If I didn't do it, why would I run?

Paimon scratched his head, looking completely bewildered.

"It's not that complicated, actually."

At this moment Mimi whispered to Paimon, "Actually, my partner is a really good older brother and a sister-obsessed brother~ He used to spoil his sister rotten."

"Oh! So it's the tsundere older brother persona."

"What? You're still like this?"

At this moment, Paimon looked at Mo Wang with a sudden realization, a mocking smile on his face.

"Hmm, my standards for being a siscon are quite high. First of all, my sister has to be extremely cute."

"If my lovely Paimon is to be my little sister, I wouldn't mind being a good older brother and taking care of you."

At this moment, Mo Wang revealed a bright smile and lifted Paimon's little head with his finger.

"Huh?! Huh?!"

"This, this is too..."

Paimon blushed instantly when he saw Mo Wang's face.

"Being your sister or something, well, it's not impossible."

"Although you can be quite... well..."

"Hahaha! Paimon, why are you blushing?"

"Forget it, you should just be my personal guide. The little sister type role doesn't seem to suit you at all."

Seeing Paimon's conflicted expression, Mo Wang couldn't help but laugh.

"What?! You're so mean! How am I not like a little sister type?!"

Paimon puffed out her cheeks in anger, but then she couldn't help but look at Mimi beside her. "Um, Mimi, do I really not look like a younger sister? I think we get along quite well when we're together, right?"

"Hoo hoo~ I think what 'partner' means is to be his good friend, right? But being his little sister or something like that really feels a bit far off."

Mimi couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at Paimon.

Although Mo Wang said he wouldn't participate in the Rite of Descension, Mo Wang was still very honest and brought Paimon and Mimi to the high platform.

Cough cough cough, he certainly wasn't there to see the retirement ceremony of the Millennium- old Deng, or to see if he could get some Dragon Meat to eat.

Yeah, it's just to keep my two female friends company, nothing else.

"Wow, there are so many people! Are they all here to witness the Rite of Descension?"

Upon reaching the high platform, Paimon and Mimi were immediately dumbfounded.

The place was packed with people; people were everywhere.

This scene evokes a feeling reminiscent of when Mo Wang used to visit tourist attractions during holidays.

"It's obvious. After all, you have to understand that Liyue is a country of merchants, and there's no shortage of people here who are after money."

While complaining, Mo Wang pulled out a Liyue sightseeing guide from who-knows-where.

It clearly records all the tourist attractions and food in Liyue.

Clearly, he has lost all interest in what's to come here.

"What is this guy?"

Seeing that Mo Wang was starting to care about other things again, Paimon's eyebrows twitched.

On another note, shouldn't the foodie persona be hers?! Why is it that right now, Mo Wang seems to be the one researching food all the time?

"Emmmm~ Maybe it's because my partner is really craving the food here?"

At this moment, Mimi blinked and then said to Paimon.

Paimon pouted, arms crossed, looking like she didn't want to pay Mo Wang. Her little feet kicked in the air in dissatisfaction as she muttered, "Hmph! This idiot! The Rite of Descension is about to begin, and he's still looking at some travel guide!"

Mimi blinked, then suddenly flashed a mischievous smile. She gently patted Paimon's shoulder, pointed at herself with her paw, and said playfully, "Watch this!"

After saying that, Mimi floated up to Mo Wang and deliberately shouted in an exaggerated tone, "Partner! Look, look! There's a beautiful girl! Over there!"

However, Mo Wang simply gave an "Oh" without looking up, her fingers still flipping through the pages of the travel guide, muttering to herself, "Hmm... the boiled fish at Wanmin Restaurant seems to have good reviews..."

Mimi and Paimon exchanged a glance, both seeing complete shock in each other's eyes— Mo Wang actually had no reaction to the keyword "beautiful girl"?! It was even more unbelievable than Paimon suddenly disliking meat and switching to a vegetarian diet.

Unwilling to give up, Mimi moved even closer. This time, she raised her stakes, shouting in a seductive tone, "Partner! It's a white-haired beauty! A super rare white-haired one!"

"Smack!"

Mo Wang dropped the travel guide from his hand. He jerked his head up, his eyes widening as he scanned his surroundings like a radar. "Where? Where?! Where's the white-haired beauty?!"

Paimon and Mimi both covered their foreheads and let out a long sigh.

Paimon couldn't help but mutter, "As expected... this guy's XP system has been completely exposed..."

(Aren't you a white-haired beauty too?)

Just then, Mo Wang's gaze fixed on the center of the stands. A white-haired woman dressed in luxurious attire stood there gracefully, her Amber eyes as dazzling as the morning sun, exuding an air of nobility and composure with every gesture. Holding a pipe, the moment she slightly raised her eyes, it seemed as if even the surrounding air froze.

—The Ningguang, Tianquan Star, is currently standing at the center of the Rite of Descension.

"Speaking of which, who is that woman? She looks so elegant."

Seeing Mo Wang standing there in a daze, Paimon and Mimi couldn't help but look up at Ningguang.

Although I don't know who the other person is, the noble air about them is just like that of the legendary empress.

"That is Ningguang, Tianquan Star, one of the Liyue Qixing who manage Liyue. She mainly manages Liyue's commerce. The Rite of Descension is currently managed by her and Yuheng Star."

At that moment, a magnetic voice began to explain to Paimon and Mimi.

"Oh! I see! You sound like a very important person, like Qin. But by the way, who are you?"

At this moment, Paimon and Mimi both turned around and looked at the two men standing next to the three of them.

These two handsome men, both over 1.8 meters tall, are hard to miss when they're standing in a crowd.

Only Mo Wang, looking at the two people beside him, had his eyebrows twitching incessantly.

"Greetings, gentlemen. I am Zhongli, a guest elder of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. This is my friend, named Childe. We have come here specifically to observe the Rite of Descension."

Zhongli then spoke to the group in a gentle and refined manner.

Meanwhile, Mo Wang had already started mentally ranting and raving.

Hey Old Deng, what's the point of you being here? Shouldn't it be your turn to kick the bucket soon? With you here, how's the scene going to play out when you're about to die?

Or do you have a strange hobby of watching yourself die?

Mo Wang's gaze at this moment was indescribably eerie.

And what is this Childe master doing here?

Surely, the Emperor must have some serious illness to do this?

Looking at the two of them, Mo Wang suddenly felt an urge to turn around and leave.

Could these two have already set their sights on him?

Chapter 350 If I didn't do it, why should I run away?

"Oh no! They're coming for me!"

At this moment, Mo Wang looked at Zhongli and the Childe in front of him with three parts disdain, three parts anger, three parts disgust, one part something was wrong, and ninety parts wanting to cause trouble.

There was no way around it; looking at these two, Mo Wang's mind was filled with a bunch of crazy ideas.

"Strange, why do you look at us with such a subtle gaze, young friend? Could it be that you know us?"

At this moment, Zhongli gazed at Mo Wang, his eyes revealing a hint of contemplation.

Of course, Zhongli had already recognized Mo Wang by this time.

He naturally recognized Mo Wang- Wu.

You could even say that he came specifically to see Mo Wang.

What? Surely no one really thinks it's such a coincidence?

Venti had just said that Zhongli was about to start the Rite of Descension.

The moment the blond-haired guy arrived, the Emperor's death took place?

Who would believe that Zhongli, that old man, didn't scheme against Huang Mao?

This old schemer who's lived for Millennium claims to be honest and kind? I bet the Archon who were tricked by him back then would cry themselves to death.

It's clear from the original plot that Zhongli, that old scoundrel, has ulterior motives. The entire storyline was written exactly according to his script.

He orchestrated a grand scheme to outmaneuver the Fatui, defeating his old rival, the Abyssal Lord, and uniting humanity, thus smoothly completing his retirement. From being the most diligent of the Seven Archons, he became the laid-back Old Man, beginning his retirement.

She even managed to throw away the Gnosis, which was not important to begin with, indirectly helping the Cryo Archon complete his plan without getting anything for herself.

Venti ended up having to put on a show, getting beaten up by the La Signora, and ultimately losing all her class.

Zhongli remained completely unperturbed throughout, not even the hem of his clothes got slightly dirty.

Tell me, who can I reason with about this?

"No, I was just wondering what Old Deng and a Fatui's Harbinger were doing here."

"I'll just run away later."

At this moment, Mo Wang looked at Zhongli and the Childe without changing his expression and said.

Mo Wang: (*￣￣)

Zhongli: (⊙?⊙)

Childe: (￣△￣;)

"Hey brother, what are you saying? It makes us sound like some kind of weirdo."

"Also, how did you know I was Harbinger of the Fatui?"

The Childe was astonished. He hadn't said anything, so how could the other person have seen through him so easily? Was this person really that amazing?

"That's normal. After all, I just beat up a weird woman named ' La Signora' in Mondstadt."

"I think the only person who would be an executive of the Fools and be Snezhnaya with such a Fatui name is Harbinger of the Fools."

Mo Wang was now criticizing the Childe without any restraint, and to be honest, Tartaglia looked a little embarrassed when she heard this.

"This... 'Childe ' is just a code name, not my real name..."

"Oh, they're all the same. They all sound stupid. What kind of person would use such a stupid code name? Don't you guys have any self-awareness?"

"Besides, you're most likely here for the Gnosis, right? Tell me first, are you planning to directly attack the Geo Archon this time?"

"If that's the case, my personal advice is that you should stab him in the back right now, and while you're at it, see if there's a place around where you can bury yourself."

"However, I think burying them in Liyue is probably not a good idea. After all, the Geo Archon Cultists here know what you're up to. Even if you're buried in the Chasm, they'll probably dig up your bodies and destroy the evidence."

Mo Wang's speech at this moment was like a machine gun, just spewing out in rapid succession.

Whether Zhongli and the Childe understood or not, they all had the same reaction—this guy's mouth is really sharp.

"Now I understand why that La Signora ran away as soon as she heard you were coming. So you're such a difficult person to deal with."

The Childe was feeling a bit of a headache.

I had originally planned to come and see what kind of person this guy, whom that La Signora rated as the one she least wanted to mess with, really was.

Before I could even feel their strength, I almost got my defenses broken by their words.

How can I deal with this kind of person?

However, at this moment, Mo Wang's attention was obviously not on Tartaglia, a character who was supposed to be an Up banner character but had actually been relegated to the regular banner.

At that moment, all he could think about was what kind of monster the dragon that was about to fall from the sky was.

It is known that Grandpa Zhongli is currently watching a play here.

A dragon will suddenly fall from the sky in a moment.

And this dragon is real, not some strange prop.

Although there was no such thing as the Gnosis inside, Mo Wang wondered where Grandpa Zhongli had found this dragon.
