Original God Zhongli BG Xiao Qinglong traveled through time

Chapter 272: Cloud Returns

In Aozang Mountain, in front of the cave of Master Liuyun, fairy clouds lingered, and the atmosphere was quiet and solemn. The mountains in the distance appeared and disappeared under the cover of clouds, as if they were silent and loyal guardians, silently witnessing everything that was about to happen.

The immortals had been waiting eagerly for a long time. Their figures in this ethereal environment were like ancient and solemn paintings. True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang stood tall and straight like a pine tree, with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep and far away, as if he could penetrate the fog of the long years. True Lord Li Shui Die Shan sat at the table calmly with a calm demeanor. However, his slender fingers, which were always calm and composed on weekdays, kept tapping on the table in a slightly anxious manner. Apart from that, he was no different from usual. True Lord Liu Yun still looked like an immortal bird, flapping his wings vigorously from time to time. His anxious mood was like a beating flame, making the air around him seem to become hot and scorching. And Xiao, like a cold sculpture, stood quietly by the side, leaning against the tree, with a mysterious and powerful aura spreading silently.

Lin Huan appeared in front of everyone and walked forward quickly, breathing slightly, but her expression was extremely solemn. Her hair fluttered gently in the breeze, like a lively elf dancing.

"Dear seniors, Xiao, I'm back." Lin Huan bowed and saluted, his voice clear and firm, echoing in the quiet mountains.

True Lord Liuyun couldn't wait to ask: "Ahuan, quickly tell me, what is the current situation in Liyue Harbor?" Her eyes were full of anxiety, and her wings flapped slightly, bringing up an anxious breeze.

Lin Huan took a deep breath and said slowly: "Seniors, I have heard several important things in Liyue Harbor. The emperor was assassinated and the people were in panic. After investigations by various parties, they learned that the Seven Stars hid the emperor's immortal body and did not allow the people to see it, so the atmosphere in the city was very different from usual. Secondly, the Wangsheng Hall is actively preparing the items needed for the immortal ceremony. This may be a rare opportunity to calm the people's panic. I hope that all the seniors will stay calm for the time being, suppress their emotions, and patiently wait for the progress of the matter."

After pondering for a long time, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng could not help but speak first: "But Ah Huan, the actions of the Seven Stars really make people question whether they are inaction. The Emperor was killed in such an important ceremony as the Seven Stars Invitation to the Immortals. As his subjects, we have made a promise to protect Liyue. Now that something has happened, we should immediately go down the mountain to assume our responsibilities. Why are we waiting here for nothing?"

True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang also frowned slightly and asked softly, "Yes, Ah Huan, what Liuyun said is not without reason. It's not that we don't trust you, but because we have been waiting on the mountain for a long time. If we continue like this, the situation may become more complicated and unpredictable. How should we deal with it? Can the Seven Stars of Humanity really turn the tide in such a complicated situation? I really don't believe it. What you said about suppressing your emotions really won't make the situation worse?"

Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun nodded slightly, his expression very solemn: "Yes, we immortals are supposed to protect Liyue. Now that the situation has not been settled, how can we have the patience to wait for a long time? This matter needs a clear explanation."

Xiao was standing aside, and although he was silent, he looked at her with disapproval, as if he was eagerly waiting for her answer.

Hearing this, Lin Huan's expression remained calm and composed. He glanced at the immortals one by one, and his tone was calm, neither humble nor arrogant, and his voice was powerful.

"My dear seniors, Ah Huan knows that the elders are deeply concerned about Liyue and want to protect her. But please listen to what I have to say. We must not act rashly at this moment. The emperor was assassinated and the people are already in a state of panic. If all the immortals come together at this time, although it can show our intention to protect them, it is very likely to cause greater panic and chaos. It is urgent for the Wangsheng Hall to prepare the items needed for the ceremony of sending off the immortals. The ceremony of sending off the immortals is not just a ceremony, but also a respect and farewell to the emperor. It can give the people a place to rest their hearts in their grief. We will gradually calm down. When the preparations for the Immortal Ceremony are completed and the situation is a little more stable, we will go to the Seven Stars to ask for clarification. The Seven Stars have been governing Liyue for many years, and they must have comprehensive considerations and countermeasures. We might as well be more patient and believe that they will be able to make the right decision in this difficult time, and work together to stabilize Liyue. Moreover, if we act impulsively at this moment and cause an uncontrollable situation, how can we be worthy of the Emperor's years of dedicated protection of Liyue? "

"Besides, all parties are involved in the preparation of this ceremony. We might as well wait and see what happens next from the sidelines, and see what the Hall of Rebirth, the Fatui, and the Seven Stars will do next. Only when we see it more clearly can we win with one move." Lin Huan suggested. Her eyes were full of confidence and determination, shining brightly.

True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang nodded slightly: "Ahuan is right. We should not act rashly, so as not to disrupt the Emperor's plans." His voice was steady and majestic, convincing.

Zhenjun Lishui Dieshan said: "Let's leave it at that for now. Ah Huan...thank you for your hard work, you still have to keep an eye on the situation in Liyue Harbor, and come back to inform us in time if there is any news." His eyes were full of expectation and trust.

Xiao remained silent, but his originally disapproving gaze gradually calmed down. He tilted his head slightly, as if thinking deeply about something. After a moment, he nodded slightly, agreeing with Lin Huan's statement.

Lin Huan looked at the immortals, and a deep feeling of throbbing surged in her heart. She knew that although the immortals were dissatisfied with the Seven Stars' actions, at the critical moment, they would still prioritize protecting Liyue. It was this point that made her feel that the elders in front of her were extremely cute and respectable... including Xiao.

Lin Huan nodded solemnly, and then bowed deeply. At this time, the True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng, who had transformed into a human form, reached out his hand, firmly supported her elbow, and gently propped her up.

"Little girl, there is no need to be so polite in front of us. Ah Huan, you must be careful and cautious in the city, and remember to go early and come back early." True Lord Liuyun said with concern, his tone full of pity.

"Elders, please rest assured. Ah Huan understands." Lin Huan nodded slightly, her tone calm and powerful, revealing her determination. Then, she turned around resolutely, and her figure gradually disappeared in the clouds, leaving only her resolute back that was unforgettable.
