Seeker of Teyvat

"Shen He—" Paimon flew to Shen He and Bai Wen, "and Miss Ningguang's little follower."

Bai Wen looked at Ying and Paimeng, revealing an expression of realization: "So it was you, no wonder you were able to find such a rare floating stone."

After that, Bai Wen said in a very serious tone: "But I want to correct it again, I am not a follower, I am a secretary."

Paimon chuckled and scratched her head. She didn't care about secretaries or followers. She just wanted to ask if she could win the championship: "Hehe... Secretary sister, we all found this stone together. How is it, isn't it amazing?"

Bai Wen nodded with an expression of admiration: "To be honest, this is the best piece of floating life stone we have received so far."

Then, in Paimon's delighted eyes, he gave her the answer she wanted to hear the most:

"If nothing unexpected happens, this Mingxia Fusheng Stone will be the winner in this category. We will use it as the foundation of the Qun Yu Pavilion and advance the construction work to the next stage."

"Great!" Paimon somersaulted happily in the air.

"By the way, Lord Ningguang has rented some houses nearby. If you want to rest, you can stay there." Bai Wen saw Paimeng's happy expression, smiled slightly, then pointed to the houses not far away, and then said, "I'll take my leave first. As you can see, there is still a lot of work to be done on the construction site."

After saying that, Baiwen left.

After Baiwen left,

Paimeng calmed down his happy mood of victory, then looked at Shen He with admiration in his eyes: "Shen He, when we came here just now, we heard a lot of people praising you!"

Shen He remained indifferent, and didn't seem to care about people praising her: "...Really?"

Paimon was stunned by Shen He's reaction, and then said in confusion: "What a cold reaction! Strange, shouldn't I feel happy at this time?"

After that, he answered his own question and said, "If someone praises Paimon for being great, Paimon will definitely puff out his chest and smile proudly!"

"I've received similar compliments before." Shen He shook her head slightly, with a distant tone in her words. She didn't care about those people, or rather, she didn't like their attitude towards her. "They called me an immortal and were very respectful in front of me, as if I was a long way away from them."

After hearing Shen He's words, Paimeng took it for granted: "But this is what immortals are like! The immortals we have seen before are also unique and completely different from ordinary people."

"But I am not..." Shen He shook his head slightly, unwilling to say anything more.

"Shen He?" Paimeng noticed something strange.

Ying also showed a concerned look: "Are you okay? You seem to be a little uncomfortable?"

"It's okay. Maybe it's because I have consumed a lot of energy since entering the cave, and my body is a little tired." Shen He's face showed some fatigue.

Paimon waved his finger and thought for a moment: "Let me think... Baiwen just said that the houses nearby have been temporarily converted into a hotel. Let's go there and take a rest!"

"Don't worry, I'll just find a secluded place in the wild and meditate for a while."

"No, what if we encounter danger!" Paimeng loudly rejected Shen He's proposal, and then told Shen He his philosophy of life, "When you are hungry, you should eat delicious food. When you are sleepy, you should lie in bed and have a good rest. Don't force yourself."

Ying nodded. On this point, she and Paimon completely agreed: "Paimon is right!"

Shen He was silent for a while, then nodded slowly: "...Okay. I'll remember it."

"Well, that's right." Paimon looked complacent and looked at Ying, "Let's go to the hotel with Shenhe!"

Chapter 345 Shen He

Ying and Paimon took Shen He to a nearby hotel to rest.

It is said to be a hotel, but it was actually renovated by Ningguang after renting a residential building here.

Therefore, the hotel here does not have any business atmosphere, but has an ordinary feeling of being at home.

The group found the innkeeper, who was also the person in charge here.

This is a very enthusiastic middle-aged man. Of course, it may not be that he is enthusiastic about himself, but about the Mora given by Ning Guang.

"How many of you would like to stay at the hotel? What a coincidence! We just happen to have the last two rooms left." The boss greeted them warmly, "My name is Ju'an, I'm the person in charge here. Lord Tianquan asked me to be in charge of accommodation here."

"Qunyu Pavilion was chosen to be renovated here, and there was an endless stream of workers, onlookers, business people, and tea sellers. So business is particularly good today, and there are not many vacancies. Fortunately, a few of them arrived in time."

After being fooled by the boss's words, Paimon immediately became happy: "Great!"

For Paimon, catching up with the last vacancy, catching up with the last banquet, and catching up with the last things, as long as they are not bad things, are all good things and worthy of joy and happiness.

"One of the guest rooms is being cleaned and will be vacant in half an hour. The other one is just left after entering the door." The boss looked at Paimeng's happy expression and also had a happy smile on his face. Paimeng has a house to live in and he has Ningguang's money to earn. It's a win-win situation!

Then, the boss took out two keys: "These are the room keys... Please chat slowly, I will take my leave now."

After saying that, the boss left. He probably still had something to do.

Because only one room was vacant and the other was still being cleaned, Paimeng told Shen He to rest first: "Then Shen He, please go in and rest first. We will wait outside for a while."

"By the way, let's see if there's anything delicious... Hey, just now I saw a customer coming into the store with a huge roasted chicken leg in his hand!"

fluorescent:……

Seeing Ying speechless, Paimeng felt a little embarrassed, but he quickly thought of an excuse: "Let's buy one for Shen He later, and use it as a midnight snack... or breakfast tomorrow!"

"Then I'm going to rest first. If you need anything, you can come to me at any time. I'm a very light sleeper. As long as you knock on the door, I will definitely hear you." Shen He opened the door and entered the room to rest, and specially told Ying.

Ying waved her hand and said, "Have a good rest and see you tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow." Shen He responded before closing the door.

Ying and Paimon looked at the room that was still being cleaned, and then went out to find the stall selling roasted chicken legs.

Because of the construction site of Qun Yu Pavilion, there were a lot of people setting up stalls here. For a while, Ying and Paimon lingered among the stalls.

Paimon had more and more food in his hands,

Until Ying accidentally glanced up the hillside and found a familiar figure.

I don’t know when Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng also came here.

"Hey, isn't that Master Liuyunjiefeng? Why is she here?" Paimeng followed Ying's gaze towards the hillside and saw the familiar giant fairy bird. "Let's go over and take a look!"

Ying and Paimon broke away from the crowd in the market and headed towards the hillside.

Ying has good leg strength, but Paimeng... doesn't need any leg strength at all, she can fly.

After a while, the two of them stood in front of Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng.

Master Liuyunjiefeng still looked like a great fairy bird, but his tone was much better than when they first met: "You have met Shen He, right? How is it? Do you get along well with her?"

Paimeng thought about it, and replied, "It's okay... As expected, Master Liuyun Jiefeng also knows Shen He?"

Master Liuyun Jiefeng gently nodded her bird head: "Of course. Except for Ganyu who has lived in Liyue Harbor for many years, all the existing immortals have more or less had interactions with Shenhe."

"Wow... then, what is Shen He's immortal name?"

From Paimon's point of view, although calling him "Shen He" would make him feel closer, he still felt a little disrespectful. It would be nice to call him by his fairy name.

There was some doubt in the eyes of Master Liuyun Jiefeng: "Immortal name... Why does Shen He have an immortal name?"

Paimon wondered synchronously: "Hey, don't immortals have their own titles?"

Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun then realized that it was Paimeng who misunderstood Shen He as an immortal, and explained: "That's true... but Shen He is a human."

"Oh, so that's how it is... Qin!!!" Paimon nodded, and then suddenly realized that all his guesses along the way were wrong.

Ying, on the other hand, nodded slightly: "Is that really the case?"

Paimon: "Qin, have you guessed it too? So am I the only one who didn't see it?"

Ying smiled and said, "When Daoyi was talking to Shenhe before, it felt like Daoyi was not talking to an immortal, but rather..."

Before Ying could finish her words, she was interrupted by Master Liuyun Jiefeng: "Does it mean that in your opinion, she is different from ordinary humans?"

"Hmm... I feel like she always wants to solve problems with some 'very direct' means..."

"Ha... When I first saw her, she was like this, and she has never changed." True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng glanced at the houses at the foot of the mountain, as if he sensed someone's prying eyes.

However, she did not tell the truth, but told the story of Shen He's childhood: "I picked up Shen He in a cave. I happened to pass by at that time and noticed the smell of the remains of the devil in the cave. I have always been vigilant. Come in and take a look immediately.”

Speaking of how he was always vigilant, Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng was a little proud.

"Shen He is about six years old in the cave. He holds a dagger in his hand and is confronting the monster transformed from the remains of the demon god."

Paimon: "It sounds dangerous..."

True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng nodded, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, as if he was admiring Shen He's bravery: "When I arrived, she had been confronting the monster for several days. Most mortal children are physically and mentally fragile and rely on their parents' protection to survive. But she is different."

"The fact that she was able to survive such a dangerous battle relied not only on her strong willpower, but also on her innate bloodiness and murderous intent."

"After I cleaned up the monster, she refused to relax and pointed the dagger at me, being careful. It wasn't until she was sure that I wouldn't hurt her that she fainted without saying a word."

Paimeng was floating in the air. After hearing this story, he looked a little scared. "That is to say, if Master Liuyunjiefeng hadn't passed by, Shen He might have already..."

True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng shook her head. She didn't think of taking credit for this. "That may not be the case. When I arrived at the scene, I could already feel the devil's resentment gradually dissipating. If the stalemate continues, Shen He will probably be the winner."

"But it's still very dangerous! Why does she have to fight the demon's resentment at such a young age?"

"Well, I guess she also enjoys a share of all the hardships in the world. Seeing that she had nowhere to go, I took her in."

Ying thought for a moment, then looked at Master Liuyunjiefeng: "So the master that Shenhe mentioned is actually..."

"It should be about me. Shen He has a special physique and is a good candidate for practicing immortal arts. I appreciate talents like other immortals and am willing to teach her."

"However, the murderous nature she had shown since childhood has not disappeared as she has grown older. In fact, it has even become stronger..."

"Xue Yue Zhu Yang divined for her and said that she was a lonely star with evil spirits, and would easily hurt her relatives and friends. This is a dangerous situation, and we need to use a red rope to bind her soul to control the murderous nature in her bones and blood."

"After the red string was tied around her neck, she calmed down and her expression became a little dull... Perhaps it was because the red string was so powerful that it suppressed other emotions."

After telling the story of Shen He,

Master Liuyun Jiefeng sighed with some emotion, perhaps compassion or pity. She looked at Ying and Paimeng, and there was a hint of entrustment in her tone: "Meeting in the sea of ​​people is fate. You and Shen He are destined to be together, so please take good care of her."

Paimeng nodded as if he understood, then said, "I understand. So Master Liuyunjiefeng followed you because he was worried about Shenhe?"

Unfortunately, Master Liuyunjiefeng did not admit it, but snorted coldly.

"Humph. How can it be so simple? Liyue Harbor seems peaceful now, but it is also fraught with danger."

Ying couldn't help but frown when she heard Liuyun Jiefeng's words: "Crisis?"

"Ningguang boasted that it was the time for Liyue to make contracts with humans... I want to see how she can deal with the coming storm."

"If she handles it well, I am willing to be a witness to her achievements. If not... hmph, in the end, that guy will have to come out and clean up the mess."

"That kid?" Paimon asked puzzledly.

"Nothing, okay, I have kept you for a long time, so I will stop here. It is getting late, go to bed early." Master Liuyun Jiefeng seemed to have sensed something and stopped communicating with Ying and Paimeng.

Seeing that Master Liuyun Jiefeng was unwilling to continue talking, Ying and Paimeng had no choice but to go down the mountain.

After Ying and Paimeng left, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng said to the person behind him, "How long are you going to hide, kid?"

“Heh, although the True Lord talks about the difference between immortals and mortals, he still cares about Liyue in his heart.”

The light was slightly distorted, and Wang Daoyi walked out from behind the rocks behind Master Liuyunjiefeng.

“Hmph, when this immortal took on a contract with the Emperor to protect Liyue, I didn’t even know where you and Qixing were!” True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng raised his head arrogantly.

“The people of Liyue will never forget the grace of the Immortal Lord in protecting Liyue.” Wang Daoyi did not comment. Wang Daoyi never doubted the fact that the immortals would protect Liyue, but he also did not doubt the idea of ​​the current Seven Stars protecting Liyue.

"Humph, you kid, this crisis was supposed to be a test of whether the Seven Stars are capable of protecting Liyue, but you came in and interfered. It's really annoying."

Master Liuyun Jiefeng rolled her eyes at Wang Daoyi, raised her head, looked down at him, and expressed her dissatisfaction.

"Ha, Master, do you want to test Qixing or Shenhe?" Wang Daoyi smiled and raised his eyebrows at Master Liuyunjiefeng.

If it was said that True Lord Liuyunjiefeng was just trying to test the Seven Stars, Wang Daoyi didn't believe it.

Since she took the opportunity to send Shen He down the mountain, it was naturally intended as a test.

Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun was silent for a while before he spoke.

"...Shen He is a little less popular after all. If she can make a choice in this crisis, it would be great."

Master Liuyunjiefeng has two disciples, Ganyu and Shenhe.

Ganyu is better, at least she still knows how to interact with people. Although she feels a little isolated deep down, she is still normal.

But Shen He is a completely problematic girl. Shen He's values ​​and cognition are completely different from those of ordinary people.

In addition, the red rope suppressed her emotions, so Shen He was more like an immortal than Gan Yu, the kind of immortal without any human touch.

Anyway, these two people did not inherit the ability of Master Liuyunjiefeng to chat.

Nor did I inherit that cheerful introversion.

"Ha, since the True Lord needs it, I will delay my action. It won't be too late for me to take action after Shen He makes his choice."

"However, I hope that you will protect Liyue Harbor and prevent the storm caused by the Baqie from affecting the mortals here."
