"Looks like I've missed something."
After saying that, Qiu Nian turned her gaze to the teapot.
Paimon nodded upon hearing this.
Are you an immortal?
Ying looked at Grandma Ping in front of her and asked.
Having such abilities means one is certainly not an ordinary person, so there's only one answer.
"Immortal... I haven't heard anyone seriously mention those two words in a long time."
"As for whether I am an immortal or not, child, don't you understand in your heart?"
Grandma Ping felt a pang of emotion upon hearing this, and then looked at Ying in front of her and asked in return.
"I understand."
Ying smiled upon hearing this.
It's obvious that Granny Ping must be a deity.
"So you are actually an immortal."
Qiu Nian looked at Grandma Ping in front of her and said with a surprised expression.
"Ha ha..."
Grandma Ping found it amusing to watch Qiu Nian put on such a dramatic performance.
"Hmm... I think I understand, but I also think I don't."
"But Grandma, you... you're just giving us the bell like this?"
Aside from Ying and Qiu Nian, only Paimon's mind is currently blank.
Aren't you surprised?
"The Rock King Emperor just had an accident, and we rushed to you to ask for the bell..."
Paimon looked at Grandma Ping in front of him and felt very surprised.
Chapter 18 Qiu Nian Under Interrogation
“Silly child... Throughout history, countless immortals have left Liyue Harbor.”
"I wonder how many storms they stirred up."
"But no matter which time it was, we always followed the rules and made sure the ceremony for sending off the immortals was conducted properly before arranging the rest."
"They keep shouting to catch the murderer, but they're delaying the discussion of the Immortal Sending Ceremony. In my opinion, that's putting the cart before the horse."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Ping looked at Paimon in front of her and began to explain.
But could it be that the Emperor really...
Grandma Ping sighed as she thought about this.
"After all, respect for the dead is paramount."
Qiu Nian nodded upon hearing this.
"Yes...now you can borrow the bell."
"I suspect that some old friend finally couldn't stand it anymore and stepped in to take charge."
"So why would I refuse to lend you the bell?"
Upon hearing this, Grandma Ping nodded to the three people in front of her.
"What if your old friend borrows the bell and doesn't return it?"
Ying looked at Grandma Ping in front of her and asked.
"Not return it? Hahaha, if they really have the nerve to do that."
"Then I guess I'll have to make a trip."
"It's been a long time since we've seen them, so it would be nice to go over for tea and a chat."
"Alright, now that you've got the stuff, hurry back so you don't cause any problems."
Grandma Ping looked at Ying and Paimon in front of her and said with a smile.
"Oh, and also, please pass on a message to the person who sent you here. Just say..."
"If you have time, you are welcome to come over for tea."
"I don't have much to my name, but I do have a teapot."
Grandma Ping looked at Ying and Paimon in front of her and added.
After saying this, Grandma Ping looked at Qiu Nian.
Unfortunately, the ceremony to invite the immortals is now being presided over not by the immortals themselves, but by the Hall of Rebirth.
Aren't you surprised that Zhongli knew Grandma Ping had a teapot?
Furthermore, Zhongli also mentioned that Granny Ping was his friend, and that he was friends with immortals. Indeed, Zhongli's identity is not simple.
Many people now speculate that Zhongli is actually the Rock King Emperor.
Indeed, he practically has "I am the Rock King Emperor" written all over his face.
At this point, the viewers in Xuehua's live stream also began to analyze the situation.
"We'll remember that, thank you, Grandma!"
Upon hearing this, Paimon looked at Grandma Ping in front of him and nodded with a smile.
After saying goodbye to Grandma Ping, the three headed towards Zhongli's location.
That is, go to the place where the items for the ritual of inviting the immortals are placed.
Upon arrival, they indeed saw Zhongli, who was already waiting.
"Indeed, this is the Dust-Cleansing Bell... Hmm, it's been kept in very good condition."
"Let's also put the perfume balm we made earlier in there."
After putting it away, Zhongli noticed that Ying and Pai Meng were staring at him with suspicion.
"Do you know Grandma Ping?"
Ying looked at Zhongli in front of her and asked the question that had been on her mind.
"Of course I know him."
"Otherwise, how would I know that she had this bell?"
Upon hearing this, Zhongli looked at Ying in front of him and began to explain.
"Hmm...you two are both very suspicious..."
"They actually know Granny Ping, who is an immortal."
"There are many suspicious points, but if you don't want to talk about them, we won't press you for now."
Paimon looked at Qiu Nian and Zhong Li in front of him and spread out his little hands.
"Ha ha..."
"Mr. Zhongli is clearly more suspicious."
Qiu Nian smiled upon hearing this.
"You're also somewhat suspicious."
"Although Zhongli is not as suspicious."
Ying looked at Qiu Nian in front of her and said with a disdainful expression.
"Oh, by the way, that old lady asked us to pass on a message to you."
"If you have time, you are welcome to come over for tea."
"I don't have much to my name, but I do have a teapot."
Paimon seemed to remember something, and then, mimicking Granny Ping's tone, spoke to Zhongli.
"Haha, that tone doesn't suit you very well."
"However, her teapot is indeed excellent; it's perfect for brewing tea."
Upon hearing this, Zhongli was immediately amused by the adorable little Paimon.
Even Qiu Nian couldn't help but chuckle.
This can be considered a memorable scene.
"When the time is right, I will naturally bring good tea... to see her."
Zhongli crossed his arms over his chest, looked at Paimon in front of him, and said with a touch of nostalgia.
"Ahhhh, Mr. Zhongli smiled!"
"You have such a beautiful smile!"
Xuehua looked at Zhongli on the screen with a lovestruck expression.
[Answerer, please calm down. But it's true, sir's smile is absolutely stunning!]
"So..."
"What should be the next step in preparing for the ceremony?"
Paimon looked at Zhongli in front of him and asked.
"Hmm, next item..."
"Let's go buy a kite."
Zhongli thought for a moment, then spoke.
"Is Zhongli taking us kite flying?"
