Original God Zhongli BG Xiao Qinglong traveled through time

Liyue Harbor, the lights were just coming on, the bright light intertwined with the night, illuminating the entire harbor as if it were daytime, people were coming and going, bustling and noisy. Ying was in a hurry, rushing around in the dense crowd anxiously. She had previously gained nothing from Xiao and had been frustrated, which added a bit of helplessness and disappointment to her anxiety.

She knew in her heart that Lin Huan must have encountered a very serious change for leaving so quietly, but at the moment she was at a loss and had no idea. The only thing she could do was to hope that her close friends in Liyue Harbor could know some clues.

At that time, Xingqiu was concentrating on reading ancient books in the Wanwen Collection Society, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was struggling with the obscure, profound, and mysterious words in the book. Suddenly, there was a hurried and flustered sound of footsteps at the door. He looked up and saw Ying rushing in with a panicked look. Xingqiu quickly put down the book in his hand, stood up to greet her, his warm eyes full of concern, and asked softly: "Ying, you are in such a hurry, but what happened?"

Ying panted slightly, her chest rising and falling, and then told Xingqiu everything about Lin Huan's disappearance and the little information she had obtained from Xiao. Xingqiu couldn't help but fall into deep thought after hearing this. Although he and Lin Huan didn't know each other very well, he knew that she was a person who valued friendship and loyalty, and that she seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious mist, hiding many unknown secrets.

"Leaving at the invitation of someone? Who could have done this?" Xingqiu murmured in a voice as light as a mosquito.

A moment later, Xiangling rushed to the Wanwen Collection Club in a hurry, followed by Chongyun with a stern look. After hearing this, Xiangling's eyes suddenly lit up and she said excitedly: "Could it be Yaoyao? Hehe... The traveler must have never seen Yaoyao. Yaoyao is my lovely little apprentice sister, the little disciple of the master. She has a good relationship with Sister Ahuan, and she has a quirky personality. Maybe she really has planned something special."

When everyone heard this, they all felt that this statement made some sense. After all, with Yaoyao's lively, cute, and considerate personality, it was not impossible for her to do something so unexpected.

Hu Tao walked into the gathering place slowly with her unique and graceful steps, playing with her Homa staff in her hand. "Oh, I heard that Sister Huan is missing? This is really strange. As a disciple of the immortal, how could she disappear without a trace so easily?" Hu Tao raised her eyebrows slightly, with a curious light and a subtle worry in her eyes.

Ying smiled bitterly and said softly, "Hu Tao, you only know that she is a disciple of an immortal, but you don't know much about her other things... Her past experiences, we really know very little about them. As her friend, we have indeed failed in this regard."

When everyone heard this, they all looked worried. Although they had known Lin Huan for some time, they had never expected that during such a special period as the Lantern Festival, she would have such puzzling actions.

Xingqiu nodded slightly, his thoughts drifting back to his past conversation with Lin Huan, "I once talked with Sister Huan about the Wind Dragon and the heroic deeds during the Kanreya disaster five hundred years ago. The emotions revealed in her eyes were extremely complex. At that time, I felt that she must have many unknown secrets in her heart. Perhaps it was because she had read so many ancient books that she was quite touched and emotional." Xingqiu's eyes became somewhat distant and deep, as if he had traveled through time and space, and saw Lin Huan's slightly sad and melancholy face at that time.

Ying's expression changed slightly, but she could only smile bitterly and said nothing more.

Chongyun listened quietly at the side. Although he was not good at speaking and was introverted, he was thinking hard in his heart. He knew that this matter must be complicated and not as simple as it seemed. It must be related to her past that she kept silent about.

"Then what should we do now? We can't just do nothing and wait." Chongyun finally broke the silence and spoke. His voice was as cold as frost, but at this moment it was also mixed with a hint of anxiety and uneasiness.

Hu Tao crossed her arms, thought for a moment, and then said, "This hall master thinks that we might as well ask around the streets and alleys of Liyue Port to see if anyone has seen Ah Huan or knows some rumors about her. Ah Huan is quite famous in Liyue Port, and we may be able to find some useful clues by chance. Ah, let's go ask the guest official? He has a good relationship with Ah Huan, and maybe we can get some unexpected special gains!"

Everyone nodded in approval of Hu Tao's proposal. Without further ado, they hurried to the Wangsheng Hall, intending to first ask the guest official Mr. Zhongli for advice, and then plan a follow-up search plan based on the specific situation.

Hu Tao was full of enthusiasm and hurried along. However, when she arrived at the Hall of the Reborn, she found that Mr. Zhongli was not in the hall. Her hopes were dashed in an instant, and she could not help but feel disappointed. While she was feeling melancholy, she suddenly heard a familiar and steady voice coming from Tian Tiezui's teahouse. She was refreshed and hurried to follow the voice. Sure enough, she saw Mr. Zhongli sitting safely in the teahouse, drinking tea leisurely and chatting with Tian Tiezui. He looked calm and relaxed, as if all the troubles in the world could not touch his heartstrings and had nothing to do with him.

Hu Tao was extremely worried. She rushed forward and asked anxiously, "Guest, Sister Huan disappeared mysteriously. Do you know the reason?"

Mr. Zhongli raised his eyes slightly, his expression was calm and peaceful, he slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and said in a soothing tone: "Don't panic, I have also heard a little about this matter. Since she was invited, I think she must have her own considerations. Now that the Lantern Festival is approaching, the whole of Liyue is immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the festival. I am afraid that your anxious search will not produce significant results."

Xingqiu and Ying also rushed over after hearing the news. Xingqiu looked worried and asked, "Mr. Zhongli, are we just going to sit there and wait? Sister Huan left at this time, there must be a reason, we can't rest assured."

Mr. Zhongli shook his head slightly, his eyes deep and far-reaching, as if he could see through the fog of this world, penetrate the surface and reach the essence. "I have known her for a long time, and I am quite familiar with her temperament and decision. Since she chose to leave quietly at this time, perhaps she intended to face some past entanglements and troubles alone. For Liyue, the Lantern Festival is a critical moment to commemorate ancestors and pray for the future, or it may be a good opportunity to seek self-salvation. Perhaps, when the thousands of lights of the Lantern Festival burn out, everything will be settled, and then she will return gracefully."

Xiangling frowned and said unwillingly, "But, Mr. Zhongli, what if Sister Huan encounters danger in the outside world? If we just stand by and watch, it would be against the friendship and definitely not what true friends do."

Mr. Zhongli raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, as if to comfort everyone's anxiety, "Don't worry too much about her safety. She is not a weak and helpless person. Her own abilities and wisdom are far beyond your imagination. At this moment, instead of blindly searching around without any clues, you might as well stay in Liyue Harbor and spend this Lantern Festival safely. This is also a strong support and deep trust in her."

Although Chongyun remained silent, his eyes still showed a hint of doubt and deep worry. Hu Tao crossed her arms and paced back and forth, carefully considering what Mr. Zhongli said. Ying stared at Mr. Zhongli's calm and composed expression. Although she was still very worried, she also felt that what he said might have some truth and basis.

"Well, Mr. Zhongli, we will follow your advice for now. But if the Lantern Festival is over and Sister Huan has not returned, we must try our best to look for her again." Hu Tao finally made up her mind and said resolutely.

Although the uneasiness in everyone's heart had not completely dissipated, under the patient consolation of Mr. Zhongli, they could only suppress their anxiety for the time being, and slowly dispersed, preparing to quietly wait for Lin Huan's return in the rich atmosphere of the Lantern Festival. However, the hidden worry in their hearts was like a shadow that was difficult to dispel, always lingering in their hearts like a ghost, and they all wondered secretly whether after this Lantern Festival, everything would be restored as before, as Mr. Zhongli said, and Lin Huan would return to them safely.
