Fu Xuan recounted everything she had gleaned from the Matrix of Prescience to Jing Yuan, without omitting a single detail. Jing Yuan listened intently, his expression calm and composed as she explained that the Stellaron Hunters had no direct connection to the Xianzhou crisis.

After giving his trusty battle axe to Noelle, Jia Changjiang had been using whatever came to hand. But this new weapon, a reward from fulfilling his contract with Zhongli, suited him perfectly. 2025-01-19 01:30:23 +0000 UTC View Post
Venti’s confident declaration about his weakened state left Jia Changjiang utterly baffled.
Despite the bard’s insistence, there was no convincing him otherwise, so Jia Changjiang simply let it go.
