Genshin Impact: I was sent away by Yaksha at the beginning

With mixed feelings, Ling Mengxue and the others finally waited until the next day, and under the guidance of the young master, they stepped into the Northland Bank again.

Catherine received and welcomed them warmly, but the young master was not at the Northland Bank.

"Welcome friends of Lord Young Master. I wish you a bright future in the Fatui." Ekaterina said seriously.

"We are not the young master's friends." Paimeng blurted out quickly, and Ling Mengxue and Ying nodded.

"So, where is the young master? Didn't you say that you can introduce us to the person who broke the situation today?" Ling Mengxue didn't want to have too much contact with the Fatui. After listening to Ying's description, she had already determined that the Fatui were not good people. It seemed that the Ice Kingdom seemed to have a very big conspiracy. I'm afraid that it's not just the Eye of the Wind God that is being targeted. If she guessed correctly, the Ice Queen might be targeting all the God's Hearts. Then the young master's purpose of wanting to get close to Ying was obvious.

But we cannot rely solely on Xiao for now. As the innkeeper said, today's Liyue has long been out of the control of the immortals. It is completely unpredictable how Liyue, which is gradually controlled by the Liyue Seven Stars, will develop in the future.

"So, where is the young master now? Where should we find him?" Ying obviously hoped to break the current deadlock as soon as possible. After going through so much hardship to reach Liyue, he couldn't come back empty-handed.

"My Lord is now in the Liuli Pavilion."

"Wow, is it the famous Liuli Pavilion?" Paimon immediately became excited when he heard about food. He seemed very excited. "Let's go over there quickly."

Ying helplessly looked at Paimeng who had his craving for food again, and smiled at Ling Mengxue embarrassedly. Ling Mengxue had long known that Paimeng was a foodie, so she smiled back, and they immediately came to the Glazed Pavilion.

"Oh, you're finally here." As soon as I stepped into the Glazed Pavilion, I heard the young master's hearty laughter. "I already said yesterday that I found someone who can break the impasse. Come with me now."

"Is that master already here?" Ying asked curiously.

"Yes, come with me. When you come to Liyue, you must abide by Liyue's customs. I have prepared a meeting ceremony called a dinner party."

"Let me introduce you. This friend is a Taoist priest and a guest of the Wangsheng Hall—Mr. Zhongli."

"...a gangster, so this seemingly elegant man is actually..." Ling Mengxue looked at Zhongli who was sitting peacefully in the VIP seat, and this picture came into her mind.

As the supreme leader of the organization, Mr. Zhongli went to the Hall of Rebirth as a nominal guest because he was bored, but he was secretly doing things that no one knew about. When he confirmed that someone would bring great danger to the organization, he would send out his most capable younger brother, Xiao: "Kill him."

"Yes, sir." Xiao quickly disappeared into the moonlight, and somewhere in Liyue, there was another unknown ghost. I don't know if it's because the relationship between Zhongli and Xiao always seems to be subtle, but if the real situation is like this, it seems to make sense. But... isn't Xiao an immortal? Ah, my mind is so confused.

"Well, in Liyue, an industry like Wangsheng Hall always has to deal with some underworld business." The young master did not seem to notice the changes in Ling Mengxue and Ying's expressions and continued to introduce.

"And we, the Fatui, have always loved dealing with these friends who walk in the shadows."

"Wait, why is it getting more and more terrifying? What does walking in the shadows mean... Ying, can we really trust them?" Paimeng seemed to be getting more and more uneasy. After listening to the young master's introduction, he was a little scared. This Wangsheng Hall might be some kind of underworld organization.

"Glad to meet you two. I've heard rumors about you in Mondstadt." Zhongli also stood up and politely greeted Ying and Paimon. "I didn't expect you to come along, Xiaoxue?" Seeing the white-haired boy beside the two, Zhongli was also surprised.

"Mr. Zhongli, it's an honor to have the opportunity to meet you again. Also, can I ask you a personal question later?" Ling Mengxue greeted Zhongli respectfully. If Zhongli was really a gangster, this person might not be someone to be provoked casually. If one is not careful, he might be assassinated.

"I will answer all the questions I can. But I see that this young friend seems to have some questions, so you may as well just speak up." Zhongli also noticed that Ying seemed a little confused.

"Excuse me, this organization called Wangshengtang... people from the underworld... who send people to the afterlife..." Ying hesitated for a moment but still couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, just as you guessed - the Wangsheng Hall is an organization that manages funerals, and its purpose is to help people pass away peacefully." Zhongli answered naturally.

"Ah...it's not the case!" Paimeng finally let go of his worries.

"? Haha, did you mistake Mr. Zhongli for a killer?" The young master just felt that the atmosphere seemed to be wrong. It turned out that his introduction caused the people in front of him to misunderstand.

"Although there are indeed many killers among the Fatui's friends, I'm sorry to disappoint you all, but the Wangsheng Hall is not in this line of business, at least not on the surface..." The young master continued to speak ambiguously.

"What do you mean it's not on the surface? Can you please explain clearly? I'm so pissed off. I'm going to give you a nickname, Dada Standing Duck!"

"Paimeng!" Ying quickly spoke up to stop the outspoken Paimeng. It was unknown how Paimeng knew the young master's real name, but it was too rude to give someone such a nickname. Besides, Mr. Zhongli, a man of the underworld, was still here.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll catch you and roast you!" The young master didn't seem angry. Instead, he flashed to Paimon's side and acted as if he was about to catch him.

"Help!" Paimeng no longer dared to show off his strength and hurriedly hid behind Ying.

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble. It's time to listen to Mr. Zhongli talk about business." Ling Mengxue was also helpless with the troublemaker Paimeng. This little thing really dared to provoke anyone. Just now, he gave Xiao the nickname of a three-and-a-half-inch immortal, and now he dared to mock the young master. If things continued like this, I'm afraid even Mr. Zhongli would not be able to escape the bad luck.

"I have a way to let you see the immortal body of Emperor Rock King." Zhongli saw that they had finally calmed down, so he spoke slowly. The surroundings had not been so lively for a long time. Looking at this group of people making a fuss in front of him, he seemed to see the immortals and yakshas of the past.

"Really?! He's worthy of being a gangster, so awesome." Paimeng was the first to exclaim.

"Don't be too surprised. Times have changed... The era of immortals has gone, and the era of humans has gradually become a reality. The people of Liyue will gradually accept this reality." Zhongli said slowly.

"In previous years, when each immortal passed away, there would be a grand memorial ceremony. This has always been a tradition of Liyue. But this time, perhaps because the emperor passed away too suddenly, even the Seven Stars had no time to take care of this tradition... This is really shameful."

"There is no other way. After all, the murderer has not been caught yet. I am afraid that catching the murderer who assassinated the emperor is the top priority of the Seven Stars." Ling Mengxue spread her hands. It is obviously not appropriate to consider the ceremony of sending off the immortals when the murderer has not been caught yet. In any case, the people of Liyue must be given an explanation for the sudden murder of the Rock King Emperor.

"The Wangsheng Hall is not concerned with the strange matter of murdering gods. What the Wangsheng Hall focuses on is the funeral ceremony. This time, the emperor died unexpectedly. When he was summoned to the immortal, it was so grand, but no one cared after his death. This is really unbecoming. Although it is a bit presumptuous, I hope that you can perform the immortal sending ceremony together with the Wangsheng Hall."

"In other words, only by participating in the Immortal Sending Ceremony can you have the chance to touch the body of the Rock God, right?" Ying looked at Zhongli seriously.

"That's right. If you want to see the body of the Rock God, this is probably the only way." "If you have thought it over, come with me. We'll talk about the details on the way." Zhongli also seems to be a man of action.

"...I haven't even taken two bites yet, what a waste!" Paimon yelled in dissatisfaction.

"Well, my matchmaking work is done, and the next step is to hand it over to Mr. Zhongli." The young master did not seem to intend to go with them. He picked up the chopsticks on the table. This thing was really difficult to use. He needed to study it carefully. I didn't know how the people of Liyue could use this kind of tableware so freely.

"Mr. Zhongli~" Ling Mengxue called out to Zhongli as soon as she stepped out of the Glazed Pavilion.

"Hmm?" Zhongli turned around, "Ah, Xiaoxue just said she had some questions to ask, right?"

"Um, sir, may I ask, is Xiao your thug?" Ling Mengxue held it in for a long time and finally found an opportunity to ask.
