Lin Huan frowned slightly and looked at Tartaglia. A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, including dissatisfaction with his previous behavior and a hint of gratitude for his help at this moment.

"Thank you, Mr. Tartaglia. But even so, I still cannot easily forgive what you did to Liyue this time."

Although her voice was weak, it was full of unquestionable determination.

Tartaglia shrugged and said, "I understand, Miss Lin Huan. After all, I didn't expect you to let it go right away. As an executive officer of the Fatui, we are on different sides. This action is just for each of us. I really didn't expect you to be an immortal. In our previous dealings, you did a good job of hiding your identity. However, I still admire your performance in this storm. You are tenacious enough."

Hearing this, Lin Huan lowered his eyes slightly, "Facing such a cautious and experienced executive, I really have to be careful at every step. Now that I hear you say this, it seems that I have done a good job in disguising my identity before."

Tartaglia smiled softly, with a complicated look in her eyes. "Ms. Lin Huan, to receive such an evaluation from you can be regarded as a kind of recognition of my ability. However, everything in this world is complicated and ever-changing. Although we have conflicting positions today, perhaps we can work together in the future."

"Let's go... No matter what, let's go see Mr. Zhongli first."

He exerted a little force on his hands to steady Lin Huan, then continued walking upstairs with steady steps.

Entering the Northland Bank, the atmosphere inside was heavy and oppressive. Mr. Zhongli stood not far away, his figure as tall as a pine tree, showing the rare majesty of the Rock King. His eyes were as deep as the sea, and when he looked at Lin Huan, a trace of barely perceptible worry flashed in his eyes. The lady stood aside, with a proud look, as if everything was under control.

Lin Huan broke free from Tartaglia's support and bowed slightly to Mr. Zhongli, "Sir, I'm here. Although I'm a little embarrassed... but fortunately I have fulfilled my mission."

Hearing this, Mr. Zhongli walked towards Lin Huan without any hesitation, carefully supported her somewhat shaky body, let her stand up against him, then turned and looked at Tartaglia, his voice in a low tone, every word seemed to carry a thousand pounds of force.

"Tardalia, you and I are both in the middle of today's battle. I'm sure you know the right and wrong. Lin Huan's current situation is the heavy price he paid for protecting Liyue. His mental fortitude and courage are awe-inspiring. Sir, although we have different positions, we have had a time to talk side by side. The things we experienced should not be easily forgotten."

Mr. Zhongli paused for a moment, his aura becoming more majestic, as if an invisible force was spreading around him. "Liyue is a place that values ​​contracts and friendship. This incident has left a deep mark in Liyue's history. I hope you can remember what you have seen and heard in these days, and in the future, you must not let Liyue fall into such tragic disputes where lives are lost and cities are destroyed. Otherwise, you will have to bear the consequences of violating Liyue's will."

After saying this, he seemed to be completely oblivious to the completely different expressions of the two people behind him. His expression was focused and solemn like a sculpture. He lowered his eyes slightly, and gently but firmly pressed Lin Huan's forehead with one hand. His palm seemed to have the endless calmness and strength of a mountain. The other hand was firmly placed on Lin Huan's back. At this moment, the long braid on his waist suddenly shone brightly, dazzling like the scorching sun in the sky, and seemed to contain the energy of the entire universe. The light was so strong that it was impossible to look directly at it, as if it could swallow up everything around it.

Then, it seemed as if an endless and surging divine power rushed out from it. This divine power was like a raging river, swirling wildly around him, bringing up waves of energy whirlwinds. Then, like a trickle, it poured into Lin Huan's body accurately and gently. Every bit of divine power seemed to have life, carefully penetrating into every inch of her skin and every cell, as if to repair her severely damaged and almost broken body inch by inch, and rekindle her vitality that was almost extinguished like a candle in the wind.

The lady was stunned at first, then she raised her lips with a hint of sarcasm and chuckled, "Oh, this is really surprising. I thought that the Heart of God was as important as Mount Tai in your eyes, but I didn't expect that you would use it to treat this girl. I thought that you were cold and ruthless, like a rock, and you were not moved by external things. I didn't expect that you would be willing to give up everything for someone. This is really... an eye-opener for me."

There was a complex light flashing in her eyes, including disdain, jealousy, and a hint of inexplicable pleasure from an unexpected discovery.

Zhongli slowly raised his eyes, his gaze was like the light of dawn, majestic and solemn, looking straight at the lady. His eyes were as deep as the abyss, as if containing thousands of years of wisdom and power, and he said coldly: "Don't lie! Lin Huan was seriously injured to protect Liyue, and this was because of the righteousness of protection. As the Rock King, I should protect her in this last moment. This is not an emotion that you can understand, nor is it an action that you can measure by interests. You fools have always used any means to achieve your goals, wantonly trampling on life and friendship, how can you understand the importance of protecting a piece of land and protecting a piece of people, and you will not understand the deep friendship contained here. Don't use your narrow-minded hearts to speculate on the friendship of Liyue."

The lady was frightened by Zhongli's gaze, which was as majestic as a substance. Her smile froze in an instant, and a trace of anger and shame flashed in her eyes. She opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but the moment she met Zhongli's gaze, she swallowed her words back, and her expression became more gloomy.
