Paimon spread his hands, the confusion on his face became even more intense.

"Who is Mr. Bai Shu?"

"Why do I feel like if I continue to explore this, there will be a lot of unknown people there."

Listening to Paimon's complaints, Xiang Wan chuckled and explained, "He is Qiqi's real caregiver."

"When you go to Liyue, you should meet Mr. Bai Zhu, and you may even ask for Mr. Bai Zhu's help."

Paimon looked at Ying. They had originally been heading to Liyue, but they encountered many unexpected things along the way, which was why they were delayed. Meeting Xiang Wan today was also a complete coincidence.

At this point, Xiang Wanjian successfully changed the topic and continued: "If I didn't bring Qiqi with me for this experience, my man would not agree."

"However, it still surprises me that Mr. Bai Shu can so easily agree to Qi Qi to go out with me for training."

Paimon turned to look inside the room, and then looked down at her white and tender hands. During this period, she had the most contact time with Qi Qi, so she could feel that Qi Qi's little body must contain a lot of energy.

A powerful force.

"Then according to what you said, Qiqi has been protecting you all the way."

Xiang Wan nodded, and her eyes became a little gentler when she looked into the room. Along the way, Qiqi fulfilled her vow to protect him.

"I said when we first met, Qiqisheng is very strong despite her petite appearance. At least for now, she is the strongest little girl I have ever met."

Paimon chuckled, she crossed her arms, raised her head high and looked triumphant, she stretched out a finger and said: "We have met a little girl!"

"She is definitely better than Qiqi."

Ying stroked her forehead and shook her head gently, thinking that Paimon would become more serious about unprovoked things again.

"Her bomb can blow up the entire city of Mondstadt."

Seeing Paimon's interest, Xiang Wan echoed, "Is it really that exaggerated?"

“No exaggeration at all!”

"Although I haven't seen Qiqi in battle, I am sure that Keli is definitely better than Qiqi!"

Xiang Wan looked at Ying, and Ying noticed Xiang Wan's gaze and smiled softly.

This moment reminded Ying of the way she and Paimon argued endlessly about who was stronger, Diluc or Captain Qin. Now that she thinks about it, it was already a few months ago.

Ying put away her memories, turned her head to look at Paimon in the sky and said softly: "Paimon, go to the house and look after Qiqi. Remember to come out and tell us when she wakes up."

"Then you..."

Paimon looked at Ying and then at Xiang Wan, she nodded and flew into the house.

Seeing Paimon enter the room, Xiang Wan slowly withdrew his gaze and looked calmly into Ying's eyes.

Ying asked: "How much do you know about the Abyss Cult?"

Rubbing his chin with his big hand, Xiang Wan thought for a while. Judging from his current memory, he didn't know a lot, but vaguely, he felt like he knew a lot, but those memory fragments were too subtle and unrelated.

It cannot be used as a reference.

"I don't know, but I should know more than you do."

Ying looked at Xiang Wan quietly. She took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. Her expression became focused and serious. After making sure that she was mentally prepared, she nodded towards Xiang Wan.

"Say it."

"The Abyss Cult is a group of inhuman monsters that are enemies of civilization on the surface and are active all over the world. Driven by the Abyss, they covet all creatures on the earth and dream of subverting the rule of the gods."

"The abyss... is chaos and destruction. It is an unpredictable and crazy chaos that erodes the foundation of this world. The power of the abyss is very powerful. Even the Dragon of the East Wind, a member of the Wind God, cannot resist the erosion of the power of the abyss."

Hearing what Xiang Wan mentioned, Ying's eyes flashed slightly. Under the moonlight, the light waves flowing in his eyes were particularly fascinating.

These are the most basic descriptions of the Abyss Order, but no one knows why they do this.

Talking eloquently to Wan.

"And the monsters in the abyss have no other desire but to subvert the world under the rule of gods..."

"The actual identity is the remnant of the destroyed country Kanrea. Five hundred years ago, Kanrea, the pride of mankind, was destroyed by the gods, and the survivors of Kanrea also became abyss mages."

"The Abyss Cult and the Fools within humanity are the two most powerful groups on the surface of Teyvat..."

Xiang Wan paused for a while, thinking about his words.

"'Villain Force'."

Hearing Xiang Wan's last words, Ying looked at Xiang Wan in shock. Xiang Wan touched his cheek and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"

Ying looked at Xiang Wan. Suddenly, there was a delicate little sword in her hand. Looking at Ying who instantly became alert, Xiang Wan was not surprised. After all, there was indeed a trace of it in his tone when he said the last words.

special meaning.

Ying held a dagger in his hand and said coldly: "Are you my enemy?"

"What...are you...doing...?"

Not far away, a faint voice came, and Xiang Wan and Ying looked over at the same time.

There, Qi Qi's petite figure stood quietly. In the air behind her, Paimon opened his eyes wide and covered his mouth, obviously frightened by the situation at this moment.

The two of them were obviously fine before going in, but why did they look so tense just now?

"Fighting is not good..."

Xiang Wan smiled softly. He came to Qi Qi and hugged Qi Qi into his arms. He raised his hand and placed it on her forehead. He felt the change in temperature. After confirming that it was no different from usual, Xiang Wan asked softly.

: "How do you feel?"

"Are you hungry?"

Qiqi shook her head, holding Xiang Wan's cheek with her small hands, her pretty face was full of seriousness, as if she wanted to see something from Xiang Wan's face, but in Xiang Wan's eyes, nothing but cuteness was cute.

Xiang Wan raised her hand and touched Qiqi's head.

"What's the matter?"

"I... really can't see anything."

"Now that we're awake, let's do calisthenics."

"Okay~"

Paimon slowly flew to Ying's side. The two of them looked at Xiang Wan and Qiqi who were doing gymnastics in the open space. Paimon looked away, then looked at Ying worriedly. After noticing Paimon's gaze, Ying raised her hand and asked Paimon.

He flicked his forehead lightly.

snap——

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Paimeng covered her forehead with her little hand and looked at Xiang Wan, who was interacting gently with Qi Qi not far away. She really couldn't figure out what Xiang Wan said to make Ying show hostility.

...

...

At night, Xiang Wan sat on the rocks on the top of the mountain, holding up his cheeks and looking at the bright moon in the sky. He blinked and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Wutao...how are you doing..."

Click——

There was a sound of branches snapping behind him, and Xiang Wan heard it, but he didn't look back because he knew the person coming was Ying.

Ying carefully came to Xiang Wan's side, she raised her eyes to look at the starry sky, the lines on her face gradually became gentle, and the twinkling light in her eyes was the memory.

Xiang Wan looked at the moon and missed people, while Ying looked at the stars and recalled the past.

"Feel sorry."

An apology broke the calm, and Xiang Wan withdrew his gaze. The light flickered, and a wooden chair appeared. Xiang Wan motioned for Ying to sit down, but Ying did not refuse.

The scene was replaced by silence again.

"Now that you have made a guess, you should feel better when the real encounter comes."

Xiang Wan's voice wasn't loud, but it sounded particularly heavy to her ears.

Ying shook her head, opened her mouth slightly, and her slightly lonely voice echoed in Xiang Wan's ears.

"I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to accept."

"Maybe..."

The atmosphere instantly became a little depressing.

The light flickered, and Xiang Wan took out a pile of dried fruits. Many of them were things that Hu Tao liked but he didn't like. However, after leaving Hu Tao, Xiang Wan slowly started to like them.

Maybe it's because everything I've eaten in the past month has no taste, so even the sour plums are extra sweet.

"Eat?"

Yingyu's hand hung on the plate for a while, then she took a candied date and put it into her mouth.

The sweet feeling reminded her of her brother. This was how she felt when he was by her side, but the sweetness at the time had to be maintained by candied dates.

If it is true as guessed, how should she face her brother?
