Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Chapter 270 I, "The True Lord Who Guides the Night," am back! Here I come!

With a loud whooshing sound, the Immortal Deer Shifting the Sky and Guiding the Heavens soared into the air at supersonic speed.

The celestial deer that took off did not go far away; the next second it turned back and leaped towards the audience in the stands.

Just when people thought the fairy deer was about to crash into them, it turned and went around them.

At the same time, that boastful and arrogant voice rang out again.

"I, 'The True Lord Who Guides Heaven Through the Night'—return!—come!—la! ! ! Ha—ha—ha—ha... "

The stunned audience then realized what was happening and burst into applause for the legendary immortal who was known for his boastfulness.

"Okay! Okay!"

"Immortal! You're so handsome!"

"Hey... does our design for the night lantern include this feature?"

"Oh dear, why worry about it so much? It must have been that female immortal who helped fix the Bright Night Lantern and then made some minor modifications! Hey—Lord True Lord of the Shifting Night! Look at me, look at me!"

The celestial deer treads through the air, bringing light wherever it goes.

Then, the True Lord of the Night-Guiding Heaven activated his immortal power, causing the lanterns below to gradually emit light and take flight.

From Feiyunpo to Chihuyan, the entire street, the entire city, is illuminated by those dazzling lanterns.

The dim city brightened up again, and people cheered and rejoiced, creating a lively atmosphere.

Ships at sea sounded their horns, and ancient tower bells rang, as if all were cheering and applauding for the celestial deer.

Since this Lantern Festival, people have left behind the following poem to describe the scene at that time:

A fairy descended from the sky to create peace, and moved the night to guide the heavens, revealing divine power.

Reborn from the ashes, their flames sweep across the heavens and earth; golden light illuminates and forges heroic souls.

Ten thousand lamps of the heart are entrusted to the stars, as heroes of yesteryear embark on their journey home.

Scattered light dances across the sky, as all living beings pray and call upon the True Lord.

Every year during the Lantern Festival, this story is brought back to the dinner table, becoming a cherished tale for every family.

Rao Luan, the True Lord of Heaven, descended to the mortal realm, repaired the malfunctioning Mingxiao Lantern, and brought it to life.

But what people didn't know was that the Bright Night Lantern had actually been replaced by a fairy, becoming the real True Lord of Moving Night and Guiding Heaven.

The fact that an immortal was reborn in ancient times, such a grand and earth-shattering event, did not cause the slightest ripple.

Not only was it completely unnoticed by the one in heaven, but it was also not recorded in the earth's veins. There is only a small story that has been passed down by the world.

Inside Ningguang's office, Huiyuan sat timidly on the sofa, her small hands tucked between her thighs, looking very reserved.

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

Hearing the other party's stern tone, Huiyuan broke out in a cold sweat, her gaze sweeping back and forth.

"Sister Ningguang~ Please help me this time since this is my first offense."

"You think...acting cute works on me?"

"No...Isn't it possible?"

"Alright...it actually worked. I'll leave the trouble you caused at the Lantern Festival to you. As for Keqing, I'll try to persuade her."

To find out what happened, we have to start from when Huiyuan destroyed the Mingxiao Lantern and resurrected Yixiao Daotian Zhenjun.

At that time, after Huiyuan relinquished control of her body, the system used a method to shield people's vision, making them unable to recognize that this fairy was Huiyuan.

According to Huiyuan's original plan, after reviving Yixiaodaotianzhenjun, he could simply disappear, committing a perfect crime without leaving any trace, so that Keqing would not be able to find out which immortal did this.

Although the Mingxiao Lantern was damaged and then repaired, and it didn't cause a big impact, given Keqing's personality, she would definitely ask questions.

After being resurrected, Yi Xiaodao Tianzhenjun began to show off wildly, using his new mechanical body to run around everywhere, from Tianheng Mountain to Guyun Pavilion, and then to Jueyun Pavilion and Qingce Manor.

The system was completely unprepared for this situation. In order to prevent the higher-ups from noticing the resurrection of the dead, it consumed a lot of extra energy, causing the system to temporarily shut down, which caused Huiyuan to fall directly into the sea.

After Keqing led her team to retrieve the fairy, they determined by her aura that she was an old acquaintance, General Huiyuan of Dawn.

After examining a series of elemental residues, Keqing discovered that she was both the one who destroyed and the one who repaired the Mingxiao Lantern. This inexplicable behavior greatly angered Keqing.

However, since Huiyuan had fallen into a coma, she couldn't hold her accountable, so she had no choice but to hand Huiyuan over to Ningguang.

Huiyuan is currently seeking help from Ningguang because she is afraid of being blamed by Keqing.

"Yuan, don't worry. Knowing Keqing's personality, she should only be angry for a while, and then she will make up with you again. The fact that she didn't spread the news that you are the Fallen Immortal already shows that she still intends to protect you and won't break off the relationship."

"Is this so..."

"That's it. So, is there anything else? If not... I'll continue with my official duties."

"Hehe, that's all, thank you Ningguang-jie. I'll take my leave now."

Having received Ningguang's assurance, Huiyuan stopped pressing the matter and left.

After all, we can't use up our Entangled Bonds just for a four-star character, can we?

Just after Huiyuan left Yujingtai, a message came through on her phone.

(Xiangling? What does she want with me...?)

With this question in mind, I turned on my phone.

The sign above reads: "Wanmintang, delicious food, come quickly."

Huiyuan's eyes lit up. Xiangling said there was something delicious, and it must be really delicious.

Without much hesitation, his footwork left afterimages as he arrived at Wanmin Hall in just one minute.

Two bright red-clad girls were chatting in a friendly atmosphere; they were Hu Tao and Xiang Ling, two beautiful girls.

Not only that, but there's also a sweet fragrance that wafts towards you.

Huiyuan stepped forward and greeted, "Hey! Xiangling, what delicious food did you make today?"

"Oh, Sister Yuanyuan, you came so fast... Looks like you've been craving my cooking, haven't you? Hehe, today Hu Tao brought me stuffed plum blossoms, and I made a big pot of thread flower cakes!"

At this moment, Hu Tao looked at Huiyuan and felt a strong sense of familiarity.

(Black-haired girl, Eye of Geo...? Where have I seen her before?)

Puzzled, Hu Tao asked in a familiar manner.

"Miss Yuan, you look familiar. Have we met somewhere before?"

Upon hearing this question, Huiyuan recalled her first encounter with Hu Tao.

Back then, Huiyuan was a young man, but now... she's a teenage girl.

Just thinking about it makes me feel tired, and I immediately feel dejected.

When Hu Tao saw that Hui Yuan looked sad after she asked a question, she became even more puzzled.

Xiangling noticed Huiyuan's unusual behavior and became concerned.

"W-What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
