Chapter 99: Khediv Returns to the Exploration Team
Not long after, Khediv returned to the surface mining area of the Layered Chasm. After all, he had suffered too much setbacks at the hands of the General Affairs Department not long ago. Of course, he also made the General Affairs Department compromise with Khediv on some interests.
The first thing he wanted to do after returning to the exploration team was to look for Sister Jinwu. Because he had asked the same question at the General Affairs Department, and their reply was to go back and wait for notification.
So Hedi was very curious about which big boss from Liyue they sent over. It couldn’t be the Emperor.
Although Haidifu also wanted to consider that the person who came here was the emperor, he felt it was outrageous no matter how he thought about it. Although most people may have forgotten one thing, before Tianhe became the Emperor of Rock King, he had always called himself a traveler from another world.
It's just that because Tianhe's Rock King is so famous, many people subconsciously forgot about this matter. As a scholar of the Academy of the Order, Haidi naturally also has information about Tianhe's travelers, but he subconsciously selectively forgot about this matter.
So when he returned to the exploration team camp, he saw a familiar figure, which startled him. After a closer look, he found that it was indeed the Rock King Emperor. His first reaction was that he might have hallucinations.
Because when he returned to the Chasm, he did not ask the Thousand Winds Army. On the one hand, he suffered a loss at the General Affairs Department, and on the other hand, he came back in a hurry, and he did not think that Liyue would be able to find an expert to take charge so quickly.
In his understanding, at this time, the Emperor might be in Liyue Harbor or Guili Plain, but it was absolutely impossible for him to appear in the Layered Abyss. So when Haidifu saw Tianhe, his first reaction was to suspect that he was hallucinating, but he could clearly feel that he was normal.
Until Tianhe walked towards him, waved to him, and came up with a set of words to explain his purpose, "Hello, Mr. Haidifu, I am Tianhe, a traveler participating in this exploration team. Of course, I am not here in the name of the Rock King, but in my own name. I believe you also know that I was a traveler before. It's a pleasure to meet you."
After Tianhe finished speaking, he extended his hand to Khediv to express his goodwill. Khediv then reacted and hurriedly shook Tianhe's hand so that he would not be rude, then let go and kept a certain distance before he replied awkwardly.
"I'm sorry, Lord Tianhe, I was just dazed for a while. I don't have any opinion about you, but I just didn't expect that the person coming would be you. Well, I very much welcome you to join our exploration team." Haidi naturally did not dare to neglect it. He hurriedly told Tianhe that he welcomed him.
Otherwise, what if the General Affairs Department makes things difficult for him because he is disrespectful to the Emperor? One day in the future, maybe the Seven Stars of Liyue will accuse him of a false crime and imprison him in the prison guarded by the Thousand Rocks Army just because he stepped into the General Affairs Department.
Tianhe looked at Jiuqi Shinobu beside him and briefly introduced him to Haidifu. "Well, let me introduce this person next to me, she is my assistant, Jiuqi Shinobu, meet me." Haidifu naturally remembered her. Tianhe looked at Zhiqiong, "Zhiqiong was someone we met by chance when we came to the Stratum Abyss. I'm sure you, Mr. Haidifu, also know her identity as a surveyor."
"I know, I know. You are welcome to join the exploration team. I also got the permission from the General Affairs Department some time ago. As for the Seven Stars." Haidi was a little worried at first, but then he thought that Tianhe was right next to him, so he had nothing to be afraid of.
"You don't have to worry about the Seven Stars. After all, reopening the Layered Abyss will also be beneficial to the Seven Stars. I will tell them in the future. After all, I am just a traveler now." Tianhe once again explained to Haidi that his current identity is just a traveler, and his future and present cannot be confused. However, only Haidi himself knows what he thinks.
Haidi handed Tianhe a map, which showed the distribution of the positions of the Pan Keys when the Seven Stars of Liyue were deployed in the ground mining area of the Layered Abyss. "Then, Sir Tianhe, I will leave these Pan Keys to you. As a scholar of the Order Academy, I am not good at fighting. I heard that many monsters have appeared in the Layered Abyss recently."
Tianhe looked at the map and found that there were quite a few Pan keys, but because of the time when Hedif returned and it was almost dusk, for safety reasons they could not set out at night. It would be better to set out during the day, so Tianhe and others decided to set out the next day.
