Genshin Impact: I, who only wanted to play badly, have become famous

"Master Hu, you are back."

Lao Meng, the waiter at the "Wangsheng Hall", hurried over to Hu Tao and handed a stack of talismans into her hands.

Hu Tao was stunned for a moment: "Have you been studying spells recently? But these are the work of exorcists, Chongyun's job, we don't have this kind of business in the "Wangsheng Hall"."

Lao Meng shook his head and said, "You misunderstood. The talisman in your hand was what I asked for from Taoist Chongyun. Something happened in Liyue Harbor this morning when you were away."

Hu Tao opened her eyes wide: "I was gone for only one morning, and something happened in Liyue Harbor. This is too coincidental. It seems that Liyue Harbor really can't do without me."

Lao Meng sighed helplessly: "Now the whole Liyue Harbor is in a panic. The Thousand Rock Army has come down in batches to appease the people, but it's all in vain. Everyone believes it to be true."

Hu Tao shook the talisman paper in his hand and said, "What on earth could have affected so many people? It looks like... it has something to do with ghosts or monsters."

Lao Meng then told Hu Tao everything that happened in the morning. After listening carefully, Hu Tao looked at the talisman paper in his hand.

"So, Chongyun was here just now, right?"

Old Meng nodded and said, "Yes, Master Chongyun and Master Xingqiu from the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce came together, but since you were not here, they continued to go downstairs and distribute talismans door to door."

"Okay, I get it. What is Ke Qing busy with? Why can't I see him?"

"Mr. Zhongli went out early in the morning, saying he was going to have a cup of tea, and I haven't seen him since."

“Forget it!” Hu Tao waved her hands. “I’m going to go find Chongyun and Xingqiu first. You just stay here and look after the house.”

"Master! Master!" Lao Meng hurriedly called out, but failed to stop Hu Tao from running away.

Looking at the stack of talismans in his hand, Lao Meng hung his head helplessly: "There are so many talismans to be pasted on every corner of the "Wangsheng Hall". How can I finish it all by myself?"

At the same time, "Yujingtai"...

"How's the situation? Has everyone calmed down?" Keqing asked the patrolling Thousand Rocks Army.

The Qianyan Army showed embarrassed expressions. "Lord Keqing, we can't control it anymore. Even if we just calmed them down, it won't be long before everyone starts to panic again. Rumors are spreading everywhere, and there are more and more versions. We can't control it anymore."

Keqing frowned and held her chin. "It seems that this is the fear deep in the hearts of the people of Liyue Harbor. Simply comforting them will not have much effect. We must try to get to the root of the problem."

The Qianyan Army quickly responded: "Our brothers in the Qianyan Army have investigated every place mentioned by the people. Some places have not shown any clues, but some places... are indeed a bit strange."

Keqing immediately asked, "Oh? How do you mean?"

"For example, the stone lion buried in the river. After investigation, it is indeed only in the lower reaches that this shape exists. But how could the stone lion from the lower reaches come to the upper reaches? If it was not moved by humans, it is indeed a bit strange."

"Then do you think it was moved by humans?"

"That stone lion seemed to have appeared there overnight. If it was moved by humans, it would have taken at least ten people several hours to move it. It is impossible for it to suddenly appear there without any warning."

After hearing these explanations, Keqing also felt a little strange: "What you said makes sense. In this case, it is actually a bit strange..."

"And then there were the phoenixes that only children could see, the hens that suddenly turned into roosters, the red lights and green candles, the paper men and straw horses carrying the sedan chair, and the blood in the well. For a moment, there really was no reasonable explanation."

"The exorcist Chongyun has been walking the streets of Liyue Harbor for a long time. We didn't stop him. At this time, he is distributing talismans to the people, which can at least make the people feel more at ease and provide psychological comfort."

Keqing sighed, "But this is only a temporary solution. With so many supernatural events happening, exorcising evil spirits is only a stopgap measure."

"If we don't quickly find out the real reason behind this, everyone in Liyue Harbor will continue to live in fear, which will greatly affect their lives and production, and is definitely not a good thing."

A Qianyan soldier suggested: "Master Keqing, at this time, why don't you go find Mr. Zhongli from the "Wangsheng Hall" or go find Young Hero Ye Luo."

Keqing pondered for a moment: "Mr. Zhongli? Young Master Ye Luo?"

"Mr. Zhongli is well-informed and knows everything. Maybe he can figure out the reason behind this."

"And Young Master Ye Luo, no matter what the incident is, he can always solve it in the end. Maybe he has a solution this time."

Keqing nodded. "That makes sense. You split up. One group goes to find Mr. Zhongli, and the other group goes to find Young Master Ye Luo. It would be even better if they were together. After you find them, invite them directly to Yujing Terrace. I will wait here without leaving."

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the Qianyan Army formed a neat line and headed towards the streets of Liyue Harbor.

At the same time, in the "Qun Yu Pavilion"...

Ningguang took the latest information about Liyue Harbor from Baiwen, her face full of worry, and she sighed.

Bai Shi pushed a cup of hot tea in front of her: "Lord Ningguang, the Qianyan Army is already investigating with all its strength, don't worry too much..."

Bai Xiao also echoed: "Everyone in "Yujingtai" and "Yuehaiting" is busy. On the one hand, they are calming the panic of the masses, and on the other hand, they are thoroughly investigating these supernatural events. I believe that good news will be reported soon."

"Even though that's what I said, how can I not be worried? Liyue was originally established by the Geo King and the immortals, with the help of humans. Now that we have lost the Geo King's blessing and the immortals' attention, such absurd things happen frequently."

Ningguang blamed herself and said, “As one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, I have failed in my duty…”

The three secretaries said quickly, "Lord Ningguang, please don't say that. You have worked hard for so many years to bring prosperity and long-term peace to Liyue Harbor. We cannot deny your efforts just because of a little incident that suddenly appeared."

Ningguang had drooped eyelids and looked quite tired. She picked up the teacup and suddenly remembered something.

"Ye Luo... do you know about this?"

"We don't know about this either. I heard that Young Master Ye Luo has rarely returned to Liyue Harbor in recent days and has been returning to his original breeding ground."

“I see…” Ningguang thought.
