"Haha, could it be that they mistook Mr. Zhongli for an assassin?"
"There are indeed many assassins among the Fools' friends, but the Hall of Rebirth is not in that line of work... at least not on the surface."
D'Artagnan smiled at this and then explained to Paimon.
"On the surface..."
Ying looked puzzled upon hearing this.
"That's certainly not the case on the surface."
"In a sense, Morax was also an assassin, after all, he committed suicide."
After taking a sip of tea, Qiu Nian found it somewhat amusing.
"After all, he's a member of the underworld, so I can't go into details."
"In short, the reason I introduced you to Zhongli is because..."
D'Artagnan paused here.
"Because I have a way to let you see the immortal body of the Rock King."
Zhongli took over the conversation and spoke.
"what?!"
Paimon was surprised to hear this.
"Lu Xun met Zhou Shuren, right?"
Qiu Nian's lips twitched slightly.
"Ha, no need to be surprised. Although the Geo God's immortal body has already been hidden under the manipulation of the Radiant Light of Tianquan Star..."
"But let's hear what Zhongli has to say first."
D'Artagnan shook his head, then looked at Zhongli.
"Although the Rock King Emperor is the ancestor of all immortals, he is still considered one of the immortals in the end."
"Throughout Liyue's thousands of years of history, the immortals have been leaving one after another, an irreversible trend."
"Because times have changed, you should have already felt this change in Jueyun."
Upon hearing this, Zhongli looked at Ying and Paimon beside him and slowly explained.
"Indeed, the immortals are moving away from Liyue."
Ying nodded.
"As you can see, the era of the immortals is fading away, and the era of humans is gradually becoming a reality."
“In previous years, a grand memorial ceremony was held for each immortal who passed away.”
"This is a tradition of Liyue."
"But this time even the Seven Stars couldn't spare the time to attend to this tradition... It's really inappropriate."
Zhongli turned his head, his tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.
"A veteran actor."
"Why Seven Stars doesn't care is something Morax knows better than anyone else."
Looking at Zhongli in this state, Qiu Nian murmured to herself.
As he was thinking about it, he decided to tease the old man.
Although he himself is an old man.
"Actually, I have another way to let you see the Rock God immediately."
As Qiu Nian was talking, she inexplicably glanced at Zhong Li.
Zhongli was taken aback upon hearing this.
Then he looked at Qiu Nian with a strange expression.
That look in his eyes seemed to say, "Don't say it."
"What's the solution?"
Paimon was a little curious.
"just kidding."
Qiu Nian smiled upon hearing this.
Perhaps those in the parallel world of Earth are currently indifferent to this part of the story.
But in the near future, they will discover the humor in this storyline.
"You guy..."
Upon hearing this, Ying and Paimon looked at Qiu Nian in front of them, their expressions gradually turning disdainful.
"But after all, it's a bizarre case of murdering a god..."
"Even the real culprit hasn't been caught."
Ying turned her head and looked at Zhongli beside her.
Chapter 12 Qiu Nian and Zhong Li
“The mysterious case of murdering a god...Wang Sheng Tang doesn’t care about such things.”
"What Wangshengtang is concerned about is, with such a grand ceremony for inviting the immortals, is no one in charge of the ceremony for sending them off?"
“Traveler, I heard about you from the young master.”
"Since you have some connection with the Wind God."
"...Then, would you consider joining me in preparing a ceremony to bid farewell to the Geo God?"
Zhongli looked at Yingmei beside him and slowly asked.
"Accepting the invitation is not out of the question."
Ying hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, but still agreed.
Where is Mr. Qiu Nian?
"Having lived in Jueyun for so long, I only just arrived in Liyue Harbor when I encountered the assassination attempt on the Emperor."
"Besides, you're friends with this traveler, so why don't you consider joining us?"
Zhongli turned his head, looked at Qiu Nian across the table, and asked.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian revealed a faint smile.
"So good."
Zhongli nodded slightly upon hearing this.
“A wise choice.”
D'Artagnan smiled at this.
If this Mr. Qiu Nian quits halfway and goes to a place he can't find.
That would truly be missing an opportunity to compete with a strong opponent.
"Tianquan Ningguang...she is preventing anyone from seeing the Emperor's immortal body."
"So, if you want to achieve your goal of finding the Seven Gods, this is the only way left."
D'Artagnan looked at Ying beside him and began to explain.
"exactly."
"Only by participating in the Ceremony of Sending Off the Immortals can you see the body of the Rock God again."
Zhongli looked at Ying beside him and agreed.
"It seems there's no other way."
Ying nodded upon hearing this.
"Well, if you agree, then come with me."
"We'll discuss the details on the way."
After Zhongli finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the private room.
"No way, so fast..."
"The food on this table hasn't been touched at all."
Paimon looked at Zhongli's doorway, then at the tempting food on the table, and said with regret.
"Ha ha..."
"This is probably what a dinner party is all about. It's a dinner party to discuss something, not just to eat."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian looked at Ying and Paimon in front of him and explained with a smile.
"So this is what a dinner party is like."
"Is the pretext of a meal used to achieve some kind of cooperation?"
D'Artagnan looked at the untouched food on the table and felt he had learned a lot.
"To fully understand the customs of this country."
"You still have a lot to learn."
Qiu Nian looked at Dadalia beside him and spoke.
"Haha, that's true."
"Alright, my role as matchmaker is complete."
"How about it? Not bad, right?"
D'Artagnan smiled upon hearing this.
