As the discussion continued, the people, who had been in extreme panic due to the death of Emperor Rock, seemed to have found an outlet for their anger and began to indirectly direct their criticism at Inazuma.
But Ying discovered that those who deliberately guided the direction of public discussion seemed to know each other.

The Omniscient and Almighty: Chapter 8 Ying: I won't give up! (K chapter)
But to be honest, Ying was not very sure of her judgment.
Because what these people say is not conducive to unity!
After her adventure in Mondstadt, she is no longer the newbie who can only rely on the best () Paimon to introduce information.
Although there were a lot of dirty things among the seven kingdoms, for example, when she was in Mondstadt, she witnessed the conflict between Mondstadt and Solstice with her own eyes, and was even held down by the shoulders by two Fatui debt collectors, making her stand like a minion, which became a black history that she could not erase.
But in fact, the seven countries are allies. According to the intelligence collected by Ying, the Seven Rulers of the World can be said to be the seven most noble gods under the Sky Island, representing the order of Teyvat.
It was for this reason that Ying chose to escape two days ago when "the Emperor was assassinated and the scene was sealed off"... because she had no idea whether the god who claimed to be the "maintainer of heaven's law" five hundred years ago was among the Seven Gods, and she could not be sure of the attitudes of other countries towards her.
After all, it’s impossible that every god is like Wendy and doesn’t want to care about Sky Island at all, right?
In Yingmei's eyes, the Seven Ruling Powers of the Earth is a stable system proposed by Heaven and managed by His seven loyal subordinates!
Oh, Wendy should be an exception!
Therefore, in her opinion, these discussions of the people of Liyue were too much. Without any basis, they actually directed their anger at Inazuma and even questioned General Lei Dian, who was also famous for his military prowess. Wasn't this making things worse for Liyue?
Regardless of the actual situation, on the surface Liyue has indeed lost its biggest nuclear weapon. At this time, the gods of Inazuma came to visit with a friendly attitude, which should have been a good thing for Liyue. It would be really stupid if it was ruined like this.
Even Ying, a bystander, could realize the serious consequences. She could not understand the purpose of these people's stirring up trouble.
"Wait, could it be the Fatui?" Ying's face changed slightly. On her way to Liyue, she heard that Inazuma had announced the severance of diplomatic relations with Zhidong and ordered the execution of any Fatui who entered Inazuma's territory. The Fatui had every reason to be a troublemaker.
Don’t be fooled by her silly look, but she has traveled to countless planets. Her age... is a delicate and beautiful girl of 17 years old!
As early as two days ago when she met Young Master, she guessed that the Fatui had a conspiracy in Liyue, but she was wanted by the Seven Stars at the time, and had no choice but to take the Scroll of No Taboos to Jueyunjian to find an immortal to clear her name. Later, when she returned to Liyue Harbor, she found that Young Master, a man from the Winter Solstice, was actually busy helping Morax with his funeral, which further confirmed this point.
You know, the young master is just "temporarily leaving the Winter Capital", so why does he seem to care about Emperor Rock King more than Qixing?
Although she was constantly complaining in her heart, Ying did not show it on the surface. She pretended to be confused and silly, looking around like an ordinary foreign tourist who came to Liyue, and approached the people who were shouting the loudest.

As the dock had been cleared by the Qianyan Army, more and more people gathered on the street and the discussion never stopped. They even talked about how two days ago Qixing had issued a wanted warrant for a blonde stranger, believing that she was the murderer of the Emperor, but today they inexplicably withdrew the warrant.
Ying was surprised by the discussions of the people of Liyue. She didn't expect that they could even involve her. But after thinking about it carefully, she found that there was indeed a problem with Qixing's handling of the matter.
Because even Zhongli had complained to her, saying that the Seven Stars had forgotten the traditions of Liyue and that the Hall of Rebirth had to pay for the ceremony itself... You know, she was already doubting Zhongli's true identity, and Zhongli himself was dissatisfied with the Seven Stars' actions, not to mention the people who were in panic.
'The main reason is the information asymmetry. The people were already anxious and panicked because of the death of Emperor Yan, but Qixing has been adopting a high-pressure control policy. Even if this incident did not happen, the people would find another outlet. 'Ying quickly realized the essence.
But she could probably guess the reason behind it. Liyue was founded by Geo King, and he meant a lot to Liyue. Even the Seven Stars found it difficult to step out of the comfort zone protected by Geo King, and they might not be able to make the right decision in an emergency.
At this time, the Qianyan Army, who were responsible for maintaining order, noticed the people's discussions and surrounded them with swords and guns.
"Stop! What were you guys talking about? You slandered foreign gods without any basis. Are you trying to destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries?"
"Don't say anything that is not conducive to unity!"
The Qianyan Army immediately checked the few people that Yingmei had just paid attention to, but contrary to Yingmei's expectations, these people were not the Zhidong people she had imagined, but authentic Liyue citizens, and they all had decent jobs.
The Thousand Rocks Army was also surprised by this result, because according to the news they received, the Fatui had been very restless recently, and had been operating in the city using the Northland Bank as their base. Lady Ningguang, taking into account the complete break between Zhidong and Inazuma, thought that Zhidong might take advantage of General Raiden's arrival to make trouble, and that's why she sent so many Thousand Rocks Army to clear the docks.
But now it seems... Nani, the information is false?
Those who were detained by the Qianyan Army immediately started shouting.
"The whole street of Qixing is looking for a foreigner who just came to Liyue, and he did something stupid and doesn't allow others to say anything? Is there still law in Liyue? I want to see Lawyer Yan Fei!"
The soldiers of Qianyan Army looked at each other, and couldn't help but feel a little shaken. After all, Qixing's wanted notice was indeed very problematic, and it seemed like they were looking for someone to take the blame.
Qixing might as well say that Prince Yan was faking his death, and he was just secretly meeting with General Lei Dian to tell her not to mess things up!
But it is the duty of soldiers to obey orders. Although they had doubts in their hearts, they still took these people away for investigation to avoid causing greater impact.
Yingmei witnessed the whole process from the side. As she was relatively close, she could see it clearly this time. Those who were leading the pace had eye contact the whole time. There was definitely someone behind this planning.
She secretly took this matter to heart, and her intuition told her that this was very important information, which might serve as a trigger to start a legendary quest.
Yes, relying on her mysterious intuition, Yingmei can feel that the legendary mission starting with Ying is getting closer and closer, and it may be related to Inazuma. She can't wait.
Is it General Lei Dian? Or is it her disciple Fang Yun?
Wait, she didn’t even have time to ask, what country is this Fang Yun from?
He is obviously Inazuma's Ming Shen Tianzi, but why is it that once this name comes to Liyue, it seems as if it has adapted to the nationality of Liyue? It is even more outrageous than her, the Traveler. Ying is already doubting Fang Yun's talent in equipment.
However, while she was deep in thought, Paimon flew over from the side.
"Traveler, hey, what are you doing standing here like an idiot? There's a delicious snack shop next to us, let's go check it out!" Paimon happily circled around Ying, stomping his feet in the air excitedly.
Yingmei raised her eyebrows and said, "What do you mean by standing there like an idiot? I deliberately pretended to be confused and walked here to get information! Those people have ulterior motives, and if I rashly follow them, I will definitely be suspected!"
She felt that Paimon didn't understand her efforts at all.
Ying even made up a fake name just now. If those Liyue people who were trying to stir up trouble asked her her name, she would answer that her name was Alicia.
In the case of Paimon, maybe he would have foolishly said his real name? The smarter way would have been to use the name of someone he knew, like Rosaria.
"Ah?" Paimon opened his mouth wide, astonished as if a big fried dough stick could be stuffed in.
"What? Ying, were you just asking for information? Why do you look exactly the same as usual?"
"Ok?"
Yingmei's eyes became strange. She asked Paimon seriously and found that this guy was not joking.
Paimon counted on his fingers and said, "Yeah, you look just as silly as before... So this is the true character of the legend?"
"Paimon!" The fair and tender cheeks instantly turned slightly red, warning Paimon.
At this moment, she remembered that Qin Hunchang and Lisa seemed to have said something similar... Damn it, she is obviously a girl as beautiful as a flying flower, why does she look so silly?
"Okay, okay, Ying, let's go eat something! I'm so hungry!" Paimon covered his stomach with a look of grievance.
Ying ignored the excitement and hope in her eyes and just stared at her expressionlessly.
She didn't eat today, not only because she wanted to find a task outside, but also because she couldn't afford to eat and had to make some money first.
For some reason, Ying was very anxious to complete the mission, so she often accepted commissions without asking for anything in return. As a result, although she stayed in Mondron for a while after the end of the disaster, she did not actually earn much income.
She and Paimon were able to come to Liyue from Mondstadt purely relying on the money given by Jean out of friendship... Jean was born into a noble family, her wealth was second only to Diluk, and she was an upright and kind person, which was what Ying imagined an ideal blonde female knight should be like.
But unfortunately, due to their lack of knowledge about the prices in Teyvat, and Paimon's daily extra meals, the two of them had run out of money a long time ago. They had to follow Zhongli and eat Young Master's meals to solve the problem of food and clothing.
"No, if we want to eat, we can only go to Wanmin Hall and order two bowls of plain noodles. We have no money left!" Ying refused firmly.
"Ah? How come it's gone so quickly? Didn't Captain Qin give us a lot of Mora?"
"That's a question for you, Paimon."
Seeing Yingmei questioning him with her hands on her hips, Paimeng scratched his head embarrassedly: "Hehe, there's nothing I can do. Your brother certainly doesn't want us to go to him with an empty stomach, right?"
So, we have to go to see my brother with a bulging belly?
Yingmei wanted to say this, but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly felt something was not right.
She is still a pure 17-year-old girl, how can she make such a joke!
and--
She felt that it was impossible for her to become like that! No one in Teyvat could bring her sister down!
Even if I bear the seal and need to rely on Paimon, my sister Ying is still invincible in the world!
This is the backbone and dignity of a female knight. She wants to be an unyielding blonde knight like Jean!
Ying took a deep breath and snorted, "Paimeng, stop talking nonsense and go find a place to screw screws and make some money."
"Ah? Can't I eat first and then do the task?" Paimon was still thinking about eating.
Ying sighed helplessly, Paimon’s head was only slightly bigger than a cup, so why could he eat so much?
"Or should we go and ask the young master for a free meal?" Paimeng suggested, raising his little hand.
Ying shook her head and said, "Forget it. It's okay to follow Zhongli to get a free meal, but we should not get too close to the Fatui. Don't forget what they did in Mondstadt."
She was not only upset about having her shoulders held down by two debt collectors, but in Ying's eyes, her friend Wendy was slapped in the face by the lady at the door of West Wind Church and her Heart of God was taken away, which made her have a very bad impression of the Fatui.
Of course, looking back now, she felt that there must be some past events that she didn't know about... When doing Wendy's legendary quest, she saw with her own eyes that Wendy could actually fish out other people's souls from the Cinders Sea. Even though Wendy's divine power was not much compared to other gods, he was not something the lady could deal with, and he was willing to take the slap from the lady.
But no matter what, she really couldn't have a good impression of the Fatui, an organization that would do human experiments at all costs. Even if there were a few good people among them, it couldn't change the fact that the Fatui did evil.
She heard on the way that a shocking case related to the Fatui's human experiments had occurred in Xumi. There were thousands of victims, and only ten people survived the torture of the Fatui. The Fatui in Xumi also confessed to it.
The Fatui's methods even drove the kindest elf Lanarro crazy, and now Lanarro has become more and more cruel!
The newspapers said it was called the Wuliutuo Killing Machine!
The people of the sand who had witnessed Lannaro summoning the Thousand-Armed Buddha statue to suppress the giant dragon called him General Lan. They admired bravery and were completely convinced, because the giant dragon in the desert was an enemy that even the Red King could not deal with. Their respect for General Lan even exceeded that of the Grass God of Xumi.
Yes, Inazuma has General Raiden, and we in Xumi also have General Ran!
If General Lan could be found, these people of the sand would probably want to put a "red robe" on him and let him sit on the throne of Xumi.
After Ying said this, Paimon suppressed his greedy desire and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Okay, it's not good to walk with the Fatui."
After the two men finished talking, they decided to find a place to work first, but at this time, many people nearby exclaimed.
Ying followed the crowd and looked into the distance, only to see a huge warship slowly approaching from the sea, causing waves along the way.
"Is this the Death Star? No, this is much bigger than the Death Star! Is this Inazuma's warship?"
"That's not right. A warship used exclusively by gods certainly can't be bad. Captain Beidou's Death Star is already very powerful!"
The magnificent warship attracted Yingmei's attention. She noticed the triple thunder pattern on Inazuma's warship, and her thoughts that had been disrupted by Paimon were reconnected.
In order to find out the whereabouts of Kong, she must find out information from Inazuma, and now is undoubtedly a good opportunity.
Of course, she was not a reckless person. It was too dangerous to meet the god without knowing his attitude, so she set her target on Fang Yun.
As the monarch of Inazuma, Fang Yun should know some information if Kong had appeared in Inazuma, and he could also ask him about General Lei Dian's attitude.
But how to approach Fang Yun? The intelligence just now is not enough to meet with Fang Yun, a national leader.
As for sneaking in to investigate? That's impossible!
Not to mention that she would be regarded as an enemy, Ying had read a lot of books in the library of the Knights. If a blonde female knight like her who had not yet recovered her strength played like this, she would usually be defeated.
And Inazuma seems to be very good at interrogation!
In Yingmei’s mind, a scene appeared of herself lying on the ground with lifeless eyes, saying “Gu, kill me”.
Unfortunately...that's impossible!
She is a cautious sister, and she will not be cautious if she is captured by Fang Yun!
Unless the Fang Yun opposite is the intelligence Fang Yun, there is nothing she can do to her.
Ying racked her brains to think, and at this time, two warships also stopped at the dock.
Ying and Paimeng couldn't help but look up, but unfortunately there were too many people gathered at this time. Even though it was already late at night and the Thousand Rocks Army was there to maintain order, the crowd was still squeezed into a black mass.
Although the discussion about Inazuma just now was somewhat destructive to unity, that was only because someone was deliberately guiding the emotions of the people. The three countries of Liyue, Inazuma and Mondstadt have always maintained good relations, and most people still hope to restore diplomatic relations with Inazuma. Moreover, everyone is also very interested in the arrival of foreign gods, which is a rare event that only happens once in a thousand years.
"No matter what, Lord Yan is... Alas, no matter how reluctant I am to admit it, I have to face this reality. Liyue needs allies now."
"Yes, and the gods of Rock, Wind, and Thunder have always been on good terms. The arrival of General Thunder may help stabilize the situation in Liyue."
"Wait, the guy next to General Raiden is Inazuma's Narukami Tenko? Oh my god, he's walking side by side with General Raiden!"
The people exclaimed in disbelief. In their understanding, the Seven Rulings were the founders of the kingdom. How could the people under their command have a status equal to that of gods?
Aren’t Inazuma the most particular about hierarchy?
Ying was also a little surprised. Her gaze stayed on the heroic purple-haired lady for a while, and then moved to the black-haired young man beside her.
At this moment, the mysterious premonition reached its peak. Ying could feel that Fang Yun was the one who could trigger the "Ying X Chapter". It was a pity that Ying still could not guess what this mysterious X was.
