Liangmu

Um, I'm Liangmu. You healed me, remember? I wanna ask for your help with something

Who?

(Trailblazer)

Who? Liangmu? I don't remember that name

Liangmu

Oh, you've forgotten about me... You and Lady Bailu saved me in Cloudford

What is it?

(Trailblazer)

What is it?

Liangmu

Thanks to you, my condition is cured. The Sky-Faring Commission is planning to deport me... Now I have to leave Xianzhou

I don't know why, but I can't contact Banxia at all. I've left her some gifts and a letter, and I hope you can give those to her

I've mailed the package to Heron Express at Starskiff Haven and left your details with them. Please remember to pick it up

Farewell

Accepted Mission

Tale of Woe

Head to Starskiff Haven and recieve Liangmu's parcel

Step Description

Liangmu wishes you can hand the parcel he prepared for Banxia to her. Obviously, he didn't know about Banxia's passing. Keep the parcel and discuss it with the little healer about how to deal with it.
It can't be a love letter, can it? Better not read it in case of cringe.

Central Starskiff Haven

(Interact with the cycrane): Cycrane: Please enter package receipt information.; (Enters Liangmu's information.); Cycrane: Recipient (Trailblazer) confirmed. Please take your package.; Trailblazer: (I should open it with Bailu.)

Bailu
(Trailblazer)
Hey, miracle doctor
There's a package
(Trailblazer)
There's a package for Banxia. I want to unwrap it with you, if that's okay
Bailu
Okay! Let's meet at Starskiff Haven!
Banxia shouldn't mind if we unwrap these gifts for her

Go to the location at which you promised to meet Bailu

Step Description

You receive the parcel and want to open it with Bailu.
This isn't a parcel sent to either of you, but since Banxia is no longer around, look at what he wrote.

(Approach Bailu's location)

Bailu: What took you so long? What kind of package is it?

(Submit Delivery Package)

Bailu: There's a letter inside! Help me open it.

(Reading Liangmu's Letter)

Dear Banxia,

I hope this letter finds you well. (I heard that people from Xianzhou always engage in such pleasantries when writing letters)

Since I left Cloudford, I have tried many times to contact you in vain. Then it occurred to me that I can ask the two healers you sent last time to deliver this letter directly to you. There's an important matter I wish you to know. I don't want to walk away like this, and I have to tell you what I'm thinking.

To be honest, if the two healers hadn't arrived in time, I would have thought that you abandoned me.

But that doesn't mean I forgive you. I asked the two healers and realized that not only did you not come to me, you also did not bring me the list I want. You just took pity on me and and sent the two doctors over. I do not need treatment! What I need is equal respect. I know you have always looked down on short-lived species like me. I feel like a street rat.

You have no idea how long I have been hiding in that humble container, how vicious the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus are, and how dangerous the judges of the Ten-Lords Commission are... You have no idea of all the dangers I faced while you were hiding in the Alchemy Commission. You only cared about yourself, never my life.

You've done so little for me... I can't feel your love at all despite your past assurances.

I have to make it clear that I never liked you. You said that you could get the Elixir of Immortality, so I got close to you. You said that the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus are real, so I encouraged you to join them. You said that you could get the list from the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, so I risked everything and and waited for you at Cloudford. Stop thinking you're superior to me. I don't need your pity.

By the way, I have already been repatriated by the Palace of Astrum. When you received the letter, I will already had left. Farewell!

Liangmu

Bailu: ...Ya!

In a flash, Bailu grabs the letter, tears it to pieces, and hurls them into the air.

Bailu: That Liangmu is a complete scumbag — he never cared about Banxia! He only wanted to use her to get to the elixir of immortality... Why couldn't Banxia see it?

If we'd known, we wouldn't have opened the package...

Bailu: Right... because if we'd known, it'd be in the trash by now.

It's lucky Banxia didn't see the letter.

Bailu: Yeah, you're right.

Bailu: That jerk better run as fast as his legs can carry him! Ugh, I regret healing him so much now.

Bailu: ...And it makes me even angrier to think that Miss Banxia might've known what he was like to begin with, but stayed with him all the same.

No way, Liangmu must've tricked her!

Bailu: Grownups are so complicated! I don't understand, and I don't want to understand.

Love is blind.

Bailu: Grownups are so complicated! I don't understand, and I don't want to understand.

Only she knew the truth.

Bailu: Grownups are so complicated! I don't understand, and I don't want to understand.

Bailu: First I was hungry, then I was angry, and now I'm hangry. *sigh* Come on (Trailblazer), let's get a bite to eat. Your treat!
