Chapter 230: All adepti arrive! Lady Ganyu: You guys stop arguing!

Undoubtedly, Tartaglia wanted to persuade the people of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor to help him by appealing to reason.

The high-sounding reason was that he suspected the Liyue Qixing of seizing power, and perhaps the death of the Exuvia was even their doing.

Otherwise, why seize power at the first opportunity and take no action at all?

Normal people would be suspicious.

He had already discussed this rhetoric with all the forces in Liyue in order to stir up the water and fish in troubled waters.

After all, Tartaglia's ultimate goal was to obtain the specific location of the Exuvia of the Adepti and retrieve the Gnosis from it to complete his mission.

Regardless of the process, as long as the goal was achieved, it was good.

It's just a pity that other forces either refused or were willing but unable.

Fortunately, someone finally recommended Wangsheng Funeral Parlor consultant Zhongli to him.

If there was still one person who had a way, it could only be him.

Thus, Tartaglia spared no effort to come and invite him.

Hearing this, Seeing Zhongli frowned slightly.

He didn't expect that upon hearing of the Exuvia's death, the Liyue Qixing wouldn't hold the Rite of Parting at the first opportunity.

Regardless of the situation, they should have followed the rules of the Rite of Parting that should have been in place first.

Just looking at his expression, Luo Li knew what this guy was thinking and couldn't help but want to spray him.

Honestly speaking, Seeing Zhongli's thinking was too idealistic.

Generally, when encountering the fall of a god, how could they immediately arrange the Rite of Parting, especially when it happened suddenly during the descent ceremony?

Anyone with a brain would investigate the cause at the first opportunity to understand the cause and effect.

Besides, there were many Secret Fatui conspiracies in Liyue recently, doing some unspeakable things in the dark.

The Liyue Qixing had so many things to do, where would they have the heart to hold the Rite of Parting?

But Seeing Zhongli didn't care!

Of course, the thoughts of adepti and humans were not the same, or perhaps this was one of the reasons why the two were drifting apart.

Therefore, he agreed to Tartaglia's request in one breath.

"For this matter, I do have a way."

Tartaglia's eyes lit up; it was settled.

"Very good, I have a friend who is very enthusiastic about exploring the truth and has great skills. I believe he will definitely be useful during this period. Later, I will host at Liuli Pavilion; why don't you meet my friend, Mr. Zhongli?"

Seeing Zhongli nodded in agreement.

Getting the promise, Tartaglia was very happy.

Luo Li just watched the two of them perform quietly.

…………

Outside Liyue Harbor!

"Hey, Lumine, now that we've seen four adepti, although our suspicion has been cleared, what should we do next? The way they looked so angry just now, it seems like something is going to happen."

The duo, who were treated as tool people by Tartaglia, were currently worried.

With the help of the Sigil of Permission given by Tartaglia, the two successfully met the adepti and told the events that happened in Liyue Harbor one by one to Mountain Shaper, Moon Carver, Cloud Retainer, and the Yaksha.

However, to the surprise of the two, several adepti were furious and actually thought about suppressing Liyue Harbor at the first opportunity.

They wanted to find the murderer who assassinated the Exuvia.

If there was any carelessness, the adepti would definitely clash with the forces of Liyue Harbor, and a great war might break out.

"This..."

Lumine didn't know what to do now either; she was of low status and weak words, and it was good enough to clear her own suspicion.

Burdened with worries, she could only speed up with Paimon to return to Liyue Harbor.

Then she saw a scene that surprised them.

Located on the outskirts of Liyue Harbor, the Millelith and the adepti they had seen before were gathered.

But the atmosphere between the two sides could not be considered harmonious; on the contrary, the tense situation made people nervous.

Facing the defense on the city wall, Cloud Retainer said sternly: "Liyue Liyue Qixing, why don't you come out to see us yet! Could it be that you still want to hide the matter!"

Hearing of the Exuvia's fall, the adepti were already angry, not to mention being blocked outside.

This Liyue was a place established by the adepti following the Exuvia's contract.

After so many years, humans actually dared to block the adepti outside the door; their courage was really big enough.

If it weren't for maintaining the last bit of reason, several adepti might have stormed Liyue.

A moment later, an upright and sharp young girl stood out on the city wall to face them.

"Illuminated beasts, Liyue is currently in turmoil. Please return to Jueyun Karst; we will definitely give a satisfactory answer afterwards."

"Lady Yuheng! Stop stalling for time, open the city gate and let us in! If you don't act, don't blame us for doing it ourselves!"

The sharp scolding made Miss Keqing frown slightly.

Taking a deep breath, she still tried to persuade them with kind words.

"Adepti, we request you to return for now. Once everything is resolved, there will definitely be an explanation afterwards."

Cloud Retainer was furious and said coldly: "I'll say it again, open Liyue City and let us in! Otherwise, don't blame us for forcing our way in!"

Miss Keqing was not afraid at all, responding clearly and uprightly: "No matter how many times you say it, I won't let you in. Liyue is currently at a critical moment and cannot allow any mistakes!"

380 Talking about threats?

Who has Miss Keqing ever been afraid of? The era of human rule has arrived. Since the adepti live in seclusion in the mountains, they should do their own part.

They would certainly give an answer to this matter, just not now.

Seeing the two sides looking at each other coldly, it seemed like there was a trend of fighting at any time.

Lady Ganyu, who was in the back, could no longer watch and hurried to the front to mediate.

"Cloud Retainer, you guys stop arguing. Teacher has returned and has already gone to investigate clues. I believe there will be an answer soon."

Seeing Lady Ganyu, Cloud Retainer was stunned. She didn't expect that as a half-adeptus, she would stand on the opposite side, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

But then hearing the word "Teacher," she couldn't help but feel absurd.

"Wait, who did you say? Teacher?"

For a moment, the shock was so great that she almost forgot the fact that the Exuvia had died.

There was only one person who could be called Teacher by Lady Ganyu from beginning to end, even if she had taken over taking care of Lady Ganyu from that person back then, it was only a respectful title.

Not just her, even Mountain Shaper and Moon Carver were extremely shocked.

How could this be? Wasn't that person supposed to have died in the Abyss long ago as the Exuvia said? How could he return again now?!

Being messed up by Lady Ganyu, the atmosphere was awkward for a moment. ===== CHAPTER 232 =====
