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

Su Chen, who was enjoying a sunbath, opened his eyes and saw a familiar figure.

“I heard that the delegation has been restricted in their freedom. Rustan, you haven’t been targeted by the Seven Stars, have you?” Lady Rosalyn asked with a worried expression. “Those guys aren’t so reasonable.”

"What could possibly be wrong with me?" Su Chen chuckled. "When did you arrive?"

"I've been here for a while, secretly plotting all along. Rustan, do you know? Morax isn't actually dead!"

The woman recounted her experience here to Su Chen.

Following the Queen's orders, she came to Morax to retrieve the Heart of God, but in fact, this whole affair was orchestrated by the latter himself... That being said, the people of Liyue certainly didn't know, and as an outsider, Su Chen encountered all this, and the lady was worried that Qixing would go crazy and bite people, so she risked coming to see for herself.

This situation is not impossible, but Su Chen felt that if the Seven Stars really wanted to find a scapegoat, the Fools were definitely more likely to be the one.

"What exactly is that Doctor doing in Liyue?" Su Chen changed the subject.

"Hmph! Nobody knows what that guy is thinking, but he's a selfish bastard. I even suspect he'd easily betray the Queen for his own purposes." The lady didn't have a good impression of the Doctor.

Rather, she didn't have a good impression of the Fatui's executors.

Even so, it must be admitted that the doctor's strength is really strong.

"Maybe he just wants to study the Xuanyuan Sword. At least I haven't heard of any missions being given to the Doctor within the Fatui."

"Is that so? That's fine then." Su Chen nodded slightly. He wasn't quite sure which slice of the Doctor had come here, and the latter was too powerful. Killing him wouldn't be easy, and the immortals around him weren't quite suitable.

If Ruo Tuo were here... Su Chen planned to take some time to go and see him. Logically speaking, Ruo Tuo's current condition should be much better than in the original story.

"I have to go now."

The woman glanced around.

She was not a member of the Fools' diplomatic corps. The sudden appearance of a foreign executive at the embassy, ​​especially during such a sensitive time, could easily cause trouble.

"Russtan, you must be careful. If you encounter any accidents, come to me. No matter what danger you face, I will stay by your side."

The gentle voice faded away with the cold wind, and soon a squad of Thousand Rock Army soldiers entered the embassy to begin investigating the 'assassination of the Emperor'.

The results were no surprise.

The Mondstadt allies were initially excluded, but Ying was listed as a suspect. Even though she was an honorary knight of Mondstadt, her ability to draw the Xuanyuan Sword was enough to raise suspicion.

Young Master was also suspected; he was one of the initial targets of investigation. In addition, there was the Doctor. Su Chen soon learned that Seven Stars had issued a nationwide manhunt for the Doctor.

Although there is no evidence, the doctor's actions some time ago were enough for Seven Stars to capture him and tear him apart.

As for Su Chen, because of his connection with Ningguang and the fact that he was originally from Liyue, he was released from the embassy that evening.

However, Qian Yanjun advised Su Chen not to go out at this time.

Because you never know when knives or darts might fly out from the corner, and they might even be poisoned.

Chaos! If it weren't for the entire Thousand Rock Army being mobilized, along with the disciples of the Hundred Arts Academy suppressing the situation, things would be much worse than they are now.

"You all stay here and don't wander around. I'm going out for a walk."

Su Chen said to Ying and Paimon.

"Waaah~ Su Chen, please don't leave us behind!" Paimon cried pitifully.

Su Chen was speechless. Don't talk like I'm about to die.

Seeing Ying's worried face, Su Chen chuckled and said, "It's alright, things will be back to normal soon."

"Really?" Ying couldn't imagine what kind of chaos a country would descend into if a god died.

"At least you know that the Geo Archon isn't the god who took your brother away... Hmm, while you can still look around Liyue's various historical sites and think about where to dig for treasure, and where to go after leaving Liyue, Inazuma or Sumeru are both good choices."

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Ying and Paimon immediately sprang into action.

"Traveler, traveler, I think we can go to Tianheng Mountain to dig up the Emperor's treasure..."

I heard two people whispering behind me.

Su Chen paused, then walked out of the embassy.

"Waaaaah~ Your Majesty, Your Majesty is really already..."

"How could this happen? Everything was fine yesterday."

"The Emperor has protected Liyue for thousands of years. Without the Emperor, does Liyue really have a future?"

"With the Emperor away, will those demon gods attack Liyue?"

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!!!"

The streets and alleys were filled with people shouting and screaming, crying and banging their heads on the ground, but overall the situation was better than Su Chen had expected.

Leaving the embassy, ​​I came to a fork in the road. The right path led to the Hall of the Emperor. Flowerbeds lined both sides of the road, filled with lilies and irises. A large warning sign was placed at the entrance.

—The Emperor's Palace is a sacred place; unauthorized personnel are not permitted to enter.

This place should have been heavily guarded by the Thousand Rock Army, but most of the troops had been mobilized to maintain order in the port, leaving few people around. With a little trickery, Su Chen secretly returned to his home.

"I wonder if Zhongli is here."

Su Chen had intended to surprise his old friend, but instead, he found a lone coconut sheep in the courtyard of the Emperor's Palace.

Sweet rain?

Su Chen was taken aback, then laughed, recalling the image of little Gan Yu following him back then, her big hand holding her little hand.

"Not here...and not here either..."

As Gan Yu walked and searched, her expression gradually became anxious, showing signs of grievance, panic, and helplessness...

"What are you looking for?" a gentle voice suddenly rang out.

"Eh?"

Gan Yu paused, frozen in place.

"Shall I help you look for it?"

She turned around quickly, staring incredulously, and opened her mouth: "Brother Xuanyuan...?"

Su Chen smiled faintly: "I'm so happy that Xiao Ganyu still remembers me."

"Brother Xuanyuan?"

She reached out, touching it cautiously, then touching it again. Her hand felt warm, her cheek felt soft. Was this a dream? Was it really not a dream?... Gan Yu thought incredulously.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew by, and the sound preceded the person's arrival—

"Gan Yu, you're here! I've finally found you! There's something I'll only tell you, so please don't tell anyone else!"

The light flashed by, transforming into the impatient figure of Liu Yun.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that not only Gan Yu was there, but also...

"The Human Emperor?!" Liu Yun's bird feathers bristled.

Su Chen smiled kindly and said, "Liu Yun, you've come at the right time. There's something I want to tell you, but you mustn't tell anyone else."

"No, no... Your Majesty, I have other matters to attend to. I just remembered that the Emperor entrusted me with something... See you next time."

Liu Yun was shocked and tried to escape, but the magic around her feet bound her in place.

"Don't rush off. The Emperor has passed away. You can still tell me what you want to say."

"Your Majesty, calm down!!!"

Watching her two closest relatives exchanging pleasantries, Gan Yu tilted her head, completely bewildered as to what was happening.

...

After some communication, True Lord Liuyun deeply realized his mistake and promised the Human Emperor that he would never do it again.

"So True Lord Liuyun already knew that Brother Xuanyuan had returned?"

Gan Yu, who had been listening quietly, pouted somewhat in dissatisfaction.

"Your junior sister Shen He knows too." Liu Yun snorted lightly. "You can't blame me for that. I wanted to tell you, but you weren't here."

In fact, Gan Yu has not been in Liyue Harbor at all these days. She was arranged by Qixing to liaise with the Hundred Arts Academy to deal with the Xuanyuan Sword matter. After all, she has participated in the Immortal Invitation Ceremony countless times, and as an immortal, it is normal for her to be absent.

That's why Liu Yun has been flying around Liyue for the past two days in order to tell Gan Yu the news, and only found her today.

But to everyone's surprise, Su Chen happened to run into them.

Even more unexpectedly, the Emperor actually collapsed?

Who spread this news? Are they an idiot? How can they be even less reliable than her?

Liu Yun felt that although he wasn't a little bit tight-lipped, at least the news never lied. What was said was said. And now, looking at the rumors circulating in Liyue Harbor that the Emperor was gone and Liyue was gone, he scoffed. Humans are getting dumber and dumber.

"Is the Emperor really not dead?" Gan Yu asked blankly.

"Of course! If the Emperor has truly passed away, how could I not sense it?" Liu Yun said nonchalantly. "However, the Emperor must have made a mistake in doing this, so it's best if we don't interfere."

Gan Yu didn't believe Liu Yun and turned to Su Chen for confirmation.

Su Chen chuckled and said, "He is indeed not dead."

"But Liyue is a complete mess right now..."

"This is his goal, isn't it? Not only Liyue Harbor, but Guili Village will probably be thrown into chaos as well."

Gan Yu asked, puzzled, "Then, Brother Xuanyuan, what... what should I do?"

"Just handle things normally, appease the people, and maintain order. The Seven Stars are probably already overwhelmed."

This era not only has Liyue Harbor, but also Guili Village. Although the worship of the Human Emperor is more fervent there, the Emperor is, after all, a guardian deity. The fall of a god has an undeniable impact.

Upon hearing this, Gan Yu realized that her brother Xuanyuan was right. She shouldn't be staying here now, but should go and fulfill her duties. Even though the Emperor wasn't dead, the fact remained that chaos was brewing in Liyue.

"I'm leaving."

After Gan Yu finished speaking, she paused, then took small steps to stand in front of Su Chen, head bowed, her voice soft—"Brother Xuanyuan, hug...hug..."

Su Chen smiled faintly, gave him a gentle hug, and patted his head, saying, "Go ahead."

Gan Yu smiled and left with light steps.

"Hmph! I've never seen this child before, even after following me for thousands of years," Liu Yun said with a hint of sourness.

Who among the immortals understands? The child I raised is not as close to me as someone else.

Whether it's Gan Yu or Shen He, can't they come back to visit this immortal more often?
