"As for the other side of the scales, what kind of bargaining chips did the Ice Queen add..."
"On your future journey, you will discover the answer yourself."
After Zhongli finished speaking, he fell silent.
When Ying and Paimon saw this ultimate riddle-maker who only spoke halfway through his sentences, they also showed a disdainful expression.
I doubt they'd get any information even if they asked.
So they decided to go find Qiu Nian first.
"Another riddle teller, but since it's His Majesty the Emperor, I can tolerate it."
Xuehua looked at Zhongli on the screen and said with a lovestruck expression.
Stop being so rude.
Could it be that the Ice God is trying to gather the power of the seven gods to defy the laws of nature?
It doesn't feel that simple.
Upon reaching the summit of Tianheng Mountain, a cutscene immediately ensued.
A man is standing with his back to a father and son.
He is 1.83 meters tall and has long black hair.
A bamboo hairpin was tied in her hair.
A light blue and white Hanfu robe, with colors resembling ink painting, paired with a cloak.
It swayed gently in the breeze.
It was now nearly afternoon.
"You... are the people entrusted by Mr. Zhongli?"
"Take it..."
Qiu Nian turned around, took out two small wooden swords, and handed them to the Li Yue father and son.
"Thank you."
"Otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do..."
After taking the two small wooden swords, the middle-aged man quickly thanked Qiu Nian.
"It's alright, go ahead, but this matter needs to be kept secret."
"Once you fail to uphold the agreement to keep confidentiality, it will lose its validity."
Qiu Nian looked at the father and son in front of her and offered a reminder.
"I see."
The middle-aged man nodded quickly and led the boy down the mountain.
"Possessed by evil spirits..."
"Haha... Let's wait for Hall Master Hu to handle this. For now, let's give them a small item to keep the evil spirits away."
Qiu Nian turned around, shook her head with a bit of a laugh.
Just then, Ying and Paimon also saw the father and son walking down the mountain.
After reaching the top of the mountain, I saw Qiu Nian's back.
Wow, this really is a PV scam!
Chapter 52 Autumn Twenty: Letting the Whirlpool Demon God Go
When Ying and Paimon saw Qiu Nian not far away, they exchanged a hesitant glance.
Although Qiu Nian is not one of the current Seven Gods, but rather one of the Seven Rulers of the Mortal World.
But the fact that he is a god is absolutely true.
Moreover, his strength is almost on par with that of Lord Rock.
For a moment, they were at a loss for how to start a conversation.
Like before?
Although Ying and Paimon had many concerns.
But they still went over, after all, Qiu Nian wasn't some kind of evil god.
Get along with each other during this time.
In addition, there's the story of Qiu Nian told by Yan Shen, Grandma Ping, and Gan Yu.
It didn't seem that scary.
At this moment, Qiu Nian was looking in the direction of Guyun Pavilion.
A gentle breeze blew by, softly ruffling his hair and clothes.
"On the 20th of autumn, Zhongli sent us to find you."
Paimon greeted Qiu Nian as he watched her retreating figure.
"Ha ha..."
"It seems you already know the truth."
Qiu Nian chuckled softly, then turned to look at Ying and Paimon in front of him and said.
Looking at Qiu Nian before them, Ying and Paimon suddenly realized that besides being an outer god...
Qiu Nian is still the same Qiu Nian they know, without any difference.
He still spoke slowly and gently.
"Yes, we all know."
"The Geo Archon faked his death because he wanted to test Liyue, and we also found out your identity!"
Paimon paused for a moment, then said to Qiu Nian somewhat angrily.
Ying put her hands on her hips upon hearing this.
Although Qiu Nian didn't tease her much, she still harbored a lot of resentment.
"What is my identity?"
Looking at the somewhat adorable Ying and Paimon in front of her, Qiu Nian asked with amusement.
"You are Gui Xu."
"That is the outer god that Zhongli mentioned."
Ying looked at Qiu Nian in front of her and spoke.
"Outer Gods..."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian lowered her chin with one hand and murmured those two words.
"And you actually claimed that the house in Jueyun Pass was passed down from your ancestors..."
Paimon nodded, looking at Qiu Nian with a disdainful expression.
"He also said he had practiced martial arts for two and a half years."
"He even asked himself questions about himself."
"One is a Geo Archon and the other is an Outer God. They're really good at acting."
Ying picked up where Paimon left off, looking at Qiu Nian with the same disdain.
"I apologize for this."
"Please forgive me for deceiving you temporarily because of my agreement with Morax."
Qiu Nian looked at Ying and Paimon in front of her and said apologetically.
"That's pretty much it."
Paimon smiled sweetly upon hearing this.
"Qiu Nian, are you really that Outer God?"
"Although the Rock God has already told us, we would like to hear you admit it yourself."
Ying looked at Qiu Nian in front of her and spoke.
"Outer Gods..."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian glanced at the approaching dusk and revealed a faint smile.
"If this refers to the Outer Gods and the Cassia Order mentioned by Morax and Gan Yu..."
"That was indeed me."
Qiu Nian looked at Ying and Paimon in front of him and spoke.
Hearing Qiu Nian admit it himself, Ying's last trace of doubt was dispelled.
"Oh, right, Qiu Nian."
“Zhongli told us that you have resolved Liyue’s final crisis.”
"Could it be that the thing you said you were going to solve before is this?"
Paimon looked at Qiu Nian in front of him, spread his little hands, and asked with a puzzled expression.
"The final crisis facing Liyue has been resolved..."
Did he really say that?
Qiu Nian looked at Ying and Paimon in front of her and asked with a light laugh.
Ying nodded upon hearing this.
"Um..."
Qiu Nian turned around, took a few steps forward, and arrived at the edge of the mountain peak.
