Reborn as Xiao in another world, targeted by the little red bird

When the group arrived at the rooftop terrace, there were only empty plates there, and no sign of "Xiao".

Su Yunyan looked at the residue on a plate and said, "Hey, this doesn't look like almond tofu."

"It seems we are a step too late. Xiao has already left."

As soon as Helan Liuying finished speaking, a familiar voice came from behind the group.

"It's you? I thought..."

"Do you think you haven't seen us for so long because we died in some corner?" Qiu Liuyun interrupted "Xiao" and stared at the latter with a teasing look as he flashed from the roof to everyone.

"...No." Xiao denied it flatly, with a look of unconcealed sorrow between his brows. "What is the matter with you coming to see me this time?"

"Can't I come to see you if nothing happens?" Qiu Liuyun raised his eyebrows at "Xiao". It couldn't be said that "Xiao" had no reaction, but only that he looked confused.

"Okay, okay, I do have something to talk to you about." Seeing that "Xiao"'s expression had become serious again, Qiu Liuyun glanced meaningfully at the empty plate beside him.

"I confess, we came here to find out your preferences. It seems that you like more than just almond tofu."

"..." "Xiao" stared at Qiu Liuyun speechlessly, and the sadness between his brows faded a little.

He sighed and explained, "It was done by a traveler who brought with him a message from Xue Yue and the Scroll of No Taboos."

Qiu Liuyun looked at "Xiao" jokingly and said jokingly, "Why do you make it sound like he forced you to eat it?"

"Xiao" hurriedly defended himself: "This is my own will, it has nothing to do with him."

"Before we came to you, we met two outsiders. I guess they were the travelers you mentioned. Are they the same..."

"Stop teasing Xiao." Helan Liuying said helplessly.

I don't know why, but when I heard these words coming out of her mouth, Xiao felt it was unbelievable.

"That's right." Su Yunyan echoed, and suddenly found that Qiu Liuyun looked a little strange, so she asked, "What's wrong with Brother Liuyun?"

Qiu Liuyun asked without thinking, "Do you remember what the strange couple we met when we entered the inn looked like?"

"Of course he remembers. Such a short time has passed and he..." Su Yunyan paused and looked at Helan Liuying. They both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

"Are you talking about that traveler? He..." "Xiao" was stunned and frowned.

"It seems that you can't remember it either, right? It's really strange. Our memory is not bad, so why do we forget so quickly?" Qiu Liuyun sighed and cast an inquiring look at Huang Guxuan who was watching the show on the side.

"Do I look like I know everything?" Huang Guxuan asked. He touched his chin, which was not painful, and then changed the subject: "Usually, abnormal things may be a breakthrough."

"Forget it, let's put this aside for now and talk about it when we meet the traveler again." Qiu Liuyun looked at "Xiao", "Since it is a message from the True Lord and a token from the Rock King Emperor, the traveler should have brought some very important news, right?"

"...Yes." When the topic came to this, Xiao showed a look of disappointment, "I can tell you about this, but... don't let anyone know."

When they learned that the Rock King Emperor was assassinated during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony and fell to his death on the Jade Capital Terrace, everyone was shocked. He was the victor who emerged from the battle among the demons. Who could assassinate him on his territory now? Could it be the gods of the neighboring countries?

Moreover, regardless of whether the demons were strong or weak, their deaths were often accompanied by disasters. The Rock King Emperor died directly during the Immortal Summoning Ceremony, and the Liyue Harbor...

When they learned that Liyue Harbor was not in serious danger and that the Liyue Seven Stars even had the leisure to seal off the scene and arrest the mortals who were watching the ceremony as assassins, they became even more confused.

Perhaps seeing their confusion, Xiao let out a sigh, "This may be the reason why Xueyue invited us."

"But we shouldn't be included in the invitation list, right?" Qiu Liuyun winked at the others, "Let's go to Liyue Harbor first to see what's going on. Don't worry, we won't do anything rash."

"Well, take care on your journey." Xiao nodded, "It's time for me to go find the three True Lords, Xueyue, Lishui, and Liuyun."

"Does Xiao know what actions other immortals will take?" Su Yunyan asked curiously.

"I don't know... but, this is our duty. The immortals will not shirk it. They... we will make the right decision." "Xiao" said firmly.

After leaving Wangshu Inn, on the way to Liyue Harbor, the group tried to connect the known information, but failed. Huang Guxuan, who had been outside the discussion, interrupted and said, "Let me make it clear in advance that I will not be able to take action for a while. It is impossible for me to travel through different spaces with so many people without any losses."

After flying on Lingxiao's back for a while, everyone arrived at Liyue Harbor.

As soon as they entered the city, the cries of street vendors reached their ears. People were coming and going on the street, and everyone was happy or sad about their own things. It was completely impossible to tell that they had experienced such a major event as the death of a god. If they had not accidentally heard the people at the next table whispering about the rumors of the ceremony of inviting the immortals a few days ago while eating at the Wanmin Hall, they would have thought that "Xiao" had been deceived by the traveler.

They had to admit that Qixing did a good job of blocking the news.

When it was late at night, they did not take the usual route, but climbed up the Yujing Terrace directly along the wall under the cover of darkness. The Yujing Terrace had been cleaned up, and the remains of the Rock King Emperor - the Immortal Ancestor's Transfiguration - were not found. Even all traces of the day of the accident had been erased.

"It's so clean." Qiu Liuyun sighed.

Helan Liuying came back after checking the surroundings: "There are no things that the demon gods would leave behind after their death. Although there are alchemists and doctors among mortals, they should not be able to deal with such things."

"So?" Su Yunyan asked.

Qiu Liuyun curled his lips and said, "We won't speculate on God's considerations. Let's just do what we need to do next and let things develop for a while."

"Who's there!" A ray of light swept over from the direction of the entrance.

"Hey, when did you come?" Qiu Liuyun covered his face with his hands and raised his chin towards the others, "Leave, leave."

The next few days were peaceful. The Qianyan Army did not recognize that they were the ones who broke into Yujingtai at night, but they met the traveler who was followed by a white UFO.

It's magical. Even though they couldn't remember the traveler's appearance clearly, they recognized him at a glance, as if he already had his appearance in their minds.

There is often a distinguished and generous young man next to the traveler. As soon as he speaks, he gives people the feeling of an upper-class gentleman. He can easily use the special terms such as "Jinwu Cangjiao", "Shanyin Jinchuang", and "Piaomiao Xianyuan". Not only the traveler next to him, but also the eavesdroppers were stunned. The temperament exuded by the young man made everyone feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but they couldn't remember where this familiarity came from for a while.

However, the group could not hear clearly the communication between the young man and the traveler. They just felt that there might be important information in it, so when they were far away, they came out from the dark, entered the Wanyou shop, pretended to buy something, chatted with the owner, and finally succeeded in getting some useful information out of him.

The two came here to prepare the colorful flowers needed for the fairy ceremony.

Of course, everyone knew about the ceremony of sending off the immortals. It was an old tradition of Liyue. It was a memorial ceremony for every immortal who passed away. It was not an exaggeration to call it an immortal's funeral.

This is even more strange. The scene clearly doesn't look like the death of a demon, but the funeral was held in the city without any fuss.

As for whether the last few people bought anything, they definitely did. They came to the Wanyou store to buy things, and it just so happened that the two people arrived at the store before them.

In the following days, they often glimpsed travelers rushing around in the city.

"It's good to be young. You won't get tired even if you run up and down all day long." Qiu Liuyun withdrew his gaze from the passing traveler, raised the bowl and took a sip of wine.

"Unlike us, we are all old guys who have lived for thousands of years and can't stand such hardship." Su Yunyan continued, imitating his tone.

"Stop, stop, stop. How can you, a young girl, be so lifeless!" Qiu Liuyun said.

Su Yunyan just immersed herself in showing off her fermented rice dumplings, with an attitude of "not wanting to listen to anything the turtle is saying".

Huang Guxuan was sleeping in his residence, and Ling Xiao stayed with him. Helan Liuying had recently become close to a clerk at Chunxiang Kiln, whose name seemed to be Ying'er, and they chatted very well.

Qiu Liuyun usually went to Sanwan Buguogang to drink and listen to storytelling, and to watch the blond boy at work. Su Yunyan insisted on following him because Qiu Liuyun didn't allow her to drink, so she often held a bowl of rice dumplings in her hand and acted funny.

They were originally waiting for the immortals to arrive at Liyue Harbor, but the immortal that arrived first was not the one they were waiting for, but the auspicious beast Qilin.
