This is understandable, as today is the send-off ceremony for the Geo Archon, and the entire Liyue region is shrouded in sorrow.

Everyone knows that in the era of the Emperor, the contracts of the immortals have disappeared, which is a very sad thing.

Only Hu Tao was smart enough to think that today was not a day of sadness, but rather a day of celebration.

But now that Su Hao and his group have left the Liuli Pavilion, Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief, radiating an aura of relief.

"Haha... Xiao, you've really had it tough." Paimon looked at Xiao and showed a rather helpless expression, indicating that the other party was really having a hard time.

The fact that he didn't lose his composure in the face of that scene was enough to earn Paimon's thumbs up.

P.S.: "Looking for an apartment in Hangzhou today was exhausting!!! I finally found one!! Once I finish the last few things tomorrow, I can speed up my writing!"

Chapter 494 Purple Exclamation Mark!

"So... you already knew."

Upon hearing Paimon's words, Xiao, being quite intelligent, immediately understood that Paimon and the Traveler knew the identities of the "adults."

This is normal, though, since the Traveler is from outside the world of Teyvat, and her strength has decreased considerably.

But it didn't completely disappear; her vision and the intuition of a strong person were enough for her to see through many things.

“Yes, we know.” Paimon nodded seriously, feeling there was nothing to hide.

Since Xiao already knows the true identities of Zhongli and the others, doesn't he?

Otherwise, why would Xiao, who is usually taciturn, have been speaking so earnestly to Naxida, Ruotu Dragon King, Lei Yingdian, and others at the dinner table?

Anyone with even a slightly focused eye could sense that Xiao was treating Su Hao's table of "people" with great seriousness and earnestness.

Yes, Paimon can understand, because everyone at that table has at least [Demon God level] combat power!

Moreover, apart from Ella, Black Ella, and the Dragon King Rota, the others there are all gods who govern the mortal world.

Well, Su Hao can be considered half a ruler in the mortal world.

"You've really worked hard." Su Hao also felt that Xiao had worked too hard. Xiao, who had been fighting against evil spirits and demons for thousands of years, probably had never felt that eating a meal could be so difficult.

On the battlefield, the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons will never retreat even half a step!

But at this dinner party, the mighty Demon-Slaying Great Sage, General Jinpeng, was forced to retreat repeatedly.

Of course, Su Hao could understand Xiao's feelings. If it were him, he would probably feel even more pressure.

Who could stand this?! The Seven Gods were taking turns toasting me!

Moreover, Xiao is someone who seems aloof but is actually honest and shy.

"Hu Tao didn't mean it, don't blame him," Ying said on Hu Tao's behalf.

Because what Hu Tao did today was indeed a bit unethical, but from a third-party perspective...

The other party was indeed acting out of kindness, inviting the Great Sage Who Subdued Demons, as well as his friends and even asking Su Hao to bring a group of people over for dinner.

But who would have thought that they would actually bring over the gods of wind, rock, thunder, and grass?

"Yes, I know." Xiao naturally wouldn't blame Hu Tao, because he could sense that Hu Tao genuinely admired him.

Otherwise, Hu Tao wouldn't have forced everyone to toast him, even though this toast almost brought out the karmic burden he had suppressed for many years.

Even so, Xiao wouldn't blame Kurumi, because he wouldn't blame someone for such a "trivial matter".

"This can only be blamed on Zhongli, Wendy, and Ruoduo." Paimon spread his hands, indicating that if anyone was to blame, it was only them.

"No!"

Xiao became agitated again and said decisively, "Those officials were not wrong, but things happened too suddenly, and none of us had time to react."

Su Hao nodded slightly and looked at Xiao with a light smile, "Indeed, to be honest, I didn't expect you to come, but it's fortunate that it was you."

"If it were True Lord Liuyun Borrowing Wind, or some other immortal, they would probably have given themselves away in that situation."

Yes, Su Hao felt fortunate that the immortal who came today was Xiao, who showed no outward signs of emotional fluctuation.

If it were the True Lord Liuyun Borrowing Wind, or the True Lords Xiaoyue Zhuyang and Lishui Dieshan, the three of them would definitely reveal a great deal of their true colors.

Of course, here "clues" refers to the kind that even a walnut could detect.

There's no way around it; they're incredibly rigid, and getting them to act or lie is extremely difficult.

Among them, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun's acting skills might be a little better, but in a sense, her speech is still quite direct.

Well, he's definitely a master of conversation!

Both Shen He and Gan Yu were somewhat afraid that Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun would speak, because they might end up talking about the two of them.

Fortunately, it was Xiao; otherwise, the situation today would have become extremely complicated.

For example... eating at the banquet of the Rock King Emperor!

It evolved into the Rock King Emperor eating at his own banquet!

"That's true." Xiao nodded in deep agreement; those old friends were indeed showing signs of their true colors.

However, this is quite normal; even they had never seen such a scene in the long course of time.

“However, today is also a very special day.” Xiao looked at Su Hao, forced a smile, and said, “When Fu She is resurrected, he will definitely be very happy to know this scene.”

“I am ready to record the meaningful things and tell them to Fushe slowly after he is resurrected.”

Xiao's days are now quite fulfilling, and he is filled with renewed hope for the future.

Because of his resurrection, the wear and tear on King Ruoduo was removed, and a wisp of Fushe's remnant soul was protected.

Liyue is currently advancing rapidly in a direction that Xiao cannot understand.

But no matter where they go, as long as their elder brother Fushe is still around, the Dragon King Ruoduo will not be sealed away by the Emperor due to wear and tear, and will always be alive and kicking.

Then Xiao will be motivated to protect Liyue and will devote more attention to visiting the place he is protecting.

"Hmm~" Paimon nodded with a smile. She really felt that Xiao had started to exude a different kind of vitality after returning from the Abyss of the Rocky Mountains.

And whether it was Paimon's imagination or not, Xiao's complexion was getting better and better, unlike at the beginning when he looked like he had something on his mind.

"Fushe would be very pleased to know you're like this," Ying said, glancing to the side.

In the chat group nearby, she silently relayed Xiao's words to him.

Fu She, being the elder brother, laughed heartily after learning that Xiao had been forced to drink with the Emperor and other gods.

He said that once he is resurrected, he will immediately go and mock Jinpeng, because it's just too funny.

If Fushe were the person involved, he certainly wouldn't be laughing, but this time it's Jinpeng who's suffering, and as his good older brother, he'll definitely have to make a good laugh.

“…Indeed.” Su Hao also took a moment to glance at the chat group. Even through the screen, he could feel Fu She’s genuine smile.

"Alright, I've eaten and drunk my fill today, it's time for me to leave."

Xiao also didn't intend to continue the topic, because he was afraid that if they continued talking for too long...

It would be fine if the Emperor and the other officials came out, but the real problem is that the 77th generation head of the Hall of Rebirth might come out and drag me back.

To be honest, Xiao was actually a little afraid of Hu Tao, whose personality was almost identical to that of Lord Gui Zhong.

No wonder the Emperor couldn't do anything about her.

Su Hao looked at Xiao and said, "Be careful on the road. If anything happens, please let us know immediately."

"Yes." Ying thought so too; Liyue wasn't exactly peaceful at the moment.

Oser and the Eight Dragons broke the seal, and the aura of the demon god descended upon the land of Liyue once again, which brought a lot of unnecessary trouble.

A large group of normally gentle monsters suddenly became quite irritable.

The remnants of the demon god, which had been suppressed, also erupted at this moment, corrupting and strengthening a bunch of demons.

"Bye-bye~~~" Paimon waved to Xiao.

Xiao nodded seriously, then turned his back, accompanied by a 'whoosh!' sound.

He then disappeared from the spot.

After Xiao left, Paimon remarked, "Xiao is incredibly fast, appearing and disappearing like a ghost. He always said that if you encounter danger, just call his name and he will appear."

"If we go to Inazuma and encounter real danger, will he appear if we call his name?"

Paimon's focus is always rather quirky.

"Paimon..." Ying looked at Paimon with some helplessness, wondering if the other's thinking was a bit too strange.

He's a Liyue master, not an Inazuma master. How could he possibly appear just because Inazuma calls his name?

“He won’t come.” Su Hao said with certainty, “Even if Xiao hears me calling out to Inazuma, he will be powerless to do anything because no matter how good the relationship between Liyue and Inazuma is.”

"High-end combat forces cannot enter the territory without a reason. Even if the Fools' executives want to enter various countries, they will notify them in advance, otherwise things will become quite troublesome later."

"Of course~ My situation when I went to Sumeru was different, so we can't confuse the two."

While Su Hao was speaking, Paimon was already thinking of saying something.

As soon as Paimon opened his mouth, Su Hao knew what the other was thinking. He was just complaining about him secretly sneaking into Sumeru.

But there was nothing that could be done about it; if they hadn't sneaked in, they would have entered Sumeru through the proper channels.

I'm afraid that as soon as he enters, the Great Sage will try every means to stop him outside Sumeru City. At that time, will Su Hao force his way in or not?

"Hahaha...that's true." Paimon laughed awkwardly, then suddenly realized something, her eyes widening as she exclaimed, "Su Hao, do you have mind-reading abilities?!"

"How did you know what I was going to say so quickly?"

Ying looked at Paimon with a somewhat subtle expression and sighed, "Your expression is too easy to guess. I guessed it right away."

"Haha~" Su Hao chuckled, looking at Ying and Paimon and said, "But in Inazuma, you can pronounce the names of Shin and Kage, or if that doesn't work, shout 'Yae no Miko'."

"Anyway, if they sense it, they will definitely turn their attention to it and try to take action."

"Although the Divine Child is weak in strength, she is very strong in other aspects. She can always provide you with help in unexpected ways."

In fact, Yae no Miko is not weak, but after arriving at Inazuma and obtaining the lightning element, her strength will definitely increase significantly.

After all, lightning is the most lethal of the seven elements.

While fire is also powerful, lightning is superior in terms of ultimate attack power.

It is foreseeable that after Ying obtains the lightning element, her overall strength will definitely increase again, especially if she encounters an insurmountable crisis later on.
