Chapter 25

Zhongli saw their thoughts, but he didn't say it out loud.

Before he could be sure for the time being, he wouldn't have any evaluation of this, neither believing nor denying it.

Just pretend not to know.

Otherwise, what if it all ends in a bamboo basket?

"Besides that, there are Jiang Yan's various means, such as sword control, manipulating the thunder of heaven and earth, controlling golden light, driving the five elements..."

"These seem to fit the cultivation passed down in folk legends."

"Therefore, no matter what, we can temporarily believe that cultivation does indeed exist."

Zhongli made the final summary regarding cultivation and added:

"My evaluation in my heart is no different from Liuyun's, both are eighty percent credible."

Hearing this, Liuyun looked at Xiaoyue triumphantly, but the latter didn't care about Liuyun's eyes.

Instead, he said with some worry:

"Archon, what about the remaining twenty percent? Could it be that the Archon thinks Jiang Yan will harm Liyue?"

This made Xiao and the others nervous.

At present, with the means Jiang Yan has shown, if he wanted to harm Liyue, it seems Zhongli couldn't stop him.

"Harm?"

Zhongli gave a light laugh, but his peripheral vision looked at Ganyu, who had a cute face on the side.

"No, on the contrary, I think Jiang Yan will love the house and its crow, and will provide help to Liyue, and even help Liyue."

This statement left everyone confused.

Especially Ganyu, who didn't know why, always felt that Zhongli was looking at her when he said these things.

Zhongli felt emotion in his heart.

People often say that Morax has no heart, but even rocks can turn into dragons. He has existed for more than six thousand years, so how could he have no heart?

It's just that his heart is all given to Liyue, and there is no room for anything else.

But not involving children's love doesn't mean he doesn't understand.

Having lived for more than six thousand years, what hasn't he seen?

No matter how strong Jiang Yan is, his bone age is only twenty-something.

Using the cultivation system to look at it, he is a unique genius, that is, an existence bound to ascend.

But...

The common problem of geniuses is that they are too young and easily disturbed by secular emotions.

Zhongli doesn't think Jiang Yan can have no feelings for Ganyu.

Since that's the case, there's no need to worry about Jiang Yan harming Liyue.

On the contrary, if everything goes well, Jiang Yan will also help with all his strength, using cultivation secret methods to help Liyue take off.

"Since that's the case, what is the remaining twenty percent in your heart, Archon?"

Lishui asked patiently, and Zhongli pondered for a moment before sighing:

"Based on the principle of universality, what Jiang Yan said is too grand and ethereal."

"No matter what, we in Teyvat are ultimately frogs in a well and cannot confirm whether what he said is true or false."

"Therefore, I dare not trust him completely."

19. Zhongli: Alice, it's me, the golden dragon

"The Archon and I thought of the same thing."

Liuyun raised the corners of her mouth, seemingly somewhat proud that she could be on the same frequency as Zhongli.

"Let's not talk about Jiang Yan's remarks about cultivation for now, just talk about this Shushan..."

"We existences in Teyvat are born here and grow up here, and eventually die here."

"Unable to step out of Teyvat, how dare we judge whether Shushan exists or not with eyes outside the world?"

"This is not Jiang Yan's problem, but our own problem of vision."

"If there were existences who had traveled through many worlds, perhaps what Jiang Yan said could be judged."

"In the end, things like Great Luo that Jiang Yan mentioned are too... anyway, I feel that this kind of existence is very ethereal."

Liuyun just sighed.

But this sigh gave Zhongli a hint.

His eyes lit up, and Zhongli put down his teacup.

"Liuyun, you reminded me. We don't know the truth of the world, but I know there is one person who will definitely know these things."

"Who?"

Looking at the confused Xiaoyue and the others, Zhongli didn't say anything, just took out a wonderful doll from his portable space.

He sighed. It could be seen that Zhongli didn't really want to contact the other party. If Liuyun and the others could see the face under Zhongli's hood.

They would probably be scared.

Zhongli was actually somewhat conflicted as never before.

But considering Liyue, Zhongli finally squeezed it.

"Beep beep, this is the Alice line. The beautiful and elegant Ms. Alice is busy. If you are busy, please hang up."

"Ms. Alice will find time to reply to you in three hundred years. Please wait patiently."

Liuyun and the others suddenly realized.

Klee's mother, Alice, a veteran of the Hexenzirkel.

An existence that has been rooted in the borders of Teyvat all year round and has even traveled to other worlds many times.

When she came to Liyue back then, it was Zhongli who personally entertained her.

Later, I don't know what happened, but Zhongli came back with a dark face.

He ordered that no existence named Alice would be allowed to travel within Liyue in the future.

It is rumored...

Alice seemed to have made a bomb in the kitchen pot of Wangshu Inn, which is also the reason why Zhongli later had Xiao stationed at Wangshu Inn for a long time.

Besides that, there seemed to be other magical achievements, such as wanting to experiment with a Hilichurl perpetual motion machine in a certain ruin.

Accidentally caused a small earthquake in Liyue.

But these, I think, are not the reason for Zhongli's dark face.

According to fake news that couldn't be faker, someone saw Alice's bomb, which covered Zhongli's face...

Even a few golden scales were broken.

"Beep beep..."

The repeated words sounded, and Zhongli's face became darker and darker.

Liuyun didn't know why and said softly:

"Archon, since Ms. Alice is not here, why don't..."

Zhongli sighed and said in a low voice:

"Alright, stop playing, Alice. This is the line you gave me. Only I can call. I know you are listening."

The somewhat mechanical voice stalled for a moment, and then continued to sound.

"Beep beep, password error, please state the line name correctly."

Zhongli's face became darker and darker, and even black energy emerged from behind him.

He knew it, every time he communicated with Alice, it would aggravate the erosion!

"I have serious business with you!"

"Beep beep, you can't link the communication without saying the password."

Liuyun and the others couldn't understand this; this was clearly Alice speaking herself.

They wanted to scold her for being disrespectful to the Archon, but thinking of Alice's identity, that was the war god of the Teyvat border whom even Zhongli had to treat with courtesy.

Everyone pretended not to hear it.

Zhongli took a deep breath and muttered a few words.

"Beep beep, I didn't hear it. If you don't say it loudly, Lord Alice won't respond."

The black energy behind Zhongli was almost covering the sky. If it could be concretized, it would probably not be weaker than Jiang Yan's tribulation clouds.

Zhongli gritted his teeth and said somewhat through gritted teeth:
