Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

The True Lord of Moon-Cut Sun clicked his tongue, imbued Ying with immortal power, and gave the order.

"They are disturbing the peace. Send them away, but do not kill any living beings."

With the blessing of the sage's power, Ying's strength was significantly enhanced. This was also thanks to the fact that Ying was already very strong before she lost her power; otherwise, an ordinary person would likely not have been able to withstand the blessing of a sage's power for long and would have collapsed from exhaustion.

After quickly defeating dozens of pursuing Thousand Rock Army soldiers, Ying asked the True Lord of Moon-Cut Sun.

"Traveler, state your purpose..."

Because Ying couldn't speak that many words at once, Paimon automatically acted as a talking machine, explaining the ins and outs of the matter.

After hearing Paimeng's explanation, True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang roared in fury, "Outrageous...outrageous!!!"

The second time he said it was absurd; his voice was so loud that the earth trembled and the air seemed to boil.

Is this the power of immortals? A casual roar can cause such a huge commotion.

The True Lord of Shaving the Moon and Building the Sun angrily began to accuse him.

"The Seven Stars of Liyue are truly disappointing. How could anyone assassinate the Emperor during the Summoning Ceremony? And after the Emperor's assassination... how can the suspicion be shifted to the mortals who attended the ceremony?!"

The True Lord of Moon-Shaving and Sun-Building sighed and calmed down.

“Traveler, I am aware of your wrongful accusation as an assassin. I have already made my judgment on this matter. However, my judgment may be flawed, and I need to inform the immortals.”

Perhaps because he was too lazy to travel and notify everyone individually, True Lord Yaoyue Zhuyang sent Ying to deliver messages to the other immortals on his behalf.

Ying nodded, then asked, "Who should I look for, and where should I look?"

"The True Lord of Water Management and Mountain Creation, and the True Lord of Cloud Retention and Wind Borrowing, these two are often here, but you may not have the chance to meet them... Just let fate decide. There is also a Great Sage Who Subdues Demons and a Dharma Protector Yaksha. Go to Wangshu Inn, and you may find traces of them."

After giving his instructions on managing the water and stacking the mountains, he disappeared on the spot.

Paimon began to speak anxiously.

"The Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, is that the immortal that Huiyuan mentioned? Speaking of which, I wonder where Huiyuan is. It would be great if we could meet him... Never mind, let's not worry about that. Even without Huiyuan, we can clear our names!"

Ying and Paimon turned and left, deciding to first visit the nearby immortals, and then go to Wangshu Inn to find the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons.

On the terrace of Wangshu Inn, Xiao Bao sat facing Hui Yuan, just like before, eating almond tofu.

Huiyuan spoke in the calmest tone, yet said something that made it impossible for anyone to remain calm.

"Xiao, I'm here to tell you something."

Xiao looked at Huiyuan, who exuded an ethereal aura beneath Lingling's skin, and asked questions as he ate.

"whats the matter?"

"The Emperor has been assassinated."

The almond tofu that Xiao had just picked up fell to the ground. Xiao was stunned for several seconds, unsure if he had heard clearly, and asked again.

"What did you say?"

The answer remained the same five words: "The Emperor has been assassinated."

After explaining what had happened, Xiao calmed down.

To prevent the Emperor's plan from failing, Huiyuan only explained the current situation. That is, Qixing misunderstood Ying and pinned the blame for assassinating the Emperor on her.

If the Emperor's plan were revealed directly, the test he presented would be much less difficult. This led the Emperor to remain uneasy and ultimately choose to abandon his retirement plans.

The challenges, besides facing the vortex demon god Oser, also include maintaining order and resolving internal and external troubles under pressure from a group of immortals and the Fools.

Xiao looked at Huiyuan and seemed to take Lingling's immortal aura as Huiyuan's stance, believing that Huiyuan was on the side of the immortals.

Xiao, who regarded Huiyuan as one of the immortals, started to discuss it.

"What role do you think the seven stars that govern the human world played in this matter?"

"I don't think they will rebel against the Emperor. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to discuss it with the other immortals."

Xiao preferred calling Huiyuan by her real name rather than the skin's name, and he naturally invited, "Huiyuan, do you want to come along?"

This naturally refers to whether or not to go with Xiao to discuss this matter with the other immortals.

“Go ahead. But we’ll have to wait a few days, until that blond traveler has informed the other immortals, before we discuss this matter.”

Xiao didn't question Huiyuan's decision and silently nodded. As she got up to leave, Huiyuan called out to Xiao.

"By the way, besides my name and the title of general, you can also call me 'Rao Lu'an Tianzhenjun'."

After Huiyuan finished speaking, Xiao fled.

A few days later, Ying arrived at Wangshu Inn.

Huiyuan removed his skin and sat on the table in his original form, drinking tea and reading a newspaper, clearly having lived to be a 70-year-old man.

Paimon waved and said, "Hey... isn't that Huiyuan? Huiyuan—! Look here—!"

Turning to look at Ying and Paimon, Huiyuan said, "Oh, little Paimon and little Ying, you've come to turn yourselves in?"

Paimon's eyes widened, and he took a step back.

"Eh?!"

"Hehe, just kidding. I know you're innocent, you're here to see the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, right? I've already told him everything. But... if you want to see him, it's not impossible."

She put down the newspaper, and in the blink of an eye, Ying and Paimon transformed into Lingling's appearance.

A voice, like that of a cute little girl next door, came out.

"Go prepare some almond tofu. You can see him on the terrace. Oh, and go find the chef to make almond tofu. Just say that it's what Boss Philgoldette ordered."

Sending Ying to see Xiao had a specific purpose. Xiao wanted to see Ying to verify the accuracy of the intelligence and prove that Ying's current strength was insufficient to assassinate the Emperor.

Yan Xiao, the head chef of Wangshu Inn, has a very fierce tone of voice, giving people a feeling of being afraid to approach him. But after becoming friends with him, you will find that he can actually speak nicely and is very polite.

When Ying and Paimon found him, they were taken aback by his tone of voice. But according to Huiyuan, Yanxiao's attitude changed completely after mentioning Boss Philgold.

"Uh... I see. If it's something the boss has decided to do, then there's nothing I can do. But unfortunately, I'm currently unable to make such a delicate dessert as almond tofu."

Paimon put his hands behind his back, hooking his little fingers together in a gesture of doubt.

"why?"

"A swordsman's hands must be steady, and so should ours as cooks. But right now, my hands... I'm sorry... are a little unsteady..."

Yan Xiao's voice gradually became softer.

"The reason...is because some guests are saying that this inn...is haunted..."
