Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

"Set my matters aside for now, let's look at her problem first."

Xuan Ge raised his hand to stop him, then tilted his chin toward Ying's direction.

Xue Yue Zhu Yang frowned, that commanding tone again — he really is Xuan Ge.

But he couldn't act rashly; if Xuan Ge fled to Mondstadt or Inazuma and hid, he'd probably be hammered to death by Xianyun.

Then Xue Yue Zhu Yang habitually glanced at Ying's figure first....

Damn Shen Wei!

He cursed inwardly; he really didn't mean to size her up on purpose.

It's all the terrible influence brought by that scum Shen Wei, letting him unknowingly catch this bad habit too.

But he's already looked, anyway this blond girl can't threaten Ting Yun.

So he'll accept this plea-for-immortal favor and see what it's all about.

Ying didn't mind that gaze, instead producing a talisman paper: "You take a look at this."

"Hundred Taboos-Free Talisman...."

Xue Yue Zhu Yang nodded, then introduced himself: "I am the Three-Eyed Five-Manifest Immortal, Xue Yue Zhu Yang Zhenjun. Girl, speak your purpose."

"Ying wants to find her brother, so she wants to seek a god's help."

Paimon began narrating to Xue Yue Zhu Yang how they came from Mondstadt, then thought to go to Liyue to ask the Geo Archon.

Then she told in full detail about the Rite of Descension's God of the Land being murdered and them being framed.

After listening, Xue Yue Zhu Yang immediately turned to look at Xuan Ge: "You're still not satisfied?"

"Can you stop pretending?" Xuan Ge spoke speechlessly; this Xue Yue Zhu Yang is clearly acting.

Which family's god would fall from the sky and just drop dead with a crack?

If Morax really died at the Rite of Descension, then Liyue Harbor — even all of Liyue — would've long since undergone petrification; us immortals couldn't possibly not know.

Xue Yue Zhu Yang knew his little scheme was completely seen through, so he simply stopped pretending.

"Shen Wei, you betray the trust the Emperor placed in you."

This line from Xue Yue Zhu Yang made Ying and Paimon both subconsciously step back.

Neither expected that this modest gentleman before them was actually that Shen Wei General who pierced through six nations and conveniently slaughtered monsters.

"Then you tell me, how did I betray that trust?"

Xuan Ge completely ignored Ying and Paimon's reaction, instead quite enjoying Xue Yue Zhu Yang's proactive hook-taking.

Actually when he first came over, he could've completely used karma to flip Teyvat upside down.

From Teyvat's birth, even to when it would completely blow up, he could know clearly.

But he can't do that.

First is power; here there's no Path blessing him, he only has stored power.

Once exhausted, he loses the means to leave, and would truly be stuck here forever.

Though stored power could also blow up a few star systems in Teyvat or even the World Beyond, there's simply no need.

Second, he came here to investigate his own karma, not to show off power.

Otherwise if it attracted Jin Guang, he'd really be dead.

"Ya Jiao was personally crafted by the Emperor, personally embellished by Xianyun, yet you used these two things to wound the Emperor. Just this point — isn't it enough?"

Xuan Ge shook his head slightly: "Not enough."

Still this shameless.

Xue Yue Zhu Yang cursed inwardly again; this bastard is definitely Xuan Ge!

Anyone else hearing this would be more or less confused, or try to explain.

But Xuan Ge doesn't care.

In his words: Does Xuan Ge need you to teach me how to do things?

But curses aside, Xue Yue Zhu Yang has no way to deal with Xuan Ge.

He can't bring up those eight thousand soldiers who still refuse to return from the Qiu Ge Zhi Di.

"Xue Yue, what do you call me for?"

A red-brown immortal crane flew over from the clouds; the moment it landed, it froze just like Xue Yue Zhu Yang did moments ago.

Li Shui Die Shan Zhen Jun stared at Xuan Ge, blurting out: "Dead soul?"

"Not right...."

Li Shui immediately negated his own answer, then carefully sensed again, voice full of disbelief.

"For real? How can you possibly still be alive?"

Back in that Divine War, us immortals didn't even have qualifications to participate, let alone observe.

The Emperor returned wounded, not mentioning a word about Xuan Ge's death.

But if the Emperor doesn't speak, someone always will.

A hundred years later, the Inazuma Raiden Shogun came to Xianyun's place, just to snatch back the Shen Wei Relic Ya Jiao Spear.

During the struggle, the Emperor once stepped in to try to stop it, but women's matters, and over the same man at that — the Emperor couldn't well interfere.

So the two made an exchange.

Xianyun traded her Ya Jiao for the Divine Might Armor in Lei Dianying's hands, and only then learned from Ying's mouth what exactly had happened to Xuan Ge back then.

Shen Wei fell to his death in Qiu Ge Zhi Di, did not enter the earth's veins, soul scattering completely.

And those eight thousand Shen Wu troops as well as the Dharma Protector Yaksha Fu She, willingly guarded Shen Wei's tomb, never to leave for all eternity.

So Xuan Ge died extremely thoroughly.

Thorough enough that looking across Teyvat's thousands of years of history, Shen Wei's death was unique — no one could ever die more completely than him.

"Genuine article, I'm still alive and kicking right here."

Xuan Ge laughed and pointed at himself; looks like this Xue Yue Zhu Yang really couldn't sit still, calling for help this quickly.

If he could, he'd really like to go meet that woman called Xianyun.

For some reason, he always had a feeling.

Xianyun would definitely mutter and spill everything, unlike these two before him, and those two gods in Liyue Harbor, each more dilly-dallying than the last.

Although Li Shui Die Shan Zhen Jun completely couldn't understand how Xuan Ge had resurrected, this aura, this appearance, and this bearing — not a single one failed to indicate...

This is Xuan Ge.

So, he decided to make one final test.

"Do you have a particularly deep obsession with massive things?"

"Heh." Xuan Ge laughed speechlessly, "You... uh, bird, are surprisingly cultured."

Xue Yue explained on behalf of his friend: "No need to test further, he already admitted it himself — especially likes big ones, and fishing is Shen Xian, the kind where he casts ten rods and gets skunked on all ten."

"... You deer." Xuan Ge gritted his teeth, "I'm suddenly starting to dislike you."

Hearing this explanation, Li Shui's face first brightened with joy, then followed by a darkening expression.

"Hmph! You not only betrayed the Monarch's oath, but also let Xianyun down — you're simply a scumbag!"

"... I suddenly feel like General Shen Wei might not be that scary after all."

Paimon leaned into Ying's ear and muttered quietly.

Hearing these two immortals both cursing scumbag and mocking Shen Xian, Paimon for a moment couldn't tell whether she felt more sorry for his inability to catch fish, or more hatred for this scumbag.

Ying glanced at her listlessly, and didn't reply to Paimon.

She was pondering another question.

Back then she ran into Venti in Liyue Harbor, then heard Venti say this was his General.

Venti is the Anemo Archon, while Xuan Ge is the Great General Shen Wei under the Geo Archon's command, the one who oversaw all of Liyue's military affairs.

So the clues were already there.

Back then both the Anemo Archon and Shen Wei were present — was there still one person missing?

Mm, the answer was obvious.

Zhongli is the Geo Archon.

"Fine, since you all say I wronged Xianyun, I'll go find her right now."

Hearing 'scumbag' again and 'big ones', Xuan Ge truly had no counter.

Afraid before long Xing Xiao's signature 'trash' would pop out too.

Rather than engage in ineffective communication with this group of riddle-speaking immortals, better to directly find Xianyun and ask clearly.

Li Shui and Xue Yue exchanged a glance, then Li Shui spoke first: "Before you go, you must promise me one thing."

"I have no such obligation." Xuan Ge turned, then looked at Ying, "Are you coming with me?"

Ying hesitated a moment, just about to speak, when Xue Yue immediately interjected: "Xianyun is huge."

"His steps stopped!" Paimon saw Xuan Ge halt his footsteps the instant he heard the words 'big one'.

Now she was even more curious — what exactly was this 'big one'.

"Heh." Seeing Xuan Ge actually stop, Xue Yue didn't mock him — after all, Xuan Ge's obsession with big ones ran too deep.

"You've already forgotten the previous memories, but that doesn't matter. What I just said is a trivial matter to you, but to Xianyun it's extremely important."

"Speak plainly, immortal bird." Xuan Ge turned to look at Li Shui Die Shan Zhen Jun.

"Hmph." Hearing this familiar address, Li Shui pouted, then spoke solemnly.

"If she wants to drape the Divine Might Armor on you, please don't refuse."

Xue Yue Zhu Yang froze a moment, then looked at his friend and nodded.

Still, you've got a way.

Now Xianyun will surpass Mondstadt's Harbinger and Inazuma's Raiden Shogun.
