“……” Ying and Paimon widened their eyes, their thoughts in turmoil for a moment, but they stopped talking when the words came to their lips.

[What Ningguang meant by this is that the reason she didn't let Guizhong's wife see the remains of the Rock God was because she was worried about the Fatui robbing her? ]

[The Fatui: Us? We rob an immortal and a demon god? Will we win? ]

【Those who have not died will become hard (corpses).】

"...I understand your reactions. The other seven stars also had similar reactions after they knew my reasons."

Ningguang said with a wry smile.

After all, if the Fatui really had the strength to confront the Immortals head-on, they would not think of using rumors to exert public pressure on the Seven Stars.

The immortals have been fighting all the way from the Demon War period to the present day, and each of them, after showing off their unique skills, can decide the outcome of a small battle.

A brave and capable general like the guardian Yaksha is even more capable of fighting against the devil.

To put it bluntly, even if the Ice Queen of Zhidong personally led the army to attack Liyue and the Three Gods did not take action, the immortals alone would be enough to make Zhidong pay a heavy price.

This is the case when none of the three gods, the Emperor, the Marshal, and the God of Dust, took action.

Although the Emperor is suspected to have passed away, the three gods can only be considered as two gods at present. But if there are only two gods, if Zhidong dares to confront Liyue head-on...

The less severe consequence is that Zhidong may have to welcome the third generation of the Ice God. Of course, the more likely possibility is that the seven kingdoms will become six, and Zhidong will return to Liyue.

As far as Ningguang knows, the Marshal has always wanted to study whether the soil in winter is suitable for farming...

So if the situation that Ningguang described really happened, well... the Marshal might laugh very happily.

So even Ningguang herself felt that she was being too cautious, even overthinking.

Ningguang herself thought this reason was unnecessary.

Therefore, the real situation is:

"Eh? The Rock Emperor came to me in a dream!" Paimon's eyes widened and he exclaimed.

"So the story about the Emperor's death was indeed fake." Ying also expressed her shock.

Just now, they learned a shocking fact.

Ningguang admitted that her explanation of being worried about the Fatui taking action first was just an excuse. The real reason was that on the night of the Immortal Summoning Ceremony, she saw the Emperor in her dream.

He claimed to be the lingering spirit of the late emperor, and came specifically to instruct Ningguang not to let anyone see his body, including immortals, as the emperor did not want anyone to miss him.

The people of Liyue should look forward.

【Everyone burst into laughter, family members. Zhongli is really going to any lengths to get his own meal! 】

[It has not yet been confirmed that Zhongli is the Geo God, although it is almost a foregone conclusion. ]

[Emperor: I defended against everyone, but I couldn't defend against the animated short film released by MiHoYo. ]

[Zhongli: Before I eat my own meal, no one can see my corpse! ]

“…After all, he claimed to be the Emperor’s divine consciousness, and after I woke up, I found that although I agreed to it in a dream, I did sign a contract with the Emperor.”

“Therefore, I can only find a reason to prevent the immortals from looking for the whereabouts of the Immortal Ancestor Fa Tu.”

"However, as a mere mortal, I cannot speculate on whether the Emperor has passed away."

Ningguang explained.

This is the truth of the matter.

"Okay, okay. Since that's the case, we will keep it a secret for you." Ying said, not knowing how to react.

Although there have always been speculations, it still takes time to digest the shocking truth that is suddenly revealed.

"I know so much information all at once, I feel like my brain can't handle it all." Paimon said, holding his head. "Ms. Ningguang, can we stop here for this time?"

"I think it's not appropriate for her and I to continue to accept new information at this time."

Ningguang chuckled and said, "Of course it's no problem, but... I have already told you all I know."

"Then Miss Ningguang, we'll be leaving first. Goodbye." Ying said, and then took Paimeng out of the Jade Pavilion.

"Wait a minute." Ningguang suddenly called out to the two of them.

"I will always return gifts to guests who bring gifts. You two not only sent gifts, but also brought such important news..."

"If I don't give you something in return, it would be a bit unreasonable." Ningguang said with a smile, "As a return gift, you two can choose one of my favorite things to take away."

[The rich woman speaks with generosity. Everything in this room is a priceless antique in real life.]

[You are so polite! You even gave me a gift in return... Can I have the Qun Yu Pavilion? ]

[Really? Then I like you, Ningguang. Can you come home with me and be my wife? ]

[Isn't the previous eating and taking a little too much? 】

"Really?" Paimon's eyes were full of stars, and he subconsciously looked at the paper on the wall.

The scraps of paper without key information are worthless, but what about a whole piece of paper? The merchants in Liyue Harbor will definitely be interested, right?

“Miss Ningguang, you are too polite. Paimon and I don’t know how to identify antiques or appreciate cultural relics. If we really take something from your room, we will sell it in the antique shop in Liyue Harbor.”

"If you really want to return the favor, why not just give me something tangible?"

Ying stopped Paimon's idea from being put into action and spoke first.

"Of course no problem." Ningguang said with a smile.

After a while, Ying and Paimeng walked out of the Jade Pavilion with eight million Moras.

The "little" Mora that Ningguang casually picked out was already a huge sum of money that would take a long time for the two of them to earn.

"I feel like the potted plants in Ningguang's office are worth more than eight million Mora." Paimon felt like he was at a loss.

"If you had chosen the paper on that wall, we wouldn't even get eight million Mora." Ying was very satisfied.

After all, the gift was sent by Chen Yuan, and the news was all obtained from Jun Bai. This trip was equivalent to running errands and getting 8 million Mora for free.

Ying always remembered what Jun Bai said, Ningguang was a businessman. If she really took something as Ningguang said, Ying was sure that she would have to return it later.

Taking the 8 million Mora "tip" is like owing the merchant a favor after taking the 100 million Mora.

Ying still thinks the former is better.

"You two, please stay."

A female voice called out to the two of them, but this time it wasn't Ningguang, but a woman in black that Ying and Paimon didn't recognize.

So she didn't leave the Qun Yu Pavilion?

"Excuse me, are you the Traveler and Paimon?" Yun Chang came in front of the two of them and said, "Nice to meet you. I am Yun Chang, the deputy of Gui Li Ji Zi Wei Xing."

Ying and Paimon looked at each other, not knowing why the other party was looking for them, but out of politeness, they introduced themselves:

"Hello, I'm her guide Paimon."

"Hello, I'm the traveler Ying."

"Hello, you two. I've heard my brother mention you two."

Yun Shang added: "My brother is Gui Li Ji Zi Wei Xing Xuan Jian."

"Oh, so you are Xuanjian's sister. I was wondering if you looked familiar to me." Paimeng suddenly realized.

"I wonder if Miss Yunshang has something to do with us?" Ying asked.

"You two are friends of the Marshal. There's no need to be so distant. Just call me Yunshang." Yunshang said, "I'm looking for you two because I have a commission that requires your help."
