Seeker of Teyvat

"I am also from outside the world!"

One of Wang Daoyi's biggest secrets was revealed by him.

“?!!!!” Ying’s originally calm expression changed instantly, a hint of disbelief appeared in her eyes, “This… can’t… be…”

She didn't know what to say for a moment.

Under the distorted light, Nasida was also stunned for a moment. He, who was refused access by the World Tree, also did not know this secret.

There was only Paimon, floating in mid-air, looking silly.

"...Does Zhongli know about this?" After a long time, Ying asked this question tentatively.

Wang Daoyi raised his eyebrows: "Of course I know that I was once the emperor's dependent, and most of my past information was transparent to the emperor."

"What about Wendy and Shadow?"

"They don't know that after I met the Emperor, my strange aura was covered up by the Emperor, so you are the second person who knows."

Well, Nacida is a god. Paimon doesn't know what she is, so Ying is naturally the second person to know.

"Huh... Where are you from then? Like me, did you also cross the sea of ​​stars to come here?"

Perhaps because he felt that he had found the same kind, the shock in Ying's eyes faded and was replaced by a ray of excitement.

"I'm sorry, the way I arrived is different from yours. In other words, I don't know how I arrived. I'm still investigating the reason."

"Is that so...Okay, don't worry, I will help you protect this secret, and I will also help you investigate!" Ying was not at all discouraged by Wang Daoyi's answer. Instead, she looked full of energy.

It seemed that she really regarded Wang Daoyi as a similar person.

Think about it, she came into this world with her brother,

As an outsider, she is lonely no matter how the people and things on her journey affect her. Paimon, her only companion, can only reduce this feeling of loneliness, but cannot completely eliminate it.

Therefore, when Wang Daoyi revealed his identity, the sense of identity brought by long-term loneliness instantly occupied Ying's heart.

In her opinion, Wang Daoyi and herself are the same existence.

Hearing Ying's words, Wang Daoyi also smiled: "Ha, then... I'll leave it to you."

The main reason why he suddenly had a showdown with Ying was because Nasida said that Ying was a destined person, and she was embodying the encounters and entanglements of countless people.

On the one hand, he wanted to wait until Ying arrived in Sumeru, and then use the power of fate between him and Ying to "encounter" and "entangle" to light up the sixth life star in one fell swoop.

On the other hand, he also wanted to see if Ying could help him find out the mystery of his soul penetration.

[Did a blue exclamation mark appear above my head, and then a commission was formed and accepted? 】

An idea flashed through his mind, and Wang Daoyi couldn't help but laugh.

However, with the emergence of this idea, some strange thoughts were born in Wang Daoyi's mind.

[If Ying is the destined person, then her fate in Mondstadt, Liyue, and Daoqi, despite my intervention, has been completed almost exactly. 】

[As for Xumi, although I don’t know what her fate is, I must have destroyed it, so I need to re-arrange her destiny in Xumi. 】

As this thought became clearer, the light in Wang Dao's eyes became brighter and brighter.

At the side, Ying looked at Wang Daoyi, and inexplicably had a strange premonition.

It seems... someone is plotting against her!

"Daoyi, Daoyi, what are you thinking about? Why are you distracted again?" Ying stretched out her hand and waved in front of Wang Daoyi.

Come back to your senses,

Wang Daoyi looked at Ying and shook his head slightly. Of course, he would not say that he was thinking about how to arrange your trip after arriving in Xumi.

So, he made up an excuse: "I was thinking, since you don't want to see the Fatui of the 9th Company die, why not go find Ningguang and tell her about these things? If Ningguang is willing to give the order to capture these Fatui alive and use them for negotiations with their superiors, these people might be able to survive."

As for what price he would have to pay to survive, that was not something Wang Daoyi needed to consider.

Ying's eyes lit up. Yes, Wang Daoyi was unwilling to take action, but she still knew Ningguang.

With Ningguang's help, even if these Fatui come out and become prisoners, at least they can save their lives, and it won't be considered a betrayal of their faith!

Thinking of this, Ying showed a grateful look to Wang Daoyi. She thought that Wang Daoyi's distraction just now was because he was thinking of this solution for her: "Daoyi, thank you so much."

Wang Daoyi scratched his head embarrassedly, then shook his head slightly at Ying: "Nothing, just a small matter."

"By the way, when are you planning to go to Xumi?" Without waiting for Ying to continue thanking him, Wang Daoyi changed the subject.

Ying was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Wang Dao to suddenly change the subject. But after thinking about it, she quickly answered, "Sumeru? I have to wait for a while. After the Lantern Festival, I have to go to Inazuma to participate in the Rongcai Festival. After the Rongcai Festival is over, I will have time to set off for Xumi."

Wang Daoyi nodded secretly. Although the timeline was destroyed by himself, it was still generally correct.

"What's the matter, Daoyi has a commission for me?"

Ying still remembered that when he was about to go to Inazuma, Wang Daoyi gave him a commission, which was to hand over a crystal to Yae Shinko of Narukami Taisha.

And now Wang Daoyi asked himself about going to Xumi again, whether there was another similar commission.

"Well, not really. I was just asking. Our story may not begin until you go to Xumi."

Ying frowned. Why did Daoyi start talking incomprehensible words again?

"What do you mean? Our story? Haven't we known each other for a long time?"

She didn't understand what Wang Daoyi meant at all.

"Ha, our meeting happened a long time ago, but our entanglement has not yet begun."

Wang Daoyi said something without thinking, and then changed the subject: "Oh, by the way, I might go to the Rongcai Festival when the time comes. I don't know if the Inazuma Festival is fun."

"Daoyi." Ying suddenly said in a deep voice.

"Hmm?" Wang Daoyi looked at her.

Then he saw a hint of speechlessness in Ying's eyes: "Are you always so abrupt in changing the subject?"

For a moment, Wang Daoyi was a little embarrassed: "Ha..."

My method of changing the subject did seem a bit awkward.

"Ahem, enough talking. We're almost at the campsite. I'll go first. Bye." Seeing that the campsite was already within sight and fearing that he would be embarrassed again, Wang Dao rolled up a ray of golden light and disappeared in front of Ying's sight.

Ying frowned slightly. Why did she feel like there was a strange shadow in Daoyi's golden light just now?

However, he soon remembered that Wang Daoyi was a weird person, so Ying put the matter behind him and returned to the camp with Paimeng.

"Hey, traveler, where is Lord Wang Daoyi?" After returning to the camp, the Huishan Hall employee who was stationed there found that Wang Daoyi was missing and couldn't help but ask.

"He left. Didn't you see the golden light?"

"Ah, maybe I was careless just now, I really didn't see it." The employee of Huishan Hall scratched his head embarrassedly, and then asked tentatively, "You went to find the Fatui just now, how was it?"

Ying looked at the other person strangely, and then remembered what Wang Daoyi said about the position.

I immediately understood that these employees of Huishan Hall stood on Liyue's side and did not want me to save those Fatui.

A strange look appeared in Ying's eyes. Ying seemed to understand Wang Daoyi's idea and said nothing more about saving people. "Nothing. I was going to tell Ningguang what happened here and suggest that Ningguang capture those Fatui."

Arrest him?

The employee of Huishan Hall was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of joy.

"Catch them, yes, just catch them."

For them, it makes no difference whether they are cleared out or captured, as long as they are not rescued.

Seeing the happy faces of the Huishan Hall employees, Ying was silent for a while, and felt even more deeply about what Wang Daoyi said about "position".

However, she quickly calmed down and continued to rest. After a while, she would set out again to explore the Layered Rock Abyss and help draw the map.

the other side,

The golden light fell next to the statue of the Seven Heavens God on the ground of the abyss.

The figures of Wang Daoyi and Nashida appeared.

"How about it? Do you want to continue shopping?" Wang Daoyi asked.

Nashida shook her head. "No, I have consulted Morax, seen the customs of Liyue, and even met this traveler. It is complete. Let's go back to Xumi."

After all, he is still in power, unlike the free man who is like the wind.

After a while, Nashida began to miss Xumi.

"Is that so? Let's go back then. By the way, there is something I almost forgot to tell you." Wang Daoyi suddenly remembered something.

Nashida looked at him, a little curious: "What's the matter?"

Wang Daoyi looked embarrassed and looked away a little embarrassedly: "A few days ago, the doctor came to bargain with me for a slice."

"Hmm?" Nashida straightened her face and stared at Wang Daoyi.

Wang Daoyi felt even more embarrassed. He coughed and quickly explained, "Ahem, don't look at me like that. I didn't agree to any excessive requests from him."

"Then what did you promise him?" Nashida's eyes showed some helplessness. She was very dissatisfied with Wang Daoyi's behavior of trading with the enemy privately.

This is not the first time that Wang Daoyi and the Doctor have collaborated. They have collaborated before. However, Nashida had already forgiven Wang Daoyi for what happened before and did not hold a grudge.

But now, He and Wang Daoyi have become two sides of the same coin, and Wang Daoyi's transaction with the doctor without His consent is another type of infringement.

It’s like, you start a company with your friend, but your friend cooperates with the management of a rival company without consulting you. How… disappointing.

This is the look Nashida has when she looks at Wang Daoyi now.

Disappointed, very disappointed,

Of course, how much of these disappointments are real and how much are feigned is anyone’s guess.

"I promised him that after everything is over, I will give up the Heart of Thundergod, and he will give up the scattered soldiers."

Wang Daoyi told the deal between him and the doctor.

Nashida frowned. "Is that all?"

"Ahem, of course, the additional condition is that the Doctor will give up some sabotage actions. You know, Fatui may not be able to do good things, but they can definitely do bad things."

Nashida still stared at Wang Daoyi with her big eyes, making Wang Daoyi feel more embarrassed.

for a long time,

Nashida put away her fierce look and said, "Daoyi, next time, absolutely don't do that."

"We are already bound together. If there is anything important, you should consult me ​​instead of making decisions on your own. This is... not good."

In fact, Nashida doesn't care about Wang Daoyi's cooperation with the doctor.

He believed that Wang Daoyi would not sell out his interests, and he believed even more that Wang Daoyi would not harm him.

What he feared was that Wang Daoyi would make the decision alone.

If it's a good thing, there's no problem, but what if it's a bad thing?

If something happens in the desert, it will take a god's self-sacrifice to solve it.

Wang Daoyi also made the decision on his own without consulting Him, and chose to sacrifice himself.

If this happens, Nashida will feel guilty for the rest of her life.

Seeing the worry in Nashida's eyes, Wang Daoyi nodded slightly: "Okay, I will discuss any important matters with Nashida in the future!"

Nashida looked at Wang Daoyi, raised her hand and extended a pinky finger: "Let's pinky promise!"

Wang Dao was stunned for a moment, then he smiled, squatted down slightly, stretched out his hand, and hooked his little finger with Nashida's hand: "Let's pinky promise!"

Seemingly childish behavior,

Indeed, the king's original promise to Nashida,

Thinking back to the time, at the Xumi Adventurer's Association, he and Nashida made the simplest and original contract in this way.

That was the first time Nashida received kindness from Wang Daoyi, and it was also the initial source of Nashida's trust in Wang Daoyi. After that, Wang Daoyi fulfilled his promise, which made Nashida full of trust in him.

He was even willing to share with him the authority to rule Xumi.

So, when Nashida wanted Wang Daoyi to truly agree to something very, very important for her, she only thought of this way and only believed in this way.

The two of them hooked their pinkies together and said, "We'll keep our promise for a hundred years.

Then they looked at each other and slowly let go.

Holding Nashida's hand,

Wang Dao looked straight ahead, as if nothing had happened.
