45. Liyue Messenger
A few months later.
Hall of Rebirth.
Tong Yan's figure is still petite, but the pair of jade rabbits in front of her seem to be a little fatter. At this moment, she is holding her cheeks and looking at the full moon in the sky with a sad face.
"Mr. Zhongli, when will the teacher come back to see me?"
Listening to the childish voice, Zhongli, who was walking the bird under the moonlight with his cage in hand, stopped.
The moonlight is beautiful tonight, and the entire Liyue Port is dyed silver-grey. Although it is cold, it is not deserted.
Liyue is brightly lit, and countless sky lanterns float into the distance carrying various wishes.
"He has not contacted me."
"Did something happen to the teacher?"
Tong Yan was very worried. Mandrill came back a month ago, left her homework and left in a hurry. Tong Yan didn't even see her. Now the homework has been almost completed, and Liyue's important sea is...
During the Lantern Festival, Tong Yan missed Mandrill more and more deeply.
"He will not allow you to go to him before you get his approval."
"But the improvement in your strength in the past few months is obvious to everyone."
"Perhaps you can write some wishes so that he can feel them."
Tong Yan sighed. In the past few months, she had activated many abilities and became more and more focused on passive applications. However, her task was always stuck on the second one and she failed to get Mandrill's approval.
This made her more and more anxious.
There have been a lot of evil spirits outside Liyue Port recently, and even if the Shengsheng Hall and several evil-exorcist families join forces, they can't completely eliminate them. This makes Tong Yan even more worried about Mandrill's situation.
Even though Xiang Wan and Tong Yan had told her that Mandrill's karma had been completely suppressed, it was still difficult to reassure her.
Looking at the frowning child with a sad face, Zhongli sighed.
"There is something very important that you need to do, and it can be considered a test for you."
"This is Mandrill specifically asking me to appoint you after you complete the second stage of your homework."
"The task the teacher gave me?"
Tong Yan quickly became energetic, and when she heard Mandrill, she was no longer sleepy.
"What mission?"
"If I complete it successfully, will I be recognized by the teacher?"
"Then will he come to see me?"
Seeing Tong Yan looking at him expectantly, Zhongli really didn't want to tell her the truth, but he didn't want to lie either.
"Mandrill has been silently watching your growth."
Listening to Zhong Li's words, Tong Yan suddenly looked curiously at the wall of the courtyard. Then she suddenly remembered something, and her pretty face couldn't help but blush.
If she pays silent attention, will Mandrill see what she sometimes does in the room?
If it was seen, it would be too shameful, right?
Seeing that Tong Yan's expression was a little strange, Zhongli did not ask any questions, but said calmly: "You will be Liyue's envoy to go to Daozhu City to meet their general, and personally bring this letter to her."
"There is no need to avoid taboos along the way, just be honest and open."
"Okay, Mr. Zhongli."
Taking the envelope and putting it in the ring, Tong Yan looked at Zhongli with gleaming eyes, as if he had a question to ask, but hesitated to speak.
"Do you have any questions?"
Tong Yan tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"I heard that in Inazuma City, an executive named Madam was killed by the Shogun himself, while the General's God's Heart was obtained by another executive named Skirmisher."
"What is the real purpose of my coming here?"
Listening to Tong Yan's question, Zhongli hung the birdcage in the court.
"Now that the eye hunting order in Inazuma City has been lifted, she is at a confused moment. Maybe she can let go of some of her obsessions."
"If she is interested, you can invite her to come to our Liyue."
"Although eternity is the concept closest to heavenly principles, eternity does not mean that we should stand still."
"She understands this, but she just doesn't want to accept it."
Tong Yan scratched her head. She didn't understand, so she asked in a low voice: "Mr. Zhongli, did you have a good relationship with General Thunder and Lightning before?"
"how you said that?"
"I always feel that my husband is a little special to her."
Zhongli held his hands in his arms, recalling that time, with a look of helplessness and regret on his face.
"Maybe it's because I owe her..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhongli stroked his sleeves gently and returned to the room, leaving Tong Yan alone sitting quietly in the courtyard.
