Genshin Impact: Return of the Water Queen

Yun Jin thought for a moment and nodded, "If that's the case, then I'll talk to Mr. Zhongli."

Zhongli pretended to listen attentively, and Luo Chaya also listened as well.

Yun Jin said to the group, "The new play I'm planning to stage is called 'The Goddess Splits the Temple'. However, this is not my original work. It was written by my father based on a folk legend. It tells the story of a goddess who bravely fought monsters to protect the villagers, and then was noticed by an immortal and became a fairy."

Zhongli nodded and commented: "It's a good story. What's the difficulty?"

Yun Jin sighed and said, "Opera should be integrated with emotions. My father left too few records. How can such a few dry and thin words depict the real story? I want to investigate the legend on the spot, but unfortunately, I don't know where to start. I only know that the place where this legend happened may be a village in the Tianheng Mountain area."

After listening to Yun Jin's story, Zhongli looked at Luo Chaya and asked, "Luo Chaya, what do you think?"

"Liyue is in turmoil right now, and undercurrents are surging. If you go to Tianheng Mountain alone to investigate, it might be dangerous." Luo Chaya thought for a moment and said to Yun Jin, "How about this, I'll tell Ningguang later and ask her to find some people to go with you."

She naturally knew who the protagonist of the story of "The Goddess Splits the Temple" was, but since it was Shen He's business, she could not make a decision for Shen He.

"Can you still trouble Lord Ningguang?" Yun Jin looked at Luo Chaya with some surprise.

Zhongli said at the right time: "Don't underestimate my old friend, her status is not ordinary, and now she is a distinguished guest of Tianquan Ningguang."

Yun Jin clasped his fists towards Luo Chaya and said, "Excuse me!"

"Thank you for the compliment, my guest. Your status is not ordinary." Luo Chaya looked at Zhongli with a smile on her face and said without changing her expression.

To be a god, how can you do it without some acting skills?

It's so much fun to sabotage each other, because there's no way they can collapse.

Yun Jin sincerely thanked Luo Chaya for her help, although Luo Chaya felt that her help was not really any help at all, as she was not personally accompanying Yun Jin to the Tianheng Mountain for the field investigation. She just told Ningguang about it.

Zhongli finished his tea, stood up and said, "It's getting late, and it's time for me to go back. Goodbye, Mr. Yun."

"Goodbye, Mr. Zhongli!" Yun Jin nodded to Zhongli.

"Luo Chaya, do you want to sit here for a while or leave with me?" Zhongli looked at Luo Chaya again and asked.

"Oh, it's getting dark, of course I have to go back, the child's accommodation has not been arranged yet." Luo Chaya pointed at Shen He and said to Zhongli with a smile. She turned back to look at Yun Jin and said goodbye: "Mr. Yun, I will listen to your play next time."

"Miss Luo, take care." Yun Jin nodded.

Luo Chaya and Zhongli walked together for a while. When they reached the intersection, he said, "Wangsheng Hall and Qun Yu Pavilion are not in the same direction. I will go back first. The traveler and her friend should stay at the inn after they come back. You don't have to worry."

"I'm not worried." Luo Chaya shook her head.

She has a big heart and she is not worried about Ying and Paimon.

Compared to these two guys, she has a greater chance of getting into trouble.

"Good night, Zhongli."

"Good night, Luochaya."

The two said goodbye to each other and walked in opposite directions.

As soon as Zhongli returned to the Hall of Rebirth, Hu Tao blocked his way. With her hands behind her back, she stared at Zhongli and asked, "Keqing, where have you been today?"

"I accompanied the traveler to prepare some things needed for the "Ceremony of Sending the Immortals", and then listened to some opera." Zhongli answered truthfully.

"It's so relaxing, why don't you take your bird for a walk?" Walnut asked.

“I’ve walked there before.” Zhongli replied.

"Uh..." Hu Tao's eyelids jumped, she shook her head, took out a bill from behind her, and asked, "It's not important, Keqing, let me ask you, what is this? A bill for a bottle of coconut milk, is it for the "Send Immortal Ceremony" or for you to drink while listening to the opera? You have to send a bottle of coconut milk to the Hall of Rebirth!"

“This…” Zhongli knew at a glance that this was Luo Chaya’s masterpiece. He nodded and said, “I want to change my taste occasionally. Sorry, Hall Master.”

"A bottle of coconut milk is nothing, but I'm curious about something." Hu Tao shook her head. She didn't block Zhong Li's way because of the issue of a bottle of coconut milk. She looked at Zhong Li and asked, "Is the salary paid by Wangsheng Hall not enough for you, or do you go out without bringing money? Why do you always send me a bill?"

"I didn't bring it." Zhongli answered simply.

Hu Tao looked at him, silent for a while, raised her hand to her forehead, and waved to Zhong Li, "Forget it, it's okay, you can go back to your work, guest official."

"Well, Hall Master should also go to bed early." Zhongli nodded, then walked around Hu Tao and went towards his residence.

Hu Tao coughed and said to the accountant girl beside him, "Take it and get it reimbursed."

"Oh yes!"

The accounting girl finally reacted and went downstairs with the bill.

On the other side, Luo Chaya took Lotia and Shen He towards Yujingtai.

After returning to the Jade Pavilion, Luo Chaya sent Lotiya away, leaving Shen He alone. She looked at Shen He and said slowly, "The protagonist of the story of "The Goddess Splitting the Guan" that Yun Jin mentioned just now, is that you?"

"It should be me." Shen He nodded, without hiding anything. In her opinion, Luo Chaya was an immortal, so she must know her affairs, and there was no need to hide anything.

"Do you want your story to be put on stage?" Luo Chaya looked at Shen He and continued to ask.

"On stage..."

Luo Chaya continued, "It means that many people will know your past. Of course, they don't know your identity."

After thinking for a while, Shen He said, "I should not object."

"I originally thought that instead of letting Yunjin go on the field investigation alone, it would be better for the protagonist of the story to accompany her so that the truth of the story can emerge. However, I did not ask Yunjin to let you go. I hope you can make your own choice. I respect all your choices."

Luo Chaya looked at Shen He and continued, "You don't have to rush to give me an answer. Think about it carefully tonight."

"I will go with her, but I am Gu Chen Jie Sha, I..." Shen He frowned slightly.

Luo Chaya said to her: "Have you forgotten the crystal I gave you? My power is poured into it, and it can purify negative influences. When you wear it, you don't need to worry about your power affecting others."

"Really?" Shen He was a little dazed.

Luo Chaya nodded and said, "Power is neither right nor wrong. You who possess this power are not wrong. You do not have to bear this "sin" that should not be borne by you. You came from the crowd and will eventually return to the crowd. Gu Chen Jie Sha is not suitable for you. Be a real goddess, Shen He."
