Genshin Impact: Lady Keqing wants to monopolize me, a playboy

The sun is shining brightly in the sky.

"The auspicious time has come."

Ningguang gently raised her hand to block the light, and after a moment, she spoke softly.

As the ceremony begins.

The sky gradually became dark, and there were lightning and thunder.

Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, a huge creature that was half scaled and half dragon fell straight down.

"Mr. Zhongli."

Hill reminded Zhongli, then used his energy to pull him and Paimon back, while he himself quickly pulled Ying and Hu Tao beside him.

Not only him, everyone else also panicked and hid aside.

The scene of the ceremony of inviting the immortals suddenly became chaotic.

Ningguang ignored everyone's comments and walked directly to the immortal body of Emperor Rock King to examine it.

"The emperor has been killed! Lock down the whole place!"

The next moment, Ningguang's eyes moved slightly, and she waved her hand and shouted sternly.

Following Ningguang's order, the Qianyan Army rushed over and took control of the scene.

Ying and Paimeng's hearts instantly rose to their throats. Would they be suspected?

"Relax, it's not us who did it, why are you panicking?"

Hill spoke to calm the two of them.

"That's right. We are just onlookers. What does it have to do with us?"

"That's the Rock King Emperor. Who can assassinate him?"

Nutcracker clenched his fists and put his hands on his waist.

How could something like this be so simple?

Ying and Paimon breathed a sigh of relief. That made sense, Qixing couldn't arrest them without any evidence.

Zhongli turned his head away feeling guilty. Who would know about such things?

Several people stayed where they were, waiting for the Qianyan Army to search.

"An official of the Fatui?"

"A foreign traveler?"

"Excuse me, please come with us."

"what?"

Hill looked surprised.

No, buddy, don't you know my identity? I am a pure and honest citizen!

It was definitely not an option to take action, so Hill decided to call Ningguang and ask her for help.

But Ningguang took the initiative to come over, but the result was not what Hill expected...

"This is about the Emperor, so there must be no negligence."

"Please don't do anything to embarrass us."

Ningguang said in a serious tone.

The Qianyan Army immediately surrounded Ying and Paimon.

Hill was about to explain something, but Ningguang took advantage of the fact that no one's attention was on them and gave Hill a look.

No, what is going on?

Even with Hill's smart mind, he couldn't figure out what was going on for a while. Generally speaking, shouldn't the Fatui be the ones causing trouble?

Just as he was thinking about what to do, Ying and Paimon broke through the siege of the Qianyan Army and ran away.

Wait...if I run away in this situation, wouldn't that make me more suspicious?

Seeing this, Ningguang hinted to Hill again, motioning for Hill to follow.

What is going on? Why does Ningguang seem like she is involved in it?

Hill had no choice but to follow Ying.

"Forget it, it has come to this. I'll explain it later."

"Let's get out of here first."

Ying saw Xier following her and opened her mouth to explain something.

Hill condensed the element of water in his hands and with a slight wave, it turned into several streams of water, temporarily trapping the Qianyan Army that was chasing them.

There's no need to hurt these ordinary soldiers, just stop them.

"Hey, friend, this way, follow me."

"Sir?"

"You seem surprised to see me. This isn't a good place for small talk. Come with me first."

After saying that, the young master stood up and ran towards the Northland Bank.

"Hill..."

"Let's go with him first."

"It's okay, I'll stand by you."

Hill understood that Ying must be very nervous, so he spoke to comfort her.

Sure enough, after hearing Hill's words, Ying and Paimon immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The three followed the young master and came to the Northland Bank.

"Rest for a while, Traveler. The Thousand Rocks Army won't be able to find you for a while."

The young master spoke to Ying, then gave Hill a look of praise.

He was originally thinking about how to get in touch with Ying, but now, his friend seemed to be able to help.

Hill also glanced at the young master. He remembered that the other party should be the leader of the team in the Layered Abyss. Why did he return to Liyue Harbor?

Could it be that the Fatui also participated in the ceremony of inviting the immortals?

Take a break.

"Northland Bank?"

"Yes, this is the bank opened by Zhidong in Liyue."

"Although Liyue is the most important commercial center in Teyvat, our country is also very wealthy."

However, unlike the accumulation of wealth in Liyue, Zhidong seized massive amounts of wealth from all over Teyvat through brutal and violent plunder.

"Yes, even a poor country cannot afford to support a diplomat who would flatter the Knights of Favonius."

Paimon taunted.

Although Hill is an exception, they don't have a good impression of other Fatui.

"Hehehe."

"Here, give you this."

The young master did not answer the question directly, but took out a talisman and handed it to Ying.

"This is..."

Paimon asked in confusion, why did they have to give them things for no reason.

"Who knows? Sometimes money can only buy [thing], but not [name]."

"To put it simply, this thing is a token, a token that will ensure that the Three-Eyed Five-Manifestation Immortal will not harm you."

"You mean... Immortal?"

Paimon seems to know something about immortals.

But Ying, who was standing by, was completely confused.

Then, the young master began to talk about the immortals.

Just as the young master was talking about seeking justice, Hill interrupted him.

"Sir, I think you should explain what happened at the meeting."

Hill crossed his arms, the young master didn't seem like someone who would do such a thing for no reason.

Therefore, he must have some ulterior motive.

In addition, he felt that it was a very stupid thing to cause trouble directly during the ceremony of inviting the immortals.

It will definitely cause a diplomatic dispute.

This kind of thing can never be done openly.

However, the specific situation depends on what the young master says.

After all, there was something wrong with Ningguang's performance.

I just don't know if Ningguang is planning to use this to trick the Fatui or if she has her own plans.

"Friend, it's okay if Qixing is overly defensive against us."

"Even our own people doubt each other?"

The young man raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender.

"I just don't think this is a good time to do it."

Hill shook his head. He had no objection to taking the Heart of God, but he would be very dissatisfied if such a stupid thing got him into trouble.

If public resentment boils over and reaches a point that even the Seven Stars cannot control, then he, Hill, will have no choice but to sever cooperation with Liyue.

After all, he didn't want to implicate Keqing because of this.

Ying watched silently. Even a fool could feel that there was a conspiracy behind this matter.
