Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

Because what he just said was actually just casual conversation with Ah Qing, and he didn't mean anything else.

Ah Qing seems to have misunderstood something and is planning to tell me the information about the Blood Jade Branch. Hmm... I'm a little curious.

"You said it doesn't matter whether it's real or fake." Su Hao was very curious. Besides the Blood Jade Branch on Ruo Tuo's body, where else could this thing be found?

Although Keqing said that this information was most likely false, there was also a certain probability that what the other party said was true.

Chapter Ninety-Six: The Young Master Invites Guests?

Not only Su Hao was curious, but even Ella and Shinobu Kuji were curious about why Keqing knew all this.

At this moment, Ella and Shinobu Kuji are unaware that Keqing is the Jade Balance Star among the Seven Stars; they only know that the other party's identity is not simple.

Neither of them expected that Keqing would know information about what appeared to be the Blood Jade Branch; this was truly surprising.

"It is said that a large number of juvenile rock dragons and rock dragons have recently appeared at the junction of Nantianmen and Tianqiu Valley."

Ke Qing didn't keep them in suspense. In her opinion, since Su Hao had told her such important information, she should reciprocate in some way.

Furthermore, while this intelligence is important, it's not as crucial as one might imagine, because its main point is that it poses a significant danger to ordinary people.

Judging from the demeanor of Shinobu Hisaki and Ella, they are quite strong, and there is also the Thousand Rock Army stationed there. Basically, as long as they don't do anything foolish, nothing serious will happen.

"A large number of baby rock dragons and rock dragons have appeared? Those things travel in groups? That's a real headache."

When Kuki Shinobu heard this, she frowned slightly. When she was studying in Liyue, she had also encountered the unique monsters of the area.

After all, she had fought monsters of the same caliber as baby rock dragons and rock dragons before within Liyue.

This monster's most striking feature is... its hardness! Extreme hardness! Just like hitting a rock.

If it weren't for Shinobu Hisaki possessing the Eye of the Lightning Element and the Shrine Maiden's Magic, she probably wouldn't have been able to break through the defenses of monsters like the Baby Rock Dragon Lizard and the Rock Dragon Lizard.

The baby rock dragons were fine, but the rock dragons were much tougher than I had imagined.

However, Shinobu Kyuuki merely frowned, because she knew that she was the weakest member of the team.

Ella and Su Hao are much stronger than me. I only need to play a support role. There's no need for me to fight to the death with the baby rock dragons and rock dragons like I did back then.

"Ah."

Judging from Shinobu's expression, Keqing knew that the other party clearly knew about the existence of the baby rock dragon and the rock dragon.

With such an expert present, Keqing didn't waste any more words. She continued, "Originally, young rock dragons and rock dragons don't travel in groups. In the wild, we usually only see a few lone ones."

“But recently, a large number of juvenile rock dragons and rock dragons have appeared in the area where Nantianmen and Tianqiu Valley meet, so I suspect that the legendary ancient rock dragon has appeared.”

"Young rock dragons and rock dragons appear in large numbers to welcome their king."

At this point, Ke Qing looked at Su Hao seriously and said, "The Blood Jade Branch you want may require the blood of the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard to cultivate. If you encounter the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard over there, do not rush to fight it."

"It would be best to report to the Thousand Rock Army. As the person who discovered the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard, you will definitely receive a large reward. If the blood of the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard can indeed produce Blood Jade Branches, then you will certainly receive several as well."

Despite saying that, Ke Qing didn't think Su Hao and the others could find the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard.

The reason is simple: the ancient rock dragon lizard disappeared after the dragon disaster, and hundreds of years have passed since then.

Although the young rock dragons and rock dragons appear to be traveling in groups, this phenomenon has occurred more than once in Liyue, so it is not a rare occurrence.

Scholars from Sumeru have investigated this, and it is said that this is the process by which a young rock dragon transforms into a rock dragon.

This is because the number of rock dragons increases each time the young rock dragons start to act together with the rock dragons.

Then Qianyan Army's workload also increased significantly.

“Okay.” Su Hao readily agreed. In fact, he knew more about the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard than Ke Qing did.

The Ancient Rock Dragon is described in the game as an earth-shaking dragon that awakened from a long slumber, a rock dragon that once shook mountains alongside the "Dragon King".

As for the "Dragon King," it's probably Ruo Tuo. His strength should be much weaker than Ruo Tuo's, and their relationship is probably similar to that of Zhong Li and the Li Yue Immortal.

As luck would have it, the place Keqing mentioned was precisely where the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard had awakened.

Therefore, it is no coincidence that a large number of baby rock dragons and rock dragons appeared there. They probably sensed something in the dark, so they gathered there in groups.

"What? What are you talking about?"

Just then, Xiangling arrived with Guoba (a type of rice crust), and Wanmintang (a restaurant chain) finished its business.

Su Hao and the others had already finished eating and were just discussing things and digesting what they had in their stomachs.

"We are discussing..."

Hisaki Shinobu briefly explained what they had just discussed.

"Oh~ over there!"

When Xiangling heard about Nantianmen and Tianqiu Valley, she thought that Su Hao and the others were going there next. She said enthusiastically, "I am very familiar with that place. I can take you there. I was just planning to go there to collect ingredients."

"I heard that the Jueyun Pepper, Slime, and Sweet Flower are growing very well over there. I'm planning to go there tomorrow."

Hearing Xiangling's words, Su Hao, who hadn't really considered it before, thought that going out for a trip was worthwhile.

With most of the business in Liyue Harbor completed, and having come all this way, how could I not take a look at the scenery of Liyue?

Thinking of this, Su Hao nodded and looked at Xiang Ling, saying, "Alright, but the Immortal Invitation Ceremony is in a few days. I plan to return to Liyue before that day."

Su Hao was quite looking forward to the Summoning Immortals Ceremony, because he knew that after this ceremony, it would be impossible to see a proper Summoning Immortals Ceremony again.

Because next year, Zhongli, or rather Morax, will give Ningguang a big surprise.

"Hmm."

Xiangling glanced at Keqing beside her. She knew that the ceremony to invite the immortals was personally organized by Yuheng Star, which was Keqing herself.

She naturally couldn't miss this ceremony to invite the immortals.

And going there will take at most half a day, and a round trip will take about two days, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

They will definitely be able to attend this ceremony to invite the immortals. Even if something unexpected happens, it's okay, they can still participate next year.

"See you tomorrow." Su Hao looked at Xiangling and Guoba and said, "We're near the Hall of Rebirth. Once you're ready, you can come find us."

"Of course, we can also come to Wanmintang to find you, but the specific time will depend on you."

Xiangling quickly waved her hand, saying that she would come to find Su Hao and the others herself, and that she didn't need to prepare anything.

And so, the plan to visit Nantianmen and Tianqiu Valley the next day was decided.

After a brief chat, Su Hao and the other two got up to say goodbye, and Ke Qing also indicated that she was leaving.

Xiangling waved goodbye to Guoba, indicating that they would see each other again tomorrow.

On the way back, Su Hao rubbed his stomach and exclaimed, "I'm so full. Xiangling's cooking is still amazing."

“Yes.” Hisa Shinobu agreed, saying calmly, “Originally, Manmindo was a fairly famous restaurant, but it was only after Xiangling appeared that Manmindo truly became popular.”

"It is said that with Xiangling alone, Wanmintang is now qualified to compete with Liuliting and Xinyuexuan for business, and the dishes she creates are indeed attractive enough to attract people to come and taste them."

Kuki Shinobu had never thought that slimes could be eaten before, but she realized this after eating Xiangling's dishes.

Therefore, in a sense, Xiangling is similar to herself; both are people who dare to break through the status quo.

"……………………"

Ella remained silent, quietly studying the manual for the perfect and elegant maid, intending to quickly prepare a meal that would please the young master.

"as well as."

At this moment, Hisaki Shinobu turned her gaze to Ella and slowly said, "Ella, aren't you curious about what the shopkeeper's daughter said?"

As Hisagi Shinobu spoke, Su Hao and Ella simultaneously turned their gazes to her.

"You mean the store manager's daughter said Ella looked familiar?" Su Hao thought that Hisa Shinobu was probably referring to this.

In fact, Su Hao was also quite concerned about this matter. If it were a man saying this to Ella...

Su Hao probably rolled up his sleeves, put on a friendly smile, and put one hand on the other person's shoulder, indicating that he looked familiar to the young man and that he felt like his enemy.

The store manager's daughter is a beautiful girl, although she is very ordinary in terms of figure and appearance.

Judging from her appearance, she probably doesn't have any strange or unusual hobbies; she probably just finds Ella familiar.

So here's the question: why would a Liyue person find an Inazuma person familiar?

If we rule out all the impossibilities, there is only one possibility: the store manager's daughter may have actually seen Ella somewhere.

Alternatively, Ella may have lived in Liyue Harbor as a child. Although it is unknown why she ran to Inazuma, Inazuma did not have a lockdown order at the time.

It's quite possible that she was taken to Inazuma Castle, but it's unclear why she lost her memory, ended up on the streets, and nearly froze to death.

"Hmm." Hisaki Shinobu nodded, her gaze turning to the calm-faced Ella. After a moment's hesitation, she finally asked, "Ella, aren't you curious?"

"Why are you curious?" Ella shook her head. She knew what Hisaru meant. She said calmly, "I'm not curious about my background, and I don't care about my lost memories at all."

"Whether I'm from Liyue or Inazuma, my ultimate goal will never change."

Ella was smart, or rather, she vaguely realized something, although she knew that contacting the shopkeeper's daughter would be a bad idea.

You might find your lost past experiences, but once you find the past, it might bring all sorts of trouble.

Of course, it may bring various benefits, but these things are very likely to ruin one's current life.

People are selfish, and Ella is very selfish, which is why she avoids contact with the shopkeeper's daughter—it's an instinctive rejection of her past.

"........."

Su Hao looked at Ella's calm expression, a hint of contemplation flashing in his eyes.

"Young Master." Ella looked at Su Hao and said very seriously, "I just need to stay by your side."

Having spent several years together, Ella knew what kind of person Su Hao was, so she took the initiative and told the young master that she didn't need his past memories.

I don't want to know what happened to me in the past.

"I understand."

Knowing Ella's wishes, Su Hao didn't force her. If the person involved didn't care, what could he say?

"Hmm." Ella smiled. It was so good that the young master respected her choice.

If the young master says he needs to regain his past memories, she will do so, because Su Hao saved her life.
