Genshin Impact: A Scattered Soldier Traveling Back in Time

Dihuazhou, Wangshu Inn

"Emperor!"

Zhongli did not turn around after hearing the voice, but said calmly: "This journey may be risky, if you insist on going..."

"I have been guarding this place for more than a hundred years and never leave it without permission. Only regarding the matter of Wuming Yaksha, I sincerely ask the emperor for permission."

Xiao stood there with his head down and pleaded.

Three of the five Yakshas died and one is missing. Now the missing Yaksha has become a knot in his heart.

Now that he has found the clue, he will pursue it no matter how great the risk.

Even if the results are not satisfactory.

"You have a lot of karma, why don't you go find him?"

Zhongli knew Xiao's determination. He did not try to stop him, but instead became concerned about his karma.

Zhongli was helpless against the karma on Xiao and could only suppress it with medicine. Even the Wind God who possessed the power of purification could only alleviate it.

This situation lasted for a long time until it was resolved with the appearance of昽.

Hearing Zhongli's question, Xiao replied: "Yan is far away in Inazuma now. If I leave without permission, something unexpected might happen, so..."

An expected answer.

Zhongli felt helpless when he heard this. This child is good in every way except that he is too stubborn.

There are so many immortals in Liyue Harbor, and with me in charge, nothing will happen even if Xiao leaves temporarily.

But he would rather endure the torture of karma than trouble others.

"Well, just do it yourself."

Children always have their own ideas when they grow up. Just like what they did with Liyue Harbor, they also chose to let go of Xiao and Zhongli.

"Thank you, Emperor, for your help."

A gentle breeze blew the corner of Zhongli's clothes, and Xiao had disappeared.

……

After a brief conversation with Wendy, Yan felt much better.

He left Mond and started on his journey again.

Arriving at Liyue Harbor, Yun thought that since he had already met Venti, he might as well meet with Zhongli to chat and reminisce about the past.

When we arrived at the teahouse, Dr. Tea was still telling the story. When it came to the climax, he even moved his hands, which drew cheers from the people below.

He looked around and saw a lot of people around. After all, for those who are not very wealthy, listening to books is a very affordable way of entertainment.

But there was no sign of Zhongli among them.

"It's really strange. Zhongli didn't come here to listen to the book today?"

He found a secluded spot to sit down, ordered a cup of tea, and began to listen to the book like Zhongli.

After finishing the tea, Yan shook his head and left the teahouse.

I don’t know how Zhongli manages to sit here and listen to books every day. Anyway, I just can’t appreciate it.

He still prefers to drink tea in a quiet place.

Coming out of the teahouse, Ying walked towards the Hall of Rebirth.

I plan to go there and take a look to see if Zhongli is there.

"Hey, why are you here in the Hall of Rebirth? Come in and have a seat. We haven't seen each other for a long time. I have to treat you well."

Unexpectedly, Hu Tao actually stayed in the Wangsheng Hall today instead of promoting her Wangsheng Hall's business outside.

"No need, I'm here to look for Zhongli, is he here?"

Yan asked calmly.

"Are you talking about the guest official? I don't know where he has been hanging out recently. Oh no, he has been wandering around in the secular world. He hasn't come back for several days. This hall master has been looking for him recently."

Walnut said angrily.

If Zhongli had not been in the Wangsheng Hall, how could she have stayed there peacefully? She would have gone out to cause trouble long ago, or to attract customers.

"By the way, if you see him, you must tell him. If he doesn't come back, I will deduct all his wages!"

Hearing Hu Tao's complaint, Yan added mercilessly, "That's useless. Zhongli won't bring Mora with him when he buys things. He will only say one thing: put the bill on the Wangsheng Hall account."

"That's true."

Upon hearing what Yan said, Hu Tao's face froze and his expression became visibly weak.

She scratched her head and shouted, "Is there no way to punish him?

Haha, seeing Hu Tao's look, he chuckled with a hint of ridicule in his voice.

It would be fun if she knew that the guest official he was talking about was Liyue's Geo King, right?

However, since Zhongli was not in the Hall of the Reborn, Yan didn't want to stay here any longer. After all, a funeral home was somewhat unlucky.

He turned around and left the Wangsheng Hall directly, leaving Hu Tao alone, disheveled in the wind, thinking about how to punish his own guest official.

Passing by Wanmin Hall, Yan was suddenly stopped by someone.

He pressed down the brim of his hat with some displeasure.

He was just going shopping to relax, why were there so many people disturbing him?

"Mr. Yan, long time no see."

Because it is not time for lunch yet, Shen He, who works part-time here, is taking a rest.

"Is there a problem?"

He looked back, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.

Although he didn't know why Shen He worked in Wanmin Hall, he was not interested in it.

I don't want to understand, and I'm too lazy to understand.

"Since you are here, may I ask if the Traveler and Paimon have returned as well?"

When mentioning the traveler, there was a hint of fluctuation in Shen He's originally calm eyes.

He looked at her with a hint of teasing and amusement in his eyes, as if he could see through her thoughts completely.

"Why do you miss him already after not seeing him for such a long time? Why don't you go find him?"

Hearing Yan's teasing words, Shen He's cheeks turned slightly red and his expression became visibly flustered.

But she soon calmed down and returned to her cold look again, as if she was not interested in anything.

"Mr. Zheng, you are joking. I am just a little curious. After all, you and him have always been inseparable."

"I've been separated from him for a while, and I don't know where he is now."

After saying this, Yan no longer paid any attention to Shen He and teleported away from Liyue Harbor.

Amid Shen He's slightly disappointed eyes, a teasing voice was heard.

"Sora and I have an appointment to meet at Xumi. If you are interested, you can come and see us."

Shen He's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this, "Sumeru?"

……

On the edge of a cliff somewhere in the abyss, a young man in gorgeous clothes stood there, his eyes fixed on the black entrance at the bottom of the mine.

His eyes were deep, as if he could see through the space and see what was happening inside.

"I was wondering why I couldn't find you in Liyue Harbor. So you hid here."

Zhongli withdrew his gaze and looked at the person who came.

"It's been a long time since we last met, little friend Yan. How have you been lately?"

"I'm living a good life, but someone is going to be in trouble." said Yan with a smile.

"I just came from Hall Master Hu. She said she wanted to teach a certain missing guest a lesson."

Zhongli chuckled when he heard this. This was indeed the hall master's character.

"Really? It looks like I'm going to have a hard time these days."

……

From now on, we will resume normal updates twice a day
