Genshin Impact: Starting with Jingyuan Character Card

After that conversation, Zhongli thought a lot. The idea of ​​returning power to the people lingered in his mind. Until one day, he was walking on the port of Liyue and heard a merchant say to his subordinate: "You have fulfilled your duties well. Now, go and rest."

Zhongli, who heard this by accident, stood there, folded his hands on his elbows, and looked at the false sky above the sky. He was thinking about something for a long time. He whispered to himself: "Have I fulfilled my duty...?"

Since that time, he has been determined to return power to the people. As Yun Fan said, Liyue is no longer a child, and now, he will give Liyue this "chance" to grow up.

Zhongli explained all his considerations to Yunfan, who kept nodding to indicate that he was listening. The Heart of God was in his hands, so what was the object of Zhongli's trade with the Ice Queen? And the lady did not come to Liyue, which meant that at this time, there was only one executive officer in Liyue, Tartaglia.

Humph, it’s just a Dada duck, what big waves can he cause?

"This is all the content of the plan. If the people of the Seven Stars and Liyue are ultimately unable to withstand the test, I'll be troubled by your help." Zhongli said to Yun Fan seriously.

“Okay, after all, we have an agreement that I will guard Liyue in times of crisis. Just consider this as my fulfillment of the contract!” Yun Fan shook his head helplessly. It seemed that Zhongli was determined to retire.

Regardless of whether the test succeeded or failed, from then on, there was no more Rock King in the world, only a mortal named Zhongli.

Winter...

The palace hall of the Kingdom of Winter was still as peaceful and calm as usual, except that the Ice Queen who had been sitting high on the throne had disappeared, and only the throne made of ice and snow still stood there.

Not long ago...

"Your Majesty, I have a question that I would like to ask..." The rich man Pantalone knelt on one knee and respectfully asked the Ice Queen.

The Fatui's intelligence network is spread all over the world. As soon as the news of the fall of the Rock King came out, they sent it back to the Winter Solstice headquarters at the fastest speed by their spies in Partition.

As a fan of the Invisible Emperor, Pantalone said first: "I don't believe it!" In his eyes, how could the Rock King, who was invincible in the world, end up like this? Therefore, he came to the Winter Palace and wanted to meet the Ice Queen, because he knew that only gods knew gods best.

"Sir Pantalone, I already know your request. Go back first." The words of the Ice Queen were like a bucket of cold water poured on Pantalone. The latter raised his head and wanted to say something, but saw that the throne was empty.

Pantalone: ​​???

Where is the Queen? How come a Queen like me is gone all of a sudden?

Where did the Ice Queen go? At this time, she had already set off for Liyue. Since Morax had already "fallen from the dead", it meant that the transaction between them had begun. As a party to the contract, she had the right to supervise the transaction. In this way, she could legitimately go to Liyue to find Yun Fan, who was known as the "Lord of the Gods".

The view turns back to the entrance of Wangsheng Hall. Ying and Paimeng, who have just returned from Qunyu Pavilion, are communicating with the staff at the entrance. They have been rushing all the way just to save a little time.

"I'm sorry, Miss Ying, our hall master is not in the Hall of Rebirth now. Not long ago, she went to Yujing Terrace to handle the ceremony of sending the immortals." The staff member in charge of reception standing at the door said apologetically.

"Huh? Is it such a coincidence?" Paimon said helplessly. It was really a coincidence.

Yingmei also nodded in agreement. She had been thinking about saying hello to Hu Tao before going to Jueyunjian. After all, she and Paimon were staying in Wangsheng Hall, and Hu Tao was one of her few friends in Liyue.

"Why don't you two go back to the hall and wait? Hall Master Hu should be back soon."

"No, we have urgent things to do. We just want to say goodbye to her." Paimon answered truthfully.

"If that's the case, Zhongli Keqing is in the hall now. Why don't you two inform Zhongli Keqing and ask him to help convey the message?" the staff suggested.

"Zhongli? Isn't he usually not in the Hall of Rebirth? Why did he suddenly come back today?" Paimeng tilted his head, a little confused.

"It's like this. Mr. Yun Fan, a distant relative of Mr. Zhongli Keqing, has arrived, and Mr. Zhongli Keqing is hosting a welcoming party for him."

"Yun Fan?! x2"

Paimeng and Ying looked at each other and rushed into the Hall of Rebirth. After a few twists and turns, they arrived at the inner hall. The moment they opened the door, Yun Fan's long silver hair first caught their eyes.

"Hmm?" The door suddenly opened, and Zhongli and Yunfan, who were drinking together, looked over at the same time. Seeing that the person coming was Yingmei, Yunfan was stunned for a moment, and then a charming smile appeared on his face.

"It's Ying and Paimon. I haven't seen you for a few days. Did you miss me?"

"It's really Yun Fan!" Little Paimeng flew to Yun Fan's side happily and said in a very excited tone.

"Long time no see." Ying's face also had a rare sweet smile. The longer she spent with Yun Fan, the more she smiled.

"There are so many delicious foods. Can Paimon eat with you?" Looking at the large table of food, Paimon, who had just enjoyed lunch in the Jade Pavilion, felt hungry again and his saliva was about to flow out.

"Paimeng, we still have important things to do!" Ying reminded hurriedly. They still had to rush to Jueyunjian, so how could they have the time to eat and drink here?

"Oh, I forgot, hehe." Paimeng laughed and scratched his cheek embarrassedly. Then he seemed to remember something and turned to Yun Fan and said, "By the way, Yun Fan, come with us, we need your help."

After hearing Paimeng's words, Ying also looked at Yun Fan with expectation.

"Um, please tell me clearly in advance what you want me to do?" Although he had already guessed it roughly, Yun Fan still asked in a formal manner.

"We want to..." Paimeng explained the purpose of this trip to Yun Fan as quickly as possible, then she picked up the juice beside her and drank it, waiting for Yun Fan's reply.

After a while, Yun Fan just shook his head.

"I'm sorry, I can't go to Jueyunjian with you."
