Gradually, the surrounding environment became noisy.

Before they knew it, a storytelling voice came from above the three people's heads.

Qianyu looked up and saw that the building not far away was already crowded with people.

"How about we two go and join in the fun?" Noticing Qianyu's gaze, Guizhong suggested with a smile.

"Well, that's fine."

Upon hearing this, Qianyu and Zhongli both agreed, and everyone slowly came to the second floor of Xinyuexuan.

The storyteller was seen holding a fan in one hand and placing the other hand solemnly in front of him.

Then he tapped the table with the folding fan in his hand, making a crisp sound.

"Thank you all for your support."

"The story we are going to tell today is about an event during the Liyue Demon War..."

Hearing this, Zhongli narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought. Qianyu watched the storyteller's performance with great interest, smiling from time to time.

"At that time, Liyue was still a desolate land, and the demons fought each other for territory and resources."

"One of the most powerful demons is Osel, known as the 'Demon of the Whirlpool'. It is huge and its power is unfathomable. Wherever it passes, it turns into ruins..."

As the storyteller spoke, he gestured with his hands to indicate the size of Osel.

"The other party's shout can bring endless waves, and at this critical moment, I saw the Rock King Emperor leading the immortals to resolutely declare war on the demon god..."

As the storyteller closed his fan, thunderous applause broke out all around.

"It feels like these things happened just yesterday." Gui couldn't help but sigh after hearing the story.

Meanwhile, Zhongli rested his hands on his chin, staring deeply at the tea on the table, as if he was lost in thought. He frowned slightly, as if he was struggling with something important deep in his heart.

“That’s true. The original Liyue was supported by all the immortals together, but now this contract has become outdated…” Zhongli’s voice was low and calm, but it revealed a hint of helplessness and regret.

Over the past century, the world has changed dramatically. The torrent of time has mercilessly washed away everything. Even something as solid as a rock will eventually be unable to withstand the erosion of time and gradually return to dust...

"In fact, since the beginning of the world, the fate of life has always been in their hands." Zhongli continued, his eyes looking into the distance, as if returning to that distant past.

"Whether it's humans or demons, they have been constantly updating and evolving over the past hundred years."

"Dikarapian, I have an unreasonable request. I wonder if you can agree to it." Zhongli suddenly raised his head and looked at Qianyu in front of him with a serious look.

Then he cast a spell to isolate them from the noisy environment and create a quiet space.

"Oh? This is the first time I see you look so serious, Morax."

"In fact, I have been thinking about one thing for a long time. In today's Liyue, has the era of immortals gone, and has the era of human rule arrived?"

Zhongli said this solemnly, his deep eyes flickering with complex light.

"Therefore, I made a contract with the Fatui's executive officer, a test for the Seven Stars of Liyue, and even the entire Liyue."

“Go and create a Liyue with your own hands, a Liyue without Morax…”

Zhongli's voice echoed in the air, as if carrying an indescribable sense of heaviness.

Gui Zhong listened to Zhongli's words and a trace of worry that was hard to conceal appeared on his face.

"But Morax, are you sure you want to do this? Once the decision is made, the immortals of Liyue, the Seven Stars, and even the entire Thousand Rock Army will be facing a high-ranking demon god from ancient times."

Her voice trembled slightly and she seemed very uneasy about the decision.

Zhongli nodded slightly, indicating that he understood Guizhong's concerns.

However, his gaze remained as firm as a rock.

"Indeed, it is too risky to do so, but that is why the test becomes more valuable."

"So I hope you can help Liyue again, Mr. Qianyu." Zhongli suddenly changed his words.

"oh, I understand now."

"Don't worry, your retirement plan will be fine," Qianyu thought.

Hearing Qianyu's answer, Zhongli smiled, and Guizhong seemed to have made up her mind. She decided to stand by Liyue.

"Haha, thank you all again for your enthusiasm. While there is still time, I will tell you one more story--" The storyteller deliberately dragged out his voice to attract the interest and curiosity of the audience.

"The story of an immortal who fought alongside Morax a hundred years ago - Master Zhufeng Jiushi!" he announced in a passionate tone.

Hearing this name, everyone present couldn't help but show a hint of excitement.

After all, among the people of Liyue, the legend about this immortal has been circulating for a long time, but due to some objective reasons, no one has been able to witness his charm with their own eyes.

As a result, people are full of various speculations and imaginations about the image and experience of this immortal.

However, among the many versions of the legend, the storyteller's story is undoubtedly the most influential. With his superb eloquence and vivid description, he conveyed the legendary story of Zhufeng Jiushi Zhenjun to every listener.

At this moment, Zhongli and Guizhong looked at Qianyu at the same time, with a barely perceptible smile on their lips.

"What are you laughing at?" Qianyu keenly captured the changes in their expressions and pointed out the problem directly.

"Ahem... Nothing, I just suddenly remembered that Hall Master Hu will settle this month's wages tomorrow." Gui Zhong explained guiltily, trying to hide his smile.

"Indeed." Zhongli also agreed.

Hearing this, Qianyu just felt embarrassed.

"Legend has it that in ancient times, the world was in chaos. At that time, Prince Yan had just established Liyue with the Liyue Immortals. Suddenly, a dragon roar was heard across the sky, and a fierce battle began..."

"The immortals of Liyue were helpless in the face of the powerful demon god Chi. Even the Rock King could only fight back and forth with him."

"And at this moment, the sky suddenly changed, a strong wind swept through the surroundings, and an unknown immortal descended into Liyue..."

"And just like that, this immortal fought together with the Rock King Emperor and successfully repelled the Chi."

"In the end, Chi's bones were buried deep in Qingce Manor, and this mysterious immortal came with the wind and left with the wind..."

As the storyteller told the story, the audience was immersed in it, imagining the thrilling battle. However, Zhongli noticed three figures downstairs in Xinyuexuan.

The three people were the travelers Ying, Paimon, and Fulin. At this moment, they were asking the local residents for information about the ceremony of summoning the immortals...
