The treasure thieves of Teyvat rob Shenhe

Before Ying entered Liyue Harbor, she had already gotten a glimpse of its prosperity.

After handing over their adventurer identification, Ying and Paimon were allowed to pass by the stationed Thousand Rocks Army.

"Next, let's go find that guy Lin Ye. I haven't forgotten that he still owes us a meal."

Paimon looked around. Unlike the streets of Mondstadt which were full of freedom and lightness, Liyue Harbor was much busier and more lively.

There were small stalls on the roadside, with people shouting catchy and self-composed slogans, rickshaw drivers walking around, storytellers standing on the stage clapping their hands, a few young men chatting and laughing about the wonderful opera performed by Mr. Yun yesterday, and rich ladies holding hands to buy incense and rouge, all smiling sweetly.

The tour guide Paimon was dazzled by what he saw, and remembering that they had acquaintances in Liyue Harbor, he spoke to Ying.

"Okay." Ying nodded.

When you go to a strange place, it is indeed convenient to have a trustworthy local person with you.

Ying remembered the address Lin Ye had given her and asked a few passers-by how to get there.

However, Ying learned from passers-by that they happened to be there, as today was the day for the ceremony to invite the immortals, and the venue was a place called Yujingtai.

Ying has no time to find Lin Ye. She wants to see Yan Shen. This is her only chance in a year, at least that’s what Ying thinks now.

The two of them hurried to Yujingtai.

Yujingtai was crowded with people. Travelers from outside the world wanted to see the Geo Emperor, and the same was true for the locals of Liyue Harbor. It was well known that the people of Liyue were all fans of the Emperor.

Like outsiders, they only have one chance a year to pay homage to their Rock King.

Ying and Paimon finally squeezed to the front, and they saw the Qianyan Army guarding the center and were forbidden to move forward.

"It looks like it hasn't started yet."

"The Immortal Invitation Ceremony is an extremely important day for the people of Liyue. Will Lin Ye be here?"

Ying thought.

She looked for a familiar figure in the crowd. If he was there, his appearance and temperament would easily make him stand out.

Ying saw someone closing his eyes and clasping his hands in front of a peculiarly shaped copper furnace. Was he praying?

Ying became somewhat interested and wanted to collect more information before the ceremony of summoning the immortals began.

A businessman named Changshun felt someone approaching. He had just finished making a wish, opened his eyes, and turned to look at Ying.

"Oh, do you want to get some of the [fairy spirit] too?"

Changshun thought that Ying and Paimeng were people who shared the same ideas as her.

There are many people like this. Most people in Liyue have the habit of trying to get a good start, just like Lin Ye's previous life when he forwarded Koi fish during the New Year and other festivals, and students worshipped Confucius before taking exams.

Changshun said with relief.

"Haha, you understand a lot, girl. If you make a wish on this day, the emperor and the immortals will bless you."

Paimon asked with three parts doubt and seven parts expectation.

"If you make a wish here, will it really come true?"

"Then I will make a wish that I can eat delicious food every day and have lots and lots of Mora that I can never spend."

"Ying Ye finds her brother soon."

Upon hearing this, Ying glanced at Paimon. Her Mora was not wasted. Paimon was still very sensible.

After Changshun made his wish, he gave up his seat.

Ying followed Paimon in making a wish, adhering to the principle that it didn't cost any money so she could have some faith in it.

"I hope to find my brother soon..."

Ying, who had her eyes closed, did not notice that the patterns on the copper furnace were gleaming.

At the same time, on a high peak in Tianheng Mountain, Lin Ye and Zhongli sat opposite each other on stone chairs drinking tea and looking down in the direction of Yujing Terrace.

"The traveler has arrived at Yujing Terrace." Zhongli said.

"According to the time, Ying will be here soon." Lin Ye said with a smile.

"I will serve as Zhongli, the guest of the Rebirth Hall, and witness together with the travelers the response and choices that Liyue Harbor makes in response to the changes."

"The goal of the Fatui has always been only one, to obtain the Heart of God."

"When I fake my death, Tianquan Ningguang will hide my immortal body in a secret place to prevent further chaos."

"At this time, in order to get closer to the immortal body, the young master will come to me, who is a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall and can hold the ceremony of sending off the gods."

"Similarly, the young master intends to disrupt the situation in Liyue Harbor so that he can fish in troubled waters. However, he is one of the Fatui after all. Even if he has the Scroll of No Taboos, it is difficult for him to gain the trust of the immortals."

"So, you need a partner, the young master, and that is the traveler who is interested in the lady's words."

As Zhongli spoke, he predicted things that had not yet happened and would happen.

Lin Ye nodded and asked a question that had been hidden in his mind for a long time.

"Is the body you used to fake your death really your immortal body incarnation, Mr. Zhongli?"

Zhongli shook his head. "It's just a body condensed from rock elements, which can be controlled remotely. If I ask Xian Dianyi to come in his true form, Yujingtai will be a little restrictive for me."

Lin Ye thought about it and felt that it was right.

The real bodies of most demons are huge, like Quantai and Osel. Zhongli is used to walking around in the world in human form, but his true appearance would make even demons feel awe.

"By the way, Lin Ye, why do you want the control of my fake body?" Zhongli asked, thinking of something.

"Of course Ying has to join the game." Lin Ye showed a mysterious smile.

"Oh? How do you do that?"

……

After making their wishes, Ying and Paimeng squeezed to the front again.

Don't underestimate her training in the adventuring world.

Ying learned from the conversation of the people next to her that there was a noble white-haired woman standing in the center of Yujingtai. Her name was Ningguang, Tianquanxing Ningguang.

Ying remembered that Lin Ye said that the Seven Stars of Liyue each held power of varying degrees in Liyue, and the white-haired woman in front of him was the real big shot in Liyue.

But, the rain has nothing to do with me.

Ying and Paimeng waited for a few more minutes and saw Ningguang turn around and announce to everyone that the auspicious time had arrived.

The ceremony of inviting the immortals finally began.

Ningguang activated the magic weapon to communicate with the heaven, allowing Emperor Rock to sense that a sense of ritual was necessary for the people who came to watch.

The wind and clouds stirred into a whirlpool.

Ying vaguely sensed that something was approaching here in the air, but the aura was strange.

Ningguang also noticed something. She looked up and saw that the clear sky had become covered with dark clouds, and there were lightning and thunder in the vortex.

Just as the crowd was talking, a huge object suddenly fell from the sky.

This is a collapsed half-unicorn, half-dragon creature.

The incarnation of the Rock King had one claw stretched straight forward, with a single claw extending as if pointing at something.

Ningguang noticed it immediately and looked in the direction...

Ying: Meow?

Chapter 459 Lin Ye: How could this be?

When Prince Yan did not display his miracles and land calmly as he did in the past, he fell down like a corpse.

Ningguang suddenly felt something was wrong and her heartbeat stopped for half a second. Fortunately, she had a strong psychological quality and kept her expression unchanged as she stepped forward to check.

Oh, no breathing.

Ningguang’s expression finally changed. She could remain calm even when the sky was falling, but the Emperor was far more important to the people of Liyue than Mount Tai.

The emperor was murdered?

Ningguang couldn't accept this fact. It happened too suddenly, which made Ningguang feel terrified. Someone could have bypassed her intelligence network and killed the Emperor without anyone noticing...

There is no way such a person could exist in the world. This is too strange. Considering the emperor's previous tendency to delegate power, could it be...

Ningguang had a lot of thoughts and all kinds of speculations and suspicions, but the most important thing right now was to stabilize the situation and find the murderer.

Although Ningguang was surprised, she did not panic. She noticed something strange about the Emperor's immortal body. Could the claws extending forward be the clues left by the Emperor?

Ningguang looked in the direction the claw was pointing.

hey guess what?

It was pointed directly at the blonde girl, and didn't even touch the flying elf that was very close to her.

Ning Guang:......

Ying: Meow?

……

“The Emperor has been murdered! Seal off the scene!” Ningguang waved her hand and gave the order, and the angry Qianyan Army below responded loudly.

The crowd was in a panic. The people of Liyue could not imagine that Lord Yan would be killed, and they discussed it anxiously. The foreign merchants were also confused.

Some smart people began to think about the impact that the death of the Geogod would have on the business of all of Liyue.

No matter what people said or thought, no one left without permission. At this critical juncture, whoever ran would be the biggest suspect.

Paimon looked around at the others, and affected by the solemn atmosphere at the scene, he asked Ying, the person he trusted the most.

"W-what on earth is going on?"

"What did she say about the Emperor's murder?"

"Could it be that the God of Rock...is dead?"

At this time, the Qianyan Army was checking everyone on the Yujing Terrace one by one, and Paimeng said with lingering fear.

"Ah, it's the Qianyan Army. They are questioning the suspicious people who came too close to the scene."

"It's horrible that the murderer is among us."

"Wait," clever Paimon noticed a detail and said worriedly, "That important person just now seemed to be looking in our direction. Will he suspect that we killed the Emperor? We obviously did nothing."

Seeing that Qianyanjun was about to ask her a question, Ying recalled what had just happened.

So the second god he found died directly. I don’t know if it was an illusion, and the God of Rock also blamed himself for the problem.

In short, Tianquanxing Ningguang noticed her just now, and there was definitely scrutiny and suspicion in his eyes.

Ying felt that she was caught in an unknown conspiracy, being calculated against and used as a pawn.

Damn it, who is it?!

Due to insufficient intelligence, Ying will not sit still and wait for death. She is considering taking advantage of the chaotic situation to escape.

In fact, when Ying in the game came to Liyue, she didn't know that the god who attacked her and Kong was the maintainer of justice, so she always regarded the gods she had never met as potential enemies in her heart.

The God of Rock was killed, but if the God of Rock was the same god from that year, his followers would also be enemies of Ying, and he must not fall into their hands.

However, Lin Ye's appearance produced a butterfly effect.

Ying knew about the existence of the Sustainer of Heaven in advance, and also had a certain understanding of the Geo God from Venti and Lin Ye, and had a good impression of Liyue Harbor.

In this foreign country, Ying and Paimeng are not without friends, Lin Ye, Shen He, Xiang Ling...

This gave Ying confidence invisibly.

Why is she running?

If you run away at this time, you will be directly identified as a suspect.

Even if she was misunderstood, she would find a way to contact Lin Ye and the others. Ying believed that Lin Ye and the others would not sit idly by and would help her clear her grievances.

"Paimon, we're not leaving." Ying said.

"Yes, there is an old saying in Liyue: If you are upright, you have nothing to fear. If we do nothing wrong, we have nothing to fear from ghosts knocking on our door!" The knowledgeable Paimon agreed, "I will accompany you!"

Soon, it was Ying's turn to be interrogated. Qianyanjun asked a few questions and Ying answered them one by one. When he was about to finish, one of the Qianyanjun came over and whispered in his ear.

Then, Qianyanjun looked at Ying with a strange look, one that was both surprised and angry, but he maintained a businesslike attitude and spoke to Ying.
