Genshin Impact: Spoiling the Future

The adepti back then, though not yet informed by the Emperor’s dream, already knew that Zhongli was the Emperor, and that the Emperor hadn’t died.

Otherwise, with Xianyun’s impatient nature, she would have gone to make trouble for the Qixing herself.

Xianyun was still continuing to tell Streetward Rambler’s later story; after Guizhong’s passing, Streetward Rambler played the qin in reminiscence, and unexpectedly, the bell’s sound from the Dust-Cleansing Bell harmonized, the two’s compositions merging into one song.

That was the song Streetward Rambler was most satisfied with, and also the song Streetward Rambler played only once.

And that Fontaine person’s ancestor perhaps was, during Streetward Rambler’s qin playing, accidentally fell into the water and was casually saved.

Streetward Rambler’s temperament was similar to Guizhong’s, also fond of excitement, fond of wine and good songs.

But after Guizhong left, she instead liked sitting alone in the mountains, playing the qin for the cloud birds to listen, until after she created that ’joint effort’ song did she seal the qin and descend the mountain.

Xianyun had also been curious: such a satisfying tune, why only play it once?

[Streetward Rambler said: ”The qin strings unbroken, yet the soulmate passed; Xianyun, you tell me, this tune to whom should it be played for?”]

Xianyun: Am I not a person? Am I really not a person?

Eh, and really not; she was already a bird at the time.

Cough, not talking these jokes; readers only reacted after finishing this segment: in that long stretch of words just now, this bird seemed to have said one line of ’main topic’.

What was the main topic? Of course, the reason this event was brought up at the start—the Dvorak’s ancestor!

Dvorak’s ancestor was saved by Granny Ping! This original focus was just brushed past by her.

Fine, now no one cared about Dvorak’s ancestor story anymore.

The story of Guizhong and Streetward Rambler did have quite the destructive power; it wasn’t the kind that made one want to burst into tears immediately, but an unresolved feeling buried in the heart.

Probably, later on, whenever reminiscing for some reason, the heart would still ache.

[Ganyu also sighed with emotion: ”Though I and Guizhong had a few chance encounters, I didn’t know there was such a past...”]

[Xianyun sighed: ”If not for you all seeking that adeptus, these past events would probably also be sealed away in the dust together.”]

[”Traveler, now you already know: the fairy who lent a hand to save was precisely Streetward Rambler. Do you plan to bring these up with her?”]

Xianyun’s words had some hesitation; she didn’t really want to bring up these past events with Streetward Rambler again.

The sorrow of an old friend’s passing, she couldn’t bear it herself; let alone Streetward Rambler, who in her view had an even closer relationship with Guizhong?

Ganyu, however, had a different perspective; now it was her turn to advise Xianyun.

[Ganyu: ”I’ve guarded in Liyue Harbor for long, seen many partings. Loved ones and good friends passing, this pain, I understand.”]

[”But the city too, people too, are always moving forward.”]

[”In the mountains, one less fairy, but at the same time, in the mortal world, one more life elder.”]

[”Though we lose, we also constantly gain.”]

[”She has given help to many people, and will also guide more people. And they... will all be her friends, accompanying her to admire flowers, accompanying her to discuss music.”]

[”A soulmate passing is indeed saddening, but life will continue. In the distance... there will surely be new friends waiting for her.”]

This segment of words was profoundly touching, especially to Little Ei.

Ei had a face full of confusion: this sounds so familiar; isn’t this what Lucian said when advising me back then? He advised me to move forward just like this.

Turned out after all this time, it was copied from someone else! Back then still thought he said it so reasonably, understood quite a lot, not like a twenty-something human.

Turned out after all this time, this was someone else’s insight; he adapted it a bit and put it on Ei.

But Ei wasn’t angry; on the contrary, she was very grateful to Lucian, because these words really encouraged her, making her resolve to move forward.

But still felt a bit subtle; how to describe this subtle feeling.

Originally thought oneself was the redemption story heroine; now discovered oneself was actually the immersed reader; probably this kind of feeling.

But no matter what, it was because of the resolve back then to move forward that allowed today’s her to reunite with sister and friends; toward Lucian, she only had gratitude.

Indeed, still have to make a meal to express heartfelt thanks?

In the story, Ganyu’s these words also successfully convinced Xianyun.

Don’t look at Ganyu seeming very shy and not loving to talk; but she was the secretary to the Qixing for who knows how many years; her speaking skills were exceptionally good.

She just looks soft and fluffy, easy to bully and easy to deceive, with that feeling of being tricked into giving birth and still counting the money; but actually she... well, hard to say; perhaps following her mom.

But at least far superior to the Cloud Retainer who claimed to be skilled at chatting, by who knows how many levels.

This wasn’t it; Ganyu was still advising Xianyun to go with them to Liyue Harbor to see Granny Ping.

[”Granny Ping and you haven’t met in a long time; during the Lantern Rite, Liyue Harbor also has brand new festival arrangements...”]

[Xianyun retorted: ”What novelty could the Lantern Rite have? This adeptus and her too; if wanting to meet, isn’t it possible anytime.”]

Actually, this immortal bird was just a bit embarrassed; after all, just talked about the other party’s matters; now how to have the face to go see the other party.

[Ganyu: ”Your words are wrong. Every hour every day, every month every year, all different. Many things shouldn’t just be waited for.”]

Ganyu spoke very well, but Xianyun was still a bit hesitant.

On the contrary, the Traveler directly activated her face-making fruit ability.

[Traveler: ”Can you give me some face.”]

[Xianyun directly compromised: ”...Fine.”]

Readers gave a thumbs up: this is the Traveler! Forgot the front, forgot the back; anyway, once face is opened, it’s ah ah ah ah ah.

Xianyun left first, heading to Liyue Harbor; Ganyu, however, wasn’t in a hurry, instead looking at Guili Plains and said:

[”You say, if carefully planted and tended, one day, could Guili Plains bloom full of Glaze Lilies again?”]

Ganyu voiced her bold and romantic idea: if tended with care, could this place bloom full of Glaze Lilies again?

Thinking of that scene, readers’ minds started flashing life scenes, as if seeing Guizhong frolicking in the flower field.

But readers still shook their heads: probably not, right? Not even enough for you to eat.

[Xianyun returned: ”This adeptus takes back the earlier praise. You child, still too naive.”]

After the tsundere immortal crane finished, she really left, heading to Liyue Harbor first; just now she hadn’t actually left; the story was her imagining what to say upon seeing Streetward Rambler.

I-people are like this; before doing something, they first rehearse it in their mind once.

In the end, she heard Ganyu’s words and specially came back to roast; after roasting, then really left.

The Traveler and Ganyu arrived at Liyue Harbor a step later, going to Yujing Terrace to find Granny Ping.

Naturally, Cloud Retainer had already arrived here ahead of time, waiting for the Traveler and the others.
