Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

Ying and Paimeng left quietly. No one knew they came, and no one knew they were leaving.

Nan Zhangsheng wandered the streets again. The bracelet still failed to contact his teacher Alice, and he was unable to ask for some technological creations to resist the impending disaster.

A gust of cold wind blew by, biting and chilling. The young man in blue couldn't help but tighten his collar and shrink his neck as he moved forward.

When did he become so afraid of the cold?

Yes, we are all 32 years old, not that young anymore.

……

In the sky, the sea of ​​clouds was rolling, and on the Aozang Mountain, there were two figures.

The cliffs were steep and the wind was freezing, but the wind blowing on the two women's faces did not make them feel very cold.

"Aunt, have these wooden figures really ever made Dad lose face?"

"Yes, and I heard it more than once."

"No way? Dad used to be so powerful..."

"Although I don't want to admit it, everyone has to work hard before growing up, and Brother Su Ping is no exception."

"Well, I hope these wooden figures that can beat my father in his weak period can be of some use."

"Will do."

Wooden man, wooden man. I wonder what the True Lord guarding the border of Teyvat would think when he heard someone call her blood and sweat like that casually?

Moreover, one of them, who was her disciple, did not even correct it. Could it be that he had also forgotten the original name of the mechanism?

……

The ninth year is the last year.

In the first month of this year, a group of people, dressed in ancient clothes, behaved in ancient ways, and even spoke like ancient people, entered Liyue Harbor.

After the residents along the street saw this, they started spreading rumors about the identities of this group of people. Some said they were from a family of immortals, some said they were relatives of the Seven Stars, and finally someone even saw them go to the General Affairs Department with no obstructions along the way, and there were also rumors that they were part of a certain intelligence organization.

Three people make a tiger, and people's words are scary, but that's all.

"Lord Kaiyangxing, I'm asking you to take care of the young men of my tribe joining the army on the battlefield."

In a rest room of the General Affairs Department, an old man in his seventies with completely white hair and beard and wrinkles on his face as deep as a mountain gorge spoke solemnly.

Opposite the old man was another old man, but his real age, only counting his age in this life, was far less than that of Kaiyangxing, that is, Su Ping, who nodded.

"Don't worry, old sir. The Exorcists are willing to contribute to the defense of Liyue Harbor at the risk of their own lives. On behalf of the residents of the harbor, I would like to thank them in advance."

"Don't dare, defend your country, everyone should have this heart."

"If it is really as the old gentleman said, it is very good."

The Exorcist Clan is a family with a long heritage in Liyue. However, in the past five hundred years since the Liyue Harbor, news about this family has rarely circulated to the outside world. The once huge clan has thus disappeared into the world and no longer appears in the world.

In the final analysis, it was all due to the decision made by the head of the family at that time. As for right or wrong, it has become a thing of the past and will be lost in the long river of time.

"Old sir, the nobles used to live in seclusion in the mountains, and only a few of them walked outside. It seems that there are even fewer of them in this generation?"

"Yes, at this time only Chongyun is left. My grandson still likes the outside world and is willing and agrees to go out. The rest of them are living in seclusion in the clan."

"Xiao He... Shen He's mother is also from the clan?"

As one of the Seven Stars and with a wife who is a spy chief, how could he not know about this?

The old man nodded silently, closing his eyes as if he didn't want to reveal the sadness inside, and slowly said: "Shen He's mother is my younger sister, the only daughter of this generation. She was one of those who was keen on the outside world back then, but... unfortunately, things in the world are unpredictable."

Su Ping sighed, "Old sir, the nobles' move-in to Liyue Harbor will be implemented as soon as possible. There is another matter that I hope you will take care of."

The old man asked tentatively: "Shen He?"

"Yes. Xiaohe deserves a home, a home that remembers her name."

"Lord Kaiyangxing has taken very good care of Shen He in recent years. It may be too much to ask her to move. Although Lord Kaiyangxing has good intentions, it is still unknown what Shen He wants."

"Don't worry about that, old sir. As long as the Exorcist family is willing to accommodate a little girl like her and has a place to accommodate her, I will go and persuade them."

"Sir..." The old man opened his eyes, but was deeply puzzled, "Why?"

Su Ping smiled calmly and said, "I just said that I would let her have a home."

The old man shook his head, "In terms of interpersonal communication, Shen He is much better here than in the clan. If you ask where he is attached to, it should be the Fairyland of Jueyunjian if not here. How can it be the turn of our clan? What is it that you are worried about, sir?"

Su Ping suppressed his smile and said calmly, "People say that old ginger is still spicy. It is true. I will not hide it from you, sir. I am worried that after this war, there may not be many people left of me and my family. Instead of letting Xiao He guard a dangerous wall, it is better to find another way out, especially since I am worried about Xiao He's fate."

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "Your Excellency's intention is indeed good. But as for fate, it is determined by heaven, and even immortals cannot understand it. How can I, a mere mortal, help me?"

"I have my own way to help her, but I need you to lend a helping hand."

"I have observed your fate, and it is one in ten thousand. Over the past thousand years, no one in the clan has had such a fate."

"I have my own way, but I hope that the old gentleman will agree to let Shen He join the clan and recognize his ancestors."

"How could this matter change?"

"It is inconvenient to tell you the secrets of the younger generation."

"Well, I will take care of this matter."

"Thank you, old sir."

"This secret method... since it is a secret that is not passed on, I have not explored it much. I never thought that I, who claimed to have returned to the mountains, would hear things outside the window, but I didn't know that such a strange method would be produced by talented people in every generation!"

With thousands of sighs and thousands of amazements, the vigorous old man left to make arrangements with professionals. When he walked out of the door, he seemed a little older than before. I don't know if it was because he heard that some younger generations wanted to return to the clan, or because he was tired from talking too much just now.

To be honest, the exorcists' move into Liyue Harbor had nothing to do with being the commander of an army. It was only because of future wars and because he was Shen He's mother's native tribe that it fell to Su Ping.

As for the subsequent matters, there will be professionals to handle them. As a disabled person and an amateur, he will not join in the fun.

Through a group of guards and spies around him, he soon learned the whereabouts of Shen He. Su Ping, sitting in a wheelchair, quickly rushed to the Qun Yu Pavilion.

This heavenly palace is located in the sea of ​​clouds. It is as deep and quiet as a fairyland, surrounded by mist and floating like a dream.

On the plywood, a graceful figure stood alone. Her frosty eyes made her exquisite face lack the worldly airs, and instead added the illusion of being cold and like a fairy from heaven.

Of course, this fairy who is not a fairy, would smile unconsciously, very lightly and fleetingly, when she heard the sound of the wheelchair and saw the person in the light yellow fur coat and the face that was once pretty but now looked as old as the bark of an ancient tree.

"Brother Su Ping." Shen He called softly, and naturally took the wheelchair from the spy. Following his instructions, he pushed him on the splint.

Gragala... The wheelchair rolled over the deck, making a very regular sound, which was very pleasant to some people.

Su Ping felt the breeze brushing his cheeks, a little cold, but barely acceptable. He habitually pulled his fur coat tightly around him and said in a warm voice, "Xiao He, someone from the Exorcist Clan came just now. He's an old gentleman, quite knowledgeable, and should be a good person."

Shen He said slowly: "To be praised by Brother Su Ping, the old gentleman must be a capable person."

"Well, the old man also said that when the war is settled and the world is at peace, we are welcome to go to the secluded place of the clan."

"That's great. Ling Ling will probably like it."

"When the time comes, Xiao He, you can go and take a look too. After all... it's your aunt's mother's clan, so you should go back."

"Brother Su Ping..."

Unexpectedly, Shen He's reply consisted of only these four words, and although there was nothing wrong with his tone, Su Ping felt a little flustered and a little distant.

After a moment of silence, Su Ping finally spoke up: "Go and have a look. Promise me, okay?"

Shen He lowered his eyelids slightly, looked at the already sparse white hair in front of him, pursed his lips and said softly: "Can I not go?"

"It's always a good thing to visit more places and walk around. Besides, that place is closely related to my aunt. People always need a place to stay to feel comfortable. What do you think?"

"It's great here. There's Sister Ningguang, Lingling and Yunqing, and Brother Su Ping. There are many people and many things. Everything is great."

"You haven't seen much of the outside world yet, so of course you think this place is okay. But when you cross the mountains, cross the boundless seas, and visit various places in Teyvat, you will find that the prosperity of Liyue Harbor is nothing."

"Xiao He has been out before and is already tired. He doesn't want to go out again. He just wants to spend the rest of his life in the Qun Yu Pavilion. Please, Brother Su Ping, stop talking. Don't... chase Xiao He away!"

"Can I still support you for the rest of your life?" Su Ping frowned, and his face, which looked like dry bark, became wrinkled, forming an extremely ferocious look.

Shen He felt a little lost. Just listening to that voice that seemed to be broken by torture would make a middle-aged man feel heartbroken. "Didn't Brother Su Ping say that as long as Xiao He doesn't want to leave, he can stay for the rest of his life?"

"Did I say that?" Su Ping lost his confidence instantly. His temper just now was unreasonable. How could he still hold on after being pointed out what happened back then?

"I did!" Shen He insisted.

In fact, no matter whether he said it or not, the result today would be that he said it, because Su Ping's memory is far worse than before, and if Shen He insisted, how easy would it be to create something out of nothing?

“This… but…” Su Ping was incoherent for a moment. He was thrown off balance, like an old man who had been preparing his words for a long time but was thrown off balance by the words of his junior. He tried hard to recall something, but could not grasp it.

"Anyway, Brother Su Ping, please don't talk about this anymore. Xiao He doesn't want to go."

Just like that, Shen He's plan to trace his ancestral roots officially came to an end.

Afterwards, Su Ping was the only one who could sigh.

The experiences of two lifetimes had made him a little obsessed with matters of blood relationship. He was now in his "old age" when he was the most stubborn in doing things, so it was inevitable that he would act excessively.

However, asking Shen He to recognize his ancestors was not just because of this matter. In fact, there was another reason, which concerned Su Ping's life...
