Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

“But Father didn’t care about any of that. He was never even in Shurima, but everyone loved him and was willing to follow him until death, because everything Father did was for the sake of his people.”

When Nasita spoke, her eyes were filled with adoration. She used her divine power to isolate herself from the outside world, and only Asmodeus could hear what she said.

“It’s just that there are always people who misunderstand Father.” She pouted, looking unhappy. “They all think Father is irresponsibly running around everywhere, but they never think about how many amazing things Father has done. They are the ones who are captivated by Father’s charm, so how can they blame him? If Father hadn’t done these things, how could their country be so easy? Really, women are so unreasonable.”

Asmodeus opened his mouth, looking at the precocious Nasita, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Lord Faenes... so he wanted to immerse himself in Teyvat and experience life under the natural order.

She understood; this was the so-called test, a test of the stability and rationality of the natural order. For this, she was willing to play the role of the 'villain,' and she was willing to be misunderstood.

Phanes was testing her, but wasn't he also testing himself?

Rather, it's more accurate to say that, playing the villain within the order he himself created, facing death time and time again... Lord Faenes was the one who suffered the greatest pain!

Compared to Lord Fanes, what are my grievances?

"How could I blame Lord Fanes for something like this... Asmodeus, have you forgotten all the kindness he bestowed upon you?" Asmodeus was filled with remorse.

"Sister Asmodeus?"

Nasita raised her head and made a suspicious sound.

“Thank you, Nasita.” Asmodeus reached out her hand, but stopped just before touching the little head. Remembering Nasita’s identity, she immediately withdrew it.

"Ok?"

“It’s nothing.” Asmodeus rarely showed a smile. “Thanks to Morax, He suggested that I come to Sumeru. It seems that I made the right choice.”

"You know Uncle Morax?"

Sister Asmodeus, Uncle Morax?

What does this mean?

Never mind, it doesn't matter.

“I have known Him for a long time, but I will tell you about it later.” Asmodeus’s voice remained calm and indifferent, but his gaze toward Nasita held a hint of affection. “Now you have done enough to be considerate of the people’s plight. It’s time to go and finish your own work.”

"Hehe~ Since Sister Asmodeus said so... then okay."

The theater performance won't officially start until tonight, so if I finish things early, there will be plenty of time.

Thinking this, Narcida prepared to take Asmodeus with her, but the moment she turned around, the smile on her face froze.

"Naxi Da!" The Great Tree King stood at a distance, hands clasped to his chest, adopting the posture of a stern mother. "The ceremony for the Day of Knowledge of Tibet is about to begin, what are you still doing here? Making the scholars wait for you all by yourself, what kind of behavior is this?"

"Waaah... I'm sorry." Nasita lowered her head and admitted her mistake, her expression immediately becoming obedient.

“It’s not her fault. I asked Nasita to show me around,” Asmodeus said calmly. “If anything goes wrong, I’ll take responsibility.”

"You are..."

The Great Compassion Tree King was taken aback.

The upholders of natural justice?!

"Asmodeus!" The goddess of flowers' eyes sharpened. "Release Narcida!"

Nasida: "???"

Asmodeus: "..."

After a brief silence, Nasita blinked and said, "Aunt Marikata, Sister Asmodeus is here to see Father."

Looking for Azir?

The Flower Goddess was taken aback.

Why is the guardian of justice looking for Azir?

Considering things from the perspective of previous, habitual thinking...

Azir, how many things are you hiding from me?

...

"Ah!"

"Strange, you have a cold?"

Liyue Harbor.

Su Chen rubbed his nose and muttered something in puzzlement.

"Brother Su Chen, what's wrong?" the young master asked.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Su Chen waved his hand and smiled faintly. "Let's go, we'll go to Sumeru first, and then we'll venture into the Abyss!"

...

Chapter 167 Fanes: My soldiers, advance! [Please subscribe]

Threesome.

Just entered Sumeru.

Su Chen was full of vigor and high spirits.

"Great Sage?!"

"Great Sage, you've returned?"

"Oh my god, the Great Sage has returned!!"

"Where where?"

"Look, there's also a young nobleman and... a bodyguard with him?"

As soon as Su Chen and his two companions entered Sumeru City, they were surrounded by a sea of ​​gazes.

"Wow~ the people of Sumeru are really enthusiastic." The young master was a sunny and cheerful boy who didn't care at all about being called a bodyguard. After all, Su Chen was the governor of Zhidong and worked for the Empress. What was wrong with him being Su Chen's bodyguard?

Besides, where else can you find such a good opportunity as following the governor to fight in the abyss?

Su Chen laughed and said, "You'll be even more enthusiastic if you go to the desert."

"The desert?" The young master was eager to try. "I've heard that the gilded guilds there are quite good, they're good at fighting, and there are those ascendants... Hehe~ I've wanted to challenge them for a long time."

Zhongli said gently, "From a purely rational perspective, with your current strength, challenging an ascendant would be a certain death."

The young master's smile froze, and he said indignantly, "Mr. Zhongli, you don't have to be so harsh on me, do you? There was at least a sliver of a possibility..."

“Escape,” Zhongli said. There was still a slight chance of escape, because the Ascended might not necessarily want to kill him. After all, the young master was the executive officer of the Winter Kingdom, and Shurima was currently focused on production and development, so fighting was a rare occurrence.

Of course, if they encounter Renekton, the outcome is hard to predict.

The young master no longer wanted to speak to Zhongli.

"Great Sage, you have returned!"

A scholar ran this way.

Su Chen took a look and realized it was Ramsey, one of the members of the Sumeru Envoy Group.

"Ramsey, you're back too?"

“Yes, we came back with the Great Tree King’s group, but when we looked for you, the Fontaine officials said you had already left.” Ramsey said excitedly, “We still haven’t heard from you when we got back, and everyone was worried about us.”

Su Chen chuckled: "Is everyone else alright?"

"No, no, it's all good... Lord Hein, did you return this time for the Recognition of Tibet?"

"Look at what you're saying. Sumeru is my home. Can't I come back if there's nothing wrong?"

"Yes, yes... Speaking of which, did you know that the Little Grass God presided over the Day of Knowledge of Hidden Treasures? A foreign deity visited Sumeru, and the Grass God has been traveling around with her these past two days."

"An alien deity?" Su Chen's mind raced. "Is it someone with white hair and golden eyes, that tall, and very, very beautiful?"

Ramsey shook his head: "All I know is that it's white hair."

How can one look directly at the gods?

He only knew from afar that the god had white hair and seemed quite tall; he knew nothing else. What the god looked like was none of their business. For mortals, when they encountered a god, they simply worshipped him.

But Su Chen found it somewhat appealing. The only god who could come to Sumeru at this time was Asmodeus.

He looked at Zhongli, who nodded slightly, clearly agreeing.

"Okay, that's all for you."

Su Chen waved his hand, telling Ramsey, the tool, to go cool off somewhere else.

Then he walked straight towards Jingshan Palace.

"Zhongli, when you see Asmodeus later, you have to put in a good word for him," Su Chen said. "You cost me over two hundred million Mora. If you don't help me with this, I won't consider you a friend anymore."

Zhongli corrected, "The more than two hundred million Mora were spent by Asmodeus."

"It's all the same. If you don't help her, how will she know that buying things costs money? She might just run away somewhere."

"..."

Zhong Li thought that if he really took more than 200 million Mora without paying, Liyue Harbor would be in chaos, and he would be the one in trouble.

"Hey, who exactly is this Asmodeus you guys are talking about? Is she really that good at fighting?" the young master asked curiously.

Zhongli didn't say anything.

He was also very curious about the relationship between Su Chen and Asmodeus.

Why did Su Chen venture into the abyss?

Why did you ask Asmodeus to come along?

And why would Asmodeus help him?

"She's incredibly skilled in combat." Su Chen nodded. "You can try challenging her later, young master."

The young master rubbed his hands together, eager for a fight: "Hehe~ As long as the opponent is worthy of my battle, I will go all out!"

"Well, come on."

The three of them were talking.

Along the way, the guards who passed by all bowed to Su Chen.
