On the way back, everyone was very quiet, Zhongli seemed to be silent because Yun Mubai had chosen more than he expected, and Sora frowned, as if he was pondering something.

Paimon also seemed to sense Sora's thoughts, and was lying on Sora's shoulder, carefully peeking at it from time to time, but seeing that Sora had not responded, he wilted and stopped talking.

And the last one except Yun Mubai...... Shenhe, she is silent, and even has a sense of relaxation that she is comfortable without speaking.

Yun Mubai looked at Zhongli who seemed to be planning everything, and glanced at the empty frowning and thinking, not understanding why everyone was so good when they came, but they were a little distracted when they left.

"That ......" Yun Mubai cleared his throat and asked out loud, "Mr. Zhongli, I don't know what arrangements we have in the future. ”

"Well, since the balm needed for the immortal ceremony has been decided, then I should have borrowed the dust cleaning bell...... But that friend has something to do today, so I can go get my custom-made kite first. ”

"Are you going to take us to fly a kite?" Hearing Zhongli's words, Paimon quickly recovered, and his whole body became excited.

"Kites have a long history in Liyue, and although they have evolved into children's toys, they have long been a symbol of the wishes of the people of Liyue to ward off disasters and pray for good fortune."

"Just like that balm?" Yun Mubai quickened his pace and followed Zhongli's side.

"Yes, incense is a sacred relic that is rumored to be associated with the gods." Zhongli explained, "But as time went on, spice making became more popular, and the people of Liyue used it to decorate their lives. This is Liyue, the kingdom where humans and gods walk together......"

Listening to Zhongli's introduction, his footsteps involuntarily paused for a moment, and after a little muttering, he quickened his pace and interrupted Zhongli's words, "I don't know how Mr. Zhongli knows about those ......"

Yun Mubai followed his empty finger and saw a blue relic device located on a small cliff.

“…… In ancient times, it was used by humans to teleport" Sora, at this time, the tone was inexplicably cautious.

Transmission?

Yun Mubai looked up and looked carefully at the candelabra-like relic device glowing with a pale blue light, Yun Mubai had seen it many times on the way from Fontaine to Liyue, but was that actually the leyline node in Zhongli's mouth?

Yun Mubai glanced at Zhongli and found that he did not deny Sora's doubts, but lowered his eyes slightly after looking at the teleportation device left from before, as if he did not intend to answer.

But Sora is very persistent in this problem, his expression is resolute, and he will not give an inch.

Wait a minute...... How did the void know?

There are so many strange ancient ruins on the Teyvat continent, as long as you walk through the vast and sparsely populated wilderness, you can always see strange formations in twos and threes, how does Sora know that it is a device located on the leyline node for teleportation?

Damn, so I don't have a simple character around me?

Does everyone have a secret?

"Hey, childish, you have a weird look." Little Paimon suddenly flew over and floated in front of Yun Mubai's gaze, crossing his waist and grabbing the crumbs of your little secret, "Are you jealous of the traveler and Zhongli?" ”

"No, I found a secret!" Yun Mubai would not be tricked by the little one's emergency food routine, he pretended to be mysterious and lowered his voice.

"What." Paimon's eyes suddenly sparkled, and he approached Yun Mubai's side.

"Have you ever found Zhongli and the empty ......?"

"They only wore one-sided earrings."

"Hey." Paimon's expectant eyes suddenly turned into disgusted half-moon eyes, and he stepped on the air in disgust, "You're going too far, childish, are you changing the subject?" ”

Yun Mubai, who was teasing the emergency food, heard Zhongli's low laughter, he looked up, and saw that Zhongli had stopped, looking back at himself, raising his hand and gently brushing the tassel on the earring on that side.

"Plop" Yun Mubai heard the clear beating sound of his heart.

Oops, this man......

Yun Mubai tugged at Paimon's cloak in a panic, struggling to control his gaze from Zhongli and look at Paimon, who was puffing up.

Paimon didn't notice the subtle eyebrow exchange between Zhongli and Yun Mubai, and she angrily poked Yun Mubai's forehead with her small fleshy claws, while tugging at her cloak angrily.

"Sora, Sora save me!"

Paimon's interruption forced Sora to stop and ask Zhongli for a thorough plan, and his attention was taken away from Zhongli, and he was about to save his babbling traveling companion from Yun Mubai's hands, when he suddenly heard Zhongli's soft words.

"Traveler, Liyue is not the end of your journey, and your footprints will be all over the continent of Teyvat. At that time, maybe all the mysteries will be revealed. ”

"Why are you ......" was stunned, and was about to ask something more, but was bumped into his arms by a soft little thing.

"Sora, Sora, he bullied me!" Paimon was aggrieved and aggrieved in his empty arms.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Yun Mubai apologized for returning the pink floating crown on Paimon's head to Paimon in Sora's calm gaze.

"I'll make amends to Paimon Jr. for my mistakes!" Yun Mubai clasped his hands together, "How about I invite you to eat something delicious?" ”

"Delicious?" When Paimon heard this, Paimon's eyes suddenly lit up, "What is it, what is it?" ”

"Wanmintang ......" Yun Mubai looked at Paimon, who did not hide his greed, and sold it, "It's a pity that Xiangling went out." ”

"Glass Pavilion...... You've been there. Looking at Paimon's eyes, which lit up and dimmed because of his words, Yun Mubai announced with great interest, "So, how about Crescent Moon Xuan?" ”

"!!" Paimon's eyes widened in disbelief, and the constellations on his cloak shimmered brighter and brighter, "But, isn't it true that Crescent Moon Xuan has to make an appointment three months in advance?" ”

"You don't understand that, do you?" Yun Mubai smiled and patted his chest, "This is Liyue's 'relationship', I've been a big celebrity in Liyue lately." ”

"Yay!" Paimon tugged at his empty sleeves and looked expectantly at the traveler.

"Then I'm bothering you." Sora wouldn't refuse Paimon's anticipation, and he nodded, "Thank you for your hospitality." ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Yun Mubai waved his hand indifferently, "It's boring to eat a big meal alone, we are friends." ”

Because she had eaten at the Liuli Pavilion, Paimon naturally looked forward to the same name as the Liuli Pavilion, and on the way back to the city, she babbled about the famous dishes of the Xinyue Xuan, and the anticipation was beyond words.

"Whew." Looking at Sora, who was constantly being urged by Paimon to speed up his pace, Yun Mubai breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt a sinking of his shoulders.

"Something?" Yun Mubai stopped and looked down the black glove on his shoulder, facing Zhongli's narrow phoenix eyes.

Yun Mubai was slightly stunned, why didn't he think Zhongli's eyes were so sharp before, maybe it was the gorgeous red under his eyes that neutralized the original sharpness of his eyebrows, and the soft and calm bookish aura around him added a lot of camouflage to him.

Ah, what do you think.

Yun Mubai retracted his thoughts and looked at Zhongli suspiciously, but saw that the other party suddenly bent his eyebrows, smiled lightly and whispered, "Thank you." ”

"Thank you...... Yun Mubai subconsciously asked rhetorically, only to see Zhongli turn his head sideways, looking at Sora and Paimon, who were speeding towards Liyue Harbor.

He got it!

How does he know?

Yun Mubai's eyes widened, and his lips twitched a few times, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

He never knew that someone would see through his actions so quickly, and he obviously covered it up so well that he didn't even notice it...... Isn't it?

As if to see his question in Yun Mubai's eyes, Zhongli deepened that gentle smile, making his already good face even more scorching, "This may confirm an old Liyue proverb that 'the heart has a soul'." ”

The black glove lightly touched Yun Mubai's heart, but the owner of the hand restrained himself and only touched the young man's robe, and then Zhongli curled up his fingers, and the fingertips touched his left chest.

Yun Mubai retreated sharply, looking confused. Obviously, this was not the most ambiguous action, but his mind seemed to be filled with the picture just now, it was the numbness of Zhongli's gloved fingertips on his heart, and it was also the trembling when Zhongli's fingertips pointed at him.

"Zhongli, Zhongli?" Yun Mubai clenched his fists fiercely, and the slightly stinging palm made him slowly wake up from his confusion, and he looked away from Zhongli's golden eyes in a panic.

"Well, I'm here." Zhongli tilted his head, the tassels on the earrings snaking into the neckline against the delicate jawline, the meticulously fastened collar obscuring his collarbone but containing the soft white tassel.

"Sss Yun Mubai pinched himself hard, and in the moment of soberness, he took his eyes off Zhongli's neck with difficulty, and quickly looked down at the ground, he quickened his pace and passed by Zhongli's side.

At the moment when he staggered, Yun Mubai stopped, he still didn't look up, just stared at the hem of Zhongli's robe, gritting his teeth, "Zhongli!" Since you know that I will help you hide it again, can't you hide your tail?! ”

Liyue's current situation is like a barrel with a fire slime that will explode instantly if it is attacked by the slightest external force, but Zhongli is at the center of the vortex, but he is always stingy to show his special ......

Thinking of this, Yun Mubai raised his head and glared at Zhongli, then quickened his pace and chased after the traveler and Shenhe in front of him.

Looking at Yun Mubai's back as he walked away, Zhongli slowly lowered his head, the robe behind him bulged slightly, and a golden-brown tail like an auspicious cloud poked out. Zhongli patted it lightly, and his tail reluctantly curled up and wrapped around his calf.

"Well, he didn't call you." Zhongli glanced at the golden dragon tail that loomed under his robe, and the rock elemental power around him spread and shook for a moment, and then the tail slapped Zhongli's calf dissatisfiedly, and then disappeared.
