Ying and Paimong continued to go shopping happily.

At the same time, Zhongli, who was still in the pavilion on the mountain, slowly withdrew his gaze from Liyue Harbor and drank the tea in his hand. When he put down the teacup, a hint of intriguing arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He also heard the conversation between Ying and Paimong just now, but he was not surprised or angry.

After all, even Paimong could think of such a thing, how could he, the God of Rock who has lived for thousands of years, not notice it.

As early as when talking to Ying, Zhongli had already discovered that Ying was playing word games with him.

The reason why he did not expose it on the spot, or even pretended not to find it, and reached a contract with Ying just like that.

The main reason was that concealing information from the Dimension City was not his purpose, but just a means to achieve his goal.

As long as it can be ensured that the Dimension City will not interfere in the upcoming turmoil in Liyue, then whether Ying abides by the agreement with him "120" is not so important.

Or put it another way.

The content of the contract itself does not matter to Zhongli. The most important thing is that Ying and he have reached a contract.

What he wants is Ying's position, to stand on his side in the upcoming events in Liyue.

Now that the contract is signed, Ying has agreed to stand on his side.

In the upcoming turmoil in Liyue, Ying will not mess around, so as not to disrupt his deployment.

At the same time, he must also help him keep a close eye on the Dimension City and prevent the Dimension City from interfering.

Otherwise, he can't explain to him why the Dimension City got the information.

What?

You said she can put all the blame on Paimon and say that the leak has nothing to do with her?

Not to mention that the contract stipulates that Ying needs to help keep the secret, not stopping Paimeng, the insider, from leaking the secret can also be regarded as Ying's dereliction of duty and breach of contract.

Even if Ying succeeds in quibbling, what can we do if we cannot determine that she has breached the contract?

If Zhongli is really angry, he doesn't need any evidence to retaliate against Ying.

This is just an excuse, and he can just make one up at that time.

So, as long as Ying is not stupid, it is impossible for her to really let the Dimension City invade.

Because she doesn't dare to really offend Zhongli to death.

And this is what Zhongli really wants.

It can make Ying honest and help him guard against the Dimension City, killing two birds with one stone.

As for Ying's act of leaking the secret and telling the Dimension City the information, it is a double-edged act.

Zhongli doesn't care too much.

Ying may make a lot of money, but he will definitely not lose money.

Even afterwards, he could continue to use this matter to make Ying pay compensation on the grounds of breach of contract, and let Ying do another thing for him.

In this way, he spent one money to do three things.

This is not only not a loss, but it is even more profitable than Ying!

I can only say that in terms of calculation, Ying's littleSmart is still too young in front of an old monster like Zhongli.

Let’s talk about Ying again.

After deciding that she could travel in Liyue at her own expense, she took Paimeng to find a hotel and stayed there.

In the deserted hotel room, Ying opened the dimensional door and asked Paimeng to go to the dimensional city to inform Su Mo.

She herself lay on the bed in the hotel and took out the dimensional terminal to kill time.

When she was chatting happily with several water group dragon kings in the dimensional group, Misaka Mikoto, Huihui, and Hermione, Su Mo suddenly came online and tagged her.

[Su Mo: Traveler Ying, if you are free now, come over as soon as possible about what Paimeng said. 】

Without waiting for Ying to ask anything, Su Mo went offline again at the speed of light.

Ying didn't dare to neglect seeing this, thinking that Su Mo might have something important to ask her, so she quickly opened the dimensional door and went to the dimensional city.

She thought a lot on the way.

She wondered if Su Mo wanted to attack Teyvat after learning the news, just as Zhongli had predicted.

Or maybe he was targeting Liyue and wanted to take advantage of Liyue.

She also thought that Su Mo might be dissatisfied with her promise to help Zhongli, and she should deal with the above in this way.

But when she saw Su Mo, the other party's first sentence was beyond Ying's expectations. (To read the exciting novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"You've been fooled."

"What?"

Ying was confused, not understanding what Su Mo was saying and how she was fooled.

Su Mo looked at Ying helplessly: "You were quite smart when you were in contact with other Teyvatians and even with me before. Why are you so careless this time?"

"Wait, what are you talking about? I don't understand. Can you explain it more clearly?"

Su Mo was speechless: "You just asked Paimon to come here to tip off. What else could it be that he called you here at this critical moment?"

"Are you talking about the agreement between Zhongli and me? How did I fall for his trick?"

"What else?"

Su Mo saw that Ying hadn't noticed anything wrong, so he rolled his eyes: "Come on, he's the God of Contract. He's been playing contracts for thousands of years. Can't he find out such an obvious word game?"

Do you have any misunderstanding about his professionalism?

Or do you think you're smarter than everyone else?

Su Mo really didn't understand how Ying dared to think that he could easily get the upper hand over Zhongli 0......

You know, even when he was negotiating a deal with Zhongli, he had to concentrate, fearing that the other party's next sentence was to set him up.

Although he had the upper hand that time, Su Mo knew very well how much he weighed.

The reason why he was able to get the upper hand that time was entirely due to the special nature of the Dimension City, which was to seize the initiative. []

Otherwise, it would be reallyYou can't get anything for free.

Ying actually thought that she could trick Zhongli with just her mouth.

Su Mo could only say: You are really a tiger.

"Uh..."

After being enlightened by Su Mo, Ying also reacted.

Yes, he is the God of Contract, who specializes in this. How could he not notice her trickery?

Thinking of her previous complacency, Ying couldn't help but feel embarrassed. She could dig a Liyue Harbor on the ground with her toes.

But she still suppressed her embarrassment and asked humbly: "Why didn't he expose me? What is his purpose?"

She was now eager to know what she had been fooled into and what the consequences would be.

"His purpose should be to trick you into standing on one side."

After listening to Paimeng's story, Su Mo deduced Zhongli's purpose as soon as he found something wrong 2.0, and now he has basically guessed it.

"Trick me into standing on one side?"

"Yes, it doesn't matter whether you abide by this contract or not. What matters is that you have signed a contract with him, so this contract can bind you and you can only stand on his side in the next Liyue turmoil."

Ying, who had gradually calmed down at this time, thought carefully and found that it seemed to be true.

Although she thought about using word games to have both ends, after agreeing, her mentality had begun to change quietly.

When Paimeng asked her whether breach of contract would have adverse effects, her answer contained some excuses for her own behavior, but she also seriously considered Liyue.

Even Paimeng was the same, otherwise he would not ask like that.
