Original God's Dark Priest

After receiving the news from Ying, Safir put away the cave pass and fell into deep thought.

Zhongli, who was still paying attention to Fushe's forging movements, was also curious when he saw her suddenly look serious: "What's wrong?"

Saphir shared the information Ying told him with Zhongli, and Xianyun was also listening.

After she finished speaking, Xianyun frowned and said, "You mean, that Kanreya found the traveler and wanted to go with her to look for something strange?"

"It's not a strange thing, it's the loom of fate," Sapphire corrected.

Zhongli stroked his chin, thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to go and take a look? This matter may be very important."

Saphir didn't want to go. She didn't want to get involved in anything related to the abyss.

She would never forget the erosion she suffered after entering the abyss, that kind of heart-wrenching pain, she didn't want to experience it a second time. Moreover, her heart always subconsciously wanted to get closer to the abyss, which was the most terrifying thing.

This may mean that somewhere in her heart she is longing to fall into the abyss. This is a self-destructive emotion, which is very terrible once it develops.

God knows how she suppressed her instincts and came out of the abyss safely during that time when she went deep into the abyss, so she stayed away from everything related to the abyss and the Abyss Cult.

"Whether it's important or not has nothing to do with me. There are so many important things in this world, and I don't have to get involved in everything, right?" Saphir said as he continued to focus his attention on Fushe.

She did seem indifferent, but her tightly clenched right hand revealed her inner injustice. Zhongli's eyes flickered slightly, and he finally chose to keep silent.

Saphir knew that Dainsreb was not trustworthy, but she herself was not that trustworthy either. In this matter, they were the same.

Ying is valuable to Deinsreb because she is Kong's sister. Just because of this identity, Deinsreb will not hurt her easily.

And it is even more impossible for Kong to hurt Ying. When it comes to contacting the abyss, Ying is more suitable than Saphir, and it is safer.

Knowing this, Safire has no intention of contacting Ying and the others regarding matters related to the Abyss. Although she knows very well that Ying contacted her to prevent any accidents, in Safire's opinion, perhaps Ying's contact with the Abyss is much safer than other things.

Over there, Ying felt a little relieved after notifying Safir. She didn't know why she was feeling this way, it felt a bit like a child having to report to his parents before going out.

Shaking his head vigorously to get rid of these strange thoughts, Ying and Paimon lit a bonfire next to the cabin and waited until night.

Because there might be something not to be missed here, the two of them took care of their own dinner. It had been a long time since they had eaten Ying's cooking. Little Paimeng rubbed his belly with satisfaction: "Ying's dishes are still so delicious. Just based on your cooking skills, it's enough for me to follow you!"

The little guy has nothing to do after eating, so he stands here to show his loyalty.

Ying could hear the meaning of the conversation and immediately showed disdain: "You talk about eating and drinking for free so naturally, little Paimeng, you are really something."

"No way! I'm not going to pay attention to you!" After being exposed by his friends, Paimon didn't feel ashamed at all. Instead, he turned his head away and pretended to be angry.

However, she didn't stay like this for long, and immediately took the initiative to talk to Ying: "Speaking of which, Dai Yin is too slow. It's already dark and he hasn't come back yet. He said that there's a problem with the leyline nearby. Could something serious really have happened?

Alas, we came here together, but now we are the only two left... But when I think about it, we have already had a lot of time to spend alone together..."

They traveled together for a while at first, and then met Saphir, which marked the beginning of Ying's journey to the Seven Kingdoms. Ying and little Paimon were almost never separated, and in the beginning, Saphir often traveled with them.

But gradually, perhaps because Safir's mission objectives changed, she traveled with the two little ones less and less frequently. Now, they almost had no idea where Safir was and what she was doing.

Ying nodded silently. In fact, she had discovered this matter a long time ago and had also anticipated it.

After she understood what the Fatui were, she never thought that the girl would always accompany her, because she needed to travel the seven kingdoms, and the Fatui...

Each state has an executive officer.

Perhaps as a backup, Safir could follow her footsteps and go to the same country, but they were destined not to travel together closely. The closest ones were only Liyue, Monde, and Inazuma, because the executive in charge of these three countries was Safir himself.

Everything has changed since Xumi, and the changes in the future will be even greater...

Ying looked up at the starry sky. She could sense that Saphir seemed to be deliberately avoiding her from meeting other Fatui executives. The only one who took the initiative to let her get to know was Alecino.

Although she didn't know what the other party's purpose was, Ying knew that the other party would not harm her.

While Ying was daydreaming, little Paimeng was still chattering on the side: "Um... that... I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask... it won't be boring to be with me, right?"

Seeing the little guy's slightly embarrassed expression, Ying felt that this kind of feeling should not be wasted, so she reached out and rubbed the little guy's hair very seriously: "Thanks to Paimon being here all the time, I'm very happy."

A person's journey is lonely. Ying has long been accustomed to having a noisy elf around. In fact, if you think about it carefully, although Paimon has almost no role in the battle, it is precisely because of her company that this journey can be added with countless brilliance.

In the invisible place, the little guy gave her a lot of courage. She didn't want to experience the journey without this little guy anymore. It was always better to have a companion than to be alone.

Although the monthly food expenses for this little guy are frighteningly high, with the support of Saphir, they don't need to worry about the money for the little guy, so Ying is more tolerant of little Paimeng.

After receiving Ying's very serious and affirmative reply, little Paimeng covered his face with his hands out of shame: "Hehehe... I feel a little embarrassed to say it so bluntly.

So... um, I don't know if you'd like to talk about it... I want to know what it's like when you travel with your brother?"

"Brother..." Ying looked at the sea of ​​stars above her head, recalled for a long time, and finally said, "We would just look at the starry sky together, and sometimes, we would point to the planet we wanted to go to.

We traveled between the stars, never separated...we witnessed all kinds of hope and despair in the universe."

As she spoke, she revealed a somewhat melancholy expression: "This is the first time we have been separated from each other. At least, I want to know what happened."

"Well, I can always understand your feelings. It would be too sad if you don't even know the reason for separation." Paimon said that he fully understood and felt sorry for Ying's experience. "I will definitely be your good guide, and the truth will eventually be revealed. Well! Just wait and see, justice! Just wait and see, Teyvat!"

The little guy's passionate look also infected Ying. She also stood up, put her hands on her hips, and shouted loudly with great force: "Justice! Just watch Teyvat!"

The two of them were shouting and yelling in the deserted rainforest like hot-blooded idiots. Their voices traveled far away, but the only response they got was the rustling sound brought by the wind in the forest. Apart from that, everything was silent.

After venting, Ying felt that her mood was much better, and a defiant smile appeared on her face again. She was still the stubborn girl and had never changed.

The two little ones became more harmonious in such an atmosphere. Because Ying's sad story was mentioned, little Paimeng felt that he should do something, so he offered to keep watch.

Ying was a little surprised by this, because in fact, since they had the Dust Song Pot, they had not slept outdoors for a long time. Little Paimeng might not be able to hold on.

But looking at the confident little girl, Ying decided to trust her and found a relatively flat place to sleep.

Because her mind was filled with thoughts of Kong, Ying fell asleep unknowingly and remained silent all night.

The next day, Ying was woken up by Dainsleib.

After opening her eyes, she felt her head was a mess and even her vision was blurred. This feeling was not right.

Dainsleb also noticed her abnormality and asked in confusion: "Why are you so drowsy? Today we still have to..."

Halfway through his words, he saw tears flowing from Ying's eyes, and swallowed back what he wanted to say, and said, "Well...the tear marks in the corners of your eyes...did you dream about your brother last night?"

Ying nodded, still feeling a little dizzy. She seemed to understand why Saphir was always in a bad mood after getting up.

Because Saphir cries almost every time she wakes up, she must have more unknown pains...

"Okay, you rest here first, I'll go take a look deep into the forest." Seeing Ying like this, Dainsleb naturally didn't say much. When it comes to missing Kong, the girl in front of him surpasses anyone else, even him.

Ying did not respond to Dainsleib's words, but was vaguely thinking: Why go deep into the forest again...

Her intuition told her that there was a secret.

But her head was so dizzy that she only lasted a few seconds before she closed her eyes again and fell asleep.

She slept very well this time, and when she woke up she was fully recovered. She stood up, stretched, and yawned. Ying's brain, which had been shut down, finally started to work again.

She looked around and immediately realized something was wrong. She slept until morning, and Paimon did not come to take her shift...

Thinking of this, Ying immediately panicked. Paimon was gone! But she quickly calmed herself down and thought about it carefully. She recalled that Dainsleb seemed to have been there. Ying felt that Paimon probably saw that she was not awake, so he followed Dainsleb to the forest.

Thinking of this, Ying felt that this should be the case, so she decided to stretch her muscles and investigate the situation nearby.

Just when she was about to leave, strange noises were heard from the cabin she had investigated yesterday.

She immediately became alert. You know, the hut had been abandoned for a long time, and it was hard not to think too much when there was movement inside at this time.

Ying swallowed nervously and asked tentatively: "Paimon? Is that you? Stop playing hide-and-seek with me."

No one answered. Ying took a deep breath and started walking towards the house, saying as she walked, "I saw you... come out."

But still no response.

Finally, she came to the door of the house. When she was about to lift the curtain made of huge leaves, a male voice stopped her: "Stop! What do you want to do!"

"Ah!" Ying was startled. She turned around and found that the person who spoke was a middle-aged man wearing strange clothes.

The man saw Ying and showed a serious expression: "This place is not what you think... Don't even think about meddling in other people's business here! Leave now!"

Ying waved her hand and explained: "You misunderstood, I am just looking for my travel companion."

"Your travel companion? Is he the one who stayed by your side last night?" The middle-aged man pointed in a direction. "He went to the forest early in the morning. I saw it with my own eyes."

Ying nodded when he heard this, and thought: It seems that Paimon did go to find Dainsleib, but... this person cannot be fully trusted.

Because Ying clearly remembered something that Saphir had taught her, the eyes of Dainsreb, a gray cross, which was the symbol of the survivors of Kanria, and this man had the same eyes.

He is a Kanreyan.

Ying confirmed the other party's identity and looked at him with a scrutinizing look in her eyes: "So, you mean you were around here last night?"

The middle-aged man had an impatient look on his face, as if Ying was some kind of plague god: "Why do you care so much? Anyway, this place was requisitioned by me first, and what I do here is none of your business. If you understand, just leave now!"

Ying was very unhappy with this person's attitude, but she was very concerned about the other person's identity.

The three words "Kan Ruiya" seemed to have great magic, making her want to find out more.

Ying stopped where she was, not planning to leave. Seeing her like this, the man became even more upset: "What's wrong? Why aren't you leaving?"

"It's a bit difficult to find my travel companion in the forest, so I might as well wait here." Ying said confidently. Since this place was "requisitioned" by this man, it meant that this place did not belong to him, so he had no reason to drive her away.

Ying understood the inside story and was very sure of it.

When the middle-aged man heard this, he held his forehead with his hand in frustration. He really had no reason to force Ying to leave: "Ah, I give up on you. I really can't do anything about you."

He seemed to have figured it out, shook his head and said, "Well, I have also secretly observed you, and you really don't look like a forest ranger, nor do you look like someone from the Order House.

I warn you, don't do anything unnecessary...If you agree, it's up to you."

This was a set of rules. Ying's purpose of staying had been achieved, so she stopped making things difficult and nodded: "I'm not a bad person, nor am I pretending to be a good person."

"Okay, okay... then move aside, I'm going in." The middle-aged man said and was about to go into the house.

Ying felt that there was a big secret in the house, so she made her request: "I have been outside all night and it is a bit cold... I also want to go in and rest for a while."

"You!" The middle-aged man seemed reluctant to let others enter the room, but faced with Shangying's insistent eyes, he finally gave in, "Well, whatever. I don't think I can hide it anyway, so just come in.

Just don't make a fuss after you go in, do you understand?"

Ying felt very strange when he gave her this warning. She had checked the house yesterday and there was nothing strange. Why did this man say this?

She couldn't figure it out, but she nodded obediently: "Don't worry, I've seen the world."

After getting Ying's assurance, the middle-aged man finally spoke: "Let's go."

After saying that, he led the way in front, Ying followed behind him, and the two of them walked into the house together.

Suddenly, Ying seemed to have sensed something and looked back at the dense forest not far away. She felt as if she was being stared at, but after looking carefully for a long time, she didn't see anything strange, so she had to give up and followed the man into the cabin.

After she entered the house, a faint female voice came from the dense forest: "Is this guy so sensitive? This shouldn't be the case..."
