Ying: "Not long ago, we encountered Yuheng Star."

Ningguang: "We met at the Guizhongji, right?"

Paimon suddenly looked a little terrified: "You haven't been peeking from the sky this whole time, have you?"

Ningguang was amused by Paimeng's words: "Haha... It's a bit difficult to peek from such a long distance, right?"

"Just rely on your ears and eyes. I am very interested in you, and it is reasonable for me to pay attention to you."

[The terminal has monitoring function (confirmed)]

[Hehe, I am Master Ningguang’s minion]

Ying: "Keqing said that Qixing would not harm the Emperor."

Ningguang nodded, understanding what Ying meant: she also didn't think Qixing would harm the Emperor.

"Well, you have a lot of dealings with immortals, so it's understandable that you don't trust us. I asked you to come this time because I want to clear up some misunderstandings."

Ying: "I don't distrust you... Luo said that the people of Liyue will never attack the Emperor."

"Hmm..." Ningguang's eyes brightened a little: "As expected of you, you are Master Xujue Sushi, but why don't you tell other immortals?"

"This is a test," Luo replied, "a test for the Seven Stars of Liyue, the Liyue Immortals, and the people of Liyue."

Ningguang thought for a moment: "A test..."

"Of course, I only told Ying this."

Luo Xiang Ningguang spread his hands and said, "As for the rest, I'll leave it to you to tell her."

"This is what I should do." Ningguang nodded slightly, looked at Ying, and said:

"You must have heard of the Demon War?"

Ying thought for a moment and said, "I just have some impression of this word."

Paimeng asked, "Is this the great war between immortals and demons that Luo mentioned in Bubulu? Qiqi was saved by the immortals after she ended the war, right?"

"That's not the same thing. The war between the demon gods was more brutal and lasted longer than the war between the immortals and demons." Ningguang shook her head and explained:

"There were many demon gods in the world, and there was a protracted war that ended two thousand years ago. During this period, lives were devastated and countless blood was shed."

"In the end, there were only seven victors left on the continent of Teyvat. They established kingdoms and city-states on the remains of the losers, and began the era of the Seven Gods."

[Seven Warring States?]

【About Wendy being the winner】

[So Liyue is already 2,000 years old? It seems to be about the same as our current time.]

[Liyue was not established after the Demon God War. Luo mentioned earlier that it was 3,700 years old.]

"Do you see the Lonely Cloud Pavilion? That is not a natural landform, but a giant rock spear cast by the Emperor during the war."

On the Jade Pavilion, Ningguang looked at the "natural" ruins on the sea in the northeast direction. The not-so-gentle wind made her white hair flutter gently.

"Under the rock spear, the emperor's defeated generals were suppressed: the former demon gods who failed to obtain the position of the Seven Gods."

"Not only will the demon gods die, but even the seven rulers of the mortal world have changed over the past two thousand years."

"The death of the Emperor is a disaster that Liyue cannot imagine, but the system of the seven gods of Teyvat... will not collapse."

[So now only Wendy, who was slacking off, is alive. This story tells us that slacking off is fun.]

[What Sima family... If you can outlast all your enemies, you will be the winner]

[These are not competitors to Wendy, maybe they are all friends. Wendy will not be happy.]

"The next Rock God will appear sooner or later, but how can we forget the Emperor?"

"By then, the relationship between the people of Liyue and the gods will definitely be different from the past."

"Even in the new era, the Seven Stars of Liyue are still the emperor's former subjects. Do you think we can bear the crime of raising a knife against the emperor?"

Ying expressed her doubts: "But why did you hide the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Transmutation?"

Ningguang chuckled and looked at the Yujing Terrace below the Qunyu Pavilion. She said, "That day at Yujing Terrace, everything happened suddenly and I was totally unprepared."

"You were at the scene, you should have seen it all."

"The enemies of the Seven Stars have long been lurking in Liyue Harbor. If we do not take action, we will be at a disadvantage."

"It is necessary to hide the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Slough. Through this, I can turn light into darkness and stop it with stillness."

[The Fatui's target is the Heart of God. If it's not hidden, the young master and the lady will come to grab it, right? ]

Paimon frowned and asked, "Who is the enemy you are talking about? Could it be him?"

Ningguang smiled even more: "It seems that the answer in your hearts is consistent with my guess."

Paimon tilted his head: "It's really him? I..."

[Young Master asked the Traveler to befriend the Immortals, and hinted that the Traveler should distance himself from the Seven Stars. Should I say that he is worthy of being the Fatui's executive officer?]

[If there was no Luo, I might still be entangled]

Ningguang interrupted, "Alright, although the scenery outside is beautiful, the wind is still a bit strong at high altitudes. Ladies and gentlemen, the hall is ready to receive our guests. Please follow me."

[Do walls have ears?]

[Can the high platform of the Jade Pavilion be monitored? I think the Fatui's methods are quite powerful.]

[Maybe just a warning? ]

After entering the hall, Ningguang and Ying exchanged some pleasantries and then got down to business:

"I ordered the news to be blocked and the immortal body to be hidden. Firstly, it was to temporarily stabilize the situation, and secondly, it was to learn from Mond's experience."

"And our situation is even worse than Mond's. The Knights of Favonius have the help of Lord Xuxu Sushi and have made preparations in advance, but we..."

Ningguang shook her head and didn't say the rest.

After all, this is a "test" from the True Lord Xucuo Sushi.

Although for some unknown reason, Lord Xuxu Sushi could even use the death of the Emperor as a test.

There are still many secrets, which seem beyond my current ability to know...

[So Qixing didn't know that Emperor Yan was faking his death? ]

[It's a test, but if they knew, would it still be a test? Then they'd think that since there's someone to back them up, it doesn't matter if they fail... or something like that.]

"The fools have taken advantage of the emperor's death to take too many secret actions that exceed the bottom line of diplomacy. As Tianquan responsible for Liyue, I no longer care about my graceful posture during the confrontation."

"Approving the preparations for the Immortal Sending Ceremony is only to buy some buffer time for the Seven Stars to fully take over Liyue."

Paimon stroked his chin with his hand and said thoughtfully, "Hmm...it's just like what Zhongli said. The Seven Stars provided the ceremony venue just because they can use us to achieve their own goals."

"Oh, right!" Paimon suddenly felt a little embarrassed, although no one else could tell that the thick-skinned Paimon was embarrassed. "Speaking of achieving our goals, there's one more thing I can say?"

Ningguang said, "You can say whatever you want."

"I heard that guests who bring gifts can get some benefits... so do we get a share?" Paimon revealed his true intentions.

Ying stared at Paimeng with a pair of dead fish eyes: "Paimeng, can't you say something else!"

[Yingmei's eyes look like she's going to kill Paimon, hahahaha]
