Seeing that Mandrill was about to disappear, Jiang Bai quickly stopped teasing.
"I want to ask Mandrill what you think about the emperor's murder."
Regarding this question, Mandrill didn't say anything for a while.
What do you think?
Sit and watch.
As a minister, he has no right to comment on what the emperor wants to do.
"I can't imagine Liyue without the emperor. When all the immortals are found, we will definitely go to Liyue Port to investigate this matter and eliminate all demons and monsters!" Mandrill said this with murderous intent.
Obviously, what he said about eradicating all monsters and demons was no joke.
Jiang Bai began to worry about whether Zhongli could survive the pressure of the immortal
He tentatively said, "After the emperor's soul returns to heaven, do you think there will be the next rock god?"
"I don't know." Mandrill shook his head.
"Do you know Zhongli, our guest at the Palace of Purity?"
Upon hearing this name, Mandrill's eyelashes twitched.
"I heard something, what happened?"
"What do you think about him becoming the next Rock God?"
elf:?
He blinked, and then blinked again, feeling unusually confused.
Doesn’t the emperor want to retire? Why does he want to become the second rock god again?
He was silent for a long time, and turned his head under Jiang Bai's eager gaze.
"I just heard Hutao talk about this person, but I don't know much about him. I can't answer your question."
"Yes, my question is a bit too difficult." Jiang Bai raised his head and sighed.
Mandrill turned his head, "Why do you ask this?"
"It's nothing, it's just that after the emperor's soul returns to heaven, there must be a successor. Let me ask you immortals for their opinions."
Of course Jiang Bai would not tell the truth.
His relationship with Zhongli is obviously closer to Zhongli than his relationship with Mandrill.
Although he had been slandering Zhongli these past few days, he actually still recognized the man who had guided him from the beginning, and he could be regarded as both a teacher and a friend.
He actually didn't feel much about the death of Rock God. After all, he didn't know Rock God, so he didn't really have any sad emotions about the death of this god.
He just doesn't like the hall master to be sad.
But after death, there is no point in talking about these things. People always have to look back.
If Zhongli becomes the next Rock God, then he will be the disciple of the Rock God, and they will follow the chickens and dogs to heaven in the Hall of Rebirth.
But if Zhongli becomes the Rock God, how will he pass the level of an immortal?
Jiang Bai left with a heavy heart, leaving Mandrill with a confused look on his face.
Mandrill slowly finished the almond tofu on the table, thought about it, and finally decided to go to Liyue Port to find the emperor.
He had to ask clearly what the emperor meant, so as not to accidentally ruin the emperor's plan.
It was already dark when Mandrill arrived at Liyue Port, and Zhongli sat in his yard, pouring and drinking under the moonlight.
Mandrill suddenly appeared in front of him, bowing his head slightly to show respect, "Emperor."
"Why are you here?"
Zhongli poured him a glass of wine and motioned for him to sit down.
Mandrill sat across from him stiffly, staring at the wine glass in front of him.
"I met Jiang Bai at Wangshu Inn today."
"Oh?" Zhongli raised his eyebrows, with a hint of interest in his eyes, "What did he tell you?"
Mandrill raised his head, obviously very confused, "He asked me if the immortals will look for the successor of the Rock God, and what they think of your mortal status as the next Rock God."
Zhongli laughed, making Mandrill very confused.
"That guy talks about being dissatisfied, but his actions are quite honest."
elf:?
Why can't he understand what the emperor is saying?
Zhongli explained to him in a good mood, "He thinks I am the murderer who killed the Rock King, and he thinks that I killed the Rock King because I wanted to become the next Rock God."
elf:"."
He wanted to laugh a little, but held it back.
Seriously, if the emperor really wants to continue to be the Rock God, why would he need to fake his death and use his own vest to become the second emperor?
This speculation is really too outrageous.
But it’s understandable that people who don’t know the truth would guess like this.
"Then Emperor, don't you explain it to him?"
Mandrill was really a little worried that Jiang Bai would do something stupid, and the burden that the emperor had finally relieved would return to him.
"Why do you need to explain?" Zhongli knew Mandrill's worries, but these worries were somewhat unnecessary.
With Jiang Bai's character, he would not do anything intentionally.
At most, it's just like today to test the immortal's attitude.
He signaled Mandrill to drink, and Mandrill silently obeyed the command and drank all the wine in the cup.
Maybe it was because of the alcohol, or maybe because of talking about Jiang Bai's stupid things, the atmosphere was more relaxed, and he relaxed a lot, and his posture became much more natural.
Seeing that Mandrill had relaxed a lot, a little smile overflowed from Zhongli's eyes.
This child was always very reserved when facing him. Even after thousands of years, this problem has not changed.
Now that he is no longer the King of Rock, he is just a mortal Zhongli, so he does not have to abide by the previous etiquette of a monarch and his ministers.
After pouring wine for Mandrill again, Zhongli talked about more interesting things.
"He has determined that I am the murderer. No matter what I say or do, he will only become more convinced of his conjecture and ignore some other things. For example, he firmly believes that I have a problem with Emperor Yan Wang and wants to shake Li.
The rule of the moon is completely invisible and I have done nothing.”
The corner of Mandrill's mouth curled up, obviously he was amused.
I never expected that a person like Jiang Bai would think so outrageously.
Should I say that he is worthy of being brought out by Hu Tao? Neither of them takes an unusual path.
If other immortals knew about this, they would probably laugh out loud and laugh at it for hundreds of thousands of years.
"I'm quite curious about how he looks when he knows my identity." Zhong Li took a sip of wine, with a very obvious smile on his lips.
I hope Jiang Bai will not follow the ostrich example and bury his head.
Seeing that the emperor was so interested, Mandrill also wanted to know what it looked like, but due to his personality, he did not say what he was thinking.
The two were chatting when they suddenly heard a voice coming from far away, and Mandrill's figure disappeared in a flash.
"Mr. Zhongli, I have found everything." Jiang Bai stepped into Zhongli's yard with a few lotus pods, a few lotus flowers and a few lotus leaves in his hands, rolling up his trousers.
He was wearing slippers, and there was still some unwashed mud on his trousers from stepping into the lake to collect lotus pods.
He placed the lotus pods on the table and sat down on the stool opposite Zhongli.
In order to avoid being away for too long, he spent a lot of money to purchase these things everywhere, and even went to the Huachi on the other side of Mount Aozang to pick lotus pods.
He glanced at the half-empty wine glass in front of him and said in surprise: "Who is Mr. Zhongli drinking with?"
Zhongli did not answer his question, but instead cast his gaze on the lotus pods he brought.
"Aren't you unwilling to accept me as your teacher? How come you got everything together so quickly?"
Mandrill, who was hiding in the dark, opened his eyes in shock when he heard this.
