Chapter 340: But you said that Zhang is exactly the same as Zhongli!
And the outcome of the negotiation with this unknown being was after hearing these words.
For some reason, I sensed a hint of provocation in the last understated sentence.
The being in front of him, who had inhabited the body of Morax, seemed gentle and peaceful in his words, as if he had a good character.
The last sentence seemed like just an ordinary visit, but the meaning it revealed was a bit sharp.
It was as if he was questioning them. After thousands of years of traveling with Morax, couldn't they rely on their own judgment to discern the authenticity of the 'Emperor of Rock' before them?
Isn't that... a little too useless?
In the end, he didn't think he was overthinking.
Although he had been acting calm and composed since he appeared, his conversation and behavior seemed to be similar to Morax's previous performance.
But compared to Morax, this person in front of him, who was frank but did not reveal his origins, seemed to be a little more sharp?
Gui Zhong and Ruota Dragon King both looked thoughtful, and then they looked at each other as if a blessing had come to their mind.
Suddenly I remembered Morax who had left a few days ago and came back again not long after saying he had some things to deal with.
At that time, Gui Zhong was helping the Dragon King Ruo Tuo with the tools he used for forging. When the two of them first saw Morax, they were full of surprise.
After all, when Morax left, he told them that he would be away for quite some time, so he would temporarily hand Liyue over to them for care.
But unexpectedly, they turned back so suddenly. However, Morax did not stay for too long. After briefly talking to them, he hurried away again.
They clearly remembered that Morax had told them: "...if you find anything unusual about me when I return to Liyue, don't be too nervous. Just treat me as you always do. Don't worry, there won't be any trouble."
So this 'abnormality' refers to the current situation?
So is the current situation indeed within Morax's plan and expected?
So why did Morax do this? What was his purpose?
Although the two pairs of eyes were a little confused when they looked at each other, out of trust in Morax, when they looked away, what they were thinking was...
——There must be a reason why Morax did this!
With Morax's advance vaccination, Guizhong and the Dragon King Ruota, who now knew some of the inside story, noticed that the tall figure in front of them was different from the friend in their memory.
After hearing the other party's firm and confident words, I began to believe them a little.
But I didn't believe it completely.
After all, what Morax said at the time was just an ambiguous "abnormality", and he did not tell them exactly that when they returned, the old friend they were familiar with would be a completely different "person" inside.
Therefore, in the current situation, there is a possibility that there is a problem with Morax's memory.
The solemn-looking Ruota Dragon King pondered for a moment and asked, "What is your origin? And why are you in Morax's body?"
"I am just an ordinary person." Yuan Zhuoyue smiled and replied, "I don't know what happened. When I woke up, I found myself in the Yunlai Sea. If there was no fleet passing by, I was found and escorted to Liyue Port, I really don't know what to do."
She later added: "If there is anything special about me, it's probably that I'm not from this world."
Such an answer could not satisfy the Dragon King Rudra, even though Morax had revealed the news in advance, allowing them to be prepared and remain rational after learning the news.
But the guy in front of him, who acted very calmly and was wearing the identity of Morax, was not honest.
This 'person' seemed to have explained his origins, but after carefully pondering his words, King Ruotu really couldn't figure out what useful information the other party had revealed.
What's more, since the moment he appeared, his words and actions were very similar to Morax's usual behavior... It was so flawless and extremely slippery.
Even though King Rāshtra was not good at strategy, he could see that this guy was not as ignorant as he described himself.
Thinking of this, King Ruotu immediately gave Guizhong a wink. Guizhong was wise and even he could see it, so Guizhong would naturally be more perceptive than him.
When the immortals heard this, they couldn't help but look panicked, although they really wanted to question the tall figure in front of them.
Since you are not the Emperor, where is our Emperor now? !
However, the leading Dragon King Ruota and Guizhong were both deep in thought and silent, so the other immortals were even more reluctant to disturb them at this time for fear of disrupting their thoughts.
But there are always people who seem to be unable to read the atmosphere and break the silence. They are the little Paimon floating in the air.
She said incredulously: "You mean, you are not Zhongli, but like the Traveler, you are from another world?"
Yuan Zhuoyue naturally nodded and said, "Yes, that's true."
"Eh?!" Little Paimeng exclaimed again: "But you speak in exactly the same tone as Zhongli!"
Yuan Zhuoyue heard this and hesitated for a moment: "If you like, I can also change my tone and communicate with you in a more lively tone."
Little Paimon waved his hands repeatedly, shaking his little head like a rattle, and quickly made a sound of rejection: "No, no, if Zhongli spoke to others in a lively tone like Walnut, it would be too scary!"
Seeing how shocked little Paimon was, Yuan Zhuoyue deliberately said mischievously, "In my opinion, being serious and lively are not contradictory."
Paimon still made a voice of refusal: "No... Although Zhongli can tell some funny jokes and is not a particularly serious person, it still feels strange when combined with the word "lively"!"
The traveler said nothing, but stared thoughtfully at the tall figure in front of him who was talking to Paimon.
After this interruption, the slightly stagnant atmosphere seemed to relax a bit.
After receiving the look from the Ruotu Dragon King, Gui Zhong finally seemed to have sorted out his thoughts and said, "...Thank you, sir, for not hiding anything and telling me the truth about the current situation. But... this is a serious matter, and I would like to discuss it with all the immortals."
