Chapter 356
Unexpectedly, Yingmei had such keen senses. Han Xiao only pondered for a moment before telling her the information about Zhongli and Ruo Tuo Rongwang fighting side by side.
"It turns out that there were Mr. Zhongli's family members and comrades in the seal. No wonder I feel palpitations."
After learning from Han Xiao what kind of boss was behind the seal, Yingmei finally understood the reason why her whole body had sent out warnings in the first place.
In this area of Liyue, there is also a person with combat power comparable to the Seven Gods.
As if aware of what Yingmei was thinking, Han Xiao shook her head in distress:
"Ying, this matter is very difficult to handle."
"Is it because of Mr. Zhongli?"
"It's not just that. Just wait a moment. I'll call Mr. Zhongli and ask him to come over. You will know the details of the matter by then."
After finishing her sentence, Han Xiao took out her cell phone in front of Ying and Paimeng and dialed Zhongli's number.
...
"I see, I probably know what's going on."
Not long after Han Xiao finished the phone call, Zhongli quickly arrived at Han Xiao's home.
After hearing Yingmei's discovery, he quickly understood the reason behind the incident.
"Like the miners and adventurers who only know mining, they must be under control."
As he said this, Zhongli couldn't help but sigh softly, with a hint of sadness in his tone.
"It seems that my former old friend has cut a gap in the seal and escaped part of his consciousness."
"Old friends from the past?"
Paimon acted well as a 'topic opener' and asked her the question she wanted to know most.
"Yes, Ruotuo has completely lost his mind due to wear and tear."
Zhongli nodded, and then slowly opened his mouth to explain the meaning of wear and tear to Yingmei in detail.
"Teyvat actually has such a terrible rule of wear and tear?"
After listening to Zhongli's explanation of wear and tear, Yingmei's eyes shrank subconsciously, and the expression on her face became a little serious.
She did not expect that the immortal species on the Teyvat continent would face the terrible erosion of rules such as wear and tear.
To be honest, even though she and her brother have been traveling in various worlds for so long and lived a long time, she has never had the concept of wear and tear.
Could it be that my brother's personality changed so drastically because of Teyvat's unique concept of wear and tear, and he even chose to get involved in the Abyss Order?
Seeing that Yingmei and Paimon gradually understood the horror of wear and tear, Zhongli turned his attention to Han Xiao and said solemnly:
"Han Xiao, I won't take action in this matter."
"I understand, I will personally solve the problem of King Ruotuo."
"Narada, I'll leave it to you."
"Please rest assured, Mr. Zhongli, I will definitely resolve this matter satisfactorily."
Han Xiao nodded seriously and expressed her promise to Zhongli.
He naturally knew the reason why Zhongli was not prepared to take action.
The Rock King Morax has been declared completely dead, and now Zhongli is just a guest at the Hall of Rebirth.
"Mr. Zhongli, if you don't take action to solve the problem of Dragon King Ruotuo, can Han Xiao and the others really do it?"
After listening to the entire conversation between Han Xiao and Zhong Li, Paimeng's little face was filled with worry.
You must know that it is a terrifying existence that can compete with the Rock King Emperor in his heyday.
If Zhongli hadn't intervened, could they really have solved the problem with just a few of them?
"Now I am just a guest at the Hall of Purity. Naturally, I do not have the ability to complete this matter."
In response to Paimon's question, Zhongli couldn't help but look through the wall to where Liyue Port was in the distance and said slowly:
"Liyue is now the Liyue people's own!"
"I also want to see if the Liyue people can hand over an answer that satisfies me when facing a huge crisis."
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhongli, I will try to treat Ruotuo Dragon King to see if he can regain his consciousness."
"Then Ruotuo leaves it to you, Hanxiao!"
Hearing Han Xiao's assurance, Zhongli nodded slightly with relief.
Chapter 575: Ning Guang: It’s all Liyue’s ancestor’s fault
After completely telling Han Xiao and the others about Ruotuo Dragon King's condition of losing his mind after deep wear and tear, Zhongli chose to leave.
Just like what he said, he didn't mean to interfere at all.
"It's like this again. This is how Zhongli tested Liyue Port last time. I didn't expect it to happen again this time!"
Looking at Zhong Li's leaving figure, Paimeng folded his hands in front of his chest with a look of helplessness on his face.
This was what the Liyue people said when they faced Osel last time, and now the same thing happened with Ruotuo Dragon King.
"Well...that's because Mr. Zhongli believes that we can solve the problem on our own."
Han Xiao didn't care much about Paimon's complaints.
Although Zhongli said he would not intervene, if something went wrong, the other party would not choose to watch.
After all, this is Liyue, the place he has guarded for thousands of years.
"So Han Xiao, you don't want to have to ask Mr. Zhongli to come forward to solve the problem in the end, right?"
Unlike Paimon, a simple little thing, Yingmei quickly understood the meaning of Han Xiao's words.
"right."
Han Xiao nodded.
Nowadays, there is no 'god' on the bright side of Liyue. The problem of Dragon King Ruotuo is indeed difficult, and it is also very dangerous when it involves the level of demon god.
But once the people of Liyue successfully deal with the trouble of Dragon King Ruotuo, it will strengthen Liyue's impression in the eyes of the other six nations.
To put it simply, it is to 'prove' to the other six countries of the Teyvat continent that the last time the Liyue people dealt with the Osel problem was not a fluke.
But Liyue does have the ability to solve troubles from the demon level by herself.
"Do you need our help?"
After hearing Han Xiao's thoughts, Yingmei thought for a while and decided to help.
The last time I talked with Zhongli, the other party had been secretive, and I couldn't get much useful information out of the conversation.
If they help Han Xiao and the others resolve the Ruotuo Dragon King's trouble this time and then ask Mr. Zhongli about something, perhaps the other party will reveal some information that does not need to be kept secret for the sake of their helping Liyue.
"Thank you so much for your willingness!"
Hearing that Yingmei was willing to help, Han Xiao was naturally very welcoming.
After all, even if Ruotuo Dragon King loses his mind due to wear and tear, the opponent is still a top demon god level existence.
Just facing the pressure of Dragon King Ruotuo is not an easy task, let alone taking action if there is no time to protect them.
In the entire Liyue territory, apart from Zhongli and Xianren, there were very few people who could intervene in this matter. Basically, Han Xiao himself, Gan Yu, Shen He and Yan Fei were the only ones.
Even Ningguang and Keqing may not be able to exert their restraint ability under the pressure of Dragon King Ruotuo.
Moreover, among the several candidates who could participate in this matter, Yan Fei was directly excluded because he was not good at fighting, and the only ones who could really stand up were these senior sisters and brothers.
When the time comes, Han Xiao will definitely use his power to try to eliminate the effects of wear and tear on Dragon King Ruotuo, but the other party will definitely not sit still and wait for death.
Therefore, there must be someone who can restrain Ruotuo Dragon King so that he can let go and do anything.
Yingmei once had a very high status. Even if her strength has not been fully restored, she can definitely resist the pressure of Dragon King Ruotuo.
With the help of the other party, the pressure on Gan Yu and Shen He will be reduced a lot.
"I will contact Ningguang and the others now to discuss how to deal with the issue of Dragon King Ruotuo. I will contact you after the negotiation is completed."
"OK, all right!"
...
Soon, Ningguang, who received the message on his mobile phone, immediately summoned Gan Yu and Shen He. The three of them took the Qun Yu Pavilion directly to Guili City and found Han Xiao.
"I haven't seen Ning Guang for a long time, you guys came very quickly!"
In the office of Kuixing Tower, Han Xiao first said hello to Ning Guang when he saw several people coming to the door, and then looked at Gan Yu and Shen He.
"Senior Sister Gan Yu, Senior Sister Shen He, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"
"Well, I haven't seen Junior Brother Han Xiao for a long time."
Gan Yu responded in a soft tone, and Shen He on the side did not speak but nodded in return.
"Can we come as soon as possible after receiving such serious news?"
After Han Xiao, Gan Yu and the others finished saying hello, Ning Guang took up the topic, but the expression on her face was not very pretty.
Come to think of it, the last time they invited the Immortal Ceremony, Liyue had to face Osel who had escaped from the seal.
Unexpectedly, one year later, as the Sea Lantern Festival was coming, there was another problem with Ruotuo Dragon King's seal.
There has been a demon-level crisis for two consecutive years, so it is really strange that Ningguang's face looks good.
"I couldn't explain it clearly on the phone. Now let's tell you what's going on."
"Why is there something wrong with the seal of Ruotuo Dragon King?"
As soon as these words came out, Gan Yu and Shen He looked serious and looked straight at Han Xiao.
"The cause of the matter is this..."
Faced with the doubts of Ningguang and the others, Han Xiao explained the whole story in detail, only concealing Zhongli's identity during the incident.
"So that's what happened!"
After listening to Han Xiao's story, Ning Guang had a headache and covered his forehead with his hands.
Co-author The reason why Dragon King Ruotuo was so quickly drained of his mind was actually because their ancestors in Liyue were exploiting the giant layered rock abyss.
This is really a genuine way to pay off the debt of our ancestors!
Of course, a headache was a headache, and Ningguang didn't complain much about Liyue's ancestors.
After all, if Liyue wanted to develop back then, it could only quickly and stably gain a foothold on the Teyvat continent by engaging in the mining industry.
"It seems that the issue of the Strata Abyss deserves our Seven Stars to pay more attention to it."
After glancing at Han Xiao, Ning Guang's tone became much more relaxed.
She had been thinking about transforming the entire Liyue economy, but the results had not been high.
Fortunately, there is a talent like Han Xiao among the Seven Stars of this generation, and new industries in Liyue have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
This has greatly improved Liyue's extreme dependence on the mining industry.
It was precisely in Liyue, where a hundred flowers were blooming, that Ningguang had the confidence to make the decision to significantly reduce ore output.
After all, many mineral raw materials in Liyue no longer need to be mined by themselves, but are directly imported from countries such as Mondstadt.
"Hanxiao, what are you going to do next?"
Keeping the issue of production reduction in the back of his mind and planning to raise it at the next Seven Stars meeting, Ningguang immediately looked at Han Xiao with a stern look on his face and asked how Dragon King Ruotuo might be able to escape at any time due to the loosening of the seal.
"I got the solution from that person. It's up to me, my two senior sisters, and the travelers to face the Dragon King Ruotuo."
Upon hearing Ningguang's inquiry, Han Xiao was unambiguous and quickly stated her arrangement.
"By the way, you must have collected a lot of magic techniques when building Qunyu Pavilion, right?"
Chapter 576: Hanxiao: Sleepy Black Tea·Dragon King Edition
"We did collect a lot."
Ningguang nodded. In order to ensure the safety of Qunyu Pavilion after it floated, she spent a lot of thought and financial resources to buy most of the alchemist families in Liyue.
Yes, you read that right, Ning Guang did not choose to buy ancient magic books from the Alchemist Family, but directly bought them all to work for her.
