How to listen to Zhiyi and Linlang chat without getting caught in Yelan's Story Quest in Genshin Impact

Once the trailing segment starts, run to the left and crouch behind the red wagon by clicking on the Normal Attack button. Reference the image above for the exact position you can take to not get caught. Once Linlang and Zhiyi start moving, remain crouched and dash as you move to the next position.

Move to the right and crouch beside the big red pot, then wait for Zhiyi and Linlang's dialogue. When they start moving again, adjust your position while remaining crouched by using the dash button.

Move slightly forward and crouch behind the crates with a chest on top. Zhiyi and Linlang will continue to speak. Wait for them to part ways, then use the Normal Attack to switch to a standing position and chase after Zhiyi. This will prompt the Story Quest to continue with Yelan's dialogue.
