You'd know when I meant you harm. I wouldn't hide that away. [ Plenty of time to instigate a fight once Childe can secure some kind of binding contract and seal off every loophole. Zhongli's good for his word; all he needs to do is force his hand into direct engagement. No avenue for refusal, then.
