Chapter 489

But she discovered it was Yingmeihe Sect and Paimon.

And beside her was a small girl with fiery red hair, curiously studying him.

As if there were something strange about him.

"Paimon, is this the one you said got blasted into the sky just now? How did he fly up?"

Little Keli asked with curiosity.

Paimon had already briefly told Keli about what happened earlier,

so she was very interested in this flying-up business.

"He just stepped on something, then got blown away by a cannon shot!"

Paimon said, gesturing with her hand.

"Oh, so that's how it works! This big brother is really amazing!"

Little Keli nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Young Master.

"Big brother, when I make bombs later, can you come try them out? You can fly into the sky too!"

Young Master: (⊙_⊙)

Listen,

Is that even human speech?

Even if I didn't save you, I did at least intervene, didn't I?

Even if you don't thank me, you don't have to blow me up with bombs…

Young Master didn't dwell on this with the two kids, but turned to Yingmeihe Sect.

"Why are you here?"

"We just went to summon the Immortal…"

Yingmeihe Sect briefly recounted the events.

"The Immortal has already arrived?"

Hearing this news, Young Master was also surprised.

He hadn't expected that after being locked up for just a while, these people had accomplished so much!

But this aligned with his original plan.

In Young Master's original plan,

after rescuing Yingmeihe Sect and the others, he intended to trick them into going to Ju Yun Jian.

Now, he no longer needed to.

"Still, I wonder what role that Boss Han played in all this?"

Upon learning that Boss Han had guided Yingmeihe Sect and the others, Young Master's expression turned grim, his brows tightly furrowed.

He hoped Boss Han wouldn't interfere,

otherwise his plan to obtain the Divine Core might fail.

After a moment's thought, Young Master smiled at Yingmeihe Sect and the others.

"As a return favor, I have some intelligence to offer you!"

"What kind of intelligence?"

Paimon asked curiously.

"The Seven Stars of Liyue's reaction to the death of the deity is most intriguing.

Previously, they publicly claimed that, since the true culprit had not yet been found, no one was permitted to pay respects to the Divine Ancestor's Corpse, and even tried to suppress the news.

But the Ceremony of Invoking the Immortal drew crowds; even the Seven Stars couldn't fully silence rumors."

Young Master said with a smile.

This was the information he had gathered after emerging.

"Divine Ancestor's Corpse?"

Paimon looked puzzled.

What's that?

"According to Liyue's common knowledge, the Rock King Emperor is also an Immortal.

Why would the Seven Stars hide the body left behind after the Rock God's soul ascended to the heavens? It's highly suspicious!"

Young Master shook his head, looking deeply concerned.

"If that's the case, then it's troublesome."

Yingmeihe Sect frowned.

She had come here specifically to find that deity.

If the Seven Stars of Liyue were hiding the Divine Ancestor's Corpse and forbidding anyone from approaching it,

then her goal of visiting all Seven Gods would be completely thwarted.

Seeing Yingmeihe Sect frown, Young Master's lips curled into a faint smile.

Though he didn't know why she sought the Seven Gods, he could now help her.

"Don't worry—I can assist you on this point.

The person I'm about to meet is the one who can break the deadlock. Want to come along?"

"The one who can break the deadlock? Who is that?"

Paimon became curious.

"A person from the Dao!"

Young Master smiled mysteriously.

Chapter 222: The Wager Between Seeing Zhongli and Young Master! Confident Young Master: No Possibility of Losing, Seeing Zhongli Mr. Is Such a Good Person

"People… from the underworld?"

Upon hearing this term, Little Paimon instinctively felt something was amiss.

"Come with me—you'll find out when you get there!"

Young Master smiled faintly and turned away, offering no further explanation.

"Let's go, let's follow him!"

Ying quickly made her decision.

She didn't care whether they were people from the underworld.

As long as they could truly break the deadlock, that was all that mattered.

Little Paimon nodded ~, saying nothing more.

She followed after Ying and Klee.

Soon, the group arrived at Liyue Pavilion.

"It is an honor to see Young Master again—our humble shop is graced by your presence.

A private room has been prepared; Mr. Seeing Zhongli is waiting for you."

Upon seeing Young Master and the others arrive, the attendant at the entrance bowed respectfully.

"Didn't know you had this much clout?"

Little Paimon teased.

"Forgive me for not introducing myself—I'm an Executive of the Fatui, codenamed Young Master.

So a little respect is only natural."

Young Master smiled faintly, no longer hiding his identity.

"You're from the Fatui?!"

Little Paimon's eyes widened.

She never expected the one who had saved them to be one of these people.

Ying grew even more cautious.
