Chapter 354: Ye Lan is in the Hall of Rebirth, Zhong Li is still awake, Ye Lan's doubts, Zhong
Although everyone in the Fire Chaser team from the Fire Chaser Moth expressed doubts about Zhongli's true identity, no one dared to take the initiative to reveal the other's identity.
After all, what if they guessed wrong, or knew the other party's true identity, and then Tianhe disappeared from them? What should they do then? Perhaps it was because they didn't have that much time to wait.
Because the threat of collapse to the current civilization has not yet been resolved, and the battle of [End] is still fresh in their minds. Perhaps one day, they will face Tianhe again. Although, it is still early for that day to come, but...
A month later, with the help of Zhongli, Hu Tao and Keqing gradually mastered Honkai Energy and used it skillfully. At the same time, they were curious about Zhongli's true strength.
During this time, Zhongli also activated Honkai energy for Ye Lan. However, Ye Lan still did not find direct evidence that Zhongli was the Emperor.
Of course, Ye Lan had been asking Keqing for information about Zhongli during this period, but Keqing did reveal some information about Zhongli to her colleague. However, this information was not very useful to Ye Lan.
After that, Ye Lan discovered the changes in herself, and she suspected that it was Zhongli who did it. So, Ye Lan specifically asked Zhongli about it, and Zhongli directly admitted that it was him who did it, and he had no intention of hiding it from Ye Lan.
Although Ye Lan has been doing nothing for a while and has been thinking about finding out her true identity, Zhongli can still see Ye Lan's loyalty to the organization. However, Ye Lan's strength is not strong, so Zhongli wants to strengthen her strength by activating her Honkai energy.
As for what happened between her and Zhongli, let's go back to that night.
We saw Ye Lan. She came to the door of Zhongli's room. Ye Lan knocked on the door first and then walked in. Zhongli had been waiting inside for a long time. "I didn't expect you to come at this time."
"Well... I'm here. Doesn't guest Zhongli welcome me?" Ye Lan looked a little puzzled. Zhongli stood up and came to Ye Lan.
"You shouldn't come here at this time, Miss Ye Lan. Aren't you afraid that the hall master will come here?" Zhongli looked at Ye Lan indifferently and said meaningfully.
"But I still came." Ye Lan was not afraid of the threats from the guest, just the Master Hu. However, she always felt that she had just exchanged some secret signals with the guest from the Wangsheng Hall.
"Okay, then, Miss Ye Lan, please take a seat. What do you want to ask me at this time? I see you have been in the Hall of Rebirth for some time." Zhongli made a gesture for someone to sit down, and two chairs appeared beside him.
Ye Lan looked very unceremonious. She came to a chair next to Zhong Li and sat down.
Although Ye Lan did not find any direct information about Zhongli being the Emperor, it did not mean that she did not gain anything. After all, the Fire Chaser team did collect a lot of useful information.
Ye Lan was the first to attack. She said, "Some unfamiliar abilities and strange energies have appeared in my body. I suspect that it must be you, the guest official Zhongli, who did this."
Zhongli nodded slightly and admitted openly, "Indeed, I did it, because I think it will be helpful to Miss Ye Lan."
"But if you do something secretly, I might die without knowing why." Ye Lan expressed her concerns, and Zhongli sat on another chair. But he did not think too much, but answered.
"I have no grudges against Miss Ye Lan, so it is impossible for me to harm her. However, I admit that this action was indeed ill-considered, and I am very sorry for this. So, does Miss Ye Lan need some small compensation?"
Hearing about the compensation, Ye Lan narrowed her eyes slightly, and she said lazily, "Oh? Tell me about it, and see if your compensation can satisfy me."
"I can tell you that this energy is called Honkai energy. It has no harm to you. On the contrary, it has many benefits. You can rest assured. For example, it can extend your life and improve your physical fitness. If you don't believe it, you can ask that [Yuhengxing] Keqing. I think she will not deceive you in this regard.
In addition, I can personally teach you how to use Honkai energy, which will greatly enhance your combat capabilities. At the same time, Honkai energy will help you in some unexpected places. I wonder if Miss Ye Lan will accept this compensation, or if she needs anything else. "
A mysterious smile appeared on Ye Lan's face, and she replied, "Hmm... Honkai energy... sounds very interesting. Since Guest Zhongli is so sincere, I won't pursue it. But, I still have a question... I want to ask Guest Zhongli."
"Oh? Miss Ye Lan, do you have any questions to ask me? Aren't you afraid that I don't know the answer to the question?" Zhongli looked a little surprised, but he knew very well what question Ye Lan wanted to ask.
"Don't worry, Guest Zhongli, the question I want to ask is not difficult. Moreover, as a guest, you definitely know the answer. I have been in the Hall of Rebirth for some time, looking for the answer to that question, but I haven't found it. So, I wanted to ask the owner of the question." At this point, Ye Lan looked very confident.
Zhongli was silent for a while. He seemed to be trying to struggle. "Well... tell me, I also want to know what question Miss Ye Lan will ask."
"Zhongli Keqing, oh no, I should call you [Emperor of Rock]. My guess is right, you are the Emperor of Rock from our [International Brigade]. Although, I don't have any evidence to prove it. But the answer is obvious."
At this point, Ye Lan had a playful expression on her face. She wanted to see how Zhongli Keqing would respond to the question she had raised.
However, what Ye Lan didn't expect was that Zhongli didn't show any panic, as if he wasn't the Rock King. But if he was the Rock King, he would be calm no matter what the situation.
Zhongli looked at Ye Lan with his amber eyes, and said, "Well... I am very surprised. When did Miss Ye Lan find out my identity?"
Ye Lan shook her head. She was very surprised. She was just trying to trick the other party, but she didn't expect it to be so easy to trick him. Little did she know that no matter who asked Zhongli about his true identity, he would answer.
Ye Lan shook her head and said with a wry smile, "Emperor, I actually haven't found any evidence that can directly point out that you are the Emperor. I originally wanted to see if I could get any information from you, but... I didn't expect that I could trick you into revealing your identity."
Zhongli shook his head and replied, "Haha, Miss Ye Lan, have you ever thought that it's not just you? No matter who asks me, I will answer their questions. This is the contract I made with myself.
However, the reason I was surprised was that I simply didn't expect you to ask so early. Anyway, then, [Tianshuxing], is there anything else you want to know?"
Ye Lan nodded. She guessed, "I think the name Zhongli is probably not your real name, Emperor. It's just a disguise of your real name, if I guess correctly."
Zhongli smiled, and then he stood up. His figure changed, and he was replaced by a man wearing a fool's mask. To be continued...
