"Go find my Mondstadt friend." Ying's gaze drifted toward the direction from which the music was coming.

"Okay, although I'd love to go with you, I still need to organize the photos I just took, so I'll head back to the hotel first. Bye-bye." Charlotte left.

After saying goodbye to Charlotte, Paimon said, "Let's go find some street performers."

"Hmph, this music, and the feeling of this wind, it must be busking!"

The two arrived at the place where the music was coming from, but there was nothing there.

"That's strange, but it feels like this is the place?" Paimon tilted his head, pretending to think.

Ying looked closely and found that a whirlwind formed by wind elements was blocking her view.

He reached out to touch it, and it passed right through him without any resistance.

As Ying entered the barrier, she saw Wendy playing the flute, and he even winked when he saw them come in.

The short, green figure turned and glanced at Ying, nodding slightly as a greeting.

Beside her, an elderly woman with a kind smile on her face seemed very happy watching the scene before her, humming a tune.

Next to the old man was a huge bird, taller than a person.

"Wow, what a huge bird!" Paimon exclaimed.

The bird glanced at Paimon and became the first to speak.

"Insolence! What kind of big bird is this?! I am the True Lord of Cloud Retention and Wind Borrowing."

"I thought it was someone who had broken in, but it turns out to be a traveler."

Liu Yun had never met Ying Mei, but the combination of a little golden-haired girl and a white-haired floating object was quite rare.

Liu Yun transformed back into human form. If the visitor was a traveler, there seemed to be no need to hide anymore.

Finally, Zhongli was left. The traveler had never met Zhongli, but according to Lin Qiu's description, she still recognized who Zhongli was.

Of this group, only Granny Ping, Xiao, and Zhongli seem reliable, but Granny Ping is too old, Xiao is too short, and only Zhongli matches the description in the book.

"Traveler, welcome to Liyue," Zhongli said with a smile.

Paimon: "I'm so glad your brother's alright!"

Ying: "Yes."

Paimon: "After you find your brother, are you leaving?"

Ying: "I think so, but I will walk the paths he has walked. That day will not come anytime soon."

Paimon: "But I'll miss you so much..."

Ying: "...Me too."

Chapter 96 Is this also part of the plan?

Everyone was having a great time chatting, except for True Lord Lishui Dieshan and True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang, who were facing a dilemma.

When they saw the Emperor's immortal body fall, they sensed something was wrong and immediately flew up into the sky to see what was going on.

But when they flew up into the sky, they found that there was not a single person in sight. The two immortals split up and searched for a while.

After searching, they discovered that not only did they not find anything suspicious, they had also lost the Great Sage Who Subdued Demons.

“Xiaoyue, let’s go back and discuss this with Qixing first,” Lishui said.

"That's exactly what I was thinking." Xiaoyue nodded.

The two immortals went directly to the Jade Pavilion and happened to see Lin Qiu and Ningguang walking out of the room.

Isn't that the person who stood with the Wind God back then? Who is this person?

Although the two of them could read prophetic books, they did not read news reports and did not know Qiu Cheng's true identity.

“My two immortals, this is the author of the prophecy book,” Ningguang introduced.

"Oh? You're actually that extraordinary person." Li Shui was quite surprised.

It moved closer to Lin Qiu, examining his neck from left to right, and finally clicked its tongue in amazement:

"That's strange. He's clearly just a mortal, yet he has some kind of immortal aura about him."

Liu Yun was still sulking with them, so naturally he didn't tell them about teaching Lin Qiu the Immortal Arts.

“That is indeed strange. Do you have any magical artifacts on your person?” Xiaoyue asked.

Lin Qiu shook his head; he didn't have any magical artifacts on him.

This celestial aura either came from his practice of immortal arts or from spending too much time with Shen He, which made him absorb the essence of the immortal.

"It seems you have a destiny to become an immortal. Would you like to cultivate immortality with me?" Xiaoyue continued.

Lin Qiu shook his head again. "I've already become your disciple, why should I follow your lead?"

Seeing that neither of the two immortals mentioned whether Lin Qiu had a special identity, Ningguang asked:

"Have you two immortals ever met that Guest Elder Zhongli?"

She had previously suspected the Emperor's identity, so she had discussed this possibility with the immortals, who must have already investigated.

Li Shui and Xiao Yue nodded, "We've seen Zhongli in the shadows."

"He has a dignified bearing and speaks eloquently; he is indeed a remarkable person of our time, but I doubt he is the emperor."

It's one thing that Zhongli didn't possess any imperial aura, but he even drank tea from a round teacup! Not a square one at all!

Zhongli had naturally discovered their secret observation long ago; his aura was so well concealed that even the two immortals couldn't detect it.

“However, your guess is correct; the Emperor should be fine,” the immortal continued.

They witnessed the Emperor's immortal body fall down on the spot.

However, this is too strange. That was an emperor, how could he die as naturally as when his lifespan came to an end?

Moreover, no remnants of the demon god appeared after the Emperor's death, so it seems the Emperor was alright.

That's why they immediately rushed up to the sky, wanting to see if the Emperor was there.

Unfortunately, they found nothing in the end and even lost the Great Sage Who Subdued Demons.

Ningguang nodded. It seemed that even the immortals couldn't tell who the Emperor was.

After listening to the immortal's analysis, Lin Qiu said, "What if Zhongli was deliberately pretending?"

The immortal shook his head, "It doesn't seem like it."

The Emperor is Morax, he created Morax, how could he go out without money?

Lin Qiu sighed, giving up on trying to persuade them. Anyway, they'd find out soon enough.

She thought to herself, 'Wendy, you said the old man wasn't good at acting, but he's completely fooled them.'

It's not that Zhongli isn't good at acting; it's just a matter of who he wants to fool.

"Where is the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons?" Ningguang asked.

Weren't there three of you together back then? How come there's one missing now?

"We don't know, we just suddenly couldn't sense his presence anymore," the immortal replied.

"But there's no need to worry, the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons will be fine."

Given Xiao's combat strength, it would be impossible for him to kill him silently in a place with so many people.

They probably went back to Wangshu Inn after finding the Emperor was alright.

At this moment, Xiao was drinking tea with the Emperor and Yingmei.

No, Xiao didn't sit down to drink tea; he was just accompanying someone.

"So, Mr. Zhongli is indeed a Liyue immortal?" Ying asked.

After all, apart from Venti, everyone present was a Liyue immortal, and Zhongli seemed to know them quite well.

“That’s right.” Zhongli nodded. The Immortal Ancestor was also an immortal, so there was nothing wrong with that.

Xiao pursed his lips and remained silent, while Wendy chuckled to herself.

“No wonder Zhongli lacks common sense.” Paimon said with an expression that said it all.

Although they hadn't met Zhongli before, Paimon already knew about her habit of not carrying money and her strange spending habits because of Lin Qiu's book.

"Please excuse my poor attempt to impress Paimon," Zhongli said with a smile.

"Pfft." Wendy chuckled to herself.

"Cough cough, I choked on my tea earlier, it's too strong."

Grandma Ping shook her head helplessly, "Even if you make up an excuse, don't use my tea."

“Traveler and Paimon, you already know the process of holding the Sending-Off Ceremony. Would you like to help me prepare?” Zhongli ignored Wendy.

“Okay, okay,” Paimon agreed immediately.

There was no other reason than that I could get a lot of money from the young master in the process.

Why refuse when you can shop to your heart's content without spending your own money? Plus, the money left over can become Paimon's personal stash.

Since Paimon agreed, Ying naturally wouldn't refuse.

Ying wondered how Lin Qiu and the others' conversation went, and whether she should tell Lin Qiu about it.

Being from another world, we felt a bit like 'meeting an old friend in a foreign land,' even though we weren't actually old acquaintances.

At this moment, Lin Qiu was walking into the room where Ke Qing and the others were, and the sounds of their voices reached his ears.

Everyone present was a girl, but Hu Tao was the most vocal, and Bei Dou was slightly less impressive than Hu Tao.

"I heard your voices in the hallway," Lin Qiu said.

I never thought I'd be able to say those lines my homeroom teacher used to say.

Lin Qiu still loves to steal other people's lines.

"Xiao Qiuqiu, you're here? Have you finished chatting?" Hu Tao quickly ran to Lin Qiu's side and asked.

As expected, she was the most lively. Everyone else had just turned their heads when Hu Tao arrived.

"What were you talking about? Can you tell me?" Hu Tao continued.

“I’m sorry, Master Hu, this is a secret between Mr. Lin Qiu and me,” Ningguang said with a smile.

After speaking, Ningguang walked up to Frynn and said, "Fundamental Water Goddess, I hope you have a good time in Liyue. Tianquan sends its greetings to you."

“Yes, and I sincerely hope you can find the murderer who killed the Rock God,” Furina replied.

Ningguang looked at Funingna strangely. The fact that the Emperor was not dead was something even an immortal could see at a glance, and she could also see it after analyzing it.

The water god couldn't possibly not see it, so what was the point of the other party saying that?

Could it be... that this is also part of the Emperor's plan?

That water god's acting skills are really good; even with my sharp eyes, I can't see a trace of acting.
