Genshin Impact: Starting with Jingyuan Character Card

After hearing Huai Yan's instructions, the assistant named Xiao Li hurried to prepare tea and juice. After Xiao Li left, Huai Yan made a gesture of invitation to the young man in front of him.

"Good work."

Nodding slightly, Afan took Yunli's little hand and sat down opposite Huaiyan, while little Yunli sat in his arms skillfully.

"Yun Li, this is General Huai Yan, your father's former half-teacher."

Hearing what Fan said, Yun Li in his arms carefully looked at the old general with a white beard in front of him, who didn't look much taller than himself, and a hint of timidity flashed in his eyes.

"General Huai... General Huai Yan, I am Yun Li..."

"Hahaha, hello, little Yunli."

Seeing the shy look of the girl in front of him, Huai Yan didn't care about anything. The child in front of him had lost her parents, and she was afraid that... this shadow would accompany the child for the rest of her life. He also had an unshirkable responsibility regarding the forging of the magic sword.

If it weren't for the general's momentary negligence, such a terrible disaster would not have happened.

"Mr. Fan, what do you think of what I told you last time?"

After looking at the timid little Yunli for a while, Huai Yan turned his gaze to the man in front of him. It was unknown how this powerful man of unknown origin got on the immortal boat Zhu Ming.

It truly achieved silence and if it hadn't been for the disaster at the Tianyan Wheel Casting Palace, I'm afraid this person would not have revealed his identity so easily.

"Well, I have considered your proposal. I promise you that I will leave little Yunli to you to take care of and raise."

After hearing Yun Fan say that he wanted to hand her over to the old man in front of him to be raised, Yun Li, who was originally eating candied haws happily, was slightly stunned, and her eyes were suddenly filled with tears.

The girl looked at the man who saved her from the fire with disbelief. For a moment, she even forgot to cry and let the tears roll in her eyes.

After a long time, Yun Li finally came back to her senses from her sadness, and asked in a wronged voice.

"Brother... Brother, are you disliking Yunli? Don't worry, Yunli is easy to raise. As long as you don't give Yunli away, Yunli will..."

Yun Li's words reached the man's ears, and suddenly, a strong sense of guilt surged into Fan's heart. If possible, he didn't want to entrust little Yun Li to others to raise, but...

After all, he is not from this timeline, and he will eventually return to the original time. In order not to interfere with the disturbance of the "law of cause and effect" to the future, Fan had no choice but to hand over little Yunli to Zhu Ming of Xianzhou to raise as before.

"Xiao Yunli, it's not that I don't want you anymore, it's just that I don't belong to this time, so I can't stay here for too long, do you understand?"

"No... Yunli doesn't understand, Yunli wants her brother...!"

How could the sad little girl listen to Fan's explanation? Besides, the timeline was too profound for a child of this age, and she couldn't understand the reasons and connections behind it.

'Not in this timeline?!'

Huai Yan, who was quietly listening to the conversation between the two, was suddenly shocked. If the man in front of him was not lying, then it was very likely from the past or the future.

However, judging from his current action of taking the initiative to rescue Xiao Yunli, it is highly likely that this unknown strong man is from the future.

Traveling from the future to the past... In the future, who knows how many years later, has a star god who can control time been born? Or is this the power of the "end"?

"Hey~!"

Seeing that little Yunli was adamant and insisted on following him, the man gave up trying to persuade her. It was too difficult to reason with a child, especially a poor child.

"Okay, okay, brother will take you with him. Brother will not leave you. Don't cry, little Yunli..."

He held the crying little Yunli in his arms and patted her back gently. Soon, she stopped crying and asked in a skeptical tone.

"You...are you telling the truth?"

"Yeah, of course it's true. How could my brother lie to Xiao Yunli?"

Afan stroked Yunli's little head with a smile and spoke gently.

"Woo... I knew Brother Afan wouldn't abandon me!"

"Yes, yes, brother will not abandon you..."

While comforting little Yunli in his arms, Afan raised his head and winked at General Huaiyan.

Seeing the young man winking at him, Huai Yan hesitated for a moment and then didn't say anything more.

"The tea is here, General, and this distinguished guest, enjoy your meal."

Just when the atmosphere was getting a little awkward, the assistant who was originally sent by Huai Yan to make tea came over with two cups of tea and a glass of juice.

After placing two cups of tea in front of Huai Yan and Avatar, Assistant Li considerately put a straw in the cup and then placed it in front of Yun Li.

"Take your time, little princess."

In the following time, Fan and Huai Yan did not talk about any major national affairs, but just chatted about family matters.

Afan asked Huaiyan for some basic information about Zhu Ming Xian Zhou, and Huaiyan simply asked for his name without mentioning anything about the "timeline".

Gradually, night fell. Yun Li, who had been listening to the conversation between the two adults with her ears perked up, finally couldn't stand the tiredness coming from her brain. Her upper and lower eyelids started fighting, and she soon fell asleep in Fan's arms.

"This child really likes you. Otherwise, you should stay in Zhuming Xianzhou. I will personally apply for an identity for you, and Yunli will be raised by you in the future."

"No, I have reasons to leave."

With his head slightly lowered, Yun Fan gently tidied the hair of the sleeping girl. Then, starlight appeared on his hands, leaving a mark representing "cause and effect" in Yun Li's body.

Unlike the marks given to Hanabi and Topa, the mark in Yunli's body cannot be sensed at ordinary times, nor can the power of the mark be used actively. Only when the girl is on the verge of death, the mark will be activated to block a blow that is comparable to the power of a top-level emissary.

"General Huaiyan, Yunli will be left to you to raise."

"My sudden departure may make this little girl sad for a long time, but this is the best choice for her."

Having said that, the man paused, then continued.

"If... after Yunli grows up, she still misses me, then when she comes of age, let her come to Luofu in Xianzhou to find me. I should be there by then."
