What brings you two here?
"It is not convenient for the Wangsheng Hall to receive unacquainted guests at the moment."
The young lady placed both hands on her abdomen and spoke in a soft and polite tone.
"We've come to find Zhongli."
"Could you pass on a message for us?"
Paimon looked at the young female attendant in front of him, her hands behind her back, and asked.
Chapter 48 Lady
"Mr. Zhongli is not in the hall at the moment."
"It seems he went to visit the Northern Bank."
Yi Guan Xiao Mei looked at Ying and Paimon in front of her and spoke.
"Northern Bank..."
"Isn't that the property of the Fools?"
Paimon lowered his chin with his little hand and murmured in confusion.
"Then...do you know where Qiu Nian went?"
Ying looked at the young female attendant in front of her and asked.
"Mr. Qiu Nian..."
"According to Mr. Zhongli, Mr. Qiu Nian went to take care of some things."
"As for what it is, I have no idea."
The young female attendant shook her head upon hearing this.
"The little thing Qiu Nian mentioned can't possibly be that simple..."
"Forget it, let's go find Zhongli first."
“That’s the territory of the Fools. He might be in danger there.”
After Paimon finished speaking, he and Ying headed towards the Northland Bank.
At this time, in the Northern Bank.
A person wearing a black crown-shaped mask.
A woman wearing a long black and white dress with a red striped cape with black velvet sleeves.
He seemed to be talking to Zhongli and the young master about something.
This woman has a great figure and wears a black crown-like garment.
It was Rosalyn Cruzshika Loefat, the eighth-ranking executive of the Fools.
"You're actually saying this is a collaboration between executives?"
"So-called cooperation should at least involve information sharing..."
The young master looked at the lady in front of him and questioned her angrily.
"Hehe... Don't worry about these things, young master."
"In the end, you ignored the deal and the calculations, and simply made a scene. Weren't you quite happy?"
"It suits your style perfectly..."
The woman chuckled softly upon hearing this, then turned her head and looked towards the doorway.
"...Wait, it seems like someone you know has arrived."
The woman looked towards the doorway and spoke.
At that moment, Ying and Paimon walked in through the door.
"It's Young Master Zhongli!"
"And...you are! You're that Executor of the Fools..."
Paimon was quite shocked when he looked at the woman.
When Ying saw the lady, she immediately adopted a posture.
"It's you."
"Have we met once in the bard's city?"
"Not bad, you remembered my name well."
The woman looked at Ying and Paimon in front of her and spoke.
"Ah...after all, it's like watching your friend have something important taken away from you."
"The feeling of being powerless to do anything...it's hard to forget, isn't it?"
The woman looked at Ying in front of her and spoke sarcastically.
Her tone also carried a self-deprecating tone that no one else could detect.
"It's not too late to take it back now."
Ying frowned upon hearing this, but replied without fear.
"Humph..."
"Arrogant... May I ask, how do you intend to confront the authority of two executives?"
Upon hearing this, the woman replied with a disdainful expression.
"Oh, this is the first time we've met since everything was over."
"Well, the atmosphere was a little... um... awkward?"
Just then, the young master broke the awkward atmosphere and greeted Ying.
"I shouldn't have trusted you when I found out you were the executor of the Fools!"
Paimon snorted at the young master upon hearing this.
"Don't say that, although I deceived you a little before."
"But I have no ill will towards this traveler..."
"Haha...except for the regrettable turn of events at the end."
"The previous collaboration was quite pleasant, wasn't it?"
The young master looked at Ying and Paimon in front of him, spread his hands, and asked with a smile.
"It's just a difference in perspective; I won't treat this as a personal grudge."
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you keep your personal grudges against me..."
The young master looked at Ying and Paimon in front of him and continued to explain.
"On the contrary, it's the lady, Mr. Zhongli, and Mr. Qiu Nian..."
"You really fooled me completely."
"You're just like me... you've been completely fooled by these three all along."
"I can't believe it," D'Artagnan said, covering his forehead with one hand.
Now he's really made a fool of himself.
"Madam and Zhongli...wait until Qiu Nian!"
What did they lie to you about?
"And what about Qiu Nian?! What's going on with him?!"
Paimon, realizing what was happening, stared at the young master before him and asked with wide eyes.
"This is a problem... I didn't expect it either..."
"I never expected, I never expected that there would be an ancient god other than Oser on the land of Liyue today."
The woman looked up and murmured in disbelief.
Moreover, he was a god whose power was almost equal to Morax's.
Hehe, in this world where only the Seven Gods exist today...
I was actually fortunate enough to meet two ancient gods outside of the seven gods, this is truly...
A god who has had no subjects since ancient times...
A god who possesses such great power without relying on the heart of God, and who does not belong to the seven gods.
He... surely he can understand Her Majesty the Queen's noble and pure ideals...
"Could Qiu Nian really be an Outer God?!"
Even now, Ying still finds it hard to believe that Qiu Nian is truly that Outer God.
But after hearing what the woman said, she truly believed it.
"Ugh..."
"I..."
Upon hearing Ying's surprised tone, the young master first covered his forehead and sighed.
He was about to say something when the woman interrupted him.
"Don't waste your time, young master."
"If you want to chat, wait until I finish my business before we can talk slowly."
The woman looked at Zhongli in front of her and said to D'Artagnan.
"As agreed..."
“I have come to take your heart of God, Morax.”
