The blame is right here; it's just a matter of who has the power to shift it and who will ultimately bear the consequences.
Everyone is quite simple and honest, except for Dada Duck, who has the most ulterior motives now. It would be best to shift the blame onto him.
"The Fools?"
Upon hearing this, Ke Qing's expression immediately turned serious.
This was also her guess. Even though her words just now pointed to the Hall of Rebirth, everyone knew that the Kingdom of Zhidong acted domineeringly, and it was no secret that the Empress of Zhidong was plotting to seize the hearts of the gods of the other six kingdoms.
"Hey~"
"I suddenly remembered that the lady who appeared in Mondstadt earlier was also after the Heart of the Wind God. So, it seems that the murderer who assassinated the Rock Lord might really be the Fatui?"
Wendy chuckled, adding fuel to the fire, and watched the spectacle with amusement.
Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to D'Artagnan.
Dadalia lived in Bengbu.
Was it I who harmed the Rock King Emperor?
If I were that capable of taking down Morax without a sound, would I have needed to plot in Liyue for so long?
But now, he looked at Wendy, then at Chu Luo, and finally at Zhong Li: "Mr. Zhong Li, I'm not that kind of person, you... know that, right?"
Damn it, that Barbatos is deadly.
Even if the lady took the Heart of Anemo, Tartaglia could still sense danger from Wendy; she can't shirk responsibility for this.
Not to mention the group leader, the lady had reminded herself that the group leader's strength was no less than that of the Wind God.
Then there's only Mr. Zhongli left. I'm not as eloquent as Mr. Zhongli. What should I do?
“Yes, Mr. D'Artagnan is very generous. I don’t think he’s that kind of person.”
Zhongli pondered for a moment, many things on his mind.
The one million gold card has already been used to pay off the debt, and I also bought 500,000 Mora worth of tea. I'm a bit short on cash lately, so I can't let D'Artagnan leave right now.
The list provided by the hall master was very high-end and represented a considerable expense; the bill had not yet been settled.
What does the group admin mean?
The situation reached a stalemate, and Ningguang looked at Chu Luo, wanting to hear his opinion.
Determined not to spoil the plot, Chu Luo looked at Ning Guang and Ke Qing and smiled slightly: "This matter is still unclear. We are all probably involved, and discussing it like this won't lead to any conclusions."
"I told Ah Qing before that I had a good idea. Do you remember that traveler from another land?"
Ningguang and Keqing, travelers from afar, thought for a moment and then understood.
Is the blonde traveler Yingmei being referred to as her?
"What does the group admin mean?"
Ke Qing asked.
"Just use a few hundred Mora, or a treasure chest, to spread the word, and someone will investigate. Let's get back to what we were doing."
Chu Luo timely reminded them, "Immortals aren't so easy to deal with, are they?"
……
On the streets of Liyue's main city, a blonde beauty walks with an emergency food ration.
"Ying, what should we do now?"
Paimon shrugged: "It's really strange. The Geo Archon of Liyue just suddenly disappeared. Who could possibly harm a god so quietly?"
"What should we do about your brother's situation? Where can we find out?"
Yingmei has been adventuring in the wild these past few days, opening treasure chests, earning Mora, and fighting Hilichurls. She only arrived in Liyue Harbor last night.
I got up early to catch the invocation ceremony, and with Paimon by my side, I witnessed this breathtaking scene.
The Geo Archon is gone, it just disappeared out of nowhere, what should we do?
"I have a feeling that something is wrong with this."
Yingmei frowned and seriously discussed with Paimon: "Seven Stars' reaction is a bit strange. Miss Tianquan Ningguang doesn't seem very flustered. I think there's more to it than meets the eye."
"Let's go to the General Affairs Department and ask around, Paimon, what do you think?"
Although Paimon has a big appetite, he is also the best friend.
"Yes, I also think it's better to inquire. Even if we don't end up meeting the Rock King Emperor, at least we might be able to find out some information by meeting the Seven Stars."
Paimon nodded and chuckled, "By the way, Chu Luo arrived a few days earlier than us. I heard he's staying at the Hall of Rebirth. Shall we go find him tonight?"
"You don't want to sleep in the wild, do you?"
"Hehe~ Let's go, the General Affairs Department is just ahead~"
At the entrance of the General Affairs Department, Keqing stood with her arms crossed, deep in thought. Behind her was the curtain of the General Affairs Department, which was made of individual Mora strings together and bore traces of elemental power.
To the average person, it appears to be just an ordinary curtain, but if someone uses elemental vision to investigate, they will discover these Mora.
Is this really effective for catching Paimon?
Ke Qing became suspicious.
An hour had passed since the meeting ended. D'Artagnan had been released on bail by Zhongli and was not imprisoned. Of course, the Mora was still provided by the Northern Bank.
Feeling confused and bewildered, Ke Qing was heartbroken that the Emperor was gone.
But now is not the time to be sad. We must pull ourselves together to investigate the murderer, deal with the Celestials' questions, and ensure that Liyue Harbor remains as stable and orderly as ever.
Without the Emperor's presence, this period is destined to be anything but peaceful.
However, Ningguang was even calmer than him, and she even said something inexplicable to comfort him before leaving.
What you see may not be true, and what you hear may not be false.
What does it mean?
Given the major events that just happened, including the Emperor's death, Ningguang's implication is that the Emperor is alright?
But Keqing had personally confirmed that it was indeed the Emperor's mortal body, so Ningguang was probably just comforting herself.
Just as I was thinking about these messy things, a blonde girl suddenly appeared at the entrance of the General Affairs Department, followed by a surprised voice.
"Wow, that's so extravagant, so many Mora!"
"Mora used for door curtains, Liyue truly lives up to its reputation as a place abundant in Mora. Ying, do you think there's a lot of Mora hidden inside these wooden doors and beds?"
Paimon's eyes gleamed, his pupils turning into the shape of Mora, as he stared intently at the curtain of the General Affairs Department.
She had just noticed the flow of elemental traces, so she had Yingmei activate her elemental vision. They collected dozens of Mora along the way and arrived at the entrance of the General Affairs Department.
"You guys really came!"
Keqing looked at Yingmei and Paimon with a strange expression, her face showing both surprise and acceptance, inwardly praising the group leader's awesomeness.
Yingmei also noticed Keqing's expression, and when she saw Paimon hanging on the curtain, she couldn't help but cover her forehead.
Something's definitely not right!
Chapter 162 Chu Luo: Seeking Death
The first largest group in Teyvat.
[Gan Yu: The article is finished. Ms. Ningguang, would you like to post it here? @Ningguang]
[Ningguang: No problem. This matter is of great importance and should be made public.]
Gan Yu: Mm-hmm
[Gan Yu: Obituary: The Geo Archon was assassinated today at Yujing Terrace at the age of over six thousand years. Looking back on those six thousand years, the Archon remained steadfast and unwavering throughout his life, dedicating himself to Liyue with boundless devotion. We deeply mourn his sudden passing. Please be on the lookout for any suspicious individuals who have recently traveled to or are currently in Liyue. If you discover any, please inform the Liyue General Affairs Department. —Liyue Seven Stars]
[Kaiya: What?]
Amber: The Geo Archon of Liyue... No way? [Shocked]
[Qin: This is so sudden. The oldest deity in the mortal world has met such a fate... Miss Ningguang, please accept my condolences. [sad]]
[Arataki Kazuto: What? You're kidding, right? [Serious face][Disbelieving]]
[Yae no Miko: May the Rock King Emperor never be harmed again [hands clasped together]]
[Ayaka Kamisato: Mourning the fall of the Geo Archon [Hands clasped together]]
[Hu Tao: Ahem, although the atmosphere is a bit tense right now, I still have to announce something. The funeral for the Rock King Emperor will be entirely handled by the Rebirth Hall. From tomorrow until seven days from now, you are all welcome to attend the banquet at the Rebirth Hall. [Thank you for your cooperation]]
[Thoma: This...isn't this a bit disrespectful to the deceased? [cough]]
[Venti: Hey, I don't see any problem with it. Isn't this Liyue's rule?]
[Xiangling: Even so, everyone is still very sad... [sad]]
[Keqing: Don't say things like that here. Post the invitation later, @Hutao]
[Hu Tao: Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural course of life. Live happily while you're alive, and reincarnate without regrets after death. What's wrong with that?]
[Yōgō: That seems to make sense. Grief won't solve anything. The Rock King was murdered. The funeral arrangements and finding the killer are both important. Let's leave the sadness for later. Good luck!]
[Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun: Easier said than done. How do you know what the Emperor means to Liyue? [Angry]]
[True Lord of the Moonlit Pavilion: The Seven Stars of Liyue bear undeniable responsibility for the Emperor's death. Such a drastic change in the Immortal Invocation Ceremony is simply unforgivable!]
[Kaiya: Who are you people? [Confused]]
[Yanfei: He's a Liyue immortal, the Three-Eyed, Five-Manifestation Immortal, do you know that? @Kaeya]
[True Lord of Die Shui and Die Shan: Girl from the Hall of Rebirth, for the sake of your ancestors, this immortal will not hold it against you. Such words are not spoken lightly. @Hu Tao]
[Hu Tao: Am I wrong? [Disagree]]
[Xiao: Boring, ignoring @HuTao]
[Grandma Ping: Sigh, I'm already so old and I still have to watch you all argue like this. Nobody wants to see this kind of thing. Why do you have to make things difficult for the younger generation? @LiuyunJiefengZhenjun @LishuiDieshanZhenjun @XiaoyueZhuyangZhenjun]
[Xiangling: The head chef is also in the group [eyes wide open]]
[Crispy Rice: Glug~]
[Yanfei: Grandma, what are you doing here? Were you watching us talk the whole time? [Shocked]]
