3RD POV

“ Hello Mr Phantom sorry for being late we were-Is everything alright? “ Childe shouted as he waved at the dark figure kneeling before the Exuvia

“Yes...so was this...what you wanted me to see ? “ It sighed as it rose to its feet  , pulling out the pyro sword impaled into the marble floor to face the two men

“Technically yes but no ? And about being late we were sending our friends from mondstadt , Kaeya and Diluc if you know them . We were just helping them to find their way to return something to a friend in Liyue “ The phantom’s eyes widened behind his mask

No not now

Kaeya and Diluc are on their way to visit me in Liyue Harbour

I have to make this quick

“ However I think it would be better if Mr Zhongli here explained it to you “ The red head said bashfully , embarrassed as he had already forgotten half of what his friend told him earlier

“ ...Mr Zhongli ? And why would he be my interest “ The warrior asked sternly as he folded his arms waiting for an answer

“ Mr Phantom...you do realise the Exuvia does not have a gnosis...right ? “ Zhongli questioned the figure who scoffed in response

“ What is this Mr Childe ? Some kind of joke ? I don’t find this amusing at all “ It replied shaking his head

“If you do not believe him why not see for yourself ? “ Childe smirked gesturing to the dragon corpse behind them

“ If you think i would attempt to take out the gnosis of my brother you have gravely mistaken harbinger “ The Phantom warrior was growing weary of the two , mentally preparing himself for an ambush

“ You seem to stay very loyal to your brother even after death Mr Phantom , but i can’t really tell you both are related “ Tartagila laughed awkwardly , studying the armour of his business partner closely trying his best to link the dragon and the white haired warrior before him

“ We are not biological brothers “ The warrior replied

“ Ah that explains it , You do not by any chance use a foul legacy for your armour ? “ he asked hopefully glancing at the delusion that was slightly hidden on the top of the mask , its light radiating through the fine cracks

“ No I do not , I crafted this myself...i see you are a user of a foul legacy ? “

“ Yeah i don’t use it often , though “ Childe chuckled adjusting the mask to sit on the side of his head

“ So back to business , I have work to do what is your  purpose bringing me here other than to see the exuvia myself ? “  The white haired fighter rushed as he counted down the minutes he had before he had to bolt back to the harbour to receive the two surprise guests from mondstadt

“ Atleast Morax now can be reunited with his other friends , Guizhong and Havria...although the goddess of salt was a weak god he still tolerated her presence as his other friends regarded her as family “

“I just hope my brother forgives me for not arriving sooner” Phantom sighed in remorse , glancing at the dead dragon behind him

“ Don’t feel bad Mr Phantom i know he would understand you did everything you could to see him ! “

“plus i know how you must feel , i don’t even know how to live if Teucer was taken from me “ Childe comforted placing his hand on the taller perceived male who nodded slowly

“Your brother would be glad you visited him” Zhongli spoke knowingly

As what he meant was true

He was thankful his brother still risked working with the fatui to be able to see him

Well his corpse

The Red Phantom , Huanying was seen by Morax as a younger brother although he was only five hundred years younger than the geo archon

Despite being the red phantom’s superior he was always kind towards huanying ,treating him as his brother

As the archon’s right hand man he always spent time with Huanying , slowly seeing the warrior as his younger brother

( Y/N is your real name , as the red phantom your name is Huanying and the cover name u use now is Yujing)

And he always told others including Havria and Guizhong to not enjoy his so called brother‘s company too much

Never allowed the archon to travel around alone

Nor eat spicy food since Huanying despised spicy food and could never check for abnormalities

Huanying was a very VERY protective sibling of sorts to the geo lord

As if he were really his brother

However although they saw each other as brothers Huanying still addresses him as master when required such as for fulfilling contracts and during meetings with the seven 

“ he must be lucky to have family like you “

The amber eyed male smiled sadly , guilty that he could not bring himself to reveal his true identity to his mourning brother
