"This... this is too shocking. We actually witnessed the fall of the Rock King with our own eyes!"

Xiangling covered her mouth and spoke softly.

"Yes, this is definitely a huge event for Liyue."

Shen He responded calmly.

During the ceremony of inviting the immortals, a tense atmosphere filled the entire square. At this time, Yingmei looked at Shen He and Xiang Ling with curiosity and surprise.

"Brother Chen, who are they?" Yingmei asked innocently, her eyes full of admiration for Shen He's beauty.

"These two are my new friends. Come, let me introduce them to you. She is Shen He, and she is Xiang Ling." Su Chen explained to Yingmei gently.

At the same time, Lady Ningguang began to organize the Thousand Rocks Army and gave soothing words to the people around her: "Please remain calm. The Thousand Rocks Army will check everyone. This is a routine procedure. Please cooperate."

Ningguang's actions attracted everyone's attention, and people began to whisper to each other.

"Look, Lady Ningguang is coming!" someone said excitedly.

"Lady Ningguang seemed to glance at me just now. She wouldn't suspect me, right?" another person muttered nervously.

Ningguang slowly walked towards Su Chen and the others, finally stopped in front of them, and said calmly: "Sir, please follow me."

After hearing what Ningguang said, Yingmei asked anxiously, "Why did you take Brother Chen away? We are together, so we should face any problem together, right?"

Ningguang had no time to comfort Yingmei at the moment. She felt a sense of urgency and had to act immediately to discuss the next steps. But she was also reluctant to let Su Chen leave. The feeling of uncertainty prompted her to ensure that Su Chen stayed in Liyue.

In the tense scene of the immortal invitation ceremony, Yingmei held Su Chen's hand tightly, her eyes full of anxiety and determination, "I don't want to separate, we should face this together." She said firmly.

Paimon anxiously pulled Yingmei aside, trying to persuade her to stay calm. "Yingmei, listen to Brother Chen."

Su Chen turned to look at Ningguang, then whispered to Yingmei, "Lady Ningguang wants to discuss something with me alone. You, Shen He, and Xiang Ling should go back and wait for me."

He stroked Yingmei's hair gently, trying to calm her down: "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

I knew in my heart that this summons was just a simple meeting for him.

Shen He nodded slightly, thinking secretly in her heart that if Su Chen encountered difficulties, she would be willing to lend a helping hand.

Suddenly, she felt an unusual evil spirit surge up in her heart, which made her feel confused: "What is going on? Why did my mood suddenly become so turbulent?"

Su Chen finally left the scene with Ningguang.

After answering some questions from the Qianyan Army, Yingmei and others were also allowed to leave.

Xiangling looked at Yingmei carefully and couldn't help but say, "He just said that we are just friends who just met."

Yingmei felt a little relieved after hearing this. She was originally worried that other girls would interfere in her and Su Chen's story, especially the elegant and charming Shen He...

At the end of the ceremony, Yingmei's cheeks flushed slightly, and she shyly revealed the secret in her heart, "I have been looking for Brother Chen, but the reason is... because I have feelings for him."

She lowered her head shyly, and her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

Faced with this sudden confession, Xiangling was surprised. She uttered a long and meaningful "Oh~~~" with a hint of mischief in her eyes.

"Ah, so this is the feeling of love, how interesting." A playful smile appeared on Xiangling's face. She was a little surprised by Yingmei's frankness.

Sister Ying was conflicted and murmured quietly, "But, Brother Chen should be mine."

Shen He couldn't help feeling a little confused after hearing these words.

Xiangling continued to add: "Brother Chen must have feelings for you, after all, you two are so close."

Yingmei lowered her head in shame: "I rejected him once, and we even had a big fight over it."

"At that time, I didn't understand my feelings... and then he left... I could only look for him while completing the commission. I wanted to buy him a lot of delicious food when I saw him, so that he would stay by my side."

As Yingmei spoke, her cheeks gradually turned red.

……

Chapter 299 Keqing: What is the Pixie Sword Technique? !

Xiangling was shocked when she heard all this.

It turns out that Su Chen embarked on an adventure because of emotional pain?

She recalled Su Chen's behavior during this period and was filled with confusion.

"It doesn't matter. Now you finally meet again." Xiangling said with a playful smile and ease.

Shen He felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. Ying Mei's obvious feelings for Su Chen made her feel an unknown discomfort, as if someone was holding her heart tightly, making her feel suffocated. "I have to go first." She said uneasily and quickly left the scene.

"Shen He, wait a minute!" Xiang Ling called her hurriedly, and at the same time quickly exchanged dormitory addresses with Yingmei.

They walked slowly on the streets of Liyue, with Paimon flying lightly beside Yingmei. "Yes, I have figured out my feelings and I won't run away anymore." Yingmei said, feeling a little guilty.

Suddenly, a gentle male voice came from behind: "Hey, hello, two friends."

Yingmei and Paimon turned around and saw a handsome tall man standing behind them with a kind smile on his fair face.

"Who are you?" Paimon asked curiously.

In this complex world, if Su Chen were here, he would be able to recognize that the figure was the controversial character - Tartaglia.

Some people think he is a cold-blooded killer. As a member of the Fatui, the worst thing Tartaglia has ever done is to release a sealed demon.

Judging from this behavior alone, there is no doubt that Tartaglia is a bad person. Ordinary people would never think of such an extreme act as releasing a demon god, and many people would definitely die as a result, even with the help of a group of Liyue immortals.

In many novels, such evil deeds are usually only committed by villains.

However, some people believe that there are no so-called good guys and bad guys in the world, they just have different standpoints. If you look at it from Tartaglia's perspective, you may find that he is not completely a bad guy.

It's like the "useless truth" that no matter how evil people are, they can always find justification for their actions from their own perspective.

Just like a child carving Ultraman on your car, from his point of view, he may just want to find a little fun in his boring life.

For example, when a country invades another country, from the perspective of the invader, they may just want to obtain resources and feed their own people. Although these actions are unacceptable in the eyes of others, they are reasonable in the eyes of the perpetrators.

The existence of this character, Tartaglia, is a challenge to the "standards of good and evil". He forces people to think about whether the world is really just a simple black and white.

In this online novel world of heroes and villains, Tartaglia's legendary story has aroused great interest among readers. As the new executive of the Fatui, although he did all kinds of bad things in Liyue, he lied to his brother and claimed that he was just a toy merchant. This behavior not only failed to whiten his image, but also highlighted his hypocritical nature.

Tartaglia's character, while undeniably evil, is a beginner in the world of villains. Compared to characters like Lady and Rooster, his evil deeds and schemes seem inferior. This makes him seem bad and stupid, exactly the type that readers hate the most in online novels - seemingly gentle and harmless, but actually having a dark mind.

However, surprisingly, despite all the bad things that Tartaglia did, he still won the love of some readers because of his handsome appearance. In the novel world of Dimension Pot, his image was even introduced into the card pool, which made people confused.

After careful consideration, Dimension Pot finally understood the reason behind it. The charm of Tartaglia lies in his appearance and story background-he does evil things, but also to take care of his younger brother. This contradictory image makes him popular among female readers.

The situation of the lady is very similar. She is beautiful, gentle and virtuous. When she first met Wendy, she confided a lot of her inner thoughts to him and even stole his heart. Why can't such a character be included in the card pool?

Apparently, in the world of online novels, appearance and personality are as important as behavior and storyline in determining a character's popularity. Tartaglia and Lady, though different, both attract readers' attention in their own unique ways.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. You can call me Young Master." The man answered politely.

"Young Master?" Yingmei repeated with a hint of surprise.

Paimon muttered in annoyance: "Really, asking others to call him Young Master when they first meet is too much."

"We are not his servants." Paimon shook his head, showing a little disgust towards the man who called himself a young master.

The man laughed and said, "You misunderstood. The name is just a title."

"For example, you have undoubtedly heard of 'The Lady' of Mond," he continued to explain.

"How do you know we are from Mond? Did you eavesdrop on our conversation just now?" Paimon questioned directly.

Yingmei's voice trembled slightly as she whispered repeatedly: "Madam... Sir..." Suddenly, her eyes became alert, "You are one of the Fatui!" As soon as she finished speaking, she and Paimon retreated vigilantly.

The man in front of him just smiled slightly, looking relaxed: "Don't be nervous, although I belong to the Fatui, I am not a bad person."

"I don't think highly of that lady either. I saw your friend being taken away, so I came to offer my help."

Sister Ying frowned, "He was invited, and Brother Chen told us that he would be fine."

The man asked, "You just believe his words? He was taken away by one of the most powerful people in Liyue. If she suspects your friend of having something to do with the Emperor's assassination, do you think you can save him?"

"I understand. Now that the Emperor has been stabbed, no one among us Fatui will believe what we say."

"But not all of us fools are scheming people."

"But I mean no harm, believe it or not. Even our Queen expressed her condolences for the passing of Emperor Yan."

Tartaglia's tone was filled with genuine sadness.

Although Yingmei still remained skeptical, she had to admit that there was some truth in what he said.

"So what do you think we should do now?" she asked.

At the same time, Su Chen was taken to the Qun Yu Pavilion, and Ningguang arranged for Bai Wen to lead him to an elegant reception room.

"Mr. Su Chen, please wait a moment. I will prepare tea for you." Bai Wen said, left the room and closed the door gently.

In the elegant reception room of the Qun Yu Pavilion, Su Chen was immersed in the pleasure of drinking tea, and the tense atmosphere around him seemed to have nothing to do with him.

However, there was a strong sense of tension in the Seven Stars meeting room, where Liyue's core leaders gathered, including Ningguang from Tianquan Star, Keqing from Yuheng Star, Tianshu from Tianshu Star, and Ganyu, the Seven Stars' secretary.

Ningguang’s voice was filled with fatigue. “Right now, our other four stars are not in Liyue, and Ye Lan has been gone for some time.”

The middle-aged man with white hair and beard, Tianshu Xing Tianshu, said worriedly: "It is really unfortunate that the emperor has suffered such a disaster..."

Yuhengxing Keqing, a purple-haired girl with a pair of cat ears on her head, said in a calm but firm voice: "Perhaps we should not always rely on the power of gods. This may be an opportunity to change the status quo."

Sitting next to her was a light blue-haired girl wearing goat horns on her head—Ganyu. She had just returned to Liyue Harbor from the cave of Master Liuyun Jiefeng since her last departure. She sat quietly, with a little confusion in her eyes, and seemed a little lost.

Ningguang sternly retorted: "Keqing, now is not the time to discuss the human system and the divine system. The Emperor has been attacked, and we must find out the truth as soon as possible. Once the immortals learn of this, the Liyue Seven Stars will face serious accountability."

The Emperor's misfortune during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony is not only a profound tragedy, but it may also have a far-reaching impact on the future of Liyue. This is the most urgent problem that Liyue needs to solve.

“Ningguang, do you have any clues about the person you brought back today?” Keqing asked, crossing her arms with a serious expression.

Ningguang frowned slightly and replied, "He doesn't look suspicious. I brought him back to learn more about the situation. For some reason, I have an inexplicable sense of trust in him."

“Regarding the Fatui, they have spies all over Liyue. I suspect this incident has something to do with them,” Ningguang continued.

Keqing turned to Ganyu, "Ganyu, what do you think?"

Ganyu replied in a low voice: "I can't believe that the Emperor would leave in this way." Her voice revealed deep reluctance and disappointment.

“Ningguang, I want to go with you to meet that person. I have a few questions to ask him.” Keqing made a request.

“Of course.” Ningguang agreed.

They walked to the reception room and saw Bai Wen waiting outside the door. "Mr. Su Chen is inside."

Ningguang nodded: "Bai Wen, you can go and get busy first."

Entering the room, Ningguang and Keqing saw Su Chen standing by the window. The sunlight gently covered his figure, giving people a warm feeling.

Keqing asked directly: "Who are you? Where are you from? What is your purpose in coming to Liyue?"

Su Chen turned around, a glimmer in his eyes. "So Lady Ningguang has brought helpers." He thought to himself, as if he saw hope of solving the problem.

In the reception room of the Qun Yu Pavilion, Su Chen displayed a relaxed attitude in front of two authority figures of Liyue.

He introduced himself with a hint of joking: "Hello everyone, my name is Su Chen, and I come from the picturesque Mondstadt."

He paused, and continued, "I came to Liyue for more than one purpose. For example, I wanted to find a wealthy partner, tame a coconut sheep, and learn the legendary Fart Evil Sword Technique."

Although his words sounded unserious, they revealed an indescribable sincerity.

Hearing Su Chen's words, Keqing's face was full of confusion: "What is the Pi Xie Sword Technique?!"

Keqing was confused by this and didn't understand Su Chen's true intention. She was also surprised that he mentioned "finding a rich woman".

Su Chen smiled meaningfully, "Of course, these are just little fun things in my life. By the way, how much do you know about the dragon disaster in Mondstadt?"

As he spoke, Su Chen walked to the sofa in the room and sat down, casually inviting Ningguang and Keqing: "Please take a seat, respected 'Beef Offal Master' and 'Rich Lady'."

However, even though Keqing had known Su Chen for a long time, when she thought of what happened when she was with him before, she couldn't help biting her lower lip and lowered her head shyly.

If Ningguang knew that, as a Yuheng Star, I actually abused my power and made Su Chen my assistant, and that I even had a sexual relationship with my assistant and made Su Chen work with me, and even worked until they went to bed, Ningguang would definitely hold me accountable.

So in order to avoid being questioned by Ningguang, Keqing decided to pretend that she didn't know Su Chen for the time being and asked him questions.

Ningguang smiled slightly after hearing Su Chen's address. She did not show any disgust, but sat down first.

She seemed to feel that there might be some important clues hidden behind Su Chen's words.

Ningguang pondered for a moment before asking, "A hero from another world did play a key role in Mondstadt's dragon disaster. Mr. Suchen, what is your connection with that hero?"

Ningguang’s questions are full of insight, and Su Chen’s answers may provide more clues to Liyue’s current situation.
