I'm not feeling right when I transform into Keqing

Ningguang rarely had such a situation where she couldn't finish a sentence.

“The Immortal Lord you mentioned before... is it Keqing?” Ningguang asked.

Ganyu didn't say anything, it must be difficult to say.

Although many people knew about this matter, most people would never have thought of it, and even her master didn't believe it.

"There is a legend in Liyue that the land of Qingce was originally a large lake, where evil Chi was causing chaos and the people were living in misery." Ningguang suddenly talked about history, "Until one day, an immortal king came riding a crane. She attracted thunder from the sky and killed the evil Chi in the lake. The Chi's body turned into Qingce's fields, allowing glass flowers and wheat ears to thrive. The Chi's blood turned into Qingce's clear stream, making the fish and elves cheer for joy."

Looking at Ningguang, Ganyu was silent for a moment and then said: "I wonder... where did Ningguang hear this legend from?"

Ningguang smiled: "Although most of the young and middle-aged people in Qingce have forgotten this legend and prefer to come to the more prosperous Liyue Port to fight, but if you go to Qingce and ask an old lady, she will tell you the same thing."

It was easy for Ningguang to collect this kind of information, especially since she could ask, and with the free words of several True Lords before her.

Ningguang has most likely already confirmed the Immortal Lord's identity.

Thinking of this, Gan Yu could only shake her head and said, "I have heard of this legend, but I cannot guarantee its authenticity because... I have not seen it with my own eyes. Perhaps you can ask my master, she should know better than me."

"Ask Immortal Lord Liuyun?" Ningguang laughed when she heard this. "Didn't Ganyu see the look on your master's face just now? She was certain that Keqing was not an immortal lord."

This... Ganyu has no solution.

More than ten years ago, the master often reminisced about the time when he fought side by side with the Immortal King. Even when he told Ganyu about it, there seemed to be a hint of reverence in his eyes.

But that night, when a child was born, everything changed.

The master seemed to disagree with the fact that the Immortal King was a human being, even though the person who called them to the back mountain of the wing room was the Emperor himself.

In other words, the Emperor has made it clear, but Master Liuyun just refuses to acknowledge it.

“But it doesn’t matter. Legends are just legends after all. It’s been too long. Whether it’s true or not doesn’t mean much now.” Ningguang said, looking at the blue-haired Ganyu: “What I really want to ask is... what kind of person was the Immortal King at that time?”

what kind of person?

Ganyu recalled the past, as if she had found a notebook recording the past in a dusty box in the attic. After opening the notebook, she flipped through it for a long time and finally found the day when she met the girl.

"Powerful, considerate and very thin." Ganyu said softly.

Ningguang was puzzled: "Very thin?"

"Ah, nothing." Ganyu waved her hand and lowered her head, seeming a little shy.

Ningguang thought about Ganyu's comments and found them a bit strange. Logically speaking, with Keqing's personality, even if she really was the Immortal King, she should have encountered many obstacles.

“Is that Immortal King a perfect person in your eyes?” Ningguang asked again.

Perfect……

Ganyu put her hand on her chin, lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said: "It's not perfect..."

She didn't know if it was a good idea to say it, but it seemed to be the truth, and it shouldn't matter after so much time had passed.

Besides, the Immortal King is not here at the moment.

Thinking of this, Ganyu felt relieved and told the Immortal King about some of his flaws.

"The Immortal King just...his memory might be a little bad." Ganyu said.

"Not so good at remembering things?" Ningguang showed surprise on her face, then frowned slightly. She actually thought Keqing had a good memory.

He even remembered the engagement we made when we were kids. Even if he ate fish eyes every day, it wouldn't be like this.

"Does Ningguang know what the Immortal King did?" Ganyu also asked Ningguang at this time.

“If it was three days ago, I would know that she went to find out the truth about the assassination of the Emperor, but now it is not clear.” Ningguang shook her head slightly.

It is known that the Emperor is still alive, so the reason for Keqing to leave is not valid. She has not come back in these three days. Ningguang is also very puzzled. Could it be that it is really as Ganyu guessed, that Keqing is being taught skills somewhere?

But this is just like what the immortals said before, whether it is passing on skills or restoring memories, there is no need to "fake death".

This "fake death" looks like a cicada escaping from its shell.

Ningguang then asked back, "Don't you know either?"

Gan Yu shook her head: "After the Emperor asked me to pass on the imperial decree, he just told me to listen to the Immortal Lord."

"The Immortal Lord asked me to stay at Wangshu Inn, and I have been staying there until now."

Ningguang sat on the chair, thinking for a moment, and then said: "Did the Emperor tell you what she wanted to do? There are only two of us here. If you tell me, I won't tell anyone else. I swear."

Although Ningguang was trustworthy, Ganyu still shook her head slightly because she didn't know.

"I don't know what the Emperor wants to do, I just know that the Emperor seems to be in a very good mood recently."

After seeing Ganyu off, Ningguang was also in deep thought.

"It seems that the Emperor really wants to be a hands-off boss..."

"'Song Tu' set up the chess game just to pave the way for the 'new shopkeeper' and establish his prestige. He even went so far as to create a turbulent moment so that she would not refuse."

After saying this, there was silence for two seconds, and Ningguang suddenly smiled.

"Interesting, I didn't expect there are people who think highly of you than I do."

Chapter 110. Hearing the sound of the flute

Two days later, as Ningguang met the traveler, the undercurrent in Liyue Harbor surged again.

Although Ningguang didn't say anything special to the traveler, she just met her briefly and asked her how she met Keqing.

But at this juncture, Tianquan, who is currently the actual ruler of Liyue, met the legendary immortal two days ago and now has to meet a stranger.

This not only shocked the merchants of all sizes who had been keeping an eye on the Qun Yu Pavilion, but also made some people from the dark feel a sense of urgency.

Liyue... is about to change.

"Although Ningguang's meeting with the Traveler can divert the attention of the general public in Liyue Harbor from the death of the Geo King, it will alert the executor to the enemy."

In the Jade Pavilion, Ganyu asked Ningguang.

Ningguang looked at the topaz lion sculpture on the table and said softly, "If this is really the test question that the Emperor left for Qixing, then 'Shock the Snake' is just a bonus item."

"Bonus points?" Ganyu was a little confused.

But at this time, Ningguang also looked behind her: "They are coming."

Looking back, Ganyu found two people walking down the spiral staircase of the Jade Pavilion. They were Grandma Ping and Xiao.

"It seems that Ningguang has completed the task very smoothly." Grandma Ping looked at Ningguang and said with a smile.

Ningguang stood up and bowed slightly to Grandma Ping as a junior.

"Thanks to grandma's guidance."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the cold-faced Yaksha and bowed with a smile: "And the help of the Great Sage who conquers demons."

"I'm just fulfilling the contract and protecting Liyue." Xiao said, then walked to the corner and leaned against the wall without saying a word.

As for Grandma Ping, she smiled and shook her head. "You are too polite, Tianquan. I didn't say anything. You are the only one who guessed it. As for the Great Sage who conquers demons, it is just as he said. He only tampered with the traveler's talisman in order to protect Liyue so that the three of them would not be able to tell that it was a fake."

"Then those three will really come here and question you."

"Eh? Was it Xiao who did it?" Ganyu on the side was also surprised.

Ningguang was clear that what Xiao meant by "fulfilling the contract" was to cooperate with the Emperor's deception and create conditions for that person who didn't know where to appear.

But she didn't quite understand why the Emperor only told the truth to Xiao and Granny Ping, and didn't reveal any of the other three True Lords, and even Ganyu only revealed a little.

Is it because the Emperor doesn't trust them?

Ningguang also asked with confusion.

When Ningguang asked, Granny Ping smiled but didn't answer. Ganyu also didn't know anything. Instead, Xiao, who was leaning against the wall, opened his eyes and said, "Because the acting skills of those three people are really not that good."

Ning Guang: "..."

Ningguang held her chin in her hand, somewhat speechless.

So this is the reason? She thought about it for two days but still couldn't think of this.

But if you think about it, it is true. There is no need to mention Grandma Ping, her acting skills are certainly unquestionable as she is a fairy living in seclusion in the city. Xiao is also a cold-blooded Yaksha who always appears and disappears mysteriously, and Ganyu is working all day long. These two don't need too much acting skills.

But it was different for those three. If they knew the plan, they would not only not come to Liyue Harbor when faced with the news of the Emperor's death, they might even talk and laugh.

“Isn’t all this just for the sake of showing off to the executive officer?” Ningguang asked after thinking for a moment.

“I don’t know about that.” Grandma Ping smiled and said, “The Emperor is the God of Contracts. Everything he does is to create the most suitable contract for Liyue. This is her promise to the ancestors of Liyue, and it is also her own contract.”

"But no matter what she did, she must have her reasons."

Ningguang nodded slightly at Grandma Ping’s words, and the same went for Ganyu and Xiao.

Although Ningguang felt that it was unnecessary to go to such great lengths just to ask the young master to dig out the hidden dangers buried in the land of Liyue and its surrounding areas, the Emperor must have his own reasons for doing so.

What is the ultimate truth behind this? Maybe we will only know it when it happens.

"It's been a while since Keqing left, right?" Grandma Ping asked Ningguang.

Xiao and Ganyu also looked at her.

Ningguang nodded: "Today is the seventh day."

"That should be soon." Grandma Ping said softly.

Gan Yu's eyes lit up at this time, and she took a step forward: "Grandma Ping means..."

“When she comes back, it should rain in Liyue.” Grandma Ping said, looking out the window.

At this moment, the originally clear sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds, and then a roar from the deep sea in the distance resounded throughout every corner of Liyue Harbor.

All the players' lights were blown out, windows were broken and walls collapsed, as if the earth's crust had shattered and a major earthquake had occurred.

This noise...it couldn't have been made by some Fatui executive, but that thing.

Ningguang looked at Grandma Ping, who was also a little surprised: "So fast?"

Several people came to the outside of the Qun Yu Pavilion, and the three immortals who were originally in Tianheng Mountain also flew to the Qun Yu Pavilion.

There was a heavy rain pouring down from the sky, but after the three immortals landed, they had no intention of going to the pavilion to rest. Instead, they looked behind them.

A huge snake-like water demon with several heads came into their sight.

"The Whirlpool Demon God..." Gezuki Tsukuyo said in surprise, "How could it be released?"

"It should be the talisman with no taboos." Li Shui said.

"But doesn't Ningguang know that the guy is making the Hundred Unrestricted Talisman?"

Liu Yun was slightly puzzled: "I remember Ningguang said that it was the Emperor's intention to let that human release the demon god, so Ningguang didn't stop it, right? Isn't this the hidden danger that the Emperor wants to eliminate?"

"So if that's the case, where is the Emperor now?"

The immortals suddenly became nervous. If the Emperor did not show up, this thing would be a very tricky threat to Liyue Harbor.

Even Ningguang's expression was somewhat solemn. She had only heard of the legend of that thing, but she did not expect that it would still be so powerful after such a long time.

So powerful that it is somewhat beyond expectations.

If this is an exam for seven stars, it's a bit too much.

At this moment, Xiao next to Ganyu was suddenly stunned and looked towards the distant north.

This look also made Ganyu a little confused: "What's wrong?"

"I heard the sound of the flute." Xiao said in a low voice, frowning slightly.

"Flute sound?"

Xiao closed his eyes slightly and listened carefully in the heavy rain.

The sound of the flute amidst the rain was faint but... reassuring. Yes, that was the sound of the wind.

"It's the adults who are calling my name..."

Xiao murmured softly, then put on the Nuo mask.

As a green light emanated from his whole body, Xiao transformed into a huge green roc with golden feathers on its wings and tail. It flew away from the Qun Yu Pavilion, leaving the rainstorm and heading north with two green tracks.

This also surprised everyone.

Especially Liuyunjifeng, who stayed in place. This was not the first time, and this time it was even more excessive. This time, Xiao actually transformed directly into his original form just to speed up.

"This Yaksha actually deserted the battlefield again!"
