I vanished away from the camp

God, adeptis here are wierd

I traveled over to liyue Harbord or whatever that place is called

Making my way towards the address I was given

Wangsheng Funeral Parlor

Oh great I'm meeting with someone with a corpse fetish

I knocked on the door kinda praying no one answered
Though the gods don't really like me so...
The door opened within seconds

"why hello there is there a body you need me to barry......."

Nope. I did not sign up for this, "what no! um, are you zhongli?"

"no... Sorry silly"

Oh, thank god

"in here though so follow me..."

Humans are so weird

I followed the young girl inside all the way to the end of the hallway opening a door. behind the door was a long spiral staircase

am I going to die?!

I swore I would only die on the battlefield, not some crazy's basement

"well I'm not allowed any further though Mr.zhongling's office is the second one on your left"

I headed down the stair the strange girl still staring at me.

"well totaloo"
-------------------------------------------------------

knock knock........knock

"enter"

I entered with cation not wanting to make myself look like a threat, well

at least not today

"so you faked your own death to work at a funeral parlor"

the tall man placed down his tea," this is just temporary plus the life of an archon was not fit for me, especially after the war"

I chuckled, " well if that's the case Morax why have you called for me"

"for help"

I cocked my head back, "you, need my help?'

"oh please don't be so full of yourself", "I'm not the one who needs help"

"then who?"

"xiao"

I looked at the man with confusion

"you may not know but here in liyue we three adeptis that still stay around, though one has moved into the life a human"

"xiao is one of them", he continued, " as for the other one she is still in training"

this man can't be for real with this I'm not going to pick up the slack of his adepti, "you know Inazuma has only me left of its Adeptis"

"yes though you still have your leader"

"hey it's not my fault you decided to fake your death", "or that your adepti works to his full potential

"but that's it"

I stared at the man I felt ashamed for losing my temper

"you see after the war xiao swore he would protect liyue till the end"

"I don't understand"

"he does too much he only sees himself as a weapon"

"so you want me to do half his shit so he can get a vacation?"

" Y/N don't be foolish here now"

"he'll kill himself if he keeps it up"

"just help him"

"very well"
