Ningguang waved her hand and uttered her famous line: "The Emperor has been murdered! Seal off the entire area!"

Mu Qingge's pupils trembled, and her hands shook.

"Emperor, Your Majesty?!"

It was unimaginable; Mu Qingge had never thought such a scene would occur!

This is a genuine feeling.

Since these vests appeared on the continent of Teyvat, they have been following their predetermined destiny.

You could say they're acting, but they'll keep acting until they die!

Because, if you want to deceive the gods, this is the only way.

If you can't embody genuine emotions, you can't be considered a good actor. Even if you know it's fake, at least so far, this persona doesn't know.

Since they didn't know, this is the kind of reaction they should have according to their character.

Chapter 21 My Foolish Onii-chan!

Studio.

The sudden appearance of such a large scene almost scared Guozi to death.

Can you imagine a giant dragon suddenly falling from the sky and crashing down on you?

And damn it, that was Ningguang's vision just now!

Seeing the giant dragon, which was as tall as five or six people stacked together even when it was lying down, some viewers with megalophobia really felt a pang of fear.

【? ? ? 】

Holy crap, is that a dragon?!

[Holy crap, what happened? This is the Rock King Emperor?! How could this happen so suddenly?!]

[A divine dragon? It certainly fits the image of a god of Liyue, but isn't it a bit too fast to send it away so soon after its appearance?]

[Ahem, compared to a drunkard, this dragon is more like a god!]

Holy crap, that scared me!

Guozi didn't have time to be shocked because she had already started running away, though she didn't know why.

……

On this side of Yujingtai.

The Qianyan Army led by Mu Qingge was far more powerful than the original Qianyan Army, and directly guarded all the key passes.

Just as Ying and Paimon were preparing to escape, the Thousand Rock Army discovered their little trick.

"Hey, you over there, stop right there!"

Ying wouldn't listen, and charged forward with boundless determination.

Even though these Thousand Rock soldiers were well-trained, they were no match for the famous Traveler and were quickly knocked unconscious by him.

More Thousand Rock Army soldiers rushed towards this side.

Ying gritted her teeth, preparing for battle!

Just then, a pleasant male voice came from behind Ying.

"Miss, be careful not to move."

Tartaglia knocked the weapons from the hands of the Thousand Rock Army with several water-based arrows, then conjured two broken blades and easily subdued the surrounding Thousand Rock Army.

"Hurry, let's get out of here first, it'll be troublesome if that guy catches up."

After saying this, D'Artagnan jumped down the low wall first, and Ying and Paimon immediately followed.

"Hey, who is it?"

Paimon flew faster than D'Artagnan, with Luminous chasing after him.

She didn't want to be arrested and locked up in jail.

Before she knew whether this so-called Geo God was related to the one who separated her from her brother, Ying felt it was better to be on the safe side.

The three ran to a secluded spot, where Paimon stood with his hands on his hips:

"Whew... I'm so tired from running!"

"I'm the one who's more tired from running. Which muscle does magic flight use?"

Paimon was very unhappy with what Ying said:

"Lack of empathy, my phantom limb is clearly exhausted from flying—oh, by the way, who are you, buddy?"

You can call me "Young Master".

D'Artagnan's words thoroughly angered Paimon Jr.

"Wow, what a terrible personality! They saved us once and now they treat us like servants?"

"Haha. I didn't mean that. A name is just a label. It's like..."

"You must have met the lady in Mondstadt, right?"

Such an obvious hint immediately put Paimon and Ying on alert.

"[Lady]...[Young Master]..."

"Are you the executor of the Fools?"

Ying's small face was cold; she still clearly remembered everything the lady had done in Mondstadt:

Beat up Wendy, freeze Paimon and Nora, steal the Heart of God, knock her unconscious...

She categorized all the members of the Fool Clan as villains, so naturally she wouldn't give them a friendly look when she saw another executor of the Fool Clan, "Prince".

Even if the other party had saved her and Paimon before.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to fight you."

"[Madam] left you with a very bad impression, didn't she? Sigh, that woman... I don't like her either."

"Alright, let's forget about what that woman did for now! I'm here to help you fight."

"Help?" Ying was still wary.

"Yes, I'm not a bad person, uh... I guess I am a bad person, but I'm not here to cause you trouble."

"Could you please not think about defeating this person right now?"

Ying put away her stance. Although she still harbored doubts about D'Artagnan, she couldn't confront him directly since he had said so.

"Thank you for your understanding, Knight."

……

The order at Yujingtai has been largely restored, and the crowd of spectators has been asked to leave.

The departing crowd continued to discuss the Emperor's fall, with some even radically attempting to approach the Immortal Ancestor's physical form. Of course, these people were all blocked by the Thousand Rock Army.

Keqing also arrived at the scene, staring blankly at the dragon's body.

"How...is this possible?!"

After the initial panic, Mu Qingge took a deep look at the dragon's body and then left the place.

Seeing Mu Qingge's expression, Ningguang knew the extent of Mu Qingge's fervor for the Emperor and was somewhat worried, so she couldn't help but remind her:

"Qingge, don't do anything foolish, don't act impulsively!"

Mu Qingge nodded slightly, then quickly left.

……

"It's not convenient to discuss the specifics here. Liyue always says something like 'walls have ears,' so let's go to the Northern Bank first."

Tadalia and Ying explained their position, and the three of them prepared to head to the Northern Bank first.

Just then, a dull thud of metal striking the ground rang out, and the three looked toward the source of the sound.

Mu Qingge's expression was somewhat cold. She held Guan Hong in her hand, which was the one she had just used to strike the ground.

"Sorry, none of you can leave!"

D'Artagnan looked surprised, as if he hadn't expected Mu Qingge to be there. He stepped forward first and said before Ying and the others could speak:

"Um, Lord Mu, is there some misunderstanding between us?"

Mu Qingge's eyes sharpened: "Misunderstanding?! How do you explain injuring the Qianyan Army? And why did they flee at that particular time?"

"I didn't want to be your enemy, but now I have no choice but to give you an explanation, otherwise, I won't hold back this time!"

D'Artagnan was having a bit of a headache. Once you've messed with this guy, getting out of there won't be so easy.

"Lord Mu, you were also present at the ceremony of summoning immortals, and I believe you saw it too. They have nothing to do with the Emperor's matter. The Rock King Emperor is known as the God of War; how could we possibly be the ones to try and frame him?!"

Mu Qingge remained silent, simply gazing at Dadalia.

When D'Artagnan saw the look in her eyes, he knew that there was no point in saying anything more. He had to fight. He didn't want to be captured. The plan had only just begun.

However, this place...

The live stream chat was flooded with comments.

A fight is about to break out!

Wow, they're going to fight on their first official meeting?!

She probably can't beat us and [Young Master], right?

【Fight, fight! 】

……

"Hey, you're Mu Qingge, right? We're not bad people. We just arrived from Mondstadt today, and we have a letter that Nora asked us to give you!"

Seeing that something was wrong, Paimon quickly flew forward to identify himself.

"Nora?"

Sure enough, upon hearing Ruola's name, Mu Qingge suppressed her imposing manner.

This relieved D'Artagnan; if a real fight broke out and the Traveler didn't help, he would likely have been captured and taken back.

Having sparred with Mu Qingge for so long, Dadalia knew how powerful she was. If Mu Qingge was determined to capture him, he really wouldn't be able to escape even if he wanted to.

Ying handed the letter she was carrying to Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge opened the letter and read it carefully on the spot.

Actually, she just glanced at it casually, since she wrote it herself and knew the content very well.

But the play still has to be performed.

After reading Ruola's letter, Mu Qingge's expression softened.

"I'm sorry, but since you ran away first, it's inevitable that people will suspect something."

Ying touched her head.

It seems that she and Paimon's behavior was indeed too strange.

"Haha, the misunderstanding is cleared up now, isn't it?" D'Artagnan said with a smile.

"This is just between me and Ying and the others. Tartaglia, I haven't settled accounts with you yet for attacking the Thousand Rock Army!"

D'Artagnan: "Isn't this helping them out of a tight spot?"

Mu Qingge ignored Dadalia; that guy had been lying all this time.

She'll have another battle with this guy later, and she'll also take out her Winter Vest to air it out.

As the captain's adjutant, Angie had nothing to do since the captain hadn't gone to Nata yet.

I recently took a trip to the snowy mountains of Mondstadt, and afterwards returned to Winterhold with my friend. We're currently on our way to Liyue.

Since she is Tartaglia's younger sister, isn't it normal for her to come to Liyue when her brother is there?

It's just that D'Artagnan is going to suffer a bit, since he's going to get a beating.
