It seems that girl is truly extraordinary...
To make Rex Lapis act like this...
Cloud Retainer couldn't help but think, exchanging a glance with Shenhe.
To be honest, she had rarely seen Rex Lapis like this.
And anyone who could make a being like Rex Lapis act this way was certainly no ordinary person.
But who in the world today could affect Rex Lapis so?
Pondering this question, Cloud Retainer fell deep into thought.
Could it be...
a god from another nation?
After some contemplation, Cloud Retainer, her mind replaying the girl's appearance, arrived at this guess.
In any case, the girl's identity was definitely not simple, so the possibility of her being a god, just like Rex Lapis, was very high.
Otherwise, she truly couldn't imagine what the girl's identity could be.
It couldn't be that the girl was actually a human, could it?
"Rex Lapis, that girl…"
Seeing that Rex Lapis remained silent for so long, Cloud Retainer, burning with curiosity about the girl's identity, decided to ask.
However, she also knew that Rex Lapis might not necessarily tell her.
But no matter what, she had to try asking.
"That girl is no mortal, but she is no god either."
Hearing Cloud Retainer's question, Zhongli finished his thoughts, looked up at her, and spoke slowly.
After his recent contemplation, he had vaguely guessed Miss Kiana's objective.
If he wasn't mistaken, Miss Kiana definitely wanted Cloud Retainer to come find him and ask about her identity.
After all, inside Cloud Retainer's abode, she had mentioned her name but not revealed her identity, and then suddenly left after leaving that message. It was already very obvious.
But if this was part of the plan, why hadn't Miss Kiana come to discuss it with him again?
Could it be...
she didn't have time?
Cloud Retainer must have come looking for me immediately after Miss Kiana left.
…
In that case...
she indeed wouldn't have had enough time...
"Not a mortal?
And not a god either?"
After hearing Rex Lapis's answer, Cloud Retainer was stunned. She hadn't expected such a reply.
But if not a mortal and not a god, what on earth was that girl?
"Is that girl... a Demon God?"
Just as Cloud Retainer was about to ask, Shenhe, who was beside her, spoke up.
She was equally curious about this question.
Since Rex Lapis said the girl was neither a god nor a mortal, the only thing she could think of was a Demon God.
But now...
could there really still be a Demon God capable of affecting Rex Lapis this way?
Shenhe couldn't figure this out, so she could only ask Rex Lapis.
A Demon God?
Impossible!
How could there still be a Demon God in this world who wasn't one of the gods...
As soon as Shenhe finished speaking, Cloud Retainer immediately thought this.
She knew it was impossible for an unsealed Demon God, outside of the current gods, to still exist in this world.
However, Rex Lapis had just said the girl was neither a god nor a mortal, but he hadn't said whether she was a Demon God or not. So, she didn't immediately refute her disciple's suggestion, instead waiting quietly for Rex Lapis's next response.
"Well..."
At that moment, Zhongli stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Liyue as if seriously pondering some issue.
Then, he turned to the master and disciple duo and said, "Knowing her identity might not be a good thing for you."
Because he was going to put on a play with Miss Kiana tomorrow, Zhongli was getting into character.
All of his current actions were based on the premise that Kiana was the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles.
In other words, in his eyes right now, Miss Kiana was the real Sustainer of Heavenly Principles.
Although, to be honest, he really did suspect that Kiana might actually be the real Sustainer of Heavenly Principles.
It couldn't be helped; she was simply too special.
Cloud Retainer: "!"
Shenhe: "!"
It had to be said, Rex Lapis's words once again sent a deep shock through the master and disciple pair of Cloud Retainer and Shenhe.
That girl...
What was her identity?
How could merely knowing her identity be a bad thing?
And to hear it from Rex Lapis himself...
With nearly identical thoughts, Cloud Retainer and Shenhe looked at each other again, both seeing the profound shock in the other's eyes.
Honestly, Cloud Retainer was now unsure if she should continue asking.
If she didn't ask, she was truly curious.
If she did ask, Rex Lapis had just said what he said.
But just then, Cloud Retainer seemed to have thought of something.
Neither a god...
nor a Demon God...
and knowing her identity wasn't a good thing...
Could it be...
As she thought, Cloud Retainer couldn't help but look up towards a certain direction in the sky.
If that girl was a being from there, then everything would make sense.
