Chapter 112 As expected
Yujing Terrace, located at the highest point of Liyue Harbor, looks very suitable for communicating with the gods in heaven.
Paimon and the traveler Sora followed behind the man in black, and the three of them walked to the foot of the Xiantai. Since this might be a tourist attraction that some locals would not go to, it was not a large scene where thousands of residents would gather.
Paimeng suddenly suggested: "Kong, Mo Ran, why don't we go to the Qingxiantai to have a look! Maybe there is a way in there!"
Sora scratched his head, "That's fine, but won't we be stopped? Look, the people over there seem to be wearing costumes."
Paimeng heard this and looked over. There were indeed people wearing the same uniform, all of them wearing purple robes with a white background. They didn't look easy to approach.
Mo Ran said, "Let me take you there. Although I am just a businessman, I still have some face in the General Affairs Department. It shouldn't be difficult to go and see the Qingxiantai."
"Thank you, Mo Ran, you are so nice! Unlike in Mond, there was a businessman pointing at me and Kong and making sarcastic remarks. If someone hadn't stopped us at that time, I... Kong would have beaten him up!"
"Haha, birds of a feather flock together." Mo Ran smiled and led them, walking in the front just like he did in previous battles.
A Tianquan staff member spotted the three people and warned them, "Stop, the Seven Stars are calling the gods, any outsiders... Master Mo Ran? It turns out to be you, I was shortsighted just now and didn't see clearly, please come in!"
Mo Ran didn't say a word, and Paimeng and Kong saw the Tianquan aide slowly retreating, with surprise in their eyes, "Mo Ran, didn't you say you were just a businessman? How can you be so proud!"
Mo Ran folded his arms in front of him, "I just have a wide network of contacts. Someone in the Seven Stars is my old friend. I watched her grow up since she was a child, so it's normal for me to have this little power."
"Don't you want to see the Qingxiantai? Take a good look!"
Paimeng looked around the altar on the altar, but he didn't see anything special. He could only say angrily, "Why don't you put some treasures here when you invite the immortals?"
"Paimeng, there are gods above us. Everything you say and do will reach the ears of the Emperor."
Paimon was immediately frightened and kept silent, because she was afraid that she had said something bad about the gods and would be cursed to only be able to see cabbages in the treasure chest in the future.
"I'm just kidding. The Emperor is not that petty. As long as it doesn't concern Mora, he shouldn't mind. You don't have to worry." Mo Ran patted the little head and looked at the clear sky.
The meeting of the immortals was about to begin. Ningguang hurried to the vicinity of Yujingtai. She didn't look tired at all, but Shen He, who used immortal magic to carry her on the journey, had consumed a lot of energy.
Ningguang stroked the peak of her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. "I made it in time. Thank you, little sister Shen He. The old man is over there. You go first. I have to go to preside over the meeting."
"Sister, take care." Shen He returned to the black-dressed man with a smile on his face and called softly, "Father, Sister Ningguang has arrived. She has gone to prepare for the invitation of the immortal."
Mo Ran patted his disciple's head and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work. Ningguang probably asked you to carry her here again."
"Yes, but we finally made it in time. Father, don't blame her." Shen He grabbed one of his arms and shook it gently.
"Okay, okay, I know you two have a deep bond as sisters, so I won't be the bad guy."
"Well, dad is the best!"
A blond boy and a white floating object nearby felt their eyes tingling when they saw the two people being intimate, but they also felt weird, why didn't they look alike at all, and their ages didn't seem to match.
Mo Ran and the blond boy introduced their daughter to Paimon, and also introduced the two people who came from afar to their daughter.
Shen He, whose emotions were not bound by the red string, smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Shen He."
"Hello, I'm Paimeng, and this is Traveler Kong." Paimeng hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Mo Ran, your last name should be Mo, right? I remember that people in Liyue usually take their father's last name, so why is Shen He's last name Shen?"
For the simple-minded Paimeng, he had already regarded this easy-going businessman, whom he had just met for less than half a day, as a friend, so he didn't have many reservations about some of his words.
Shen He spoke first: "I am not my father's biological daughter. I was just a child raised by my father after I was seven years old. My biological father doesn't want me anymore."
Paimeng was shocked and apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know Shen He had such a sad past."
Kong also hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, Paimon has always been outspoken, I will definitely teach her a lesson in the future, please forgive her."
Shen He smiled and shook her head. To her, she would also smile back at anyone her father treated well, even if they had never met before. "It's okay. I've let it go a long time ago. Now, don't I have my father with me?"
"This is already very good for me." Shen He held the arm of a man in black, his eyes full of joy.
Paimon exhaled and said, "No wonder I felt that your last names and ages didn't match. You looked like a pair of siblings. So there is such a thing."
Mo Ran sighed, "Who knows the details of everything in the world?" He sighed, a little sad, but it was fleeting, "Please let the Immortal Code Conference begin."
On the Xiantai platform, a white-haired woman in brocade and gorgeous clothes walked slowly to the center, opened her jade mouth and uttered four words, "The auspicious time has arrived."
The Tianquan aides who were following behind Lord Tianquan bowed and stepped back. Ningguang raised her arms slightly, and dozens of precious jades flew into the incense burner. The scene this time was much bigger than in previous years and games.
Ningguang crossed one arm in front of her body and raised two fingers. The jade in the incense burner took effect, condensing into a golden light that rushed into the clouds and went straight up to the sky.
Just when people thought that the scene would remain unchanged as it had been for thousands of years, the golden clouds in the sky turned black and slowly spread to the entire sky, as if dark clouds were pressing down on a city and the sky was about to collapse.
The sun was obscured, as if it had retreated, and endless darkness enveloped the earth. For a moment, people were in panic, but in the hearts of the people of Liyue, they all believed that the Emperor would be absolutely fine.
But then a scene shattered their thoughts. A four-clawed golden dragon fell and smashed the entire summoning platform, but it just happened to avoid everyone and rolled onto an open space.
Ningguang and Tianquan's staff, who were on the Qingxiantai just now, noticed something was wrong and moved away early, so no one was injured.
But it is still unknown what the emperor is like now.
Ningguang walked forward and checked. She looked horrified, but seemed to know everything. She stood up, raised her arms, and said loudly: "The emperor has been killed. Seal off the whole place!"
The Qianyan Army guarding outside came in one after another, controlled every exit, and carefully checked everyone present.
Traveler Sora and Paimon looked around, their sneaky look really made people suspicious. The latter asked in surprise: "What on earth is going on?!"
"Her emperor was killed just now. Could it be that the God of Rock is dead?!" Paimon turned his head and said in a trembling voice: "Ah, it's the Qianyan Army. They are checking for suspicious people who are too close to Qingxiantai."
"This is so scary. The murderer is right among us. We seem to be the suspicious people who got too close. Hey! Where are you going, Sora?"
The blond boy in front of Paimon turned around and wanted to run, because he felt that God might be the enemy of that year. If he fell into the hands of the enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable. Just as he was about to act, a voice stopped his unrealistic idea.
"You'd better stay here. The Qianyan Army is not a bunch of unreasonable bandits. As long as you haven't done anything wrong, everything will be fine. If you run away now, you will be wanted by all of Liyue!"
"Maybe I, the person who recommended him, will be punished as well!"
Mo Ran said as he put his hand on the shoulder of the young-looking boy. He really couldn't understand what Kong was thinking. If he thought that God might be his former enemy, then why did he come to ask for the advice of the Immortals? If nothing happened after he came, then why was he running away?
The murder of Emperor Geo was not his fault. If he said that he had just arrived in Liyue and was not sure whether the officialdom was corrupt, and would falsely accuse others, that did not make sense.
All in all, Mo Ran stopped him, as for the original plot, who cares!
