Chapter 181 The Power of Order ( words)
Liyue·Jade Pavilion.

Ever since the accident at the Qingxian Dianyi ceremony, the place has never stopped being busy.

A large number of staff members shuttle here.

There are Yue Haiting’s secretary and intelligence personnel from the General Affairs Department.

Tianquan Office.

"The fools who spread the rumors have been arrested, and some people who followed suit and caused chaos have also been dealt with."

Ye Lan reported to Ning Guang.

“Have you found the executive officer?” Ningguang asked in a serious tone, rubbing his brows.

All the Fatui in Liyue combined are not as important as that one executive.

The most important thing is that the other party has a talisman with no taboos.

It's too dangerous when the emperor 'leaves'.

After suppressing the internal unrest, Qixing immediately wanted to control Tartaglia first.

But although Tartaglia's mind is full of fighting, he is not stupid.
After leaving Yujingtai, he did not return to Beiguo Bank, but hid himself.

This time, he showed what an executive should be like.

No matter how hard Ye Lan looked, she couldn't find him.

"I can't find him. I suspect he has left Liyue Harbor." Ye Lan said in a deep voice.

"Impossible. Wang Hao said that the Fatui's target is the Emperor's Heart of God. He will not leave until he gets it."

Ningguang looked out the window, not knowing what she was thinking.

The sudden misfortune of the Emperor disrupted many plans.

In Ningguang's opinion, Wang Hao's previous test plan had gone out of control.

At least if the Emperor dies, will the Fatui open the seal and force the Emperor to appear?

Isn't this a rebuttal?

Therefore, the Fatui will definitely change their plan of action.

As long as you put yourself in the Fatui's perspective, you can deduce their thoughts.

They came to find the heart of God.
And the Heart of God belongs to the Emperor.

Then, their next goal is not to force the emperor to show up, after all, the emperor has already suffered.

"He will definitely find the place where we keep the emperor's divine body, which is the Golden House."

Ningguang easily deduced Tartaglia's next move.

"Do you need me to send someone to guard the Golden House?"

Ye Lan asked.

Ningguang thought for a moment, then shook her head: "No, now you are in the light and he is in the dark. If you send people to the Golden House now, it will expose the emperor's divine body."

Ningguang was certain that the Fatui executive was watching everything in Liyue from behind.
Especially the actions of the Qianyan Army and the General Affairs Department's spies,

Once there is an abnormal mobilization, he can find the pattern from it and discover that the emperor's body is in the Golden House.

"That?"

"Notify Wang Hao and have him guard the Golden House. The executive officer has the Hundred Taboos Talisman, and Wang Hao has countermeasures. He is also strong enough to deal with the executive officer."

Ningguang said to Ye Lan.

Ye Lan nodded: "Okay, I'll send someone to notify them right away."

"No, go inform Keqing and ask her to go find Wang Hao and try to avoid being discovered by the Fatui."

"it is good."

As the two were talking, a terrifying aura suddenly came from outside the Qun Yu Pavilion.

Ningguang and Ye Lan looked at each other and both realized how powerful the person who came was.

Soon, Bai Wen entered the office: "Master Tianquan, an immortal is here."

Ningguang stood up from behind her desk. "Ye Lan, go inform Keqing and Uncle Tian, ​​and call Wang Hao as well. I'll go greet the immortal."

Ye Lan nodded and turned to leave.

at the same time,

On the terrace of the Qun Yu Pavilion,
The tall deer body of True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang stood here, surrounded by some Qianyan soldiers and maids from the Qun Yu Pavilion looking at him with respect and admiration.

This is normal,

Many Liyue people grew up listening to stories about the Emperor and the Immortals.

I have a natural filter for immortals.

In addition, this time when True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang came, he did not come with anger. Instead, he was in a calm mood, and his aura was grand and ethereal, which completely matched the Liyue people's imagination of immortals.

Soon,
The gate of Qunyu Pavilion opened.

Ningguang led the group out of the Jade Pavilion and walked calmly to the presence of True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang.

"Tianquan Ningguang, I'm honored to meet you, Master."

Ningguang looked calm and bowed.

True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang looked down at her and said, "No need to be polite. Tell me quickly whether the matter of the Emperor is true or false."

Hearing this, Ningguang’s face was filled with sorrow: “The Emperor’s suffering is a great misfortune for Liyue.”

True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang's face was trembling, and he could hardly suppress his horror: "How could this be, how could this be!"

As his mind lost control, his overwhelming aura made the ordinary people around him unsteady on their feet.

"Please accept my condolences, my Lord."

Ningguang shouted.

True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang came to his senses and began to restrain his aura.

He lowered his head and looked at Ningguang again: "The Emperor is in trouble, what do you want to do?"

"It has been more than 3,700 years since the Emperor and the immortals protected Liyue and established it. Now that the Emperor is in trouble, Liyue cannot change lightly. If there is any major event, I am willing to discuss it with the immortals."

Ningguang said calmly.

These remarks were prepared long ago.

The Emperor is in trouble, what do the immortals fear the most?
What they fear most is the Emperor's final legacy and the fact that he is forgotten.

So, what is the last legacy of the Emperor?

It’s Liyue!
The Emperor's greatest masterpiece is Liyue, which he has protected for 3,700 years.

This is the result of joint efforts of the Emperor and the Immortals.

Therefore, after discussing, Wang Hao and Ningguang decided that they still needed to express their attitude to the immortal.

Although the Emperor suffered and the dragon passed away, the rules of Liyue will not change.
The Seven Stars Society would take the initiative to introduce immortals to participate in government affairs.

Of course, the immortals would not really interfere in everything.
Most of the Liyue immortals do not like to participate in management, but it is okay to let them live and play among the people.

But if they don't want it, you have to show your attitude.

Therefore,
Seeing Ningguang act like this, True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang was very pleased.

The fact that the Seven Stars are willing to discuss important matters with the Immortals shows that the Seven Stars have no selfish motives.

This means that even if the Emperor passes away in misfortune, Liyue will not deviate from the Emperor's expectations.

This is enough to satisfy Master Xueyue Zhuyang.

"Tianquan has a heart."

True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang praised him, and then said,

"Where is the emperor's divine body?"

Ningguang immediately replied: "There are thieves coveting it, so I placed the divine body in the Golden House."

"Huh? Who dares to covet the emperor's divine body!" True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang spoke angrily.

The emotions that had just subsided suddenly resurfaced.

He knew that Liyue must be unstable now, so he came to the Jade Pavilion. In addition to asking about the Emperor, he also wanted to help Qixing stabilize Liyue.

The reputation of the immortal is still very useful in Liyue. At least, with the appearance of the immortal, Liyue will definitely be stabilized.

But he didn't expect that there would be someone who dared to covet the emperor's divine body.

The mere thought of Xueyue Zhuyang Zhenjun made him unable to bear such blasphemous things.

"It's the Fatui. They are collecting the Heart of God, so they will definitely offend the Emperor's divine body."

Ningguang answered directly.

This was also what she and Wang Hao had discussed.
Introducing immortals into Liyue's current situation,
No matter how the Seven Stars and the Immortals coexist, conflicts are bound to arise.

So, what is the best way to resolve internal conflicts?
Either there is a strong hand to suppress it, or a new thought form is reconstructed.
But neither of these two is suitable for Liyue today.

So, Wang Hao and Ningguang chose a lazy approach.

Internal contradictions turn into external conflicts.

In addition to the Seven Stars and the Immortals, there is another external enemy factor, namely the Fatui.

In the presence of external enemies, internal conflicts are usually suppressed.

Of course, it may also turn into internal and external troubles.

But whether it is the Seven Stars or the immortals, they are not short-sighted people. When faced with external enemies, they will consider the overall situation.

The Seven Stars want to stabilize Liyue and even develop it better.

The immortal must ensure that Liyue will not forget the Emperor, and that the Emperor's body is intact.

Therefore, both sides will put aside their internal conflicts and work together to deal with the enemy, the Fatui.

Well, let the fools suffer a little more, and let them bear the blame.

"Fools, fools."

There was murderous intent in the eyes of Master Xueyue Zhuyang, and his gaze fell on Ningguang: "Since you know the problem, why don't you solve it?"

His tone was grim, cold and merciless.

Don't be fooled by the immortal's ethereal aura.

Don't forget,
The immortals of Liyue all followed the Geo Emperor to fight their way out of the Demon-God War.

Slaughtering all the Fatui in Liyue was not a serious matter for Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang.

Yes, in the opinion of Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang, killing all the Fatui in Liyue would naturally solve the problem.

Crude, but... it works.

Compared with Xueyue Zhuyang Zhenjun, Keqing, who is a radical, seems a little gentle.

Ningguang really wanted to explain to Master Xueyue Zhuyang that killing all the Fatui would lead to a diplomatic breakdown, the closure of the Northern Bank, and a shock to the economy of a large number of Liyue people.

But looking at the cold eyes of Master Xueyue Zhuyang, she felt that the other party probably wouldn't listen to these things.

After thinking for a while, Ningguang said, "The Fatui are quite powerful. If we start a war rashly, it will only cause unrest among the people. The Emperor left suddenly, so we should seek stability now."

Civil unrest.

This word slightly reduced the anger of Master Xueyue Zhuyang.

Yes, Liyue is a country cherished by the Emperor, and we cannot allow the people to become uneasy just because of a few fools.

After his anger subsided a little, True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang looked at Ningguang and asked, "Does Tianquan have any way to deal with this?"

Ningguang replied: "I will send people to guard the Emperor's body and will not let the Fatui succeed."

After a pause, she continued, "The most urgent task is to calm people's hearts. As long as the people of Liyue are united, the Fatui can be easily destroyed."

This is what Master Xueyue Zhuyang likes to hear.

Yes, that's the taste.

This was the case with the people of Liyue during the Demon God War.
Everyone is united and follows the Emperor. Not even the devil can stop Liyue's continued rise.

His expression eased slightly, and True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang nodded his head: "If that's the case, then I will help you calm people's hearts."

After that, he asked Ningguang: "What do you need me to do?"

Ningguang didn't have time to speak.

Wang Hao, Keqing and Tian Shu entered the terrace of Qun Yu Pavilion from outside.

They also heard the words of Master Xueyue Zhuyang.

Wang Hao was delighted, knowing that the plan was successful.

The immortal chose to cooperate with the Seven Stars.

When Qixing expressed his attitude and used Liyue's stability as a prerequisite, the immortal could not refuse.

"True Lord, these are Yuhengxing, Tianshuxing, and Wang Hao, the special commissioner of the General Affairs Department."

Ningguang introduced him to Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang.

Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang looked at the few people, nodded slightly, and said nothing.

However, his eyes fell on Wang Hao.

As an immortal who had experienced the war between demons and gods, he was very familiar with the smell of Wang Hao.

A high-level existence.

"Who is you?"

The deer head stared at Wang Hao, and there was a faint surge of immortal power in the body of Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang.

The Emperor had just suffered persecution when he saw a high-ranking being in Liyue, which made him alert.

Wang Hao looked calm: "I am from Liyue, Wang Hao."

"Are you a human?" True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang questioned.

【Hahahahahahaha, are you human? 】

[No matter how many times I come here, it’s still hilarious. 】

【you are human?】

【you are human?】

【you are human?】

【…】

The barrage of comments was filled with joy.

The last time, when Albedo questioned whether Wang Hao was not a human, they flooded the screen with comments like this.

Wang Hao's mouth twitched, and he said directly: "Of course I am a human, a Liyue person registered in the Liyue household registration."

After a pause, he looked at the still skeptical Master Xueyue Zhuyang.

Wang Hao continued: "I know the confusion of the True Lord, but I don't know about the status either."

Whether you believe it or not, I don’t understand my person anyway.

True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang stared at Wang Hao for a while before nodding: "The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders. I am just too ignorant."

It is an eye-opener that a mortal can give birth to something great.

After saying that, he looked at Ningguang again: "Let's get back to the topic, what do you need me to do?"

“If you don’t mind, I hope you can patrol over Liyue Harbor to calm people’s hearts,” Ningguang said.

To put it bluntly, it was to let Master Xueyue Zhuyang go out and put on a show so that everyone could see him.
In this way, everyone will know that the immortal is still there and is still protecting them.

This way, the anxiety of losing the emperor will be slightly alleviated.

It is convenient for Qixing to further reassure people's hearts.

Upon hearing this, True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang nodded his head and said, "Although I don't like to show up in public, for the sake of Liyue, it doesn't matter."

He agreed.

Ningguang was slightly delighted, then bowed her head and said, "Thank you, Master, for the people of Liyue."

This was also discussed beforehand, to flatter the immortal.

No, it can't be considered as flattery, because the immortals deserve this gift.

All we can say is that we are praising the immortals.

Master Xueyue Zhuyang's eyes softened slightly: "When faced with a disaster, it is a blessing for Liyue that the Seven Stars can remain calm in the face of danger."

Praising each other is the case.

Here, everyone discussed with True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang about how to calm people's hearts.
the other side,
A dark blue streak of light streaked across the sky.
It flew so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye and landed in the courtyard of the Wangsheng Hall.

then,

The Demon-Slayer with a sad face saw Zhongli drinking tea.

"..."

silence,

The two looked at each other in silence.

The Emperor must have some deep meaning behind this because of his serious illness (crossed out).

"Why would the Demon-Subduing Great Sage come to my place?"

Zhongli pointed at the stone bench and motioned Xiao to sit down.

“After hearing the bad news…” Xiao looked strange and sat down in front of Zhongli. “I was shocked and came here to verify it.”

He knew the emperor's identity in the human world very early.

Two years ago, when Wang Hao was coming down the mountain from Guhua Sect, he followed the carriage of Wangsheng Hall and passed by Wangshu Inn.
At that time, Xiao had met Zhongli, and the two talked about Wang Hao.

So, when Xiao heard the news of the Emperor's suffering from Ying,

His first reaction was to come to the Hall of Rebirth for verification.

If Zhongli also disappeared, it would mean that the Emperor was truly in trouble.

Of course, now it seems that this is just another plan of the Emperor.

"Haha, Great Sage Subduing Demons, just pretend you don't know." Zhongli said with a smile.

He now considers himself to be the guest official of Zhongli, and calls Xiao the Great Sage Subduing Demons.

Xiao was a little uncomfortable, but he didn't resist. He nodded to Zhongli and said, "I will follow the Emperor's orders."

"Well, you're not good at hiding, so it's easy to reveal your true identity. How about this, you stay here with me for a while before the show starts."

Zhongli thought about it and was afraid that Xiao might be discovered by other immortals, so he arrested him directly.

Xiao is silent, his acting skills are not bad, it’s just that he doesn’t need to use them normally.

However, since the emperor has spoken, he will just listen.

In the afternoon,

The True Lord of the Moon-Slashing and Sun-Climbing Sect revealed himself and strolled in the sky above Liyue.

The Seven Stars once again informed the people of Liyue that the immortal had returned to Liyue Harbor, and asked the people to rest assured.

In the next few days,
Other immortals were informed by Ying and came to Liyue Harbor.

Then, just like Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang, although they might not be very satisfied with the Seven Stars in their hearts, considering the situation of Liyue as a whole, they still agreed to Ningguang's request.

The immortals either reveal themselves or bestow blessings.

The gloomy atmosphere in Liyue Harbor gradually dissipated.

Although the emperor's departure makes people sad, life must go on.

In addition, the appearance of the immortal now also shows that there is no problem with the Seven Stars.

Since there is no problem with the Seven Stars and the Immortal is here, just cheer up and get on with your life.

The Emperor does not want His people to continue to be depressed.

The Ye Lan faction continued to guide public opinion among the people, and the atmosphere among the people gradually recovered.

In a small dwelling in Liyue Harbor,
Tartaglia was a little annoyed: "Where on earth did they hide the body of the Rock God?"

Because of the search by the General Affairs Department's spies, he had not been back to the Northland Bank for a long time.

These days, he has been moving between the deserted houses in Liyue.

He was very skilled and had never been discovered.

But this also seriously affected the progress of his mission.

Until now, he has not found the place where the Seven Stars stored the Emperor's divine body.

"It's not in the General Affairs Department, nor in Yuehai Pavilion... Could it be in the Qianyan Army Camp?"

Tartaglia racked his brains but couldn't figure out where the divine body would be placed.

He was not familiar with Liyue at all, and he was unable to contact anyone at the Northern Bank, so he was completely at a loss.

"Damn it, if only I could go back to Northland Bank."

He felt angry when he thought of the General Affairs Department spies who were monitoring outside the Northland Bank.

In fact, he didn't know that it was because he didn't go back to Northland Bank that he was able to hide until now.

If I went back to Northland Bank.

As soon as he returned, Ye Lan found out.

Now Andre is not the only double agent of Northland Bank.

Ye Lan never stopped infiltrating Northland Bank.

"Well, I can't go on like this. I have to make some noise. Otherwise, Liyue will become more and more stable, and I will have even less chance."

Tartaglia thought for a while and decided to make some noise. Only by making some noise could the Seven Stars of Liyue become nervous.

So that they can mobilize manpower.

Only in this way will he have a chance to find the pattern and confirm the location of the Rock God.

Thinking of this, Tartaglia did not hesitate, turned around and went out, ready to do something bad.

Bad duck.

At the gate of Liyue Harbor,

After a long journey, Ying finally came back.

"I'm finally back." Paimon rubbed his arm, looking very tired.

Then she looked around again and said, "The atmosphere feels much better. It should be because of the arrival of the immortals."

"Probably, let's go find Wang Hao first." Ying also looked around and indeed there was no longer the atmosphere of sadness and despair that she had before.

"Where should we find it?" Paimon asked, tilting his head.

Ying thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back to the orphanage first."

Anyway, it’s definitely right to go home first.

So the two of them rushed to the new residential area.

She didn't notice that a pedestrian walking by the roadside seemed to look up at her, his ears moved slightly, and then he walked away quickly.
New residential area,

The sunlight shines through the leaves into the alley, making it look particularly warm and bright.

A group of children were playing and laughing, and their laughter filled the whole alley.
Children are always innocent and they are not affected by the Emperor's suffering.

Ying and Paimeng walked through the alley.

Perhaps because she was anxious to see Wang Hao, her pace quickened.

Suddenly, a young man rushed out from the corner.

'bang'

A solid collision.

Ying was knocked to the ground, and the other party also fell down.

"Ying." Paimeng hurried to help Ying.

Ying rubbed her butt, stood up from the ground and looked at the other person.

The other party was also looking at her.

"Sorry, I didn't pay attention." The handsome young man looked apologetic.

Ying looked at him and finally shook her head: "Nothing, I just walked too fast."

The two apologized to each other and then parted ways.

Ying didn't notice that after she left,
However, the young man did not leave immediately, but looked at her back for a long time.

"I didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain. During the Immortal Ceremony, this traveler was standing next to Wang Hao. Following her, perhaps we can find some clues."

The young man was none other than Tartaglia, who was preparing to cause trouble.

After seeing Ying at the gate of Liyue, he immediately adjusted his plan and prepared to follow Ying to see if he could find any clues.

The collision with Ying just now was actually a manipulation of Ying.

Those who understand will understand the methods used in the underworld.

Ying went all the way back to the orphanage.

It just so happened that Wang Hao was at home.

He was supposed to protect the emperor's divine body.
But several True Lords were still worried and they wanted to guard the place themselves, so Wang Hao had nothing to do.

"Wang Hao, we're back." Paimon shouted.

Wang Hao looked at them: "The immortals are coming here one after another. I knew you were going to come back."

"This trip really exhausted me." Paimon floated in the air and wiped the non-existent sweat.

"Really? Then how about I treat you to dinner?" Wang Hao said with a smile.

"Oh, really?" Paimeng was surprised.

Wang Hao nodded: "Of course, how about Liuli Pavilion? I have already booked a private room."

"Wow, a legendary dish has to be served in Qianmora's luxury restaurant!" Paimon's eyes were full of stars.

"It's not that expensive, but it's definitely not cheap." Wang Hao said with a smile.

Xinyuexuan and Liuliting, one focuses on moon dishes and the other focuses on glass dishes.

Many people think that they are a delicacy from the land and the sea.

But in fact, as things have developed to this point, the distinction between the two sides is no longer so clear.

Most of the dishes are available on both sides, with only a few specialties being different.

As for the dish Paimon mentioned that had thousands of Moras,

There are indeed some that are that expensive, but they are rare.

The general dishes cost only a few hundred Mora.

Of course, it’s still expensive.

Paimeng tugged at Ying's clothes and said, "Ying, let's go. Liuli Pavilion, I've never eaten there before."

Ying had no choice but to nod: "Thank you very much."

"Haha, you helped us invite the immortal, I should thank you."

Wang Hao smiled and said, "You can take a rest first. See you at Liuli Pavilion at six o'clock tonight. I'll introduce you to another friend."

"Introduce a friend?" Ying showed a hint of curiosity.

Wang Hao nodded: "Yes, a very powerful person."

Ying became even more curious.
How powerful must one be to be called a powerful person by Wang Hao?

In Wang Hao's eyes, the barrage of comments kept surging.

[It’s so funny, Tartaglia introduced Zhongli to Ying, and Wang Hao also introduced Zhongli to Ying, so Tartaglia = Wang Hao. ]

[The plot is still familiar, but the details are completely different. ]

[Indeed, the Emperor faked his death, and the Immortal came to Liyue, and he was also going to bring Ying to find Zhongli, as if nothing had changed.]

【The main theme is a sneak attack. 】

【…】

The barrage was very optimistic about Wang Hao's series of operations.

They also feel that this kind of change, in which the mainstream trend remains unchanged but the details are completely reversed, is interesting.

"You should rest first. Remember to come to Liuli Pavilion at 6pm. Just tell me my name."

Wang Hao gave another reminder.

Before Ying could speak, Paimeng patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget about the meal."

It’s hard to say anything else, but while eating a piece of it, Paimon thinks he is invincible.

"Then I'll see you then."

Wang Hao waved his hand.
He still has to make an appointment with Zhongli.

Leaving the poorhouse.

Wang Hao suddenly stopped and looked into the alley not far away.
Then he looked away and continued walking out.

The plan went smoothly without any unexpected complications.

All the way to the Hall of Purity,

The Insignificant Master is not here, and Walnut seems to be away too.

Wang Hao did not consider himself an outsider. He greeted the ceremonial officer who stayed behind and went straight to the backyard.

In Zhongli's courtyard,

Xiao was holding a teacup, the tea in the cup had already gone completely cold.

After coming here, he has never left.

"Mr. Zhongli, the traveler is back."

Wang Hao pushed the door open and came in, still talking.

Suddenly, he paused and looked at Xiao.

This was the first time Wang Hao met the Great Sage who conquered demons.
Xiao's eyes also turned to Wang Hao. This was not the first time he had seen Wang Hao.

【Xiaobao! 】

【elf!】

[Great Sage, I am your dog! ]

[That's not right, why is Xiao here? 】

[He probably came to check whether Lao Deng was okay, but he was stopped by Lao Deng.]

【It suddenly became a little funny.】

【…】

The comments in the barrage let Wang Hao know that the immortal with the Nuo mask hanging around his waist was the Great Sage who Conquers Demons.

Wang Hao has a special feeling towards this demon-conquering great sage.

The other party has contact with his parents and may know the whereabouts of his parents.

"Who is this?" Wang Hao looked at Zhongli.

Zhongli introduced: "This is the Great Saint who conquers demons."

Xiao looked at Wang Hao: "You came to Wangshu Inn to look for me. I remember you."

Every time Wang Hao passed by Wangshu Inn, he would go to look for Xiao, but Xiao never showed up.

"You are the descendant of an old friend of mine, but I am possessed by evil thoughts and it is not appropriate for me to appear in front of you." Xiao gave an explanation.

Wang Hao's eyes lit up: "Does the Great Sage know the whereabouts of my parents?"

He looked at Xiao, his heart beating faster as if it was about to jump out, his eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.

Unfortunately, the Demon-Subduing Great Sage shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I haven't seen them since we parted in the secret realm twenty years ago."

Wang Hao's parents helped him when he fell madly in a secret place, but they have not been seen since then.

Wang Hao showed an undisguised look of disappointment and nodded slightly: "Still no information."

In fact, he now has some status and has been to the Adventurer's Guild.
But the Adventurer's Guild told him that his parents had not accepted any commissions before they disappeared.

In other words, the Adventurer's Association didn't have any information either.
The only thing they had was the box, which was now in Wang Hao's hands.

Wang Hao still has no clue about his parents.

"Everything that exists has clues. Don't worry. You still have a long future ahead of you."

Zhongli saw Wang Hao’s disappointment and comforted him.

Wang Hao nodded, collected his thoughts, and continued the previous topic: "Mr. Zhongli, Ying is back. I have an appointment at Liuli Pavilion at 6pm. Please remember to be there."

Zhongli nodded: "Okay, I will definitely come."

Wang Hao looked at Xiao again: "Great Sage, do you want to come with us? There will be plenty of food."

Xiao immediately refused: "No, I am not suitable to appear in the crowd."

His face was cold and full of obvious resistance.

[Xiao is haunted by the devil's resentment and will hurt ordinary people. 】

[Wait, did you mention the devil's grudge? ]

【WC, Wang Hao is about to eat Xiao. 】

[Pah, I want to see if I can eat the demonic resentment on Xiao. ]

[What is this, a self-service restaurant? ]

【…】

Looking at the comments in the barrage, Wang Hao turned his gaze to Xiao: "The Great Sage is haunted by the evil spirit of the demon?"

Xiao's eyes narrowed, then he remembered that Zhongli was beside him, and nodded slightly: "Yes."

Wang Hao actually did not sense the demonic resentment in Xiao.

Maybe Xiao actively suppressed it, so he didn't sense it.

"I have means to deal with the resentment of the devil, Great Sage, you should try it." Wang Hao said.

Hearing this, Xiao neither agreed nor refused, but looked at Zhongli.

When in doubt, ask the Emperor.

Xiao actually has a special attachment to the Emperor.

This is probably because the Emperor saved him from suffering and gave him new meaning of life.

"You can give it a try."

Zhongli nodded, he knew Wang Hao's abilities.

Back then at Wuwangpo, he saw with his own eyes Wang Hao devouring the power of the demon.

As for whether Wang Hao can devour the devil's curse on Xiao, Zhongli can't say for sure, but it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

With Zhongli around, Xiao will feel much more at ease.

The main reason why he did not directly display the devil's resentful curse was that he was afraid of hurting Wang Hao.

Now that Zhongli has said so, there is naturally no problem.

A trace of black air emanated from Xiao's body.
Xiao's expression gradually became ferocious, and countless resentments of death echoed in his ears. This was an immortal curse and the wailing of the loser, and they attempted to drag Xiao into an endless purgatory.

The black energy on Xiao is different from the resentment of the demons in the wild.

This is not the kind of demon resentment that carries the power of the demon, but more like the final curse of the demon resentment.

Moreover, this is a curse that countless demons and gods swore with all their might before their resentment either disappeared or was suppressed.

'Not for eating'

This is the first reaction.

'Can be cleaned up'

This is the second reaction.

Wang Hao took a step and appeared beside Xiao, with a glimmer of gold in his eyes.

Deep in the soul, a huge force was aroused.
A bit of gold appeared on Wang Hao's fingertips.

Then gently tap on Xiao's brow.

next moment,
The power of the gilded authority is displayed.
The originally disordered, crazy, and resentful black energy suddenly stopped, as if it was frozen.
As the gilded light blooms,
These black curses actually became orderly.
They gathered into a stream, slowly leaving from the depths of Xiao's soul,

It’s like... a group of gangsters were tamed... and assimilated into obedient citizens.

Everything is in order!

This is one of the magical powers that gradually emerged from the gilded authority after Wang Hao continued to repair his status.

Under the influence of the gilded authority, even the crazy and disorderly cursed demons will become obedient people.

As the black energy continued to leave Xiao's soul, his aura gradually became clearer.

A clear wind began to swirl around him.

And Xiao's face, which had been ferocious due to releasing the devil's curse, gradually calmed down.

On the side, Zhongli looked at the power blooming from Wang Hao's fingertips with a slight surprise in his eyes.

Compared to the first time he saw Wang Hao devouring the power of the demon god, the power at Wang Hao's fingertips now was more obvious.

"The power of order."

Zhongli said in his heart, and then he suddenly remembered something.

Order, it seems that this word is not prominent in Teyvat.

But as a demon, and as the top demon, Zhongli still knows a lot of information about this word.

For example, Tianli is determined to restore the order of heaven.

In the early days, the First Throne dominated Teyvat, and his Heavenly Order overwhelmed Teyvat's original Seven Orders.

Since then, Teyvat has entered the Age of Heavenly Order for hundreds of thousands of years.

The Eternal Era, the Fire Burial Era, the Sacrifice Era, and until today, the New Seven Order Era,
In fact, they all belong to the heavenly order system established by the First Throne.

However, as time goes by,
The order of heaven, this system from outside the world, is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain.

The order of the seven in Teyvat is gradually recovering.

To the extent that now the sky needs a system of seven rulers to maintain order.

in addition,

The word order itself also represents rule.

The power of order is itself the power of rule.

Only stable rule can lead to long-term order.

Only long-term order can create stable rule.

The power that Wang Hao demonstrated, which made even the devil's curse obey him, undoubtedly belonged to some kind of high-level order force.

Thinking of this, Zhongli's eyes fell on Wang Hao: "This child is definitely not a human."

This kind of high-level order force, if you say Wang Hao is the reincarnation of heaven, Zhongli would believe it to some extent.

When Zhongli was thinking.

Wang Hao has already withdrawn his fingers.
The gilded authority deep in the soul trembled slightly, like a person who had slept for a long time and stretched his body comfortably.

Although the authority has not been fully restored, using it occasionally can be considered as... post-operative recovery?
Xiao suddenly opened his eyes.

Easy, so easy.
The previous curse from the demon god was like a mountain, not only pressing down on Xiao, but also becoming heavier.
And now, the mountain is gone!
Like an athlete taking off a burden, he feels relaxed and takes off.

Oh, Xiao can fly.

"Thank you!"

The Demon-Subduing Sage, who was not good at speaking, looked at Wang Hao and said thank you sincerely.

Wang Hao waved his hand and said, "It is because the Great Sage is protecting Liyue that this difficulty has occurred. I am only doing what a Liyue person would like to do."

Compared to the pain that Xiao had to endure from the curse because of protecting the country and the people and exorcising demons, Wang Hao's help in clearing the curse was really nothing.

Although Wang Hao himself thought it was nothing, Xiao still looked at him with gratitude.

"Well, everyone is happy now, and we should celebrate." Zhongli said.

Wang Hao immediately responded: "Then let's have dinner together tonight."

Xiao immediately waved his hand: "No, I have seen the traveler. Going to see her now will ruin the Emperor's business."

That's true.

Zhongli wants Ying to help organize the ceremony of sending the immortal away, and if Xiao shows up and is very respectful to Zhongli, Ying will inevitably be suspicious.

It's impossible to let Zhongli toast to Xiao Shangxian at the dinner to dispel Ying's suspicion.

"That's right. Then, after everything is over, we'll invite everyone over and set up a table to celebrate for Xiao."

Zhongli said.

Wang Hao glanced at him and suspected that Zhongli did not want to celebrate for Xiao, but wanted to take the opportunity to meet old friends and explain to everyone that he was still alive.

However, that is none of Wang Hao's business.
"Then I will go to Liuli Pavilion first. Mr. Zhongli, remember to attend the banquet."

Wang Hao told Ying that he had booked a private room at Liuli Pavilion... but he hadn't.

However, he was not in a hurry, so he could just go to Liuli Pavilion and use Sister Ningguang's private room.

Anyway, Sister Ningguang has a private room all year round.

He went to Liuli Pavilion now to order good food.

This is what needs to be ordered in advance. Liuliting is very busy. If you don’t order the dishes in advance, then you will make your guests go hungry for half an hour.

"I will be there on time." Zhongli replied.

After leaving the Hall of Rebirth, we rushed to the Glazed Pavilion without stopping.

Because of the immortal ceremony a few days ago, business here almost came to a standstill.

As a result, after the immortals inspected the place for a few days, everyone felt relieved and business picked up again.

"Welcome to Liuli Pavilion, do you have a reservation?" The maids here were very enthusiastic.

Wang Hao nodded and took out Ningguang's warrant: "I want to use Tianquan's private room. Help me clean it up and send the menu over."

Tianquan’s private room!
The maid's eyes were shocked, and then she said more respectfully: "Okay, please come in, my dear guest. I will arrange it for you right away."

Sister Ningguang's private room always meets her aesthetic taste.
Gorgeous, grand, and exquisite.
To describe this private room as magnificent and splendid would be a bit tacky.

I took the menu from the waitress.
Ying helped a lot this time, and Wang Hao didn't plan to save money. He ordered everything that was expensive and ordered more than a dozen dishes.

I hope Ying and Paimon will like it.

No, Paimon would definitely like it.

After all, as long as it's edible, there's nothing that Paimon doesn't like.

Unless...it's really unpalatable.
