There was no other choice, Keqing had to give it a try. She didn't think she could understand music better than the new wind god in front of her.

When Keqing touched the flute to her lips, the illusory figure of the young boy disappeared in the sky. With the sound of the flute, it turned into wind and drizzle, sprinkling to the ground and onto Xiao's body.

After a long time, with the help of the wind, drizzle and flute music, Xiao slowly opened his eyes, and his golden eyes became extremely clear.

He looked at Keqing, then slowly lowered his body: "I will never forget your kindness..."

Seeing that Xiao had returned to normal, Keqing breathed a sigh of relief. She now had completed the Emperor's mission.

But just as she was about to step forward to help Xiao up, Liuyun on the side stretched out his wings to block her.

"Don't go over there, he might attack you by surprise."

elf:"……"

Chapter 100. Back to the episode

After returning from the snow, the crane carried Keqing to the dusty land in the south, and on the ground under the sky, a green figure followed closely behind.

Keqing, sitting on the back of the crane, looked at the flute in her hand, feeling a little troubled.

Xiao's recovery to normal is inseparable from the new wind god. The flute in his hand is more like an ordinary musical instrument.

At least from Keqing's point of view, there was no special aura on it.

However, after helping Xiao get up, Keqing also asked Xiao.

It seemed that the sound from the green flute given by the wind and the wolf could calm his distracting thoughts and karma.

Even from a very far distance, one can hear the music that Xiao described as "dream-like".

In other words, the function of this flute is only to dispel the evil thoughts and karma of the devil that has infected Xiao's heart.

But Keqing obviously couldn't stay here forever, and she was ready to hand the flute over to someone she trusted more.

After the crane and the green light disappeared into the dust, Keqing finally returned to the beautiful Guiliji.

And at the moment they landed, several deer and cranes flew out from the gray palace in the distance. They were the immortals sitting under the Emperor.

Keqing walked down from Liuyun's back, and the immortals immediately saw an expressionless green figure leaning against a tree not far away.

Xiao is a solitary person by nature, but they found that his aura was extremely stable, and the evil thoughts that were so prevalent during the last preparation for battle had completely disappeared.

"Golden Winged Yaksha is really...normal now?"

"seems like it……"

Keqing nodded slightly: "Due to the karma accumulated over the years and the influence of the evil power of Ruotu and some other demon gods, Xiao could not control his consciousness, so he chose to leave for the land of evil beasts to avoid harming innocent people."

"With the help of Feng, most of the karma and evil thoughts in Xiao's body have dissipated. Although they are not completely eliminated, at least his consciousness can definitely take the lead. He will no longer be unable to recognize the things in front of him and fall into madness like before."

Keqing's long speech sounded simple and casual, but it stunned all the immortals.

"The Great Sage who Conquers Demons fled from the battlefield in order to avoid harming innocent people. The Emperor did tell us this... But Immortal Lord, what do you mean by the help of the 'wind'?" asked a brown deer fairy. This person was the Emperor's disciple, Xueyue Zhuyang.

Another Crane Immortal nodded and said, "Yes, and where is the 'Evil Beast Land' you mentioned? When we were discussing the battle plan in Guiliji before, we heard an explosion and saw a purple light in the north. We thought you had an accident."

"Moreover, after the purple light, there was a mournful cry that resounded in all directions. The Emperor put down the book and looked towards the north with a look of surprise, as if something big had happened." Another immortal also lowered his head and said, "The other Yakshas are not here, so it is not easy for us to go and inquire. Liuyun, Immortal Lord, and Great Sage, do you know what happened?"

"Why do you have so many questions?" Liu Yun shrank his body and flapped his wings: "Can we go see the Emperor first?"

The immortals all felt ashamed after being reminded of this. They were only concerned with their own curiosity and had not even had a sip of water when others just came back.

Several immortals immediately stepped aside and made way.

And Liu Yun also said to Xiao: "Come with us."

Xiao remained unmoved. He lowered his head and looked at the weeds on the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Come here, the Emperor should want to see you too." Keqing said.

After a moment's silence, Xiao followed the man and the crane towards the palace.

This ordinary scene caused the immortals to have a heated discussion with each other after they left.

"I didn't expect that the weird immortal who suddenly appeared actually found the Great Sage who Conquers Demons. The Emperor's vision is still so sharp." Xie Yue said.

"Of course, but what surprised me is that Xiao is actually willing to listen to someone other than the Emperor, and from the look on his face, he seems to be very respectful to the Purple-haired Immortal." A blue deer fairy also nodded.

"Why didn't I see that?" He Xian Lishui asked curiously.

"Lishui, you have small eyes, that's normal."

"..."

Xie Yue on the side was silent for a while, then said, "Xiao usually doesn't even bother to say a word to us. He is always killing evil demons. Although that is the duty of Yasha, now his eyes do have more humanity besides murderous intent."

"You are all talking about Xiao. No one cares about what happened that surprised the Emperor?" Yixian asked.

As a person who likes to study ancient artifacts and the universe, Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun was of course very interested in that. After pondering for a while, he said, "The immortal said that they found Xiao from the north, and the immortal looked quite weak. In addition, I just observed that the number of evil demons in the north seems to have increased dramatically, as if after the fall of a certain demon god..."

"Lishui, you don't mean to say... that Chilong was killed by Xiao, right?"

"No, considering what Yi Xiao said before, I think Chilong...may have been killed by the Immortal Lord."

After he said this, all the immortals thought that Li Shui had become stupid from reading so much, and they all thought it was impossible.

……

……

After entering the palace, Keqing discovered that apart from two Thousand Rock Soldiers guarding the door, there were no guards inside.

You can even see some ordinary mortals carrying some food and buying dishes.

Although this place is called a palace, it actually looks more like a market.

"The Emperor should be on the second floor. I won't go up with you." Liu Yun said, then looked at Xiao. There was still a hint of doubt in her eyes.

However, with the Emperor in charge, even if Xiao went crazy again it shouldn't have much of an impact. She gave Keqing a look to urge her to be on guard and then left.

Keqing walked in front, and Xiao always followed her three steps away. They went up the stone stairs to the second floor, and Keqing also met the Emperor in a room.

She was wearing a white robe and sitting cross-legged on a bamboo bed with her eyes closed. There was a burner of incense burning not far in front of her.

The Emperor seemed to be practicing.

And when she stepped into the room, Zhong Li opened her eyes and smiled.

"came back?"

Keqing nodded slightly, then made way for him: "I brought Xiao back."

Xiao stepped forward and knelt on one knee: "Emperor... I..."

"Since you're back, that's a good thing." Zhong Li said, looking at Xiao: "The battle is about to begin, the other Yakshas are waiting for you, go and join them."

Xiao looked surprised because the Emperor did not punish him or even scold him.

"As ordered."

After Xiao retreated, Keqing also looked at Zhong Li.

“Although Xiao has regained his sanity, he has been fighting all year round, and he may be contaminated by karma again.” Keqing took out the green flute and said, “This item can soothe his emotions and help him protect his mind.”

Keqing had already considered giving the flute to Zhong Li on the way, because she couldn't stay here until a thousand years later.

And when it comes to someone to "trust", Keqing only thinks of Zhong Li, not because of her personality or character, but simply because she will be the future god of Liyue.

No one should care more about Liyue's well-being than her.

Not to mention that she is Xiao's master.

However, unexpectedly, Zhong Li slowly shook his head and rejected her seemingly insignificant request: "This is your contract, not mine."

It seems that what Zhong Li meant by this is that she wants Keqing to keep Xiao under control in the future, but the problem is that Keqing is not from this era.

Keqing frowned: "But if I leave, Xiao will..."

Before Keqing could finish, Zhong Li interrupted her with a smile: "I heard that you killed the Chilong?"

The news of killing Chilong should be known to Liuyun and Xiao. They followed me all the way here and had never seen the Emperor before.

So what Zhong Li said was just a guess, or maybe it was another trap for her.

Looking at the smiling Zhong Li, Keqing did not answer immediately, but remembered Liu Yun's instructions.

After a pause, Keqing shook her head: "No."

Keqing learned her lesson now, because she knew that if she agreed, Zhong Li might ask: "Are you interested in killing another Ruta Dragon King?"

She would never work for free again, not to mention that she had already killed a Chilong. If she risked her life to kill Ruota, and then returned to find that the history of Liyue Harbor had been rewritten and everything had changed, then it would be all over.

Unless Zhong Li can offer her an offer she can't refuse.

For example...

"That's a pity." Zhong Li said regretfully, "If you had killed the Chilong, then you would definitely be qualified to inherit the Stone Heritage."

Chapter 101. Names given by the Immortals

This is a bit unreasonable.

Keqing was a little angry, but Zhong Li's next words made Keqing happy.

"By the way, my friend unlocked the lock." Zhong Li said with a smile.

"Unlocked?" Keqing was surprised, and then immediately asked: "What's in it?!"

Zhong Li took out a square wooden box from behind him and placed it in front of Keqing.

After Keqing took it and opened it, she immediately saw a flower.

A gray rock flower.

"This……"

"This is what's in the lock." Zhong Li said.

Keqing frowned: "But...isn't this just an ordinary stone sculpture?"

"Yes." Zhong Li nodded. She looked at the stone flower. The flower did not have any special fluctuations, nor was it carved from any jade treasure. It was just an ordinary stone flower.

Keqing wondered whether the flower was really something in the lock, but then she remembered that Zhong Li had no need to lie to her. Moreover, if she looked closely, she saw some fine lines on the stone flower, which were exactly the same as the lines on the surface of the lock.

However, no matter how delicate and exquisite it is, it is just an ordinary stone sculpture.

But this was actually spoken by the Emperor.

Suddenly, Keqing thought of something.

That is, the emperor is Zhong Li, and when Zhong Li outside saw that she had obtained the lock, the first thing she did was to lead her to the sealed place.

This thing... is just a reason for me to come here? Keqing was stunned and thought to herself.

Zhong Li looked at the stone flower and said, "According to my observation, this should be something that has more symbolic value than practical use."

This is already a very intelligent statement. In fact, it is just a stone that is too heavy to move. It is just the "bait" used by Zhong Li outside to lure Keqing here.

Thinking that she had been fooled, Keqing turned her head to look at Zhong Li, staring straight at her.

As the King of Geo, Keqing could not believe that Zhong Li would resort to such tricks, although this was done by Zhong Li outside.

There was a hint of anger in those purple eyes, which made Zhong Li feel strange. She didn't seem to say anything to make Keqing angry.

"I was the one who killed that dragon." Keqing said while crossing her arms, revealing her cards.

Zhong Li was of course not surprised to hear this news. She just looked at her and smiled: "I knew you could do it."

"You knew I was going to kill that Chilong?"

"Of course not. I just thought you could bring back Xiao, but I didn't expect you to kill Chilong. This saves me a lot of effort. Later I just need to settle the refugees in Qingce." Zhong Li said honestly.

"But from what you said, you knew there was a Chilong there?" Keqing didn't quite agree with her statement. She frowned and asked, "Then why didn't you tell me about this before I went there?"

"I thought Liuyun would tell you, and I didn't know you would fight." Zhong Li held his chin and thought for a while: "From what I know, the Chilong is sleeping in the lake to accumulate strength, and you just need to find Xiao, there should be no need to fight with it."

This was the reason why Zhong Li was surprised at the time. She felt the wailing and evil spirit that could only be emitted by the death of a powerful demon god in the north, and for a moment she thought that there was something wrong with Xiao.

But then I thought that although Xiao is the most powerful among the immortal Yakshas, he definitely can't cause such a big fuss.
