Hua Yi watched [Ms.] leave in a subtle way so as not to be witnessed, and returned to the mansion. Not long after, she heard a knock on the door.

Liyue Qixing Ningguang came to visit her as she said before.

Even though I have only been in Liyue Port for a few days, Hua Yi’s residence has already become lively.

"According to the etiquette that should be followed, I should have ordered someone to come with generous gifts to express my gratitude, but - the ceremony of inviting immortals that I presided over suddenly changed. Now my position has become special in the eyes of many people. If I visit you with great fanfare, It will do more harm than good to you. As for the thank you gift, please allow me to prove my innocence before sending it."

Different from [Ms.]'s attitude, Ningguang's words and deeds are full of sincerity.

In fact, in the eyes of many people in Liyue Port, down to the streets, ordinary life, ordinary work, there is no chance to meet the people of Qixing. Up to the Seven Stars and Eight Sects that have an intersection with [Tian Quan], Ning Guang has always been an elegant and proud existence. He maintains politeness and distance towards everyone, implying the majesty of the superior.

But when facing Hua Yi, Ning Guang Guang only restrained all the majesty of the so-called superior, and even the distance became much closer.

A friend in need is a friend indeed, and in the current situation, Hua Yi, who simply extended a helping hand to him, already had a special feeling in Ningguang's heart. status

"I totally understand."

Hua Yi didn't care about Ningguang's thank you. Instead, he talked about the things that the other party cared about.

"I have entrusted experienced adventurers from the Adventurers Association to deliver a message to Mondstadt. If you are worried, you can send someone to protect you secretly to avoid mistakes."

Seeing that Hua Yi had considered it to such an extent, his eyes flashed slightly.

Talking to a smart person is a pleasant thing, not to mention that this smart man can understand himself and stand on his side.

Why is Hua Yi Will he help himself so decisively?

Before coming to visit, Ningguang briefly thought about this issue.

Perhaps Qin, who had corresponded with him through letters, said something to Hua Yi, or perhaps Hua Yi considered it from Mond's perspective. He believed that maintaining basic order in Liyue Port would be beneficial to Mondstadt.

To be honest, Ningguang hoped that Hua Yi's actions would be based on personal wishes rather than the overall situation of Mondstadt.

Because Ningguang was in a delicate situation, he seemed to have no choice but to turn to Mondstadt. Hua Yi revealed some ideas and even discussed the next action plan with the other party.

The three secretaries Bai Xiao, Bai Shi, and Bai Wen were trustworthy, but their character was at an ordinary level after all, and there were some things that Ning Guang could not freely tell them.

The Seven Stars are nominally colleagues, and they jointly carry out the oracles given by the emperor in past immortal invitation ceremonies. In fact, they are not really friendly with each other, and there is even some friction due to differences in concepts.

As for the Eight Gates and Qian The subordinates who belong to the Yan Army and are managed by Qixing, and even the ordinary forces who try to curry favor with Qixing, there is no one that Ning Guang can have a heart-to-heart relationship with.

"Hua Yi, do you think Emperor Yanwang is really dead?"

"Compared to my answer, you seem to already have the answer in your mind."

What Ningguang expects is indeed not a simple yes or no answer from Hua Yi.

He can easily understand this, which makes Ningguang feel like he has found a confidant.

"……If you have been to Wangshu Inn, you should know that the immortals have been guarding the land of Liyue. Compared with ordinary monsters, monsters evolved from the residue of the devil are more terrifying monsters and are the main targets of immortals."

Before the visit, Ningguang was still a little hesitant about whether to disclose the information he had to Hua Yi.

At this moment, he got a kind of confidant from Hua Yi that"no matter what he says, he can understand it." The feeling, the condensed light will eliminate the last hesitation

"Even the losers who died during the Demon God War can leave behind the residue of the Demon God, which is still raging in Liyue after thousands of years. As the winner of that war, Emperor Yan Wang should not be the only one who has passed away. It's so simple to make the world turn pale for a moment during the ceremony."

"Didn't anyone else think of this?"

Ningguang thought that Hua Yi would be surprised when he heard his words and understood the hidden information in them. Unexpectedly, he calmly asked about the situation further. As expected, he had already guessed.

Could it be that he was at the ceremony of inviting immortals? You guessed this, so you showed trust in yourself?

Thinking of this, Ningguang marveled at Hua Yi's wisdom, and suddenly felt a little worried about gains and losses.

She suppressed her complicated emotions

"Qixing has access to Liyue's secrets, just like the demon-conquering sage at Wangshu Inn, and therefore understands that the demon remnants do exist. But ordinary people living in Liyue don't know, and they don't know the reality of the existence of demons and immortals."

It is impossible for Qixing to publicly announce that there is an immortal in Wangshu Inn. That would cause countless immortal seekers to flock to Wangshu Inn, which would displease the quiet-loving Great Sage of Conquering Demons.

"Although Liyue is not a country of wind and poetry like Mondstadt, there have always been a lot of epic legends and mysterious rumors circulating here. There are so many fabricated stories that people who are unable to make waves subconsciously regard all information as fictional. In this case, I simply cannot rely on verbal arguments to prove my position."

Hua Yi listened to Ning Guang's words quietly.

Since the other party acted so sincerely and revealed all his thoughts, Hua Yi felt that he had to make some response.

"If the changes in the Immortal Invitation Ceremony were caused by Yan Shen, then for Liyue, the days of walking with gods may have really become a thing of the past. No matter what Yan Shen thinks, Liyue must accept the fact that the god will no longer appear, just like Mondstadt"

"Yes."

There was something strange in Ningguang's eyes.

What Hua Yi said was once again consistent with her point of view.

"I am now sorting out information from all parties to check whether there has been any fluctuations in god-level elemental power today or even some time ago, and to determine the status of the Rock King."

He pursed his lips, Ningguang looked complicated, and finally continued to speak.

"There is one more thing that has to be taken into consideration - the attitude of the Rishi. One of the many titles held by Emperor Yan Wang is that he is the ancestor of all immortals, and the immortals of Liyue are his subordinates and comrades-in-arms. If the immortals just punish me, I have nothing to say. If there is something wrong with the ceremony of inviting immortals, I, the host, should be responsible. But if the immortals continue to direct their anger towards the other seven stars, and even the entire Liyue Port……"
