Chapter 704 Swallow 'Blue Inkstone'
At this time, a Thousand Rocks soldier was reporting to Keqing about the Fontainebleau flood.
"Lady Keqing, according to observation, the flood in Fontaine has ended. The water gushing out of Fontaine did not affect..."
Keqing made a serious mistake due to her last wrong decision, so she asked cautiously, "Are you sure the flood didn't have any impact on Yilongbu?"
The Qianyan soldier who came to report on his work nodded and said in a firm tone: "No, there is no impact at all."
Then, the Qianyan soldier said with difficulty: "However, our blockade order has caused some negative problems in the lives of residents."
After hearing this, Keqing touched her chin thoughtfully, pondering something.
After a while, Keqing made a decision after careful consideration.
She ordered decisively: "Since the flood problem in Fontaine has been resolved and has not affected Yilong Port, then immediately issue a notice to lift the ban, resume normal transportation, and return everything to its original state!"
The Qianyan Army, who received the order, immediately performed a standard Qianyan Army salute and answered loudly: "Yes!"
Then he turned and left to carry out Keqing's orders.
Just when this Qianyan soldier went to notify the lifting of martial law, Paimon suddenly flew over from a distance.
“Keqing! Keqing! Long time no see!”
Keqing couldn't help but shudder when she heard this familiar voice.
She turned her head in confusion and looked at Paimeng who was flying towards her, and Shao Yun and his group behind her, her eyes almost popping out of her head in surprise.
"Paimon? You...when did you come back?"
Keqing never expected to meet Paimon, Shao Yun and others here.
Upon seeing this, Xianyun quickly stepped forward and answered Keqing's question on behalf of Shao Yun and the others: "Shao Yun and the others just returned to Liyue two days ago. It's normal that you don't know about Yuheng Star."
There was a sense of distance in Xianyun's words and actions.
Seeing that the transformed Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun was also there, Keqing immediately restrained her emotions, showing a shy smile on her face, and said softly: "Liuyun Immortal Family, I am honored."
Xianyun looked at Keqing with a haughty expression and said calmly, "No need to be polite, we are just here to hang out in Yilongbu. Yuhengxing, just do whatever you need to do."
When Keqing heard this, she immediately understood that Xianyun was ordering them to leave.
If it were in the past, she might have really turned around and left as Xianyun wished.
However, she has always remembered that Shao Yun helped her through the crisis, and she has not had the chance to thank him properly.
So, Keqing hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to say, "If you want to hang out, I can take you around."
When Xianyun heard this, his face instantly turned gloomy and his tone became extremely cold.
"No need, Yuhengxing, you probably still have official business to attend to."
Seeing this, Keqing felt helpless.
She knew that the Liuyun Immortal Family was somewhat dissatisfied with her, but she really didn't want to miss this opportunity to thank Shao Yun.
However, facing Xianyun's obvious refusal, she could not force him any further and could only retreat and say, "Is that so? Okay then."
Seeing Keqing's disappointed look, Paimeng, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but speak up for her.
"I think it would be fine if Keqing could take us around without affecting her work... After all, we finally came to Liyue, so we should catch up with old friends."
Keqing immediately seized the opportunity and said, "Don't waste any time. It's just right. I can show you around while I'm on patrol."
……
With the step given by Paimeng, Keqing also joined Shao Yun and his group.
Everyone continued to enjoy their leisure time on the streets of Yilongbu.
As they walked, they unknowingly arrived at the door of Jianxia Escort Agency.
At this time, Jiaming was putting a box of "dolls" on a wheelbarrow, preparing to move another box.
Just as he turned around, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a tall figure not far away.
Jiaming looked closely and found that the figure looked familiar.
He narrowed his eyes, looked at him carefully, and finally recognized that the person was Shao Yun.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Shao Yun? Am I seeing things?" Jiaming shouted excitedly, with a hint of surprise in his voice.
Shao Yun had not noticed Jiaming at first, as he was chatting and laughing with his companions. However, when he heard Jiaming's unique Chen Yugu accent, he turned around and looked curiously.
"You are, Jiaming, the bodyguard?" Shao Yun looked at Jiaming and recalled his previous encounter with him.
Jiaming was delighted to see Shao Yun still remember him. He scratched his head and said, "Wow, you still remember me. I thought you had forgotten me."
Shao Yun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, pointed at his eyes, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I'm very good at remembering faces."
Then, Shao Yun enthusiastically introduced the people around Jiaming.
"This is my wife, Ying. She is very gentle and a very good person."
……
(Kong: My sister is gentle?)
……
Then, he turned to Paimon and introduced her, "This is Paimon. Although she is not my biological daughter, she is like my biological daughter."
Then, Shao Yun introduced Shen He and Miss Xian Yun.
"This is Shen He, she is a very powerful person, and this is Miss Xian Yun, she is my friend, right?"
Seeing this, Jiaming quickly clasped his hands together, bowed, and said, "Hello, hello, my name is Jiaming, and I'm very happy to meet you all. It's a pleasure to meet you all."
Ying and his group also responded to Jiaming with a smile.
"Nice to meet you."
After a round of greetings, Shao Yun's eyes fell on Jiaming's unicycle and asked curiously: "By the way, Jiaming, what are you doing?"
Seeing that Shao Yun noticed the goods he was carrying, Jiaming smiled and explained, "Oh, I'm helping to carry some goods."
At this time, Paimon came forward and looked at the goods curiously.
"Let me see, what is this? A doll made of 'grass'? And some of these are made of rattan?"
Jiaming nodded and confirmed: "Yes, some of these are rattan figures made by Master Lan for sale, and the rest are raw materials."
Hearing the name "Master Lan", Paimon's curiosity was aroused.
"Master Lan? Who is that?"
Jiaming enthusiastically told Paimeng the origin of Master Lan.
"Lan Yan, Master Lan, he is a core member of the Chenyugu Handicraft Union!"
Then, Jiaming further described: "Although she is young, her skills in rattan weaving are quite superb. She has at least ten years of experience!"
At this point, Jiaming suddenly remembered an embarrassing incident from his childhood and couldn't help laughing.
"When I was a child, I was very naughty. One time, I accidentally stepped on a wicker basket at home and broke it. I was so worried at that time, afraid that my parents would scold me."
"However, luckily, Tian Lanyan happened to come to my house with her grandfather to check Feng Shui. When she saw me in trouble, she helped me fix the rattan basket without saying a word!"
"I really have to thank her very much, otherwise I would have been 'braised pork with rattan sticks' again, haha!"
After listening to Jiaming's story, Paimeng became very interested in Master Lan.
She pointed to the goods in the wheelbarrow and asked curiously, "So, these are all going to be sent to Master Lan's stall?"
Jiaming gave a thumbs up without hesitation and answered affirmatively: "Yes! These are all for Master Lan."
"Master Lan doesn't usually set up a stall, but it's always a good thing to have the opportunity to buy something she made herself!"
Paimeng seemed very interested in Master Lan's stall. She asked a little embarrassedly, "Can we go and see Master Lan's stall?"
Jiaming nodded without thinking and said with a smile: "No problem!"
……
When Jiaming pushed his wheelbarrow to a stall in Yilongbu, he shouted to a girl in the stall, "Master Lan, I've delivered all the things to you!"
The shout reached the girl's ears directly. Upon hearing the sound, the girl turned around like a light swallow.
She had long, shiny black hair, with a few strands of it dyed a fresh green, like young buds just blooming in spring.
Her eyes have a unique purple-green gradient, which is very lively.
The girl was wearing a green-based Chen Yugu-style dress.
She wore a silver ring on her hand, which flickered with a faint light, and the silver "Silver Feather Jade Black Bird" ornament on her head made her look more lively and playful.
This girl is Lan Yan.
She smiled, with a sweet arc on the corner of her mouth, and responded softly: "Thank you, Jiaming."
At this time, Paimon was attracted by the rattan products on the counter.
Her eyes were fixed on the exquisite handicrafts, and finally, her sight fell on the rattan figurine on the shelf.
"Wow! This is Fujito! He looks so cute, I really want to buy him home!"
Lan Yan noticed Paimeng's reaction and asked gently, "My dear customer, do you want to buy one? Which one do you like? The rattan figurines here are all top quality."
Shao Yun, who was standing by, saw that Paimon liked these rattan dolls so much, so he picked up a rattan doll, looked at it carefully, and then nodded.
"Well, it does look nice. If you like it, Paimon, how much is this one?"
Lan Yan made a "six" gesture with his hand and said, "The prices of these rattan figures on display are very affordable. One is only 60,000 Mora, but if you want to customize it, the price will be a bit more expensive."
Although 60,000 Mora sounds scary at first, who is Lan Yan? He is a rattan weaving master. 60,000 Mora is really not expensive!
When Shao Yun heard that there were better custom-made rattan figures, he said, "Let's get a custom one. We want three of them: me, Ying, and my most adorable 'daughter', Paimon."
When Paimeng heard Shao Yun call her "daughter", although he was prepared, he still complained: "Well, a question suddenly occurred to me. When did I change from the best guide in Teyvat to your child..."
However, Paimeng was used to Shao Yun talking too much. Besides, he still had to pay for the vine man. He might as well let it go, as he was being taken advantage of.
When Lan Yan heard that Shao Yun wanted three custom-made rattan figures, he nodded and agreed, "Three custom-made rattan figures? Okay, no problem. Who's going first?"
Shao Yun looked at Ying, touched her head, and said, "Ying, you come first."
Ying nodded and agreed: "Okay."
……
Keqing stood aside, her eyes fixed on Shao Yun and Ying. She felt very envious when she saw their intimate interaction.
However, she soon realized how ridiculous and unrealistic this feeling was.
Where did this inexplicable unrequited love for Shao Yun come from?
It was obviously impossible for Shao Yun to have the same feelings towards him. After all, there was not much in common between the two of them.
Perhaps it was just because Shao Yun had once helped her through difficult times that she had some illusions.
Keqing kept reminding herself in her heart that she couldn't continue to be so self-indulgent.
She couldn't fall into unwarranted fantasies just because of a little kindness from others. That was too childish.
Just as Keqing was reflecting on herself in her mind, she suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Yuheng Star..."
