He had already gone blind as soon as he arrived in Genshin Impact.

Upon hearing this, Barbara gently shook her head and slowly spoke.

"Sister, you've read the letter too. Little Demiurge isn't coming back to Mondstadt."

"So I will stay with him."

Qin paused for a moment before speaking.

"You don't want to come back to Mondstadt?"

"Yes."

Jean looked up at Barbara and could feel the seriousness in her eyes; Barbara really didn't want to go back to Mondstadt.

I felt a bit emotional; it's like having your own white radish grow out of your own yard to chase after a pig—it's hard to describe.

Moreover, it seems that even if he refuses, his younger sister will probably leave secretly, just in a different way.

"Okay, I understand."

"I'll ask Diluc-senpai."

"I'll let you know when I get news."

"besides."

Jean got up from her seat, went to Barbara, gently hugged her, and whispered something.

"be careful."

This was the blessing she could offer as an older sister.

"Okay, thank you, sister, I understand."

The two sisters shared a brief moment of tenderness...

—On the day of the Seven Stars Invitation Ceremony

The "Seven Stars Inviting Immortals Ceremony" has begun. According to people around, this year, one of the seven stars, Tianquan Star Ningguang, will preside over the ceremony. Wu Di and his group arrived at the scene early to wait.

Even so early, the surrounding area was bustling with noise, indicating that many people, especially merchants, had high expectations for this "Seven Stars Inviting Immortals Ceremony".

The very center of the ritual to invite the immortals was already filled with offerings, each one seemingly prepared with care, especially the large incense burner in the center, which was very eye-catching.

At this moment, a woman dressed in a cheongsam and with a hairpin in her hair arrived at the scene, accompanied by others, and immediately gasped in surprise.

"It's Lady Ningguang from Tianquan Star! She's here."

"Lady Ningguang is still so beautiful."

"Lord Ningguang!"

The crowd's cheers made Wu Di realize the identity of the woman with the rock element: Ningguang, one of the Seven Stars, Tianquan Star.

Ningguang remained unmoved amidst the cheers of the crowd, maintaining her elegant smile and showing no sign of being affected.

At that moment, Wu Di sensed the rock element above his head. He looked up and saw a creature made of rock element, appearing and disappearing in the clouds.

(Is that the Rock King Emperor? But why...?)

(It feels like an empty shell?)

Just as Wu Di was feeling puzzled, he heard Ningguang's voice.

"The auspicious time has arrived."

When you look at Ningguang, a gem made of rock element has appeared beside her. As the rock element enters the incense burner, a golden light shoots into the sky and gathers into a cloud.

But then something strange happened: the clouds turned into dark clouds mixed with lightning, and a huge figure fell from the sky.

boom!

They destroyed all the offerings, causing gasps of surprise from those around them. What had happened?

Ningguang looked at the familiar figure in front of her, and walked forward in disbelief, squatting down to examine it.

He then stood up abruptly, waved his hand, and spoke with an extremely serious expression.

"The Emperor has been murdered! Seal off the entire area!"

Immediately afterwards, the Thousand Rock Army surrounded the place from all sides, while Ying and Paimon were dumbfounded.

Oh no, the god we're looking for has died on the spot! What should we do?

Gui Zhong's voice echoed in Wu Di's mind, and his words carried a hint of sarcasm.

(What is this stinky rock doing? Why did it drop an empty shell?)

(Could he be faking his death to escape? But why would he do that? It can't be that he wants to retire.)

Listening to Gui Zhong's mutterings in his mind, Wu Di glanced at Qian Yanjun, who was starting to check passersby.

However, I didn't do anything, after all, why would I needlessly increase my own suspicion?

Meanwhile, Ying and Paimon, who had recovered from their shock, came to Wu Di's side and began to talk quietly.

"What should we do, Xiaodi? Should we stay and cooperate with the investigation?"

"Yes, it looks like the Thousand Rock Army is questioning those at the front. We're among the front, so we won't get arrested, will we?"

Hearing their uneasy words, Wu Di chuckled twice and then offered words of comfort.

"Haha, don't worry, it wasn't us who did it, why are you so worried?"

Chapter 46 Keeping a Mistress in a Golden House?

Immediately afterwards, Wu Di saw a group of Qianyan soldiers walking towards them, and he whispered to Ying and Paimon.

"They're here, so cooperate well."

"Hello, I heard from the people around here that you are among the earlier travelers to arrive here. Also, could you please take off your masks?"

Qian Yanjun spoke very politely, and Wu Di also took off the fox mask. Immediately, several gasps were heard.

Clearly, Wu Di's appearance shocked Qian Yanjun. The leader pinched his thigh hard a few times before he came to his senses and spoke in a trembling voice.

"Hello, have you encountered any suspicious people since you arrived here?"

Clearly, the leader mistook Wu Di for some rich young lady, and his tone became respectful as well.

Thanks to the cooperation of Wu Di and his group, the conversation was quickly completed.

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation. Could you please tell me your name and address? We will let you know if we need anything else."

"Okay, my name is Wu Di, and these two are Ying and Paimeng. The inn we are staying at for the time being is Yuesheng (made up)."

"You said your name is Wu Di?"

"Yes? Is there a problem?"

Wu Di was a little confused. Was there something wrong with his name?

The leader of the Qianyan Army exchanged a few words with his companions, and then spoke to Wu Di.

"The Ningguang Lord of Tianquan Star is looking for you. Please come with us."

"Hmm? Can my friends come along?"

"No, Lady Ningguang only asks of you."

"Really? Then I'll tell my friend."

"OK, all right."

Wu Di turned around and led Ying and Paimon to the side, speaking softly.

"It looks like I have to go."

"Xiao Di, can you not go?"

"Yeah, we're not familiar with her at all, so why would she want to see you? Could it be that she's after your good looks?"

Paimon's words made Wu Di chuckle twice, and then he spoke softly.

"Haha, impossible. You know, everyone else thought I was a woman the first time they saw me, let alone that one. Besides, she was a woman."

Paimon glanced at Ying beside him and spoke ambiguously.

"Hard to say."

"Don't worry, don't forget my strength. I'll be right back."

"okay."

Ying had no choice but to let Wu Di leave with Qian Yanjun. Before leaving, Wu Di waved and loudly told them to go back to the inn and wait.

Watching Wu Di's departing figure, Ying and Paimon listened to his words and headed towards the inn.

But Ying's mind was racing; she kept thinking about why Ningguang wanted to see Wu Di.

Could it be that Ningguang, like her, was attracted to Xiaodi's good looks and took advantage of their meeting to force herself on her?

Is Ningguang planning to imprison Xiaodi? And then keep her hidden away like a mistress?! I'm so envious...no, I'm so angry!

Could it be that Ningguang...?

Countless thoughts arose in Ying's mind, each one filled with envy! Faintly, one could also see white steam rising from the top of her head.

Just as Ying was having a mental battle, a figure blocked their way and spoke cheerfully.

"I see your friend has been taken away by the Thousand Rock Army. Do you need any help?"

——Qunyu Pavilion

Wu Di followed Qian Yanjun to a rock. The person standing next to him told Wu Di to stand on it and keep his balance, and then the rock flew up.

Wu Di found it all very magical, especially when he looked up and saw the building floating in the sky, which made him even more awestruck.

At this moment, Gui Zhong in Wu Di's mind sensed his shock and began to explain.

(The structure above includes the stone beneath your feet, but it is built upon a material called "Mingxia Floating Stone.")

(Of course, what you're standing on is just the "Floating Life Stone".)

(But I never imagined that people in this era would be able to build structures of this scale?)

Hearing Gui Zhong's words in his mind, Wu Di finally understood. However, why did Ning Guang from Tianquan Star want to see him?
