[Holy crap, that's so true!]
Yeah, then why did it take so long to search?
【You ask me? 】
[Holy crap... if Qiu Nian hadn't brought this up, I wouldn't have realized it until now.]
[lol, the brains of everyone in the live stream combined can't compare to Qiu Nian's]
My mind is itching; I need to get my brain working.
[The blond hair and emergency food are hilarious. I bet if Qiu Nian hadn't told them, they wouldn't even realize it now.]
"yes..."
"Then why should we even bother looking for it?"
When Xuehua heard Qiu Nian's analysis, her brain went into a brief standby state.
Qiu Nian looked at Ying and Paimon, who were staring blankly at each other, and couldn't help but smile.
"It seems you haven't realized this."
"There's no point in us continuing the search now."
"Why don't we just go find that young master of the Fools' Order, whom you mentioned?"
Hearing what Qiu Nian said, Ying and Paimeng nodded in agreement.
But... what were they searching for all this time for?
We just went home empty-handed like that?
However, their mission was already accomplished: to clear their names.
As for the "one" that the True Lords mentioned, they have already tried very hard to find him.
Although we couldn't find it, there's nothing we can do about it.
After all, as Qiu Nian said, even if you really find it, so what?
"Let's go find the young master."
"But are you going with me on the 20th of the Autumn Festival?"
Paimon glanced at Ying beside him, then at Qiu Nian in front of him, and asked.
"I want to take this opportunity."
"Let's go see what Liyue will become without the Emperor."
Qiu Nian nodded slightly.
After saying that, the three of them set off for Liyue Harbor.
Upon arriving at Liyue Harbor, Qiu Nian observed the reactions of the passersby.
Most of the Liyue residents looked dejected.
It was as if he could no longer laugh.
However, some people in Liyue are not so pessimistic.
Because they always believed that the emperor had not perished.
This was quite different from the scene when he came to Liyue Harbor to buy furniture before.
But this is normal.
Following behind Ying and Paimon, the three of them soon arrived at the Northern Bank.
At that moment, standing at the bank entrance was a man with brownish-yellow hair and dull eyes.
A tall, handsome man dressed in gray.
The belt also has a water-attribute God's Eye fastened to it.
"You're finally back. How was your trip to Jueyun Pass?"
"And... who is this gentleman?"
Prince D'Artagnan looked at Ying and Paimon's side with Qiu Nian and felt somewhat puzzled.
"His name is Qiu Nian."
Ying looked at Qiu Nian beside her and introduced her to the young master.
"Here's the thing."
In the following time, Ying and Paimeng recounted their encounters with several True Lords and Qiu Nian's story to the young master.
"...I see."
"The True Lord Who Carves the Moon and Builds the Sun, the True Lord Who Manages Water and Stacks Mountains, the True Lord Who Retains Clouds and Borrows Wind, the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons..."
"And...that one..."
The young master crossed his arms over his chest, and his brow furrowed slightly as he finished speaking.
They didn't seem to understand what that being was.
In the eyes of these immortals, it was actually possible to assassinate the Rock God.
"Hmm, some of these names haven't appeared in the information held by the Fatui."
"But who exactly is that person?"
D'Artagnan rested his chin on one hand, looking quite curious.
"Well... let's not talk about that for now. Just like what Mr. Qiu Nian said."
Even if we find him, there's nothing we can do about it.
After thinking for a moment, D'Artagnan shook his head.
However... he really wanted to see what that was like in the eyes of an immortal.
The one who possesses the strength to assassinate the Rock God.
"As a return gift, I also have some information to provide you."
"The Liyue Septate's reaction to the death of the deity is quite intriguing..."
"They publicly stated that since the real culprit has not yet been found, no one is allowed to pay homage to the ancestral remains."
"They even tried to block the news...but after all, the Immortal Invitation Ceremony is a busy affair, and even the Seven Stars can hardly stop the rumors."
D'Artagnan looked at the three people in front of him and began to speak.
"The Divine Transformation of the Immortal Ancestor?"
Paimon was somewhat puzzled.
"According to common knowledge in Liyue, the Geo Archon is also a celestial being."
"The Rock God is the God of Contracts, and is also known as the Ancestor of All Immortals."
"All the Three-Eyed Immortals of today made a pact to protect Liyue back then."
The young master looked at Paimon, who was looking puzzled, and waved his hand to explain.
"That's it..."
"No wonder they care so much about Liyue."
Paimon nodded upon hearing this.
"That's right, they have both the responsibility and the right to do so."
"If the seven stars that govern Liyue encounter problems, they will have the right to demand an explanation."
"Why was the body left behind by the Rock God's soul as it ascended to the heavens hidden by the Seven Stars?"
"Highly suspicious..."
Dadalia crossed her arms over her chest, looking quite surprised.
"This is also a big problem for me."
"I cannot accept this approach either."
Ying frowned upon hearing this.
Her goal was to find the Geo Archon, and she found it.
But it was a fallen Rock God.
And now she's wanted by the police, so where can she go to seek justice?
"The body of the Geo Archon has been hidden by the Seven Stars."
"That's certainly strange... Why would Seven Stars do this..."
Qiu Nian rested one hand on her chin, feigning a puzzled expression.
Why would the Seven Stars do this? Of course, it's because of the Fools.
“That’s exactly what I’m confused about.”
D'Artagnan nodded.
"We came here to find that deity."
"If the Seven Stars of Liyue hide the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Body and prevent anyone from getting close..."
"The traveler's goal of finding all seven gods will be completely dashed!"
Paimon looked at D'Artagnan in front of him and realized the seriousness of the problem.
Chapter 8: D'Artagnan's Attempt to Test Qiu Nian
"Are you searching for the Seven Gods?"
"What is it for?"
D'Artagnan was very curious when she heard this.
