Genshin Impact: Return of the Immortal Realm starts with being chased by Shadow

Lin Jinnian thought about it carefully and realized that he had nothing to talk to Zhongli about.

"How are the preparations for the Immortal Ceremony?"

"The contemporary Seven Stars are responsible for this matter."

silence.

Zhongli thought about it carefully and realized that he had nothing to talk to him about.

After pondering for a moment, he spoke.

"As for the contract you made with me 500 years ago, is it still valid now?"

"Of course, there are people I cherish in Liyue. As long as Liyue is in trouble, I will not stand idly by."

"Similarly, I will not take the initiative to invade Liyue."

"But the premise is that Liyue will not harm Dao's wife's interests."

"It's natural."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Zhongli asked for another pot of tea, the most expensive one.

After a while, Zhongli stood up.

"I have something else to do..."

But Lin Jinnian took the lead.

"Wait a minute, the emperor might as well sit down for a while, the tea hasn't been finished yet."

"It doesn't have to be..."

Before Zhong Li finished speaking, Lin Jinnian was already ready to leave.

"I won't disturb the emperor anymore. Let's go first."

Nonsense, with Zhongli's current situation as a useless person in society, how can he have the money to settle the bill?

She probably wanted to leave early and let him settle the bill.

But the problem is that Lin Jinnian has no money himself.

Don't you have to run away first?Should I stay and wash the dishes to pay back the money?

He didn't want to wait for Pingyun to come over with money to redeem him, it would be too embarrassing.

However, at this moment, Zhongli stopped him.

"Wait a moment, there is one more thing."

Seeing Zhong Li's serious expression, Lin Jinnian stopped.

"I wonder if you have met the No. 70 seventh-generation master of the Rebirth Hall."

"Her name is Hutao. Her name, appearance, and even personality are almost exactly the same as the girl next to you 500 years ago, who was the first generation master of the Rebirth Hall."

"Even I don't know why."

"Wutao...the Hall of Rebirth..."

Lin Jinnian repeated these two words in his mouth.

It was then that the buried parts of his memory were revealed again.

The previously hazy figure gradually became real, and the girl's smile became clear.

"walnut……"

As Zhongli spoke, he also took out a bronze key.

"Before she died, she asked me to keep this key."

"She said that if you come back one day, she will let me hand it over to you."

He put the key in Lin Jinnian's hand.

"Now the contract is complete."

Lin Jinnian looked at the key in his palm and was silent for a long time.

Take a deep breath and hold tight.

"Then...what happened to her...is she doing well?"

"After you disappeared, she looked for you everywhere. She went to Daozhu almost once a year."

"Finally, he died of illness."

"He is 71 years old and unmarried."

Chapter 24 Walnuts and Walnuts

On the other side, the Adventurers Association welcomed an "uninvited guest."

The conscientious Hu Tao is promoting the services of the Rebirth Hall vividly.

She really admired herself for being able to come up with such a solution.

This Adventurers Association is a big deal!

These adventurers go through life and death all day long. Wouldn't it be beneficial to both parties if they could book a few services at the Rebirth Hall in advance?

When Sister Lan, the president of the branch, heard this idea, her head was full of black lines.

Forget it on weekdays, why does this little girl still come to your door with sales?

She refused with a "smile" on her face.

"That's no need. The Adventurers Association doesn't need this kind of service."

"Hey, don't refuse in a hurry. If there are a lot of people, the Rebirth Hall can give you a discount!"

“The quantity is large and the price is favorable!”

Then, without a doubt, Walnut was kicked out.

But she still stood at the door of the Adventurers Association and shouted persistently.

"Think about it carefully! This hall leader thinks we have a lot of room for business cooperation!"

"And the Purity Hall will launch the event 'Bury one, get one free'!"

"If you're not satisfied, there's 'half price for the second monument'!"

After saying that, Hu Tao ran away, because Sister Lan had already called Qian Yanjun over, and it would be too late if he didn't run away.

However, the lively Hutao was not discouraged. While observing whether there were suitable customers on the street, she was thinking of ways to expand the business scope of Shengshengtang.

"Oops, the business of the Palace of Death has been a bit slow recently... Are there any big customers?"

Just as she was thinking about it, a man in white clothes walked up in front of her. He looked like he was not short of money!

Big customer!

Just as Hutao wanted to step forward to say hello and promote the business of Shengshengtang, she even stretched out her hand.

But the man didn't seem very happy, so Hu Tao had to give up the idea.

There are so many opportunities, don’t care about this moment.

So the two just passed each other.

……

Lin Jinnian was silent on the way back, as if he was cut off from the outside world.

His face was gloomy, and people who accidentally saw his face avoided him.

When I returned to my residence, I found it empty.

So he sat on the stone bench in the courtyard and stared at the well-preserved key in his hand in a daze.

I feel heavy and helpless.

Lin Jinnian told himself over and over again.

This is the inevitable result, she is destined to take the first step.

However, the separation was too sudden, and the agreement made with her was not fulfilled.

"Sea Lantern Festival..."

He promised to spend another Lantern Festival with her next year, but he failed to keep the appointment.

This key was the only thing she had left, but he didn't know where to use it.

He laughed at himself.

"It's ridiculous."

So he sat here for a long time, until the sun went down and Pingyun came back.

After she had settled the matter of Grandma Ping's identity, she could live with Ping Yun's identity with peace of mind in the next period of time.

And she was in a very good mood just thinking about seeing Lin Jinnian when she got home.

Pingyun found Lin Jinnian sitting in a daze, but when she got closer, she felt the heavy breath on his body and saw the key in his hand.

She immediately understood what was happening.

So she sat next to Lin Jinnian and said nothing.

After a long time, Lin Jinnian spoke.

"Wutao, she..."

Pingyun naturally knew that Lin Jinnian was talking about the first generation hall master.

"She waited for you for a long time after you disappeared."

"She and I have been to Ina Wife to find you many times."

"Finally, she left the key and said you will understand what it means."

"And No. 70, the Seventh Generation Master of the Rebirth Hall, has the same name as her."

"She looks like her in every aspect, but I'm not sure whether Hu Tao is her reincarnation."

"So I think... you need to meet her."

Of course Pingyun could understand Lin Jinnian's mood.

She will also feel sorry.

Because she had 500 years to wait for him to come back, but some people couldn't wait.

After a moment of silence, Lin Jinnian put away the key.

"Today is too late, tomorrow."

Then get up and go back to the house.

Pingyun looked at his leaving figure and did not follow him.

He might need to be alone for a while...

……

……

The next day, Lin Jinnian and Pingyun came to the Hall of Purity.

"The address of the Hall of Rebirth has not changed in 500 years..."

He looked at the antique house in front of him, and a feeling of familiarity filled his heart.

The dark brown building seems to tell the age.

Pingyun added from the side.

"Before she died, she begged the emperor to use his power to preserve everything in the Hall of Rebirth intact."

"The purpose is so that you won't feel strange when you return here one day."

Lin Jinnian walked forward silently and saw a notch on the wooden beam in front of the door.
