, looking at Su Hao and Ella, the two younger ones, although they have only known each other for a short time, both of them are true-hearted immortals like Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun, who have experienced a long period of time.

They are passionate and decisive; once they've determined that you're worth their effort, they will share everything they know without reservation.

"…………"

Hisagi Shinobu leaned forward and glanced at the photo in Shin-haku's hand. She fell into a brief moment of contemplation. Indeed... the photo taken by this phonograph was full of girlish charm.

She was intrigued that True Lord Liuyun would tinker with such trinkets and couldn't help but ask, "True Lord Liuyun, what is this..."
