Since he spoke so much in one breath, Zhongli had to drink some tea to moisten his throat.

"So Mr. Zhongli is saying that those stones were caused by the demon hidden there? And the Emperor collided with those lights just to stop her?"

"As expected of you, little friend Su Mo. You've already guessed most of it before I even said it."

Zhongli was very satisfied with Su Mo's analytical ability, and a rare expression of appreciation appeared on his face. He had rarely met someone who could see things so clearly.

"So... the Emperor is really dead?"

"Perhaps, on a piece of broken golden mineral, some people say that the Emperor's Immortal Ancestor's Transfiguration was discovered. However, as to the truth, we can only wait for the Seven Stars to announce the results. All we have to do is wait."

Zhongli nodded, as if he was saying something perfectly normal.

"I didn't expect Mr. Zhongli's analytical ability to be so strong. He was able to come up with a very reasonable conclusion about those light spots based on just a few words. I admire you so much!"

After listening to Mr. Zhongli's analysis, Su Mo admired him even more because his guess was so accurate.

"But isn't that demon too strong? I heard that the Emperor was the winner of the Demon War, and his superb rock spear suppressed countless demons. How could it be..."

"Everything is possible. Think about it, five of the seven gods have been replaced so far. Death is a problem that even gods cannot avoid. We just need to treat it with a normal heart."

Zhongli seemed as if he was not surprised by anything, and Su Mo really admired him for this.

"By the way, Mr. Zhongli, who told you this? It seems so detailed."

After listening to Zhongli's story, Su Mo suddenly felt that it seemed a little too detailed.

"Well, this..."

"Hey, Mr. Zhongli, you're here too."

Just when Zhongli was about to say something, a voice came from the door.

"Son."

Young master? Which young master?

When Su Mo heard Mr. Zhongli say this name, he suddenly thought of this subconsciously.

Because he had never been to Liyue at that time, he was not familiar with the people here.

"Is this Mr. Zhongli's friend? You can call me Young Master. Well, don't get me wrong, it's just a code name."

The chestnut-haired boy sat down on the seat next to him and looked at Su Mo with interest.

"You can just call me Su Mo, but your clothes..."

Although he was a little confused about why his code name was "Young Master", Su Mo was more concerned about the clothes he was wearing at this time.

For some reason, the young man codenamed Gongzi had tattered clothes and a dirty face, as if he had just come back from putting out a fire.

"Hahaha, for someone in my line of work, this situation is very normal. As long as I'm still alive, that's all that matters. I can just change the rest."

Noticing that Su Mo's attention was focused here, the young master smiled helplessly. He almost died there just now. Fortunately, he ran fast.

If the mysterious girl appears again next time, he will definitely hide as far away from her as possible. After all, the other party is someone who can even kill the rock god Morax, and he, a mere mortal, is really not enough to deal with her.

But for some reason, after confirming that Morax was really dead, the young master felt a little regretful. It was a pity that he was unable to challenge him. Although there was a huge gap in strength between the two, it would definitely be a thrilling battle. It's a pity that it will never happen again.

What a pity...

"Since the young master is also there, can I ask you to do something?"

At this time, Zhong Li put down his teacup and spoke.

"I never thought that Mr. Zhongli would need my help one day. I must seize the opportunity."

"Mr. Zhongli, please tell me. If I can help, I will definitely do so."

Seeing that the young master had agreed, Su Mo quickly said the same thing.

"I think it is very likely that the Rock King Emperor has met with an accident, so I would like to ask you two to help prepare for the ceremony of sending the Immortals."

PS: Please vote!!! Also, I’ll take a day off tomorrow because there will be a power outage all day and I won’t be able to write! ! ! !

18~HENSHIN!

"Sending off the Immortal Ceremony? Could it be that you are talking about the Rock King..."

Hearing Zhongli say this, the young master looked obviously a little unbelievable.

"It seems that you have heard similar news, sir. Yes, you guessed it right. The ceremony of inviting the immortals I mentioned is to bid farewell to Emperor Yanwang."

Zhongli looked at the young master and said this lightly.

"But didn't you just say that the matter of Emperor Yan Wang has not been confirmed yet? Do we need to be so anxious? Isn't this a bad idea?"

Su Mo was a little puzzled. He didn't know why he had to prepare such things in advance. After all, doing so before the news was confirmed felt like cursing others.

"Although we haven't received any accurate information about the Geo King, it is still necessary to prepare in advance. If the information is not true, we can stop. Whether the Geo King comes or leaves, it is a very important matter for Liyue. We must pay attention to it."

After taking a sip of tea, Zhongli looked at Su Mo and told him his reasons.

"In that case, I will provide financial support. It can be regarded as my token of appreciation to the old Emperor."

The young master was very surprised that he could participate in the ceremony of sending off the immortals by Emperor Rock King, because this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

At that time, he thought that he had no chance of obtaining the Heart of God, but he never expected that the mysterious girl actually succeeded in killing Morax.

But it's a pity that because he was only concerned with running away at that time, he didn't have the chance to take Morax's Heart of God before Qixing arrived at the scene.

And now, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is before him again, and this time he must seize it.

"Then I... don't think there's anything I can do to help..."

Seeing that the young master took care of the funding issue so readily, Su Mo awkwardly discovered that there seemed to be nothing he could do to help.

"It doesn't matter. The most critical issue in this matter is the funding issue. Since it has been borne by the young master, the two of us are enough to take care of the rest."

Shaking his head, Zhongli didn't care about what Su Mo said. He just needed a helper, and other things could be left to him. After all, these rituals had almost become decorations for thousands of years, and he was the only one who remembered how to operate them.

"So shall we act now?"

Since Zhongli had already said so, Su Mo didn't say anything more. He just wanted to know when to take action. After all, the system had not yet settled the two tasks for him, so he had to go back and ask the system.

"No hurry, we will gather here tomorrow, and I will tell you what to do then."

"Well, then, just tell me how much you want. I still have to go back now."

"Then I'll go back first. I still have things to do. See you tomorrow, Mr. Zhongli."

Seeing that the young master was about to leave, Su Mo hurriedly said this. He still had to go back and ask about the system rewards.

"Yes, but please wait a moment, sir. Please settle the bill this time."

"No problem, Mr. Zhongli, why don't you sit for a while longer..."

. . .

-------------------------------------

[System, where is my reward? ]

As soon as he returned to his residence, Su Mo couldn't wait to ask the system.

He had just clearly received a notification from the system that the task was completed, but the system reward had not been issued, which made Su Mo feel a little strange.

[The Wind God Barbatos Incentive Plan has been successfully completed. The Wind God Barbatos has been motivated, and his level of being lazy has been improved by 1%. The host is rewarded with a chance to draw a lottery, and the progress bar of the Herrscher of the Sky character card has increased by 5%. ]

[The delayed retirement plan of Rock God Motox has not been completed, because Morax is considering retirement. Please continue to work hard to complete it. 】

Su Mo: “?”

At this moment, Su Mo's face was full of question marks. What was going on?

Morax is retiring? Didn't I just ask him to retire?

Su Mo couldn't figure it out and could only try to recall what happened between the two of them at Lingju Pass. He remembered that Morax told him that his deal with the God of Winter did not include his people, and it was just his personal matter. Then he gave the Heart of God to Su Mo...

Are you scared?

Su Mo still couldn't figure it out and could only think that he had accidentally scared Morax as a matter of course, otherwise why would he retire?

Never mind, let’s draw the lottery first…

Shaking his head, Su Mo decided to ignore the matter for the time being. He still had one chance to draw a lottery.

[System, my turn, draw! ]

[Please wait, the system is drawing a lottery for you! ]

call out--

clang--

[Congratulations to the host for drawing the Blue Knight. Moon Soul character card. 】

[The plan to save Liyue has been launched. Someone is hiding in the shadows and is preparing to launch a shocking conspiracy against Liyue. Please use the power of the character card to thwart it. You will be rewarded with one draw and an increase in the character card progress bar. The host can also obtain part of the power of the character card. ]

[System, can you tell me who wants to do something bad to Liyue? And what is that thing? ]

Su Mo, who hadn't had time to be happy, saw that there were more tasks, and these were some incomprehensible tasks, which made him want to question again.

[Please find it yourself, this system does not provide such help. I wish the host a happy task completion O(∩_∩)O! ]

【Su Mo: “?!”】

This sudden facial expression scared Su Mo, because the system's voice has always been cold, and it actually made facial expressions, which also scared Su Mo a lot.

[Don't send this kind of expression in the future, but you haven't told me how to transform yet. Don't forget that you helped me transform last time. ]

[The host can transform into the character and play the role just by thinking about the appearance of the character card. Please be careful not to be discovered. ]

【Remove the word "oh" for me! 】

[The host can transform into the character and play the role as long as he thinks about the appearance of the character card. Please be careful not to be discovered. ]

【. . . . . . 】

Su Mo was speechless and decided to ignore the system. He wanted to see what the character card of Blue Knight. Moon Soul was like.

"Blue Knight. Moon Soul, HENSHIN!"

PS: I am so exhausted from the cleaning today, so it will be about one chapter, or it will be very late!!!

19~Do I look sneaky?

Qunyu Pavilion.

At this time, a group of immortals and Keqing and Ningguang, two of the Seven Stars of Liyue, were on the Jade Pavilion. However, the atmosphere among the crowd seemed a little subtle. No one spoke, and everyone had a serious look on their faces and no one knew what they were thinking.

"My fellow immortals, no matter what, the Emperor has already left us. The most urgent task now is to make all preparations, because we don't know when the murderer who killed the Emperor will return to Liyue. Although there is a huge gap in strength, we can't just sit there and wait for death."

Seeing that no one spoke, Ningguang had to speak up herself to break the situation.

To be honest, she had thought about the possibility that the Emperor would leave Liyue, but she had never expected that the Emperor would leave in this way. This was something Ningguang had never expected.

Thinking back to those days, the extremely cruel Demon War Emperor had defeated all the heroes and suppressed countless demons with his powerful strength, thus becoming one of the final winners.

But why did he suddenly die at the hands of a strange demon thousands of years later? This made Ningguang very confused.

However, Ningguang also understood that it was difficult for mortals like them to know what was going on between the demons, and they had more important things to do right now, which was to prepare for the defense of Liyue.

Because Liyue has now lost the protection of the Emperor, they can only rely on themselves to deal with all external threats.

It is not impossible for Liyue, which originally did not have an Emperor, to rely on the Seven Stars. After all, it was the Seven Stars who managed the entire Liyue most of the time. There would be no problem in saying that they were the actual rulers of Liyue.

But management is just management after all. No matter how good the management method is, it must rely on powerful force to ensure safety.

Now the Emperor is dead, and the mysterious and powerful murderer is nowhere to be found. No one knows whether she will come back again, so this is also the issue that Ningguang is most concerned about.

"Qixing is right. The most important thing right now is to make all preparations to welcome the next enemy that may attack. Although the Emperor is no longer here, we immortals are not here to watch."

Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng agreed with Ningguang's words. Although she found it difficult to accept the fact that the Emperor had passed away, the Emperor had instructed them to protect Liyue before that.

And no matter what, this is also their responsibility, so they naturally cannot give up.

"You two are both right. No matter what the enemy does, we, the Immortals and the Seven Stars, must protect Liyue. Let's go and prepare now without further delay."

Xiao still looked expressionless, and no one knew what he was really thinking at this moment.

"Then I will go down and arrange the defense of the Qianyan Army."

Keqing didn't say much. She knew that it would be more meaningful to take action immediately.

"Then let's each get ready!"

Looking at everyone present, Ningguang nodded. She knew that the most critical moment for Liyue was about to come, and she had to be fully alert.
