In Genshin Impact, why are all the characters I play NPCs?

Seeing that the other party's tone remained indifferent, Xianyun remained silent for a long time, feeling that she had no temper left.

He could only sigh helplessly: "You have a firm mind, are not swayed by external things, and have a connection to the immortals. I would like to take you in, but you have a relationship with that rude guy. It's really... bad luck."

Xiao Shenhe ignored the second half of the sentence and asked curiously, "Then will you take me as your apprentice?"

Xianyun said irritably, "I've already said all this, why can't you give me any other response!"

"Master."

"You called too early. I can only take you away after I've met your parents and they agree. Cultivating immortality isn't as wonderful as mortals think. Once you leave, it's like severing all ties with the mortal world."

"Yes, I don't have parents anymore."

Xianyun's expression froze.

"how do I say this?"

“My mother left when I was very young, and my father sent me to the cave of the great monster… to the cave of that big brother.”

Xianyun's eyes showed a hint of pity. This child looked to be only five or six years old, yet he had already gone through so much. He was truly pitiful.

"Are there any other relatives?"

“No, my father never took me to see them.”

"That's it..."

The two, one big and one small, were speechless for a moment.

Xianyun remained silent for a long time before finally breaking the deathly silence.

"Do you really want to become my disciple? You should know that once you leave, you will no longer be a mortal, and everything in the mortal world will have nothing to do with you."

Xiao Shenhe nodded and asked a question: "Can I still see him?"

Xianyun's expression froze: "Why do you keep saying 'he he he'? Do you even know the other person's name?"

Xiao Shenhe thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, but he saved my life."

Xianyun sighed, "This cause and effect must indeed be repaid. Oh well, oh well."

After saying this, she fell silent. Xiao Shenhe was not a lively person to begin with, and the two of them remained quiet the whole way.

Back in his cave, Xianyun looked at the gift box on the table with some curiosity.

"That's really strange, someone actually gave me a gift?"

Among the people she knows, everyone has a strange personality. Forget about giving gifts; if they don't get anything good when they come to her place, they're lucky.

Those who don't know her, and don't even know where she lives, naturally have no opportunity to give her gifts.

I took two steps forward and opened the box; inside were only a letter and a note.

Upon opening the envelope, there was only one short sentence inside.

"I suppose you've already been picked up by that old lady by now. Remember to focus on your cultivation. Don't worry, I'll come visit you sometimes."

Signature.

Xu Guang.

Chapter 172: An Immortal Touches My Head, Granting Me Immortality

"..."

Xianyun stared at the envelope, gritting her teeth in anger.

Old lady! Old lady!!

Is she that old?

Immortals have long lifespans, so her age isn't considered old at all!

Putting aside how the other party knew where she lived, the old lady at the beginning had already infuriated her.

Women have a subtle thing in common.

Age is a taboo subject.

After reading the letter, she casually tossed the things to Xiao Shenhe.

"That thing Xu Guang gave you."

Xiao Shenhe was stunned for a moment before realizing who Xu Guang was. He quickly took the book and looked at the calligraphy copybook and the opened letter inside.

The words on the letter made the little girl chuckle, but then she sensed something was wrong, quickly wiped the corner of her mouth from her lips, and looked at the remaining things in the box with a serious expression.

Putting everything else aside, the calligraphy copybook itself is very attractive in terms of appearance.

Upon opening it, there were only ten characters inside, yet they exuded a powerful aura.

After reading it, one feels refreshed and invigorated.

Xianyun was also drawn over, and she was surprised by the ethereal aura that emanated from the calligraphy scroll after it was opened.

Goodness, it's so rich, much more so than the entire contents of her cave.

Although the Teyvat continent cultivates elemental power, few people know that the immortals of Liyue have something more to do with the underlying logic of elemental power.

That's celestial energy. Having this stuff can greatly increase the power of your moves and even prolong your life.

But this thing is very rare, so rare that even if there were only a handful of immortals and a few scattered immortal cultivation families in the world, there wouldn't be enough to go around.

Xianyun's expression at this moment can be summed up in one word.

Desperate to see through.

She was really curious about who this Xu Guang was, that he could obtain such high-purity immortal energy.

Xiao Shenhe noticed his master's unusual expression, paused for a moment, then reached out and unfolded the calligraphy copybook.

"Master, would you like to come and take a look together?"

Xianyun coughed and pretended to be aloof: "Since it's your request, I can't very well refuse."

"actually……"

"Um!?"

"nothing……"

As Xiao Shenhe handed the scroll to him, Xianyun took a deep breath, his eyes glazed over.

"Nine-nine percent perfection, such a rare find..."

The purest form of immortal energy in the world is extremely rare. It's usually kept as a secret by these old folks, just in case.

I never expected to meet him again in such circumstances.

The characters on the calligraphy copybook captivated her attention.

Even though the characters were unfamiliar, she could understand their meaning at a glance.

"The immortal touches my top and bears longevity."

What a beautiful scene!

"Although that guy was very rude, his handwriting is quite good. I didn't expect him to be able to write poetry?"

"Idle Clouds muttered to itself."

Previously, there might have been some exaggeration in saying who the other party was, but now there's no exaggeration at all.

The opponent is capable of doing this, so they must be an old thing that has survived the Demon God War to this day, and their strength is definitely not weak.

He might be a little bit better than her, just a little bit, no more.

Xianyun gave a reluctant assessment, and soon she noticed the strange look in her newly accepted apprentice's eyes, and coughed twice.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xiao Shenhe said softly, "Master, now that you've finished looking at it, can you give it back to me?"

Xianyun blushed and awkwardly handed it over, but his wrist was very stiff.

She was really envious of this, but what could she do when it belonged to her apprentice?

She can't very well just rob it, can she?

Besides, her apprentice will definitely be living with her in the future, so she'll definitely have to bring the calligraphy copybook in; she can't just leave it outside.

Then she can easily find an opportunity to bask in some of the fairy's aura.

With that in mind, Xianyun relaxed and simply stuffed the calligraphy copybook back in.

"What are you afraid of? Do you think your master would steal your things? You should keep them safe; they're good stuff."

"Ah."

Xianyun felt a slight headache looking at the other person's appearance.

It's strange that she feels this little kid is even more otherworldly than she is.

However, they will have a long time to spend together in the future, and this will be more conducive to their spiritual practice.

Holding the other's small hand, Xianyun led her into the cave and called out.

"Gan Yu, come quickly, see what your teacher brought back for you?"

Before long, a plump young woman walked over. What does "plump" mean?

She looks slim in clothes but has a muscular physique when undressed, with all the right curves.

At this time, Gan Yu still had a little belly, and it would take many years for her to become the form that players could obtain through draws.

"Come on, come on."

Gan Yu yawned, walked over lazily, and then widened her eyes.

"Master...Master! Why did you bring a child back?"

Paji.

Xianyun slapped him across the back of the head.

"This is your future junior sister. What do you mean I brought a child back? Is that the kind of person you think I am?"

Gan Yu looked at the other person with some grievance.

"Could it be... not like..."

"Um!?"

"No, no, of course it doesn't look like it."

After a scolding, Xianyun left in a huff.

That's outrageous.

She's not old at all, so it's one thing for people to mistake her for an old aunt, but her apprentice even suspects her of child trafficking.

Does she not look like a good person?

It shouldn't be.

They clearly praised her back then.

Watching her master's retreating figure, Gan Yu breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the little girl in front of her with some curiosity, squatted down, and asked, "Junior sister, junior sister, what's your name?"

"Shen He."

"A good name. Let me guess. Has Master not asked yet?"

"Yes."

"I knew it. Master is good at everything, except he's so-so in some areas, hahaha. By the way, what are you?"

Shen He tilted his head, looking puzzled.

"What am I?"
