Section 90
Su Chen thought, "You don't even look at yourself. I should sew your mouth shut."
"Since Zhongli is not here, I should leave too."
Liu Yun said, "Then I'll stay here."
The Human Emperor Palace was originally a place where all the immortals gathered. Liyue was in a mess now, so she should stay here and wait and see.
Su Chen nodded. At this point, it was necessary for the traveler to go to Jueyunjian again. Today is different from the past. Today's Liyue is much stronger than in the game, so compared to Liyue's ability to deal with danger, he is more worried about the psychological endurance of the people of Liyue.
After getting over that mental hurdle, with the strength of the Qianyan Army, the Baishu Academy and the immortals, there are few rivals in the seven countries.
As for the invasion of the demon gods, they must be punished even if they are far away.
Leaving the Human Emperor Palace and walking out of Yujingtai, the order became even more chaotic. A large number of foreign tourists left Liyue Port under the arrangement of the Qianyan Army. Many of those in Liyue Port walked on the roadside in a state of dismay, crying or looking numb.
Yesterday's prosperity was gone like smoke.
Walked across the stone bridge and walked to Chihuyan.
The streets were full of people, most of them in a panic. Su Chen was out of place in the crowd.
"Dad, let's not open the store for now."
The blue-haired girl walked by, and the little yellow Guoba who followed her suddenly turned around and looked at the familiar figure disappearing in the crowd with a puzzled expression.
"Guoba, what's wrong?"
"Lulu~~"
"Do you miss the emperor too?"
"Lulu~~"
Su Chen originally planned to go to the dock to take a look, but he stopped in the alley after turning the corner of Sanwanguogang.
The autumn wind swept the fallen leaves, and the chaos was shocking.
But the surroundings were exceptionally quiet.
The clanging sound of ironwork stopped, and the delicious and inexpensive Yoho sound disappeared. The door of Wanmin Hall was closed, and the surrounding noise suddenly dissipated. Zhongli stood in the distance, and his calm eyes showed surprise and nostalgia.
A mood that has not been disturbed for thousands of years cannot maintain long-term peace.
Su Chen smiled slightly: "Old friend, long time no see."
Thousands of words came to his lips, and Zhongli only said these four words-
"Long time no see."
...

Chapter 56 The Human Emperor Rock King Liyue Tour, the Human Emperor Ascends to God Here! Rescue Ruotu [1w! ]
If life is a play, then what is being performed in Liyue Harbor at this moment is the scene of Zhongli's perfect curtain call.
As the protagonist of this play, Zhongli walks in the noisy streets and lanes, but he doesn't care about what is happening around him.
"You are quite calm." Su Chen said with a smile, "This incident has cost most of Liyue Harbor. Even if it stabilizes in the end, Liyue will be seriously damaged."
"If it is not broken, it will be disadvantageous. Don't you support me to do this?"
"Me? Do you?"
"If I oppose it, I should have stopped it long ago." Zhongli raised a barely detectable arc at the corner of his mouth, "You came here specially to participate in the ceremony of inviting the immortals. Your bad taste has not changed at all."
"Ah, in fact, that is also my duty. I am now a diplomatic envoy of Mondstadt. It is reasonable for me to participate in the ceremony of inviting the immortals, right?" Su Chen raised his eyebrows and joked, "It's a coincidence that I saw your embarrassing scene. The dignified Rock King Emperor, who was invincible in the land of Liyue, fell on the platform like a dead dog."
"..."
Zhongli's mouth twitched slightly.
The dignified Rock King Emperor, who dares to say that he is like a dead dog?
But Su Chen said this, and he was not angry at all.
It's a nostalgic feeling.
The word "nostalgia" has become numb over the past thousands of years, but I never thought I could meet my old friend again.
However, Zhongli did not compromise with his old friend's joke.
"It's great that you can come back." He changed his words, "I promised to take care of Liyue for you back then, and now it's time to give it back to you."
"Uh..."
"Why, have you forgotten who created Liyue?" Zhongli insisted, "Who once said that he would create a foundation for the people of Liyue for eternity, who once sacrificed blood to the sword and laid the foundation for Liyue's destiny, and who founded the academy to pass on academic theories and immortal magic?"
"I..."
"You said that if you were not here, Liyue would be handed over to me to take care of, and I did it. Now that you are back, I will return Liyue to you. From a universal rational point of view, this is very reasonable."
Su Chen: "This..."
"At that time, I will gather all the immortals to welcome the return of the emperor."
Hey, hey, hey, Zhongli, do you have to be so decisive? We are best friends!
Su Chen immediately raised the white flag, "Grandpa Zhong, I was wrong, okay?"
Who said that the old man has a calm temper? Look at this little tongue, a few words make people unable to refute.
Su Chen sighed: "Let's not push each other, isn't it good to leave Liyue to the people of Liyue?"
Zhongli smiled indifferently: "Agree."
Very good, we have reached an agreement, which is gratifying.
Two young old men chat casually, not asking about the lives of the people, but only talking about fine wine and food, leisure and fun.
From the founding of Liyue to the determination of the position of the Seven Gods, from the old King of Rock to the old God of Rock, the Seven Gods gathered in Liyue, the prosperity of the year was like a passing cloud, and in the end there was only infinite emotion.
This journey has been nearly three thousand years, even for gods, it is a long time.
Zhongli didn't ask how Su Chen came back to life, but he could feel that the latter's strength was much worse than his peak period. Fortunately, Liyue didn't need any battles now.
When they arrived at Feiyunpo, the originally bustling streets became a little deserted, and the shops on both sides were basically closed. I wanted to find a teahouse or restaurant to have a few drinks, but it didn't work.
Zhongli suggested that we go to his house.
Su Chen was puzzled, where is your home?
Zhongli said, just walk forward.
When they arrived at the door of the Rebirth Hall, Su Chen's face turned black, you call this going home?
The situation in the Rebirth Hall was not good.
Although the Rock King Emperor passed away, there was no crying and making a fuss, but the mood of the ceremonial attendants was very low, and they didn't react when they saw Su Chen and Zhongli come in.
"Okay, okay! What's the point of all of you looking so sad? The Emperor is gone, so we should cheer up, right? These are the words we say to comfort others at the funeral!"
The girl stood in the hall, with her hands on her hips, and scolded a group of ceremonial attendants with their heads bowed.
Although she was still young, she was still the head of the hall. Hu Tao was full of prestige and arranged everyone to take action. The Emperor was gone, Liyue was in chaos, and the Wangsheng Hall could not stop.
But when all the ceremonial attendants were busy, Hu Tao stood alone in the hall for a long time, looking depressed, and the spirit that she had tried hard to put on instantly waned.
Looking up and seeing Zhongli, she suddenly rushed over and hugged him.
"Wuwuwu...Zhongli Zhongli, the Emperor is gone, the Emperor is actually gone...Wuwuwu..."
Zhongli: "..."
Puff.
Looking at Zhongli's comforting look but not knowing where to start, Su Chen almost laughed out loud.
"Wow... Zhongli, why don't you say anything? The Emperor is dead, he's actually dead..."
"You know what? I saw the Emperor fall from the sky, and I couldn't remember anything, my head was empty, just like when my grandfather died, I couldn't say anything, I couldn't do anything, but I'm the hall master now, I should cheer up..."
Hu Tao hugged Zhongli, she just wanted to cry, the strong-looking Hall Master Hu always looked playful and heartless, but she had the deepest feelings for Liyue.
The Emperor protected Liyue, and she protected those who died. She knew that the Emperor was the beacon on her way forward.
But now the beacon is gone.
After crying for a while, Hu Tao finally controlled her emotions, but she also made Zhongli's chest full of snot and tears. She quickly took out a handkerchief from her pocket, wiped it twice, and suddenly said, "Oh, I forgot I blew my nose just now," and then looked up at Zhongli.
Zhongli also looked at her, and their eyes met, and their expressions were a little difficult to describe for a while.
Hu Tao suddenly started to giggle.
"Why are you laughing, Master?" Zhong Li's voice was still gentle and calm, which made people feel at ease.
"I just don't know why... well, I suddenly don't feel sad when I see you." Hu Tao is straightforward, she says whatever she thinks, and all she can hide in her heart are big secrets, but to her, Mr. Zhong Li is not only a guest official, but also her most trusted "subordinate".
Moreover, the sense of security that came from nowhere made Hu Tao believe in Zhong Li unconditionally in her heart.
"Huh? Who is this?" Hu Tao finally realized the existence of Su Chen, and was stunned for a moment, and shouted: "Wow! Zhong Li, look, look, the emperor!"
Zhong Li, Su Chen: "..."
