Chapter 57 See you again
At the same time, on the other side outside Yujingtai.

Ying and Paimon were very, very careful to avoid the sight of the Qianyan Army, and they fled in a roundabout way and in a covert manner.

But even with such caution, there are always times when she is careless. She stepped on the tiles on the ground and broke them!

"Who!" The very alert Qianyan Army noticed the small noise at the first time, turned around suddenly, and saw the sneaky Ying and Paimon!

After being discovered, Ying looked around and immediately fled downwards. However, just after she ran down one floor, she was blocked by the Qianyan Army coming up from below. She quickly turned around and fled to the other end, but unfortunately this last way out was also blocked by the Qianyan Army.

Paimon shrank back in fear behind Ying, who frowned as he looked at the Qianyan army attacking from three directions. He had no way to retreat and had to call out his weapons!

"It seems that I have no choice but to fight my way out!" Ying thought to himself.

When Qianyan Jun saw that Ying was showing signs of resistance, he didn't say anything and rushed towards him with his gun raised, ready to subdue him first.

Just when the battle between the two sides was about to break out, suddenly, a patch of water appeared on the ground between the two sides, and two masked girls suddenly emerged from it!

"Who are you!" the commander of the Qianyan Army shouted loudly, and his spear had already stabbed towards the two people who suddenly appeared!
Lu Qianzhi raised his foot and kicked the opponent's spear to the side, then stomped hard on the ground!

"A critical moment!"

The elemental power of rock was infused into the earth, and a gravity field appeared within a radius of ten meters. The attacking Thousand Rocks Army suddenly became as slow as a seventy-year-old man!
Then, Lu Qianzhi and Mona turned to Ying and Paimeng and quickly explained, "We are here to save you, follow us!"

As she spoke, Mona had already condensed a teleportation array under everyone's feet again, and teleported everyone away without caring whether Ying agreed or not.

After teleporting several times, when they finally stopped, they had arrived at the door of the Lu family.

Ying and Paimeng looked around and found that there were indeed no pursuers, so they basically eliminated their vigilance towards Lu Qianzhi and others.

"Who are you? Why do you want to save us?" Paimon asked in shock, with tension written all over his little face.

"Let's talk inside." Lu Qianzhi took off his mask and opened the door.

Mona looked at Ying and Paimon seriously, narrowing her eyes, "As expected, they are Shi Yuan's friends. They actually come from outside this world."

"Shi Yuan? Outside this world!" Ying was stunned when he heard these two words.

"Could it be that you are friends with the big liar?" Paimon said in shock.

"Come in first!" Mona also walked into the room.

Ying and Paimon looked at each other, followed in with full of doubts, and sat down in the living room.

"Now, you should tell me what's going on." Ying said impatiently.

"This is Qianzhi, Shi Yuan's sister." Mona introduced, "My name is Astrologis Mona Megistus, just call me Mona, I am Shi Yuan's, um... partner."

"In other words, it was Shi Yuan who asked you to come and save us?" Paimon said with some surprise, "Looking closely, this Miss Qianzhi really looks like Shi Yuan!"

"Of course, we were all there when the Emperor was killed, and my brother specifically asked us to help you escape." Lu Qianzhi nodded, "Then who are you?"

“Ahem…” Paimon got excited when talking about this, “My name is Paimon, and I’m Ying’s best friend. Her name is Ying, and she’s a traveler who aspires to travel all over Teyvat!
Moreover, she is Mondstadt's honorary knight and the main force in defeating the Wind Dragon!"

"No wonder." Lu Qianzhi understood, "It turns out that my brother knew you at that time." "Speaking of which, where is Shi Yuanren?" Ying asked.

"My brother was also at Yujingtai at the time, so he must have returned later than us." Lu Qianzhi said, "Please sit down and wait. I'll go make tea for you."

Not long after, the Lu family's door was pushed open again.

Ying and Paimeng looked up nervously, and when they saw who it was, they felt completely relieved, "Shi Yuan."

"Oh, we meet again." Lu Shiyuan smiled and greeted the two. Then, he frowned again, "On the way, I saw Qianyan Army searching every house. Let's not stay in the living room, let's go to the inner room."

Everyone nodded when they heard this. Led by Lu Qianzhi, they came to an empty guest room. The window of the guest room led directly to the outside world, making it easy for people to escape when searched. Lu Qianzhi stood guard at the door, sensing the movements around him.

"Big liar!" Paimeng floated to Lu Shiyuan with some excitement, "It's really thanks to you this time, otherwise, Ying and I would be in trouble."

"No need to say thank you." Lu Shiyuan smiled and pinched Paimon's chubby face, and said cheerfully, "Why did you come to Liyue? And you wanted to escape after the Emperor was killed."

Paimon heard this and hesitated, not knowing whether he should say it.

Ying looked at Lu Shiyuan, then glanced at Mona.

Lu Shiyuan understood and nodded, "It's okay, they are all trustworthy people. Ying, if you trust me, just tell me the answer to the question."

"Paimon, go ahead." Ying gestured.

So, the story of Ying and her brother Kong, as well as her purpose of coming to Liyue and the reason for her escape, were all told to everyone through Paimon's mouth.

Lu Qianzhi and Mona listened quietly, and their eyes towards Ying became much softer.

The same was true for Lu Shiyuan. Although he already knew the truth, looking at Ying's silent eyes, he couldn't help but feel sorry for this girl - even though this so-called girl might be hundreds or thousands of years older than him.

"...This is why Ying ran away." Paimon finally finished the story, and then said with some frustration, "But now, the Rock King is dead, and Ying's purpose in searching for the Seven Gods may be..."

"Did the Emperor really get murdered?" Lu Qianzhi finally couldn't help but speak out, "Who did this?"

"Calm down, Qianzhi," Mona said, "Perhaps your brother knows something. Shi Yuan, what are you hiding from us that you are so indifferent to Yan Shen's death?"

So, everyone's eyes turned to Lu Shiyuan.

"Indeed, Mona, you are very perceptive." Lu Shiyuan said with a smile, "There is actually only one reason why I don't feel anything about the Emperor's murder - the Emperor is not dead at all!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!

Lu Qianzhi hurriedly said: "But brother, the emperor is clearly in front of us..."

"That's just an illusion, Qianzhi!" Lu Shiyuan explained, "The Emperor did this to trick us into believing that he is dead.

Therefore, Ying still has a chance to see the God of Rock again, and we in Liyue have not lost our guardian god!"
