In Genshin Impact, I'm really not Muzan.

Liang Gongyou did not go with him, but returned to the inn after some time.

With about four hours until dawn, Ryou Miyako didn't plan to sleep because he didn't need to rest.

However, he wouldn't seek out targets to hunt; if he were to make a move here and Keqing discovered him, it would be troublesome.

So he went back to his room, intending to wait there until dawn.

Just then, Suzumiya Yu heard a tapping sound coming from the ceiling. The tapping sound was rhythmic, one after another.

Moreover, his room was on the top floor, and there were no other guest rooms above it, meaning that the other party was knocking on the roof of the inn with something.

But why would he do that? Even if someone is doing construction on the roof, they wouldn't make that kind of noise, would they? It doesn't sound like construction at all.

Suzumiya Yuu felt something was strange, so he decided to go to the roof to take a look.

He left the room. Because it was late at night, the inn was very quiet, and even the sound of his feet on the wooden floor could be heard clearly.

Liang Gongyou arrived at the top of Wangshu Inn, a rooftop terrace where people occasionally come to enjoy the scenery, but most of the time no one comes.

The evening breeze gently blew the leaves from the book, spreading them thinly on the ground. Ryou carefully walked onto the rooftop, spreading her senses around her.

But... there was nothing there. There was no one there at all, and the knocking sound could not be heard at all.

Just as he was wondering about this, suddenly, a sense of crisis came from behind, accompanied by a cold glint.

Suzumiya Yu reacted quickly, drawing her weapon from her waist and slashing behind her.

The next second, a loud metallic clanging sound rang out, as if the once quiet night had suddenly become boiling over.

Ryou looked ahead and discovered that the person who attacked her was actually a boy, and he was quite familiar with that boy.

She is the last of the Guardian Yakshas, ​​and also a five-star wind-type spear character in the game—Xiao.

Liang Gongyou should have realized it was him long ago. As a celestial being, Xiao had always used Wangshu Inn as his base. She didn't know why, since most celestial beings were unwilling to get so close to humans.

Furthermore, Xiao is skilled at interacting with humans, yet he chose Wangshu Inn as his base. Perhaps Suzumiya Yu didn't investigate the reasons behind this, which is why she didn't know.

However, now is not the time to pay attention to these things. Xiao has now come after her, and Suzumiya Yu must be extremely careful.

He wasn't afraid that he couldn't defeat Xiao, but rather that Xiao would recognize him. As a guardian yaksha, he was constantly searching for evil spirits on the land of Liyue.

Suzumiya Yu didn't know if he could be considered an evil spirit, but he knew very well that if Xiao knew his identity, he would kill him at all costs.

However, Suzumiya Yu didn't sense any malice from him, meaning he had no intention of killing her. As for the attack just now, it was probably just a test.

Just like Grandma Ping, he felt that his aura was different from that of ordinary people, so he found it strange and used the method he had just used to test the truth.

As it turned out, Xiao didn't recognize his identity, so Suzumiya Yu didn't have to go on a killing spree here.

She had finally managed to build a good relationship with Keqing, and if Xiao were to ruin it, Suzumiya Yu couldn't imagine what cruel things she would do.

"Strange..." Xiao stroked his chin as the attack was blocked by Suzumiya Yu. "Despite such a sudden attack, you didn't show any sign of panic. You... you're not human, are you?"

As expected of a sage, he could tell at a glance that Ryougu was not human. However, Xiao could not determine whether he would pose a threat to humans, so he did not act rashly.

The immortals have dutifully protected Liyue for thousands of years, but that is no excuse for their indiscriminate killing.

Chapter 170 The Immortal's Judgment

"Are you an immortal?" Ryou Miyabi narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing Xiao from head to toe. "I've heard that there are powerful beings in Liyue called immortals, whose strength far surpasses that of ordinary people. But...aren't immortals supposed to live deep in the mountains? Why are you here at a human inn?"

Suzumiya Yu acted as if she didn't recognize Xiao, but in fact, she was extremely familiar with Xiao because he was the first main DPS character in the game.

If it weren't for her incredible luck in pulling Xiao, Suzumiya Yu wouldn't have known how she would have gotten through the beginner phase.

"The immortals aren't as heartless as you think, but we're definitely not enthusiastic either. I'm just curious because you give me a bad feeling." Xiao crossed his arms, speaking in such a calm tone, yet giving off an air of arrogance.

"You don't feel good about me? Uh... could you be more specific about what it is?" Ryouji's eyes narrowed slightly. He was somewhat surprised. Although Xiao didn't recognize him, he could sense an unpleasant aura emanating from him.

Even Grandma Ping didn't feel that way; she was only surprised by his composure.

This may be related to Xiao's past. In the early stages of the Demon God War, Xiao was bewitched by a demon god and committed countless cruel and bloody acts.

He committed numerous acts of killing, shattered many ideals, and was even forced to consume the dreams of the defeated, suffering immense pain yet powerless to resist.

Until Morax appeared, defeated the demon who had bewitched him, and brought him to Liyue, where he became a guardian yaksha to protect the land in order to atone for his past mistakes.

He sensed a bad aura emanating from Ryougu, perhaps because Ryougu was somewhat similar to the demon god of the past, both of whom forcibly controlled someone and made them do things for them.

Fortunately, Xiao did not include him in the kill list because of this. After all, Suzumiya Yuu had never done anything to harm the people of Liyue, so Xiao had no reason to take action against him.

"I can't describe it, and I have nothing to say." Xiao refused to answer Suzumiya Yu's question directly, perhaps because the past was something he couldn't bear to recall.

“Since you are not that evil spirit, then go back.” After saying that, Xiao was about to leave, but Liang Gongyou suddenly called him back.

"Wait a minute!" Xiao stopped and looked at Suzumiya Yu. "Have you heard about what's happened at Shimen recently?"

Suzumiya Yu was eager to know whether Xiao knew what had happened at the Stone Gate. Did he not know, or did he know but choose not to pay attention?

“I’ve heard of it.” Xiao’s answer surprised Suzumiya Yu. “The evildoers are not malevolent spirits, but external perpetrators. They are not my hunting targets, so I can only leave them to humans to deal with.”

Immortals are principled. They will lend a helping hand to humans when necessary, but under normal circumstances, even if they know that humans are suffering, they will not easily intervene.

Especially now that Liyue has officially entered the era of human rule, the opportunities for the immortals to take action are becoming fewer and fewer. Xiao is alright, after all, he is a guardian yaksha, and his targets are the resentment left by the demon god and various evil spirits.

Demonic resentment and evil spirits are generally intangible, but Rosalyn and the others are flesh and blood. Perhaps knowing this, Xiao did not concern himself with the stone gate.

In his view, that was outside his jurisdiction, so it had to be left to humans to handle.

Hearing this, Suzumiya Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since Xiao wouldn't make a move, he didn't need to worry too much about Rosalind and the others.

Unless they are at the level of immortals, such as the Thousand Rock Army or the holders of the Eye of God, they are basically no match for Rosalind and her group.

The more flesh and blood a demon devours, the stronger it becomes. However, at the level of Suzumiya Yu, the improvement gained from devouring flesh and blood is negligible, unlike Rosalyn and the others.

They have a lot of room to grow, and they can become stronger by constantly devouring flesh and blood over the next ten or even several decades.

When they reach their peak, their strength may be no less than that of a sage, especially Rosalyn, who, as an executive officer of the Fatui before becoming a demon, possessed power comparable to that of a sage.

Suzumiya Yu was somewhat curious: if her blood couldn't work on gods, could it turn immortals into demons?

To verify this hypothesis, he will definitely find an immortal as an experimental subject in the future. If immortals can be turned into ghosts, then his requirements for selecting the Twelve Ghost Months will have to be raised again.

......

Xiao was unwilling to have much interaction with Ryoumi, so he left quickly. Ryoumi did not stop him, but returned to her room and sat there until dawn the next day.

As soon as it was light, the group set off. While it was still early, they had to cross Guili Plain before nightfall to greatly reduce the possibility of being attacked by monsters.

They moved quite quickly, and by dusk they had crossed Guili Plain and arrived at a place surrounded by mountains.

Once they pass through here, they can see Liyue Harbor.

“After we return to Liyue Harbor, you can come with me to Yujingtai. Speaking of which... you probably don’t have a house in Liyue, right?” On the way, Keqing suddenly asked Suzumiya Yui this question.

"Of course not. I've only been in Liyue for less than a month, and I've only been to Liyue Harbor once. How could I possibly have time to buy a house in Liyue? Besides, the prices in Liyue are so high. How could I possibly afford a house with the little Mora I have?"

Suzumiya Yu answered Keqing's question.

"Really? In that case, you can stay at my place for now. Hopefully, there are extra rooms available." Ke Qing stroked her chin, thinking seriously.

This left Ryouya stunned. He could hardly believe his ears. Keqing actually wanted him to stay at her house temporarily? What kind of plot development was this? Could it be that she, like Ying, was an easy target to capture?

Ryou was secretly delighted, but when he actually arrived at Keqing's house, he was immediately shocked by what he saw.

Keqing's house is not an ordinary house, but a large courtyard house, just like the courtyard house of the Kamisato family.

Inside, you can see many people coming and going, some dressed in luxurious clothes, while others are dressed as servants.

It was only then that Suzumiya Yu remembered that Keqing seemed to come from a prestigious family.

In other words, she was originally a rich young lady who became the star of Yuheng by virtue of her outstanding abilities, and it was not the kind of commoner's rise to power that one might imagine.

Chapter 171 Keqing Brings a Man Home

"This is my home. I'm so sorry it's a bit noisy, but I hope you can get used to it." Ke Qing casually led Liang Gongyou into the courtyard and greeted everyone she met.

Suzumiya Yu was surprised that the noble Lady Yuheng would get along so well with commoners, but since most of the people here were her family, it wasn't surprising.

"Sister Keqing!" Just then, a slightly childish voice rang out. Ryouko looked over and couldn't help but be stunned.

It was a little girl with long purple hair tied in pigtails at the back, and two hairs tied up on top of her head that looked like rice dumplings. She looked very young, only about ten years old, and was very tiny.

Good heavens, is this Keqing's alt account? Even if they are blood relatives, they look way too alike.

"Long time no see, Moon, have you missed me?" Keqing gave a maternal smile, then bent down and gently stroked the head of the smaller Keqing.

"Yes, Yue'er misses you so much! You haven't been home for over half a month." Ke Qing nodded vigorously, her cute and playful appearance making one want to pinch her cheeks.

However, when she saw Suzumiya Yu standing behind Keqing, she started backing away as if she had seen a ghost.

Both of them were puzzled by her action, but before they could react, she turned and ran into a house.

Not only that, she also shouted a sentence loudly.

"Oh no! Auntie! Sister Keqing has brought a man back!"

Her shout was so loud that it could be heard throughout the entire courtyard, drawing everyone's attention and making the two of them extremely embarrassed.

Ryou's lips twitched involuntarily. The other party was clearly just a little girl of about ten years old, so why would she say something that even he found difficult to say?

That makes sense, kids will be kids, they're not careful with their words. But isn't this a bit too precocious? Is she really only ten years old?

"Um... please forgive me, that's my aunt's child, named Yue'er. She's been taught some things that she shouldn't understand at her age." Ke Qing turned to Liang Gongyou to apologize.

Suzumiya Yu didn't think much of it, but her intuition told her that things definitely wouldn't end so easily, and that something even more infuriating was about to happen.

Sure enough, not long after Yue'er ran into the house, the originally closed gate was suddenly pushed open by an inexplicable force, and then a woman who looked to be about thirty-four years old came out.

She rushed forward with superhuman speed, grabbed Keqing's wrist with lightning speed, and dragged her into the house. Before closing the door, she glanced at Suzumiya Yu, who was standing there.

"Ah... what was that just now? Keqing's super size?"

......

"Mother, what are you doing?" Ke Qing was dragged into the house by the woman and forcibly pressed into a chair.

Besides the woman, Yue'er, who had just run in to deliver the news, was also in the room. Both of them were looking at her with serious expressions, as if they were discussing something important.

"Ah Qing, your mother has never done anything too harsh to you, has she?" Ke Qing's mother asked earnestly.

"Of course not, when has Mother ever done anything wrong to me?"

"If that's the case, why didn't you tell your mother immediately when you found another man outside?"
