Chapter 304 Sending the Immortals (4)

Yaoyao blinked her big eyes that were as bright as the clear stars, and followed Lin Huan closely with small steps as light as a kitten. Her small and cute head tilted slightly to one side, and her little face was full of puzzlement. She asked softly in a soft voice: "Sister Lin Huan, tell me, why can Mr. Zhongli answer my questions and drive away my sadness? He is so mysterious. Look at Sister Hu Tao's Hall of Rebirth, which is always filled with that mysterious and heavy atmosphere. After all, it is inextricably linked to death. But Mr. Zhongli gives me the same mysterious and unpredictable feeling as the Hall of Rebirth. I can't figure out why he can solve the discomfort in my heart caused by the departure of the Emperor, and those complicated questions like a tangled ball of thread?"

Lin Huan raised her head slightly and sighed softly. The sigh was long and deep, as if it contained countless unknown past years and many stories buried by time. After a moment, she slowly spoke, her tone gentle and soft.

"The reasons behind this are like countless threads entangled in a complex manner. It is difficult for me to explain them easily and clearly. But one thing is certain, that is, Mr. Zhongli is an extremely special person. He is like an ancient and mysterious book, with each page carrying a legendary story, and each line of text recording the long history of Liyue. I have a strange feeling that as long as you talk to him, perhaps the sadness that is flooding your heart like a raging tide can be relieved a little."

The two of them walked slowly while talking, and before they knew it, they had arrived at where Zhongli was. It was on the edge of a cliff, surrounded by exquisite railings. Compared to the bustling and lively scene in the center of the square, this place seemed particularly quiet and there were fewer people, with only a few figures walking around.

The figure standing by the railing is like a towering mountain, quietly standing on one side of the ceremony site. He stands straight, like a pine tree standing proudly between heaven and earth. His expression is peaceful and calm, and his deep eyes are like the soft and clear light in the boundless night sky, quietly gazing at the bustling ceremony site not far away. That gaze seems to have crossed the torrent of time, recalling the past that is gradually fading away, and seems to be thinking about the direction of the future. Every trace of his eyes contains the calmness of the past and the expectation of the future.

Lin Huan coughed lightly. The sound was particularly clear in the slightly silent atmosphere, instantly breaking the moment of tranquility: "Mr.

Zhongli heard the voice and turned around slowly. When his eyes fell on Lin Huan and Yaoyao, the calm expression in his eyes, which was as still as a rock, softened a little, just like a warm candle suddenly lit in the cold night, and a gentle smile flickered in his deep eyes.

"Ah Huan, you're here."

"Yes, I'm here." Lin Huan gently pushed Yaoyao and pushed her in front of him, his eyes full of encouragement, like the warmest sunshine in spring, shining warmly on Yaoyao. She said softly, "Sir, this is Yaoyao. I specially picked her up from Bubulu today. She is the disciple of Grandma Ping. I promised her before that I would take her to stay in the hotel of Baiju Nijiu."

As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Yaoyao, her eyes became more gentle, and her tone became softer, "Yaoyao has been unable to let go of the Emperor's departure, and there are countless words in her heart. Yaoyao, you can tell Mr. Zhongli all your thoughts. If you tell him, he will... be willing to listen."

Yaoyao looked at Zhongli timidly. In her eyes, the man in front of her was like an ancient and mysterious mountain. He exuded an awe-inspiring temperament, as if he was hiding endless mysterious power. She pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and clenched and unclenched her hands unconsciously, as if to inject courage into her heart. Then she took a deep breath, mustered up the courage and said,

"Mr. Zhongli, hello! I'm Yaoyao. Sister Ah Huan said very well about you, saying that you are willing to listen to me and can drive away all the sadness in my heart. But, Mr. Zhongli, I feel like there is a big stone in my heart now, which makes me feel uncomfortable. To me, Emperor is like the brightest and most beautiful moon in the night sky, always shining on us. But now that Emperor is gone, it's like someone has dug a big hole in my chest. It's empty and sad. Mr. Zhongli, I... I really miss Emperor so much. I don't want to believe that he has really left us. Everyone is saying that he is gone, but I always feel that he is still watching us silently somewhere, just like when he was protecting us before, that feeling is so real."

Zhongli leaned forward slightly and half-crouched in front of Yaoyao. His movements were graceful and slow. He looked at Yaoyao levelly and raised his hand to touch the top of her head. His amber eyes were deep and peaceful, like a bottomless pool, or like the universe and starry sky that contained endless wisdom. The vicissitudes of life left deep marks in his eyes. He spoke slowly, his voice was low and mellow, like the sound of an ancient bell echoing in the valley.

"Hello, little Yaoyao. It's such a happy thing to know you and see you. I know that the departure of the Emperor makes your heart feel like being weighed down by a heavy dark cloud, sad and reluctant, just like your most beloved baby disappeared all of a sudden, that feeling must be unpleasant. But, Yaoyao, you have to know that the Emperor is also a gentle breeze. The wind is invisible, but we can feel its touch. The same is true for the Emperor. Although he is no longer in front of us, wherever he goes, he leaves his warm and powerful breath."

"Look, every blade of grass, every brick and tile of Liyue carries the Emperor's memory. Look at the busy shops on the street. They can operate in peace because of the Emperor's protection. Those children playing and laughing in peace are also the result of the Emperor's protection. The Emperor's love for Liyue is like the earth's support for all things, moistening everything silently, but everywhere.

And Xiaoyaoyao, you are like a flower blooming on the land of Liyue, delicate and beautiful. The departure of the Emperor is just the change of seasons. His power has turned into rain and dew that nourishes Liyue and pours on you, allowing you to thrive. With this power, your kindness and hard work, you continue to bring vitality and hope to Liyue. This is the best commemoration of the Emperor. So, don't let sadness shroud you for a long time, just like dark clouds cannot cover the sun, your heart must always be filled with sunshine, because that is what the Emperor wants to see you. "

Yaoyao's eyes sparkled with tears, and those tears were like crystal clear pearls, shining in her innocent and sad eyes, reflecting her inner pain and reluctance. She choked and said, "Is that so... But why did he leave us? We love him so much, just like flowers cannot live without the sunshine and fish cannot live without the nourishment of water. Without the Emperor, I feel like Liyue has lost its color and has become different."

Zhongli raised his head slightly and looked into the distance, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, as if he was recalling the long time when the Emperor protected Liyue. His face was soft and warm under the sunlight.

After a moment, he lowered his head and his eyes fell on Yaoyao again. With a gentle smile on his lips, he said softly: "The years that the Emperor has protected Liyue are like a long, endless river. Every wave carries his love for this land, and every drop of water nourishes the soul of Liyue." His hand rested lightly on Yaoyao's shoulder, and his movements were as gentle as a breeze.

"He has paved a path for Liyue to a bright future, just like lighting guiding lights in the darkness. Those lights will always flicker on our way forward, illuminating the way for us." Zhongli's voice was deep and mellow, like an ancient piece of music, soothing and moving.

He bent down slightly and looked at Yaoyao at eye level, his eyes full of encouragement: "Now, it is time for the people of Liyue to move forward on their own. This is also the emperor's earnest hope. His departure is not the end of an era, but the beginning of another new era. It is the starting point for Liyue to move towards another glorious chapter, and it is an opportunity for us to show our own strength. We must carry the emperor's blessing and move forward bravely."

Yaoyao nodded, not quite understanding. Her small hands pinched the corners of her clothes unconsciously, again and again, making deep wrinkles on the corners, just like her tangled but gradually clear heart. She said in a childish but extremely firm tone: "Will the Emperor know that I am thinking about him? I practice very hard every day. I really want him to see my progress. I want him to know that I am not lazy. I have been working hard to become someone who can protect Liyue."

Zhongli looked at Yaoyao, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a warm smile. That smile was like a spring breeze gently blowing across the calm lake, causing warm ripples that spread in the air.

"He will definitely know, Xiaoyaoyao. Every effort you make, every sincere thought you give to me, is like the brightest stars in the night sky, shining with a unique light in the vast night sky of Liyue. The Emperor will definitely be able to see it. Just like this grand ceremony of sending off the immortals, it carries the emotions of countless Liyue people and will transcend time and space to where he is. Your thoughts are the best way to remember his protection of Liyue, and are also the most precious emotional bond between you and the Emperor."

Yaoyao nodded vigorously, her little head shaking up and down like pounding garlic, the tears in her eyes were gradually replaced by a firmness, that firmness was like the first ray of sunshine penetrating the clouds at dawn: "I understand, Mr. Zhongli. I will be fine, I will carry the emperor's expectations of us, work hard to grow, I want to make the emperor proud of me!"
