When Ying hurried to Wangshu Inn, it was already late, and it was already midnight. She and Paimeng searched everywhere in the inn, but they could not find any trace of the immortal.

Paimeng complained to Ying in frustration: "Traveler, are there really immortals here? I feel that this place is completely different from Jueyunjian. I can't feel any immortal energy at all!"

Facing Paimon's doubts, Ying could only scratch his head helplessly and tried to comfort her, saying, "There is no need for the immortal to deceive us. Maybe he just hid it better. Let's look carefully, maybe we can find something on the terrace."

So the two of them came to the terrace together, but what they saw was an empty space. Paimon immediately became disappointed and said with a pout, "Isn't he here?" But Ying didn't pay much attention to Paimon's emotions, but walked towards the railing on her own. Seeing this, Paimon hurriedly followed.

Standing by the railing, Ying looked out into the distance, taking in the beautiful scenery around him. Paimon was also shocked by the magnificent scenery and couldn't help but exclaimed. At this moment, it seemed as if all the fatigue and loss disappeared, replaced by awe of the wonders of nature.

Just as the two were enjoying the beautiful scenery, a voice came from the side: "What we see may not be what we believe."

Ying and Paimeng were suddenly startled, their bodies trembled involuntarily, and they quickly looked to the side. At this moment, they found that a figure had appeared beside them quietly and silently. Xiao said to them calmly: "Are you looking for me?"

Seeing Xiao appear, Ying immediately realized that she had found the right person, so she quickly took out the Hundred Taboos Seal and handed it to him. After Xiao took the Hundred Taboos Seal, his eyes flashed slightly: "Is this the Hundred Taboos Seal? It seems that you have been prepared for this. But compared to this, I am more interested in the familiar aura emanating from you."

Xiao's words confused Ying and Paimon. They looked at each other, completely not understanding what the familiar smell Xiao was talking about meant.

Seeing their confused faces, Xiao took the initiative to explain: "Do you know Alicia?"

When Paimon heard this, he opened his mouth in surprise: "Oh! So you also know Miss Ellie?"

Ying also stared at Xiao with curiosity. Ai Li did mention that she knew some immortals, but she didn't say that she knew them all!

Xiao nodded solemnly, and then said seriously: "She has done me a great favor, and I have always been eager to repay her."

As Xiao spoke, he took out the crystal flower that Alicia had given him. The crystal clear petals flickered faintly in the sunlight, as if they contained endless secrets.

Ying stared at the familiar crystal flower, and an indescribable feeling surged in her heart. She immediately believed what Xiao said was true, and the familiar aura Xiao mentioned must be the trace left behind before. When everything became clear, Ying began to explain to Xiao in detail.

When Xiao found out that the source of the aura was the crystal flower that Ailixia had asked her to pass on to Master Liuyun Jiefeng, he nodded thoughtfully and fell into a brief silence. After a moment, he suddenly raised his head, stared at Ying sharply, and asked, "So, did Miss Aili ever mention me to you?"

Paimeng was a little stunned by Xiao's sudden question. She opened her mouth but didn't know how to answer. She subconsciously looked at Ying, hoping to get some inspiration from her.

However, surprisingly, Ying was looking at Paimeng at the moment, with the same confusion and bewilderment in her eyes. Obviously, neither of them knew how to answer this question.

Seeing Ying and Paimon's reactions, Xiao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He nodded gently, as if he had foreseen such a result. However, despite this, Xiao still decided to ask Ying why they came.

When Xiao heard the news of the assassination of the Emperor, his brows slightly furrowed, and a trace of worry was revealed in his eyes. In an instant, he saw the key, but he did not reveal too much to Ying and Paimeng. Although it is not clear why the Emperor did this, Xiao believes that the Emperor must have a deep meaning.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao said to Ying, "I already know about this matter. I never thought that the Emperor would encounter such a dilemma. As for the role of Qixing in this matter, it is still unclear. I will go to find the three True Lords, Xueyue, Lishui, and Liuyun. I believe that the other three True Lords should have discussed a countermeasure by now."

Paimon asked curiously, "Will you really take over the management of Liyue?" Xiao nodded without hesitation and answered solemnly, "As immortals, we will not shirk our responsibilities. Protecting Liyue is our mission." His voice was firm and steady, as if he was declaring his determination to the world.

After Xiao finished speaking, his body finally turned into a wisp of breeze and disappeared without a trace under the gaze of Ying and Paimon.

Paimon touched his forehead, as if there was sweat there, and then said with emotion: "I didn't expect everything to go so smoothly. In this way, our mission should be successfully completed."

Ying nodded in agreement, but at the same time she sighed, "Yes, it is thanks to Ai Li that I can see so many immortals who are rarely seen at one time this time."

Paimon nodded in agreement, and then suggested a little embarrassedly: "Traveler, can we not rush back to Liyue Port? Look, it's completely dark now, how about staying overnight at the nearby Wangshu Inn?

"Ying saw through Paimeng's thoughts at a glance and asked directly, "Are you tired?" After being seen through, Paimeng smiled a little awkwardly and let out a "hehe..." laugh.

Ying saw Paimeng's reaction and shook her head helplessly, but she did not object. After all, they were exhausted after traveling all the way here. So, the two decided to stay at Wangshu Inn for one night and have a good rest.

In Liyue Harbor, after Alysia carefully settled Funina down, she left their temporary residence quietly without making any sound, like a breeze.

Her destination was the outskirts of Liyue Harbor, where there was a peaceful and tranquil scene. The green grass swayed in the wind, and the mountains in the distance were looming, giving people a sense of isolation from the world. Alicia came here because she wanted to meet someone.

When she finally arrived at the agreed location, she saw that figure at a glance. The man had his back to her, standing with his hands behind his back, his figure as straight as a pine tree. He stood there quietly, gazing at the Lonely Cloud Pavilion in the distance, seemingly in deep thought.
