But how is this possible!

Even their closest confidants didn't know.

How would an outsider know?

But with everything laid bare before them, it was hard for them not to believe it.

To confirm, Risui asked directly:

"You knew all along that the Emperor was a mortal incarnation?"

The question left Su Ming somewhat bewildered.

But when he thought about whether Zhongli, the sixth brother, had seen the communication stone he left in the teahouse, he understood.

Su Ming didn't hide anything and said:

"I wouldn't say I know him, but I do possess a certain ability to calculate."

"It can deduce the true identity of the person in disguise with a high probability."

"That's why I left the communication stone in the teahouse, so that I could find the Emperor as soon as possible."

He couldn't possibly say he'd played Genshin Impact and knew everything about the story.

That would be too far-fetched to say, and no one would believe it or understand it.

Therefore, this method was devised to explain it.

And Risui and the other person believed this explanation.

Otherwise, there is no other reason to explain it.

However, even though I believed it, I was still somewhat incredulous and shocked.

"The art of divination?"

"Does such extraordinary magic really exist in the world?"

After a while, my emotions gradually calmed down.

The two of them were insightful, knowing that there are always higher mountains and more capable people out there, and that anything is possible.

Just because they can't reach it doesn't mean others can't.

Moreover, the two of them were very curious about Su Ming's background and identity from the very beginning, as he gave them a feeling of being unfathomable.

This bizarre method of calculation further confirms their senses.

"I see, then everything makes sense."

After explaining the water, he continued:

"The Emperor is waiting for my explanation. I need to explain to him. Please wait a moment."

"Okay, I'll wait."

Then, by harnessing the power of the immortals, he reconnected with Zhongli.

After the connection was established, Zhongli hurriedly asked:

"So, have you uncovered the truth?"

Li Shui nodded slightly. "Everything has come to light."

"That's how Your Majesty is..."

He told Zhong Li everything that had happened since he met Su Ming.

Given Zhongli's intelligence, there's not much need for further explanation.

He quickly understood.

However, they were also incredulous about Su Ming's identity and methods.

Such a person is too mysterious and unpredictable.

Even he felt threatened.

He can't just ignore this kind of person.

"I understand. Tell the other party to go to the Yanshang Tea House. I'll talk to him myself."

"Yes, Your Majesty, is now the time?"

"Ah."

Then Li Shui contacted Su Ming again and told him that Zhong Li was waiting for him at the Yan Shang Tea House.

Upon learning this, Su Ming did not bring anyone with him.

Head to Iwagami Tea House alone.

……

Iwagami Teahouse.

Zhong Li was already waiting in a private room.

As soon as Su Ming arrived, the innkeeper led him into a private room.

"Gentlemen, please let me know if you need anything else."

"Go."

After the shopkeeper left, Su Ming took a closer look at Zhong Li.

Zhong Li was also sizing up Su Ming.

Su Ming looked at Zhong Li, who looked much like the character in the original story, and didn't feel much.

The only thing is that this sixth brother concealed his aura very well.

If it weren't for the proximity.

They couldn't detect the powerful aura the other party was hiding at all.

The key point is that this is all based on the premise that Su Ming himself is quite strong.

If it were someone else, it would be difficult to notice.

They would definitely think Zhongli is just an ordinary person.

After sizing each other up for a while, Zhongli finally spoke slowly:

"Your Excellency, please take a seat."

Su Ming didn't stand on ceremony, "Okay."

Then take your seat directly opposite.

Zhongli waited until the other person was seated before taking his own seat.

He even personally poured hot tea for Su Ming.

"This is spring tea, perfect for this time of year. Please have a taste."

"Hmm." Su Ming picked up the teacup, smelled the tea aroma, and could smell a unique fragrance. Then he took a sip.

After putting down the teacup, he said:

"Yes, it's really delicious."

Zhongli nodded slightly before getting to the point:

"Let's get down to business."

Su Ming seemed to have anticipated this response and chuckled, "Please speak, I can answer all your questions."

Zhong Li bluntly stated:

"I have learned about your intentions from Lishui and the others. You want to hold a world-class culinary competition in Liyue."

"I will allow Risui and his companions to assist me in this competition, but before they do, I hope you can answer some of my questions truthfully."

He had no qualms about participating in world culinary competitions.

On the contrary, they felt that this would promote friendly relations between countries.

This will be of great benefit to the development of Liyue.

But the other party's identity was too mysterious and their methods too bizarre.

Without ascertaining the other party's identity, he dared not rashly agree to anything or offer any assistance, lest he be aiding and abetting evil.

Su Ming took another sip of tea. "Ask away. As long as I can answer, I will answer to the best of my knowledge."

Zhongli said calmly:

“I heard from Lishui that you have no ill intentions towards Liyue, and that you only wanted to hold the food competition.”

"But you need motivation to do anything."

“For someone like you, simply organizing a secular competition is clearly not a motive.”

"Therefore, could you reveal some more secret aspects?"

He naturally didn't believe that someone as mysterious and profound as Su Ming was only interested in organizing a competition.

This is like wielding a large knife just to kill an ant—a waste of its potential, which is hard to believe.

Su Ming was also having a headache over this problem.

He can't exactly say that he did it for a system task, can he?

However, if I don't say it that way, it would be hard for people to believe me, especially since my identity and background are still unknown.

Zhongli is a god of Liyue.

Their level of caution was even greater than that of the people from Lishui.

If a reasonable explanation cannot be given, it will be difficult for the other party to believe it.

After thinking for a moment, Su Ming decided not to try to explain with some fabricated reason or rhetoric, and finally said, "Even if I told you the real purpose, you wouldn't understand."

"But I can tell you that I have no ill intentions toward Liyue or the world as a whole, and the tournament I am holding will not cause any harm or impact."

"In other words, if I truly harbored malice towards this world, I could easily destroy it!"

The last sentence left no room for doubt.

Moreover, his body unleashed an invisible pressure that pressed down on Zhongli, causing Zhongli to feel the pressure of a mountain, his face to turn solemn, and cold sweat to break out.

At this moment, Zhongli could sense that if the other party wanted to kill him, it would be an easy task.

He also firmly believed that the other party truly had the ability to destroy the world.

The other person gave him a feeling that was even more terrifying than the one from Sky Island.

Although the other party's explanation was forceful, it was also the best explanation.

Faced with overwhelming and irresistible power.

... 0

Even if you know the real purpose, what's the point?

Zhongli sighed softly, deciding not to delve into the matter further. "I understand."

"However, I would like to ask you one last question."

Su Ming was very patient. "Go ahead and ask."

"Can you tell me where you're from?" This is the question Zhongli wants to ask most right now.

Su Ming possesses terrifying strength.

It made him feel that the other person was definitely not a native of this world.

It is highly likely that he is an outsider like the one from Sky Island.

Su Ming also frankly stated:
