Chapter 556 Liuyun Borrows the Wind from the True Monarch
For the three of them, it was really a strenuous task to climb to the top of the mountain, so they had no intention of going up at all. Kong looked at the steep and almost vertical mountain and shook his head helplessly. He knew very well that in their current state, it would be too physically demanding to force themselves to climb the mountain. Paimon also waved his hands repeatedly in the air, with a look of resistance on his face, "It's such a high mountain, it will be exhausting to climb it, let's not waste our energy." There was a hint of fear in Paimon's voice, she really didn't want to challenge this seemingly unconquerable mountain.
Xianyun stood on the top of the mountain and saw the hesitation of several people from afar. She soon understood the reason. Her keen insight was like a sharp eagle's eyes, which could easily see through the minds of several people. She flapped her wings slightly, and the snow-white feathers flashed soft light under the sunlight. Then she flew down a short distance lightly, and finally landed steadily on a huge rock about two meters above the ground. This rock was like a sleeping beast, lying quietly on the mountainside. The surface of the rock was smooth and flat, as if it had been carefully polished by years, and as if it had been carefully carved by skilled craftsmen. The surrounding moss added a bit of ancient atmosphere to the rock, as if telling the vicissitudes of time.
At this moment, she stood there quietly like a noble crane, with a graceful figure. Then she lowered her head slightly, looked at the people below, and asked. Her eyes were full of gentleness and concern, like the warm sunshine in spring, which could dispel the coldness in people's hearts. Her voice was clear and pleasant, like a clear spring flowing in the mountains, echoing in the silent forests, "I guess you have seen the child Shen He. I wonder if you get along well with each other?"
Hearing the question from Master Liuyunjiefeng, Paimeng was stunned for a moment, then reacted and answered quickly. Paimeng turned in the air, with an awkward smile on his face, "Well... it's okay..." Then he also showed an extremely calm expression, "Sure enough, Master Liuyunjiefeng also knows Shen He?"
After listening to Paimeng's words, Master Liuyun Jiefeng smiled with satisfaction and nodded gently, indicating his agreement with Paimeng. "Of course. In addition to Ganyu, who has lived in Liyue Harbor for many years and silently dedicated herself to the people of Liyue, all the existing immortals have indeed dealt with Shen He to some extent." Master Liuyun Jiefeng raised his head slightly and looked into the distance, as if recalling every bit of his acquaintance with Shen He. Those memories were like precious scrolls, slowly unfolding in her mind, and every picture was full of stories.
Hearing this, Paimeng's eyes suddenly lit up, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, and she said excitedly. Paimeng waved her hands excitedly in the air, "Wow! It's so surprising... So, what is Shen He's immortal name?" As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't wait to ask again. "Although we usually call her 'Shen He' affectionately, I always feel that this seems a little disrespectful and disrespectful. So, if we can know her immortal name and call her by it, wouldn't it be better?" Paimeng looked at Master Liuyunjiefeng expectantly, hoping to get a satisfactory answer.
However, what Paimeng didn't expect was that after hearing what she said, Master Liuyun Jiefeng actually stared at her suspiciously, his eyes full of confusion and doubt. Master Liuyun Jiefeng frowned slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and asked back: "Immortal name? Why does Shenhe have an immortal name?" Her eyes revealed a hint of confusion, as if she was very surprised by Paimeng's question.
Paimeng was stunned, full of questions. She originally thought that all immortals would have their own unique titles, but she didn't expect Shen He didn't have one. This was really beyond her expectations! At this moment, Paimeng's heart seemed to be scratched by a hundred naughty kittens, making her feel very curious and confused. Paimeng tilted her head and said blankly: "But shouldn't immortals have their own titles? Why is Shen He an exception?" Paimeng really couldn't understand. In her concept, immortals and immortal names are closely linked. Shen He's situation made her feel very puzzled.
After hearing this, Master Liuyunjiefeng showed a barely perceptible smile on his face, nodded gently and said, "But Shenhe is a human." As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderclap in everyone's ears. Paimeng responded subconsciously at first: "Oh, so that's how it is..." However, halfway through her words, she suddenly seemed to realize something, her eyes widened suddenly, and her mouth opened wide. It took a while for her to come back to her senses, and she let out a sharp cry: "Eh!!!" She was full of astonishment, looking at Master Liuyunjiefeng in disbelief, and asked stutteringly. "Is it a human? A human actually lifted a thousand-pound boulder... What, what, what is going on?!" Paimeng's voice was full of shock and confusion. The powerful strength displayed by Shenhe was too different from the conventional cognition of humans, making it difficult for it to accept for a while.
In sharp contrast to Paimon's panic, Kong only slightly raised his eyebrows after listening to the words of Master Liuyun Jiefeng, his expression as calm as water, as if he had expected this. Kong folded his arms and thought quietly. Although he noticed that Shen He was different from others during their interactions, he never delved into her life experience. He always felt that Shen He had a mysterious temperament, but he did not speculate too much about her identity. The same was true for Lin Feng on the side. He folded his arms across his chest and stared into the distance thoughtfully, without any surprise. Lin Feng actually had his own guesses in his heart, but he did not say them out loud. With his rich experience and keen perception, he had already made some vague inferences about Shen He's identity.
Seeing how calm and composed Kong and Lin Feng were, Paimeng couldn't help but feel a little angry. She stamped her feet, pouted her lips and complained, "Humph, why aren't you two surprised at all? Am I the only one who didn't guess it? This is so unfair!" As she said that, she glared at Kong and Lin Feng with dissatisfaction, looking aggrieved. "Hey, Traveler, Lin Feng, have you all guessed it? So I'm the only one who was kept in the dark?" Paimeng flew around in the air, muttering constantly, very dissatisfied with Kong and Lin Feng's calm performance.
