While I was in Mondstadt, I never imagined becoming a god.

Once the immortals learn of the Emperor's demise, they will inevitably question the Seven Stars.

When the Celestials exert pressure and the Seven Stars respond, chaos is bound to ensue throughout Liyue Harbor.

The fools, on the other hand, can calmly devise their plans amidst the chaos.

"I can act as Liyue's spies among the Fatui."

Ying's voice interrupted Ningguang's thoughts.

The girl's gaze was firm, showing no sign of backing down.

"Young master, you are unaware that you have withdrawn the warrant for my arrest, nor are you aware that I have made contact with Seven Stars."

“I can pretend to follow his instructions and go to Jueyun Pass, and take the opportunity to find out what the Fools are plotting in the dark.”

She paused for a moment, then stated her conditions.

"In return, I hope the Seven Stars of Liyue can help me find my brother's whereabouts."

Xu Chuan quietly looked at Ying.

From Mondstadt to Liyue, this girl's search for her brother has never stopped.

Now, she is moving towards her goal in her own way.

Keqing and Ningguang exchanged a glance.

I'm just looking for one person.

For Tianquan, who controls the entire intelligence network of Liyue Harbor, this is hardly a condition.

"I have no reason to refuse this deal."

Ningguang agreed almost without hesitation.

“I will not leave Miss Ying to bear the burden of this foolish matter alone. I will arrange for people to assist you and ensure your safety.”

Ying nodded without refusing.

"As for the immortals..." Ningguang turned to Ganyu, "I'll trouble you, Ganyu, to negotiate with them."

"We hope that the immortals can understand the Emperor's matter."

"Seven Stars did not mean to be negligent; it was just that things happened suddenly. I don't want the immortals to harbor resentment towards Seven Stars because of this."

Gan Yu bowed slightly and agreed to the matter.

She herself possessed the body of a half-immortal and had a blood connection with the immortals of Jueyun.

She is more suitable than any ordinary person to negotiate on her behalf.

When the news of the assassination attempt on the Emperor reached the ears of the immortals, how would they react?

Gan Yu sighed inwardly.

This trip is unlikely to be easy.

"Fairy?"

Paimon tilted her head, scratched her head, and suddenly turned sharply towards Xu Chuan as if she had remembered something.

"Oh right! Xu Chuan, don't you also know immortals?"

Chapter 86 Immortal Summoning Technique

As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes in the hall immediately turned to Xu Chuan.

Ningguang paused slightly in the hand holding the teacup.

Ke Qing raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise flashing in her purple eyes.

Gan Yu's tired eyes widened slightly.

Yan Fei turned her head and stared directly at Xu Chuan.

Does Xu Chuan know immortals?

"I didn't expect that Lord Xu Chuan would actually know the Liyue Immortals."

Ke Qing spoke first, her tone filled with undisguised curiosity, "May I ask which immortal you are?"

Yan Fei's thoughts raced even faster.

Grandma said Xu Chuan had a connection with immortals. She thought it was just a compliment to his calm and peaceful aura, but she never expected that this guy would actually know immortals.

Grandma Ping's judgment of people was indeed never wrong.

Seeing everyone looking at her expectantly, Paimon immediately puffed out her little chest.

The feeling of "I know things you don't know" made her feel like she was floating on air.

"Yes, yes!"

Her tone carried a hint of pride, as if it were she herself who knew the immortal, not Xu Chuan.

"Xu Chuan was escorted to Liyue by a celestial being! That celestial being's name is..."

She frowned, trying hard to recall the somewhat difficult-to-pronounce name.

"It seems to be some kind of demon-slaying saint."

Paimon.

Ying glanced helplessly at Paimon, then hesitated to speak.

But the words have already been spoken.

"The Great Sage Who Subdues Demons?!"

Gan Yu's voice unconsciously rose a few decibels.

The usually gentle and mild-mannered secretary, Yue Haiting, was now filled with surprise.

She looked at Xu Chuan, and a rare glimmer of light appeared in her tired eyes.

"Does Lord Xu Chuan know the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons?"

Her tone was filled with disbelief.

As far as she knew, that guardian yaksha sage was always elusive and rarely seen.

He exorcised demons in the Dihua Isle area and fought against the remnants of demon gods.

And this person was actually escorted to Liyue by the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons himself?

The atmosphere in the hall subtly changed.

They were escorted by the Great Sage Who Subdued Demons.

This is not as simple as just meeting an immortal.

What kind of being is the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons?

Who exactly is this Xu Chuan?

"Lord Xu Chuan, you are truly a man of great talent."

Ningguang was the first to come to her senses, and the smile on her lips was a bit more genuine than before.

"It seems you're quite confident about this deal with me."

Xu Chuan remained expressionless. "Lady Ningguang's words make it sound as if I'm taking advantage of someone's misfortune."

His tone was relaxed, as if he were joking with an old friend.

“If we’re talking about taking advantage of someone’s misfortune…” A mischievous glint flashed in Ningguang’s eyes, “then there has to be a danger to take advantage of.”

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

The atmosphere in the hall relaxed a little.

But then Xu Chuan said something else.

"Lady Ningguang previously said that she would cover the expenses of me, Ying, Paimon and me in Liyue."

He stood up and straightened his clothes.

"In return for your kindness, I will also lend a hand to Lady Ningguang."

Before anyone could react to what he meant, Xu Chuan continued speaking.

"If you want to find an immortal, you don't need to go through all that trouble."

His tone was flat, as if he were talking about something trivial.

“I can call Xiao over so that this immortal can talk to you face to face, which will save Miss Gan Yu from having to travel all the way to Jueyun Pass.”

Summon the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons!

"you……"

Ke Qing opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but then felt that whatever she said would be inappropriate.

"Seriously?" Yan Fei finished speaking for her.

Paimon flew over to Ying's side and muttered to himself.

"I have a feeling that Xu Chuan is more popular in Liyue than in Mondstadt..."

Ying didn't speak, but just watched Xu Chuan's back, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved into a smile.

Outside the Qunyu Pavilion, the sun shines brightly.

The sea breeze blows from afar, carrying a salty, damp scent, brushing past the thousands of sails in Liyue Harbor.

This ancient commercial port remains bustling and lively even after the emperor's departure.

Xu Chuan stood in the center of the platform, followed by a group of people.

Ningguang, Keqing, Ganyu, Yanfei, Ying, and Paimon all stared at his back, their eyes filled with such intense anticipation that it was almost overflowing.

"Lord Xu Chuan, is it really possible to accomplish this with just a single call?"

Xu Chuan didn't explain further.

Following the method Xiao had instructed him to use before parting, he took a deep breath and called out loudly towards the distant sky:

"elf!"

The sound echoed on the open platform, carried by the sea breeze and scattered into the sky.

one second.

two seconds.

Three seconds passed.

A while passed, but nothing happened.

The platform was so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard.

Ningguang maintained a polite smile, but her gaze began to shift slightly.

Ke Qing crossed her arms and lightly touched the ground with her toes.

Yan Fei coughed lightly, pretending to admire the scenery in the distance.

Paimon looked around and, making sure he didn't see any immortals, quietly flew to Xu Chuan's side and whispered, "Did that immortal stand you up?"

Her tone carried a hint of cautious comfort, as if she was afraid that Xu Chuan would lose face.

"Don't worry, he's not that kind of person." Xu Chuan's expression remained unchanged.

“But…” Paimon hadn’t finished speaking.

A voice came from above.

"Why did you call me?"

Everyone looked up abruptly.

A figure appeared on the eaves of the Qunyu Pavilion at some unknown time.

He was a boy, tall and slender.

What is most striking is the Nuo mask on his face, with its blue face and fangs, making him look ferocious and terrifying.
