In the box of the tavern, Yun Mubai's wrist was forcibly clenched in the palm of Zhongli's palm, and he couldn't move a bit.

The scorching temperature spread from Yun Mubai's wrist, and the two looked at each other, their eyes entangled, and the atmosphere was stiff and mixed with a hint of charm.

Outside the box door, a woman with short blue hair stood with her chest crossed, "It seems that I came at the wrong time." ”

Saying this, she didn't leave, and even her gaze fell quietly on the two of them without any deviation.

In front of Yun Mubai, Zhongli's expression was calm, and on Yun Mubai's side, Yelan's expression was indifferent......

No one present was embarrassed, only ...... were embarrassed

"Zhongli! Let me go! ”

Yun Mubai struggled to break free from Zhongli's restraint, at this time his eyes were crimson, and he glared at Zhongli angrily, then straightened out the slightly messy robe on his body, and turned to face the woman outside the door.

"Hello, I'm Yun Mubai, is there anything the General Affairs Secretary is looking for me?"

"On the orders of Lord Tianquan, to protect Mr. Yun."

"I don't think I have anything to protect." Yun Mubai took a deep breath and crossed his chest in resistance, "I'm leaving Liyue now. ”

Yun Mubai didn't believe what kind of protection it was, this was surveillance.

"Something has happened to Immortal Rite, Mr. Yun, for your safety, it is recommended that you do not leave Liyue during this time." Yelan's voice was cold, and after entering the door, she pushed open a window facing the street, signaling Yun Mubai to look down.

Yun Mubai looked down, and there was a row of Millelith Army standing at the door of this restaurant, and across the street not far away, masked Fatui were probing their brains.

“……”

Yun Mubai took a deep breath, clearly realizing that he couldn't get out of Liyue at all.

In the past, he was able to jump between several forces because there was a tacit understanding between these big forces, and he would not put some contradictions on the surface, but now, at the moment when the Emperor of the Rock King died, this tacit understanding was just a piece of paper that could be broken at the first poke.

"And when can I leave?" Yun Mubai had all kinds of thoughts rolling in his mind, and then sighed, nodded and asked in resignation.

"Wait for this storm to stop." Yelan stood at the window, the wind ruffling up her snow-colored coat.

Outside the window, the wind blew across Liyue Harbor, and the uncontrollable cries of people could be faintly heard in the wind, like children who had lost the shade of their parents, and the haze covered the entire sky.

"In this case, it's better to eat a little together, fortunately, the weather is not cold, and the flavor of the dishes is not lost." Zhongli's voice sounded at the right time, attracting the attention of the two people in the room.

Yelan looked at Zhongli and frowned slightly. After receiving Ningguang's order, she immediately retrieved the news related to Yun Mubai and browsed them one by one, and naturally saw this Zhongli, who was very close to Yun Mubai.

This man is very mysterious, and although his origin and identity can be checked and very detailed, it always gives people a sense of disobedience. When Zhongli first appeared in Liyue Harbor, Ningguang investigated him, and Yelan was the executor at the time, and she had been with Zhongli for a while.

Yelan felt that she had seen a lot of people in the General Affairs Department over the years, and no matter how well she disguised herself on the surface, she would reveal flaws under her surveillance, but Zhongli was an exception.

"Everyone has what they want, but he doesn't, either the disguise is too good or he is already rich." Ningguang, who got Yelan's information, only sighed at that time, "That's it, since you don't have any idea about the location of the seven stars." If you don't have weaknesses, you can't use them for me, so don't worry about it. ”

Yelan clearly remembered Ningguang's expression at that time, which was regret mixed with a hint of admiration. Because the existence of a person like Zhongli is like a clear jade, the clear reflection is the despicable greed hidden in the hearts of ordinary people.

So now again...... Lustful, white walls stained?

Yelan's sharp blue eyes swept over the two people in the room, and noticed that Zhongli's gaze frequently swept over the "prophet" from Fontaine, and Yun Mubai from Fontaine often felt something, raised his eyes and looked back, the two seemed to be communicating something silently and tacitly, with a sense of intimacy.

"I have to write it down and tell Ningguang," Yelan raised her eyebrows, thinking to herself.

When the pot of delicious pickled duxian was eaten, thinking that Zhongli didn't know how many hours it would take to make this meal, Yun Mubai's original anger also disappeared a lot. In contrast, a clearer guess resurfaced in his mind.

When it comes to inviting immortals, Zhongli must know more than anyone else.

The others, including the sneaky and secretly scheming Fatui and the famous executive, including the high Tianquan Xing and the mysterious general affairs secretary Yelan in front of them, probably didn't know as well as Zhongli, who was leisurely sipping tea at this time.

As a citizen of Fontaine, who had been on the front line of finding trouble for his gods for many years, he was all too familiar with Zhongli's state, and it was a pleasure that was difficult to hide completely.

Hiss......

Yun Mubai, who realized what he was thinking, gasped, and his gaze at Zhongli was already stained with a hint of fear.

Zhongli, probably wouldn't he have killed his own god?

"Huh?" Sensing Yun Mubai's focused gaze, Zhongli tilted his head slightly, puzzled.

"No, it's nothing" Yun Mubai lowered his head in a panic and patted his chest to comfort himself.

No, Zhongli is a human, although he has always felt that gods are no big deal, just a stronger creature that controls a country by his own preferences, or powers, just like playing a game, but ...... The gods are powerful but humans can't match them.

Maybe Zhongli only knew about the fall of the emperor, so he did something in secret, but what exactly? If he knew that the Rock King Emperor would die at the Immortal Ceremony, then why did he ...... Must leave yourself?

Yun Mubai's thoughts were a little confused, but his gaze at Zhongli was faintly more thoughtful.

Facing Yun Mubai's straightforward gaze, Zhongli did not dodge or dodge, and looked back calmly.

"Ahem." In the end, it was Yelan who broke the silence of the room and said loudly, "You two, since we're done eating, let's leave...... The place where Mr. Yun lived during this time has been sorted out for you, and if necessary, we can also help you move your luggage from the inn. ”

"No need, I'll do it myself." Yun Mubai hurriedly waved his hand, not wanting Liyue's people to move their luggage.

The group of three walked out of the restaurant, and it wasn't until they reached the street that Yun Mubai realized the panic and helplessness brought to the people of Liyue by the fall of the Emperor, as if the originally bustling streets had come to a standstill, some were stunned, some were running in a panic, some were crying silently, and even the Millelith Army, who was tall with their guns in their hands, had many red eyes and a dazed expression.

Yun Mubai is a person who is easily affected by the emotions around him, and he also has some relatives in his heart when he sees such a scene, but the two people around him have a mediocre reaction, one bows his head and keeps recording something in the notebook, and the other walks leisurely, quite a kind of leisure with a clear breeze and bright moon.

When he arrived at the door of the inn where he lived, Yun Mubai saw an unexpected and unexpectedly man.

"Yo, you're back, I thought you had been captured by the Seven Stars...... Well, it looks pretty much the same now. Tartaglia completely ignored the angry glare of the other Millelith Army, and defiantly swept Yelan beside Yun Mubai, and then smiled at Yun Mubai, "If you need the diplomatic help of the Fatui, as your friend, I am duty-bound." ”

"Childe-sama, be cautious." Yelan coldly withdrew the notebook in her hand, "This is an internal problem of Liyue, and I don't think it has anything to do with the Solstice Kingdom, if you are not proficient in diplomatic rhetoric, I suggest you go back to your country and practice well." ”

"We're friends, aren't we." Tartaglia spread her hands with a grin, not caring at all about Yelan's words with guns and sticks, "Besides, I really don't know how a guest from Fontaine can be your internal problem in Liyue. ”

"Childe-sama." Not to be outdone, Yelan was blocked, "You injured a few of my Millelith soldiers and sent away a mysterious guest at Yujingtai, so the Fatui already know how to give Liyue an explanation." ”

Yun Mubai listened to the conversation between the two of you, and lowered his eyes silently.

This is the storm in Yelan's mouth......

Suddenly, he felt a warmth on his shoulder, and when he turned around in surprise, Zhongli patted him on the shoulder soothingly, and whispered, "Don't be afraid." ”
