I'm not feeling right when I transform into Keqing

"Thank you."

After saying thank you, Keqing stood up.

"Now that your doubts have been answered, I wonder if you can answer them for me as well."

After hearing Zhong Li's words, Keqing slowly sat back down.

"Is Zhong Li confused too?"

Zhong Li smiled and said, "Any creature that can think will have confusions. I'm sure that even the Rock King will have many confusions."

"So, your confusion is..."

"I forgot someone." Zhong Li whispered, frowning, as if trying to recall something, "She is a very good friend of mine, but I can't remember her name."

If they are looking for someone, Keqing can indeed do the job, because as a Seven Star, she can look through the registration list of the General Affairs Department.

She can find them no matter whether they are Liyue people or foreigners in Liyue.

Moreover, Zhong Li had just directly told her such an important matter, so she naturally would not refuse.

"If you're looking for someone, I can indeed help." Keqing nodded.

Seeing this, Zhong Li also showed a comfortable smile: "That's great."

"I wonder if the person Mr. Zhong Li is looking for is from Liyue?" Keqing asked.

Zhong Li nodded: "Yes."

Since he is from Liyue, the scope is narrowed a lot.

"And the gender?"

"Female."

Keqing nodded and made a note of it.

"Does that look impress you?"

After thinking for a while, Zhong Li shook his head: "It's very vague, I can't remember it clearly, I only remember her heroic figure in battle."

Fight? That's the one who has the Eye of God.

But just this much information is still not enough.

Keqing frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you remember the place and time when you last met her?"

If we can determine the time and place where Zhong Li's good friend, whose name he has forgotten, appeared, the scope will be greatly narrowed again.

"The location... should be Dihuazhou, the Dihuazhou at that time." Zhong Li said.

Ogihuashu?

Keqing was slightly puzzled. The retreat of a knight like that was in line with the identity of a warrior, but she continued to ask, "What about the time?"

"Time..." Zhong Li looked at the jade bracelet on Keqing's hand, "Maybe it was yesterday, or maybe it was three thousand years ago."

“Ah? How many years ago?” Keqing asked with a question mark face.

Zhong Li smiled: "I don't remember clearly, but maybe... she is in Mondstadt now."

Why are you in Mond again?

“But didn’t you say she was from Liyue?” Keqing was puzzled.

"She is from Liyue." Zhong Li nodded, "But she also deeply loves the wind of freedom, just as the wind also deeply loves her."

Zhong Li said, looking into the distance, there was the trapezoidal stone gate of Tianheng Mountain.

"I think I might be able to find her there, but unfortunately I can't get away, otherwise I would have gone to take a look."

Keqing followed Zhong Li's gaze into the distance: "You mean... your friend might be in Mondstadt now?"

"That should be the case." Zhong Li nodded, "And the person named Ying I just mentioned seems to be looking for someone, and is also there."

What about the traveler? In that case, Keqing should go back and ask her and she should be able to get more information.

"Did your friend commit a serious crime?" Keqing suddenly asked.

Keqing was also very curious about who Zhong Li was so worried about.

Zhong Li shook his head slightly.

"Is that your lover?"

Slightly surprised, Zhong Li didn't expect Keqing to ask such a question, but she still shook her head: "No."

Keqing was silent, then looked up: "Then... could it be a love rival?"

Zhong Li laughed dumbly: "When did Keqing become so gossipy?"

"Uh."

I touched my cheek, feeling a little embarrassed.

Keqing also felt that she was asking too many questions.

"Although I can't remember the name of my old friend, I still remember that she was also an extremely upright and brave person. Even if there were thousands of mountains and rivers and countless meteorites in front of her, they could not hinder her steps."

"So powerful?" Keqing was surprised, but then frowned. The person Zhong Li was talking about seemed to be a big shot, but she had no impression of him at all.

Could this be the imaginary friend in Zhong Li’s mind?

Zhong Li smiled slightly and put his hands behind his back: "Then, the matter of finding my old friend will be left to Lord Yuheng."

"I have to prepare as well. The Immortal Invitation Ceremony will be held in a week. If I don't attend such a major event that happens once a year in Liyue, I will inevitably feel regretful."

Chapter 78: Ningguang's Routine

After leaving the Wangsheng Hall, Keqing went to Chihu Rock without stopping.

Zhong Li asked her to help find someone, and since Keqing agreed, she would certainly not go back on her word.

And because Mondstadt is sealed, Keqing will definitely go there again.

But just as Zhong Li said, the annual ceremony of inviting the immortals was about to begin. At this critical juncture, Keqing would naturally not leave Liyue Harbor.

However, Keqing was also very interested in the traveler from a foreign land who could control two elements without the Eye of God as mentioned by Zhong Li.

We walked towards Wanmin Hall. As it was past dinner time, there were not many diners in the hall.

Keqing easily found Master Mao, but when Keqing asked him if he had seen a blonde girl named Ying, Master Mao nodded and said that his daughter was with her these days. His daughter cooked new dishes and the little girl would be the reviewer.

However, when Keqing asked to see her, Master Mao said that Xiangling and Na Ying had left to find new ingredients, and he didn't know where they were going.

But if nothing unexpected happens, he should be back before the Xiandian Ceremony.

So Keqing had no choice but to give up asking the traveler about his opinion and went straight back to the Qun Yu Pavilion.

……

……

“Oh? Do you think Grandma Ping is willing to help us?” Ningguang was surprised when she heard Keqing’s retelling.

"Yes." Keqing nodded. "She said she would help us keep an eye on the immortals who are staying at Jueyunjian and Wangshu Inn."

“Is that so…” Ningguang pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: “That would save us a lot of work.”

It seems that Ningguang, like her, also does not have too many doubts about Grandma Ping.

"Besides this, did Grandma Ping have anything else to say?" Ningguang asked.

"Nothing."

Keqing lied because she felt that if she really said what Grandma Ping said, it might cause chaos.

However, after Keqing finished answering, Ningguang's wine-red eyes were still looking at her, and there seemed to be a hint of teasing in her eyes.

"Is it really gone?"

Keqing frowned slightly: "Would I lie to you?"

"But your eyes seem to be lying." Ningguang said softly, with a trace of regret on her face, "Aqing, you still don't trust me?"

Keqing was very calm and was not moved by Ningguang's acting: "My eyes? I think they are normal."

"So how can I see a little green?"

"green?"

Keqing tilted her head to look at a mirror beside her. Her face in the mirror looked the same as usual.

There is no green in the eyes, which is completely normal.

However, green is the color of the wind element. Could it be that Ningguang felt it?

Keqing looked at Ningguang hesitantly.

Ningguang also smiled: "You don't think that you haven't changed at all since you came back, do you?"

She didn't quite understand what Ningguang meant, but at this time Ningguang had already slowly walked in front of her.

She slowly walked behind Keqing, then stretched out her fingers and touched Keqing's back.

Then he put his finger into his mouth.

Through the mirror, Keqing saw what Ningguang did.

She had no other thoughts except confusion.

Is this guy out of his mind?

“The taste is much lighter…”

"What is that, a smell?" Keqing was really shocked. Is this person a monster? How could he taste something?

“That smell.”

Ningguang’s words made Keqing freeze in place.

“This extra flavor should be that, right?” Ningguang asked.

"That? What that?"

Keqing still wanted to get away with it, but Ningguang had obviously anticipated this.

She walked up to Keqing, leaned against the table, looked at Keqing who was sitting motionless on the chair, and spoke.

"You should know that thunderstorm wind has a different smell. Not to mention that I often exchange letters with that person, and I remember the smell of the wind on her body very clearly."

"Also, when you speak, there is also a breath of wind in your voice. Although it is much better than before, it is like electricity piercing people, and it has become very comfortable, but it has lost its former sharpness."

Keqing realized at this time that she could no longer hide it.

Ningguang's methods are the best even among the Seven Stars, and it is almost impossible for Keqing to hide them from her.

Maybe Ningguang knew it the first time she saw her when she came back.

"Because...something unexpected happened." Keqing said, not knowing if it was an explanation.

But Ningguang shook her head, then reached out and touched her cheek, her slender, white index finger sliding down her cheek.

It didn't stop until it slid to Keqing's collarbone.

"Most of your clothes, including the one you're wearing, were bought by me... but now they have a different smell."

“Didn’t you force it to be customized for me and stuffed into my mouth?” Keqing glanced at Ningguang.

He also said that this trendy-looking clothing is not only good-looking, but also has a very good protective effect.

Although this is the fact, it is also the reason why Keqing keeps wearing it.

But it would be too bullying for Ningguang to bring this up at this time.

“But you still wore it, didn’t you?” Ningguang smiled, with a hint of ill intent, “Besides, you actually liked it.”
