Chapter 452

So...

Is it Ganyu in the Sect Master's cave dwelling?

Doesn't that mean Jiang Yan is busy with serious business?

This can't let Klee go back, otherwise wouldn't something happen?

Zhongli hurriedly reached out to stop Alice.

"Wait a moment, the Sect Master is currently cultivating. I just came out of the Sect Hall; you should take Klee to continue playing for a while."

"Is that so?"

Alice scratched her cheek, but didn't mind; anyway, she was very happy to be with Klee.

"Since that's the case, I'll take Klee to catch a few more demon beasts."

Alice replied with a smile. Seeing this, Zhongli quietly breathed a sigh of relief and was about to take his leave when he suddenly saw an icy blue figure walking from afar.

Beside her, she was holding a little girl who looked like she was carved from pink jade.

Walking closer, Ganyu nodded politely.

"Head Seat Zhongli, Elder Alice, little Klee."

Alice bent down and pinched Qingluan's cheek.

"Little Qingluan has grown up again, so cute. Do you want to follow your sister to catch demon beasts?"

"Really!"

Qingluan's eyes lit up, and she turned to look at Ganyu with expectation.

Ganyu shook her head helplessly.

"If Qingluan wants to go, then go, but don't play too late; you still need to cultivate at night."

"I know! Sister Ganyu!"

Ganyu withdrew her gaze and suddenly felt that Zhongli's eyes looking at her were a bit dull.

She couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Head Seat Zhongli? Is there something on my face?"

This sentence immediately brought Zhongli back to his senses. He looked at Ganyu with a confused expression, then turned his head to look in the direction of the Sect Hall.

"This... Ganyu, you are here, then who is in the Sect Master's cave dwelling?"

"Ah?!"

268. Miko: I finally became a disciple who rebelled against her master

As soon as this sentence was asked, Zhongli knew he had done a very painful thing.

Looking at Ganyu's reaction, Zhongli thought to himself that it was bad.

He hurriedly organized his words and said:

"Nothing, I just went to talk to the Sect Master about the Rite of Descension in three days; I will announce my abdication, and at that time, the Sect Master will also go in person."

Ganyu nodded, but at this moment her mind was not on this at all.

Whether Zhongli abdicates or not...

This is not the point at all!

The point is what Zhongli just said!

Who in Shushan doesn't know that only Ganyu and Klee can enter the Sect Master's cave dwelling.

She heard every word Zhongli just said clearly.

Now this means...

Someone is inside, right?

"That's not right, Head Seat Zhongli."

Alice seemed to have noticed a blind spot, and a flash of cunning passed through her eyes.

"Didn't you just say that the Sect Master is cultivating, you didn't find the Sect Master at the Sect Hall, and you told me not to send Klee back now?"

"..."

For a moment, Zhongli was silent.

This Alice really doesn't mind making a scene!

Ganyu and Klee are not there, so obviously someone else is in the Sect Master's cave dwelling.

Does this kind of thing need to be said more clearly?

Isn't Alice afraid of ruining Jiang Yan's good deeds and making Jiang Yan hold a grudge against her?

"I remembered wrong just now."

Zhongli was silent for a long time, and could only give a vague answer.

Alice pursed her lips.

A late-stage Qi Refinement and Spirit Manifestation expert, at this step, can even remember the mystery in the womb, and still remembered wrong?

However, Alice obviously didn't intend to continue pestering; teasing is enough. If something really happens, what if she gets locked in the Demon-Locking Tower?

But Ganyu obviously didn't want to let it go just like that.

She was calculating in her heart.

She is just naive, but not really stupid. There are many people in Shushan who have a good impression of Jiang Yan.

Keqing, Ningguang, Lisa, Miko, Jean...

Even Furina, who just joined Shushan a while ago, often pulled her to ask about Jiang Yan.

That expression, wasn't it the same as hers back then?

But now, Furina has returned to Fontaine, Jean has returned to Mondstadt to handle affairs, and Lisa is in seclusion refining pills, preparing for the secret realm exploration in a month.

Ningguang and Keqing have also returned to Liyue Harbor for meetings.

Counting them all, there aren't many people left in Shushan.

Excluding Alice who is still in front of her, that is...

Miko?!

Ganyu's face darkened.

Today, she indeed hadn't seen any trace of Miko.

Logically speaking, Miko should at least see her once a day, right?

Now...

Is the one stealing the house Miko, whom she regarded as her own sister?

Her head felt heavy, and Ganyu felt as if ten thousand horses were galloping over her head.

Taking a deep breath, Ganyu said softly:

"Head Seat Zhongli, Elder Alice, have you seen Sister Miko today? She seems to have never come to find me, and there is no trace of her in the cave dwelling."

Hearing Ganyu say this, Zhongli and Alice felt settled in their hearts.

The case is solved; the one in the Sect Master's cave dwelling is Miko!

But this matter is not something that can be stated clearly.

Zhongli and Alice shook their heads in unison without saying much.

Ganyu was convinced in her heart that Miko definitely took advantage of her inattention to steal the house.

After guarding against everything, she still missed one, right?

Ganyu took a deep breath and said softly:

"Excuse me, Elder Alice, I'll leave Qingluan to you; I have something to find the Sect Master."

Hearing this, Zhongli was a bit nervous and opened his mouth to say something, but looking at Ganyu's expression that said 'if you open your mouth, you are an accomplice'.

Zhongli decided to remove himself from this matter.

The Sect Master's private affairs have nothing to do with him.

Immediately, Zhongli said nothing, nodded, and left on his sword.

That speed seemed as if he was afraid of being implicated if he left a step late.

Alice also smiled guiltily, picked up Klee and Qingluan, one in each arm, and flew away on Buddha light.

Ganyu took a deep breath and stared at the Sect Hall not far away.

She walked in step by step.

As expected, Jiang Yan was not cultivating in the Sect Hall. ===== CHAPTER 453 =====
