Original God, I am the only designated Red King God Envoy of Xumi

A sparrow with wings and back the color of emerald landed beside Nashida, and a little red fox popped its head out from the grass by the river. Nashida took out a raspberry from her pocket. Seeing this, the little red fox jumped to Nashida's side, which scared away the green sparrow next to it, and it flew onto Amber's shoulder.

The red fox is a small animal that is very common in Teyvat. It is somewhat similar to the fennec fox, with dark ears, three vertical dark stripes on its back, a ring of dark hair on its tail, and a white tip.

They are omnivorous and like to eat sweet fruits like raspberries. They usually feed mainly on fruits and insects, and sometimes eat small birds like buntings. Maybe this little red fox is not afraid of people, or maybe Nacida is more popular with small animals, the red fox came to Nacida and started eating the raspberry.

Nashida tried to stretch out her hand. Her movements were very slow, as if she was afraid of scaring the red fox. But perhaps Nashida was worrying too much. When her hand was actually placed on the back of the red fox's neck, the red fox not only did not refuse, but rubbed the back of Nashida's hand affectionately.

"So cute..." Nashida gently combed the red fox's hair, which completely conquered the red fox. The person's flexible fingers could scratch the places that the red fox could not normally reach. In just a moment, the red fox lay on the stone with its belly exposed, and made a cry of enjoyment.

Amber looked at Nashida's happy face and the corners of her mouth rose. She stretched out her finger, and the sparrow on her shoulder flew to Amber's finger very humanly. Amber also took out a raspberry, and the sparrow began to peck at the raspberry. After a while, the sparrow was probably full and flew into the sky. The little red fox thought it was time to go home, so he rubbed the back of Nashida's hand again and left.

Amber took out a small harp and began to play along with the melody that suddenly emerged in her mind. Her playing technique could only be described as good, not excellent, but with the accompaniment of flowing water and the atmosphere provided by the moonlight, it still gave Nashida a very good experience.

After the impromptu performance, the two sat quietly for a while. Time slowly approached midnight, and then they walked into the cabin to end the day.

This leisurely life of having no burden on their shoulders, having a relaxed heart and doing whatever they wanted lasted for seven days, two days longer than the original plan. During these seven days, the two did many things that they usually had no chance to do, from climbing high to looking far into the distance to going down to the river to fish.

The two of them also took some time to go to Qingce Village to take a look at the village. It was much larger than they had imagined, and it was already larger than a regular town. It had its own small market and various facilities, and was self-sufficient in life - no wonder so many people who wanted peace and quiet came here.

In the past few days, Amber's cooking logic has been to use whatever she finds. Every meal can give Nashida a surprise. She never thought that there could be so many varieties in cooking.

"A little further to the right—" Amber pointed the camera in the direction of the cabin. Nashida was next to the cabin, sitting on a swing tied to a tree branch at the top. After these seven windy days, it was time for them to set off for Liyue Harbor. Before leaving, Amber suggested taking a photo of Nashida.

"Okay, that's it!" Amber pressed the shutter. The camera in her hand was an upgraded version. The current camera technology was very mature, and photos did not need to be processed as troublesomely as before. Amber took out the photos from the camera and put them into the album.

That page in the album was already filled to the brim, with eight photos in total, all of which were Nashida's experiences during these seven days. This album was originally used by Amber to record her own journey, but now there were quite a few photos of Nashida in it, and there would presumably be more in the future.

Nashida stepped down from the swing and took a last look at the hut she had built with her own hands. After suppressing her reluctance, she looked in the direction of Liyue Harbor, full of anticipation for her future experiences in Liyue Harbor.

They came with empty hands, so naturally there wasn't much they needed to take with them. The hut, along with the bamboo bed, table, chairs, and cutlery inside, were all left here. In the end, they only took the bamboo whistle with them. Amber held the cane in one hand and Nashida's hand in the other, and the two of them walked slowly towards Liyue Harbor.

At this time, there were still many people heading towards Liyue Harbor. Most of them were in a hurry. Among them, Amber, who was a little leisurely, seemed out of place with Nashida, but the atmosphere between the two was really enviable.

Compared to this leisurely atmosphere, the venue at Yujingtai in Liyue Harbor is much more busy. The ceremony of inviting the immortals will begin in a few days, and now is the time to complete the finishing work. After that, a final check for omissions and filling in the gaps will be needed. Ningguang is in charge of the ceremony this year, so it stands to reason that the arrangement of the venue and matters related to checking for omissions and filling in the gaps will also fall on her.

But the person in charge of finishing the venue at this time was not Ningguang, but Yuhengxing Keqing. She was serious by nature, and under her command, these tasks were carried out in an orderly manner. Keqing, who was a Yuhengxing, did not stand aside like a big boss, but lent a hand from time to time.

During a break in her work, Keqing looked up at the Jade Pavilion. It was the important period of the Immortal Invitation Ceremony. The Jade Pavilion had moved from the vicinity of Tianheng Mountain to the sky above Yujingtai. Its scale was slightly larger than when Amber first climbed up there. Ningguang had been expanding the Jade Pavilion. It was originally just a small house. To this day, Ningguang has spent a large part of the Mora she earned on the Jade Pavilion.

Keqing's eyes were filled with solemnity. Ningguang didn't put the matter in her hands to shirk responsibility, but because the circumstances of this year's Summoning the Immortals Ceremony were special. There were reliable reports that a large number of Fatui soldiers had illegally entered Liyue and gathered in the wilderness of Liyue. Some of them might have already sneaked into Liyue Harbor. What was being discussed in the Jade Pavilion was the countermeasures against the Fatui.

At this time, the temporary meeting in the Qun Yu Pavilion has come to an end. Tianquan Star and Tianshu Star have reached a decision. During the ceremony of inviting the immortals, Ningguang will stand in the open, while Tianshu Star will lurk in the shadows. No matter what conspiracy the Fatui have, they will strangle it in the cradle!

Chapter 33: Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals

"Narcida, it's time to get up." In the early morning, when the morning mist had not yet dissipated, Amber woke Nacida up. There was always some mist in the early morning of Liyue these days, and this mist would last until about seven o'clock. After getting up and washing up at a little after six o'clock, and slowly eating breakfast, the mist would almost dissipate, and it would be much warmer by then.

"Hmm..." Nashida slowly opened her eyes. There was still some confusion in her eyes from just waking up. Amber wiped Nashida's cheek with a hot towel. After that, Nashida yawned and woke up.

"Good morning, Amber." Nashida picked up the clothes on the side and greeted Amber while getting dressed. "How did you sleep last night?"

"It's okay, but the pillows provided in this hotel are a bit hard, and I'm not used to them in such a short time." Seeing that Nashida was awake, Amber turned around to wash the towels, and then hung them by the bed to dry slowly. At this time, a prepared breakfast was placed on the square table in the room.

Amber and Nashida have been staying in this hotel for three days. During these three days, Amber took Nashida to wander around Liyue Harbor. Basically, people like Hutao, Yaoyao, and Xiangling who are relatively not busy know that Amber brought Nashida to Liyue for a visit, but Amber didn't feel comfortable disturbing busy people like Keqing and Ningguang.

It's strange to say, Ying and Paimon obviously came to Liyue a few days ago, but Amber didn't see her these days, and didn't know what she was doing. However, today is the ceremony of inviting the immortals, and I think I will see the two of them there soon.

After Nashida got dressed and washed up, she came to the square table. She and Amber both had a habit of washing up as slowly as possible after getting up - they could not eat anything within ten minutes to half an hour after waking up, and they needed to wait for their sleepy stomachs to "sleep" for a while.

The two of them ate a relatively light breakfast while chatting leisurely. The time for the ceremony of inviting the immortals was at an auspicious time today, which was close to noon. There was still plenty of time and there was no need to be so anxious.

Compared to the leisurely Amber and Nashida, Ying and Paimon were more motivated. They rushed to Yujingtai early in the morning. In order to be as efficient as possible, they bought three baskets of buns for breakfast - two of which were for Paimon. Although she was small, she was a big eater.

The reason was that Ying was really scared. She was afraid that there would be so many people that she wouldn't be able to squeeze in. She had been fed up with the crowds in Liyue these days, but when she really arrived at Yujingtai, she found that she was wrong. It is true that there were many people coming to Liyue Port, which caused congestion in the market, but there were not that many people choosing to go to Yujingtai.

It can't be said that there aren't too many people, but it's not crowded either. This is probably because everyone has arrived at Liyue Harbor, and by then the news of the Immortal Invitation Ceremony will spread throughout Liyue Harbor in no time. Many people are not in a hurry or even plan to go to the venue. People like Ying who rush over in such a hurry will seem a bit stupid.

But since she was already there, Ying didn't plan to run around anymore. She simply decided to stay at Yujingtai and wait until the ceremony of inviting the immortals began.

The venue of the Immortal Invitation Ceremony was decorated quite exquisitely. Ying didn't understand it but was still shocked. She saw many huge copper furnaces. The base of the copper furnace was like an inverted lotus, the middle part was like a big pot, and the top was a copper building similar to a small pavilion.

Its workmanship is very fine, every pattern is just right, every brick and tile is so lifelike, and there are even many copper bells. Liyue is really exquisite in the aspect of sacrificial ritual vessels - there are seven such stoves, and in the center of the venue is a large table covered with a bright red tablecloth, and in front of the table is a huge copper stove that is five meters high and more than three meters wide.

Although they are called copper furnaces, the raw materials used in these furnaces are not all copper. They are alloys similar to bronze. Such materials have a long history and are usually only used to cast ritual vessels.

At this time, the table was empty, with only some slowly burning candles, and the seven copper stoves were all filled with people. They added incense into the stoves, and then put their hands together, closed their eyes, and devoutly recited something in their hearts. Ying and Paimeng came forward and realized that they were making a wish.

Probably because they were foreigners, in order to show the hospitality of the Liyue people, one of the worshippers gave Ying his unused incense and briefly introduced the process and origin of making wishes. After hearing the introduction, Paimon became very interested in making wishes. Ying was sure that Paimon must have taken the wish seriously.

But Ying was not averse to this ritual. With the idea of ​​seeking psychological comfort, she added incense to the incense burner and made a sincere wish to find her brother as soon as possible. The smoke in the incense burner was like Ying's wish, floating up to the sky.

Nothing interesting happened after that. Ying and Paimon stayed in the venue and chatted with other people in a random manner. This situation lasted for several hours before something happened.

Accompanied by the sound of a gong and the call of "Seven Stars enter!", with the help of the Qianyan Army who maintained order, people quickly made way. Then, a huge team stepped into Yujingtai. At the front were two teams of strong men carrying a deer statue each. They were all the most elite Qianyan Army. Following closely behind them were two crane statues, and behind them were two swimming fish. This is a common image of Liyue immortals, implying that all immortals have returned to their positions to wait for the Emperor.

Further back were two teams of women holding sacrificial items. They were elegantly dressed, and the plates containing meat, fruit and other sacrificial items in their hands were the same. They had rehearsed countless times, and at this moment, they performed the task in one go without any mistakes, placing the offerings one after another on the altar.

After these two teams passed, the real Seven Stars entered Yujing Terrace. The contemporary Tianquan Star Ningguang was dressed luxuriously and meticulously. She had abstained from meat and fish three days before the sacrifice and bathed every day to ensure the cleanliness of her body. All of this was for the ceremony of inviting the immortals.

Ningguang's demeanor was impeccable. Behind her were two secretaries from Yue Haiting, walking half a step behind her on either side. They came to the altar in an orderly manner and, according to custom, first burned incense and performed the ritual. Only after this series of troublesome steps did they actually begin the main song.

According to custom, the next step is to invite the Emperor in three times. At that time, the Emperor will appear in person in the form of half-scale, half-dragon to show his divine power. After that, Ningguang, as the representative of the Seven Stars this year, will report to the Emperor on Liyue’s work results and a series of achievements over the past year - these are also said to the surrounding people.

The Emperor will issue new laws and arrangements in the end, which is something that makes businessmen in Liyue both excited and worried. Ying looked at the orderly and smooth process of the sacrifice, and felt that the strong national strength of Liyue was a direct reflection of his own strength.

"The auspicious time has arrived." It was Ningguang who made the declaration. Her voice was not loud, but it was sonorous and powerful, which was closely related to the temperament of a superior that had been condensed through countless trials and tribulations.

Ying and Paimon's attention was completely drawn to Ningguang for a moment. They didn't notice that Amber, holding Nashida's hand, was standing very close to them. Seeing that Nashida couldn't see clearly, and being very curious about the scene, Amber simply picked Nashida up.

Nashida was obviously not very comfortable with this posture. She pursed her lips and ultimately said nothing. Compared to all these, the current ceremony of summoning the immortal was more attractive to her. She had been looking forward to this moment of meeting the Rock God for a long time.

"Respectfully welcome the Emperor--" The men and women who had been carrying the statue of the immortal and holding the plates now formed four teams and bowed in unison towards the altar. Their legs formed a right angle with their upper bodies, which was a great etiquette among scholars in Xumi.

After a request, Ningguang waved her hand gently, and four stones that looked like gold and jade appeared out of thin air and poured into the huge furnace. The originally dim patterns on the furnace began to emit golden light, and curls of golden flames rose.

"We respectfully welcome the Emperor—" The two teams of men and women knelt on one knee in unison, clasped their hands together and raised them above their heads, while lowering their heads. Their words were even more respectful, and Ningguang, who was standing in front of the altar, also followed suit.

By the third time, both teams of men and women had already knelt on their knees, with their foreheads and hands pressed against the ground. This is called prostrating oneself in Liyue, and is the most respectful etiquette.

"The ceremony is over—" As Ningguang made her final declaration, the golden flame in the copper furnace shot up into the sky. In an instant, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and the sky even changed color.

Everyone's eyes were drawn to the sky, including Nashida. She had imagined the scene of the Rock God appearing at the Immortal Summoning Ceremony many times, but the current scene was still beyond her expectations - after all, one had to see it with one's own eyes to truly know.

Gloomy clouds gathered over Yujingtai with the wind. Just a moment later, a golden light pierced through the dark clouds. Dawn was approaching and the Emperor was about to appear. Most of the people present subconsciously slowed down their breathing and did not even blink.

"..." Ningguang frowned as she watched all this. She suddenly had a bad premonition, and the fact was just as she expected. What followed the dawn was not the dawn, but a huge black shadow. It slammed heavily to the ground, knocking over the stove and the altar, and raising a cloud of dust.

"Cough cough..." For a while, the sound of coughing came one after another. When the smoke and dust settled and the current situation came into view, the crowd was filled with horror like a wave.

A mighty dragon appeared in the center of the venue. It was the image of the Emperor, but the dragon that was supposed to soar in the sky was now lifeless and fell to the ground like a dead object. The venue was in a mess.

Ningguang's eyes widened and then narrowed, a multitude of speculations flashing through her mind. Was it a conspiracy or something else? Was it the Fatui or those foreign thieves?

Even someone like Ningguang felt a surge of emotion. How could she believe what she was seeing? How could she believe that the Emperor who had protected and guided Liyue for thousands of years could suddenly pass away today?

Ningguang thought a great deal in a split second, and everything came together in one sentence. She waved her hand fiercely, her words resoundingly resounding: "The Emperor has been murdered. Seal off the entire area!"

The Qianyan Army, who had been waiting at an unknown location, split into two teams and quickly rushed into Yujingtai. They were wearing armor and holding spears. In just a moment, a murderous atmosphere filled the Yujingtai.

Chapter 34: The Trapped Yellow-haired Fool

"Ahhh! What should I do? What should I do? How could it be like this?!" Paimeng panicked when she saw this scene. She looked at Ying and said, "Ying! They are definitely going to check on suspicious foreigners now, right? Let's run!"

"There is, idiot." Facing the flustered Paimon, Ying seemed calm and composed. "I didn't do anything, why should I run? If I run, won't it prove that something fishy is going on?"

"You're right!" Paimon leaned over to Ying and tapped her forehead. Her mind suddenly started working better. "But have you ever considered that since arriving here, you've been so busy with this and that that you haven't reported to the office as the Qianyan Army instructed? Are you waiting to go to jail if you don't run away?"

"Hmm?" The tone was gentle, which showed doubt.

"Hmm——!" His tone rose, as if he suddenly realized something.

"Hmm..." And this silence is the calm before the storm.

"...Fuck! Run!" - And this is action.

Ying changed her expression frequently in just a few seconds. She did overlook one problem. If she had reported to the office before and the office had her information, it would not take long for her identity to be verified and cleared of suspicion. But the fatal point was that she did not report!

What did this mean? It meant that her identity was still a "suspicious foreigner"! It was even more suspicious because she had clearly received news of the Thousand Rocks Army at the bridgehead, but had not reported it!

Even though there was no guarantee that anything would actually happen, Ying couldn't be sure. Given the current situation, it looked like she'd definitely be in jail for a while, right? Ying pondered the situation briefly and made her decision. She deployed the skills she'd cultivated in the wild, walking like a cat without making any sound. She maneuvered through the numerous shelters, and surprisingly, for a moment, she remained undetected.

Compared to Ying's panic, Amber was in a completely different state. When she saw the silent dragon, Nashida was also horrified. She also did not expect that when she met the Rock God for the first time, she would see the Rock God's death scene!

"Don't panic, Nashida, look carefully, that's not real." Amber whispered a reminder when she saw this. Nashida subconsciously closed her eyes and sensed. This perception made her feel relieved - the dragon body in front of her was just an empty shell, without any inner substance.

This means that Yan Shen is still alive. He may have escaped when he was assassinated or he may have other plans, but it is not completely bad news after all.

"The current situation is special, Nashida, please don't make it public." Amber reminded Nashida in a low voice, and Nashida nodded. She didn't know the specific situation at the moment, so it was better not to make it public.

The Thousand Rocks Army had already begun lining up everyone present, apparently to record and check them one by one. Even though they knew that the Rock God was most likely not truly dead, the palpitations on Nashida's face had not completely disappeared. Everything that was happening at the moment was too fast and too horrifying. The expressions of most people were no doubt the same as Nashida's, and many were even more exaggerated.

"The thief is here! Catch her quickly!" Amber heard some commotion at this time, which came from the stairs of Yujing Terrace. She thought it must be some yellow-haired idiot, but Amber did not intend to interfere in this incident - on the one hand, she brought Nashida here to see the world, but on the other hand, it was just for fun, to make up for the time Nashida lost in imprisonment, there was no need to plunge into this muddy water.

"Hey...Nafei, why are you here?!" The voice came from a petite woman. Amber turned her head and saw that it was Qingque.

"It's the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, so I brought my friend's daughter here to see the world. But it seems I came at the wrong time." Amber made an uneasy and somewhat disappointed expression. "Xiangling, Hutao, and a few others knew I was in Liyue, but you were probably busy with the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, so I didn't bother you."

"Busy indeed..." Qingque sighed, a hint of uneasiness in her eyes. "Now's not the time for small talk. Since we're acquaintances, let me take charge of your investigation. Please tell me your personal information and that of your friend's daughter, and also tell me about your itinerary for the past few days."

It was really amazing to see Qingque working so hard. Seeing that there was no need to queue up anymore, Amber was also happy. She took Nashida to quickly complete the report. After that, Qingque signaled the two to be patient. After the investigation was completed, they should be able to leave safely. The more suspicious people would probably be left behind, but Amber had a relationship with Ningguang, so this would generally not be the case.

Amber felt the same way, so she waited calmly. Ningguang had been in the venue the entire time, but she was really busy, so Amber didn't bother her. Only after the investigation was completed and those who were preliminarily confirmed to be innocent were released did Ningguang notice Amber's presence.

"Although I have received the news of your arrival in Liyue, I didn't expect that our next meeting would be like this..." Ningguang's eyes showed a rare hint of fatigue. She had already put in too much energy to invite the immortals to perform the ritual and to guard against the Fatui in the dark. Her current mental state was not very good, but something like this happened at this moment.

"I understand. No one expected such an accident to happen." Amber's words were full of sympathy. Her sympathy was not false. She had also experienced the feeling of exhaustion like Ningguang was feeling at the moment. Before Amber introduced Nashida to Ningguang, Nashida took Ningguang's hand.

Ningguang was about to withdraw when she suddenly felt a warm power coming from Nashida's body to her. The fatigue in her body was soothed by this power, and her spirit was greatly nourished. In an instant, it was as if she had slept and woke up naturally. This situation was truly magical.

"Are you feeling better?" Nashida raised her head and looked into Ningguang's eyes. Her pupils with the four-leaf mark were full of concern. Ningguang relaxed a little in front of Amber, and the fatigue she inadvertently revealed naturally caught Nashida's attention, so she used her strength a little.

"...What is this?" Ningguang slowly withdrew her hand. Cautiously, she closed her eyes and sensed nothing. Nashida simply smiled and explained in a gentle voice, "It's just a little help. You look tired, after all."

"She is the daughter of my old friend, named Nashida. She used to be in poor health and seldom left the house. Recently, she has recovered since she obtained the Eye of the Grass God. In order to make up for the time she missed when she lived at home all the time, I brought her here." Amber explained. Ningguang looked closely and found a green crystal on the ornament that Nashida wore around her neck to cover up the traces of the doll.

This is of course not the real Eye of God, it is just a glass ball to fool people, but the workmanship is indeed realistic enough. Ningguang finally nodded and accepted this explanation.

"Thank you, Sister Nashida, for your help. If it weren't for the special circumstances right now, I would have done my best to play the role of a good host and treat you well." Ningguang thanked Nashida earnestly. She didn't look down on her just because she looked young. This kind of respect made people feel very comfortable.

"It's okay. We all know there's nothing we can do about this situation. Let's put it aside until it's over." Amber waved her hand. "Do you need my help?"

"Thanks for your kindness, but I won't." Ningguang declined Amber's offer without hesitation. "This is a Liyue matter, a massive event of unprecedented magnitude. It's not just Liyue people who are bothered by such troubles. I'm afraid you won't be uncomfortable. As you said, let's get together again after everything is over."

After she finished speaking, Ningguang was about to say goodbye. It was obvious that she was really busy, and she ended this hurried farewell with just a few words. As she turned around, Nashida walked over to Ningguang and gave her final instructions.

"This is only a temporary solution, okay? The fatigue hasn't completely gone away, you still need to get enough rest." Nashida's words were filled with natural concern, and this look didn't look out of place with her young appearance. This made Ningguang think of the little girl Yaoyao.

"I will." Ningguang responded with a gentle smile. She had a genuine fondness for the child, Tianquanxing, who held a high position. She reached out and rubbed Nashida's head, then left after a moment.

Amber walked up and took Nashida's hand, slowly leading her away from Yujing Terrace. The two chatted as they walked, the atmosphere as harmonious as ever - except that it was somewhat out of tune with the atmosphere in Liyue at the moment.

……

"...Think about it carefully. The Seven Stars sent out the Thousand Rocks Army to search for an assassin among the spectators, but can a mortal assassinate the God of War who swept through thousands of armies? The Rock King Emperor has never abandoned his military force." In front of the Northland Bank, the Fatui executive officer Gongzi explained his ideas to Ying. Ying was discovered on the way earlier, and it was he who saved Ying.

Because of the performance of the lady who was also an executive of the Fatui in Mondstadt, Ying and Paimon had a very bad impression of the Fatui. At first, they were very wary after learning that this person was the executive's son, but the words that Tartaglia said at that moment were really reasonable, which made the two of them unconsciously think about something else.

Seeing the traveler take the bait, Tartaglia crossed his arms and continued to guide him. "Those are the Seven Stars of Liyue. You two know how unlikely it is that someone in such a position is a fool. Heh... This crude response is unbecoming of theirs."

Ying narrowed her eyes slightly. Under such circumstances, she naturally came to a conclusion: "...is this to cover up the real murderer? Or is Qixing the real murderer, but wants to frame someone else?"

"I can't say for sure." Tartaglia spread his hands. He was a warrior and seldom used strategies, but here he used a trick. He took advantage of Ying's lack of understanding of the Seven Stars and deliberately guided Ying to think in a certain direction, and finally let Ying come to the conclusion herself - usually such a conclusion would make the person involved feel that it was his own conclusion, and thus believe it without a doubt.

"Although I also feel that your current situation is unfair—after all, no one wants to be suddenly blamed for something while walking down the street—the North Country Bank can't continue to delay the Thousand Rock Army's search for you two—but immortals have no taboos. That's why I gave you the 'Talisman of No Taboos' earlier."

The Talisman of No Taboos was given to Ying and Paimon by Tartaglia after they were invited here. Tartaglia explained that this was a "contract" made by the immortals, and that the immortals would not harm mortals holding the Talisman of No Taboos. At the same time, he also pointed out a way for Ying, which was to visit the immortals in Liyue Mountain, use the immortals' hands to clear his suspicion, and find out the truth at the same time.

"So I went to the Immortal to learn the truth, clear my name, and clear the Fatui of suspicion at the same time, right? Your calculations are quite clever."

There was still some wariness in Ying's eyes when she looked at Tartaglia. The reason Tartaglia initially gave for helping them out was that he wanted to use Ying, an outsider, to do something. Tartaglia repeatedly emphasized that the Fatui did not do anything in this matter, and at the same time seemed very distressed that the Fatui would be targeted by the Seven Stars because of this matter.

Although Ying felt that this was due to the Fatui's own aggressiveness towards other countries in diplomacy, she did not say it explicitly at the time. She had no idea that she had been tricked.

"Haha, if I don't ask for anything and help you for free, will you feel at ease? It is precisely because we have the same interests at this moment that my words are truly credible, right?" Tartaglia laughed. He seemed to have no intention of hiding his purpose at all. This guidance was a natural result. It seemed that he had grown a lot in this aspect in the past few years among the Fatui.

"Okay, let's set off without further ado. I'm waiting for your good news." Tartaglia handed a map to Ying. Ying took it and took a look at it. She sighed with a headache, and finally set out on the journey to find the Liyue Immortal helplessly.

Chapter 35: Sudden Change
