Original God Zhongli BG Xiao Qinglong traveled through time

"Alright... I see your will." Xiao sighed softly and retracted his strength. "Never mind... Go ahead. But, be careful and don't be impulsive."

Seeing Xiao let go, Lin Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She nodded, put away her spear, and sat down shakily. Holding the spear, her head resting on the cold spear shaft, she turned her head to look at the young immortal master standing beside her.

"Xiao, you should sit for a while..."

"I can't... The monsters in Ogihua Island have not been completely eliminated... I can't rest yet." Xiao was in a bad mood and his tone was cold.

"Then... do you need me to go with you?" Lin Huan chuckled.

"Don't you remember your duties? I don't think you will have time to go with me to eliminate monsters, Mr. Feng." Xiao retorted.

“…You really are…” Lin Huan turned around angrily, “Since Dihuazhou is safe, I will leave first and return to Liyue Harbor.”

Chasing the dark green figure that disappeared on the spot and galloped towards Tianheng, Xiao's eyes softened unconsciously.

"But to be honest, he has indeed grown...Although it's still a bit tricky, it's worth looking forward to."

Let's put aside the story of Dihuazhou for now and talk about Huifeng Huixianshi. She showed up beside the rock statue at the foot of Tianheng Mountain and walked slowly along the official road to the mountain pass. Along the way, the garrison soldiers greeted her one after another.

"Is Mr. Feng back?"

"Mr. Feng, has the situation in Dihuazhou been resolved?"

"Well... it's safe now. Master Xiao has returned." Lin Huan nodded. "How is it? Everything is fine. The unrest on the Dihua Island defense line these days has not affected this side, right?"

"Please rest assured, sir." The soldier pointed his spear at the ground. "When we couldn't stop them over there, a few monsters would occasionally break through, but we stopped them all. We didn't let any of them get close to the mountain pass defense line."

"Thank you for your hard work." Lin Huan said slowly. "I'll go to the city first. If there is any change, please call me at any time. Don't be stubborn."

"Yes." The soldier saluted.

Seeing that everything was fine on this side, Lin Huan turned around and looked towards Liyue Harbor. Just before he was about to make a gesture to enter the stealth mode, he suddenly heard someone behind him calling out.

"Excuse me, but... Master Fengxian?"

Lin Huan looked back and saw two men in long gowns standing in the center of her sight. They were tall and of similar stature. They might be brothers. Their faces were quite similar. The one closer to her had short black hair with a few strands of silver in it. He was handsome, well-mannered, and very majestic. But looking at his face, he seemed... familiar? Maybe, he had seen him somewhere before... But, where had he seen him before? She seemed to have no impression of this. Looking down, she noticed that he was holding a disc-shaped... magical instrument in his hand, right?

Lin Huan felt that his behavior was a bit rude, so he retracted his gaze and nodded slightly.

"Well, I am."

"My name is Boyang, and this is my younger brother Rong Zhao, a sorcerer who is heading to the front line of the Layered Rock Abyss to provide support. Mr. Feng is going into the city? I wonder if we can go together?" The gentleman holding the magic weapon chuckled.

"Of course." Lin Huan smiled slightly.

After passing the highest cave entrance and walking down a few steps, I finally saw the port city that was still brightly lit in the night... The thousands of lights did not appear to be scattered and depressed due to the war, but were brighter and more persistent than before. The residents in the city did not stand by and watch indifferently because they were being protected. On the contrary, they were doing their best to do small things within their ability, helping each other, and contributing money, effort, and manpower. Looking at the bright lights in front of him and the pedestrians walking on the road, Lin Huan suddenly felt as if his heart was also surrounded by warmth, and endless power emerged.

"What are you thinking about, Mr. Feng?" The voice of a younger-looking man, Rong Zhao, came from behind.

“I’m thinking…” Lin Huan said slowly, “With Liyue like this, I really don’t believe we will be crushed by disasters. I think if the Emperor comes back, he will be proud of everything we see at this moment.”

"That's natural... Mr. Feng." Bo Yang smiled lightly, "You see, this is the power of mankind. Although it is small, but together... can it hold up the sky?"

"I believe that humans can do it, even if the gods are not by their side." Lin Huan smiled.

"Okay, let's not waste time." Lin Huan said softly, "Let's go into the city, rest for a night, and go to Layer Rock together tomorrow."

"Mr. Feng, you also..." Boyang was a little surprised. Is this... okay?

"Can't I lend you a helping hand?" Lin Huan asked back.

"Ah... of course I can... just."

"Don't worry." Lin Huan said firmly. "I should have gone a long time ago."

The lights in the Hall of Rebirth were dimmed at night.

Lin Huan closed the door gently and wanted to quietly return to his room, but he didn't expect that when he turned around, he was scared by the old man standing by the stone table.

"...Uncle Hu, you scared me to death!" Lin Huan patted his chest lightly, holding down the long sword that was about to be unsheathed. It was a subconscious reaction on the battlefield...

Hu Jing turned on the light, said nothing, and just stared at her quietly. In the light, Lin Huan also carefully observed her elders. These days, Uncle Hu must have been very hard... The old man has lost a lot of weight, his straight back has bent a little, the brilliance in his eyes has faded, with a little fatigue, and a few more strands of white hair on his temples, which made her heart a little sour.

"You... finally came back..." After a long time, Hu Jing called softly with trembling lips.

"Well... go home and have a look. Uncle Hu, are you... okay?" Lin Huan also responded in a low voice. She didn't dare to tell him about what was about to happen... or about what she had been doing on the battlefield before, for fear that the old man she loved deeply would worry.

"You haven't been injured these days... have you?" Hall Master Hu did not ask any further questions. He just touched Lin Huan's cold palms, which were calloused from gripping the spear tightly, and whispered.

"I... am very careful." Lin Huan's voice was a little choked, and he said softly, "I know someone is worried about me, so I dare not... get hurt. How about you, Uncle Hu? These days, Wangsheng Hall must be very hard..."

"Of course there is nothing we can do." Hall Master Hu sighed tiredly, "There are too many things to do, and too many casualties... Bubu Lu and Wangsheng Hall are too busy to handle it, but they are both working as hard as they can without stopping."

“But how can we give up?” Master Hu sighed tremblingly, “If we let go, what will happen to the injured people... But there are too many people, too many people have died because of the disaster..."

Lin Huan held the old man's hand, gritted his teeth, and said nothing.

"Uncle Hu..." Lin Huan felt that every word he pronounced was difficult and frictionless.

"...It's okay, Ah Huan, no need to comfort me, I know what I should do." Uncle Hu shook his head and chuckled, "Wangsheng Hall, isn't that what it does? Don't worry about me, I'm an old man with a strong body! I can still hold on. You...go and do what you are doing now."

“Hmm…” Lin Huan opened his arms and gently hugged the little old man who looked much thinner than the last time they met.

"Uncle Hu, I miss you very much and I love you very much..."

"Me too."

"Uncle Hu, I'm sorry, I couldn't find Brother Xingzhi. I don't know where he went, whether he is safe, or what his... current situation is. I have the letter in my hand, but I haven't been able to send it out yet... and I don't have the chance to find him and beat him up. Tell him that you... are waiting for him to come home."

"It doesn't matter... I know my Ah Huan has tried his best."

"Uncle Hu... I really saw the Emperor. It was the Emperor's husband... He will definitely come back. He will not ignore Liyue. He just left for a while because of something. He is also far away, fighting side by side with us. Please believe him... He will definitely come back."

"I know that we haven't given up. We are saving ourselves, we are saving others, we are waiting for him, we believe in him, and we will keep believing and waiting."

"Yes... we can't slack off, we can't give up, we can't admit defeat, and we can't... despair."

"Uncle Hu...Good night, I'm leaving now."

"Go ahead. As I said before...stay safe. I'll wait for you to come home."
