Genshin Impact: The traitor doesn't even let his senior sister go

Song Yinjian picked up the teapot and filled Zhongli's cup with tea again.

After putting down the teapot, he looked at Gan Wei with a look of reminiscence on his face, and said, "Your master, Uncle Tian, ​​and I have known each other for a long time, and we had some business dealings before.

At that time, whenever I pointed out something wrong with you three brothers, he would immediately turn against me."

When Gan Wei heard this, his face turned red with shame.

Uncle Tian treated me very well on weekdays, but I became resentful of him because I couldn't take over the Seven Stars, and even wanted to kill him.

"I...I'm sorry, Master." Gan Wei lowered his head, his voice filled with guilt and self-blame.

Song Yinjian continued, "Now your junior brother Zhiyi intends to use your identity as an entry point to slander your master and Qixing as the murderers of the Emperor."

Hearing this, Gan Wei raised his head, his eyes revealing a determination, "I will stand up and explain the truth. I will never let Master suffer injustice."

A meaningful smile appeared on Song Yinjian's face. "So, who assassinated the Emperor? And who blamed everything on your master and the other Seven Stars?"

Gan Wei instantly understood what he meant and answered decisively, "It was Zhiyi, the Fatui, and the major chambers of commerce. They colluded with each other and orchestrated this conspiracy."

Song Yinjian was quite satisfied with his answer and nodded slightly. "Just stay here for the time being. I can guarantee that you can keep your life after this is accomplished."

At this point, he pointed to the sky with an unfathomable look on his face, "I have someone above me."

Seeing this, Gan Wei quickly responded, "Boss Song, I will definitely follow your arrangements."

...................................

In the attic opposite the Northland Bank, the afternoon sunlight shines through the window onto the ground, creating patches of mottled light and shadow.

Ying stood in front of the window, frowning slightly, a look of worry on her face.

Paimon hung his head and said with a guilty look on his face, "I'm sorry, Traveler. It's all my fault. If I hadn't suggested escaping, you wouldn't have been treated as a fugitive."

Ying gently waved her hand. "This is my own decision. I don't blame you. I'm just worried that it will affect Boss Song Yinjian."

When Paimeng heard this, she felt even more guilty. She had a good impression of Song Yinjian, who could cook a table full of delicious food.

"It's all my fault. I'm going to give myself an ugly nickname, Idiot Paimon. This way, every time you call me that, I'll be able to remind myself not to act stupid again."

Ying felt better after hearing her words.

As they were talking, Tartaglia walked in with brisk steps.

He brought good news, "Ningguang has ordered the pursuit of you to stop."

Ying and Paimon's originally nervous and worried hearts relaxed.

Then, they turned their attention to the major event of the Emperor's assassination.

Ying asked, "Has the assassin of the Emperor been found?"

Tartaglia crossed his arms and replied solemnly, "He hasn't been found yet, but after some investigation, his identity has been confirmed. He is Gan Wei, the eldest disciple of Tianshu, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue."

Upon hearing this, Ying's face showed astonishment, her eyes slightly widened, and she said in disbelief, "Could it be that Tianshu ordered the assassination of the Emperor? How is this possible?"

Tartaglia sighed, "Although this is indeed hard to believe, we cannot rule out this possibility until the truth is revealed.

What's even more strange is the attitude of the Seven Stars; they seem quite resistant to investigating the Emperor's assassination."

His words were very misleading, deliberately making the simple-minded Ying believe that Qixing was the murderer behind the assassination of the Emperor.

Then, Tartaglia looked at Ying and said seriously, "I would like to ask you for a favor. Tell the immortals of Liyue what happened in Liyue."

"Immortal?" Ying looked confused.

Tartaglia nodded, "Yes, only they can check and balance the Seven Stars at the moment."

Ying thought for a moment and then agreed, "I'll help you with this."

Afterwards, Tartaglia informed Ying of the immortal's information.

Ying did not hesitate and immediately took Paimeng to Ao Zang Mountain.

Chapter 90 Seeking Death

Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.

Inside the magnificent reception room, Zhiyi wore a confident smile, bowed slightly, and said politely, "President Xingyun, please sign your name on this list."

As he spoke, he handed a list with many signatures to Xingyun who was standing in front of him.

Xingyun came closer and looked at it carefully with focused eyes. He found that the names on it were all presidents of major chambers of commerce.

He was extremely conflicted, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Mr. Zhiyi, our Feiyun Chamber of Commerce only wants to do business honestly. We really don't want to get involved in this matter."

Zhiyi was not at all surprised by his rejection.

This is the nature of businessmen. They always want to make huge profits, but once faced with risks, they will hesitate and look back.

He chuckled and said, "President Xingyun, I heard that many years ago, Feiyun Chamber of Commerce was the leader in the jade industry.

However, within just a few years, the turnover was tragically reduced to one-tenth of its peak period.

Have you never thought about the reason?"

When Xingyun heard this, a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

Of course he had thought about it, and he was very clear about the reasons, but he was powerless to change it.

Because the competitor is Ningguang's Qun Yu Chamber of Commerce.

Zhiyi continued to persuade him, "President Xingyun, as long as we can find out the truth about the Emperor's assassination and make it public, the Qunyu Chamber of Commerce will collapse in an instant.

By then, Feiyun Chamber of Commerce will surely be able to regain its former glory."

Xingyun was really excited and almost signed his name on the list on the spot.

However, he finally declined hesitantly, "Mr. Zhiyi, you see, this has already been signed by the presidents of all the major chambers of commerce. It carries enough weight, and one more person like me won't make much difference."

As soon as the words fell, Zhiyi's face, which had been smiling, suddenly turned gloomy, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. "President Xingyun, if you don't sign this list, you will be standing against the people of Liyue and all the chambers of commerce."

When Xingyun heard this, he couldn't help but feel flustered. After thinking for a while, he picked up the pen and prepared to sign the list.

At this critical moment, an urgent voice suddenly came from the door, "Dad, you must not sign!!!"

I saw his eldest son Xingchun running in hurriedly from outside the door, his steps were quick and his face was full of anxiety.

After running in front of Xingyun, he stood still, took a few deep breaths, calmed his breathing, and then said in a firm tone: "Dad, we must not get involved in this matter."

Zhiyi frowned, looked at Xingchun with displeasure, and scolded him, "Master Xingchun, what do you mean by this? Are you going to watch Feiyun Chamber of Commerce being placed in an unjust situation?"

Xingchun ignored him, looking at Xingyun with a determined gaze, and said, "Dad, I just consulted Master Song, and he gave me a saying, 'Be both wise and prudent to protect yourself.'"

After hearing what his son said, Xingyun silently repeated to himself, "Be both wise and prudent to protect yourself," and immediately made a decision in his heart.

He took a deep breath, turned to face Zhiyi, and said in a calm and firm tone: "Mr. Zhiyi, I will not sign this list."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Zhiyi stopped trying to persuade him. He put the list away and said coldly, "If he becomes a Seven Star one day, Feiyun Chamber of Commerce will disappear into thin air!"

After saying that, he turned away.

Xingyun's face showed a trace of worry. "Chun'er, if they really bring down the Liyue Seven Stars, then I'm afraid Feiyun Chamber of Commerce will be in immediate trouble."

Xingchun looked very relaxed. "Dad, don't worry. Immortal Master Song's methods and knowledge are far superior to ours. Since he asked us to protect ourselves, then this is the best option."

Xingyun thought of the Immortal Sending Ceremony that he had collaborated on not long ago. That extremely clever marketing method made Feiyun Chamber of Commerce earn a lot of money.

He nodded and agreed, "Chun'er, you're right. By the way, your brother Xingqiu, why haven't I seen him lately?"

Xingchun replied rather helplessly, "He went to Tongque Temple to look for Chongyun again."

Upon hearing this, Xingyun sighed deeply.

..............................................................

Zhiyi worked non-stop for three days and finally succeeded in getting the presidents of all the major chambers of commerce to sign their names on the list, except for the Feiyun and Qunyu chambers of commerce.

There are more than fifty people on this list, each of whom occupies an important position in their respective industries.

Zhiyi took the list to the Qun Yu Pavilion and presented it to Ningguang personally.

Ningguang sat at her desk, holding an exquisite and luxurious pipe in one hand and a list in the other. She glanced at it casually and then placed the list on the table.

Zhiyi asked nervously, "Lord Ningguang, I've brought the list you requested. I think the people on it should be important enough!"

Ningguang replied calmly, "That's quite impressive indeed. You are now the leader of the joint investigation team. So, please begin your performance."

When Zhiyi heard this, he felt as if he was a clown being urged to perform on stage.

He suppressed the humiliation and anger in his heart and said, "I need to temporarily mobilize the power of the Qianyan Army."

Ningguang looked up at him and said coldly, "No."

Zhiyi responded firmly, "Then, during the investigation, Qixing is not allowed to mobilize the Qianyan Army. If a deployment is necessary, the joint investigation team must be informed in advance. This is our bottom line."

Ningguang pondered for a moment, then replied, "Yes."

When Zhiyi heard this, a hint of joy involuntarily appeared between his brows.

Then he turned and said goodbye and left.

Ningguang picked up the list on the table and laughed contemptuously, "You're really courting death!"

Then, she called her secretary, Bai Wen, and handed her the list: "Send this list to the Fairy Envoy Gan Yu."

After Bai Wen took the list, he immediately turned around and left.

Chapter 91 It’s the Emperor’s Idea

On the platform at the top of Ao Zang Mountain, there is a gentle breeze and lingering clouds and mist.

After a difficult journey of climbing mountains and wading through water, Ying finally saw Liuyun in the form of a white crane.

Then, she recounted the entire story of the Emperor's assassination in detail.

"How can this be?"

After hearing this, Liu Yun's bright eyes were filled with shock and confusion. He felt that all this was too absurd.

Regardless of who assassinated the Rock Emperor, the fact that he died is outrageous.

He is the most powerful earthly ruler in the world, almost invincible!

Ying nodded affirmatively and said firmly, "It's true. I was there and saw with my own eyes that the Emperor fell directly from the sky."

Although she spoke with certainty, Liu Yun still found it difficult to completely believe it.

She paced back and forth on the platform, and after a moment's thought, she said, "I will first go to Liyue Harbor to inquire with my disciple Song Yinjian. He is currently in Liyue Harbor and may know more about the situation."

Ying was startled when she heard this, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she asked, "Are you Boss Song's master?"

"Exactly." Liu Yun asked doubtfully, "Do you know him?"

After knowing that Liu Yun was actually Song Yinjian's master, Ying inexplicably felt a sense of intimacy and respect for her.

Then, she briefly recounted what she had experienced in the immortal rituals.

After listening to this, Liu Yun frowned slightly. He vaguely felt that Ying seemed to have some affection for his traitor, and a trace of anger rose in his heart.

She coughed lightly and said, "This situation is urgent and we cannot delay any longer. You can go find True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang and explain the matter to him in detail. I will go to Liyue Harbor now."

"Yeah." Ying responded.

Then, Liuyun spread its broad white wings and flew rapidly towards Liyue Harbor.

Half an hour later, she appeared in the courtyard of the immortal rituals.

However, the scene before her left her speechless.

I saw Zhongli and his three disciples Ganyu, Shenhe and Song Yinjian sitting around a table, playing mahjong with great interest.

The sound of mahjong tiles colliding on the table was endless, as if they were completely unaware of the major changes happening outside.

"Master, why are you here? Come over here and touch it!"

As soon as Song Yinjian saw Liu Yun, he immediately stood up from his seat, walked towards her with enthusiasm, and opened his arms to hug her.

Liu Yun flashed and shook off his hug that was intended to contain ulterior motives.

Then, she instantly changed into human form, walked lightly with lotus steps, and went straight to the table and sat in the seat where Song Yinjian had just sat.

Gan Yu and Shen He saw their master coming and immediately stopped what they were doing, stood up respectfully, and shouted in unison, "Master."

Liu Yun nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Zhongli, a look of confusion and inquiry in his eyes. "Emperor, today a traveler named Ying told me that you were assassinated. What exactly happened?"
