Genshin Impact: While strolling around Teyvat, I was driven mad by a player.

"Is Mr. Zhongli not coming with us this time?"

Paimon looked at Zhongli in front of him and asked.

"Well, I have some reasons why I can't show my face."

"I'd appreciate it if you two could do it for me."

Upon hearing this, Zhongli placed one hand on his chest and nodded.

"Eh... Mr. Zhongli's attitude this time."

"Why are you so secretive?"

Paimon, upon hearing this, put his hands on his hips and said in surprise.

"Because if he went, his identity would be exposed."

Qiu Nian looked at Zhong Li in front of her and smiled inwardly.

"I'll go with them too."

After thinking for a moment, Qiu Nian spoke.

Consider it a visit to an old friend.

If you calculate carefully, it has been nearly three thousand years since he last saw the True Lord of Gechenlang City.

In my memory, she was still a beautiful fairy.

However, he knew the game's storyline.

After experiencing some events, Ge Chenlang City transformed into the appearance of an old man.

"Um..."

Upon hearing this, Zhongli lowered his chin with one hand and pondered for a while.

He nodded slightly to Qiu Nian in front of him.

The three then headed towards Liyue Harbor.

Along the way, Ying and Paimeng would occasionally chat with Qiu Nian.

At least Qiu Nian didn't have as much upper-class knowledge as Zhong Li, making communication much easier for him.

It was gradually approaching noon. The three of them arrived at Liyue Harbor.

After arriving near Yujingtai.

I met an elderly woman with white hair and a hunched back.

The three walked up behind the old man.

She saw the old man shaking his head and saying something to the many glass lilies in front of him.

"Life is unpredictable, life is unpredictable..."

The old man muttered to himself with a mix of emotion and sadness.

Ying watched the old man's retreating figure and said politely.

"Young man, are you here to admire the flowers?"

The old man who heard the voice turned around and looked at Ying and Paimon.

"What a pity, you've come at the wrong time..."

"These glass lilies are almost all gone."

Grandma Ping's gaze swept over Ying and Paimon before she spoke.

"Why have all these flowers withered?"

Paimon looked at the beautiful glass lilies and asked in confusion.

"In my day, people said that glass lilies were intelligent and had a human touch."

"If they hear nice sounds, like laughter or singing, they will be very happy and will grow well."

"But on the other hand, if you hear too many negative voices... like all sorts of nonsense and rumors, they will wither away very quickly."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Ping lowered her head slightly and began to explain.

"...So, this is the current situation in Liyue Harbor."

"These flowers sensed it too."

After hearing Grandma Ping's explanation, Paimon immediately connected it to Liyue Harbor in the present day.

"Yes, the rumors of the death of the Rock King Emperor are no small matter."

"There are all sorts of things being said on the streets and alleys."

"Some say it's a conspiracy by the Fools, others say it's because the creatures in the sea can no longer be contained."

"Some people even say that this was all staged by Seven Stars himself..."

Grandma Ping nodded upon hearing this, and then slowly began to speak.

"Sigh...this port is just like a pile of firewood."

"With just a spark, the fire will be unstoppable."

Grandma Ping sighed and continued muttering.

Just then, Grandma Ping raised her head and looked at the handsome young man beside Ying and Paimeng.

Just now, she felt that the young man looked very familiar.

But when she looked closely at the robes the young man was wearing, her pupils contracted slightly.

In that instant, many memories seemed to flash through Grandma Ping's mind.

After a moment of surprise, she looked at the young man's face.

When she recognized the face, Grandma Ping was stunned.

"You're back too..."

"Liyue Harbor is really bustling these days..."

Grandma Ping looked at Qiu Nian in front of her and nodded with a smile.

"Just a moment ago, Grandma Ping looked very sad, but as soon as she saw Qiu Nian, she smiled."

Paimon looked at Grandma Ping in front of him, then at Qiu Nian beside him, and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Long time no see."

"Grandma Ping".

Looking at the old man in front of her, Qiu Nian was also filled with emotion.

"Haha... Even you call me that."

"Looks like I'm really getting old..."

Grandma Ping smiled and shook her head upon hearing this.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian sighed softly, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

"Some people speculate that it was that one who assassinated the Rock King Emperor."

"They say only he has this ability... I don't believe it. How could he possibly assassinate the Rock King Emperor..."

"He was clearly such a gentle yet powerful god."

After saying those words, Grandma Ping kept watching Qiu Nian's expression.

It's as if they're trying to find out some answers.

When Qiu Nian heard the words "gentle yet strong," her eyes lowered slightly.

"I don't believe it either."

But then, looking at Grandma Ping in front of him, he revealed a faint smile.

"Really..."

"It seems that after all this time, you are still the same as before."

"I'm completely different from before."

Grandma Ping heard this answer.

As if he already knew the answer, he nodded with a smile.

"Qiu Nian, do you know Grandma Ping?"

Ying looked at the two people who seemed to be asking riddles, and asked in a daze.

“I met Granny Ping in Jueyun a long time ago.”

Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian nodded slightly to Ying and Paimeng.

"I just didn't expect what you're talking about, Granny Ping."

"It is the one I know."

Qiu Nian turned her head, looked at Grandma Ping in front of her, and said with a light laugh.

At this moment, the viewers in Xuehua's live stream felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it.

Why did Grandma Ping know that person?

Right now, only a few people know about that person, right?

And those players who had already completed the storyline during the public beta...

At this point, some speculation had already been made about Qiu Nian's identity.

They knew that Granny Ping was also a celestial being.

Could Qiu Nian also be an immortal or something similar?

And when Granny Ping said that only that one person had the ability to assassinate the Rock King Emperor, she looked at Qiu Nian.

Could Qiu Nian be that Outer God?!
