"As someone with a suspicious identity who squeezes in at the front of the ceremony, you will most likely be accused of assassinating the Rock God, right? If I were you, I would definitely try to escape as soon as possible."

Hearing Paimon's words, Gao Muming smiled and waved his hand indifferently.

"Do not worry."

Seeing Gao Muming's nonchalant attitude, Ying lowered his head and seemed to be thinking about something, while Paimon approached with a curious look on his face.

"I see that you don't seem to care about this matter. Could it be that as a member of the treasure-stealing group, you got some inside information from your friends in the underworld?"

After hearing Paimon's question, Ying, who thought the same thing, followed Paimon and looked at Gao Muming curiously, wanting to hear Gao Muming's explanation.

After all, not long ago, Venti, the god of wind, had his heart ripped out by the goddess of the Fatui in front of Ying and her heart of god was taken away.

This incident caused a great deviation in Ying's understanding of the power of the gods of Teyvat. He felt that the seven existing gods of Teyvat were more of a spiritual belief. Although they could live forever, their power was limited compared to that of the holder of the Eye of God.

Therefore, she had no doubt about Ningguang's statement that Rock God was successfully assassinated. However, when she saw that Gao Muming's expression was obviously different from the panicked crowd watching the ceremony at Yujingtai, she also felt that Gao Muming knew some inside information.

"I don't have any inside information, it's just that in my opinion I don't need to be nervous."

"Why?"

"Is there any need to think about this? I am almost certain that the so-called interrogation will be just a formality."

Gao Muming spread his hands and pointed at the dragon body not far away.

"That's the longest-living god, Emperor Yanwang. Anyone who is really capable of assassinating him cannot be stopped by the Thousand Rock Army."

"Ningguang did this just to block the news as soon as possible and buy her time to seize the rights to Liyue Harbor."

As he spoke, Gao Muming looked at Ying beside him.

"However, I have thought about it carefully. For Ningguang who wants to take advantage of the opportunity to control the power of Liyue Harbor, she needs to buy enough time."

"However, due to the large number of people gathered in Yujingtai, the time that can be delayed by simply relying on the Qianyan Army to investigate and block the news is really limited."

"If she wants to achieve her temporary goal, she really needs a scapegoat to divert attention and buy more time."

Paimeng, who originally felt that Gao Muming's analysis made some sense and nodded along with it, reacted after noticing that Gao Muming's eyes looked a little strange at Ying.

"Wait, why were you looking at Ying when you said you were the scapegoat?"

When Paimon was shocked and Ying raised his hand to cover his forehead, Takagi Akira spoke.

"Why look at Ying? Of course, it's because Ying is the most suitable person to take the blame at the scene right now."

"After all, compared to putting the blame on an ordinary person who has no power to watch the ceremony, I think it is more convincing to put the blame on a traveler with a power that can rival that of a dragon and whose origins are unknown, right?"

After hearing Gao Muming's explanation, Paimon quickly flew to Ying's side.

"!! Ying, I suddenly feel that now is not the time to chat, think about what to do."

"That's true. For safety's sake, before officially confirming whether Rock God is my enemy, it's better to treat him as an enemy from the past."

Ying lowered her head with her left hand resting on her chin, thinking. After hearing Paimon's question, Ying raised her head.

"No matter what, we must find a way to leave Yujingtai first. If we fall into the hands of Qianyan Army, many things will become very troublesome."

As she spoke, Ying looked at Gao Muming with hopeful eyes.

"As a treasure-stealing group, you have been dealing with the Qianyan Army for many years. Do you have any way for us to leave Yujingtai without alerting the Qianyan Army guarding it?"

I originally thought that Ying would just run away after deciding to secretly leave Yujingtai, but I didn't expect that she would know to seek help from someone with the same professional background as me. This very reasonable request stunned Gao Muming, who just came here to join in the fun and watch the show.

Then Gao Muming reacted and shook his head.

"To put it bluntly, this Yujing Terrace is just a huge square. With the entrances and exits blocked, it's impossible to leave quietly without alerting others."

"If we haven't been noticed, we might have a chance when the Qianyan Army starts to question and release people. But it's probably too late now."

After hearing what Gao Muming said, Paimon asked curiously.

"It's late? What do you mean?"

"The three of us, especially Xiao Pai Meng, are really too conspicuous among such a group of mentally disturbed people."

As he spoke, Gao Muming signaled with his eyes to the Qianyan Army who were staring at the three of them not far away.

After discovering that he had become the focus of attention, Paimon suddenly panicked.

"Then what should we do now?"

"It depends on what you think."

Gao Muming looked at Ying in front of him, who had a serious expression on his face.

"If you insist on not dealing with the Qianyan Army, I can help you create some chaos so that you can take the opportunity to leave."

After hearing what Gao Muming said, Ying did not agree immediately, but showed a worried look.

"Are you planning to expose your identity as a treasure-stealing group and help me create chaos? Do you have a way to get away safely?"

In response to Ying's concern, Takagi Akira just gave a confident smile.

"Don't worry. As a member of the treasure-stealing group, I have to be a top-notch escapee, not to mention other skills. If I hadn't used some tricks, I would have been caught by the Qianyan Army long ago. Besides, it's just creating a little chaos. There's no need to reveal my true identity."

"By the way, in order to avoid being exposed and being wanted by the Qianyan Army, we should meet up at the Tongque Yaksha Temple near Lisha Suburb after we successfully escape."

"The Tongque Yaksha Temple in Lisha Suburb? I see."

Ying nodded and repeated the meeting place that Gao Muming had mentioned.

Seeing that Ying remembered it, Gao Muming whispered "I'm sorry" in Ying's ear.

Under Ying's somewhat surprised gaze, Gao Muming suddenly flashed to Ying's side, put one hand on Ying's waist and exerted force suddenly. With a gentle force, Ying was lifted towards the exit of Yujingtai.

While throwing Ying away, Gao Muming cursed loudly.

"Damn you, I just did something wrong in Mondstadt. You actually followed me all the way to Liyue Harbor. You are so stubborn. You are really a haunting guy."

As soon as Gao Muming made a noise, the ordinary people around distanced themselves from Gao Muming and scattered, while Paimon flew to Ying who was leaning against the entrance of Yujingtai.
