"Traveller, isn't Wendy also at the scene? With him testifying for us, we shouldn't be considered suspects, right?"

After following Ying and hiding in the grass, Paimon suddenly asked.

Looking at Wendy who was still playing tricks on her ancestor, Ying put her forehead with one hand, shook her head, and answered softly. "Then, Paimon, do you want to go up and meet Wendy?"

Paimon immediately shook his head.

"Well...it's better to forget it."

"I didn't expect that the relationship between the God of Wind and the God of Rock would be so good. But Wendy's behavior is a bit, a bit too... too embarrassing."

"If we go and meet him now, we will definitely die while we stay in Liyue."

Ying nodded. "Yes, and, strictly speaking, Wendy is also one of the suspects."

"This is Liyue. Don't forget that even in Mondstadt, not many people believe that he is the God of Wind. What's more, this is the country of the God of Rock."

"So if we go directly to find him like this, the worst possibility is that we will be captured by the Qianyan Army together with Wendy."

Paimon scratched his head when he heard this. "That's right. The singers themselves are still suspicious..."

Ying continued. "Besides, if we stay there, there's a good chance we'll get into trouble."

"God may have been the enemy back then. Before making sure that the other party is a friend rather than an enemy, it must not fall into the hands of the other party's believers."

Paimon nodded understandingly. "You are right... Traveler, you have a special status. Although you are not an assassin, you cannot be caught here."

At this moment, a group of Qianyan Army happened to patrol here.

"Quick, quick, a few people are coming here! We also need to search the grass here."

Hearing the noise coming from outside, Paimon was frightened and hid behind Ying.

"Ah, someone is coming. Travelers, let's hide!"

Ying observed the actions of the Qianyan Army outside through the gaps in the grass.

Then he found the right moment, pulled Paimon and ran out of the grass quickly.

By blocking his vision, he bypassed the Qianyan Army who came to search and quickly ran outside.

After Ying and Paimon left, a Qianyanjun who heard the sound of the grass shaking subconsciously raised his gun and looked back.

"Who is where..."

"Huh? That's weird, is there no one there? I seemed to hear something behind me just now..."

The Qianyan Army colleagues who were attracted by his voice put down their spears.

"Did you hear it wrong? There was no movement. Why didn't I hear it?"

"This...maybe I'm too nervous. Who would have thought that the emperor would be assassinated during the ceremony of inviting immortals."

"Oh, that's true. Who would have thought that the Emperor would leave us just like that..."

"Hey! You two, stop dawdling and come here quickly! We also need to search the pool here! Don't miss any hiding place!"

……

While Paimon and Ying sneak away.

Standing not far away from Ningguang and looking at Wendy who was lying on top of the ancestor Fashen, Qin Hao's mouth curved slightly.

Especially after noticing Zhongli in the crowd, whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, Qin Hao resisted the urge to laugh out loud and reached out to pinch his thigh.

No, this scene is too joyful.

No wonder Wendy dared to steal the Ice Queen's scepter and replace it with a Qiuqiu human stick.

I still underestimated Wendy's ability to make trouble.

It is indeed the wind of freedom, good guy, you are really not afraid of waiting for Zhongli to beat you all the way from Liyue back to Mondstadt, right?

In terms of force value, Zhongli is known as the God of War. In comparison, Wendy's is a little worse.

"Ahem~ This... sir? What about that? Please don't continue to cry while holding the emperor's old man's body."

"We understand your feelings, but please cooperate with our work. Only in this way can the culprit who killed the emperor be brought to justice as soon as possible..."

Finally, Qian Yanjun, who couldn't stand it anymore, came up and persuaded Wendy to leave.

After retreating back into the crowd, and waiting until everyone around her stopped looking at her, Wendy wiped away the tears from her eyes. He asked Qin Hao and others in a low voice with a smile.

"How is it? My acting skills are not bad."

Qin Hao and others didn't wait for an answer. Suddenly there was a round of applause.

clap clap ~

"What a great performance. I didn't know Barbatos had such a good relationship with Morax."

As the people of Liyue were evacuated by the Qianyan Army, Zhongli walked towards this side with a dark face.

Seeing the real owner coming, Wendy subconsciously hid behind Ying.

"Hey~"

"Don't I just want to liven up the atmosphere?"

"Suddenly, such a big dragon fell from the sky with a clatter. Although it didn't hit anyone, it still frightened the people of Liyue."

"That's why I wanted to liven up the atmosphere and bring the Immortal Invitation Ceremony to a perfect conclusion."

"According to what you said, do I still need to thank you?" Zhongli asked with a dark face.

Wendy scratched her head. "Hehe~ How can we thank you for our relationship? Just give me some Liyue's specialty wine."

pop~

Zhongli held his forehead with one hand. There was really nothing he could do about his old friend's temper.

Zhongli grabbed Wendy's shoulders.

"Tell me, what are you doing in Liyue this time?"

Wendy bared her teeth and shouted. "Oh! It hurts, it hurts! Master, I was wrong!"

"We just stopped by to meet you this time."

"After all, we haven't seen each other for 500 years. Didn't everyone gather often before that incident happened?"

Ningguang quickly tidied up his appearance. Then he handed over to Zhongli.

"Tianquan Ningguang has met the emperor."

Zhongli nodded. "Well, this year's Immortal Invitation Ceremony was pretty good. It would have been even more perfect if some guy who disrupted the situation didn't show up."

After saying that, Zhongli glared at Wendy again.

Wendy whistled and tilted her head. Pretend like nothing happened.

"My lord, may I ask, my lord, what is the meaning of doing this?"

"I want to know why you chose to fake your death during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony." Ning Guang looked at Zhongli and asked.

Zhongli raised his head, sighed slightly and replied.

"No matter how solid the stone is, there will be a day when cracks appear. Although I always tell myself that that day has not yet come."

"But if one day something happens to me due to wear and tear, can Liyue withstand such a blow?"

"I have been guarding Liyue for 3700 years. Although Liyue was founded by me."

"But Liyue does not belong to any one person, but to all the people of Liyue."

"Ever since the wear and tear appeared, I have often thought that maybe it's time to try to let Liyue people manage it themselves."

"So I wanted to plan this fake death to test whether Liyue, who has been walking with the gods for 3,700 years, is ready to enter the era of human rule."

As he said that, Zhongli turned his head and stared directly at Wendy. "In the end, someone disrupted the situation."

"According to my original plan, no one should know that I am still hot until this test is completed."

"By the way, when did you discover my identity?"

"This..." Ningguang glanced at Qin Hao subconsciously.

Qin Hao coughed lightly and spoke proactively.

"Ahem~ I told her your identity, Morax, or Mr. Zhongli."
