Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

Chapter 225: Meeting Old Friends in Old Place

The silver-haired woman's expression remained unchanged. She looked like a beautiful statue, without any human aura. She said calmly, "I don't need these. Just take the person away."

Su Ping did not force it. After all, although he was much more sober, he still wanted to kill the man himself for revenge. However, it would not have a good impact in front of others, so he needed to leave quickly.

But before leaving, Su Ping also fulfilled his duty as a Qianyan Army soldier and asked: "May I ask what your name is, young lady, and where you live? If it is convenient, please tell me, I can report it to the Qianyan Office and record your merits."

The silver-haired woman may have seen that he was polite and did not seek help from the gods or pray for blessings when they saw her like the others did, so she responded again.

"My name is Shen He, a person from the mountains and wilds, not worth mentioning."

Su Ping was stunned by the name. He looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief and asked tentatively, "Xiao He?"

The silver-haired woman was stunned, with a hint of reminiscence in her eyes, and she subconsciously called out: "Brother Su Ping, it's you..."

Su Ping's face lit up with joy, and he wanted to ask some questions, such as the other party's whereabouts over the years, his silver hair and frosty eyes that were different from his childhood, and his powerful strength. There were many, many things he wanted to ask.

But the silver-haired woman opposite, Shen He, pursed her lips and turned around and ran after learning that the handsome young man covered in blood was the one she had been following.

Su Ping hadn't reacted yet and could only run. At the same time, the ice sculpture shattered, and the fat man's body exploded and broke into pieces of flesh. He died a horrible death.

The changes behind him did not attract Su Ping's attention. Now he focused all his attention on the woman he had met after a long absence. He stretched out his legs and tried his best to catch up.

"Xiaohe, stop running!"

Shen He did not answer, but just walked with a strange pace, much faster than the boy. If the latter had not been injured, he would have been able to keep up with or even catch up, but he was obviously unable to do so at the moment.

Su Ping frowned. He didn't know why the other party ran away as soon as they met. He didn't know what the secret was, but at least he had to stop and explain. Only then could he feel at ease.

While running, Su Ping fell behind in an instant, and his figure in sight became smaller and smaller, almost out of sight.

“This won’t work.” Su Ping took a deep breath and could only rely on his injured body to forcefully activate his luck technique to raise his condition to the highest level.

Whoosh!

He ran forward at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and in just a moment he reached the side of the silver-haired figure. As he grabbed his arm, he felt his body sink.

The luck state disappeared, and Su Ping's face became even paler, like snow paper. He vomited a large mouthful of blood with a wow.

Shen He felt this was unusual and turned around to see that the calm and beautiful face was finally slightly moved, but it was only for a moment, fleeting like a night-blooming cereus blooming in the middle of the night.

Su Ping panted slightly, "We haven't seen each other for many years. Can you please stop running?"

Shen He lowered her head, looking at her Yunhe silk dress, and did not answer, as if she was silently apologizing to the person in front of her when she did something wrong as a child.

Su Ping stopped talking, put his hands down, let them hang naturally by his side, and looked at her quietly.

Many years ago, the two of them had a lot to say and many questions to ask each other, but now when they meet, one is silent and the other is speechless, and they are both speechless.

Shen He did not run away again. She was afraid that Su Ping would catch up with her again, so she vomited blood again. She might not have such thoughts about other people, but she could not be so heartless to the boy who had followed her since childhood.

After a while, Su Ping said, "If you don't want to tell me, I'll take it as your agreement. Tell me why you want to run away, and what's the matter with this silver hair?

When I first came back, I went to look for you nearby, but others said that your uncle had taken you away and didn’t know where he took you. Is that true?"

He guessed that Shen He must have had an adventure as well. After all, the divine eye hanging behind the other person's long hair was shining brightly and very dazzling, but he needed to know the details.

At least... just say it.

Shen He still didn't raise his head, and said in a weak but slightly stiff tone: "The year that Brother Su Ping left the village to study, my father came back. He wanted to sacrifice me to the evil god in exchange for resurrecting my deceased mother!"

Su Ping's eyes widened and his pupils shrank suddenly. The information contained in this sentence was too huge, like a mountain-destroying explosion, shocking and puzzling.

“Later, I used the exorcism dagger my mother left behind to fight the evil god for three days until I was exhausted and nearly died. It was my master who suddenly appeared and saved me!

My master accepted me as his disciple and used three combs to comb my black hair, turning it into the white silk it is today, meaning to forget my past mundane life and practice meditation in the future. Also, because my fate is to be alone and prone to hurting people around me, my master gave me a red rope to lock my life, so that from then on I would have no emotions..."

Shen He kept talking about the many things that happened after he became apprentice, how he practiced magic, killed the monsters roaming nearby, and the dilapidated scene he saw after returning today.

"I just went back to the village and my home had been demolished. Nothing was left. I also went to the south village and saw only a flat land. Did everyone move away?"

Su Ping's eyes were filled with heartache. He nodded slightly and said, "Yes, we have all moved away. Four years ago, the Rock Dragon Lizards wreaked havoc and destroyed the village, so we all moved to Liyue Harbor.

Xiaohe, you..."

"It's all over." Shen He said lightly.

Su Ping glanced at the sky, suppressed his contemplative mood, and asked with a smile: "Xiao He, let's go to that hill and take another look?"

"My fate... will eventually hurt the people around me. Even if Brother Su Ping has such strength, he will inevitably be affected." Shen He whispered, unwilling to stay any longer.

"It's just fate..." Su Ping stopped talking halfway. He seemed to be like this before, hiding from people around him because of his fate.

Su Ping laughed at himself and shook his head, saying, "Forget it, I am not qualified to say anything to you, but there is always a way to deal with everything. I will ask Master later, I hope it will be helpful!"

Shen He raised his head and asked, "Brother Su Ping, are you also a disciple of the Immortal Family?"

Su Ping turned around, nodded slightly, and said in a gentle voice: "Yes."

Shen He said nothing and followed behind him, only one or two steps away from him, just like they did when they were children, one in front and one behind.

Walking slowly with steady steps, Shen He calmed down and looked at the figure's back carefully, but her gaze became colder and colder. The joy after the reunion plus her panic just now made her not pay much attention to the injuries of the young man in front of her.

His body was covered in blood, his arms had a layer of flesh missing, and he had just spat out blood after the young man chased him. Everything indicated that he was in a very bad condition.

Shen He blamed himself, "Who did this?"

Those words were clearly questions, but because the red rope locked up her emotions, she was unable to express the exact meaning, as if those words were asking for revenge.

And this is exactly the fact. People with lonely and unlucky fate are likely to hurt people around them. The reason for this is that people with this fate are easily driven by emotions to kill, and become monsters who only know how to kill.

Su Ping immediately turned around and when he saw the woman like this, he quickly comforted her: "Xiao He, calm down!"

Shen He then came back to his senses and quickly suppressed his murderous intent. The surroundings immediately returned to peace, and the area that was about to be filled with flying sand and rocks was fortunately spared.

Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief. Even he felt that the murderous intent just now could not be ignored. It was like facing a sword drawn from its sheath, with an unmatched cold edge and awe-inspiring murderous intent.

Continuing on the road, Su Ping also explained the cause of his injuries and recounted the entire battle from beginning to end, which again aroused Shen He's indignation. She seemed to wish she was there at the time and could kill those villains directly.

Su Ping was also wondering which immortal she had worshipped under, and why she had become so temperamental now, showing murderous intent at every turn. Could it be that the immortal was not very dedicated?

After thinking about it, Su Ping felt that it was impossible. The immortals of Liyue were dedicated in any case. It was probably just that they were too busy to even take care of their disciples, which led to this situation.

There were several apple trees and sunset fruit trees planted on the small hill, but now it was past the harvest season and the branches were empty, without a single fruit.

This place is neither far nor near from Nancun, and it just happened to escape the disaster, so these trees still exist, including the two jujube trees.

The two of them walked together under the tree. The large crown of the jujube tree blocked out the sun and left a shade.

Shen He stopped and stood opposite Su Ping who turned around. One of them spoke, and the other also spoke.

"Are Uncle Yue and Aunt Li okay?"

"He's gone too... My mother died of illness when I was eight years old. My father didn't escape the Rock Dragon Lizard disaster four years ago, so I'm the only one left."

Shen He was silent, wanting to speak but hesitant.

Su Ping waved his hand. "Everything is over. Everything will get better and better. I am doing well now. I have joined the Qianyan Army and am with the woman I love, Mora Wuchou!

By the way, who is Xiao He's master? If I can in the future, I will have to go and pay my respects to him."

"It's Master Liuyun Jiefeng who lives in Jueyunjian, on the Aozang Mountain. My master has an immortal body, a crane, and his feathers are as blue as the sky. They are very beautiful." Shen He praised from the bottom of his heart according to his impression.

Lord Liuyunjifeng? A crane?

Su Ping couldn't help but recall the mechanisms that had tortured him for a while and made his training extremely effective. He had learned from his master and A Yuan that the immortal who created these mechanisms seemed to be Master Liuyunjiefeng.

"I see. Then it seems I should find time to pay my respects to him later. By the way, how is the scenery in Jueyunjian?"

"Very good, the morning and evening are different feelings, the mountains and rivers are beautiful."

"How is Xiaohe's cultivation of immortal arts?"

"Master said that I have made rapid progress and have a very good physique for cultivation."

After all, it is a fate that is plagued by loneliness and robbery. How can it be bad?

"Xiaohe, how are you doing over there?"

"Master and all the immortals treat me very well."

“Are they all very approachable?”

"Not to this extent, but not as high and mighty as the rumors say either..."

A question and an answer, just like ten years ago, except that back then, she asked the questions and he answered, and now, he asks the questions and she answers.
