112. Reason
Paimon is Teyvat, a social horror expert.
I don't get tired of this for interpersonal interactions, otherwise I wouldn't have been given the title of "God's Mouth" by Shikanoin Heizou.
"Hi, there's Paimon! Can we be friends together? ”
Paimon couldn't wait to go up, and before they could meet, they had already come to Shenhe's side and greeted him cutely.
This kind of greeting method even Lin Chen felt embarrassed. Fortunately, the person who said this was Paimon.
Cuteness can save everything.
“……”
I saw Shenhe raise his eyes and look at Paimon coldly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Shenhe." ”
"Shenhe...... yes, can we walk together? ”
Paimon said cutely with his little hands behind his back.
"You...... Why? ”
Shenhe looked at Paimon in confusion.
"Hehe, because Shenhe is so good-looking, Paimon can't help but want to make friends with you."
"It's just a skin."
Shenhe shook his head.
"Hey, I said you two don't ignore me like this."
Lin Chen grabbed Paimon's puffy skirt and pulled her back onto his shoulder.
"Ahem, that ...... Hello, I'm Lin Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you, Shenhe. ”
Lin Chen stretched out his hand and said very cautiously and seriously.
Although he is not 100% of Shenhe's cook, he is also deeply sympathetic to Shenhe's plight.
Of course, her fairy spirit and appearance are also one of the reasons.
"You...... Good. ”
Shenhe obviously couldn't understand the handshake salute, and hesitated for a moment, prompted by Paimon's eyes.
Stretched out his slightly cold white and slender hand and shook it with Lin Chen's warm palm.
Shenhe's hands were indeed soft, but with a chill.
Lin Chen didn't have much nostalgia, and he was divided when he touched it.
Shenhe looked at the hand that was held just now, and was stunned.
"Goo-goo-goo-"
At this time, Shenhe's stomach suddenly screamed.
"Ah......h
Lin Chenxin said that if it is such a coincidence, the Shenhe that Yingmei met in the original plot was also met by himself when she was not full.
"It's ...... Shenhe, you haven't eaten enough, have you? ”
Paimon, who knew Shenhe, obviously knew this voice, and beckoned enthusiastically: "Shenhe, if you're hungry, we'll invite you to dinner, it just so happens that this place is not far from the Wangshu Inn." ”
Shenhe looked at Paimon, then at Lin Chen, shook his head and said, "I don't eat worldly food, I usually only eat pure hearts, glazed lilies and glazed bags." ”
Lin Chen knocked Paimon's head and said with a smile, "It's okay, Wangshu Inn should also have these three things, don't delay." ”
Shenhe hesitated and nodded.
Afterwards, Lin Chen and Paimon took Shenhe to the Wangshu Inn to rest.
On the way, Paimon gave full play to his social attributes, and kept stirring up topics when talking to Shenhe.
Basically, the bottom of Shenhe was cleaned.
Although Shenhe didn't say it, Paimon knew it.
When he arrived at the Wangshu Inn, Lin Chen asked the proprietress of Philgodette to arrange a table of relatively light meals, as well as the three medicinal herbs that Shenhe ate.
"By the way, Shenhe, since you are a disciple of the Peerless Cloud Immortal, how could you suddenly appear in Qiongjiye?"
Waiting for the food to be served, Lin Chen began to ask his doubts.
"Hmm...... Master told me about Liyue's fate and qi that he seemed to be a little uneasy recently, as if something important had happened in Liyue recently...... However, he made many calculations, but found no crisis. ”
"But he made it clear that there was something strange about this, but the Liyue Seven Stars based on the contract have not yet moved, so in order not to startle the snake, they asked me to come and investigate the truth of the matter alone."
"I see."
Lin Chen understood on the surface, but in fact, he was already thinking about it in his heart.
His appearance has changed many plots.
Due to his interference, Tartaglia has not received the news that the Immortal Ancestor Fa has been molten in the Golden House for a long time.
Therefore, until the last moment of sending the immortal ceremony, he will inevitably endure it all the time.
On Liyue's side, Ningguang has been keeping an eye on the Liyue Immortals' movements thanks to his reminder.
On the other hand, the Liyue Immortals are not like the original plot.
Yingmei was not coaxed by Tartaglia into finding the Liyue Immortals, so that news of the immortals who were far away from Liyue's mortal world was still closed, and she did not receive the bad news of the murder of the Rock King Emperor for the time being.
Due to the tacit understanding with Liyue's Seven Stars, he could not actively explore Liyue, but could only send his disciple Shenhe to secretly investigate.
Therefore, among the Fatui, Tartaglia did not dare to act rashly without the news of the Immortal Ancestor's Fa Transformation; Among the Liyue forces, the Seven Stars of Liyue are not yet in full control of Liyue, so they will not take the initiative to do anything.
This is especially true of the Liyue Immortals.
In this eerie balance.
The tripartite forces form a closed loop.
As a result, Liyue is currently in a calm but turbulent situation.
"So, since you're from Liyue, you should know something inside?"
Shenhe asked.
Lin Chen thought for a while and said, "I know something, but after I say it, don't get excited." ”
Anyway, Shenhe himself would have been able to find out about the murder of the Rock King when he went to Liyue himself.
So it's the same whether he says it or not.
It's better to say it in advance, so that Shenhe has time to react.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
Shenhe said calmly.
"That's right...... Wasn't there a ceremony to invite immortals some time ago, and to put it simply, it was on this ceremony that the Emperor of the Rock was defeated, and the Seven Stars of Liyue are now in full pursuit of the murderer. ”
"Huh?"
Shenhe's pupils shrank slightly.
Obviously, even if she is as indifferent as her, she is not very calm when she hears the news.
"The Emperor was killed?"
Shenhe took a light breath, "It seems that Master's feelings are not wrong, but I didn't expect this time the matter to be so serious." ”
The Rock Emperor is not only the spiritual pillar of the people of Liyue, but also of great significance to the immortals of Liyue.
Such a big brother who has led the Liyue Immortals across thousands of years. All of a sudden, he died inexplicably.
It's incredible.
"That's the case, but don't rush to tell your master about this, I won't be able to explain what happened for a while, and I'll talk to you about more details when Liyue arrives."
Lin Chen was afraid that Shenhe would hear the news, so he would contact his master Liuyun to borrow the wind Zhenjun.
When the conflict between the Immortals and the Seven Stars of Liyue broke out in advance, Tartaglia did not trigger the seal to release the Vortex Demon God Othello.
The Immortals and the Seven Stars of Liyue will draw their swords against each other, and will not be at odds with each other.
Isn't that the food stopping?
That's exactly what I mean...... I won't disbelieve your news, but I won't believe it completely, so I'll go back to Liyue to verify it. ”
"That's good."
Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
As he spoke, Phil Godett personally served the food.
When he was on the last plate of glazed lilies and Qingxin, he also wondered to Lin Chen: "I said Lin Chen, why do you suddenly want to eat this, are you feeling unwell recently?" ”
"This ...... Sort of. ”
Lin Chen smiled awkwardly, he could be regarded as carrying a pot for Shenhe.
