After the meeting with the Qixing. Yelan and Y/N headed towards the path to the Chasm.

A peaceful silence flowed around them as they walk, Yelan would usually bring up a conversation with Y/N joining in as they chat.

Yelan told the story about how in the Chasm is where a Yaksha sleeps, also known as the Nameless Yaksha.

Y/N heard about the different Yaksha appointed by Rex Lapis himself.

Zhongli would usually tell her the backstory of the Yakshas, but he kept the information limited.

Soon they arrived at the entrance, the Mililith greeted them, instead of interrogating they simply let them in. Recognizing the familiar faces of the allies of the Qixing they actually feared the two ladies.

But soon, one Mililith stopped them.

"Ms. Yelan, Ms. Y/N." The guard called, showing gratitude and respect by placing his polearm straight infront of him.

Yelan smiled and asked, "Yes?"

"There are some Treasure Hoarders that's been trying to trespass the Chasm for days now, and they won't listen to us and causes a ruckus." He explained as he pointed to the left. Where smoke flew threw the air, they theoried there was a camp.

Y/N looked at the direction, "Let me guess, this is where me and Yelan comes in?"

The Mililith nodded.

Yelan and Y/N accepted the simple comission before heading towards the camp.

"Just by looking at the ropes, holes, and scratches on the wall. They must've tried climbing." Y/N rose an eyebrow as she saw the frustrated marks on the wall.

Yelan let out a chuckle covering her mouth in an elegant way, "They can try, but it will take more effort to climb up that wall."

Y/N sighed, for some reason she can feel someone is watching her. But she shrugged it off since Yelan never felt something

She usually remind her that somebody was watching them to confirm.

Her body felt tense, why there was a heavy sensation on her heart.

Snapping out of her daze, Yelan disappeared beside her as she use her amazing skill against the Treasure Hoarders.

Matching the amazing hydro user, she supported her by throwing a cryo king chess piece on the air making a small aura around them which causes everything to freeze.

With the hydro vision of Yelan, the dark blue haired girl can easily support her with her Cryo Vision.

Soon the Treasure Hoarders froze in place, Yelan wore the jacket that was placed on her shoulders when Y/N used her cryo. Protecting herself from the cold.

Y/N fortunately is already used to it.

There was a Treasure Hoarder has his body frozen, everything but his head.

Y/N pointed her sword towards the face if the man.

"Speak." She ordered.

The man nodded frantically, "W-We just wanted t-to get s-some ores in the C-Chasm. But the Mililith won't let us in!" He explained, his teeth chattering from the cold.

Yelan waves a finger at Y/N signalling her to lessen the cold.

Raising her hand up, she watched as the chess piece elevated on her hand. The cold started to lessen, but it's still enough for them to stay frozen.

"Well, if you wanted to gather ores inside the Chasm, you could've asked permission to the Qixing to grant you entrance. You sre basically trespassing." Yelan explained shaking her head at the man.

He frowned and said he promised to get permission from the Qixing.

"Pleas let us go- We promise we won't bother them again." He cried out.

Y/N looked at them with a slight amused expression as she play with her cryo chess piece, fidgeting it.

Yelan sent Y/N a look, understanding. The cryo aura around them disappeared. Watching as the frozen body of the Treasure Hoarders melt from the sun's heat.

The girl excused herself as Yelan continued teaching the man how to get proper permission to the Qixing.

Y/N looked around as she admire the beauty of Liyue until she saw a man on a couple trees away.

Not just an ordinary man.

It was him.

Midnight black hair and glasses. He was staring off the distance. Not noticing the gaze of the girl.

She stared at the man in shock.

'Its been months... What is he doing here? He look different, his was a bit shorter than before. He looked handso-'

"Y/N! Let's go, I've finally took care of them." Yelan called.

The girl's eyes widen and faced Yelan with a flushed cheeks.

'Why did I think that?!'

Yelan raised an eyebrow and folded her arms, "Are you okay? Your face is red."

Nodding immediately, "Y-Yeah I'm fine. It's just the heat."

The short haired girl's face turned into a worried expression, "Oh goodness, well then let's go inside the Chasm. There's a small ca-"

Y/N shaking her head, "N-No it's fine. Don't worry I'm used to it! I've been patrolling you know."

"Yes, but you healt-"

"Yelan, I promise I'm fine. I'll patrol outside first then I'll go inside the Chasm and patrol. Okay?" Y/N said. She wasn't lying, it was her plan all along, patrol outside the inside. But using the excuse of patrolling outside to face the man.

'smart'

She sarcastically thought

Yelan sughed and smiled at the girl, "Fine, I forgot your stubborn. Feel free to rest anytime okay?"

Y/N noddded softly back.

Waving at the girl, Yelan went inside the entrance of the Chasm and soon disappeared.

Sighing in relief.

She turned around and saw the Man still leaning against the tree.

Changing a bit of her facade, she made her way to the man gripping ber weapon tightly.

Pantalone who was resting a bit from the long walk of follwing Y/N trying to find the chance to talk to her.

Suddenly felt a cold metal sensation near his neck.

Opening his eyes. His dark blue eyes connected with light blue ones...

"Holy shit they finally met!" -Hell

"Also, feel free to ask questions. I'll make a QnA..."
