Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

Amidst Yan Xiao's repeated expressions of gratitude, Su Bai turned her gaze to Ying. Seeing the sweat on Ying's forehead and her heavy breathing, Su Bai's pupils contracted, and an ominous premonition began to grow in her heart.

"Luminous, don't tell me that Liyue Harbor has suffered a disaster that could destroy it."

"No, no, it's not about that, it's..."

Before Ying could finish speaking, Paimon covered her mouth and whispered something in her ear, leaving Ying puzzled.

“Ying, we can’t tell Su Bai directly. What if he can’t handle it and gets upset?”

"Um, Su Bai shouldn't be that fragile, right? Paimon, are you overthinking it?"

"It's better to be safe than sorry. If we don't handle this well, it will be troublesome if something happens to Su Bai."

Paimon's words made some sense to Ying. Su Bai couldn't afford to have any problems right now, otherwise, she would never be able to shake off the label of a wanted criminal.

"Paimon, I'll leave it to you."

"Eh? Okay... I'll try my best..."

Su Bai watched Paimon and Ying whispering to each other. Because he was still sore from being hit by Xiao, he wasn't in the mood to eavesdrop. All he wanted to do was eat a full meal and then lie on the bed to enjoy the afternoon sun.

After whispering among themselves, Ying somehow obtained a pair of small glasses without a prescription. She put the glasses on Paimon, who then flew to Su Bai's side with a pen and a piece of paper.

"Ahem, Su Bai, I, Paimon, am going to conduct a questionnaire survey. Please cooperate."

"Questionnaire? What's that? Never mind, just ask already, I'm going to rest after you're done."

Su Bai didn't turn around and leave only because of Paimon; if someone else had bothered him when he was so tired, he would have been impatient long ago.

"Ahem, first question: what would you do if an elder in your family passed away?"

"Uh, what a strange question."

Please answer Paimon's question directly.

Su Bai rolled his eyes at Paimon. This little guy dared to ask any question just because he was cute. He should know that Su Bai was an immortal, and his elders were also immortals. If other immortals heard this, Paimon would definitely be accused of disrespecting his immortal master.

"What can I do? Of course, I'll go to Hu Tao to handle the funeral. You all know that Hu Tao is an expert in this area."

Su Bai wasn't trying to fool Paimon with these words. Su Bai felt that Hu Tao was fully capable of handling such a solemn ceremony as the Sending-Off-Immortals Ceremony, and might even be more perfect than the Seven Stars'.

"What if this elder has a very high status?"

"What can I do? Of course, I'll ask Hu Tao for help. The funeral ceremony held after an immortal dies has always been the highest level of funeral service. Even if you want to go to a higher level, there's no way to do it."

"What if this immortal was assassinated?"

Before Paimon could finish speaking, Su Bai unleashed a murderous intent. If this really happened, he would make this assassin pay the price. After all, all the immortals in Liyue were his elders and treated him very well.

Wait, why would Paimon ask such a question? If he remembered correctly, today should be the Immortal Invocation Ceremony, right? Various clues connected in Su Bai's mind, and he finally arrived at a shocking conclusion: the Rock King Emperor was assassinated during the Immortal Invocation Ceremony?!

Su Bai hurriedly shook his head to erase this unrealistic idea from his mind. The Rock King Emperor was a Rock God. How could a god be assassinated? Yangpu, with his strength, was a proud and arrogant person. Such a person would not do such a despicable thing as assassination.

"Alright, alright, Paimon, you don't need to beat around the bush and test me anymore. Just say what you want to say. I'm not a three-year-old. Don't worry about me not being able to handle it."

"Um, okay, I'll just get straight to the point then."

Ying and Paimeng exchanged a glance and recounted what had happened during the Immortal Invocation Ceremony. When Su Bai heard that the Rock King Emperor had fallen from the sky and died during the ceremony, Su Bai almost fainted. The Rock King Emperor had just passed away like that? Or was he assassinated?

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Su Bai's first thought was that it was impossible. How could the Rock King Emperor, who could create a terrain like the Lonely Cloud Pavilion, be assassinated? Even if someone really wanted to assassinate the Rock King Emperor, it was impossible that there would be no trace of a battle, unless the assassin was much stronger than the Rock King Emperor.

Chapter 134 How to Deal with Xiao

"How did Ningguang handle this matter? Ningguang is the Tianquan Star. I remember that she was the one who presided over the ceremony to invite the immortals this time."

"Um, that Tianquan Star?"

Ying hesitated for a moment, wondering whether she should reveal Ningguang's solution. If Su Bai were to cause trouble for Tianquan Star and something unexpected happened, the matter would become even more complicated.

Ying's stammering puzzled Su Bai. Su Bai was a clever fox, and seeing Ying's expression, he immediately guessed that Ningguang must not have handled things very well.

"Paimon, I'll treat you to lunch. Tell me what happened back then, okay?"

"Alright, alright, that Tianquan Star said the Emperor was murdered, so the whole place is sealed off, and the Thousand Rock Army is still checking all sorts of suspicious people at Yujing Terrace."

Paimon, like a student being questioned, blurted out everything she knew. Ying wished she could shut Paimon up right now. Didn't this Paimon, whose mind was full of food, see that Su Bai's face was getting worse and worse?

Upon hearing that Ningguang had blocked the news of the enemy's deaths and even suspected Ying of being the murderer of the Emperor and issued an arrest warrant, Su Bai could hardly believe his ears.

"What is Ningguang thinking? Ying's strength is enough to kill the Rock King Emperor? If she can assassinate the Emperor, I could fucking pin that old woman Ying down and pat her butt."

"Doesn't Ningguang know that she should immediately inform the immortals? An assassin capable of killing the emperor is not someone that ordinary people like them can handle."

After hearing Paimon's description of what happened at the Immortal Summoning Ceremony, Su Bai's first reaction was that Ningguang had become stupid. His second reaction was that it was ridiculous. If Ying had the strength to assassinate the Rock King Emperor, would she be worried about a little Mora? It was truly absurd.

Hearing Su Bai's words, Ying, who was standing to the side, didn't know whether to be happy that Su Bai believed her or angry that Su Bai said she was weak.

"Calm down, calm down, Su Bai. Maybe that Tianquan Star has her own plans. After all, that Tianquan Star doesn't look like someone to be trifled with."

Seeing that Su Bai's tail fur was standing on end, Paimon hurriedly told Su Bai to calm down. Although it was the first time she had met Tianquan Star, she felt that Tianquan Star should not be as stupid as Ying, but at least as smart as Paimon.

Su Bai barely suppressed his anger. Paimon was right; Ningguang wasn't a brainless person. She must have her own plans. However, concealing the Emperor's assassination attempt was a real mistake. Faced with absolute power, any scheme is futile.

"Phew~ You probably haven't really fought against a god. The power of a god is beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

"You've been in Liyue for so many days, you must have heard of Guyun Pavilion in Liyue, right?"

Ying and Paimon exchanged a glance and nodded. They had both gone to that place to collect starshells. Someone had posted a quest at the Adventurers' Guild to find someone to collect starshells.

"Guyun Pavilion is a terrain created by the Rock King Emperor. Legend has it that Guyun Pavilion was formed after the Emperor dropped a rock spear."

"Do you really think an ordinary person can withstand such power? With Paimon's size, any god could flick him on the head and send him flying."

What the heck? Lonely Cloud Pavilion was created by the Rock God?? If Ying didn't know that Su Bai wouldn't joke about this kind of thing, she really wouldn't believe what Su Bai said.

"Hey! I'm still here! And Ying and I will help you too, we're good friends."

Ying nodded. As Su Bai's good friend, she would help Su Bai find out the truth, and she herself also needed the truth to clear her name.

"I never thought that the Emperor would leave us one day. This matter may not be as simple as it seems."

Xiao jumped down from upstairs, his tone tinged with melancholy, while Paimon and Ying were startled by the sudden appearance of the boy.

"Hey, do you know how dangerous what you just did was?"

"If anything unexpected happens, you might end up at Wangshu Inn."

"Children should act like children and not be so naughty."

Paimon, hands on his hips, lectured the 'young man,' while Ying nodded in agreement. It had indeed been quite dangerous; had any mistake been made, the 'young man' would have been in real trouble.

"Haha, did you hear that, Boss Xiao? Kids should act like kids. They can't be so naughty all the time. Hey, hey, hey, how are you going to bring out He Pu Yuan?"

Seeing that Xiao had taken out both the He Pu Yuan and the Pu Yuan, Su Bai quickly regained his composure. The He Pu Yuan was no ordinary wooden stick; getting hit by it could cause pain for days.

"Ahem, let me introduce you. This is Xiao, the famous demon-slaying saint of Liyue."

"Huh? This guy, who's about the same height as Ying, is actually an immortal??"

Paimon's words struck Xiao like a sharp sword, instantly piercing his heart. Xiao, who had previously had a decent impression of Ying and Paimon, now felt his favorability towards the two people in front of him plummet to zero.

"Paimon, don't talk nonsense. I'm a bit superior to this immortal."

"Disrespectful to the Immortal Master!!!"

"Boss Xiao, calm down, calm down. They are my friends. Calm down, calm down."

After a period of playful fighting, the atmosphere gradually calmed down, and Su Bai's rationality regained its footing. He realized that there seemed to be a lot of things wrong with this matter. Whether it was the Emperor's murder during the Immortal Invocation Ceremony or the black rain, it all seemed to be happening at the perfect time.

Let's make a bold guess: this is a conspiracy. The Rock King didn't die at all; instead, he chose to hide in the shadows and secretly observe Liyue, wanting to see how she would handle the situation.

Having spent so much time in Inazuma, Su Bai had come to know Ying somewhat. The thoughts of the gods were always unfathomable. Just as he couldn't understand why Ying had ordered that beverage stalls could only be set up in Inazuma City, perhaps this was a test from the Emperor for the people. Of course, even if he thought that way, Su Bai still had to prepare for the worst.

"Su Bai, stop thinking about it. You should inform True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang, True Lord Lishui Dieshan, and True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng about this matter. We will take care of the rest."

Xiao patted Su Bai on the shoulder, indicating that Su Bai could leave everything to him, especially the matter of dealing with the immortals. He was mainly worried that Su Bai would figure out the truth. Su Bai had always been incredibly clever, and he could guess about 60-70% of things from the slightest clues. So Xiao could only use this method to divert Su Bai's attention.

Su Bai nodded. This was the best plan. Given the current situation, it was indeed necessary to gather his elders together for a small meeting. Ying also offered her help, as she happened to know the locations of the three immortals.

(The Liben event will be back tomorrow, so don't forget to send some junk to Liben in exchange for Primogems.)

Chapter 135 Visiting Three Immortals (1)

"After informing the three immortals, I will go to Liyue Harbor with Ying. I will testify for you that you did not assassinate the Geo Archon. You also need to get rid of your wanted criminal status as soon as possible. In addition, I want to go to the scene in person. Perhaps I can find out something."

Logically speaking, Su Bai should have been saddened to learn of the death of the Rock King, but for some reason, he had a feeling that the Rock King was still alive, just continuing to protect Liyue in a different way. So, before seeing the King's immortal body, Su Bai did not immediately draw a conclusion.

"Perhaps the Emperor was just playing a joke on us?"

Of course, it's also possible that a sense of wishful thinking was playing on Su Bai's mind, making him believe that the Rock King Emperor had not passed away. After all, everyone would have this feeling in the face of difficulties, and Su Bai was no exception. This is only human nature.

"Let's get moving. I'm waiting for Su Bai to treat me to a meal. I heard that Xiang Ling has invented a new dish that tastes amazing."

Sure enough, no matter how great the difficulties, Paimon's mind still had the part that belonged to food. Su Bai looked in the direction of Liyue Harbor. He knew that if he wanted to know the truth, he had to go to Yujingtai. But what identity should he use? A celestial being or a Liyue native?

If the Geo Archon has truly passed away, he will definitely shoulder the responsibility of protecting Liyue. He believes that every Holy Spirit of Liyue will take on this responsibility. However, humans and immortals are ultimately different. If a conflict arises between humans and immortals, he has not yet decided which side he should stand on.

"Let's go, Ying, we should set off now, time is still tight."

Paimon watched Su Bai's retreating figure, scratching her head. She had a feeling that Su Bai had something on his mind, but judging from his intentions, it seemed that he didn't plan to tell them.

"Ying, I feel like Su Bai has something on his mind. Is it just my imagination?"

"No, this isn't your imagination. Su Bai does have something on his mind. Let's see if we can get it out of him on the way."

Paimon pouted, indicating that she didn't really like Su Bai like this. Su Bai always gave her the feeling that he didn't treat her, Paimon, as a friend. Ying looked at Su Bai's back and started to worry about him.

As Xiao watched Su Bai's retreating figure, he silently lamented that Su Bai had grown up and had his own worries. However, before these old folks passed away, he longed to see Su Bai carefree.

"Perhaps this is the growth that the Emperor was talking about. But why don't I like it when the burden is placed on Su Bai? Did the Emperor make a mistake this time? No, the Emperor is definitely not wrong. The Emperor must have his reasons for doing this."

"The Emperor is doing this for Su Bai's own good, so I shouldn't think about it too much."

"It seems there are some monsters around here. I'll go and deal with them."

Xiao instantly left Wangshu Inn. He had no desire to stay any longer. He regretted knowing so much. If he hadn't known so many inside stories, perhaps he wouldn't be in this predicament now.

Inside the Wangshu Inn, Yan Xiao looked at the table full of delicious food and the empty chairs with a sense of helplessness. Wasn't it agreed that we were going to eat? How come the food was ready, but all the people who were supposed to eat were nowhere to be seen? What kind of situation is this?

On the way to Jueyun Pavilion, Ying told Su Bai about the Executor of the Fools and expressed her doubts about the Fools. Su Bai simply did not believe that the Fools had that kind of power.

If the Fatui were truly that powerful, they would have already begun their conquest of Liyue. There's no way they would be entrenched in the Northern Bank, waiting for an opportunity to strike. However, Ying's words reminded Su Bai that if he encountered the Fatui on the road, he could at least deal with these foreigners.
