Chapter 240
Because he had seen the twin sisters of the Raiden Shogun.
Zhongli could instantly identify the visitor's identity.
In terms of appearance alone, the two were indeed indistinguishable, but the tear mole at the corner of the eye and the difference in temperament were very distinct.
Moreover, the current Raiden Makoto was still accompanying Luo Li's ex-wife in the secret realm of Guili Plains, so it was impossible for her to appear here.
But Raiden Ei's appearance surprised him even more than Raiden Makoto being here.
Shouldn't the other party be in Inazuma leading the Shogunate? Recently, she had even issued the Sakoku Decree and the Vision Hunt Decree to maintain her eternity.
Although he knew that after Luo Li's past, Raiden Ei would definitely change, this change was too fast.
How many days had passed since then.
Hu Tao gave a light "eh" and said: "You know each other?"
Because Raiden Makoto had almost never been to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, and sometimes she wasn't there, she really didn't know the relationship between these people.
After a light "eight hundred and twenty" degree of surprise, Zhongli quickly collected his mood.
"Yes, I know her. Thank you, Director, for bringing her over. Remember to go to the street to do promotion later. Director, it's better to go earlier, so as not to delay time by staying in the shop."
Zhongli, who issued the order to evict the guest, persuaded Hu Tao in a consultative tone.
The quirky girl suddenly patted her head and realized: "Oh right, I still have to promote customers. Then I won't disturb you! I'm off!"
Coming fast, going fast.
The girl, like a ghost, disappeared without a trace in an instant, finally leaving space for communication.
Without outsiders, Raiden Ei didn't need to hide anymore.
"Morax, where is my sister?"
Getting straight to the point, she didn't have much interaction with Morax.
Even at the gathering of the Seven Archons back then, she, who sat at the end, only listened and watched, rarely expressing her views.
At that time, she stood like a lackey, but now she was the Raiden Shogun leading Inazuma.
Changing the set, one could say "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river"!
Therefore, there was naturally no talk of reminiscing.
Zhongli pondered for a moment and didn't hide it either.
"Baal is now located in Guili Plains, the place once built by Luo Li and Guizhong. There is a secret realm under the cliff, and she is in it."
Taking advantage of her turning to leave, Zhongli added: "There are several seals in the secret realm. If you want to enter safely, remember to bring this, otherwise it will trigger the defense mechanism."
As he spoke, he threw a token that looked like a key and a crest to Ei.
"This is one of the keys that Luo Li entrusted to me for safekeeping when he established the secret realm. One is in the hands of your sister Baal, and the second is here. Since you are here, this thing is considered returned to its original owner."
Zhongli finally breathed a sigh of relief. He could finally stop worrying about the affairs of their family.
He could peacefully be his own free and unfettered person, watching the prosperity of Liyue, listening to music, and enjoying plays, free and happy.
No wonder Barbatos and Luo Li both liked to be hands-off shopkeepers; it turned out that this life was so wonderful.
Taking the key that symbolized the crest, Raiden Ei didn't ask any more questions. Knowing Morax's current situation from Lumine, she chose to leave almost the moment she got the answer.
What was there to talk about with Morax? Now she couldn't wait to see her sister, Raiden Makoto.
Learning in her early years that Makoto and Luo Li had both died in the Abyss, her heart was no different from being cut to pieces.
She couldn't even handle one person, let alone the man she loved most.
With the double superposition, it was perfectly normal for her to turn dark.
Even Kitsune Saiguu and Mikoshi Chiyo couldn't change her mind.
"Beelzebul, wait a moment. On this trip, help me offer a cup of wine to Guizhong."
The moment she took a step, Zhongli spoke again suddenly.
Ei stopped suddenly, turned her head, and saw him pick up a pot of wine from the side of the table.
"Osmanthus wine made when I was idle. Although it's not as good as that guy's wine, it's also a fine product I planted a hundred years ago. I think it's barely worthy of being a sacrificial wine."
Sighing like this, Zhongli handed the pot of wine to Ei.
Afterwards, he got up and left the courtyard leisurely.
"Mr. Yun has a play today. Please trouble yourself to tell Baal that if she is free, why not come and appreciate it together."
Extending an invitation to an old friend he rarely saw, Zhongli's back disappeared completely at the end of the corridor after speaking.
"..."
Raiden Ei looked at the crest in her hand. The patterns on it were extremely familiar, almost exactly the same as Luo Li's usage habits in her impression.
It was his handiwork.
Of course, Zhongli wouldn't deceive her either.
Ei gripped the key to the secret realm tightly, and her whole body turned into lightning and disappeared from the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor again.
The sudden thunder startled the shop assistants, who thought something in the courtyard had been struck by lightning, but when they came in to look, nothing had happened.. .
The courtyard was intact, and they were immediately puzzled.
And the master who caused others to be startled had already taken the opportunity to come to Guili Plains.
In the area covered with marshes and fertile water grass, occasionally seeing one or two egrets flying by, birds were everywhere, stretching their bodies lightly.
Looking at the destroyed primitive town in front of her, Raiden Ei felt quite nostalgic.
Once upon a time, Inazuma was like this, but compared to the stone-based Guili Plains, ancient Inazuma still used more wooden structures.
But as soon as she thought that this was a town built by him and another female Archon, her mood became unpleasant again.
But in a flash, seeing everything in front of her become empty, that sullen air dissipated again.
Repeating this, Ei quickly passed through the damaged Guili Plains and came to the bottom of the cliff at the end that Zhongli mentioned.
The road covered by the jungle was full of the smell of wild beasts, and only a narrow path that could only accommodate one person leading to the depths seemed to have been opened not long ago.
With a nervous heart, Ei followed the opened path and headed toward the depths.
According to Zhongli, the one who opened this road was most likely her sister, Raiden Makoto.
Thinking that she would soon meet her sister whom she hadn't seen for five hundred years, no one could resonate with the surging emotions in Ei's heart.
The silent and dead jungle even caused the insects to retreat, seemingly startled by the arrival of the noble person.
Only the crisp sound of Raiden Ei's purple high heels stepping on the stones echoed.
However, the frequency of the sound slowed down as she got closer to the depths.
But no matter how long the path was, there would be an end to it at some point.
Maybe it was a quarter of an hour, maybe it was half an hour. When Raiden Ei stood before the entrance of the secret realm that had been worn down by time, her thoughts suddenly became chaotic.
"Sister..."
Crossing this portal, she would be able to see one of the two people she had been thinking about day and night.
Gripping the token in her hand, Raiden Ei slowly exhaled, removing all distracting thoughts.
Immediately, she no longer held any hesitation, her slender legs wrapped in purple long stockings moved, and she stepped into the secret realm portal that was gradually emitting light.
