Childe spreads rumors, Muyang is in mortal danger?

Regarding Ying's attitude, Childe didn't get angry.

"Hey, I'm a Fatui Executive, don't be so dismissive."

"I'm not a bad guy..."

"Uh, I'm probably a bad guy, but I'm not here to cause trouble for you."

As Childe said these words, he didn't have the condescending air of La Signora at all.

Instead, he was a bit cute.

I'm not called 'Hey', I'm called Chu Yuxian.

I'm not a bad guy, I'm probably a bad guy.

You know, he's actually quite cute.

MiHoYo really knows how to play us.

Guinaifen listened to Childe's statement.

"Does miHoYo just like creating contrasts?"

Childe gestured for Ying to sit down so they could talk properly.

Seeing that the other party indeed had no ill intentions, Ying retracted her combat stance and sat back down on the sofa in the private room.

Her main reason for coming here was to inquire about Mu Yang's situation.

Ying stated directly, "If you want to talk, tell me first."

"What happened to the person who stopped you just now?"

Childe didn't tell Ying the truth.

"Oh, you mean that guy? I'm not too sure. I ran off after you guys left."

"There were quite a few Millelith at the scene, so that guy should have been able to escape too."

Hearing this answer, Ying became a little worried.

Childe analyzed Ying's expression and asked her, "Is he your friend?"

Seeing Ying nod, Childe continued, "If you're friends, then you should definitely listen to me."

Childe started from the beginning. He had heard about Ying's exploits in Mondstadt, so he paid more attention to her during the Rite of Ascension. He knew that Ying hadn't done anything suspicious and that someone else intended to harm Rex Lapis. That's why he stepped in to help Ying, but he hadn't expected their friend to misunderstand.

"After all, our Fatui's reputation isn't very good, so it's normal for people to misunderstand."

"However, this friend of yours is quite extraordinary."

Ying eagerly asked him what he meant by that.

"Have you heard of the 'Yakshas'?"

"'Yakshas'?"

Ying had heard of them from Paimon. It seemed there was a group of powerful Immortals in Liyue, but this was the first time she had heard this specific title.

"Head out of the city and go north. West of Pervases's ruins, there is a stone forest named 'Jueyun Karst'."

"The people of Liyue believe that's where an Immortal's abode is."

Paimon looked at him, confused.

"What does this have to do with Mu Yang?"

Childe crossed his arms.

"Your friend is an Immortal."

Childe showed Lumine the intelligence La Signora had gathered about Mu Yang.

Proof that Mu Yang was an Immortal.

Lumine questioned Childe.

"Even if Mu Yang really is an Immortal, so what?"

"What does that have to do with our current situation?"

Childe analyzed the situation for Lumine.

From the current situation, it could be confirmed that neither the Fatui nor Lumine were the murderers of Rex Lapis.

But the Liyue Qixing clearly didn't think so.

The Fatui had a bad reputation. As a Fatui Executive, Childe was naturally the primary suspect.

And Lumine had just escaped the scene and been discovered. She was likely already wanted by now.

The Qixing wouldn't listen to their explanations.

Childe continued.

"The Qixing dispatched the Millelith to search for the assassin among the ceremony attendees."

"But can a mortal assassinate that God of War who swept through armies?"

"Rex Lapis never abandoned his divine power."

His meaning was clear. Ningguang, the Tianquan Star and one of the Qixing, was extremely skillful. Such a crude response clearly didn't meet her standards.

Lumine understood Childe's implied meaning.

"You mean the Qixing are the real culprits, and they want to frame someone else."

"So we've become scapegoats to cover up the real killer?"

Paimon was shocked.

"How could that happen?!"

Childe did not confirm Lumine's guess.

Nor did he deny it. Instead, he continued.

"Liyue was built by the Geo Archon and the Immortals together."

"The Immortals wouldn't stand idly by at the Archon's death."

"And..."

Childe hesitated.

Paimon: "And what?"

Childe: "Do you think the Qixing would allow your Immortal friend to investigate the scene?"

"My suggestion is to go to Jueyun Karst as soon as possible to find other Immortals for help."

"Bring them the information that hasn't been distorted."

"If you're too late, I'm afraid..."

Lumine believed in Mu Yang's strength.

But they were in the open while the enemy was hidden. If the Qixing used the Immortals' trust in Liyue to play dirty, Mu Yang would be overwhelmed. It was indeed quite dangerous.

She was a little worried that Mu Yang might get into trouble.

As the saying goes, worry can cloud one's judgment.

Lumine stood up and was about to rush to Jueyun Karst.

Childe told her to wait.

To let the person finish speaking first.

He then took out a talisman.

Lumine took it and looked, "What is this?"

"A kind of 'token',"

Childe said.

"From the looks of you, you probably don't know any other Immortals besides Mu Yang."

"With this token, the Immortals won't harm you."

"And they will listen to you finish speaking."

Lumine took the token.

She didn't dare to delay for a moment.

She left Northland Bank immediately.

And rushed towards Jueyun Karst.

Childe let out a small sigh of relief.

Mu Yang's appearance had indeed exceeded his expectations.

But fortunately, he had managed to get the plan back on track.

Liyue needed to liven up.

That would make it easier to get things done.

As for Mu Yang.

After leaving the Jade Chamber, he headed towards Mount Aocang.

He was now hidden, sitting on the mountaintop.

Staring blankly at the table on the platform.

He had met Cloud Retainer and the others here.

Through Cloud Retainer's introduction, he met Guizhong and the others.

After that, this group of friends often gathered here for small get-togethers.

How lively it was back then.

They would taste delicious food here.

Exchange stories from their travels.

Appreciate music.

And have all sorts of interesting competitions.

"Charge, Lingyuan!"

"Don't treat people like mounts!"

"I'm reporting! Cloud Retainer is cheating with mechanisms!"

"The mechanisms were made by me personally during the competition, so how can it be considered cheating?"

"It's too embarrassing, Cloud Retainer, to use mechanics for such a small competition."

"Guizhong, you tell me, how many acceleration talismans are you hiding in your sleeve?"

All these memories.

Why were they so vivid?

It was as if they were right before his eyes...

Mu Yang reached out his hand.

He wanted to grasp these illusions.

But he couldn't grasp anything.

When he came back to his senses.

He realized his eyes felt a little sore.

He had been lost in thought just now.

He hadn't even noticed his own tears...

The system gently reminded him.

"Hurry and tidy up, Lumine will be here soon."

Mu Yang snapped his fingers.

He let the cold air wash over him.

He needed to calm his mind.

Sigh, before the simulation...

Mount Aocang had been nothing more than a mountain where that woman lived and he could fish.

Mu Yang stood up and saw Lumine's figure.

After she walked closer to the table, With a light touch, like a dragonfly skimming water, She landed not far from him.

"How did you guys end up here?"

Lumine heard the familiar voice.

She turned around.

"Mu Yang?!"

She rushed to Mu Yang's side.

Wanting to give him a hug.

But she ultimately held back.

It seemed they weren't at that level of intimacy yet.

She took Mu Yang's hand.

And asked him with concern if he was injured.

How did he escape?

Had the Liyue Qixing troubled him?

Guinaifen watched Ying's little expression.

She couldn't help herself.

"Look how worried our Ying is."

"That expression, yo yo yo, don't like him too much, okay?"

[Feels like Traveler's move was to hug Mu Yang]

[Indeed, you can tell she suddenly stopped herself]

[Holding hands is fine too, rounding up, we're already married to Mu Yang]

[I don't see you rounding up anything]

[It's all rounding in, just go for it]

[So happy together!]

[The official content is making fanfiction redundant, this level of distance is perfectly captured]

Mu Yang saw Lumine's anxious reaction.

He guessed that Childe had been spreading rumors.

Exaggerating the parts about Mu Yang severely.

I didn't expect this Childe to hold such a grudge.

It was just one sentence saying the last seat wasn't qualified.

Does he really have to make me sound this weak?

The Liyue Qixing could actually catch me?
