Based on Ying's understanding of those in power, they will not easily let down their guard against those they think are their enemies.

In Ying's imagination, Lin Ye had reached a deal with Ningguang of Tianquan Star.

Ying didn't know much about Lin Ye's identity and secret influence in Liyue Harbor, but she knew that the young man in front of her was not a simple person in Liyue Harbor.

The main reason is that Lin Ye doesn’t like to talk about the Lin Mansion, and he didn’t reveal his identity as a righteous partner, nor his relationship with Tianquan and Yuheng.

Hearing this, Lin Ye smiled at Ying.

"It's not really a request, it's just a favor."

"Do you have a good relationship with Tianquanxing?" Ying asked.

"We have cooperated before and our basic interests are the same."

"…Um."

"The Emperor has been murdered. Every Liyue person has to do something. I also want to do my part to find the real culprit, protect Liyue, and avenge the Emperor."

"Then who do you think the murderer is?" Ying's golden eyes were calm as she spoke.

"What do you think?" Lin Ye asked back, and he said meaningfully, "Do you remember what happened to us in West Wind Cathedral after the dragon disaster ended?"

"Fools?"

"Over the years, Mondstadt is not the only country that is tired of Fatui diplomats. They are also not welcome in Liyue Harbor."

“…The goal of the Fatui is the Heart of God.” Ying said.

There is a motive for the crime.

Lin Ye shrugged and could not deny it.

Seeing this, Ying was also silent.

However, Ying has an independent reflection in her heart.

When she and Paimon first arrived in Liyue Harbor, they saw the Emperor being murdered on Yujing Terrace. What happened afterwards made her very passive.

The high-level leaders of the Seven Stars of Liyue, will they doubt the Fatui like Lin Ye?

But some of them also cast suspicious eyes on themselves.

Shivering and cold.

Ying heard from Lin Ye that he tended to believe that the murderer was the Fatui, which was his opinion based on his experience and identity.

However, Wendy said that his divine power weakened because he gave up ruling Mondstadt, while the Rock God always walks with the people and has never abandoned His divine power. How could such a powerful god be secretly killed by the Fatui?

If it is a strife within the family, the problem comes from within...

Ying had heard a saying before: whoever makes the biggest profit will also be the most suspicious.

The Fatui had a motive for committing the crime, but what about the Seven Stars of Liyue? Ying had traveled through many worlds, and was not surprised by the drama of mortals killing gods and seizing power.

The Seven Stars of Liyue were hostile to Ying from the beginning, so Ying would not be polite, Ruiqi guessed.

In short, listening to both sides will lead to enlightenment, while listening to only one side will lead to confusion.

Lin Ye's position on the Emperor's murder may not be the same as hers. I need more information, Ying thought.

"Let's find a place to settle down first. Although I'm late, I still want to welcome you." Lin Ye smiled, his face clear and handsome.

"Then you have to eat delicious food. Generally speaking, expensive things taste good." Paimeng looked at Lin Ye and spoke some general truths.

"The first two recommended ones are Xinyuexuan and Liuliting. Many people have made reservations and the queues are open until next month."

"But I'll take you there next time. Let's go back to my house first and eat hotpot. Ahe and Solola asked me a long time ago when you would come to Liyue Harbor." Lin Ye said.

"it is good."

Ying didn't refuse, she wasn't a foodie like Paimon, and she also missed her two friends Shen He and Solora.

"Don't forget." Paimon reminded.

"Do not worry."

The three of them came to the Lin family in Feiyunpo.

Paimeng asked in surprise and excitement when he saw the scale of the Lin Mansion.

"Wow, your house is so big, so you are a rich man."

In this case, Paimon can let go and take advantage of Lin Ye's wallet.

"Didn't I tell you that I have quite a lot of money? You can stay here, there's no need for an inn, and you can stay as long as you want."

"Really?" Paimon blinked.

The remaining Mora can be used to buy delicious food.

"of course."

"Thank you." Ying said.

"You're welcome. I'm just doing my best to be a good host. We have Ah He and Sorolla at home. My mother also likes lively occasions, but she's not at home these days. I'll meet you later." Lin Ye said.

Lin Ye brought Ying and Paimeng back to the yard for dinner. The hot pot was still cooking and the ingredients were fresh and ready to eat.

Lin Ye left for something, and Shen He and Sorolla stopped eating and waited for him to come back before continuing to eat.

"Long time no see, Ying, Paimon." Shen He said unexpectedly, with a faint smile on his face.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Paimon sniffed. She had never eaten hotpot in Mondstadt before. It smelled so good.

Lin Ye asked Lin Bo to add two more sets of bowls and chopsticks, and the group finished their meal happily and joyfully.

After eating and drinking, Shen He and Solola took Paimeng to choose a room. Lin Ye and Ying sat down to drink tea while talking about their future actions.

"I have vouched for your innocence to Ningguang, but the Seven Stars basically know the 'direction' of the Emperor's Immortal Body. It is difficult to satisfy everyone, and you are still a suspect."

"In order to completely clear your name, we need to catch the real murderer this morning. Next, Ying, can you help me?"

Ying nodded, then looked thoughtful and asked.

"Lin Ye, have you ever seen the Rock God?"

"No. Generally speaking, the Emperor only shows up once at the Immortal Invitation Ceremony. I missed it last year because of something."

"I have no connection with the Rock God, so why did he point to me before he died? I don't quite understand." Ying said in distress.

“Perhaps there is a deep meaning behind this from the Emperor.”

Ying glanced at Lin Ye. Didn’t the Emperor die? Could it be that he was the kind of god who could calculate what happened after death?

“…Since the Fatui are the most suspicious, should we find a way to investigate them?” Ying asked.

"Qixing will investigate this matter." Lin Ye said, "Next, you have to go with me to meet the immortal."

"Immortal..."

"The people of Liyue call them the Three-Eyed Five-Manifested Immortals. Immortal culture is unique to Liyue. During the Demon-God War, the Immortals signed a contract with the Emperor to protect the people of Liyue."

"Now that the Demon God War ended more than two thousand years ago, the human world has become more prosperous. Most immortals prefer to live a simple life and hide in the mountains. Even today, many people still visit famous mountains and seek immortals."

"The Emperor has been murdered, and the immortals have stayed away from Liyue Harbor. They don't understand the situation, and misunderstandings are likely to occur. If we start a civil war among ourselves, it will be an advantage for the Fatui."

"Ahe is a disciple of the immortal. I have a close relationship with the immortal. I think it is suitable for me to come forward and lobby the immortal." Lin Ye said.

Oh, Ying understood.

Lin Ye is the son-in-law of the immortal...

There was a slight deviation in her understanding of Lin Ye's position.

after a while.

“…Will this affect the friendship between you and the immortal?” Ying asked meaningfully.

Lin Ye heard Ying's subtext and spoke frankly.

"Whether mortal or immortal, we are all subjects of the Emperor, and we are all Liyue people."

"The Emperor's murder is the first major event that Liyue has encountered since its founding. The current situation is turbulent. If the Emperor could sense it, he would be sad."

Ying knew Lin Ye's attitude.

It's not about individuals, it's about Liyue.

Ying nodded. She was more or less certain that Lin Ye was not from the Seven Stars faction, and was not swayed by the will of the Seven Stars, but had his own stance.

Chapter 462 Dadalia

Seeking immortality requires a talisman with no taboos, but Lin Ye and the immortal are acquaintances, just like meeting a leader and a friend, the former needs to bring a certificate, while the latter can go empty-handed.

In the afternoon, the news of the Emperor's murder swept across Liyue Harbor, causing unprecedented crazy discussion.

At this point, even if Mr. Yun from the Yunhan Society came on stage, it would be difficult to change the situation where the Heyu Teahouse had turned into a vegetable market, with everyone arguing.

The more the storyteller recounted the Emperor's deeds, the more he found it unbelievable that Prince Yan had died so suddenly and his soul had ascended to heaven, leaving them behind.

Some scholars also paraded through the streets to ask the Seven Stars for an explanation.

In Liyue Harbor, who is relatively closest to the Emperor? It must be the Liyue Seven Stars.

Now that the emperor has been killed and the head of the country is gone, what are you ministers doing? What are you doing?

It was not known whether some of the scholars in the parade were being manipulated by some people with ulterior motives, but they made such a big noise that the Qianyan Army had to withdraw manpower to maintain order. The streets were in chaos with chickens crowing and dogs clamoring.

The environment of Feiyunpo is quiet. Compared with the "bustling" Chihuyan, no one causes trouble.

Despite this, Ying could hear the noise outside from afar from the Lin Mansion.

She now realized how important the Emperor was to the people of Liyue.

Ying thought of Wendy, the bard, drunkard, and hey, if he died, would the people of Mondstadt mourn as a whole country?

Oh, in the eyes of the people of Mond, the wind god Barbatos is not in Mond at all, and Venti is dead. Except for those few people, the public will not know about it, so it's okay.

However, this also indirectly shows that Liyue’s dependence on gods is not only in terms of civilization development, but also in the natural order that is engraved in its bones - Liyue walks with gods.

The Emperor will always be Liyue's last pillar of defense.

Over time, the pillars will become chains that bind Liyue, a cradle of comfort and ease that prevents growth.

When Lin Xiaofeng came back and saw Lin Ye, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He then gave some instructions to Lin Bo, asking him to keep a good look after the servants and to be careful with his words and actions during this special period.

Then he left in a hurry as he had a meeting with the commissioner from the General Affairs Department.

If the Emperor is killed, Liyue Kingdom will not only lose its nuclear weapons deterrence, but will also suffer varying degrees of impact in terms of politics, economy and culture.

Many foreign businessmen took this opportunity to suppress the Liyue market. Lin Xiaofeng owned the largest bank in Liyue and had great influence. He wanted to help the Seven Stars and Eight Gates to overcome this difficulty.

When Ying met Lin Ye's father, she keenly noticed the subtlety in Lin Ye's attitude when talking to him.

Paimeng was curious about Lin Xiaofeng's identity, as if he was an important figure. She wanted to ask Lin Ye, but was stopped by Ying.

"Now everyone in Liyue Harbor knows that the Emperor has been killed, and it will soon reach the ears of the immortals. We should set off in half an hour without further ado," said Lin Ye.

"Where are we going to... look for the Immortal?"

"It is said that there are many immortal caves in Jueyunjian, Hulao Mountain and other places." Lin Ye said.

"How far is it?" Paimon asked with a sullen face.

"It's very far. It will take at least half a month to get there. So we'll go to Tianheng Mountain first. It's to the west of Liyue Harbor. There's a mountain path on Yujing Terrace."

"Don't they say that immortals stay away from the human world?" Paimeng tilted his head.

"Ah He's master, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun, came to visit my home a while ago. She has a good relationship with my mother, and they tinkered with some things together."

"what?"

"You'll know when you get there. Anyway, the stuff is so big that it can't fit in the house." Lin Ye said helplessly.

Paimon opened his mouth.

If a house this big can't hold it all, how big would that be?

Ying did remember that Lin Ye mentioned that his mother was not at home, and it turned out that she was in Tianheng Mountain.

Lin Ye, Ying, Paimeng, Shen He and Solola went to Tianheng Mountain together.

Lin Ye was thinking that if Liu Yun heard the news and got too excited, and since they were so close to Liyue Harbor, he might explode on the spot and suppress Liyue Harbor, the scene would be very chaotic.
