Chapter 686

Sumeru, Sanctuary of Surasthana.

Seeing that Lumine's state was a bit wrong, her good partner Paimon hurriedly came over to comfort her.

"Lumine, don't think blindly."

"Look, your brother took the initiative to help the Aranara, how could he have bad thoughts!"

"If that were the case, wouldn't standing by and watching be better?"

"As for the Viparyas…"

"Didn't the screen say it can save humans eroded by the Withering?"

"Maybe your brother's friends were affected!"

After hearing these words, the light in Lumine's eyes recovered a little.

But then she thought of something and hurriedly said.

"Then what about running away and hoping not to be hated?"

"Ah this, this…"

Paimon was suddenly asked by Lumine.

Covering her head, she didn't know how to respond.

But who is she?

The Traveler's best partner!

Must come up with a "reasonable" answer!

So she hurriedly searched in her little brain.

A moment later, she really found it!

"Ah!"

"I know!"

Paimon clenched her fist and patted her palm, then excitedly shook her finger and said.

"Lumine, didn't you tell me about the past between you and your brother before?"

"You were preparing to leave Teyvat, and then were intercepted by that someone, oh right, the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles!"

"I guess the 'ran away' here refers to this!"

"As for not being hated…"

"This is also very simple!"

"He left without saying goodbye!"

"And didn't say his name."

"So he hopes his friends won't hate him!"

After speaking, she gave herself a thumbs up in her heart!

So amazing!

I could even think of this!

As expected of me~

Hehe~

After listening, Lumine was silent.

Although Paimon's words sounded reasonable at first, they were actually a bit untenable.

Her personality is a bit mean, but she is also a smart person!

Naturally, she discovered it!

So her brother Aether likely did something back then.

Otherwise, there would be no need to leave such a thing behind.

However, this little one's comfort also helped a bit.

At least, her mood has eased a lot now.

After taking a deep breath, Lumine looked at Paimon.

"Paimon, thanks~"

"Hehe~"

"We don't need to be so polite between us~"

Paimon put her hands behind her back, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Lumine smiled slightly.

Then she turned her head to look at Nahida, who was lowering her head in thought.

After hesitating for a moment, she said in a low tone.

"Nahida, I don't know what exactly happened back then."

"I also don't know if Aether did anything to apologize to the Aranara or Sumeru."

"If he really did…"

"When I find that guy later, I will definitely beat him up!"

"And then tie him up to apologize to you all!"

For Lumine,

one is her blood relative!

One is her good friend!

Although she hasn't known this friend for long,

she already considers the other party a true friend!

Lumine doesn't want the two sides to have a conflict one day.

Nor does she want to create a rift because of this!

Nahida, upon hearing these words, also came back to her senses from her thoughts.

Looking up, seeing Lumine's apologetic look, she smiled and said.

"First of all, whether your brother did those things is still unknown."

"So you don't need to be like this!"

"Then, there is an old saying in Liyue, called 'judge by actions, not by heart, judge by heart and there are no perfect people'!"

"Regardless of whether he had other purposes."

"Just like the screen said, objectively, he did indeed help Sumeru a lot!"

"Otherwise, Sumeru would have paid a huge price even if it hadn't been destroyed!"

"The Aranara would also have lost a lot."

"Finally, taking a step back, even if your brother really has bad thoughts about Sumeru or the Aranara."

"But he is him, and you are you!"

Speaking of this, Nahida put her right hand on her chest and said seriously.

"You are the great hero who saved Sumeru!"

"You are my first Sage!"

"You are the person I trust the most!"

"So I will not have any prejudice against you because of your blood relative!"

"You will always be my best friend!"

"As for your brother…"

"One day, I will take the Aranara to find him and ask for an explanation!"

"See how this 'Nara Varuna' will face these good friends who once treated him sincerely!"

Hearing these remarks, Lumine was deeply moved.

"Woooo, Nahida~"

Saying this, she hugged Nahida in her arms and rubbed her face against her.
