the rite of parting has thankfully gone very smoothly — with only two harbingers , the qixing and the adepti knowing that their god had not actually passed . and zhongli -- who was mortal as far as anyone else was concerned , continued his job as the consultant of wangsheng funeral parlor . dealing with his boss , arranging funerals , and so on . the one thing that hurt the most was the hateful gaze he received from childe after it was revealed to the young man that zhongli was rex lapis / morax . but he was already gone from liyue , so there wasn't much he could do . . so quietly , he finally made his way to wangshu inn and went to the roof of the building where he knew xiao usually was . ❛ are you here , xiao ? ❜ his voice was soft as he looked around for the young adeptus — that he saved all those years ago , a bottle of medicine in his hand . it was not for regular mortals however , only for adepti and other immortal beings . hopefully it would help with xiao's pain that came with his karma .
