Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

The next day, after everything that had happened before had been settled, today was the day for the ceremony of sending off the immortals.

Ying and Paimeng came to Yujing Terrace and wanted to watch the ceremony of sending off the immortals.

Although the two knew that the main character they were going to send was fake, they had spent so much time preparing for it that it would be a pity not to go and see it.

When they stepped into Yujing Terrace, they could hear discussions from the people around them from time to time.

They were discussing the assassination of the Emperor and who the suspected murderer was. They were also discussing the person behind the release of the Demon God in the Sea.

During this process, some people began to speculate whether these two incidents were related to the Fatui, and this view was quickly agreed upon by people around them.

Then, the people's emotions gradually became agitated, and accusations and condemnations against the Fatui arose one after another, filled with anger and dissatisfaction.

This also reflects that the Fatui are indeed very unpopular in Liyue.

This situation may be the result of the Seven Stars' deliberate indulgence, or even their active promotion.

After all, they knew that the assassination of the Emperor had nothing to do with the Fatui, but the act of releasing the demon god Osel was done by the Young Master himself, and the Fatui could not escape the connection.

By taking advantage of this, one can divert people's confusion and sadness over the loss of the emperor.

Liyue will soon enter an era of rule by man, and will need a stable base of popular support anyway.

In this context, by diverting the people's possible discomfort with the Seven Stars' full power into anger and dissatisfaction with the Fatui, the Seven Stars gained the opportunity and conditions to arrange the future development direction of Liyue.

Yingmei and Paimon were not aware of these political twists and turns. When they saw the Qianyan Army not far away was about to make an announcement, they walked forward to listen carefully to the specific content.

As the Qianyan Army soldier who read the notice spoke a bunch of classical Chinese, Paimon had a confused expression on her face. She didn't understand what it meant.

"Um...well...Ying, can you help me translate what the Seven Stars' announcement said?" Paimon asked embarrassedly.

Yingmei touched her chin, her eyes a little puzzled: "He said the cause of the emperor's death was "overcoming the tribulation"? "

"Huh? Qixing's words turned out to be like this?" Paimeng was also a little confused.

"This doesn't seem right. Why would they give up on tracking down the murderer so quickly? And this reason...seems like it was made up on the spur of the moment."

"Could it be that Qixing already knows that Prince Yan is not dead? But Zhongli clearly said that Qixing and the immortals don't know... wait!" Paimeng said puzzledly, then seemed to suddenly remember something, with a look of surprise on his face.

"No, if Su Xun knew, then the immortals must have known it too. Now it seems that Qixing also knows the truth, otherwise they wouldn't have issued such a notice. In other words, the immortals and Liyue's top leaders all knew about Yan Shen's fake death?"

At this point, Paimeng felt speechless. It seemed that only the people were kept in the dark?

"I think Zhongli told them secretly after completing the transaction of the Heart of God." Ying guessed.

"That makes sense!" Paimeng nodded repeatedly in agreement, and then looking at the lively crowd in the distance, she hurriedly urged: "By the way, the Immortal Sending Ceremony seems to have started for quite a while, let's go over and take a look, otherwise it will be over soon!"

Ying and Paimeng walked through the crowd and headed towards the central area where the ceremony of sending off the immortals was held.

They saw Ningguang, Keqing and Ganyu standing on the podium together, apparently reading a speech.

When they got closer, they found that Su Xun was also watching in a corner of the stage.

He was dressed in a plain brocade robe and looked very elegant, standing out in the crowd. So the two men squeezed through the crowd and walked up to him.

"Hi! Su Xun!" Paimeng patted Su Xun on the shoulder.

Su Xun turned around and saw Yingmei and Paimeng, so he smiled and replied: "You are here to watch the ceremony of sending off the immortals too?"

"Well, after all, this is a ceremony we spent so much time preparing for, so we have to come and see it," Ying said.

"That's true." Su Xun nodded.

Ying pursed her lips, looked at the stage, and asked casually, "Why isn't Shen He with you?"

"Oh, she doesn't like crowds, so she didn't come." Su Xun explained with a smile.

Ying nodded and was silent for a while. Then she was about to continue: "Well, are you free..."

"Su Xun! Ying!" The sudden voice interrupted Yingmei's thoughts. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Keqing on the stage waving at them, motioning them to come up.

Ying was slightly startled, then looked at Su Xun with a puzzled look.

"Let's go up and take a look." Su Xun smiled and walked towards the stage first.

"Hey, come on, let's go up too. I feel like something good is going to happen~" Paimon smiled and pushed Ying's shoulder and walked forward.

After the three of them came onto the stage and stood next to Ningguang and Keqing, the crowd below began to discuss.

"Are those two the powerful ones who repelled the ancient gods as rumored? And there is a flying pet next to that girl?"

“They are all so young…”

"Why do I feel that young man looks familiar?"

"Of course he looks familiar, isn't he that boy Su Xun?"

“No wonder, but I didn’t expect that Su Xun could actually defeat the ancient god. I really didn’t see that coming!”

"..."

Listening to the discussions in the crowd, Su Xun and Yingmei didn't care.

"This crisis was resolved thanks to you. The Liyue Seven Stars will repay a favor. And I'm sure you've heard that we have a global reach and can do anything."

"So - tell me the reward you want. That's what you should receive." Under the gaze of everyone, Keqing said to the two of them seriously.

Hearing this, Ying and Su Xun looked at each other, and then after Su Xun's eye signal, Ying spoke first.

"Then, post some missing persons notices for me."

Keqing frowned. Is it that simple?

"Ying, you can be bolder..." Su Xun next to her whispered to Ying.

Ying glanced at him, and a thought subconsciously came to her mind: Be bolder? Then can I ask you for it? Can you give me the Seven Stars?

But after she realized it, Ying's face flushed. Bah! She was so shameless. Fortunately, she didn't say it out loud.

Seeing Yingmei blushing suddenly, Su Xun was a little confused. What happened? Did I send something weird message just now?

"Are you sure?" Keqing continued to ask Yingmei.

Ying nodded. She didn't need anything urgently anyway.

"Su Xun, what about you?" Seeing this, Keqing had no choice but to look at Su Xun.

Su Xun thought about it and asked tentatively: "Can you build a large alchemy workshop for me?"

“Sure.” Without waiting for Keqing to reply, Ningguang, who had been silent all the time, spoke up and agreed.
