Chapter 123 The Five Immortals Have No Opinions
Then, Gu Chen bowed to Grandma Ping:
"This must be Grandma Ping, the True Lord of Gechenlang City, right?
I have heard of you from the Emperor before, but I am very sorry that I have not been able to meet you formally.
In fact, before gathering everyone this time, I should have informed you when I was in Liyue Harbor.
I overlooked it and asked Xiao to pass it on, and I'm so sorry for making you run so far!"
Grandma Ping stood with her hands behind her back, her back hunched, and she looked quite kind:
"You are so polite, Gou Chenxing.
Although Liyue Harbor is quite far from Mount Aozang, it’s good for me, an old woman, to get together with the old guys and stretch my legs.”
Hearing this, Gu Chen smiled and said:
"In that case, Grandma Ping doesn't have to call me Gou Chenxing. Just call me Gu Chen."
Seeing the two of them exchanging polite remarks, True Lord Liuyunjiefeng became impatient.
The arrogant fairy bird snorted directly:
“Alright, you two.
Ping, don't pretend.
Gu Chen, don't be so polite.
Especially you, Gu Chen.
I doubt you can see that her old-woman appearance is just an appearance."
Grandma Ping, who was standing next to Liu Yun, smiled and shook her head, saying slowly:
"Oh, Liuyun, you're just exposing my shortcomings right away. Your temper hasn't changed at all."
Liu Yun raised his head and turned his head:
"I have always had this temper!"
Seeing this, Gu Chen also smiled and tried to smooth things over:
“Of course I can see that the image of Grandma Ping is just a facade.
However, as far as I know, there is a reason why Grandma Ping chose this image.
Since there is a reason, I have to respect her.
It’s hard for me to be disrespectful to this image.”
Grandma Ping looked at Gu Chen with satisfaction:
“You are indeed worthy of being entrusted with such an important task by the Emperor.
This makes me look inconsiderate. Should I restore my original appearance?"
Grandma Ping was a little tempted and wondered if she should temporarily return to being the young girl Ping.
Gu Chen and Paimeng were very excited and wondered what kind of beauty this woman would be.
However, Liu Yun seemed a little unhappy because everyone's attention was on Grandma Ping:
“It doesn’t matter what you look like, that’s not the point today.
The point is, we are gathered here today because of Gu Chen's call.
Gu Chen, don’t you have something to say?
Speak quickly, don't delay!"
Looking at the impetuous True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng, Gu Chen shook his head.
So next, he didn't keep the secret any longer and looked at Paimeng next to him.
When Paimon received the look, he was stunned at first, then helpless.
Oh, too.
You have to do the laborious task of describing the cause and effect yourself.
In Gu Chen's words, he has to take on the responsibility of the Mouth of God at critical moments.
Next, Paimeng adjusted his thinking and started the story from the beginning:
"The thing is like this..."
This is how it is, and this is how it is. Paimeng told all the causes and consequences of everything that happened to the immortals.
Occasionally, if there are things that are not explained clearly, Gu Chen will supplement them to ensure that the immortals can understand clearly.
After everything was explained, Paimeng's mouth was dry, and the five immortals also understood everything.
It was because they understood that they looked at each other in confusion.
After a period of silence, Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun was the first to resist the urge to complain.
This True Lord suddenly flapped his wings twice, feeling quite strange:
"The Emperor is truly a jerk, abdicating for no reason at all.
We can also understand the Emperor's desire to rest.
But if you want to abdicate, then abdicate. Why fake your own death?"
Liu Yun nodded in agreement and took over the conversation:
"Yes, I don't quite understand it either."
Gu Chen explained:
"According to Zhongli... oh, the Emperor.
The reason why he chose to fake his death was that he wanted to let go completely and give the people of Liyue a push.
But...even he didn't expect that there was such a flaw in his fake death plan, so I took the opportunity to fix it for him.
Even more than making amends, I also gave the Emperor a chance to return legitimately in the future, turning his fake death abdication into a half-death abdication."
When he said this, Gu Chen couldn't help but look at the immortals:
"Hey everyone, you won't blame me for meddling in your business, right?"
True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang shook his head:
"not at all.
On the contrary, I think you acted just right.
The emperor's fake death and abdication was indeed a bit sudden.
He had just fought a battle with the Ice Queen a few days ago, and now he has died. It is indeed a bit... unacceptable.
Thanks to you, Gu Chen, for redressing the Emperor."
Gu Chen waved his hand, looking humble:
"No, no, I'm just going with the flow."
At this time, Grandma Ping was thinking and speaking:
“So that’s what happened.
Gu Chen, to be honest with you, I, an old woman, have been staying in Yujingtai for many years, and I have indeed heard a lot of rumors today.
These rumors were all about the emperor's murder, which made the glass lilies less likely to bloom.
I was also in a bad mood after hearing that news. Thank you for helping me clear up my confusion.
As for your move, I think it is quite appropriate.
In particular, it paves the way for the Emperor, allowing him to transition from a state of suspended death to a state of semi-death recuperation, giving him a reason to return in the future.
I think this is very appropriate.”
Gu Chen seemed to have met someone who could understand him, and he looked at Grandma Ping with surprise.
Grandma Ping said slowly:
"Just like Xie Yue said, the Emperor just displayed his divine power, and then he suddenly fell.
Such a huge blow to the people of Liyue is somewhat unbearable, and will also make a considerable number of Liyue people feel deeply confused.
Your actions have given Liyue a chance to adapt.
In the eyes of the people of Liyue, the Emperor has not completely fallen, and they have some hope left.
But at the same time, they also deeply understood that the Emperor could no longer protect them, and they had to become independent and strong.
This way, the Emperor's goal of returning power to the people of Liyue can be achieved, while also making it easier for the people of Liyue to accept it. It can be said that we kill two birds with one stone."
Gu Chen felt a little embarrassed by Grandma Ping's praise.
I feel that Grandma Ping’s praise is a bit too much. Gu Chen feels that he is not that thoughtful or that good.
While hiding his embarrassment, Gu Chen looked at Xiao one last time:
"Xiao, you haven't expressed your opinion yet. What do you think?"
Xiao's expression was calm and expressionless:
“I have no objection.
Since it is the Emperor's intention to abdicate, I will obey His Majesty's arrangements regardless of the method of abdication."
These simple words made Paimeng speechless:
"Uh... As expected of you."
Gu Chen nodded. He wanted to complain like this as well.
Since the five great immortals have no objections, then Gu Chen has something to say:
“It seems that everyone agrees with the Emperor’s plan, and also with mine.
The Emperor's plan was simple: to abdicate and then test Liyue Harbor.
My plan is also very simple, which is to go with the flow.
Therefore, I hope everyone can cooperate with me and the Emperor from now on."
