"You must be confused. That child is obviously a half-immortal like you, and he is practicing immortal techniques, so why would he worry about these things?

But I want to tell you that the child is more human than immortal, and perhaps that is why she has always been afraid of something. "

"But...but...why didn't Kuxue ever tell me this?"

Ganyu couldn't help but ask out loud.

"Because you are different from her. Ganyu, you may be very angry, but although she is your sister, Kuxue realized very early that she could not always accompany you.

Even though she knew that whether it was immortal magic or natural treasures, they could extend this period of time as much as possible, but she always believed that doing so would only cause the relationship to deteriorate. "

True Lord Liuyunjiefeng was not saying that Kuxue hated the days of being with Ganyu.

But it was the disciple who was more like a human than an immortal, who, after that long thousand years of life, finally reached the end of his own humanity.

It is difficult to cross this barrier anymore. Once you cross it, you will no longer be yourself. The human part will inevitably become weak, or even transform into divinity.

At that time, the balance in the girl's heart will tilt. This is inevitable.

“Ganyu. Perhaps you find it hard to understand this feeling, but Kuxue... that child is already tired. She just wants to draw an end to this life in her own way, so as to move on to another journey.”

In the past, Master Liuyun Jiefeng actually didn't understand why his disciple would think this way and just thought it was an excuse to comfort her.

But over the years, she has witnessed the changes in Liyue and many things have changed. Even immortals and gods will one day become silent.

So, how can it be said that it is sad that Kuxue was led by her to witness the tragedy in the world, changed her mind, and finally returned to the path she was supposed to take?

This is the truth of the past, and it is also the concern that Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng is unwilling to speak out. The same is true for the Emperor who remains silent like her.

When Ganyu heard this suddenly, her face turned pale and embarrassed, and doubts kept rising in her heart.

She stepped back repeatedly, covering her forehead, feeling like she would faint at any moment.

"…I don't understand things like that…"

She had never thought about these things before, she just simply hoped to stay with her sister for the rest of her life.

Why, the truth revealed by Master Liuyunjiefeng is this...

In that case, doesn't it mean that she killed her sister?

As a twin, he was born to rob his sister of her nutrients, causing her to almost experience death before she was born. Then, for her sake, he kept looking for things that could take over for her.

Liyue, she had been carrying out the mission entrusted to her by her sister for such a long time, but she still couldn't guess her true intention.

It was just wishful thinking, and I never considered Kuxue's feelings...

Tick.

Tears rolled down Ganyu's cheeks. Her increasingly stubborn thoughts made her extremely painful.

And Master Liuyun Jiefeng just sighed, pulled her into his arms, and protected her with his wings.

"You... you're just crying and whining. You don't have any spirit of an immortal at all."

"I...I don't want to become an immortal..."

"Master, I understand that you didn't strive for progress in the past because you didn't know why you practiced Taoism. Then you met Kuxue and believed that you had found your lifelong goal. You worked hard to practice, but you got further and further away from her. The two of you are like seasons that shouldn't have changed."

Master Liuyun Jiefeng caressed her forehead lovingly, letting her tears wet her beloved feathers.

"When one is ahead, another is chasing. But if one day, one disappears, the other will also stagnate."

"True Lord..."

"But now, haven't you found her again?"

"True Lord... do you know Yunshang...?"

Ganyu asked weakly.

"If I didn't know, why would I send your sister there? Calculating the time, I think they should have met each other and have something in common."

Master Liuyun Jiefeng said so, and Ganyu, who was originally lying in front of her, suddenly raised her head, and the Qilin horn pushed Master Liuyun Jiefeng's wings apart.

"Ma-sama...what did you say?"

"Hmm? Didn't the master say that he had accepted a little girl who had a connection with Kuxue?"

"there has never been!"

"Strange. Could it be that the letter didn't reach the house?"

"Let's put those things aside for now. What on earth did the True Lord do?"

Ganyu was already beating the chest of Master Liuyun Jiefeng angrily. Such an act of rebellion would naturally be suppressed by her forceful suppression.

A pair of green wings pressed Ganyu down, causing her to bend down, and she snorted in disdain.

"I have always been upright and aboveboard throughout my life. Why should I explain myself to a stubborn disciple like you?"

"Even if you are Zhenjun, you can't do this. My sister is mine!"

"You, you really only think about your own affairs from beginning to end."

The tone of Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun's speech changed a little.

"Although Kuxue is your sister, isn't she also my most beloved disciple?"

This familiar feeling of pressure immediately made Ganyu more alert.

"What exactly does the True Lord want to say?"

"Haha. Just renewing our past relationship—"

As these words fell, Master Liuyun Jiefeng also took off with the wind, turned around and flew towards the direction of Tianheng Mountain.

Ganyu was stunned for a moment below, then hurriedly followed.

"True-kun-!"

Her desperate cries received no response; Master Liuyun Jiefeng simply hummed the tune he had heard from Kuxue in his spare time.

Familiar and warm, as if the child had never left.

However, even if we part, there will be a time for reunion.

At least, in this life, she hoped that she could appear as a more perfect guide.

Chapter 41 is coming!

late at night.

crackling——

As a small spark bounced up from the ashes, Yun Chang, who was chatting with Hu Tao to relieve her boredom, turned her gaze back to the fire.

The orange-red flame was rising from the picked up dead branches, swaying yet radiating heat to the surroundings unwaveringly.

The girl hugged her knees, tilted her head slightly, and spoke as if she was sighing.

"I think I said it last time, every time I look at the flames burning, my heart becomes especially peaceful."

"Hehe. I understand, I understand. Every time I send a customer in with great fanfare, I can especially relate to this feeling!"

Walnut playfully stirred the ashes with his branches, making the flames grow stronger.

"I'm really worried that Kurumi might fail to obtain a fire permit and be arrested by the Qianyan Army."

Yun Shang held up her face and said with some amusement and helplessness.

"Oh, no, no. We in Wangsheng Hall have connections up there. We even know the most famous Seven Stars!"

Hu Tao winked playfully, as if to "show off" her connections with the upper echelons of Liyue.

However, even though we know that Hu Tao is quite capable, it still feels a bit surprising that she can establish connections with powerful people like Liyue.

After all, every time Hu Tao went out, he was either strolling on the street for fun, or working seriously in the Hall of Rebirth.

It's hard to imagine that such a childish girl could manage such a good network of contacts.

Yun Shang teased with a bit of suspicion and teasing.

"Then introduce yourself to me?"

"Hehe. Then, Walnut, let me tell you in detail—"

Hu Tao imitated the storyteller and made a "cough and hum" sound, which even attracted the attention of Shen He who was meditating nearby.

"Everyone knows that above our port, there are the Cloud Fairy Palace and the Mist Palace."

Before Hu Tao could continue speaking, she was interrupted by Shen He.

"Which True Lord is it?"

"Don't be impatient. Just listen to me, Walnut, and I will tell you slowly—"

After brewing the feeling that he had finally brought up, Walnut continued.

"The person living in a palace like this must be a well-connected person, his name is Ningguang."

She shook her head and spoke as if she were reciting a jingle.

"Some people praised him: 'Heavenly power condenses into light, making him rich; his bright eyes are so charming that peaches are ashamed of apricots; his eyesight is so sharp and his ears are so sensitive that he can understand a hundred things!"

"Then how did Walnut get to know this great man?"

"Hey. I have to mention that I met her a few times when I was still young.

At that time, she was not yet the powerful Tianquan Star, but just a rookie in the business world. And I was not the 77th generation head of the Wangsheng Hall, but just a little girl who wanted to eat candied haws on the street but couldn’t get any.”

Hu Tao crossed his arms across his chest, looking as if he was reminiscing about the glorious past.

"She saw that I was young, so she came to talk to me, and in a few words she found out why I was here. As a reward, she naturally bought me a bunch of candied haws. I almost couldn't eat when I got home that day, and my grandfather chased me and spanked me!"

Yun Shang couldn't help laughing when she imagined that scene.

“It always feels like a very walnut-style encounter.”

"Hehe. Right, we, Hu Tao, have always been like this, and never forget our original intention!"

After praising himself, Hu Tao continued to speak.

"Also, although I could see Hu Tao occasionally afterwards, time flies by and things and people have changed."

She touched her own pretty face and spoke in a mature tone that did not match her appearance.

"The rookie at that time has now become a seven-star. The little girl at that time has now become the head of the hall. She is busy with work all day long, taking care of the food and clothing of more than a dozen people in the Wangsheng Hall, and gradually she has less contact with the old lady."

Looking at Hu Tao who was acting like a drama queen, Yun Shang felt a little embarrassed to expose her saying that being busy with work every day meant going out on the streets to sell her genius marketing strategy of buy one stele and get one free.

Even today when I went out to do some errands, I ended up not coming home all night.

But for Hu Tao, staying out all night seems to be normal. After all, she is a night owl, and she is more energetic when the moon comes out.

Seeing Yunchang's teasing expression, Hu Tao quickly waved her hands and emphasized.

"However, occasionally when the weather is good, I can still run into her coming down to relax and chat about recent events!"

"So, what is the relationship between Hu Tao and Lady Ningguang?"

Faced with the question from her own waiter, Hu Tao did not continue to make excuses, but told the truth.

"Well, we weren't very familiar with each other at first. We had some business dealings, but later on, I was an interesting person, and Walnut treated me differently.

After a few visits, I have established a relationship with her. Occasionally, when the weather is clear, I can go to the Jade Pavilion to drink some tea and look out over the scenery of most of Liyue Harbor."

"I see. Kurumi is really amazing..."

Although it seemed like a small matter to the person involved, Yunshang's praise exposed Hu Tao's true colors and he hugged her and smiled foolishly.

"Of course not. It doesn't matter if you show more enthusiasm and praise to your master, right?"

Although she inexplicably felt like a paramecium, Yun Shang was considerate enough not to burst her smile, but stayed close to her lovingly.

However, the next moment, Shen He's cold and warm voice woke them up.

"You two, please be careful around you."

She didn't feel like a third party. Although she felt a little depressed when she saw the two men ignoring her and showing off their friendship in front of the fire, she didn't want to break them up.

Shen He stood up. In the light of the fire, her shadow appeared long and slender, and then seemed to be separated from her body and suspended in the air.

No, it wasn't a shadow. It was a talisman spirit that looked very similar to Shen He, with a dark blue body!

Her eyes, hidden under her hair, now showed a hint of alertness.
