Genshin Impact: I am an ordinary executive

Chapter 682: Fake corpse?

When the voice suddenly appeared behind them, all the immortals were startled and felt a chill in their hearts.

As immortals, even if they are not good at fighting, they have extraordinary perception abilities when they get serious.

But the sound appeared so suddenly and was so close. It was not difficult to imagine how passive they would be if the owner of the sound had malicious intentions.

But then again, if they really came with malicious intent, they probably wouldn't be completely unaware of it. After all, they are quite sensitive to malicious intent.

The chill and horror only flashed by subconsciously for a moment and then disappeared, because most people present quickly recognized the owner of the voice.

It is not uncommon for the other party to suddenly appear behind you.

"Brother Zuo, you came at a bad time... We may not be in the mood to entertain you right now, please forgive me."

The immortals turned around and saw Zuo Xi standing there looking at the Emperor with interest.

Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang was the first to speak out to apologize, and also said that they were unable to spare the time now as they had more important things to do and could not take care of Zuo Xi.

"You, you must be bored... I don't have time to care about you. If you really have nothing to do, it would be a great help if you can help us protect the surroundings."

Liu Yun snorted at first. She was used to Zuo Xi's careless behavior. Under normal circumstances, she might have chatted with him for a few minutes. After all, they were specialized in the same field and she loved chatting.

But now, no matter the situation or the atmosphere, it is not suitable for chatting. The emperor is in a critical condition and cannot afford to waste too much time.

Ruotu Dragon King advocated to liberate the emperor, but this opinion would not be agreed by everyone. However, this would not be an obstacle, because everyone present was reasonable.

They have all signed a contract with the Emperor to protect Liyue forever...so, they will all consider Liyue.

Even if this point is put aside, the painful appearance of the Emperor being worn out and tortured makes them feel powerless and anxious. In fact, everyone knows that it is better to let the Emperor go crazy or be tortured forever under the seal.

It would be better to give him a relief. This is the best thing you can do for him as a friend and subordinate.

So, even if it is emotionally difficult to accept, even if some people disagree.

But they would only quietly arrange themselves in other places - after all, the energy released by the fall of the Demon God would destroy the world, not to mention a powerful god like the Emperor.

Those who disagree with this matter will only take the initiative to assume the responsibility of protecting the surroundings and are unwilling to face the death of the Emperor, but they will definitely not take action to stop it.

As Zuo Xi was one of the emperor's good friends, Liu Yun couldn't bear to let him watch all this happen. And since the other party had already come, it was obviously unrealistic and inappropriate to drive him away.

That's why Liu Yun asked Zuo Xi to help them block the inevitable impact when she had nothing to do... Taking care of others with an indifferent, even somewhat disdainful and tsundere tone, this may be the gentleness that is unique to tsunderes.

"...I will guard the southeast."

Xiao finally spoke his first words since the gathering. He was still very frugal with words. I don't know if it was because of his poor ability to express himself, or because he had been fighting alone for many years, which had caused his language ability to deteriorate.

But his meaning was still conveyed - as expected, the Demon-Subduing Great Sage, who was saved by the Emperor and regarded the Emperor as the most respected person, could not accept this.

So he volunteered to guard the surrounding area and use his body to resist the last power of the Emperor in this world.

The southeast was not just a random choice for him, because this direction was Liyue Harbor, and the Demon Subduing Sage still left the most dangerous and critical place for himself.

To defend to the death has never been a metaphor or exaggeration for him.

"The Great Sage Who Conquers Demons... Hmm? Dragon King, what's wrong with you?"

Ganyu looked at Xiao sadly. This immortal was always like this. Among the many things that deserved attention and protection, his own life was always the last one to be ranked.

Ganyu glanced at the Great Sage Subduing Demons and discovered that something seemed to be wrong with the Dragon King Ruota. She turned her head and saw that the Dragon King was looking at Mr. Zuo Xi with a very complicated look.

Ganyu couldn't quite tell what kind of look that was, maybe it was joy, maybe it was disbelief. But in any case, it didn't seem like the emotion one should show when meeting a friend.

Even though Mr. Zuo Xi had the grace of saving Lord Dragon King's life, he should not have felt "delighted" when they met but rather a feeling of "knowing smile".

Gan Yu couldn't understand the look of disbelief. Was it unbelievable that Mr. Zuo Xi suddenly appeared?

Moreover, it was common for Mr. Zuo Xi to visit Jueyunjian. When he couldn't find Lord Emperor in Liyue Harbor, he would come here to try his luck... This was all told to her by her master.

This time, Mr. Zuo Xi probably came to Jueyunjian for the same reason, right? It was just that he ran into this kind of thing as soon as he arrived... Gan Yu was immersed in the sadness of the Emperor's impending departure, so it was easy for her to imagine Mr. Zuo Xi's mood at this moment.

Then again, why does King Rāshtra have such an expression?

"Eh? Lord Emperor? Why are you also... No, now is not the time to talk about this.

Mr. Zuo Xi, do you have any solution to the current situation? Lord Emperor is suffering from increased wear and tear for some reason, do you have any solution?"

Before Ganyu could come to a conclusion as to why Ruota was behaving so abnormally, she caught a glimpse of the Emperor's unusual expression out of the corner of her eye.

If the Emperor's eyes were filled with despair and silence before, now Ganyu could feel that the stagnant water had begun to stir again.

Why is this? Why did the Emperor have such emotional fluctuations when he saw Mr. Zuo Xi?

This time Ganyu didn’t think about the answer, because the Emperor’s emotional fluctuations were an unexpected surprise.

Maybe Mr. Zuo Xi has a way to stabilize the situation of Lord Emperor? She thought of what Mr. Zuo Xi said at the beginning.

He said he thought things might not be that troublesome... so, does that imply that he really has a way to solve it?

So Ganyu asked Zuo Xi for help without any hesitation, and soon the immortals also reacted and asked Zuo Xi for some advice.

They didn't explain it as clearly as Ganyu did, they just gave their suggestions directly.

This way, Zuo Xi won't have any psychological burden, and even if things don't work out, he won't feel any self-blame or anything like that.

"Zuo Xi...you, are you really Zuo Xi?"

Ruo Tuo, who had been in a daze for a long time, finally came back to his senses when the immortal general Zuo Xi came up to him and Zuo Xi gradually approached.

As soon as she came to her senses, the first sentence she said raised question marks in the heads of all the other people present who were unaware of the situation.

What kind of trick is this? Could it be that this Zuo Xi is someone else pretending to be her?

"it's me."

That's right, he could appear in Jueyunjian silently. And his appearance was so similar... Although his temperament and momentum had some subtle changes, in general, who else could he be but Zuo Xi.

However, before the question marks on the heads of the immortals here disappeared, Ruota's next sentence made them have more question marks and exclamation marks.

"But, aren't you dead? I... I saw you dig out your own heart with my own eyes. What... what's going on?"

Rudra was in chaos, and the immortals were in even greater chaos than her.

Zuo Xi is dead? When did it happen? Zuo Xi is dead, so what is this Zuo Xi now?

Wait...a friend's life...could this friend be Zuo Xi?

Could it be that it was the Emperor's desire to abide by the contract that indirectly led to the death of the so-called Zuo Xi?

If this is true, then it is no wonder that the Emperor has become like this... Not to mention the Emperor, even they would probably find it hard to accept.

No matter what the reason, indirectly causing the death of a friend will become a shadow that a person will find difficult to get out of throughout his life.

But then again, Zuo Xi is clearly not dead? Even though the Dragon King said he dug out his heart...

With Zuo Xi's physical condition... no, as long as he is still a normal living being, he will not be able to survive after his heart is dug out.

So it was a mistake after all?

"Now is not the time to explain. You just need to know that I am back... Brother Zhongli, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look much more haggard, don't you?"

Zuo Xi did not chat with everyone one by one. Zhongli's current state was indeed not one that people would have the leisure to chat with.

If it weren't for that unique temperament, who would have thought that this lifeless guy would be the once high-spirited Morax?

"...Brother Zuo, I'm so glad you're okay."

Zhongli gave the most heartfelt smile he had seen in recent days. He was truly happy for Zuo Xi's resurrection.

But even so, he didn't want to go on. He had already figured it out before - he didn't want to experience the death of his friends again.

"Brother Zuo, can you please take care of Liyue from now on?"
