With Zhongli's guarantee, the clear-headed Azhdaha the Dragon King naturally did not make a scene.
Azhdaha the Dragon King's feelings toward Zhongli were rather complicated. He wanted to beat Zhongli up to vent his anger over what had happened to him, but he also trusted him.

After taking Dan Heng and Mr. Welt out of the seal and sending them back to Liyue Harbor, he asked the two of them for tokens and letters, then immediately took his leave for Sumeru. He even had Dan Heng and Mr. Welt relay his request for leave to Hu Tao.
Dan Heng and Mr. Welt had no other choice. Teyvat's phones had no signal. If the Stellar Train had still been there, it could have served as a base station and provided a signal within a certain distance.
But the train was currently docked in Sumeru, leaving Dan Heng and Mr. Welt with no way to contact anyone. They could only write to Himeko and explain the situation.

They obviously could not tell Hu Tao about Azhdaha the Dragon King. Doing so would expose Zhongli's identity, and the two of them had promised to keep it secret.
Seeing the helpless expressions on their faces, and knowing that her Guest Official was powerful enough not to be harmed so easily, Hu Tao temporarily put aside the idea of reporting the matter to the Ministry
