Three thousand miles above the clouds, at a glance.

The fiery red wings of the clouds looked like a flame about to swell in the slightly dim sky, with the glittering Liyue Harbor beneath their feet and the endless drowsiness overhead.

It was the middle of the night, but Liyue was brightly lit, like a sword blade tearing through the night, reflecting the two people who were slowly falling overhead.

Taking in the surrounding scenery at a glance, Hu Tao and Qing involuntarily took their eyes back, looked towards the person in their arms, and looked at each other for a while.

However, this atmosphere did not last long, and the night breeze blew and slowly landed on the roof of a two-story house with the wings of the wind.

Fortunately, the patrolling Millelith has just walked through the area, otherwise it would have been inevitable to conduct an investigation into the violation of the curfew.

When the wings of the wind touched the ground on the tip of the walnut foot, they turned into starlight and dissipated.

Qing's height is a head taller than Hu Tao, and at this time, both of them are on the ground with their feet, so naturally Qing's downward gaze and Hu Tao's upward gaze are facing each other, and the tip of his nose is almost touched.

Qing turned his head slightly, took the lead in breaking the atmosphere, and then looked at the Millelith Army who was about to patrol again, and said with some embarrassment: "The Millelith Army is coming, let's go back quickly." ”

Hu Tao looked at Qing Xian embarrassed, but he couldn't help laughing, and said with his hands on his hips: "Of course the hall master knows the movements of these Millelith Army, follow up!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Hu Tao jumped directly from the roof of the house, and landed on the ground with the help of the cushion of the wind wings.

Qing followed Hu Tao unhurriedly, landed on the ground lightly, and couldn't help but look at Hu Tao's skillful movements like a habitual offender.

Obviously, Hu Tao is very good at dodging patrols, and he perfectly dodged all the Millelith Army along the way, and finally pushed open the back door of the Afterlife Hall.

Hu Tao stretched out his hand and patted the two little stone lions at the door of the back door, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Little left, little right, I did well today." ”

Qing followed behind Hu Tao, stopped to look at the two ordinary stone lions in front of him, and suddenly chuckled and said, "Little left, little right, take care of me in the future." ”

Hu Tao turned around when he heard this, the smile on his face could not be hidden, and he directly reached out and grabbed Qing's sleeve, and walked straight into the Hall of the Dead.

As soon as you walk through the back door of the Death Hall, there is a small courtyard, which is overgrown with weeds but quite designed, as if it was deliberately arranged.

And in a corner of the courtyard, there was a table, a candle, and a man with a book in his hand, but the only thing that disturbed the balance was the two chairs next to the table.

"Zhongli? You're actually reading a book here today. ”

Hu Tao said a few words to Zhongli to himself, then turned his head and introduced to Heqing: "Zhongli, you came to the only resident guest of the Shengtang. ”

The moment Zhongli's gaze opened from the door, he never took his eyes off Qing's body.

Qing also met Zhongli's gaze at this time, that gaze was so unwavering, it seemed that there was a trace of joy when the old friend said goodbye, but after all, it was integrated into the waves, and there was not the slightest ripple.

"Zhongli."

Zhongli lowered his head and continued to look at the book in his hand after uttering a language that was extremely concise.

"Let's go, let's go, it just so happens that there is still a vacant room in the backyard, arrange for you to live in first, Qing."

Hu Tao directly pulled Qing's sleeve, walked in the direction of the backyard, and left here.

Zhongli on the side always lowered his head and looked at the book in his hand seriously, occasionally turning a page, as if he was one with the breeze.

And Qing here was pulled by Hu Tao to the door of a room.

Hu Tao pointed to the room next to him and said, "This room is next door to the hall master's house, you can bribe and bribe the hall master more." ”

The area of the Afterlife Hall is not large, almost all people, including Hu Tao, are an independent room, and the specifications are not much different, perhaps this is also due to the fact that there are not many people in the Afterlife Hall.

Qing stretched out his hand and pushed open the door, the house was very clean and tidy, apparently someone had been cleaning up all day.

"This was originally a room prepared for Keqing, but it's a pity that it was empty for so long before we welcomed the second guest of our Death Hall."

Hu Tao didn't care about this kind of thing, and continued to speak: "Tomorrow, the hall master will introduce you to the others, it's not early, you can rest first, the main hall will go back to create!" ”

Qing didn't say much, and sent Hu Tao all the way to the door of her house, and then watched Hu Tao walk in under Hu Tao's muttering.

"The master of this parish is not a child."

Hu Tao closed the door of the house, but she couldn't help but smile, and hurriedly took out a pen and paper, at this time she was inspired.

As for Qing outside the door, as a god, he didn't actually need to sleep, raised his head to look at the bright moonlight in the sky, and walked towards the back door.

Qing knew that Zhongli was waiting for him, so when Qing re-entered the courtyard, Zhongli was indeed still sitting there reading.

The breeze blew again, raising Zhongli's braids, which was not the case with Zhongli's image a thousand years ago, which made Qing feel strange and familiar at this time.

"Long time no see, Qing."

Zhongli slowly raised his head, placed the book in his hand on the table, and stretched out his hand to point to the chair opposite.

Qing walked over slowly, sat directly on the chair, looked at Zhongli in front of him, and said with a chuckle: "Morax, I thought that you and I would say goodbye a thousand years ago, and it seems that you and I are still destined." ”

"That's what I originally thought."

Zhongli's gaze was firmly fixed on Qing, and then he continued to speak: "You actually broke through the inner demon, and even crossed the almost inevitable wear and tear, it seems that you have finally surpassed me." ”

"I'll never be able to surpass you."

Qing could feel that the memories of himself and the Sword Demon God had completely merged, and he shook his head gently, revealing relief and relief, and said, "I'm so happy to see you. ”

When Zhongli heard this, he rarely showed a hint of a smile, then shook his head and said, "Based on this alone, I am not as good as you." ”

"It's all over, and when you let go of Liyue, our chic might be pretty much the same."

Qing raised his head to look at the starry sky and the bright moonlight, and suddenly changed the subject: "I'm just one person now, so the Emperor of the Rock shouldn't diswelcome me from living in Liyue, right?" ”

"Liyue belongs to humans, and it should not be up to the Emperor of the Rock to decide whether or not to welcome it."

Zhongli slowly stood up, picked up the book on the table, turned and left the place, leaving behind a sentence as he left, "My name is Zhongli now." ”

Qing turned his head to look at Zhongli who was leaving, and said with a smile, "Then good night, Zhongli." ”
