Original God Zhongli BG Xiao Qinglong traveled through time

Chapter 229 No light?

Lin Huan stood there quietly, her eyes seemed to be attracted by a strong magnet, staring at the door that was slowly closing. There were mixed emotions in her eyes, loss was like a dark haze, helplessness was like a thick fog, but there was no trace of confusion. She stared at it like this, as if she was solemnly bidding farewell to the past, and as if she was silently harboring expectations in her heart.

She didn't know that there was a man standing silently by the window on the second floor, with his hands behind his back, like a statue frozen in time. Only his slightly trembling, flickering eyes, revealing an elusive emotion, were staring at her intently and reluctantly.

After a long while, Lin Huan seemed to wake up from a long old dream. She took a deep breath and a faint sigh escaped from her trembling lips. Then, she slowly turned around and looked at the puppet. She said in a tired voice, "... Let's go..."

The puppet looked at Lin Huan like this, his heart was like a surging wave, with all kinds of mixed feelings. He hesitated to speak, glanced sideways several times, and finally broke the silence at the long steps in front of the pier: "In fact, there is no need to be so sad, maybe there will be a turn for the better, who knows?"

Lin Huan paused for a moment, without responding, and continued walking in silence. The puppet sighed, said no more, and followed quietly behind him.

The figures of the two were stretched out slender and lonely in the afterglow of the setting sun. The hustle and bustle of the street seemed to be isolated by an invisible curtain, and their footsteps seemed particularly clear and heavy in the silence.

Lin Huan's eyes were tired but not empty. The door brought back many memories, but her mind was still clear. The breeze gently brushed her hair, but it could not soothe the subtle emotions in her heart.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the night fell quietly like black silk, and the stars were like bright gems, lighting up the road ahead. As the night deepened, Lin Huan's mood gradually calmed down. She looked up at the sky, with a faint smile on her lips.

"Maybe..." He murmured softly, as ethereal as smoke in the silent night.

Under the cover of night, a figure stood quietly at the bottom of the plaque at the entrance of Liyue Harbor.

The figure was slightly blurry in the hazy moonlight, but it exuded an unwavering aura. Lin Huan and the puppet gradually approached, and only then did he see clearly that it was Xiao.

Xiao's figure appeared cold and lonely in the moonlight. He raised his eyes slightly and looked at the two people who were gradually approaching.

Lin Huan was slightly startled, but he unconsciously revealed a somewhat relaxed look...

Xiao snorted and said, "I've been waiting here just to see you. I know you already have insight into the current situation, but I just want you to know that I'm always here."

A warm current surged in Lin Huan's heart, and he said softly, "Thank you."

Xiao raised his head and looked at the vast starry sky, and said slowly: "Things in the world have a predetermined number, but there are also variables... The coming and going of people does not necessarily mean the end, but perhaps a brand new beginning."

Lin Huan nodded slightly and fell into deep thought.

Xiao continued, "Fate is unpredictable, but the heart of the Tao that you hold fast to should be steadfast and unwavering. Don't be troubled or constrained by temporary emotions."

A glimmer of understanding flashed across Lin Huan's eyes, and he said softly, "I understand."

Xiao nodded slightly, his figure flashed, and he disappeared into the night in an instant. Only the words that remained in the wind conveyed his earnest instructions.

"I believe you have your own wise judgment... Let's meet at Wangshu Inn. You can live here with your friends before the Lantern Festival."

Lin Huan looked at the place where Xiao disappeared, his heart filled with deep emotion. Seeing this, the puppet slightly side-glanced at Lin Huan and said softly: "Look, the road ahead is not completely covered by darkness... There will always be someone who will never leave you."

Lin Huan took a deep breath and said, "Well... let's go. Xiao is waiting at Wangshu Inn. Don't keep him waiting for too long..."

The two figures continued to move forward in the night. The inky sky, dotted with stars, silently covered the earth.

Suddenly, the puppet spoke with a familiar mockery and calm voice: "Hey, this is really strange. I am an executive officer of the Fatui, and I am in a confidential place in Liyue, but no one is on guard against me?"

The puppet narrowed its eyes slightly, revealing a hint of doubt and unruliness, and the corners of its mouth were raised, with a somewhat cynical look.

Lin Huan raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes were clear and calm, her expression was calm, like a quiet lake in autumn, without a ripple. She opened her red lips and responded calmly.

"Perhaps, it's because you haven't done anything in Liyue that would arouse anyone's vigilance..."

Lin Huan paused for a moment, his eyes deep and steady, and he said in a deep voice, "Or perhaps, the people of Liyue have their own thoughts and judgments."

The puppet snorted, hugged his chest and frowned, "Hmph, don't stare at me like that. Don't worry, I will never cause any trouble in Liyue." His expression was a little impatient, but he seemed to be trying his best to make his position clear.

"If there are any missions in the future, they will be the responsibility of other colleagues. You know it very well. I will only be active in Inazuma."

Lin Huan looked serious, and then said: "That's right. Each of us should guard our own territory to avoid unnecessary conflicts."

The puppet shrugged helplessly, a hint of compromise on his face, and said, "Okay, okay, I was wrong, okay?"

"It's good to admit your mistakes. Remember this in the future. Don't say some words lightly." Lin Huan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and the smile was looming, and he said with a bit of ridicule:

"However... the executive officer came to Liyue to meet a friend for tea for personal reasons... this matter is not serious enough to be targeted by the authorities, so don't worry!"

After that, the two of them stopped talking and continued to move steadily towards Wangshu Inn, accompanied by the night.
