Chapter 264 The Secret That Cannot Be Told

"Why are you causing such trouble, Liuyun!"

The other immortals stopped Liuyun Jiefeng from making this dangerous suggestion and explained.

"How can ordinary people have eyes like us to see what's happening in the sky?"

"In their opinion, isn't it the sudden death of the Emperor that makes them panic?"

"We can't do anything, so what can they do?"

"The life span of mortals is no more than a hundred years. They have never seen the sea rising and the mountains changing when the Emperor defeated the Demon God. Naturally, they don't know the big commotion that will occur after the Demon God dies."

"So, don't mess around!"

Being scolded by others, Liuyun Jiefeng could only sulk alone, feeling anxious that he could not help.

They all knew that the Emperor would never die so easily, but in other words, if the Emperor was in danger in an unknown space, they really would be unable to help.

At the same time, in a space that no one knows and cannot discover, what are Yao Luo and Zhongli doing?
The answer is, drink tea.

The last blow just now was enough to decide the winner. The two were not fighting to the death, but just exchanging martial arts and making this "retirement ceremony" more realistic.

Although, the commotion seemed to be a little bit bigger than "billion".

"Come, Brother Zhong, try the good tea I collected from other worlds!"

Yao Luo transformed into a set of tables and chairs in the void, with tea sets and tea leaves prepared, and sat down with Zhongli.

"Great tea. I didn't expect the world is so big. There are so many things I can't imagine."

The dark-haired, calm gentleman picked up a cup of special tea collected by Yao Luo from the Starry Sky World.

When leaving Luofu, Yao Luo took away a lot of good things from Jing Yuan's house, and tea was one of them.

"The tea is dense and bright in the mouth, and the tea foam between the cup body and the tea foam is superb. It is indeed a good tea from overseas."

Zhongli sighed sincerely. Although he had lived for a long time, he had no experience of traveling to other worlds. It was unique for him to be able to drink tea and ask questions like this.

Yao Luo, holding a cup of "Fairy Happy Tea", which is milk tea, started drinking it by himself.

The situation the two are in now is neither within the continent of Teyvat nor beyond this world. To be precise, it should be said that they are in a "crack between worlds."

"Here, we should be able to talk in peace."

Yao Luo said lightly that on that continent, all actions seemed to be observed by a vague sight. Gods like Zhongli and Wendy who obviously knew something were unable to say it for various reasons. All this came from one thing.

Justice of nature.

He is not the "maintainer of heaven's law" that Kongying and his sister met at the beginning, but the real god who shaped this continent and the current structure of the world.

The Seven Rulers of the Earthly Realm are seven beings who have survived the war between demons and gods through various means. They either obtained the status of gods by accident, or shouldered important responsibilities from the beginning, or were people like Zhongli who fought their way out of a chaotic land.

But without exception, they are all subject to one God, which is the natural order of things today.

Zhongli stopped holding the teacup, and golden light flickered in his eyes, as if testing some kind of boundary.

Finally, he shook his head.

"Still not working?"

Yao Luo sighed and did not force anything. As the God of Contract, Zhongli would never violate the contract himself at any time. As for things outside the contract, if he could tell him at this moment, Yao Luo believed that he would not be stingy.

"Then let's talk about something more relaxing. My clone is protecting the traveler who came to Liyue and will not let her get involved in this dispute. If it were you, you would do the same, right?"

Zhongli nodded. He also sensed the arrival of that traveler the moment he came into contact with the Seven-Day Statue and resonated with the rock element after entering this country.

"She is an important 'witness'. If you are willing to protect her, I will naturally support you."

"Don't worry. I am only guiding her in this chaotic and noisy flow. She is a traveler who has traveled through various worlds just like me. I don't need to worry about her future."

Yao Luo waved his hand. Ying was very similar to the stars in the Starry Sky World, but also had many differences.

If Xing is a queen with a girl's heart, then Ying is just the opposite. Under her childish appearance, she has an unexpectedly tough soul, and she has probably experienced a lot more than she thought.

Therefore, he just needs to "witness" this moment. As for what kind of mark he wants to leave in this world, it all depends on his mood.

However, an interesting idea suddenly emerged in his mind.

"If I let the two of them meet, what kind of sparks will they create?"

The scene of Xing and Ying acting together emerged in Yao Luo's mind, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Just like that, Yao Luo and Zhongli talked about some issues related to Liyue's food and specialties in this chaotic space, and prepared to leave this space.

"Oh, I have a suggestion."

"please say."

Zhongli looked at this special friend, expecting him to ask some good questions for him.

"Remember, save some pocket money for yourself!"

After saying that, Yao Luo left Zhongli, who was thinking "from a universal rational point of view", and cut through the space and left.

Outside Yujing Terrace.

"Well, where are you taking us?"

Paimeng and Ying followed Yao Luo out of the area most at the center of the unrest. This distance could be considered safe.

Yao Luo turned around, and a gleam of light flashed between his pupils. This is one of the characteristics of returning to the original body.

"You also know that you are highly suspected of being at the scene at that time."

"Yes, so what? You suddenly showed up and you have such skills, so you are a big suspect!"

Paimon is worthy of being the "God's Mouth" of Ying. He began to communicate and test Yao Luo flexibly.

Yao Luo folded his arms across his chest and gave the two people a suggestion in a friendly manner.

"If I were you, I would either stay out of the spotlight in this chaos or find the real murderer to prove my innocence."

Yao Luo's words were exactly what Ying was thinking. She left there in the beginning because she still had some hostility towards the gods. Now, it was obviously not worth it for her to face an opponent who could kill the gods.

"So do you have a good place to hide? And what will it cost us?"

Ying talked to Yao Luo calmly. She knew that there was no free kindness in the world. This man was willing to help them, obviously with other intentions.

Seeing the prey taken the bait, Yao Luo opened a secret door behind him and spoke to the duo.

"You can leave Liyue temporarily through this secret door. My request is simple. I hope you can talk more with a girl named Xing when you meet her."

"It's that simple?"

Ying and Paimon looked at each other. It sounded like Yao Luo's request was to let them talk to a girl who might have mental problems without paying the price of Mora. This way, they could easily get rid of suspicion, which was obviously a good deal for them.

Moreover, even if there is a trap in this secret door, they can't run far. At least, they can't run abroad all of a sudden, right?

So, Paimon and Ying walked into the door doubtfully. After trying it out again, they finally felt relieved and walked in.

At the last moment before the door closed, they heard Yao Luo's instructions.

"Seven days. After seven days, just find a door and say to yourself, 'I want to come back'!"

The door closed completely, but the scenery behind the door suddenly changed, leaving the duo dumbfounded.

The cold wind made them shiver in their thin clothes. What came into view was a world of ice and snow that seemed to have no end. In the distance, there was a magnificent city that looked very reassuring.

The two looked at each other, full of question marks.

"Have we arrived at the Kingdom of Winter?"
