Chapter 217: Fallen Leaves Fly Away, Entering People's Hearts
"Actually, we already know the answer to this!" Kong's voice was very soft, but to the ears of Master Liuyun Jiefeng, it was like a heavy hammer with enormous force.
"Already know?" Master Liuyun Jiefeng muttered, staring, "Sure enough, it was Mo Ran who did it again! Humph, it's rare for this immortal to have a chat with someone, it's really a nuisance!"
"Master Liuyun, Lord Mo Ran is actually doing this for our own good. After all, the Traveler and Paimon have been searching for so long and have worked very hard." Ganyu advised softly.
Upon hearing this, Master Liuyun Jiefeng became even more furious and said indignantly, "Ganyu, how come even you have started to turn your elbow outward? You were not like this before. Could it be that that guy has given you some kind of magic potion again?"
"No, no, please don't misunderstand me, Master." Gan Yu waved her hands and explained, "Master Mo Ran has always treated me very well and would never force me to drink that soup!"
"Look, that's what I'm talking about! Don't get the point wrong. You don't even call me Master anymore. It turns out you've stayed in the mortal world for too long and acquired a lot of bad habits!"
"No, that's not it. It's just because I feel that if I were to expose myself in front of others, my relationship with Zhenjun would not be very good, so..." Ganyu stopped talking halfway and fell silent because she was not sure what the exact reason was.
Ganyu also didn't know when her way of addressing Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng gradually changed from Master to Zhenjun. Could it be after she started working in Liyue Harbor?
Paimeng looked at the sharp-edged Master Liuyunjiefeng and spread his hands, saying, "As expected of this fairy bird, it really is good at chatting!"
"Nonsense! I am indifferent by nature, reserved in emotions and not good at socializing with others! Compared to that guy in Ge Chenlangshi, I am far inferior!" True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng held his head high, seeming to be very proud of this matter.
Paimon folded his hands, looked unconvinced, and said, "You have as many friends as leaves in the forest, and you still say you are not one!"
"Not showing shyness in front of others doesn't mean that I like making friends. This is called cheerful introversion. I am not like Ge Chenlangshi. She has a bold personality, but she is also delicate and can speak well."
Sora glanced at the time and said, "It's already lunchtime, we should go to our appointment."
"Well, I will no longer bother with this rude fellow Paimeng, but if he continues to push his limits, you can't blame me!"
Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng flapped his wings, and a stream of magical power carried everyone and flew towards Hulao Mountain. Ganyu originally wanted to leave, but was forced to stay by her forceful means.
On the Hulao Mountain.
Two figures, a crane and two deer stood there. They had smiles in their eyes, but in their black-clothed eyes there was a hint of sadness, so faint that no one noticed.
The yellow-haired girl did not stand with them, but stood alone. She could not fit in with the conversation of these people, because sometimes they were cheerful, and then suddenly jumped to the bloody talk about the Demon War period, which could be said to be completely different.
Therefore, Ying sat alone on the treetop, looking towards the direction of Mount Ao Zang, waiting for her brother to arrive.
A few yellow leaves are falling, like a wanderer leaving his hometown, but he doesn't know whether he can return to the place where he grew up. Everything seems uncertain, but it seems that fate is already determined.
Ying supported her chin with both hands, the fallen leaves in her eyes fell, and she lay gently on the ground, motionless again, like a person pretending to be asleep, and could not be awakened no matter what.
At this time, a strong wind blew, blowing up the fallen leaves and causing them to float in the air, swaying, like a lonely boat in the vast ocean, helpless and helpless.
Ying looked carefully and saw that it was Master Liuyun Jiefeng who brought everyone here. The gust of wind just now was also caused by magic.
A man in black glanced at the people who came and walked towards them. His steps were brisk, but his heart was still heavy and difficult to let go.
The more he saw and heard in this world, the more he was reluctant to leave, unwilling to leave these friends and family who had accompanied him for most of his life.
If a person has no roots, wouldn't he be like duckweed, drifting with the flow? Although fate is uncertain, everyone has a place that belongs to him or her in his or her heart, and that is a person's most empty and clear pure land.
It hides very deeply, perhaps sometimes, even itself cannot discover it. Its existence will only enter a corner of it when it is most painful, to heal and recuperate there.
Mo Ran continued walking. The road was not long, only about a dozen steps, but after one step, there was one less step. He suppressed his reluctance, fearing that he would leave sadly again.
We clearly agreed to leave happily, but is it possible that we can't do it...
A yellow fallen leaf floated before his eyes, and with a slight sigh, it slowly flew forward again and landed right on the shoulder of Ying who had just jumped off the treetop.
The yellow-haired girl looked at the fallen leaf on her shoulder, her eyes flickering slightly. How could the leaf's experience be so similar to hers? The sigh of the man in black, who sent the leaf back, was also like her, who fought hard against the Maintainer for their meeting!
Many surprising but enlightening things happen unintentionally, such as a man in black walking on the ground and a casual sigh.
"If it weren't for the person in front of me, I would probably still be carrying out my ridiculous plan to overthrow the rule of the Seven Gods." Ying took the fallen leaf, placed it in the center of her palm, gently clenched it, and did not let go.
Her future journeys with her brother will also be like this. They will no longer be separated, lonely and helpless.
"Father." Shen He smiled happily, ran quickly to the man in black, and took his arm. She hadn't done this for several months.
It is said that when a boy grows up he should avoid his mother, and when a girl grows up she should avoid her father. This is indeed true, but since this is the thing that should be avoided, their ordinary actions are not a big deal.
Mo Ran smiled indifferently. Shen He was always a very considerate child. Even if it was just a few steps, he would walk some of it by himself and would not let Shen He carry himself.
From the small to the big, if it is her future lover, Shen He is a girl who knows how to run in both directions, with a pretty face, impeccable character, and an almost invincible family background. Who is worthy of such a good girl? Who can make her fall in love with him?
Mo Ran reached out and pulled up his daughter's hair, then said, "Hey!"
Paimon followed the blond boy and came over, smiling, "I see! It's Fairy Bird No. 2, Fairy Deer No. 1, and Fairy Deer No. 2!"
"Three True Lords, long time no see." Kong said embarrassedly. This emergency food was really rude.
Fortunately, apart from Master Yixiao Daotian, the other two Masters were relatively good-tempered. The Immortal Deer No. 1, as Paimeng called him, spoke up and said slowly, "A familiar face. You came from Liyue Harbor, right? How is the city doing these days?"
"All good, all good!" Paimon also knew that the Lantern Festival would say good things, but this thought did not last long, and he added: "If you want to know, just go and see for yourself."
Yixiaodaotian Zhenjun snorted, "Little Paimeng, you are very brave to take the nickname of the immortal family! Do you want to wrestle with me?"
"No way, I was just talking casually!" Paimon's eyes flickered, and he caught a glimpse of a man in black. He hurriedly hid behind him. Sometimes, this man in black is safer than the Rock King.
Yixiaodao Tianzhenjun said: "Mo Ran, call the little thing out, we are going to have a fair and just duel!"
Mo Ran smiled faintly, and was about to move aside, but there was nothing behind him. Shen He looked at his father's back and saw a small floating white-haired creature, who was holding on to the black clothes tightly with both hands, refusing to let go.
"Take a break, everyone. Stop playing around." Morax had no choice but to come over to administer justice and end this farce as soon as possible.
Seeing that he was saved, Paimeng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "At the critical moment, you two are really reliable!"
Mo Ran laughed and said, "Then, should Paimeng come down? I don't have the intention of adopting another child!"
Paimon smiled awkwardly and quickly floated down, still looking as vigorous as ever, and said, "Zhongli, we brought you the bamboo shoots."
“You’ve come just in time.” The Rock King, who went by the alias Zhongli, took the bamboo shoots from Menglue and put them into the cooking pot next to him. He turned around and looked at the man in black.
Mo Ran was chatting and laughing happily with his daughter. When he noticed the gazes coming at him, he pretended not to see them. Anyway, they had already made an agreement before, and he didn't want to go over there at this time.
Zhongli looked at it for a while, then he could only cough twice and said slowly: "Mr. Mo Ran, please lend me your immortal power."
"Aren't there four immortals beside you? Do you still need me to do this?" Mo Ran said casually without turning back.
“But Mr. Mo Ran’s immortal power is the purest, so I’m sure the dishes he makes will be more delicious.” Zhongli said with a smile.
Mo Ran still didn't turn around, and said: "It's useless to me. You promised me before that I wouldn't have to cook. Could it be that the great Emperor Yan Wang, who also created the contract, wants to break it!"
"Of course not." Zhongli smiled awkwardly and looked at the other immortals. They said yes, then injected immortal power into the boiler and lit a raging fire to cook.
Zhongli said slowly: "The authentic pickled pork with preserved vegetables should be cooked slowly over low heat. Using the immortal family's mechanical technique to make it quickly can be considered a shortcut."
"That mechanism, is it another magical mechanism made by Mo Ran?" Pai Meng asked. After all, the thing that left the least impression on people in black was the mechanism.
When the immortals heard this, they all laughed heartily, except for True Lord Liu Yunjiefeng, who looked resentful and scolded, "This is a mechanism created by this immortal! It is called the Divine Mechanism Cooking Machine, don't talk nonsense!"
"Hey, so Master Liuyun Jiefeng also knows mechanical arts?" Paimeng scratched his head and said, "Is this the first time?"
Mo Ran laughed and said, "It's not your fault. After all, this is the only mechanism that Master Liuyunjiefeng can use. If I remember correctly, this one should have been debugged..."
"Don't say it! Otherwise, I will never forgive you!" shouted True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng.
Mo Ran was stunned, nodded slightly, and said no more. If it were in the past, he would not have given up like this, but now that he was about to leave, he just let it go.
Ying ignored the affairs of the fairies. She gently took her brother's arm and held the fallen leaf gently with her other hand, speechless.
