Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

"Xiao, no need to send me off again." Su said.

No matter how much you send it, it will be sent back to its origin.

Guiliyuan is very big, and it is a long way from Wangshu Inn to Guiliyuan.

Besides, Xiao has the task of patrolling Dihuazhou, Guiliyuan, and monitoring Guyun Pavilion. I spent so much time sending them today, and I will just work overtime and speed up to make up for the work.

That way he will be very tired in the near future.

Xiao's long eyelashes drooped, revealing an imperceptible sense of loss, "I just..."

Just want to spend more time with friends.

Su looked at Xiao's bright golden eyes, which also became dim like the sun being obscured by clouds.

Somehow Su suddenly remembered an explanation.

I heard that there is a kind of bird that will become depressed if separated from its important people, and in serious cases, it may even suffer from depression.

The feeling that Xiao gives Su now is a bit like that little bird.

If Xiao hadn't been unable to give up his duties, Su would have taken the little bird... no, Xiao.

Again.

If Xiao was not unable to give up his duties, Su would have pulled Xiao into her team long ago and taken him, Sora, and Paimon to travel and experience the world!

But Xiao was determined and insisted on his duty. Su didn't want to force him, because Su knew that this responsibility was an important part of Xiao's success and could not be easily abandoned.

"After we attend this year's Immortal Invitation Ceremony, we will find the Rock King to ask for information. We will come back to you after everything is settled."

Xiao also knew that the Traveler Team was going to ask the Seven Gods about the whereabouts of Kong's sister Ying. Xiao also planned to help them find out the news after meeting the Emperor.

If the sister is found successfully, the Traveler Team will bring her to see Xiao.

If things don't go well, they will need to rest for a while before going to the next country, and they will also come to see Xiao.

"I'll wait for you." Xiao stood still. "If you run into trouble in Liyue, just call me by name and I'll get there as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Paimon covered his forehead with his hands.

She didn't believe it! She tried, but couldn't shout! Unless...

Paimon's gaze shifted to the girl.

Sue laughed, "What if we just missed you and mentioned your name when we were talking about you?"

The tips of Xiao's ears were stained lightly red.

What Su means by this is... that you will miss me...?

"So let's make this agreement," Su Hehe suggested, "If we suddenly summon Xiao three times in a row, that means we want to see Xiao."

"But in this case, it's very likely that Paimon ate something delicious and wanted Xiao to try it too, so there's no need to rush."

Don't rush here without caring about your own safety.

Xiao nodded, "Let's say goodbye here, you guys can go now."

After the Traveler Team walked a long way away, Paimon looked back and saw the young immortal still standing there.

Paimeng looked at Su: "Su, look behind..."

Su turned his head and behind him was just Gui Liyuan, who was standing quietly.

——＊——＊——

Liyue Harbor, the most famous trading capital in the continent of Teyvat.

Large ships sailing from various countries leave and arrive in the port in an orderly manner, and merchants and customers from various countries are shoulder to shoulder on the streets. It is lively and prosperous.

Paimon was overwhelmed by the sight: "So many people! And so many foreigners! Wow, there are shops opened by foreigners!"

"Su, come quickly, this store actually sells holy relics! They are so expensive!"

"What is this? A specialty from my hometown? Transported from the Kingdom of Winter? Wow, it's not easy to get it."

After finally waiting for the excited Paimon to calm down, the Traveler Team began to discuss business.

As a reliable guide, Paimon provides scientific knowledge to the outsider Kong and the amnesiac Su.

"The rock god Morax is the oldest god among the seven gods. He is also a very respected god among the seven gods. The Morax we use is named after this god."

“In Liyue, it would be better for us to address him as [Emperor Rock King] like the locals do.”

The fact that Geo King is highly respected is something that the Traveler Team has already experienced superficially from Xiao.

Xiao, who usually speaks little and looks cold, will light up his eyes and talk more when the "Emperor" is mentioned.

Xiao was once enslaved by an evil god. It was the Geo King who rescued Xiao and made a contract with him to protect Liyue. He used his responsibility to keep Xiao and forge the Xiao of today.

After unifying the title of the Rock God, Paimon suggested, "The Immortal Ceremony is the day when Liyue can see the Rock King once a year. Let's go ask the locals for the specific time and place."

The team of travelers found a Liyue local, a lady with a gentle temperament and who seemed easy to talk to.

Paimon approached and asked about the time and place of the ceremony to invite the immortal.

The lady in the long cheongsam responded to them in a friendly manner.

"The ceremony of inviting the immortals is today. Every year, the Geo Emperor will grant an oracle to guide the direction of Liyue for the year. Last year, the one who invited the oracle was the [Yuheng Star] from the [Seven Stars of Liyue]."

[Liyue Seven Stars]? [Yuheng Star]?

Su thought of the Knights of Favonius, Fatui, Ladies, and the Order of the Abyss that he had learned about in Mondstadt before... He felt that the organizations and titles in this game were really a series of sets.

Paimon proudly added, "Hehe~ I know this! If Mondstadt is a city-state of [freedom], then Liyue is a kingdom of [contract], which values ​​commerce and trade. The seven great merchants representing the seven commercial forces are the [Liyue Seven Stars], who are the actual controllers of this country."

The lady who heard this sighed and disagreed, "Ah, outsiders always say this, but the real ruler of our Liyue will always be the Geo King. The Seven Stars are human, and the Emperor is a god. The God of Freedom is not in Mondstadt, but our God lives forever."

In the eyes of her and many Liyue people, the Seven Stars are just agents who help the Emperor deal with complicated tasks and can exercise some of the rights distributed by the Emperor.

Liyue was created by Geo King, and the confidence of the Liyue people has always been Geo King.

“Are you travelers from Mondstadt? Then you must stay in Liyue for a while and experience our Liyue more. Since you have just left the [City Where Gods Are Absent], it is time to experience our [History of Walking with Gods].”

The Emperor is the longest-lived god among the Seven Gods, and Liyue, created by the Emperor, also has the longest history.

The cheongsam lady was filled with pride for the emperor and her country.

"Uh...thank you for the invitation," Paimon, who was being asked to explain things, scratched his head. "Then where is the exact location of the ceremony to invite the immortals?"

"It's at Yujing Terrace," the lady in the cheongsam pointed in the direction of the mountain. "It's the highest point in this port city. It sounds like a good place to communicate with the gods, right?"
