Then he looked at Ying and Paimon beside him.
"If you want to leave, then go ahead. Don't worry about me. I might just stay here and have a few more drinks..."
"Take this opportunity to familiarize yourself with how to use chopsticks."
After speaking, the young master looked at the chopsticks neatly arranged on the table.
Upon hearing this, Ying stood up and walked out of the private room with Paimon.
"Wait, Qiu Nian, didn't you also promise Zhong Li?"
Aren't you going?
Paimon seemed to remember something.
Looking at Qiu Nian, who was still sitting in her seat, she asked with some confusion.
"No rush, I've heard a little about the process of sending off immortals."
"I haven't eaten anything this morning, so I'll just eat here before I leave."
"After all, such delicious food would be a waste if we didn't eat it."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian looked at Ying and Paimeng, who were standing at the door of the private room, and explained.
"hateful..."
"Paimon wants to eat it too..."
Upon hearing this, Paimon looked at the table full of delicious food and silently shed tears.
"Then we'll head over first."
Ying nodded and walked with Paimon toward the gate of Crescent Moon Pavilion.
"Haha, perfect, now I have someone to stay and keep me company."
"Mr. Qiu Nian, would you like a few drinks?"
After seeing Ying and Paimon leave, D'Artagnan smiled and asked Qiu Nian.
“Mr. Dadalia, you have such refined tastes.”
"Of course I can't refuse."
Qiu Nian smiled and nodded upon hearing this.
When Dadalia saw Qiu Nian nod, he went to the private room.
I asked the waiter for several bottles of the restaurant's best wine.
Before long, Dadalia returned to his seat with two bottles of wine in his hand.
For the rest of the time, the young master used his clumsy chopsticks to pick up the food.
He would occasionally clink glasses with Qiu Nian and have a drink.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Since no one mentioned what happened that night.
The meal passed by pleasantly.
But D'Artagnan continued to use the phrase "autumn 20" throughout the process.
But Qiu Nian is an old man who has lived for many years.
D'Artagnan couldn't get a single useful word out of him.
After parting ways with the young master, Qiu Nian wandered around Liyue Harbor for a while.
Ying and Paimon were also during this period.
I witnessed Zhongli's strange concept of money.
And his mind was full of knowledge about high society.
But this Mr. Zhongli really knows a lot, as if he knows everything.
He speaks in a very formal, literary way.
After getting the perfume from Ying'er, the charioteer of Liyue.
They headed towards the Statue of the Seven on the outskirts of Liyue Harbor.
Meanwhile, at the Seven Gods statue, Qiu Nian was talking to Zhong Li.
"I see... You actually went to another world back then."
Is it truly another "world"?
"Truly unbelievable..."
"I never imagined we would meet again, especially in this way."
After Zhongli sighed, he looked at Qiu Nian in front of him and said with great emotion.
"Time has passed, the world has changed, and now everything is different..."
"Two thousand years is enough time to change too much."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian looked at the seven statues of gods that did not exist two thousand years ago and was quite moved.
"After that war ended, you disappeared from this world."
"If you have free time."
"I'd really like to hear about what you've seen outside the real 'world'."
Zhongli turned her head, looked at Qiu Nian beside her, and revealed a faint smile.
"nature..."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian smiled faintly at Zhong Li as well.
"Old friend, what exactly happened after your war with 'the sky' ended?"
"And how did you get to that other world...?"
Zhongli looked at Qiu Nian in front of him and asked.
"Um..."
Qiu Nian frowned slightly upon hearing this.
It was as if I had fallen into some kind of memory.
That was a deep, dark place capable of swallowing billions of stars...
That's the universal law of "all that is born must perish"...
Then, the scene in my mind shifted to an unfamiliar starry sky.
"That's..."
"It's a long story..."
Qiu Nian came to her senses, remained silent for a moment, and then murmured to herself.
Chapter 13: The Dialogue Between Qiu Nian and Zhong Li
"Though I don't know the process, I do know the result..."
Zhongli looked at Qiu Nian's expression and sighed.
"yes..."
"Failed..."
"No matter how close I got to success, I still failed."
After sighing, Qiu Nian smiled with relief.
"You shouldn't have come back... old friend."
Zhongli closed his eyes slightly and sighed.
"This is my home..."
"Since I left home by chance, I should look for a way out outside of home."
"After all... our home is going to be completely swallowed up by the flood..."
Qiu Nian smiled upon hearing this.
“In another world, I found a way.”
"But it is still a glimmer of hope."
"The two universes have different laws and principles, and the power required to find and return to this universe is immense."
"Let my current strength be greatly reduced."
Qiu Nian looked at Zhong Li in front of her and slowly spoke.
"any solution."
Zhong Li asked.
"A very slim chance..."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian replied.
Zhongli pondered for a moment upon hearing this answer.
"From the beginning of the world until this day, no one in Teyvat has ever thought about this matter."
"Because even thinking won't help."
"All things perish, this is the natural order..."
"This is the ultimate fate that all worlds in the Star Sea, including Teyvat, must face."
"Without thinking, how can there be any resistance? Now, my old friend has not only thought about it, but has also resisted it."
"They even found a way to counter it in another universe."
