Genshin Impact: Return of the Immortal Realm starts with being chased by Shadow

"Wow! Is this [Wangshu Inn] so big? It's amazing!"

"Well, this is one of the landmark buildings in Liyue Port."

The three of them entered the inn. Paimeng and Ying were looking for traces of the Great Sage, but Lin Jinnian found a seat and sat down.

"Eh? What are you doing?"

Paimeng was suspicious for a while that Lin Jinnian was thinking of being lazy again.

Seeing the suspicious looks in their eyes, he had no choice but to explain.

"It's different this time. I don't have a good relationship with the Great Sage of Conquering Demons. If he knew I was coming, he probably wouldn't come out to see you."

"So you can only find him yourself."

Fortunately, this reason is understandable.

Ying and Paimon had no choice but to search all the way up.

Lin Jinnian asked someone to add a pot of tea and leisurely enjoyed the scenery outside the window.

The great sage who conquers demons...the protector Yaksha...

He was suffering from the erosion of karma all the time. Compared to the four companions, it was a miracle that he could persist until now.

Lin Jinnian had an encounter with Mandrill 500 years ago, but at that time he laughed at Mandrill for being a dwarf, which led to a fight between the two.

So their relationship is not very good.

Does this kid really care about his height...

Just as Lin Jinnian was thinking this, he noticed two people who were looking for the calligraphy and painting "Demon Subduing Seal" in the inn.

Ying also saw him.

Lin Jinnian smiled and waved to her.

And Ying looked at his leisurely look and gritted her teeth.

Even though I had eaten one of his meals, I still really wanted to beat him up.

But now she has no time to care about this, she still has to deal with the ghost matter...

The dishes ordered by Lin Jinnian were also served one after another, and he began to taste the delicacies of Wangshu Inn.

……

In the end, Ying led Pai Meng to run around for a long time, and finally completed the commission and got the almond tofu.

They successfully met Mandrill with the help of [Hundred No Taboos] and Almond Tofu, and truthfully told them about the [Inviting Immortal Ceremony].

And Mandrill also decided to go to Liyue Port with the three True Lords Zuoyue, Lishui and Liuyun.

When they walked down to Wangshu Inn again, they saw Lin Jinnian who was eating.

Looking at the food on the table, Paimon complained dissatisfiedly.

"This is too much! We are running around here, but you are eating delicious food alone!"

Lin Jinnian didn't say anything, just pushed out a plate of desserts, and Paimon immediately fell silent.

"Hehe, actually you are quite a good person."

Lin Jinnian ignored her and looked at Ying.

"Are you going back next?"

"Um……"

She nodded slightly and remained as talkative as ever.

"Then let's say goodbye here. I'll stay here for a meal."

"Huh? Aren't you leaving with us?"

"Of course, I have completed the task of leading the way. And you two have eaten. Not only have I not eaten anything all day long, I have also cooked a meal for you."

Upon hearing this, Paimon scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Hehe... that's true... see you next time!"

"Ah."

When the two left, Lin Jinnian's voice came from behind.

"By the way, if you want to liberate that ghost, go to Shengtang to find a person named Hu Tao. She will definitely have a way."

……

After the tool duo left, Lin Jinnian continued to taste the food.

But suddenly, a blue-black light flashed beside him.

The next second, a heroic young man with a Yasha mask hanging around his waist appeared next to him.

He said in an indifferent tone.

"Is the emperor's assassination related to you?"

Lin Jin never looked back.

"You'll know when you go and take a look."

"Humph."

Another ray of light flashed, and Mandrill's figure disappeared.

The speed was so fast that it seemed as if he didn't want to stay for one more second.

He looked very calm throughout the whole process, as if he was not affected in any way.

But it’s better to say that he doesn’t believe that Emperor Yanwang will be killed. After all, how many people in his heart can threaten Emperor Yanwang?

Alas, he has not changed after 500 years.

Lin Jinnian estimated that Naying and Paimeng would go to see the young master next, and then be invited to have a meal with Zhongli.

Then he was tricked into preparing to send immortal rituals with Zhongli.

He remembered that many valuable items needed to be prepared for the ceremony to be given to immortals.

They were just waiting to be tricked by Zhongli, who never took Maura with him. Lin Jinnian didn't believe that these two people could run as fast as him.

……

Chapter 45 Looking for a Dust Cleanser Bell

Lin Jinnian returned to his residence and happened to see Ping Yun washing rice and preparing to cook.

She saw that Lin Jinnian was back, stopped what she was doing, and expressed concern.

"What did you do today? Did you come back so late?"

Her reaction surprised Lin Jinnian.

Today, something as big as the Emperor's assassination happened during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony. As an Immortal, it was impossible for her not to know about it, but she could still wash rice and cook here without looking at all panicked.

"I'm going to visit the Immortal Invitation Ceremony."

"..."

Hearing this, Pingyun looked at him deeply, with a very helpless tone.

"It seems that you also know about the emperor's assassination."

"Well, Sister Ping, I want to hear your opinion."

Ping Yun put her things aside, sat on a chair, and motioned for Lin Jinnian to come over as well.

After Lin Jinnian sat down, she slowly spoke.

"The assassination of the emperor... the whole thing is too strange, and there are many doubts in it. Moreover, the incident happened so suddenly that it is difficult to understand."

"But in my opinion, this matter is definitely not the rumored conspiracy of the Seven Stars. Although the Seven Stars may have the idea of ​​seizing power, they have no possibility of murdering the emperor."

Lin Jinnian nodded slightly in agreement.

"And... the emperor will never be killed. There must be some meaning behind his actions. Maybe he didn't tell us because the time has not come yet. We just have to wait and see what happens."

"But the matter has come to this. People with ulterior motives in Liyue Port are ready to take action. Threats from the outside cannot be ignored. We still need to be prepared."

Her eyes were clear, and there was no trace of confusion or haze.

After speaking, Lin Jinnian couldn't help but admire Ping Yun's thinking, which was clear and calm.

After seeing the current situation in Liyue, Qixing, Fools, and Immortals all participated in the chess game.

The Seven Stars fought with the immortals, and the fools did not stop at the same time.

And she was not shaken by the so-called [Assassination of the Emperor], and she was worthy of being an immortal.

"Sister Ping sees things so thoroughly, I feel relieved."

"I also visited several other immortals in Jueyunjian today, but their attitude towards this matter was not very friendly. Soon they will come to Liyue Port together to investigate the truth of the incident."

"I'm afraid that Liyue Port will not be peaceful at that time. Please be more careful."

"it is good."

……

The next day, Ying and Paimeng came to the Yujing Terrace to ask "Grandma Ping" to borrow the dust-cleaning bell.

However, they found Lin Jinnian who was drinking tea alone.

"Huh? Are you here too? Oh, by the way, I didn't ask your name yesterday."

Paimon flew to his side and glanced at the tea set on the table to make sure there were no snacks.

"Me? My name is Lin Jinnian."

Ying and Paimon formally introduced themselves. After all, they were friends who were looking for immortals together. It was too strange not to know their names.

"Then what are you doing here?"

"As you can see, drinking tea."

"Why is it just you?"

"There is someone else, but she went to make tea."

Lin Jinnian chatted with them for a while and felt that they spoke very little.

But to be fair, Paimon basically answered all the questions, so she didn't need to speak at all.

Maybe this is how mutes are raised.

Then he asked casually.

"What are you doing here? How are the preparations for the Immortal Presentation Ceremony going?"

Ying was a little puzzled.

"How do you know we are organizing the ceremony to send immortals?"

"I know Zhongli, the guest at the Purity Hall, so I naturally learned about it from him.

Just as Ying wanted to speak, she opened her mouth halfway, but Paimon rushed to the side to answer her, so she had to close her mouth again.

"We have made the ritual utensils using the [Candlelight] grade Yepo stone, and also used three different kinds of neon flowers to make the ointment. Now we are here to borrow the dust-cleaning bell from Grandma Ping."

This somewhat embarrassing scene fell in Lin Jinnian's eyes. The two looked at each other, and Lin Jinnian snorted with disdain, then put his hands on his hips.

"Eh? What's wrong with you two?"

Paimon was kept in the dark and had no idea what was going on. He only felt that the atmosphere had become a little subtle.

"It's nothing."

Lin Jinnian took the initiative to drop the topic in order to take care of his daughter's self-esteem.

"Do you know? The Grandma Ping you are looking for is an immortal."
