Zhongli and Guizhong Meet Again, 4k

After being pulled away by Bai Ye, Keqing was initially very unconvinced, but she was quickly persuaded by Bai Ye.

First, Bai Ye tells Keqing that Liyue has a complete set of laws against hiring children as young as Klee, which is extremely illegal. Even though Keqing is Liyue Qixing, she absolutely cannot do such a thing.

Secondly, Bai Ye also recounted in detail the events surrounding her Klee's marriage in Mondstadt.

When Klee was mentioned, Bai Ye clearly saw Keqing's lips twitch. After Bai Ye finished telling Alice about Keqing's situation, Keqing instantly gave up on the idea of hiring Klee again.

Many of the buildings in Liyue are made of wood, so if they were hit by two bombs, we might have to consider how to rebuild them.

"Let Mondstadt manage such dangerous individuals."

Keqing said to Bai Ye with lingering fear.

"Mmm." Bai Ye nodded, then pointed to the land over there and asked Keqing, "By the way, Keqing, is there anything else we need to do for the land over there?"

Keqing shook her head. "No need. The ground has already been cleared. Next, I'll get the Ruin Guard over and start constructing the foundation. This is my specialty, so you don't need to worry about it."

"Good."

Bai Ye is at most a mechanical manufacturing major; the real civil engineering work should be left to Keqing.

"And that's it, I'm leaving."

Keqing turned around and walked towards the workers Bai Ye Keqing.

Work has begun!

Keqing started her own work.

"Albedo, what do you think of my 'me'?"

Klee walked up to Albedo, looking up at him with eyes full of longing for praise.

"Yes, Klee, you did a great job," Albedo said in a praising tone. However, after saying that, Albedo still reminded her, "But, Klee, you can't do this kind of thing in Mondstadt."

"Of course, Brother Bai Ye told me that when I was in Mondstadt, I should go and listen to what you Acting Grand Master Jean and Albedo, had to say."

Klee nodded earnestly.

Albedo was somewhat surprised by her behavior.

On the other side, Zhongli and Hu Tao saw a 'so be it' expression on their faces.

Even Klee is not immune to the influence of the enemy.

"Zhongli, I'm a little curious, are there any women on this Teyvat who are not affected by the Bai Ye?"

Bai Ye will not change her mind; an enemy is still an enemy. However, the charm she exudes is something that no woman can ignore.

Simply put, while others might die in battle after losing, Bai Ye might still get a humiliating defeat CG before dying.

"Currently, it doesn't exist in Liyue."

Zhongli shook his head.

Both the Adepti Cloud Retainer and Madame Ping, were somewhat influenced and attracted to him. There are truly no women in Liyue who can be ignored.

"As for other countries, that's up to them to decide."

At this point, Zhongli was actually somewhat looking forward to seeing if Zhu Ying would be affected by Bai Ye's allure.

Will her ruthless and loveless methods be influenced by the Bai Ye?

However, it seems unlikely that she would be affected by this.

Zhongli felt the chances were slim, but deep down she still held onto hope.

Having lived for thousands of years, he knew far too much about love and hate, yet he found few things of interest. The existence of the unknown, however, intrigued Zhongli greatly.

Hearing Zhongli say this, Hu Tao scratched her head in exasperation, "Oh, I see. Then it seems I need to hurry up and make him my guest Guest Official."

"In that case, Master, you must work harder."

Zhongli said to Hu Tao.

Then, he continued to Hu Tao, "Master, bring Bai Ye over here. I have something to say to him."

"Oh, right."

Hu Tao suddenly remembered why she had asked Zhong Zhongli for help. She turned to look at Bai Ye and saw that he had finished talking to Keqing. She immediately walked over.

"How's it going? Is everything done here?"

"Yes, I've done most of the work. Now it's Keqing to do the work."

"Okay." Hu Tao nodded. Then she pointed to Zhongli: "I'll tell Zhongli about your situation. He has something he wants to ask you about."

"Good."

Bai Ye nodded.

After observing him for some time, he realized he wasn't too worried about what Zhongli might do to him.

Now, with the added protection of the Abyss Purification, Bai Ye was completely at ease about his safety.

Looking at Bai Ye, Hu Tao remembered how Bai Ye always seemed a little guilty whenever he saw Zhongli. She immediately reached out and grabbed Bai Ye's hand to encourage him.

"Don't worry, I'm here, you don't need to be afraid."

Hu Tao said to Bai Ye.

Even though she was no match for Bai Ye now, Hu Tao still wanted to be Bai Ye's strongest shield.

"Um..."

Bai Ye, but after Hu Tao held his hand, Bai Ye glanced at Zhongli's expression again and suddenly felt guilty.

Hu Tao tightly grasped Bai Ye's hand and came to Zhongli Li.

"Zhongli, I've brought Bai Ye with me."

Hu Tao said to Zhongli.

"Um."

Zhongli extended an invitation to Bai Ye.

"Master, may I have a private conversation with Bai Ye?"

Hu Tao glanced at Bai Ye, then at Zhongli, and finally let go of Bai Ye's hand.

"Hmph, so mysterious." Hu Tao walked to the other side.

"I'm going to find that little girl Klee. So far, she's the only one who's realized I'm a good person. I'll go and discuss with her whether her Bouncy Bomb can be used in the business of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor."

Bai Ye what Hu Tao said, Bai Ye felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly said to Hu Tao, "Hu Tao, Liyue has a complete set of laws! Murder is an absolute capital offense."

We can't just throw Bouncy Bomb at the crowd for the sake of a little sales performance.

Even if the business at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor isn't doing well, I'll still be in charge of manufacturing the Guili Plains. A little skimming off the profits will be enough to feed us. If we get caught later, we can just have Zhongli take the fall; he's old enough that he won't have to spend a few more days in jail.

"Go away, don't get the wrong idea about Master Er. I was just thinking about whether we could use Bouncy Bomb to liven up the atmosphere during the funeral."

"..."

Hu Tao left, leaving only Zhongli and Bai Ye behind.

Since there were no Hu Tao, the two looked at each other, neither speaking immediately.

The two of them silently walked to a secluded place.

Finally, Zhongli spoke slowly.

"It seems you already knew my identity."

He looks exactly the same as he did thousands of years ago, so there's no worry that Guizhong won't recognize him. It's normal for Bai Ye to recognize Zhongli; it would be strange if he didn't.

"Yes."

Bai Ye nodded honestly.

"We are friends, not enemies."

"That's natural."

Bai Ye certainly didn't doubt Zhongli's high regard for him. If Zhong Li was willing to give him power through his own remains, and he was still an enemy, Bai Ye could only hope that there would be more and more enemies like that.

Zhongli smiled calmly and continued speaking:

"Regarding your physical condition, even I can't answer that. In short, you need to take good care of yourself, otherwise you'll disappoint many people."

"Yes, I will."

"Your future will involve many responsibilities, a great undertaking that surpasses mine. We will provide some assistance later, but you will have to walk the path yourself for the rest of the journey," Zhongli said with expectation.

Bai Ye nodded emphatically again.

Zhongli has helped me so many times, I really can't let him down.

In particular, Zhiyu herself now possesses the ability to purify the Abyss.

On the Teyvat, most disasters are caused either by the Abyss or by the Archon Residue. Now that I have the ability to solve both problems simultaneously, it is naturally my duty.

After saying this, Zhongli stopped talking.

Bai Ye and Zhongli looked at each other.

This time, it was Bai Ye who couldn't hold back anymore.

He asked Zhongli, "Um, Mr. Zhongli, do you know whose successor I am? What is her relationship with you and the Adepti?"

"Bai Ye, what are you saying?!"

At this moment, the voice of Hagintos rang in Bai Ye's mind.

Previously, she was worried about being discovered by Zhongli, so she had been hiding deep in Bai Ye's mind. Now, while she was still hiding, her student had simply betrayed her.

Is this guy looking down on his teacher?

The spirit of Hagintos appeared, clenched its little fist, and punched Bai Ye's little head twice.

Certainly,

She is a soul, so doing this will only penetrate the Bai Ye.

"Teacher, you can't be too slow to realize this now. At least Zhongli was never your enemy back then."

"Hmph, don't you think you're part of the Rex Lapis's scheme to lure us into a trap?"

Hagintos pulled his hand back.

Actually, she had already guessed about this matter, but she had confidently told him back then, only to be quickly proven wrong, and she was really too embarrassed to admit it.

Looking at his teacher, Bai Ye responded with a single glance.

With you and me combined, is our combined fighting strength enough to warrant Zhongli luring the enemy?

Even now, Bai Ye believes that even with all the enhancements from the Adepti activated, he still cannot withstand a single attack from Zhongli without using his Gods powers.

On the other side, Zhongli finally saw Hagintos.

His expression was calm, but the surprise in his eyes was obvious.

Zhongli found that although she had made ample preparations, she still couldn't hide her emotions when she actually saw Guizhong.

After all, he had many followers in the past, Azhdaha and Marcius were his allies.

But in the Guizhong, there was only one true confidant.

They understand each other's thoughts and wishes, and they are working together towards this goal.

Back then, many people suspected that there might be some romantic feelings between him and Guizhong. He completely dismissed these suspicions.

They are the purest family, the purest comrades-in-arms, and the most understanding confidants of each other.

They can believe completely without any romantic feelings between men and women.

Although Guizhong enjoyed having fun, she was incredibly sincere to everyone. She once said that she would help him achieve victory in the Archon War, and in the end, she gave her life to end it all.

He had promised to work with her to build the most prosperous Liyue, but he hadn't done it perfectly enough, so he needed to keep working hard.

He Guizhong and Bai Ye were together.

Striving to control his emotions, Zhongli looked at Hagintos.

"Long time no see, are you still feeling better?"

After thousands of dollars of anticipation, all that's left is this one sentence.

"Hmm. Hmm, I'm quite sick." Hearing Zhongli's question, Hagintos nodded subconsciously. Then, she looked at Zhongli with a puzzled expression. "So, what's our relationship? Let me tell you, back then I..."

I originally wanted to say that I was a very powerful Gods back then, so don't try anything funny. But then I remembered that this person in front of me had seen all kinds of demon Gods back then, and the secret that I was a weak Gods couldn't be hidden from him.

Seeing her like this, Zhongli couldn't help but laugh.

Sure enough, nothing changed in the thousands of years Guizhong, and his words brought joy to people.

At the same time, he finally became aware of the situation regarding Guizhong.

"I see, so it's Erosion and tear now?"

Zhongli could certainly see how incomplete Guizhong's soul was at this moment.

"Um, Morax, you know my identity, right?"

Hagintos, seeing Zhongli deep in thought, stood beside Bai Ye with his hands on his hips and asked Zhongli a question.

"Yes, I know."

Zhongli nodded.

"Then, can you tell me?"

Guizhong hearing Zhongli say this, Gui Zhong quickly pressed for details.

"Unfortunately, I can't tell you right now."

Zhongli smiled jokingly as he answered Guizhong.

He was never a rigid person, but joking with others would be beneath his dignity and not in his nature.

However, Zhongli showed no such emotion when facing the Guizhong.

"Hmph! You really are the enemy."

Zhongli softly.

Actually, it wasn't that he didn't want to tell Gui Guizhong the truth. It was just that after seeing how her soul had Erosion, he immediately changed his mind.

Even if I say this, she won't react at all, and the memories from back then won't come back either.

Only through constant repair and emotional resonance can she recover her Erosion memories.

Zhongli felt that fighting against Erosion required a powerful emotional impact to regress.

After witnessing Guizhong's resurrection, he, Cloud Retainer, and Guchen all recovered from their Erosion.

If Guizhong is to fully recover, then she needs to do it herself.

Now, all we need to do is prevent Bai Ye and Guizhong from treating us as enemies.

"Hateful."

Hagintos looked at Zhongli and really didn't want to talk; his mouth was puffed up with anger.

She turned to look at Bai Ye, gesturing to her with her eyes:

[Bai Ye, you'll find a way to get revenge on me later!]

I can't beat him!

No way, find someone who can deal with him.

Hagintos looks at the Hu Tao.

There are also mutual restraints between people.
