"So please, may you tell me more of this blossom's sword?" Ninguangg asked. You nodded your head. "The blossom's sword is a catalyst that has been lost for centuries. It landed in Liyue unfound and it belongs to someone called 'Blossom Blood Witch.' She's the most powerful witch in centuries. The catalyst contains 3 gems that allow it to store powerful energy. Which is why I'm here!" You explained.

"You came here for a gem, huh?" "That's right!" Ninguangg thought to herself for a moment. Then she told you guys to wait here as she went inside the Jade Chamber. "What's she doing?" You asked Ganyu. "I don't know, but it's best to just wait while she does her thing."

You turned to Xiao who was staring off into the city. You walked over to him as he turned around to look at you. "Thinking about something?" You asked Xiao. He shook his head. "I was just waiting for your conversation to finish." "Ninguangg went inside, so now I'm just waiting out here for her to come back."

Xiao turned his head back to the city. "When you've reached the end of your journey, you're going back to Inazuma, correct?" Xiao asked. You nodded. "Mhm, that means I'll also stop bothering you like you wanted." Xiao stayed silent.

"Hey, do you ever think that witches and humans can be at peace with each other?" You asked. When you mentioned witches, Xiao was all ears. "Why do you ask?" "People say that witches are monsters that love cursing people, I actually agree, but if there was a day where the witches and humans aren't at war, do you think that they'd be able to live peacefully together?"

Xiao thought for a moment before answering, "Witches are associated with demons, which makes them an enemy of humanity, so they must be exterminated," he paused, "but there is some good in evil, not all people will accept people different from them, people that are different from them are considered abnormal, but they are too foolish to realize that everyone is different from one another. There will always be an internal conflict, so this world will never be at peace, but I believe that some will be able to accept the good in the evil."

Your eyes widened at his response. You were expecting him to say no, but it turns out his answer was almost the opposite. A warm feeling gushed over you. "I agree! It's how the world works, it's impossible to change the mindset of every person!" You exclaimed. 'But why is she fixated on peace with humans and witches? Is she planning something?' Xiao thought.

He then saw you making weird gestures with your hands while rambling on and on about other things off topic. He sighed. 'Probably not, she is a curious being who likes to ask about everything.' Shaking the thoughts away, he, for once, decides to listen to your ramblings.

Ganyu was watching you two as Ninguangg came back. "Those two seem to be very close," Ninguangg said while carrying something in her hand. Ganyu nodded. "It's rare to see Xiao open up, maybe it's a good thing." With a smile on her face, she walked over to you two with the news of Ninguangg waiting for you.

You walked over to Ninguangg and saw something wrapped in a white cloth. "What's that?" You asked. Ninguangg chuckled. "You tell me," she said as she removed the cloth from the item. It shined bright gold and white. "T-that's the second gem! How do you have it?"

"I happened to find it while gathering materials to rebuild the Jade Chamber," she explained. "I didn't know it held such significant value." "Ah, I see." Just then, the Jade Chamber started shaking.

"Lady Ninguangg!" A lady called out in panick. "Something hit the chamber! Come quick!" "Sorry, but I must go," said Ninguangg as she rushed over to see what's wrong.

"What happened?" Ninguangg asked. "I was cleaning the chamber as usual, but then something bright hit the broom out my hand, and then a bigger object flew through and crashed into the Jade Chamber!" There was a big fuss in Liyue. People were surrounded near the Jade chamber.
