Ningzhe understood very well that this investigation at Yujingtai was just a formality.

After all, this time the Immortal Invitation Ceremony was held in advance, and there were not many foreigners who came here with admiration... And it is absolutely impossible for the people of Liyue to do such a thing as "assassination of the emperor".

Finally, a notice was posted by the Seven Stars.

"The emperor suffered a catastrophe, and his soul returned to heaven. Therefore, he informed Liyue and prayed for the condolences of all the people."

Qianyan Army coach Feng Yan announced the news to the crowd. This stone-hard man put away the sadness caused by the emperor's death and told everyone everything with a determined attitude.

For a moment, it seemed that the entire Liyue Port fell into silence.

The emperor "fell" in front of everyone, this is an indisputable fact.

The passing of Lord Yan seemed to suddenly pull the people of Liyue out of their comfort zone, and their hearts were instantly filled with confusion about the future.

People need time to accept this... give them time, it's a must.

Qixing did not make any big move at the first moment, but waited quietly.

As for Ningzhe, as Tianquanxing Ningguang's confidant, he was naturally released quickly.

After leaving Yujingtai, Ningzhe did not choose to go to Shengtang to meet the old man, nor did he choose to go to Beiguo Bank to discuss cooperation. Instead, he walked directly into the wild.

Even if Kong didn't come to Liyue, someone still had to inform the immortal.

And Ningzhe, no matter from any angle, is the most suitable Liyue person to meet the immortal.

...

Between the clouds.

The fairy atmosphere here is misty, with high mountains and shrouded clouds and mist.

Speaking of which, except for the time when he saw Mandrill as a child, this was the first time that Ningzhe came to this land alone.

This time is different from the past. At this moment, Ningzhe has this extremely powerful spiritual power and is not afraid of any monsters.

"..."

But... when Ningzhe came to the bottom of the mountain and saw the peaks all around that were trying to compete with the gods, he couldn't hold back for a moment.

That's too high. If I had to climb up by force, how long would it take me to climb...

After pondering for a moment, Ningzhe suddenly clapped his hands and thought of an excellent way.

"elf!!!"

Ningzhe made a quick decision and spoke loudly.

But...except for a few gusts of wind, nothing happened.

"Um?"

Ningzhe shook his head in confusion.

Something is wrong. Usually when I call his name, he will immediately sense my location and come directly over!

oh!

Thoughts flashed rapidly, and Ningzhe suddenly realized.

It must be that his shouting was not emotional enough for Mandrill to be able to sense it.

Then, Ningzhe took a deep breath, his energy settled in his Dantian, and he opened his mouth: "Look up but don't look down..."

Whoosh——

Before Ningzhe finished speaking, a burst of green elemental power flashed through, and the next second, Mandrill crossed his arms and looked down at Ningzhe.

Yes, just looking down.

Even though there was a slight difference in height between the two, Ningzhe always felt that Mandrill was looking down on him.

"..."

Seeing Ningzhe's somewhat surprised look, Mandrill raised his eyes and spoke slowly: "It's been a long time since I last told you to "Come to Jueyunjian". What's the reason?"

Although it was a question, coupled with Mandrill's smooth tone, it even seemed to be stating something.

"Ah, well...because there are so many things in Liyue Port, I'm so busy, so I haven't had time to come here..."

Ningzhe laughed naively and tried to deal with it.

"...No need to hide it, I know about your Zhuyue Festival."

Hearing this, Mandrill shook his head slightly, and then said: "You have successfully awakened the talent in your body, which is a good thing."

"Ah ha, I think this is a good thing too!"

Ningzhe nodded, even a little proud.

"But... after you awakened your power, the first thing you did was to use it in storytelling..."

Mentioning this, Mandrill's expression was a little strange.

"This, I think is okay, after all, I am a storyteller."

Ningzhe didn't feel anything was wrong at all, and even sounded a little proud.

After all, I am the best storyteller in Liyue Port!

"..."

After a moment of silence, Mandrill shook his head slightly, "That's right... Anyway, you did a good job."

ha?

Mandrill praises me for doing well?

Even Ningzhe was a little surprised to receive Mandrill's praise.

Is it possible that... Mandrill also went to watch his storytelling?

This actually flattered him a bit...

However, before Ningzhe could say anything, Mandrill suddenly spoke again:

"Next, let's talk about business."

As soon as he finished speaking, a green light flashed around the mandrill, and the next second, the two of them appeared together on the top of the mountain.

"..."

Feeling the solid feeling coming from the ground under his feet, Ningzhe was a little unable to recover.

Just do it, it's so efficient...

and...

Ningzhe walked tremblingly to the top of the mountain, supported a tree, and looked down.

This is too far... Is Mandrill so powerful?

"You have been here before, but...it must have been a long time ago."

Seeing Ningzhe clutching his chest and looking like he was having a myocardial infarction, Mandrill looked at the cave not far away and spoke softly.

here...

Oh yes, Ningzhe realized at this time, this is the top of the Aozang Mountain, which is also the cave of Liuyun Borrowing Wind Zhenjun.

"Mrilla, does what you want to tell me have anything to do with Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng?"

"...yes."

He nodded in response to Ningzhe, and then Mandrill looked at the cave.

The next moment, a gust of wind came from the cave, and then, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun suddenly appeared at the door of the cave.

"The Great Sage of Conquering Demons? And boy Ningzhe, what are you doing..."

Seeing the two people standing outside the door, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun was in a trance for a while, almost thinking that he had gone back to the time when Mandrill brought the young Ningzhe to see her more than ten years ago.

Then when she took a closer look, she realized that Ningzhe had grown up.

It turns out that so much time has passed...

"Leave the clouds to borrow the wind. I came here this time because of the Tianqiu Valley."

Seeing Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun appear, Mandrill was not hesitant, he immediately crossed his arms and spoke.

"Tianqiu Valley? Oh...you mean those polluted trees?"

Liu Yun Jiefeng Zhenjun was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, Mandrill nodded slightly and agreed to this sentence.

A few days ago, a group of trees that were not native to Liyue suddenly sprung up in the Tianqiu Valley area - Yujiamu.

These trees grew inexplicably in Tianqiu Valley, and began to gradually pollute the surrounding native wood species...

The last time Mandrill went to rescue Ningzhe, he discovered this phenomenon.

However, he didn't care at that time, because there were signs of monster activity elsewhere, and he had to deal with them quickly.

When he came back to his senses, he found that these Yugamu had already reached a considerable scale.

If you want to remove it directly, you can do it with the strength of the mandrill.

But the problem is that these Ogam trees seem to be connected with the native wood species on this land. Once the Ogam trees are eliminated, other tree species will be indirectly affected.

"..."

Ningzhe listened and said nothing.

The purpose of his coming here was essentially to tell the immortals about the "fall" of the emperor, but he didn't expect to be involved in another incident.
