Chapter 259: Past Events (End)
"But you are right about one thing. I do worship the Emperor as my father. After all, you are General Thunder and Lightning, a god of the same level as him. As the most powerful immortal under him, I do need to report such a big thing. So I have to trouble you to wait for a moment, just a moment!"
......
"Hmm..." Looking at Chen Yue in front of him, Zhongli's expression was not very good.
How should I put it? It feels like the employees under my command have seduced the boss of the partner. From being superiors and subordinates, they have suddenly become equals.
"Ahahaha, Emperor, you should not have forgotten what you said. Besides, isn't it true that free love is important nowadays? There is no rule that gods cannot find partners!"
"Do you know what you are doing?" Zhongli's voice was low and serious, with some indescribable complex emotions.
"Of course I know, but it doesn't seem to affect anything."
"Hmph, you are quite open-minded." Zhongli snorted, frowning, as if he was lost in deep thought.
As the patron saint of Liyue, he has a clear understanding of the responsibilities and obligations of a god. However, facing Chenyue and Zhen, a pair of gods who are about to become husband and wife, the balance in his heart begins to waver.
"Well, since you have made up your mind, I naturally won't interfere." Zhongli finally sighed, with a helpless expression on his face.
The relationship between Chen Yue and Zhen did not develop overnight, but rather took a long time to develop. As the god of Liyue, he naturally hopes that Liyue can coexist peacefully with other countries. Chen Yue's actions can also deepen the exchanges between the two countries.
"Whether as the God of Precious Gold or your superior, I cannot interfere in this matter, so you can handle it yourself."
Although Zhongli's words were brief, the deep meaning in them warmed Chen Yue's heart. Although Zhongli looked serious on the surface, he was actually very relaxed towards Chen Yue.
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty." Chen Yue bowed deeply, his heart full of gratitude.
"However, I still want to remind you. You can appear in public in any identity in Inazuma, but you cannot be the Liyue Immortal or the Head of Mondstadt, or you cannot reveal your identity publicly. In short, you cannot reveal your other identities to Inazuma." Zhongli changed the subject, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
"Of course, of course, I will still do the secret work." Chen Yue naturally understood Zhongli's intention, but hiding his identity was still very simple for him.
Zhongli nodded. At this point he had nothing more to say.
Zhongli turned around and looked at the bustling streets of Liyue, but an indescribable emotion surged in his heart. Liyue's prosperity is not only about the beauty of its architecture and its strong economy, but also about the harmonious coexistence of its people and its friendly exchanges with other countries. The combination of Chenyue and Zhen will undoubtedly add a touch of color to this beautiful picture.
“Chen Yue, I hope you can remember that no matter where you go, you are a part of Liyue. Every decision you make must be based on the interests of Liyue.” Zhongli spoke slowly, his tone full of instructions.
Chen Yue nodded, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Don't worry, my Lord. I will never forget where my roots are."
Zhongli nodded, a smile flashing across his face. Perhaps he was overthinking it. Chen Yue's decision this time would not only bring good luck to Liyue, but also make the exchanges between the two countries more frequent.
"When do you plan to leave?" Zhongli turned around and asked Chen Yue.
"I'm not sure. Let's see what Zhen says. They should leave after the Lantern Festival. After all, the gods of Inazuma can't stay in Liyue forever."
Zhongli nodded to show his understanding. Although he was a little disgusted with Chen Yue, he still cherished this talent very much.
"This is for you, just consider it as a gift."
After inserting the Piercing Rainbow Spear in front of Chen Yue, Zhongli showed a rare gentle expression. He gently stroked the spear, as if recalling the past years of fighting.
"This... This is your weapon to suppress Osel!" Chen Yue looked at the spear in front of him in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief. "Are you sure you want to give this thing to me?"
"No need to say more. Since I gave it to you, it's yours." Zhongli waved his hand, indicating that Chen Yue didn't need to refuse.
“The Rainbow Spear is a weapon I often use in battles. It has witnessed countless of my battles and carries my protective heart for Liyue. I hope that you can use it to protect everything you cherish in Inazuma.” Zhongli’s voice was calm and firm, with deep expectations.
"Besides, your martial arts skills are superior to mine. Perhaps this weapon can play a greater role in your hands."
Chen Yue was silent for a moment, then solemnly took the Guanhong Spear, feeling the coolness and heaviness of the spear. "But what would you do if I took it away?"
"Oh, it's fine with me." He waved his hand nonchalantly, then Zhongli took out from his back... the Green Rock Knot, the Unforged Sword, the Chains of the World, and a bow and arrow whose name he could not name.
Chen Yue stared at these weapons with wide eyes, secretly amazed. These are rare treasures in the world! Especially the mysterious bow and arrow, which has not appeared in the plot yet.
"That's really casual." Chen Yue complained helplessly in his heart. He seemed to have forgotten that Zhongli was the God of War. How could a God who was proficient in all kinds of martial arts only know one weapon? However, this was also good, after all, he had more choices.
A complex emotion surged in Chen Yue's heart. He was happy to get such a precious weapon, but he was also confused about Zhongli's attitude towards him.
"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty." Chen Yue said gratefully, and held the Guanhong Spear tightly in his hand, feeling the heavy sense of responsibility.
"Okay, go do what you should do." Zhongli waved his hand, indicating that Chen Yue could leave.
Chen Yue nodded and turned to leave. However, just as he was about to disappear, Zhongli's voice sounded again: "Remember your mission. No matter where you go, don't forget your original purpose."
Chen Yue's body was shocked and he stopped. He knew that this sentence was not just a reminder, but also an expectation and trust. He turned around, looked at Zhongli deeply, and then nodded solemnly, indicating that he would keep it in mind.
As a breeze blew by, Chen Yue's figure gradually disappeared into the air. Zhongli stood there quietly, looking into the distance, as if thinking about something.
"In the end...you..."
