Yun Mubai, who was seriously making today's plans, suddenly heard familiar footsteps from Zhongli, and he subconsciously turned his head and beckoned, "Mr. Zhongli, are you going to Wangshu Inn to find immortals?" ”

But seeing Zhongli shaking his head, his golden eyes seemed to hide many emotions, and the dark tide was turbulent but there was no trace to be found, "I don't care about the affairs of immortals, I just hope to do these two ceremonies decently." ”

Yun Mubai was not surprised by Zhongli's refusal, but he was surprised that Zhongli did not hide his deliberate avoidance of the immortals. This made Yun Mubai, who originally had some speculation about Zhongli's identity, a little uncertain.

But......

Glancing at Shenhe on the side, Yun Mubai's eyes suddenly lit up, isn't this a ready-made candidate.

So after preparing the ingredients according to Paimon and the Traveler's requirements, Yun Mubai couldn't wait to ask after he and Zhongli parted.

"Shenhe, can I ask you something?"

Shenhe didn't answer, but looked at it intently.

"Have you ever seen the true monarch of Gechenlang City in your master's mouth?"

"I saw it when I was a kid." Shenhe nodded, then added, "But it's only one side. ”

"Do you think that immortal resembles Zhongli?"

"Not really." Shenhe's answer was very simple. If she could say a few more words, Yun Mubai would probably know that the true monarch of Gechenlang City was actually a fairy.

"Hey, so you also have any doubts about Mr. Zhongli's identity?" After opening his mouth, he quickly convinced himself, "Yes, after all, you have been together for a long time. ”

"What are you talking about?" Paimon scratched his head in confusion, "Is there anything strange about Zhongli?" ”

"In addition to not liking to bring money, he likes to let others pay the bills, there is always someone to help him pay the bills, and he is just an ordinary person who knows a lot of knowledge." Paimon folded his hands and counted them, then tilted his head, "Paimon is so hopeful to meet a ...... who can always pay Paimon"

"Ahem." Empty cleared his throat.

"Well, it would be great to be able to help pay the traveler's bills together." Paimon leaned softly over to Sora and rubbed sweetly against Sora.

"It's okay." Yun Mubai shook his head in disapproval as he remembered his journey with Zhongli in Liyue, although most of the time it was indeed Mora himself, "What Zhongli knows may be invaluable to some people. ”

"It's not uncommon for knowledge to be paid, and Zhongli takes it for granted, naturally because they have other plans."

Although Yun Mubai didn't say it explicitly, he knew the identity of "them" in his mouth.

They tacitly exchanged glances with each other, and then Yun Mubai suddenly heard Shen He's loud voice, and then the gun shot out like a dragon, and the whole person was like a sharp arrow, suddenly rushing out.

"Ah, it's a hilichurl!" Paimon flew high, looked at the familiar enemy in the distance, and urged repeatedly, "Sora, go and help." ”

Then, Kazuya drew his sword and ran over at a faster pace. However, although the speed of the void is considered fast, it is still much slower than the speed of Shenhe's hands.

Yun Mubai stood on a hillside in the distance, and Shenhe, who was holding a spear in front of him, had already dealt with all the hilichurls and breathed a sigh of relief.

This was just the beginning, as we moved away from Liyue Harbor, there were always countless hilichurls, slimes, and treasure hoarders along the road, and each time Shenhe would detect it in advance and strike decisively and mercilessly.

After one or two times, Sora quickly caught up with Shenhe's footsteps, and used his elemental power to control the enemy's position with Shenhe's movements.

And Yun Mubai also changed from stunned to expressionless, and then completely turned into an ordinary Paimon placement rack, struggling to follow behind the two.

Therefore, why do some people not take the official road, but prefer to drill deep in the mountains and old forests, where there are many enemies?

Yun Mubai, who had been killing all the way to the Wangshu Inn, finally couldn't help but raise his own questions.

"Eradicate all evil." Shen He calmly wiped his weapon, and then said no more, Yun Mubai actually sensed a cold murderous aura from her inexplicably.

What a terrifying momentum.

Retracting his gaze, Yun Mubai looked at the sky, the temperament of the empty body was the opposite of Shenhe's gentleness, but thinking about it, he didn't have a trace of softness before he started, and even remembered to collect the loot......

So, who am I traveling with?

I don't know who these two people are, it's a little more terrifying.

"Alright, alright, here we are." Paimon rubbed his stomach and looked up at the top floor of the Wangshu Inn, "Let's go, let's go up." ”

Several people rushed to the top roof of the Wangshu Inn in one go, and Yun Mubai noticed that the owner of the inn was slightly stunned after seeing him, and seemed to recognize himself, and lowered his head to record something.

…… Okay, no surprises.

And, the Great Demon Sage was indeed at the inn.

"You're here."

As soon as he stepped on the rooftop, Yun Mubai heard a voice coming from overhead, he subconsciously turned his head, and looked at the top floor of the Shu Inn.

At this time, there was no night to hide, and the immortal did not put on his mask, and his slightly immature face fell into Yun Mubai's eyes, and his eyes widened in slight surprise.

"You...... It looks so young. Yun Mubai originally wanted to say that he was young, but the other party was not an ordinary teenager.

"Disrespectful to the Immortal Master." In just the blink of an eye, Xiao appeared on the platform in front of several people, he glanced around at everyone, and his tone was cold, "What are you looking for me?" ”

"Immortal, we invite you to dinner." Paimon tugged at the empty braid, "Sora made it with his own hands!" ”

"yes, we're going to eat with you." Yun Mubai nodded, and turned around to meet Paimon and Sora's surprised eyes.

Kong was slightly stunned, then turned to look at Shenhe and spoke tentatively, "Do you Liyue have a custom that you can't share a table with the immortals?" ”

“…… Ignorance. Shenhe shook his head honestly.

Yun Mubai then turned his curious gaze back to Xiao and blinked.

"Alas......" I only heard the young immortal sigh softly, and said helplessly, "There is a difference between immortals, you shouldn't get too close to me." ”

"But don't all the important things in Liyue say at the dinner table?" Yun Mubai waved his hand and comforted him repeatedly.

"That's it," Xiao glanced at Yun Mubai, and his tone was cold, "Only this once." ”

So, after some time, the meal was served and everyone sat down.

After everyone moved their chopsticks to pad their stomachs, Sora took the lead in speaking, "Xiao, can I ask you a question?" ”

"I knew you were here to inquire about something, so let's talk about it."

"You've been cleaning up the remnants of the Demon God, the remnants of the Demon God's power after death, but really?" Sora asked tactfully.

Xiao stopped his chopsticks, seemed to realize something, and looked at the sky seriously, "How did you learn about this?" ”

"So the immortals withheld the news." Yun Mubai didn't mean to confess Zhongli's news, he stared at the young immortal with a look on his face, frowned slightly, and felt Xiao's slightly strange mood.

"We have no obligation to inform." Xiao's answer was very cold and impersonal.

At this moment, Yun Mubai suddenly saw that the immortal's body was shrouded in a red-black mist with an ominous aura.

"That'...... What is it? Yun Mubai muttered.

"What?" Sora asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

"He ...... No, nothing. Yun Mu Bai came back to his senses violently, and at this time, the strange mist on Xiao's body could no longer be seen, and the other party's weak mood fluctuations had also converged.

"So, the Emperor of the Rock King must not have died in Liyue Harbor." Yun Mubai suddenly spoke.

Turning back in surprise, Paimon's mouth widened, and even Shenhe looked at Yun Mubai fixedly.

"Click." The sound of chopsticks being pinched rang out in the room.

Yun Mubai looked at Xiao who had broken his chopsticks, and clearly saw his flustered golden pupils.

"Demon Slayer, you really know." Yun Mubai looked at the young immortal who put down his chopsticks and was about to leave, and sighed softly.

"You know what, I don't have anything to say......" Xiao stopped and looked down at the edge of the table, obviously refusing to communicate.

Liyue's immortals seem to be a little too simple. Whether it is the Great Sage of Demon Suppression in front of him, or the disciple of that immortal.

They seem to think that as long as they don't speak, they won't cause the leak of intelligence, and they don't seem to tell a lie. As everyone knows, silence will also reveal a lot of information.

Yun Mubai's gaze looked through the half-hidden window behind Xiao to the mountains of Liyue in the distance, perhaps because their great strength did not need the assistance of external forces, or perhaps someone had been escorting them......

Thinking of the dragon whose authority was a contract, Yun Mubai sighed regretfully.

"The Rock King Emperor died, the place of death was Liyue Harbor, the time was not on the Immortal Ceremony, but the Emperor's body happened to be there."

"Ancestral Dharma Transformation." Xiao's lips moved, and he retorted.

“…… I'm sorry. Yun Mubai nodded apologetically, and then concluded.

"After killing the Emperor of the Rocks, that man deliberately chose to leave the Emperor's ancestor Fa Molten at the Immortal Ceremony, causing chaos in Liyue Harbor today. Yun Mubai gritted his teeth as he remembered why he could only move within Liyue's range.

"Yes, yes." Xiao replied in a daze, and the body that had already sat down stood up at a loss after hearing Yun Mubai's words, and the whole person was restless and very dazed.

"However, if Liyue's rock god hadn't died in Liyue, it would be inconvenient to lock down the murderer." Sora shook his head regretfully, "There's no clue." ”

"If you can't find a clue, why not work backwards from the results? It's better to analyze who will benefit the most from this. Yun Mubai made a suggestion, and both Kankong and Shenhe subconsciously nodded in approval, but suddenly changed their words and looked at Xiao, "Demon Slaying Great Sage, speaking of which, when was the last time you saw the Rock King Emperor?" ”

On the day of the Immortal Ceremony, please see you and the emperor leaving from Yujingtai......

Xiao opened his mouth and didn't speak for a long time.
