Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Chapter 218 I hate couples who are always hanging on and never get married!

After Gui Zhong suggested that Zhong Li might like her, Hui Yuan wasn't too surprised; instead, she remained quite calm.

Seeing Lingling's unexpected reaction, Gui Zhong said curiously, "Lingling, give me some reaction."

What kind of reaction should be given?

"It's...it's Zhongli's reaction to the fact that he might like me."

"What's so surprising about that...?"

"Eh...isn't this surprising? That's Zhongli, the stone man, whose heart is made of stone too."

Huiyuan shrugged, indicating that she was not surprised at all.

What's so surprising about that? The fact that you two aren't married yet is already ridiculous enough.

A secret love that spanned a thousand years, initially neither of them was aware of their feelings for each other.

After spending thousands of years together, the God of Dust gradually fell in love with the God of Rock, and realized that he loved him.

It wasn't until after the other person's death that the Rock God slowly realized that Gui Jiu actually loved him, and he gradually felt the emotions in his heart that were covered by rocks.

After Gui Zhong's resurrection, her first reunion with Zhong Li was to present him with a dance called "Love".

What an awful couple! They should start dating right now!

After Huiyuan and Guizhong finished their private conversation, they continued listening to Zhongli's explanation of science.

"What remains before us today is only the tip of the iceberg. The number and size of the rock spears that the Emperor threw back then far exceeded this. However, due to their different angles and the enormous size of the pillars, many of them sank to the bottom of the sea due to seawater erosion or gravity. Therefore, in addition to the later weathering, the initial collapse was also one of the important causes of the collapse of Lonely Cloud Pavilion."

"Then... a demon god who can contend with such exaggerated power must be very strong."

Upon hearing this, Clement couldn't contain his excitement and pressed for more information.

Zhongli nodded in agreement.

"Yes, that's the research value of Lonely Cloud Pavilion. Most artifacts related to that period of history are submerged in the deep sea, but the 'Whirlpool Demon God' stirred up towering waves, giving these things a chance to see the light of day again."

"In other words, if you search carefully, you're sure to make a fortune..."

Upon hearing Clement's words, Huiyuan frowned and looked at him.

Feeling the gaze from Lingling, who appeared to be a soft and cute girl but was actually highly skilled in martial arts and wielded immense power, Clement chuckled and scratched his head.

"Ah...ah, I mean, it's sure to be very fruitful, right? Haha...that puts my mind at ease."

While saying this on the surface, Clement was secretly making plans.

"(Tsk... She claims to be a junior general, yet her aura is so strong. She's definitely not an ordinary junior officer. Oh no... I need to find an excuse to get her out of here... I've got it!)"

Clement looked away from Huiyuan and turned to Zhongli, suggesting, "Since we've brought so many people, I think splitting up to search will be more efficient."

Although Zhongli knew what the other party was planning, she didn't take it too seriously and agreed to the proposal.

"Well then, I'll go with my friend. Although I have some knowledge of miscellaneous subjects, I won't presume to teach a professional archaeologist."

When the term "professional archaeologist" was mentioned, Zhong Li looked to the side.

Following Zhongli's gaze, everyone's eyes fell on Wanyan.

Several seconds later, Wanyan belatedly realized that Zhongli was talking about her.

Wan Yan pointed uncertainly to herself and asked worriedly, "Huh? Me? Me?"

"What's wrong? This isn't your job, is it really necessary to be so surprised?"

Seeing Wan Yan suddenly panic, Clement asked in confusion.

Faced with Clement's questioning, Wan Yan couldn't care less and agreed.

"I understand... Then, I'll lead the way for him."

Seeing this, Zhongli nodded slightly and said, "Well, if we collect anything precious or rare, let me think... let's meet up on the other side."

After Zhongli finished speaking, Clement and Wanyan left in one direction.

“Then let’s split up. Me and the Traveler, Miss Lingling and Guizhong.”

Just as Zhongli was about to leave after proposing this team pairing, Huiyuan quickly grabbed his wrist.

Isn't this harmful? If Huiyuan and Ying are separated, she might lose her mind!

I can't even imagine what Gui Zhong would do after losing his mind.

"No... I'll team up with Yingmei, and you, Zhongli, will team up with Guizhong."

Zhongli tilted his head, somewhat puzzled.

Logically, Zhongli should be leading the travelers here, making it easier for them to find the treasure. Why are they grouped like this?

Seeing Zhongli's questioning look, Huiyuan returned a determined look.

Seeing this, Zhongli didn't say anything more.

(Logically speaking, Gui Zhong and I know more about this place, so it would be more efficient to assign an expert to each group. Why does Lingling insist on going with the travelers? Hmm... is there some deeper meaning behind it?)

Thinking this through, Zhongli looked at Huiyuan's incredibly determined eyes, and at Guizhong and Ying's unanimous vote of approval, and reluctantly agreed.

“Alright then, Gui Zhong and I will go this way. Traveler, Miss Lingling, you two go over there.”

Having achieved the result she wanted, Huiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

That's more like it. Zhongli and Guizhong should be in one group: "Neither here nor there, never to get married," while Huiyuan and Ying should be in the other: "Can't help but separate." That's a more reasonable combination.

After the team formation plan was finalized, Gui Zhong grinned and couldn't help but be happy. Then he grabbed Zhong Li's hand and left.

I wonder if Oser, who is trapped under the Guyun Pavilion, would be overjoyed to see Zhongli and Guizhong showing their affection like this?

After Zhongli Gui and the other left, Huiyuan turned to Ying and said, "Since the last battle in Ausel, the Jade Pavilion has been involved in this sea area. Logically speaking, we should be able to find some treasures. Let's try using elemental vision to see what we can find."

Following the beach forward, we soon discovered a Hilichurl camp.

It seems that because of a recent tsunami, this camp does not have the typical Hilichurl cabins.

There were some damaged fishing boats from Liyue Harbor all around, judging from their style and state of decay, they had only recently appeared here.

These fishing boats were completely empty; the supplies and planks from the hull appeared to have been recycled by the Hilichurls.

As for why the Hilichurls still came here despite the recent flood, they were probably influenced by the remnants of the demon god.

As for what the remnants of the demon god are... perhaps it's a part of Oser that was cut off a thousand years ago.
