Genshin Impact: The traitor doesn't even let his senior sister go

Song Yinjian turned around helplessly and replied, "Okay, Uncle Lishui."

When he turned around again, Shen He had already walked into his house with light lotus steps and closed the door.

Song Yinjian shook his head slightly, then turned and walked towards the kitchen to start preparing for today's dinner.

Not long after, Zhongli also walked into the courtyard.

The three of them sat together, drinking and chatting. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, just like usual.

The moon is at its highest point in the sky, and the watery moonlight pours down, interweaving with the aroma of tea rising from the house, creating a quiet and leisurely atmosphere.

Zhongli Qian took a sip of tea and frowned slightly, "Boss Song, the quality of the Shenyu Xian Tea you brewed today is slightly inferior to the previous ones."

Upon hearing this, Song Yinjian said unhappily, "Emperor, I'm not a tea producer. I've already finished drinking that exquisite tea. Besides, I gave you half of it before."

A hint of embarrassment instantly appeared on Zhongli's calm face. "I'm sorry for not considering this matter carefully."

Song Yinjian picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then said calmly, "Starting tomorrow, I will begin preparing for the final farewell ceremony."

Zhongli was startled when he heard this, and replied softly, "Okay."

After that, there was a silence between the two.

When the tea in the cup was almost finished, Song Yinjian suddenly asked, "Emperor, you will participate in this ceremony of sending off the gods, right?"

Chapter 282: The Final Farewell Ceremony

In the dim light of morning, Song Yinjian held Gan Yu's soft little hand and strolled on the quiet street.

His steps were a little unsteady, and it was obvious that he was at a disadvantage in the "exchange and communication" with his senior sister last night.

Soon, the two of them stepped into the courtyard of the immortal rituals.

As soon as he came in, he saw Shen He standing in front of his door, smiling, looking meaningfully at Gan Yu, whose face was as beautiful as a peach.

Gan Yu sensed Shen He's gaze, and her face flushed instantly.

She hurriedly pulled her hand back from Song Yinjian's hand and lowered her head like a frightened deer.

Seeing this, Song Yinjian chuckled, then quickly walked towards the kitchen to prepare today's breakfast.

After he left, Shen He walked up to Gan Yu, gently held her hand, and said sincerely, "Senior Sister, we must always be together."

Ganyu raised her head, eyes gleaming with emotion, and nodded seriously, "Yes."

Soon, Song Yinjian prepared a sumptuous breakfast in the kitchen.

When he walked out of the kitchen with the steaming breakfast, he found Shen He and Gan Yu sitting closely together. The two seemed to have become more intimate, as if they had a tacit understanding.

Then, the three of them sat together to enjoy breakfast in a warm and pleasant atmosphere.

After breakfast, Song Yinjian hurried out to prepare for the final farewell ceremony.

In the following half month, he was busy almost every day, working hard day and night.

Occasionally, you have to deal with the "unsatisfied" witch.

After his efforts, the preparations for the ceremony of sending off the gods were finally completed successfully.

.................................................. .........

Amid the eager anticipation of countless Liyue citizens, the day of the God-Sending Ceremony finally arrived as scheduled.

At dawn, the sky was still hazy, but the area in front of Yujing Terrace was already crowded with people.

People gathered here, waiting for the start of the ceremony to send off the gods.

At this moment, in the center of Yujingtai Square, Song Yinjian was wearing a dark green Taoist robe with fluttering sleeves, like a banished immortal descending to earth.

He had a solemn expression, an arrogant posture, and held a yellow and black magic bell in his hand.

The magic bell has a simple and elegant shape, with smooth and natural lines. It is surrounded by fairy power and flashes with faint golden light.

It is Gui Zhong's masterpiece - the Cleansing Dust Bell.

Beside Song Yinjian was the ethereal-looking Ge Chen. Her gaze was fixed on the Dichen Bell, her eyes full of nostalgia.

Behind the two of them, many immortals such as Xianyun and Lishui were lined up in an orderly manner, each of them having an immortal look and extraordinary aura.

Further on, there was a group of immortal disciples led by Gan Yu.

The people who came to watch were all shocked by the grand scene, and they were convinced that Gui Zhong had an extraordinary relationship with the Emperor.

About half an hour later, the sun rose and the ceremonial procession in front of Yujing Terrace was bathed in the golden morning light.

Suddenly, there was a commotion among the crowd.

A man in a platinum robe walked towards the ceremonial team with steady and firm steps.

The man had a handsome and gentle face, and his eyes were deep and peaceful, like the twinkling stars in the night sky.

He exuded a noble and sacred aura that made people want to bow down and worship him. When the emperor and his people saw him coming, they all knelt and kowtowed to express their deep awe and respect.

However, before their knees touched the ground, a majestic yet gentle voice rang out in their minds: "No need to salute!"

Everyone present stopped their actions immediately.

Zhongli walked steadily to Song Yinjian's side, tilted his head slightly, and nodded to him.

Song Yinjian's expression suddenly became stern, and then he raised the Dust-Cleansing Bell in his hand and shook it gently.

Suddenly, a clear and pleasant bell sound rang out, ringing for a long time, and the lingering sound lingered in the air.

After hearing the ringtone, everyone seemed to be enveloped by a warm and gentle power, and their hearts instantly felt calm and peaceful.

Song Yinjian then took a deep breath and declared aloud, "Although Lord Guizhong has fallen, his grace still lingers on Liyue, like the spring sun melting snow, nourishing all living things.

Today, with the kindness of heaven and earth and the brightness of the sun and moon, I respectfully perform the ceremony of sending off the gods with the utmost sincerity.

Hereby, I declare the farewell ceremony of the Lord of the Dead, and begin——"

After saying this, he rang the dust-cleansing bell again and stepped forward.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the ceremonial procession passed through the bustling streets of Liyue.

Countless people spontaneously followed the ceremonial team, gradually forming a long, winding dragon, and marched towards the north of the city.

At noon, the ceremonial team finally arrived at the newly built Guizhong Temple.

This temple is located to the north of the vast Guili Plain and overlooks the prosperous Liyue Harbor to the south. It is majestic and magnificent.

Song Yinjian led the ceremonial team into the temple gate.

As soon as you enter the door, what catches your eye are the stone tablets carefully crafted from huge green jade.

These stone tablets are tall and heavy, with golden inscriptions recording Gui Zhong's life story and the sincere praises of many immortals for her.

Further back, there is not a building like the "wishing tree" or "fortune bell" in other fairy temples, but a vast sea of ​​​​glazed lilies.

As the breeze blows, ripples appear on the sea of ​​flowers, and the elegant fragrance of flowers fills the air, making people feel like they are in a dreamland.

Zhongli walked in this sea of ​​flowers and his pace slowed down unconsciously.

Suddenly, I was back to that afternoon a thousand years ago.

Gui Zhong smiled like a flower, handed the Chains of the World to himself, and then unilaterally announced an alliance with himself.

If I had been more proactive back then, perhaps I wouldn't have sighed alone every time the glazed lilies bloomed. In the middle of the Zhongli Guizhong flower sea stood a massive palace, and inside it was a statue of a young girl.

She was wearing a loose dress with long sleeves covering her slender hands. Her eyes were lively, and there was a hint of playfulness and cuteness in her gentleness.

Chapter 283: The Final Farewell Ceremony

"It seems I can't go on with you. Forget about the lock."

Gui finally smiled somewhat dejectedly and slowly turned into extremely fine dust.

Zhongli looked up at the statue of Guizhong, his deep eyes filled with melancholy and reminiscence.

"Emperor, burn incense!"

Song Yinjian held a stick of incense in both hands, walked in front of Zhongli with steady steps, and spoke respectfully.

The emperor nodded in thanks, picked up the incense, lit it, and inserted it into the incense burner in front of the statue, then bowed slightly to the statue.

Immediately afterwards, the members of the ceremonial team came forward one by one to burn incense.

After the incense was burned, Ganyu led a group of immortal disciples to pay homage to the statue of the God of the Middle Way.

Afterwards, the ceremonial procession walked out of the temple and headed towards the ceremonial venue outside.

I saw a grand and magnificent stage standing on an open plain.

Soon, the ceremonial team arrived at the stage smoothly.

Next, Song Yinjian presided over the ceremony to praise and commemorate Guizhong, the gentle and kind god.

After the ceremony, the ceremony of sending off the gods officially entered the second half.

Song Yinjian slowly walked to the center of the stage.

Before he could even open his mouth, thunderous cheers erupted from below the stage.

Song Yinjian looked at the densely packed crowd below the stage, a gentle smile on his face, and said loudly, "Dear family, long time no see! I miss you so much!"

When the audience heard this, they burst into cheerful laughter, and the atmosphere on the scene instantly became relaxed and happy.

In the distance, the Great Compassionate Tree King looked at this scene and a smile appeared on his lips.

She turned to look at Zhongli beside her and exclaimed sincerely, "Master Song is truly amazing. He can close the distance between him and the people with just a few simple words."

Zhongli nodded slightly, his eyes filled with recognition and admiration. "Throughout the millennia of Liyue, talented individuals abound, but never before has anyone been so consistently close to the people as he is."

King Dacishu thought of the wise men of the Order of the Lord who chased power and knowledge, and he could not help but sigh: "There are very few people in this world who do not forget their original aspirations."

At this moment, cheers even louder than before suddenly rang out from the audience.

Lishui came onto the stage and brought benefits to all the audience, casting a spell to make a drizzle mixed with fairy dew fall.

This item has become a "traditional item" in Liyue's ceremony of sending off immortals and gods.

Almost all the people were well prepared. They took out the pots and ladles they had prepared in advance and went to collect the divine rain happily.

After giving out this wave of benefits, Song Yinjian turned around and walked backstage, gently took Gan Yu's hand, and returned to the stage with her.

The audience saw the two people who looked like a fairy couple and gave them applause and blessings.

Song Yinjian took out a dark golden stone lock from his Qiankun bag. The stone lock had a simple and elegant shape and exuded a mysterious aura.

He held up the stone lock and showed it to everyone, “This is the earthly lock, a gift from the God of the End to the Emperor.

In ancient Liyue, the gift of a lock between a man and a woman signified their unwavering loyalty in love.

Then, he gracefully extended his hand to Ganyu, a gentle smile on his face, "I gave my senior sister a jade locket of the same design yesterday. I hope our relationship will last forever."

As soon as the words fell, the people turned their eyes to Ganyu.

She raised her jade hand slightly, and on a red rope was strung a jade lock shaped like a lock of the mortal world.

The jade lock emits a warm luster under the sunlight.

When many young women saw the jade lock in Ganyu's hand, their eyes lit up and their hearts were moved.

There was a glint of desire in their eyes, and they imagined themselves wearing the jade locket.

Some impatient ones even couldn't wait to ask loudly: "How much is this?"

Seeing this, Song Yinjian didn't keep the secret and announced directly, "The Earthly Jade Lock will be officially sold at the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce tomorrow. The price is 200,000 Mora."

Most people think it is a bit expensive, but it is completely acceptable. After all, this is the same jewelry that Emperor Jun and Gui Zhong wore as a token of their love, and it is of great significance.

Just when they secretly made up their minds, Gan Yu suddenly said softly: "Junior brother, it's a bit expensive."

Upon hearing this, Song Yinjian turned to look at Gan Yu and asked gently, "So, Senior Sister, how much do you think it should be?"

Ganyu hesitated for a moment, bit her lip subconsciously, and said a price that she thought was reasonable: "Twenty thousand Mora."

After saying that, she lowered her head, somewhat afraid to look directly into Song Yinjian's eyes.

When the audience heard the price, they were instantly shocked.

They were extremely excited and couldn't wait to go to Feiyun Chamber of Commerce to buy this inexpensive and high-quality jade lock.

But when Song Yinjian heard the price, he was speechless.
