Chapter 34 The Emperor was assassinated? It’s none of my business!

Lin Chen always does things with preparation.

He had already inquired about the time of the invitation ceremony, the time needed to reach Liyue Port, and the time to tolerate accidents on the road. With the acquisition of an additional elemental force, Lin Chen’s strength increased greatly, and he traveled faster, and had more time. There was no problem staying in Wangshu Inn for two days, and he could adapt to the customs and habits of Liyue in advance.

Two days later, Lin Chen continued to set off with Paimeng.

Flying with a sword could not become a normal thing for Lin Chen at this stage.

Although he had the help of Qianfeng, the elemental force he could mobilize was relatively unable to withstand long-term consumption, but it was still very simple to fly a sword for hundreds of kilometers at a time. If he rested for a while in the middle, it would be much faster than the speed of a fast horse, and it would be more continuous. It was nothing more than spending a little time to rest and recover physical strength.

Ten days later.

Lin Chen arrived at Liyue Port on time with Paimeng.

It’s not that he’s slow, but he would train himself when he encountered monsters during his journey.

As a result, many Qianyan soldiers got to know Lin Chen, the sword fairy who came from the sky. After talking with him, they found out that he was an honorary knight from Mondstadt, and a famous traveler.

“Liyue Harbor looks much more prosperous than Mondstadt!”

Paimon followed Lin Chen and sighed, looking at the snacks on the roadside, his eyes were shining.

“You are my guide, why do you look like you have never seen the world?” Lin Chen shook his head helplessly.

“Hehe…I am greedy.”

Paimon smiled embarrassedly.

“Fortunately, Captain Qin gave me half a year’s salary before I left. Otherwise, in order to support you, I really would have to go to the Adventurer’s Association to take on those errands.” Lin Chen laughed helplessly and continued,”Let’s go. It’s almost noon. It’s time for the Immortal Ceremony. After watching the Immortal Ceremony, try to chat with the Rock God. After it’s over, I’ll take you to buy some delicious food.”

“Hehe, you are still the best!” Paimon smiled happily.

“If you are hungry now, you can buy something to fill your stomach so that you don’t get too hungry.”

“It’s okay, it’s just that I’m greedy now, let’s go!”

After asking some locals, Lin Chen and Paimeng came to Yujingtai, passed through the moon gate of Yujingtai and came to the open space in front of Yiyan Hall.

There were many incense burners placed here, and the incense burner in the middle was the largest. There were relatively few local people from Liyue around, and more were foreigners who came from foreign countries to watch the fun, such as Lin Chen and Paimeng.

“It seems like there’s still some time before we start, should we make a wish first?” Paimon asked

“That’s fine.”

Lin Chen lit the incense burner, made a silent wish, and then walked into the crowd with Paimeng.

“Let’s squeeze to the front, so that we can find an opportunity later.”Paimeng suggested after thinking of Lin Chen’s purpose.

Lin Chen nodded and took Paimeng to the front row of the crowd.

The preparations for the Seven Stars Invitation Ceremony seemed to have been completed for some time.

Standing in front of the largest incense burner was a woman with white hair and a graceful and elegant temperament. According to Lin Chen’s understanding, she was the contemporary Tianquan Star – Ningguang!

Ningguang looked up at the sky and said loudly:”The auspicious time has come!”

The two secretaries beside her pushed aside respectfully, and Ningguang prepared to cast a spell to invite the emperor.

Lin Chen stood in the front row with his arms folded and watched with Paimeng, and suddenly turned his head to look in the distance

“What’s wrong?” Paimon asked in confusion

“Someone is looking at me.” Lin Chen said softly

“Is this an illusion? There are so many people here, maybe the people behind are looking at you?” Paimeng whispered

“Paimeng, let me tell you a law, what is usually considered an illusion is usually not an illusion.”Lin Chen said calmly,”The glance just now was only for a moment, but he is a master, and it disappeared the moment I turned my head.” Paimeng just turned his head and was about to look in that direction when he was interrupted by Lin Chen:”Watch the ceremony of inviting the immortals, and then we will go fishing.”

“Oh oh.”

When Paimon came back to his senses, Ningguang had already finished casting the spell.

A beam of light rose from the incense burner and rushed into the sky.

In just a moment, the sky changed and dark clouds rolled.

Following a flash of red lightning, a half-dragon, half-scale creature fell from the clouds.

Boom!

It knocked over the incense burner, and everyone was shocked and talked about it.

“What’s going on now?”Paimon was shocked

“Just watch quietly.” Lin Chen frowned.

After a brief moment of shock, Ningguang carefully stepped forward to check, her pupils shrank slightly, and she immediately ordered:”The emperor has been killed, seal off the entire place!”

Suddenly, a large number of Qianyan soldiers poured in from the direction of Yujingtai through the Moon Cave Gate.

The crowd was in panic.

“What did she say? The Emperor was killed?”

Paimeng’s voice lowered a lot involuntarily, and he said to Lin Chen in a panic:”The gods died in front of us?”

Lin Chen also frowned and thought.

“Look, those Thousand Rocks Army are checking suspicious people who got too close to the scene…”

Paimeng said in panic,”We seem to be the suspicious people who got too close to the scene? Lin Chen… should we run?”

Seeing Paimeng trembling with fear, Lin Chen laughed,”Did we kill the Rock God?”

Paimeng shook his head,”Of course not!”

“Then why should we run? Only a guilty person would run away at this time.”

Lin Chen took out his ID card from his arms with a calm expression and said calmly:”We didn’t do anything, and we are great heroes of the neighboring country. Do you want to charge us just because we wanted to see the emperor’s divine face and got too close to the scene? That’s really ridiculous! If the Knights knew about this, they would probably hold Liyue accountable. If there were no idiots in the high places of Liyue, we would be fine today.”

Paimon was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but suddenly his eyes widened and he whispered:”But, but aren’t you afraid that God might be your brother and sister’s enemy back then?”

“I remember telling you that the maintainer of Heaven’s Law is a woman, right? And we asked Wendy before we came here, and the Rock God is a man.”

“Besides, Wendy and Yan Shen are good friends. If Yan Shen was our enemy… Wendy would have arrested us already. Why would he be friends with us?”

“If Yan Shen is really an enemy… he’s already dead, why should we be afraid?”

Lin Chen shrugged.

“Oh, that’s right!”

Paimeng suddenly realized and was no longer worried. He said expectantly:”After they finish questioning us, I want to go eat grilled tiger fish. I heard that the grilled tiger fish here is more authentic!”

“Okay, I’ll take you there later.”

【[Funina]: Brother Wenjian is still very clear-minded! Now he doesn’t have to be wanted!

【[Kaeya]: The one whose gaze was just noticed by Brother Wenjie should be Tartaglia watching in secret, right?

【[Tadalia]: It should be me, right? But I’m really calm and collected, and I even prepared my ID beforehand… Actually, even if I didn’t have the ID, I wouldn’t be in any trouble if I stood here, because there’s a very simple truth: If it was I who murdered Rock God, I could kill him, so why not kill you too?

【[Lu Ye Yuan Heizo]: Such a simple and crude truth! But it is indeed the truth. I didn’t understand what Tian Quanxing was thinking for a while.

【Qin: I think Miss Ningguang’s reaction is quite normal. The Rock King is like the Wind God to the Monds. It is impossible for anyone to calm down when the King suddenly dies before their eyes. It is possible that she gave the wrong order in a hurry. And it is her job to investigate the scene.

【Arata Ichito]: Now it seems that brother Lin Chen doesn’t have to run errands to ask for help from an immortal in order to clear his suspicion!

【Wendy]: Brother Wendy: The Emperor was assassinated? It’s none of my business! Anyway, all the gods are dead, so don’t even think about visiting all of them, and don’t waste your energy on it. Just eat and drink, and enjoy yourself!
