Chapter 63 Sword Out! Shadow Follows!
Chapter 63 The sword comes out! The shadow follows!
Yujing Terrace is the highest place in Liyue Port. People think that holding ceremonies here makes it easier to communicate with God and make it easier for God to hear their voices.
Standing on Yujing Terrace, you can almost take in the entire Liyue Port.
But the disadvantage is that the place is too small, it can only accommodate about a thousand people, and more than 80% of them are foreign tourists.
As the maritime trade center of the Teyvat continent, travelers from various countries come here every day.
There are free men from Mondstadt, conspirators from Zhidong, intellectuals from Xumi, and the unlucky ones trapped in Liyue who can't get back home.
With different purposes, they participated in the Immortal Invitation Ceremony and made their wishes in front of the only God of Rock on this continent who clocked in to work every year.
Therefore, they consider the Immortal Invitation Ceremony to be the busiest day in Teyvat.
But the Liyue people themselves don’t think so. One of the highlights of the Immortal Invitation Ceremony is the emperor. They have seen it so many times, and they basically don’t understand the oracle every year, so everyone just joins in the fun.
Oh, that's all. Just treat it as a day off and have some fun.
From time to time, I make fun of those foreigners. They have never even seen their own gods. They come here to see other people’s gods. It makes me laugh to death.
In the attic on the top floor of Yuehai Pavilion, Shi Lan grinned: "It's really scary. It's a colorful place, full of human heads..."
People from every country with different hair colors are crowded together, like a hundred flowers blooming.
His eyes kept scanning everyone, and finally stopped on a purple-haired girl wearing a headband.
"The master carver is really easy to recognize..."
Shi Lan laughed a few times, and clearly saw Ke Qing with her arms folded in the first row of the inner circle. However, the little girl's expression was not particularly good, she was fierce, and she could feel the cold even if she was sitting so far away.
Shi Lan muttered: "Who has offended her again? Why does she have this expression everywhere?"
"Shi Lan, what are you looking at?" Xiang Ling couldn't help but feel a little strange when she saw him holding the window sill and concentrating.
Shi Lan was happy, "Look, there is an unlucky guy pursuing Ke Qing..."
Xiangling was also very interested, and there were Hutao at the same time. The three of them crowded together to eat melon, while Zhongli was the only one sitting in the back drinking tea. Gan Yu had already left.
"I know this kid, he is my client No. XXXX...Look, what is Shi Lanyou doing in my notes..."
"Shh!" Shi Lan held down Hu Tao's hand that was about to take the Death Note, "Eat in peace."
On Yujing Terrace, the people in the inner circle stood outside the railings, with the Qianyan Army waiting in front of them.
Keqing was in the first row, and there was a boy wearing glasses next to her, who kept talking to her.
The boy was very close to Keqing and kept talking. Keqing was very upset by what he said and kept shaking the small fan in her hand.
The boy became more and more excited as he talked, and then he showed a small flower from his hand like magic and gave it to Keqing.
Shi Lan was surprised: "Oh? How many times?"
Hutao stretched out his neck and put up a tent with his hands: "What is this? I can't see clearly!"
Xiangling introduced: "It's Qingxin! One of the raw materials for making Tianshu meat."
Shi Lan was surprised: "Does that mean love at first sight? You brat is pretty good at it, right?"
Below, Keqing shook her head politely, without giving her a chance, and didn't even bother to say anything, leaving the boy holding the flowers very embarrassed.
Soon after, the boy put away the flowers, laughed twice, as if he had thought of something, and took a gift box from the servant behind him, obviously prepared.
The three people in the attic stretched their necks.
The gift box was opened, and inside was a hairpin.
Shi Lan's smile froze, and he subconsciously touched the things in his arms.
He cursed secretly in his heart: "Damn profiteer, didn't you say there is only one of this thing in Liyue?"
The hairpin that the boy gave to Keqing was exactly the same as the one that Keqing saw at the stall before... and judging from the material, it was even better than the one on that stall.
Shi Lan was very unhappy: "This guy really came prepared!"
Under the gaze of everyone, Keqing picked up the hairpin.
Hairpins made of crystal reflect dazzling light in the sun, they are gorgeous and expensive.
"Keqing won't accept it." Xiang Ling said decisively.
Hutao was puzzled: "Huh? Why? Keqing has already picked it up!"
Xiangling just smiled: "I won't accept it."
Although she really hoped that Keqing could accept the boy's gift, if that happened, it would at least prove that Keqing's attitude towards Shi Lan was not absolute, but a woman's intuition told her that Keqing would not accept it.
Sure enough, when Ke Qing saw the style of the hairpin clearly, her face became even more ugly.
"Are you following me?"
The tone was as cold as nine days of ice, making the boy shiver, and explained incoherently: "I didn't...my bodyguard saw it..."
The servant behind the boy covered his face helplessly.
"Ha... He actually sent someone to follow you... You are so promising..." Ke Qing laughed angrily, put the hairpin back into the gift box and handed it to the boy's servant, then took off the boy's glasses and threw them aside.
The boy exclaimed. His highly myopic eyes were as blind as a blind man without his glasses. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and fumbled for his glasses...
The servant behind him was worried about his young master, but when he saw Ke Qing's cold eyes, he shrank his neck and said nothing.
"Pfft hahahaha... I'm laughing so hard!"
In the attic, Shi Lan was very happy.
Xiangling looked at him with her chin in her hand, "I really don't know if this guy is happy because Keqing refused the gift, or because the guy looked funny looking for glasses..."
Ke Qing looked at the boy's embarrassed look with disgust, her heart moved, she raised her head and looked into the distance, and clearly saw several little heads sticking out of the attic window of Yuehai Pavilion.
And that idiot who smiled happily.
"This guy...how did he get there?"
"Damn it! He must have seen what just happened!"
"I'm so depressed, but you actually laugh so happily at my fault!"
Keqing looked at the boy who had finally found the glasses, snorted coldly, turned around, pushed away the crowd and left the inner circle.
"Did she see me?" Shi Lan rubbed his eyes and found that Ke Qing actually turned around and left the inner circle, disappearing into the crowd.
Xiang Lingdao said doubtfully: "She is coming to us..."
Then, everyone saw Keqing on the rockery beside the wall.
She carefully picked up her skirt and climbed up the rockery. The Qian Yanjun around were stunned and didn't know what she was going to do.
Without much effort, Ke Qing climbed up the rockery, and then held the void in her hand. The surrounding air suddenly became distorted, and then the arc flashed, and she actually pulled out a long sword out of thin air...
He flipped his wrist to hold the sword flower, and the surrounding area was in an uproar! The crowd was frightened.
Someone screamed: "Where is the Qianyan Army! Where is the Qianyan Army! There is a little girl here wielding a sword! It's so scary! She also has lightning on her body!"
Stop screaming! Qian Yanjun was also frightened!
Qianyan Army officers stepped forward and comforted him: "Little sister Keqing! What are you going to do? Calm down!"
Standing on the rockery, Xiao Keqing looked heroic and cool, and said coldly: "Get out of the way!"
The crowd stepped back in horror.
Shi Lan had a bad feeling in her heart: "What is she going to do?"
Immediately, Qing let out a low drink, and the God's Eye placed next to his body shone with lightning.
"Let you get out of the way!!"
She waved hard, and the sword flew straight towards Yuehai Pavilion!
"Eye of God! You use it like this!?"
Shi Lan's scalp suddenly went numb, and he rolled down from the window sill into the room in embarrassment. Before he could see the situation clearly, the next second the long sword flew in from the window with a trail of lightning, and directly shattered the sword that Zhong Li had just lifted.
The raised tea cup was nailed to the wall!
Suddenly a flash of lightning flashed...
Zhongli looked at Ke Qing who suddenly appeared in the room, his hand still holding the cup, coughed lightly, and said silently:
"Should I apologize first...?"
His clothes were all wet with tea.
Chapter completed!
