Genshin Impact: A Scattered Soldier Traveling Back in Time

"Yan, are you in there?"

Kong stood outside the door and raised his hand to knock gently on the door, but after a long time, there was still no response from inside the room.

"Nothing will happen, right?" Pai Meng, who was standing aside, muttered softly with a worried look on his face.

Kong frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy. He hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to push the door open.

When he stepped into the room, he saw an empty space without any trace of Yu. There was only a piece of paper on the table, which caught Sora's attention.

He walked quickly to the table, picked up the note and looked at it carefully, and the stone in his heart finally settled down.

"Was it left by Ying? What's written on it?" Paimon came forward and asked curiously.

"It's nothing. Yan said he had something to deal with and left temporarily. Let us wait for his return in Liyue." Kong handed the note to Paimeng and said slowly.

"Why is this person so secretive? Why didn't he tell us something before leaving?" Paimeng took the note and looked at the simple words on it, and couldn't help complaining. She felt that since they were already companions, they should be honest with each other and should not hide their whereabouts.

"Perhaps Yan has his own unspeakable secrets." Kong thought for a moment and said comfortingly, "Let's go, Paimeng. Let's go find Zhongli and the others first. Maybe they know where Yan is."

So the two turned around and left, heading towards a square somewhere in Liyue. Along the way, Paimon was still a little indignant and stood up for Sora. Sora, on the other hand, remained silent, as if thinking about something.

After arriving at the square, Zhongli was seen from afar sitting on a stone bench. He was as tall and straight as a pine tree, and he listened attentively and seriously to the legendary stories about himself told by the storyteller of Liyue.

The warm and bright sunshine fell on him just right at this moment, as if covering him with a layer of light golden glow, making Zhongli, who was already calm and solemn, look even more extraordinary and unique.

However, not far from Zhongli, sat another person with a completely different style—Wendy.

At this time, Wendy was casually playing with a big red apple in her hand, turning a deaf ear to what the storyteller next to her was saying. There was a faint smile on her face, and she looked cynical, which was in sharp contrast to the surrounding environment and Zhongli sitting next to her, making her seem a little out of place.

"Barbatos, didn't you say you were going to take me to see the Dragon King Rudra? Why are you here listening to a book?"

Tevarin, who was lying on Wendy's head, said dissatisfiedly that he had originally been preparing to go back, but when he heard Wendy say that she would take him to see the Dragon King Rudra, he stayed out of curiosity.

"This has nothing to do with me. Can I go without the old man's approval?"

Wendy curled her lips. It wasn't that she didn't want to go.

This is Liyue, not Mondstadt. Although he has a good relationship with Zhongli, the place where the Dragon King of Ryota is sealed is the place where Liyue is sealed. It is better for him not to go there without Zhongli's consent.

Wendy glanced at Zhongli. Everyone said he was slacking off, but wasn't Zhongli also slacking off? Everyone in the Sealed Land knew something was wrong, but he was still there listening to the book.

"You told me not to play too hard, but you ended up playing harder than I did." Wendy complained.

"Singer, why are you still here?"

Sora and Paimon came straight over when they saw them.

"It's you, come sit down and listen to the book for a while."

Wendy asked them to come and sit down.

"No, Wendy, do you know where Yan went?" Kong asked, shaking his head.

"As for young friend Xun, he must have arrived in Mondstadt by now." Zhongli turned around slowly and said calmly.

Paimon nodded and said he understood. "Is that so... Then let's go back to Mond to find him!"

Seeing that the two were about to leave, Wendy rolled her eyes and said, "Kong, how about I let Tevarin take you back? Otherwise, I don't know how long it will take for you to walk back."

"Really?" Paimon asked in surprise.

"Of course, but Tevarin now wants to meet the Dragon King of Liyue, Rhodra. I'm afraid he won't leave unless this wish is fulfilled." As he said this, Wendy winked at Tevarin.

Tewarin was speechless. You want others to help you, why do you want me to take the blame? But he still nodded helplessly.

"Lord Rādhāra? Is he also a dragon like Tevalin?" Paimon asked curiously.

"Well, how about you come and have a look? Don't worry, it will be over soon and won't waste your time." Wendy looked at them expectantly and said.

"No problem, then let's go see King Rudra first." Kong thought about it and agreed.

If he and Paimon were to walk there, it would probably take several days, but with Tevarin's help they would arrive quickly.

"Old man, we are going to see the Ruta Dragon King. Do you want to come with us?"

Zhongli was helpless. He stayed here because he sensed a familiar aura, very similar to that of the Rūpa Dragon King, but he was not sure. The aura was too weak and he had been sensing it for a long time but could not lock on the specific location.

Maybe Barbatos sensed something? In terms of strength, Zhongli claimed to be stronger than the other party, but in terms of perception, no one among the Seven Gods was stronger than him.

After all, the wind is everywhere, except in the windless sea.

"Since you all want to go and have a look, then follow me."

Wendy had a triumphant look on her face.

Everyone soon arrived at the place where the Ruota Dragon King was sealed.

"Zhongli, is the Dragon King Ruota in this cave?" Paimon said curiously while looking at the cave entrance.

Zhongli looked at the cave entrance thoughtfully. The traces inside were still very new, probably having just been dug out. Moreover, there was a faint sound of chiseling the ground coming from inside the cave.

After hearing what Paimon said, Zhongli responded, "No, there was no cave here originally. Judging from the traces, it should have been dug out not long ago. Judging from the noise, they should still be digging inside."

"Is that so?"

Paimon looked at the cave entrance curiously, and when he thought of the two gods traveling with him, he flew straight in, and everyone followed him in.

When they walked into the cave, they found three miners bending over, waving their pickaxes vigorously, digging the hard stone wall again and again.

"Did the three of them dig such a deep tunnel?" Paimon was very surprised. He didn't know how long it took them to dig it out.

The three miners heard the noise and picked up their pickaxes and attacked the men.

Zhongli noticed that something was wrong with them, and in order not to hurt ordinary people, he opened a large round shield and protected everyone inside. Well, it was much bigger than the one in the game. Sure enough, we drew Zhongli instead of Morax.

The three miners hit the shield with their pickaxes, making a bang bang sound, but it was useless; they couldn't break it at all.

Seeing this, Wendy took out a xylophone. Just as he was about to pluck the strings to purify the three people, a black gas penetrated in through the gap in the shield.

The black gas transformed into the image of a little girl in blue clothes behind everyone.

The little girl gave a sinister smile, and with a wave of her hand, a powerful force hit the shield from the inside.

Zhongli and Venti discovered each other at the first moment, but Venti ignored them because he didn't think the other party could easily break the old man's shield.

Zhongli felt a familiar aura from the other person, which was the aura of the Rādhāra Dragon King.

Since my old friend has invited me to meet him, it would be rude to refuse.

Thinking of this, Zhongli untied the shield. At the same time, a huge suction force came from deep in the tunnel.

Kong, Paimon, Wendy and Tevarin were sucked in unexpectedly, and only Zhongli walked in with a calm look.

"Morax, you play me!"

When he heard Wendy's voice, Zhongli pretended not to hear it.
