Mt. Aocang.
"Rex Lapis."
Watching Rex Lapis sitting in his chair, slowly sipping tea, Cloud Retainer, who had been pacing back and forth, couldn't help but speak up.
"What is it, Cloud Retainer?"
Setting down his teacup, Zhongli looked with some confusion at Cloud Retainer, who had stopped pacing and approached him. He didn't understand why Cloud Retainer seemed so agitated at this moment.
"Rex Lapis." Looking at the completely unhurried Rex Lapis, Cloud Retainer couldn't help but say: "To Liyue, you have now passed away. Aren't you afraid that some chaos might break out?"
Although it had been a long time since she had involved herself in the affairs of the mortal realm, Cloud Retainer still held affection for Liyue. She didn't want to see it fall into chaos.
In any case, Rex Lapis was now publicly deceased. It was possible some schemer might try to take this opportunity to destabilize Liyue.
That was why she was so eager to go and see the situation for herself, but Rex Lapis was just sitting there leisurely drinking tea, as if nothing had happened at all.
"Chaos? With the Qixing present, I doubt it will come to that."
Hearing that Cloud Retainer was worried about this, Zhongli pointed out that the Qixing were still there.
"The Qixing? Hmph, just them? I imagine they're already in a state of chaos themselves right now."
Cloud Retainer was very dismissive of Rex Lapis's mention of the Qixing. She felt that these mortals could not bear the heavy responsibility left behind after his departure.
"Let's wait a little longer. If they are truly as you say, then I will take charge of Liyue once more."
After speaking, Zhongli went back to drinking his tea.
He was currently testing whether a Liyue without him could walk on its own. If it couldn't, then He, the Geo Archon, would have no choice but to be 'resurrected'.
"Indeed, Cloud Retainer. You shouldn't be so anxious. Rex Lapis has his own plans."
At this moment, Moon Carver, who was standing to the side, advised Cloud Retainer not to be hasty.
After all, Rex Lapis had his own plans; they just needed to follow them.
"Very well."
Seeing that both Rex Lapis and Moon Carver had said so, Cloud Retainer had no choice but to abandon the idea of going to Liyue to investigate for now.
But if the wait was too long, she would still go and see what was happening.
"By the way, Rex Lapis, that girl…"
"Were you talking about me?"
Before Cloud Retainer could finish speaking, a voice suddenly appeared from the side, interrupting her.
"Who's there?"
Not expecting someone to be able to approach her so silently, Cloud Retainer immediately shouted in the direction the voice came from.
But soon, Cloud Retainer realized the voice sounded somewhat familiar.
It's that girl?!
After a moment's thought, Cloud Retainer remembered, and indeed, the girl's figure appeared in her line of sight.
"Sigh, do you really like drinking tea this much, Zhongli?"
Sitting down unceremoniously in the chair opposite Zhongli, Kiana asked the question she had always wanted to ask.
She had noticed that almost every time she saw Zhongli, he was drinking tea, which made her wonder just how much he loved it.
Then, as if remembering something, she turned her head to look at Cloud Retainer and said:
"By the way, were you about to ask about my identity?"
Because Zhongli had previously indicated that he had always described her as someone 'from that place,' she planned to directly reveal her identity this time.
She believed that with Zhongli present, these adepti would surely believe in her identity, giving her the chance to complete her system quest.
