Their commission was suspicious.

Unless there are special circumstances, Chen Luo would not use the abilities of the Herrscher of Knowledge to influence the other party, because he would not be able to earn a commission that way.

"Don't worry, Keqing won't have time to catch you, Mr. Chen Luo, after a while. After all, she'll be busy with the Seven Stars Invitation Ceremony soon. But if you stay here, Mr. Chen Luo, if the other party dares to come over before the auspicious time, they might really hold you down for a long time," Ningguang said after thinking for a moment.

"Oh, I see. Thanks for reminding me. Shen He, Xiao Shi, Xi Lin, we should go now," Chen Luo said to the others.

"Ah Luo! What are you doing here?" Just as Chen Luo turned to leave, a familiar, tender voice rang out.

"...Shen He, Xiao Shi, Xi Lin, we should go." After hearing this voice, Chen Luo didn't even turn around, and repeated what he had just said, as if he hadn't heard the voice at all.

"You can hear me, right? You can definitely hear me, right?" The owner of the voice was slightly annoyed that Chen Luo was ignoring him.

"The mountains are high and the roads are long, let's meet again when the Seven Stars Invitation Ceremony begins." Chen Luo clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ningguang, then took the hands of the Herrscher of Knowledge and Shen He and quickly ran off into the distance.

After a moment of surprise, Xilin quickly flew over as well.

What happened? Why are you running?

Ningguang glanced at Chen Luo, who had run away, with a puzzled look, and then looked toward the source of the voice, where she saw a girl with short blonde hair and a mascot floating next to her.

Is this someone Chen Luo knows?

However, judging from Chen Luo's expression, it seems he doesn't want to get involved with the other party.

After thinking about it for a moment, Ningguang put the matter out of her mind.

After all, this had nothing to do with her, and Ningguang and Chen Luo weren't very familiar with each other. The other party had only carved a chessboard for her, and he hadn't even asked for any payment.

Since there's probably no chance of any further interaction in the future, there's no need to pay special attention. So Ningguang just glanced at the floating object and its owner in the crowd before heading off to another place.

Although a considerable portion of the affairs of the Seven Stars Summoning Immortals Ceremony were entrusted to Gan Yu, Ning Guang still needed to take charge of some matters.

And looking at Gan Yu, who was busy nearby, occasionally dozing off, she seemed to be working very hard. Does Yue Haiting's secretary have too much work to do? Should we ask Bai Wen and the others to help out?

It's also a good opportunity to give the other person a few days off so they can rest.

"Hey, Chen Luo, you definitely heard me calling you just now, right? Don't pretend you didn't hear me! You run away as soon as you see us, what do you mean by that? We even helped you complete so many requests!"

After chasing them out of Yujingtai, Ying and Paimeng finally managed to corner Chen Luo.

It wouldn't be appropriate to talk about blocking them, as Chen Luo seemed to have already stopped there and was waiting for the two of them, but this did not quell Paimon's anger.

What? I worked for you for several days, and when we met, you just ignored me and ran away.

"I need at least 10 servings of Tricolor Dumplings before I can calm down! 10 servings!" Paimon said angrily.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

“Okay, okay, it’s only 10 servings, right? I’ll give you 100.” Chen Luo said generously.

"Fine, I forgive you. But speaking of which, Chen Luo, why did you run away?"

"..."

Why did you run away? Of course, it's because I was worried that after the Seven Stars Summoning Immortals Ceremony, they would put me on the wanted list if I ran away.

I roughly understand why you're running away, and I can stop you, but if you don't run, who will they hunt down? And if they don't hunt you down, who will drive the plot forward? It can't be me, right?

I'm just here at Seven Stars to invite the Immortals to go shopping, not to run errands.

Unless you pay enough money.

Although Chen Luo was looking forward to fighting the Vortex Demon God, it didn't mean that Chen Luo had to run errands.

You must be the famous traveler, right? These things are better left to you.

"You might not believe it, but I came here to cool off," Chen Luo said, telling Paimon a lie that even he himself wouldn't believe.

"I see... my foot! Do you think I'd believe that? But whatever, I'll forgive you for the sake of the three-colored dumpling."

"Then I really have to thank Paimon. By the way, Ying, is that one-eyed little treasure any good?" After Chen Luo took out ten strings of tricolor dumplings to deal with Paimon, he turned to ask Ying.

As the creator of One-Eyed Treasure, Chen Luo felt it was necessary to receive feedback from users.

"It's still very useful. Whether you're using it to travel or to eliminate other monsters from a distance, it's quite useful." Yingmei gave it a thumbs up.

"That's good. Oh, by the way, let me tell you something: if you meet anyone in Liyue other than Mona, don't tell them you know me, or you might get into trouble," Chen Luo warned Yingmei and Paimon.

"Huh? What happened? Did you get into trouble?" Paimon asked in surprise as he ate a tricolor dumpling.

“Operating without a license and illegally occupying land, while not major crimes, could lead the other party to believe you’ve seen me and ask you to pay the fines, which could be quite substantial,” Chen Luo said seriously to the two.

You two better not say you know me, lest they put me on the wanted list too.

After all, Chen Luo and Ying Mei are the kind of people who don't even have ID cards.

The word "traveler" sounds nice, but isn't it just another way of saying "unemployed person"?

After all, who among us is going on a trip every day?

If you can't even afford a house, how dare you go on a trip?

"What? There's going to be a fine? Ying, we absolutely mustn't tell anyone we know Alo in front of others, otherwise... otherwise... I don't have any secret stash of money." Paimon said, pulling Ying's hand.

"I'm curious, what exactly did you do to deserve such a large fine?" Yingmei asked curiously.

"Rock King Emperor puppets, would you like to take a look? They can ward off evil spirits." Two Rock King puppets appeared in Chen Luo's hands.

Even now, Chen Luo hasn't forgotten to continue promoting his products.

Chapter 324 The Emperor is assassinated, Chen Luo is fined!

The Seven Stars Invitation Ceremony is an annual day for communication between humans and gods. On this day, the Rock God, who is usually elusive, will appear in a half-scale, half-dragon form, allowing people to witness the Rock God's splendor.

Unlike the Anemo Archon, who slacks off all the time, the Geo Archon at least shows up once a year to prove that it is still alive.

This day is always the most exciting day for merchants.

Although some businessmen don't want this excitement.

During the Seven Stars Summoning Ceremony, Zhongli... Morax will issue the latest divine oracle, guiding Liyue's business direction for the coming year, and these oracles always cause quite a stir.

As a commercial city, Liyue has countless merchants, and at this time of year, some are happy while others are sad.

The Seven Stars Invitation Ceremony is not like what is shown in the game, where only two secretaries and Ningguang stand there. In fact, if there are no unexpected events, the Seven Stars and some important people will be present to witness the ceremony.

At least Chen Luo saw Gan Yu, who hadn't appeared in the game, at the Seven Stars Summoning Immortals Ceremony.

And a Keqing who now seems quite serious.

Thank goodness, just as the Seven Stars Invitation to Immortals ceremony was about to begin, the other party didn't try to cause trouble for Chen Luo.

Moreover, the Jade Capital Terrace is not the same as the one in the game. The real Jade Capital Terrace is quite large, and there are a huge number of people who come to watch the Seven Stars Invitation to Immortals Ceremony. It can be described as a sea of ​​people.

Chen Luo's situation is not bad; at least he has the power of a Law Enforcer, which allows him to unconsciously make others move to the side.

Chen Luo even spotted some Fools and their leader, Young Master, among the crowd surrounding the Seven Stars Invitation to Immortals ceremony.

Oh, and there's also Zhongli, who's blending in quietly among the crowd.

Hmm, are you watching your own exit performance? Typical of you.

From any perspective, Chen Luo has gained a lot this time. First, he did make a lot of money from the raw stone rewards because of an agent who wanted to spy on him. Moreover, he also helped Shen He correct some of her mistakes in handling interpersonal relationships.

At least now Shen He no longer bangs someone's head on the floor three times; she only bangs it once.

Chen Luo and his group came to the Seven Stars Immortal Invitation Ceremony with Ying Mei and Meng, but Chen Luo and Ying Mei pretended not to know each other.

Chen Luo was afraid that when they issued a warrant for Ying Mei's arrest, they would also issue a warrant for his arrest.

Yingmei, on the other hand, was afraid that if Chen Luo ran away, the fine he owed would fall on her shoulders.

Chen Luo and Ying Mei have a great understanding of each other.

Ningguang shielded her eyes from the sun as she looked up at the sky. After judging the time by the sun's position, she lowered her hand, slowly walked to the front of the crowd, and, with her back to the altar and offerings, addressed all the spectators at the Jade Capital Terrace: "The auspicious time has arrived!"

Those words immediately silenced the crowd that had been whispering at the beginning, since no one dared to "offend" the Emperor during the Seven Stars Invitation Ceremony.

The other important figures surrounding the altar all stepped aside after hearing Ningguang's voice, which was not loud but exceptionally clear.

Ningguang's Eye of God began to glow slightly, and several earth-yellow gem crystals instantly formed around Ningguang from the rock element. These gem crystals began to rotate around Ningguang, and the rotation became faster and faster.

Ningguang pointed, and four Geo Gems instantly flew towards the huge furnace used for sacrificial rites, corresponding to the four corners of the Four-Sided Cauldron, and then embedded into the four devices.

Chen Luo, who easily squeezed into the vicinity of the Seven Star Summoning Ceremony surrounded by the crowd using the Herrscher of Knowledge ability, could tell that it was an elemental resonance device.

At some point, Ke Qing also noticed Chen Luo, who was at the front with several people, but after only glancing at Chen Luo, she continued to focus on the Seven Stars Summoning Immortals Ceremony.

Keqing understands the importance of prioritizing things; otherwise, she wouldn't have become one of the Seven Stars.

The elemental resonance device was activated, and the geomantic energy surged forth instantly, forming a huge pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.

Seeing this, Chen Luo was quite curious about how Ke Qing, who had hosted the Seven Stars Summoning Ceremony last time, had lit up this elemental resonance device.

After the yellowish-brown beam of light disappeared into the clouds, it stirred up a huge funnel-shaped cloud layer.

Before the onlookers could finish their astonishment, the huge funnel-shaped cloud was suddenly invaded by darkness. The original cloud was instantly eroded into dark clouds, obscuring the sky and earth, which looked extremely ominous.

Ningguang's expression changed slightly upon seeing this scene.

This doesn't seem like a normal scene of the Rock King descending.

It looks like something really bad has happened.

Sure enough, the next moment a colossal object fell from the funnel-shaped cloud, crashing down on the overturned altar, scattering offerings all over the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

After the smoke cleared, everyone discovered that what had overturned the altar was actually a lifeless divine body, and instantly everyone was thrown into chaos.

Seeing this, Ningguang quickly took two steps forward and stood in front of the Emperor's lifeless divine body, then squatted down to examine it.

Ningguang examined the Emperor's body with a grave expression before standing up. With a wave of her right hand, she shouted urgently, "The Emperor has been murdered! Seal off the entire area!"

Upon hearing Ningguang's voice, the Thousand Rock Army, who were guarding outside Yujingtai, quickly and orderly poured into the Seven Stars Invitation to Immortals ceremony site, forming a ring around everyone inside Yujingtai Temple.

The swift death of the Rock King and the rapid entry of the Thousand Rock Army caused some panic among the surrounding people, leading to a crowd that began to swell. However, intimidated by the weapons and numbers of the Thousand Rock Army, the crowd gradually dispersed under their guidance and was then checked one by one.

Then... Chen Luo noticed Ke Qing walking towards him.

"..."

No, are you only interested in me?

However, after thinking about it carefully, Chen Luo realized that he did indeed seem to be quite suspicious.

First of all, Chen Luo was one of the suspicious people who were too close to the scene. Because Chen Luo was in one of the closest positions to the scene, Ke Qing was able to lock onto him immediately.

Secondly, Chen Luo's identity is also problematic. Chen Luo is the kind of person who has neither identity documents nor temporary certificates, belonging to the "three-no" group.

Moreover, Chen Luo's power is quite special. To those unaware of the situation, Chen Luo possesses the power of immortal mechanical arts, and his other powers are also exceptionally mysterious. At least, the power of the Eye of God has not yet been revealed.

In short, he is mysterious, possesses special powers, is too close to the Seven Stars Summoning Ceremony, and also has the Eye of God...

It has to be said that Chen Luo is the kind of person who needs special attention.

The good news is that when Chen Luo saw Ke Qing walking towards them, he also saw Gan Yu looking in their direction.

Senior Sister Gan Yu, save my life!

"So, do you have anything to say?" Ke Qing stood in front of Chen Luo with her arms crossed.

"And if you're so capable, then run again," Ke Qing said unhappily.

This guy is incredibly fast; Ke Qing caught glimpses of him several times, but couldn't catch up with his taillights.

"There's no way to escape now," Chen Luo said helplessly.

We can't run now, and we can't run away anyway. The Thousand Rock Army is all around us. How can we run?

Of course, it's not that you can't run, it's mainly because...

[Ding! You have a new request!]

【Stop running!】: Stop running, stop running, it's not like I'm going to kill you, why are you running so fast?

Reward: 100 Primogems

Difficulty: Two stars

"Emmm..." Upon seeing Ke Qing's request, Chen Luo suddenly realized something extraordinary.

[Ding! Mission complete]

This task is very simple; you just need to stand still.

Since Keqing didn't have such a strong obsession with the Rock King puppet, but has such a strong obsession with capturing Chen Luo, then if Chen Luo is captured by Keqing once, escapes immediately after completing the mission, commits another crime, and then Keqing has to catch him again...
