I didn't expect that the last goodbye to the Wind Flower Festival turned out to be a farewell. The head of the Qin regiment sat in the carriage and watched the scenery along the way of Ogihuazhou.

Since joining the Order, I've been busy with work and haven't been to Liyue for years. She always thought that the next time she went to Liyue, it would be because she was going to attend Noelle and Anping's wedding.

Who would have thought that the world would be unpredictable, and it would turn out to attend Anping's funeral. For Anping, the head of the Qin regiment was full of gratitude, and even felt that he owed something to Anping.

He helped Mondstadt too much during that most difficult time. So this time, no matter how busy the head of the Qin troupe is, he still plans to send Anping on his last journey.

"Captain Jean, you haven't told Klee what the sacrifice is? What's wrong with Brother Anping, why didn't Sister Noelle, Sister Barbara, and Sister Yula tell me? Klee, snuggled in the arms of the head of the Jean, asked curiously.

Maybe it's because of the gloomy atmosphere along the way, Klee is very well-behaved compared to usual.

"Sacrifice... That is to say, your brother Anping is going to a far, far away place... Will never come back. Captain Jean gently rubbed Klee's head.

The sadness of life and death is too early for Klee, so let it be, let her slowly understand this feeling.

"Far, far away... Did Brother Anping go to his mother? "Klee's mother, Ms. Alice, left telling Klee that she was going far, far away.

"It's even farther than that, we went to Liyue this time to see your brother Anping for the last time, and we will never see you brother Anping again."

"Hmm... Never mind! Klee will just go to Brother Anping when she grows up! "Far, far away, Klee can't go until she grows up.

"Well, when you grow up, you will know where your brother Anping went..."

The Knights were temporarily handed over to Kaeya to be in charge, and Captain Jean was relieved. Although Kaeya usually looks a little hanging, she doesn't have a lake in business.

Captain Jean was worried about the people in the other carriage. In addition to her and Klee, Barbara Noelle and Yula are also on their way to Liyue from Mondstadt.

Yula and Noelle have a good relationship with Anping, and the head of the piano knows it. Captain Qin didn't expect that the relationship between his sister Barbara and Anping would be so good.

That day, my sister sat on the ground and cried when she learned of Anping's sacrifice, and the head of the Qin regiment was also distressed.

As for whether Barbara has other feelings for Anping... Anping is already dead, and the head of the Qin regiment doesn't care anymore.

What else can you preach to Barbara at such a time? At that time, Barbara had no way to help the head of the piano inform Noelle and Yula of the matter, so the head of the piano had to go by herself.

After listening to the news of the head of the piano, Noelle fainted directly, and still has not eaten a drop of water, and after waking up, he washed his face with tears all day long.

Yura's condition was not much better, and Captain Jean had never seen Yura lose her temper to the point that she couldn't walk steadily, and if she hadn't stopped her, Yura would have rushed to Liyue at that time.

In order not to let Klee be affected by this sad atmosphere, when she set off, Captain Jean took Klee in a carriage, and the other three who lost their souls in another carriage.

Noelle's carriage was as silent as death. The three girls who have the same affection for Anping have hardly had any communication along the way.

But a look, a line of tears, and a sigh are worth a thousand words. Nowadays, everyone has their pain and sorrow written on their faces, and there is no need to hide it anymore.

All three tacitly refused to talk about it. Because there is no point anymore. Noelle looked at the unfamiliar scenery outside the car window with vacant eyes.

This is where she has fantasized countless times about living with Anping after marrying Anping in the future. Those fantasy pictures can only stay in fantasy forever now.

I thought that the tears that had already dried up fell all at once. Noeldo hoped it was just a nightmare, and when she woke up, she was back in the library, just asleep reading, still thinking about her seniors, thinking that he was bullying other girls in Liyue, and quietly angry with him.

Cowering in the corner, Barbara clasped the pendant around her neck with her hands, and kept praying to Lord Barbatos in her heart, hoping that her god would send Anping back.

Yula leaned into the corner with her eyes closed. She was the only one of the three who looked the calmest, barely shedding tears.

But only Yula herself knows how much she regrets it at this time. She said that Anping is a coward... But she is the real cowardly one, and she didn't even dare to express her heart to Anping.

You haven't waited for my revenge yet.. How can you die like this... The two carriages, laden with grief and love, drove silently toward Liyue City.

... In the middle of the night, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce. In a courtyard in Scarlet Cloud Slope, Ningguang, who had not slept at this point, sat alone in the courtyard, hot with a pot of tea.

The moonlight was cold, and it couldn't cover the red light of the charcoal on Ningguang's face, but this festive red light couldn't hide the sadness on Ningguang's face.

How did it become like this. The last time Ningguang was so sad was when Oselle was freed from the seal.

The teapot made a gurgling boiling sound, and the water had already boiled, but Ningguang was not in the slightest mood to pour himself a cup of tea, and watched the ethereal water vapor escape.

Whether it is Baizhu, who is skilled in medicine, or Grandma Ping, an immortal who lives in the city, they have all gone to see Anping.

Came to the same conclusion, there is no cure, no one can be saved. It's impossible to even turn into a zombie like Qiqi and survive, his body is like a sieve like Kunjun said, unable to catch the slightest water.

There is still a trace of breath now, just because there is still an obsession that has not yet dissipated. Ningguang didn't expect that the plan he had discussed with Anping at the beginning had now become a reality.

In order to reseal the Ruotuo Dragon King, Anping paid with his life and became the hero of Liyue.

However, there is no more to plan. Sealed under the Nantian Gate is the Ruotuo Dragon King, and Ningguang only knew about it from the traveler.

That period of history was too long, and it was deliberately erased by the emperor and the immortals, so naturally no one knew the true identity of the evil dragon sealed under the Nantian Gate.

Otherwise, Ningguang would not let Anping go alone in this matter. But Ningguang still can't escape the self-blame in his heart, this is not a sentence of guilt that can be avoided by not being guilty.

Especially in the face of Ganyu... Although Ganyu didn't blame her.

"Lord Ningguang, the people from Mondstadt have arrived." Ningguang's little secretary Baiwen quietly walked over to report to Ningguang, and stayed by Ningguang's side, she could see that Ningguang was in a bad mood.

Also know why. for all kinds of things are equally sorrowful. Ganyu hadn't been to Yuehai Pavilion for several days because of this incident, and those jobs fell to the three of them again.

And from now on, no good person like Mr. Anping will help them get Miss Ganyu back.

"I see." Ningguang stood up.

"Do you want to greet Ningguang-sama in person? Do you need me to arrange a guard for you? Baiwen was a little surprised.

"No need, after I receive them, I should go directly to Anping Mansion, you can extinguish this fire."

"Huh? Don't you even need me to accompany you?! Baiwen's expression became pitiful.

"Put out the fire and rest early, and go tomorrow morning to change the knowledge and know that they will rest."

"Yes-" As soon as Ningguang said it, Baiwen could only agree aggrievedly. At the gates of Liyue City, Ningguang meets Jean, who is holding a sleeping Klee, and the three red faces of Anping.

Noelle and Barbara held each other, their eyes swollen almost as high. Yura's eyes were not swollen, but their sockets were red and bloodshot.

Ningguang only knew about Noelle, but looking at Barbara and Eula's appearance, he also saw some clues.

"Hello, I'm Celestial Star Ningguang, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, and I guess I'm a guest from all the way from Mondstadt." Ningguang walked over and took the initiative to say hello.

"So you are Miss Tianquan Xingguang? Fortunately. Captain Jean held Klee in one hand and shook Ningguang's hand.

briefly introduced the identities of several people on his side, without too many greetings, and went straight to the point.

"Where is Anping's body, if it's convenient, we want to take a look at him now." Even though it was late at night, Captain Jean knew that Noelle and the others didn't want to wait any longer.

"There's nothing inconvenient, many people here in Liyue are in the same mood as you... In fact, Anping still has a breath of air, and he has always been accompanied by someone. Ningguang's words instantly lit up a flame of hope in the eyes of the three Noelles, who were immersed in grief.

"Is the senior still alive?! Is he still saved! The excited Noelle hurriedly asked. Barbara had begun to thank Lord Barbatos, and the prayers she had come to these days were indeed useful.

But Ningguang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"I'm sorry... Although I don't want to break your hopes, I just want to explain Anping's current situation. Although he is not dead, he is only an obsession... This obsession is not enough for him to live, and it is even possible that after meeting you, this obsession will dissipate. Every extra second of life is a kind of torture for Anping, which is why I passed on this bad news to you urgently. It would be better to send him to death than to torture him. ”

"I'm not going to see him anymore... I just want him to live... Even if you don't see him for the rest of your life, as long as he lives—" Barbara slumped to the ground and fell to the ground.

"If this works, I won't send you a letter, it's a miracle that this obsession can last until now, but it won't last long, Anping's body is slowly dying, and it won't be long before he will completely become a corpse... While he may still be able to hear your voice and see your silhouette, go see him one last time, and don't leave him with too many regrets. After Ningguang finished speaking, he also turned around, and couldn't bear to look at their expressions anymore.

Every time I look at it, I feel more guilty. There was no crying behind him. Led them to the mansion that Anping had purchased from her, and Ningguang knocked on the door.

Without any response, Ningguang immediately realized that something was wrong, and simply smashed the door open. Sure enough, Xiangling, who was full of tears in the yard, was gagged and tied to the ground, and the pot was directly frozen in a lump of ice.

Ningguang hurriedly ran over and took off the towel that blocked Xiangling's mouth.

"Miss Ningguang, go and stop Ganyu... She cut off her own hand again to feed Anping blood..."Xiangling cried and cried, and didn't care about letting Ningguang untie herself first.

Hearing this, Ningguang hurriedly rushed towards the house. Since Ganyu saw Anping's tragic condition, he didn't know how much blood he put for Anping to drink.

But if this helps, Traveler and Xiangling won't be divided into two shifts to watch Ganyu. When Ningguang rushed into the house, Ganyu, who was sitting at the head of the bed, had fainted due to excessive blood loss and weakness, but his hand was still on Anping's mouth, but fortunately the bleeding had stopped.

An Ping's eyelids, who refused to blink, trembled because they sensed what was happening.

"It's okay, Ganyu, she just fainted." Ningguang looked at An Ping's eyelids trembling and whispered.

Sure enough, after the words fell, An Ping's eyelids stopped trembling, but he still refused to close, and the surface of his eyes was so dry that there was no trace of luster at all.

"The girls from Mondstadt have come to see you." After Ningguang finished speaking, An Ping's eyelids moved, and his eyeballs turned to the door.

"Senpai!"

"Mr. Anping!"

"Anping!" The three of Noelle, who were following Ningguang, rushed in one after another, and seeing Anping's current appearance, Noelle and Barbara directly howled and cried, and Yula choked uncontrollably.

"Senior, I'm not angry with you anymore, get up and see if I'm okay! Please, don't leave Noelle behind..."Noelle trembled and hugged Anping's withered face, crying silently, tears splashed into Anping's eyes, making his eyes look a glimmer of brilliance.

An Ping's body shook suddenly, and one hand slowly lifted up, scraping Noelle's face, as if to help her wipe away her tears.

"Senpai?!" Noelle looked at An Ping in surprise. But in the next second, An Ping's hand hung down weakly.

"Don't... Don't..."Seeing Anping close his eyes, Noelle's eyes were dark, and he fainted together.

Anping could never have imagined that the dream of sleeping with Noelle and Ganyuda finally came true at the moment he died.

...

"Do you even have to do this?" Venti didn't know when she came to Liyue, and she and Zhongli stood on the Jade Terrace and looked at the sea level in the distance.

"In order to fight the Ruotuo Dragon King, he has extracted too much abyssal power, even if Tianli does not wake up because of this, the maintainers of Tianli should find him. I don't want to see Liyue City destroyed by the Nails of the Cold Sky. ”

"Well, it looks like I'm going to not get a good night's sleep for a long time, so where are you going to send him?" Wendy sighed.

"Dark Outer Sea, if you are there, you should be able to escape the surveillance of the Heavenly Principle Maintainer, and in the environment of a bunch of demon gods, he can also get a good training."

"Don't you send it to the abyss? In the abyss, he should be able to grow up very quickly. ”

"It's not necessarily a good thing for him to go there now, let's talk about it when he comes back from the dark sea." Zhongli glanced back in the direction of An Ping's house.

"This kid is finally willing to rest in peace, it's time to go and prepare for him."
