Inside the castle tower, after nearly 500 years, sunlight finally shines through the carved window lattices that had been closed, sprinkling on the quaint wooden floor, adding a touch of warmth to this solemn place. The air is filled with a faint scent of ink and a barely perceptible hint of cherry blossoms, the two interweaving as if foreshadowing that today's reunion is particularly meaningful.

"You're back." Zhen's voice was gentle and powerful. She was sitting at her desk, concentrating on reviewing the piles of documents, but her eyes softened instantly when she saw the returning people, especially when her eyes fell on Sasalis, the joy in her eyes was beyond words.

This Tengu general, who was once the most dazzling one under her command, finally set foot on this familiar land again. For her, it was undoubtedly the greatest comfort.

Shin stood up and whispered to Wendy, the wind god of Mondstadt, "Barbatos, long time no see. Thank you for everything you have done for Inazuma. I will remember this kindness in my heart."

Jiumengzi heard this and said with a nonchalant look, "Oh, Bal, you are so polite. But since you are so sincere, then use two bottles of your treasured wine from the shogunate's wine storehouse as my reward. I have been craving them for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Zhen smiled and readily agreed, "Of course, any fine wine in the shogunate's wine cellar is available for you to choose as long as you like."

"Really?!" Wendy's eyes lit up instantly, as if a child had found a toy they had always dreamed of. "Then I have to choose carefully, and I can't let this kindness go to waste."

Wendy was secretly calculating in her heart, Carlos had rewards, and Bal had wine as a gift, so this trip to Inazuma was really fruitful, and it was undoubtedly a win-win situation!

[It’s so funny, the reward for helping someone revive is a bottle of wine, you are worthy of being Wendy]

[The main reward, Luo, has already been paid, Wendy is not taking advantage of it]

[Not at all. This is a debt of favor. How can Wendy's help of this level be repaid with any material reward? Asking for wine is just his way of expressing his feelings. In fact, this is a favor that is already tacitly understood.]

After Wendy's greetings, Shin turned his gaze to Sasayuri. Her smile was more complex and warm: "He, welcome home. I'm glad to see you return safely."

Sasayuri looked at the changed Shin in front of him, feeling mixed emotions. He knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together, and said in a low but firm voice: "Lord, I am ashamed. Everything started with my death, which led to Inazuma becoming like this now. Moreover, I failed to protect you when you needed me the most. Please forgive me, Lord."

Zhen shook her head gently, her eyes full of understanding and tolerance. She disagreed and said, "He, why should we be so distant with each other? You and I both know that all this is not what you want, and it is not your fault. Get up, Inazuma's future still needs our joint protection."

Sasayuri was silent for a moment. The self-blame in his heart had not completely disappeared, but he still respectfully bowed to Zhen, then quietly retreated behind the crowd.

[What does this have to do with Yuri Sasa? Why is he blaming himself? ]

[On the one hand, it was because he influenced Ying. His death led Ying to have a wrong concept of eternity. On the other hand, he was a foolishly loyal person. His master was dead. Regardless of whether it had anything to do with him or not, if he were still alive, he would die to atone for his sin.]

[Sasayuri must think that it is his fault if he really dies. Why? There is no reason. He is a subordinate. If his master really dies, he is at fault.]

Shin looked at his back and sighed softly. She knew that Sasayuri would need time to let go of this self-blame. Shin knew that when it came to matters concerning herself, He's stubbornness was only comparable to that of her younger sister Ying.

There were many guests present, so Shin temporarily put aside his worries about Sasalis and asked Luo, "Luo, are you ready?"

"Of course we're ready~ After all, we are the ones who need to prepare." However, the response came not from Luo, but from Xu Tan.

"Kyotan" pushed open the door of the castle tower together, and behind her was Manye carrying Torachiyo's (corpse).

[How dare you! You actually let us, Ye Tiandi, do the hard labor! ]

[Still carrying a dead person on his back (no offense to Chiyo, Ying, Zhen, Kitsune, Saimiya, Sasa Yuri, Yaegamiko, I am just stating Torachiyo's current status)]

[The buffs upstairs are fully stacked, right?]

Ying's eyes widened slightly, "Is that... Chiyo?"

But, Chiyo's death was caused by her own hands... Could it be that besides Zhenhehe, there are others who can return?

Manye followed Kyotani to Shin and put Torachiyo on the ground. Kyotani walked to Wendy and held out his hand to him: "Singer, do you have Hanasakuri's mask?"

Wendy protested in dissatisfaction: "Why are you also talking like little Paimon?" Although he said so, he didn't really care. Wendy took out the mask and handed it to "Xu Tan".

Wanye watched as the green bard took out a mask that looked quite familiar to him, and hurriedly searched for something on his body.

When "Xu Tan" saw Wan Ye's thing, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She said mockingly: "Wan Ye boy, don't look for it. That is the mask I gave you before, and it was stolen by this unruly guy." There was a bit of sarcasm in her words.

Manye: Why did he steal the mask?

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, a dignified Fengshen actually engages in such petty thefts."

Wan Ye's movements froze, and he could not help but be stunned. Mondstadt's Wind God stole my things? !

"Hey~" Wendy blinked and said righteously, "It was the bard Wendy who stole the things. What does it have to do with me, the wind god Barbatos?"

【Manye: Huh?! Ababa Ababa】

[Okay, okay, okay, what does arresting Lu Xun have to do with me, Zhou Shuren?]

Wendy waved her hand: "Oh, you told me earlier that you were in the same group with us. You were my enemy at that time, so of course I had to deal with your backhand."

It turned out to be like this...

Manye looked at Xu Tan speechlessly, as he was deceived by her again.

Paimon also rolled his eyes at the 'Hypotheosis', and then said to Manye: "Manye, you must remember this, don't be fooled by 'Hypotheosis' again next time."

Manye nodded seriously, "I will."
