Chapter 223 Trial
Chapter 223 Trial
After reaching the foot of the mountain, Jiang Xun didn't meet anyone else. He thought that apart from Zhongli, the guy who deliberately appeared on his route, no one would have nothing better to do than block him.
Because of this, he quickly returned to Liyue Harbor, arrived at his home, opened the door, and found the courtyard very quiet, with no one around, and it was obvious that no one had lived there for some time.
Jiang Xun was not surprised. Deacarapian was still in Mondstadt and he was not in Liyue. Qiqi, who had recovered her memory, probably could not stay there either. Who knows, she was probably traveling somewhere now.
However, Jiang Xun noticed that although no one had lived here for a long time, the furniture was not covered with dust and was still clean. He thought that Qiqi must have cast some magic on it when she left.
Prevent your yard from accumulating dust when no one is around.
Jiang Xun put Du Lin on the stone table, then sat on a chair and made tea. The quiet courtyard allowed him to calm down quickly. Sitting on the chair, his thoughts began to wander.
It was no accident that Zhongli appeared there, he knew it very well. During the communication with the other party, he knew that Zhongli had no intention of stopping him, but just wanted to tell him the consequences of breaking the rules.
Jiang Xun didn't care about this. Zhongli might not know his origins, but there was always someone in the world who knew. This meant that he was destined to not be able to settle down.
One day in the future, when the catastrophe comes, he will definitely be involved.
This was a bit off topic, so Jiang Xun changed his train of thought and started thinking about how to improve his strength in the future.
It was unknown when the system's tasks would be updated, and now more depended on himself as to how to find those fragments containing the power of Sky Island.
Jiang Xun already has an idea.
He had been thinking about this problem on the way to Liyue Harbor, and then he suddenly remembered that Nashida was connected to the World Tree, and the World Tree was the storage center that recorded everything about Teyvat.
Nothing in Teyvat, big or small, can escape the record of the World Tree. Jiang Xun can use the World Tree to find what he wants.
I believe Nashida will not refuse.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xun's mood inexplicably improved a lot.
In the next few days, Jiang Xun did not leave again and returned to his ordinary life in Liyue Harbor, just like an ordinary Liyue citizen.
I go to Wanmin Hall for all three meals, and wander around when I have nothing to do. If I'm lucky, I may hear some interesting gossip from somewhere unknown. As for whether the stories are true or not, naturally no one cares, and Jiang Xun is no exception.
We are just trying to have a good time, why should we take it so seriously and end up making ourselves unhappy?
"No wonder Zhongli likes this kind of life so much, it is indeed comfortable."
A few days of ordinary life allowed Jiang Xun to relax. Without any sense of crisis or pressure, he devoted himself to life wholeheartedly. This kind of life made his condition much better.
I feel like the progress in learning astrology and the power of the abyss has gone a lot faster.
"So that's how it is, but...what is the true nature of the abyss?"
At five o'clock, Jiang Xun stood in front of a tree in the yard, his eyes a little dazed. He had made considerable progress in his research on the abyss last night, but now he was faced with a new problem.
Things that involve the essence are definitely not simple things.
Jiang Xun thought about it all night, but still made no progress.
"Forget it. Things will work out when the time comes. I was too impatient."
He shook his head and then put the thought out of his mind.
Jiang Xun turned around and saw a girl in a long dress who had appeared on the chair at some point. The girl was surrounded by a fairy aura, but there was no expression on her beautiful face, which was highly consistent with the image of the cold and noble immortal in the Liyue novel.
But at this moment, she showed her mortal side. Her eyes, like those of colored glass, were curiously looking at Du Lin who was sleeping on the table.
In the end, she couldn't help it and stretched out her green and white fingers to poke Du Lin's face.
Just when the finger was about to touch Du Lin, his eyes suddenly opened and he dodged the opponent's finger "attack".
Du Lin flapped the small wings behind him, looked at the girl, then looked at Jiang Xun, and found that Jiang Xun had a smile on his face. He then put away his hostility, then slowly flew to Jiang Xun's shoulder, lay down and continued to sleep.
"What brings you here?"
Jiang Xun walked to the stone table, sat down opposite the girl, and asked with a smile.
"Ah, I've been in seclusion for a long time. I met the Emperor yesterday. He said you should be here, so I came to see you. What's wrong? Don't you welcome me?"
Jiang Ruoli played with her hair, curled it up with her fingers, and then let it down, looking at Jiang Xun with a sidelong glance.
"Haha, you think too much. I'm just surprised by your sudden visit."
Jiang Xun waved his hands. He was very nice to this girl whom he created himself.
"Humph, you are my father after all, so it's normal for you to visit me, right?"
Jiang Ruoli supported her head with one hand and snorted softly.
"Yes, yes, it was my negligence." Jiang Xun agreed.
"Lao Jiang, what's that on your shoulder?"
"This is Dulin, a creature of mine just like you."
Jiang Xun took Du Lin off his shoulder and placed him on the stone table. Du Lin had just been ambushed by Jiang Ruoli and was already not sleepy. When he heard the topic suddenly turn to himself, he opened his eyes.
"Will he... bite?"
After Jiang Ruoli heard Jiang Xun's explanation, the curiosity on her face became even stronger, and she became more interested.
"Du Lin is not a puppy, but he only wants me to touch him." Jiang Xun touched Du Lin's head, and the latter showed an expression of enjoyment.
Isn't this a puppy?
"Du Lin, we are relatives, can you let me touch you?"
However, Du Lin didn't even look at her, which made Miss Ruoli a little depressed.
Is she really that unlikable?
"Just get along with each other slowly. In comparison, you are already very good. At least Durin has no hostility towards you. You know, a certain bard has been bitten many times."
Jiang Xun used Wendy as an example to try to comfort the other party.
"Okay, by the way, Old Jiang, I want to ask you a favor." Jiang Ruoli changed the subject and her expression became serious.
"tell me the story."
"I would like to ask you to check the results of my retreat." Jiang Ruoli stood up and bowed slightly to Jiang Xun.
"No problem, come on." Jiang Xun found it very interesting.
He also wanted to see whether this girl's strength had increased after her retreat.
"Great, where shall we go for the competition?"
Seeing Jiang Xun agreed, Jiang Ruoli smiled again.
Jiang Xun didn't say anything, but just pointed his finger at the ground.
"But what if the noise is too loud?"
Jiang Xun smiled slightly when he heard that, and tapped the table with his fingers. The next moment, the scene around the table began to slowly change.
There is a fairy air creeping around, trees standing in rows, and rocks towering.
Jiang Ruoli stared at the surroundings with her big eyes, and a question appeared in her mind: when did the other party open up this space?
"This table is the foundation. Come on, try to break it."
