Ningguang looked at Yingmei in the crowd, wondering if this was the reason why she was wanted by Liyue. Yingmei, who was being stared at, looked blank.
Paimon's expression began to panic: "Why is Ningguang looking at us? Does she suspect that we did this?"
Yingmei managed to maintain her composure: "Don't panic, we're innocent!"
"As long as you stay calm, nothing will happen!"

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Has the Opportunity for Change Arrived? A Tragic End!
At the scene of the summoning ceremony, after the initial shock, Ningguang gradually calmed down and realized that something was wrong. Putting aside the fact that the death of a demon god would trigger an energy tide, with the abilities of the Rock King Emperor, who could kill Him silently?
However, regardless of the circumstances, the incarnation of the Emperor ultimately fell from the sky in full view of everyone, and she, as the host of the ritual to invite the immortals, had to give an explanation.
Ningguang gestured for the people in the square to quiet down, and also indicated that something was amiss and that the specific reasons needed to be investigated.
He then approached Yingmei and Paimon, giving them a task: to go to Jueyun Pavilion to explain the matter to the immortals and invite them to investigate together.
******
Interestingly, before Yingmei and Paimon, who had accepted the commission, had gone far, D'Artagnan jumped down from Mount Tianheng and immediately revealed his identity: the last of the Eleven Executors of the Fools, codenamed Prince.
Upon learning that the two planned to go to Jueyun Mountain, he immediately mentioned the "Unfettered Talisman," saying that it was an essential item for visiting immortals, but he didn't have it with him at the moment and needed to go to the Northern Bank to get it.
In fact, he carried the "Unfettered Talisman" on him, but he didn't take it out because it would arouse too much suspicion.
Moreover, some things are not suitable to be discussed in a setting like Yujingtai. After arriving at the Northern Bank, he also smiled and expressed his guess:
"If I'm not mistaken, it must be that Ningguang from Tianquan Star entrusted the two of you to inform the immortals, right?"
"Knowing that visiting immortals requires a talisman that allows one to refrain from all taboos, he did not mention this matter."
"Although the final result will not change, the process of notifying the immortals will undoubtedly be extended indefinitely."
"Liyue Qixing's thoughts..."
"Tsk, this is really puzzling."
Paimon was horrified after hearing this: "You mean... this whole thing was actually orchestrated by the Seven Stars?"
"Hahaha!"
"Your ideas are even more radical than mine."
"But it's not impossible."
"As you can see, after the problem occurred, Tianquan Xing Ningguang went to great lengths to find the assassin during the Immortal Ceremony. But who doesn't know that those who came to observe the ceremony were all mortals? How could mortals possibly kill any martial god?"
Despite saying that, D'Artagnan also felt a sense of unspoken regret.
It's a shame he even climbed Tianheng Mountain just now, thinking he might take this opportunity to launch a sneak attack or something.
After all, the Geo Archon Morax only appears at this time of year. If he doesn't make a move this time, he'll have to wait another year. But who could have imagined that this legendary war god would just disappear so mysteriously?
"In short, the way the Liyue Seven Stars responded really makes it hard not to be suspicious."
"And if things really turn out as we think."
"It seems unlikely that this trip to visit the immortals will proceed smoothly for the two of you."
"I hope everything will be alright."
******
In his living room, Gu Jing kept drawing cards from the prize pool, repeatedly filling and emptying it, and filling it again. Apart from notifying Xiang Ling to bring him food, no one bothered him.
However, Yingmei, who was preparing to go to Jueyunjian, wanted to tell him. Just then, Gu Jing and Beidou had their lunch break. Realizing that they hadn't eaten lunch yet, Yingmei and Paimon joined the group of people who were eating.
After hearing her recount what had happened, Gu Jing couldn't help but chuckle: "To be fair, Daddy does have some quick wit."
"I'm quite surprised that you're not wanted."
"But overall it's a good thing."
Yingmei couldn't help but kick him: "Stop talking nonsense! What exactly happened?"
"Well..."
After a pause, Gu Jing looked at her with interest: "Of course, it was a good show put on by some street urchin who didn't want to go to work."
"But then again, you seem to have become dependent on me."
"Although I personally don't mind."
"But don't you mind?"
Yingmei: "..." It seems...it really is true.
Upon suddenly discovering this fact, Yingmei was inevitably a little dazed. But to be honest, it felt really good to be taken care of by him, and it was a different kind of security than what her brother gave her. But could she really control this guy?
[Regarding the dragon incident during the invocation ceremony: Don't panic, He hasn't passed away; He's just tired.]
Liyue, a land that walks alongside the gods, boasts a history of 3700 years.
In any case, 3700 years is enough time for a civilization to learn and grow.
Therefore, during last year's invocation ceremony...
[When A-Qing asked Him: "The Emperor has protected Liyue for a thousand years, but will it be the same for the next thousand years, ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years?"]
[You can feel this determination to be independent and self-reliant.]
He felt mostly relief.
But for Morax, Liyue was like a child he cherished and protected.
[They treat it like it's going to melt in their mouths.]
I was worried about dropping it and breaking it, even though I held it in my hands.
He wasn't sure if Liyue could grow up independently in its current state.
So a test question was created.
Out of respect, I'll stop here.
Has the opportunity for change arrived?
We still need everyone's continued efforts!
Liyue members: Understood!
Knowing that the Emperor was still alive, they were relieved. As for the exam questions, they had some guesses after a little thought.
And without a doubt, this time, they must deliver a perfect performance!
******
Beidou, now reassured, ate heartily, preparing to recharge and get back at him, while Yingmei and Paimon had mixed feelings.
Paimon couldn't help but ask, "If that's the case, are we still going to Jueyun Pass?"
Yingmei also looked over.
Gu Jing didn't speak, but instead wrote the answer in his diary.
Regarding the matter of being used as a tool by these Teyvats: how to put it... whenever I think about it...
I can't help but want to write the word "misery" on Yingmei's sleeve (laughs).
However, to borrow a phrase from a certain drunkard—
Travelers, journeys can be exhausting and leave you feeling lost.
When you embark on your journey again, always remember the meaning of the journey itself.
[The birds, poetry, and city-states of Teyvat; the queen, the fool, and the monsters...]
These are all part of your journey.
The destination doesn't mean everything. Before you reach the destination, use your eyes to observe the world more...
[Also, do you remember what I mentioned before?]
The Savior buff on you is now fully stacked.
But don't you have any doubts?
Even if you are a savior, why would you save a world that has nothing to do with you?
There's no necessary connection between the two, is there?
In other words—
Why should this continent of Teyvat be worth saving?
Hector knew the kingdom would eventually fall; Achilles understood he was heading towards death.
But they still went to the battlefield without hesitation.
[I'm saying this because of all you wives.]
Where's Ying?
What is Ying's reason?
[But don't forget, the protagonists of the Tree Sea Universe don't have much luck enjoying life.]
[Before Vanessa ascended to Sky Island.]
Wendy also told her, "The blood of the giant Pangu became rivers, Prusa's body was cut up and nourished the universe for life, and Ymir's brain became the sky and clouds. But the lifeless world was changed because of this. These are the myths of the 'Primordial Man'."
Even though I didn't see the ending of the story.
But without a doubt, you are now covered in flags that foreshadow your inevitable sacrifice.
Is Ying really willing to let fate lead her by the nose?
Yingmei: "..." This is really... mind-blowing, deafening.
Everyone: "..." I also want to write the word "miserable" for her now!
