Chapter 172: Keqing confronts Xiao, Ningguang: Your Majesty, you really made me look for you~.
“It seems that it should be our illusion…”
Just as Keqing and Ningguang frowned and turned around.
The next second when they were about to return to the mansion to handle official business…
A green whirlwind suddenly appeared about ten meters away from them.
Then, Xiao’s figure appeared from it.
And he uttered a cold word.
“That’s not your illusion. I’m the one who called you out.”
Looking at the sound, they saw a handsome young man with short dark green hair, a green roc tattoo on his right arm, and an evil ghost Nuo mask hanging on his waist, looking at them with his arms folded.
The amber golden pupils were filled with indifference as he said, “I ask you, is there any connection between the Emperor’s death and the Liyue Seven Stars?”
To be honest, the death of the Rock King Emperor was really too abrupt.
It’s hard not to suspect the Liyue Seven Stars of this matter…
You know, before this, the Rock King Emperor was alive and well.
It wasn’t until the day of the invitation ceremony that everyone knew the news that the Rock King Emperor had passed away…
Such an abrupt situation, even the people of Liyue would occasionally suspect the Liyue Seven Stars.
In this regard, not to mention Xiao, who is one of the three-eyed five-manifested immortals…
“Of course there is no connection!” ×2
Hearing this, Keqing and Ningguang refuted in unison.
No matter what, they still have great respect for the Geo King.
How could they betray each other?
You know, in Liyue, almost all Liyue people are fans of the Geo King.
This is not much different from the fact that all the members of the Knights of the Round Table in the Moon Realm are fans of Aho-ge.
It’s just that there are twisted and non-twisted…
Extreme and non-extreme…
“Do you think I will believe it?”
In response to Keqing and Ningguang’s answers, Xiao just shook his head indifferently, and continued to maintain his high-handed image and said: “Moreover, how can you prove that you have nothing to do with the death of the Geo King?”
Let alone…
It is possible that Keqing, the Yuheng Star among the Seven Stars of Liyue, colluded with others to kill the Geo King!
In Liyue…
Who doesn’t know Keqing’s name?
Her desire for the era of human rule alone…
is enough to make Xiao suspect that the cause of the death of the Geo King was her!
“Although I long for the arrival of the era of human rule…”
“But I also have respect for the Emperor in my heart!”
At this time, Keqing, who was standing next to Ningguang, also stepped forward decisively without changing her expression.She looked directly into Xiao’s eyes without any fear and said, “Under such circumstances, how could I collude with others to attack the Emperor!?”
As Keqing said before, the Emperor has protected Liyue for a thousand years, but will it be the same for the next thousand years, ten thousand years, or a hundred thousand years?
From this, it can be seen that she is not complaining about the Emperor’s ultimate power over the entire Liyue…
Instead, she is worried about the future of the people of Liyue!
Blindly relying on the gods without making progress…
This is undoubtedly very detrimental to the development of human history!
You know, she often buys the dragon-shaped figures of the Rock King Emperor in private…
This alone is enough to prove that she has no ill will towards the Rock King Emperor!
At most, she can be regarded as a child in a rebellious period.
Just dissatisfied with the discipline of the parent (Emperor of Rock)…
Although Zhongli, who is in the form of Rock God in the world, knows this…
But Xiao doesn’t know it!
In Xiao’s eyes, Yuhengxing Keqing has enough suspicions to collude with others to murder the emperor!
As for her words at this time…
In Xiao’s view, it is more like an excuse!
This greatly deepened her suspicion in Xiao’s mind…
To be honest, this is Keqing’s straightforward personality.
Rarely will she over-guess the inner thoughts of the person standing opposite her.
Otherwise, she would definitely twitch her lips and subconsciously complain: “Mmp, this is unreasonable!”
If Xiao knew that Keqing liked to secretly collect the figures of Geo King…
I guess his hostility towards her would not be as huge as it has been from the beginning to now.
Instead, it would become softer…
After all, there are no bad people who like the emperor like him!
Well…
Xiao is still very sure of this…
“Words are not enough…”
After hearing Keqing’s explanation, the coldness on Xiao’s face did not show any sign of dissipating.
Instead, it became even colder.
It’s chilling…
“How can you make me believe what you said before?”
“Then what evidence do you have to prove that we, the Seven Stars of Liyue, colluded with others to kill the Emperor!?”
Seeing Xiao being so arrogant and unreasonable, Keqing was also a little angry for a while and said, “Don’t you have any evidence to prove this!?”
“Then why dare you come here and question us!?” (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Although Keqing respects the immortals very much…
But after suffering such an unreasonableWhen the disaster of delusion came…
She would also fight back without hesitation!
If Xiao had evidence to prove that he or someone among the Liyue Seven Stars had colluded with other beings to murder the Emperor…
Then Keqing would definitely surrender without a word or cooperate with the other party to capture the Liyue Seven Stars! []
Whatever consequences there were afterwards, she would bear them all by herself!
But the Xiao in front of him obviously did not have such evidence.
Instead, he kept questioning whether she and Ningguang were the murderers of the Geo King Emperor…
To put it bluntly, if she, Ningguang, and the other Liyue Seven Stars could kill the Geo King Emperor with just a few people…
Then wouldn’t they be able to kill the demons who died at the hands of the Geo King?
How could they be so vigilant about the Fatui executives and the goddess behind them, the Ice Queen, when conducting diplomacy?
This is totally unreasonable!
Just as the atmosphere on the scene gradually reached a stalemate…
When the atmosphere between Keqing and Xiao became increasingly tense…
The elevator of the Jade Pavilion, which was originally unattended, suddenly started to move.
Soon, a black-haired nobleman wearing a Chinese-Western style black and gold jacket-style swallowtail gown and a black-haired handsome man who looked almost the same as him, or even better than him, were brought to the Jade Pavilion.
It was exposed to Xiao, Keqing, Ningguang and others.
It made everyone present brighten their eyes.
“Ms. Keqing, Ms. Ningguang, I have almost finished preparing for the Summoning Immortals Ceremony…”
Just when Zhong Li was about to report to Keqing and Ningguang, the two Liyue Seven Stars, about the preparations for the Summoning Immortals Ceremony.
Xiao, who was standing opposite Keqing and Ningguang, instantly attracted his attention.
It made his entire expression become a little subtle for a moment.
“Mr. Zhongli, you are here.”
Seeing this, Ningguang also hurriedly spoke up, breaking the awkward atmosphere between Keqing and Xiao.
All the attention of the two present was drawn to Zhongli.
It made him feel so embarrassed for a moment.
“I wonder, who is the person behind you…”
Seeing that Zhongli’s expression seemed a little subtle, Ningguang also took the opportunity to pull Jiang Quan, who was standing behind him and ready to watch the show, into the conversation.
As if he wanted to divert the trouble to someone else, Jiang Quan, who was originally planning to watch a good show, twitched his lips instantly.
He thought to himself that Ningguang was indeed not going to let him go in the real world…
“Oh, I almost forgot to introduce you.”
Hearing this, Zhongli also quickly came back to his senses and wanted to use Jiang Quan to get rid of the multiple attentions on him.
Especially the Great Saint XiaoPay attention…
It is the most fatal to Zhongli!
But fortunately, he has never seen his current form and appearance.
Otherwise, he would have mistakenly thought that he was still alive.
And then disrupted his recent layout…
“This is my friend Jiang Quan. I met him on my way to visit you two.”
Zhongli said, and decisively pulled Jiang Quan who was standing behind him.
As if he intended to let him bear the gaze of everyone present for him, he said with a slight smile: “I just wanted to report the situation to you and leave, so I brought him up.”
“I hope you two don’t mind…”
Mind?
How could they mind…
You know, in the dream not long ago (the sixth Sims), their relationship with each other was extraordinary…
They could meet each other in this situation…
For Keqing and Ningguang, this was no less outrageous than picking up a huge sum of money in the corridor, and leading Liyue to prosperity with just a word!
Therefore, how could they mind Zhongli bringing people to the Jade Pavilion without permission?
Rather, they were very satisfied with Zhongli’s goodwill this time…
To be honest, this is because Zhongli himself is not interested in fame and fortune…
Otherwise, they would have arranged a position for him that is one of the best in Liyue!
Let him experience the joy of being an official…
(Zhongli: That’s not necessary!)
PS: Ah, it’s too painful…
For someone like me who is not good at memorizing maps, playing the Elden Ring is really painful, and I get lost all the time.
It’s really a painful group, x…factory.
