I'm in Teyvat, join the chat group.

Add to that Luminous, who is said to save the world in the future, wouldn't that make her the strongest force in all of Teyvat?

"But Hu Tao, you shouldn't be focusing on this right now, should you?"

"Eh? What do you mean?"

"Shouldn't our Rebirth Hall seize this opportunity to promote ourselves after the Emperor's passing?"

"That's right! Why didn't I think of that!"

The events of today were so shocking that Hu Tao was in a bit of a daze and hadn't even thought of this.

She quickly pulled Ningguang and Keqing to their side and told them that she wanted to take on the role of the Immortal Sending Ceremony.

"this....."

Ningguang hesitated a bit. After all, Zhongli was also a guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth. She didn't know whether it was good or bad to hand over the Sending Immortal Ceremony to the Hall of Rebirth at this time.

Although Ke Qing was also hesitant, she chose to ask Li Xiao directly.

"Li Xiao, do you think this is a good idea?"

“I think it’s a good idea. After all, they were father and son. In the end, Zhongli seemed to have come to his senses. Let him see the Rock King off on his final journey. I’m sure the Emperor will be very pleased to know this.”

With Li Xiao, the Wind God, speaking up, Ningguang and Keqing no longer hesitated.

"We will give you an answer after we discuss this matter with the other Seven Stars."

If Ningguang says that, it usually means there's no problem.

Hu Tao didn't ask any more questions. Seeing that Ke Qing and Ning Guang seemed to have something else to ask Li Xiao, she went straight to meet up with Ying and returned to the Hall of Rebirth.

Ke Qing bit her lip and asked, "Did you know all along what Zhong Li was going to do?"

"As soon as I arrived in Liyue, I went to see the Geo Archon and learned about Zhongli's plan from him."

"Then why didn't you tell us in advance?"

Ke Qing looked somewhat sad; the Emperor's passing had been a great blow to her.

"He is determined to die. Even if I tell you, how can you stop him?"

Ke Qing fell silent.

"Keqing is not questioning you. She is just too saddened by the Emperor's sudden passing. Please don't mind her."

Ningguang offered a timely explanation to Keqing.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stingy with my woman."

"Speaking of which, congratulations to you both."

Ningguang suddenly remembered what Li Xiao had said before, "My Keqing," and blinked, her tone slightly teasing.

"What's there to congratulate? That guy's a total womanizer. Ningguang, I advise you to stay away from him, or he won't let you off the hook!"

Keqing kindly reminded Ningguang of something.

"Oh? Keqing is telling the truth?"

Ningguang looked at Li Xiao to verify.

"That's right, I quite like Ningguang."

"Sure, I like you too. If you don't mind, I can be your girlfriend, just like Keqing."

Although Ningguang said this with a smile on her face, Li Xiao could clearly see that she did not have the slightest bit of affection for him.

Main text: Chapter 131 If you're so capable, then don't come back!

Li Xiao found herself somewhat unable to understand human emotions.

Walnut and Ningguang are the same. How come everyone says they like it, but they don't actually like it at all?

Ningguang naturally had her own calculations in mind when she did this.

With the recent passing of the Geo Archon, Liyue is in turmoil, and the new Geo Archon Zhongli's stance remains unclear. At this moment, Li Xiao's power becomes extremely important.

Therefore, she plans to use herself as a bargaining chip to tie Li Xiao to Liyue's chariot.

Although Li Xiao and Ke Qing have become lovers, Ningguang feels that this bond is far from enough.

Moreover, she knew Ke Qing's personality very well. Since Li Xiao had more than one lover, she would never be able to compete with the others.

Because being arrogant or tsundere is already the lowest level of a relationship.

But Shi Qing was unhappy about this. She had already "kindly" reminded Ning Guang, but Ning Guang still wanted to get involved.

"Ningguang, what do you mean by this?"

Ningguang simply raised an eyebrow in response to her question.

"Keqing, you seem to be in a hurry? Don't you already know about Lord Li Xiao's womanizing ways?"

"Who's in a hurry?!"

Upon hearing this, Ke Qing's face darkened instantly.

To be honest, I have no problem with what you're saying in private, but it's a bit much to say it to my face!

"Then what is Lord Li Xiao's opinion?"

Ningguang ignored her and just stared at Li Xiao, wanting an answer.

"Of course I have no problem. It is my blessing to be favored by Tianquan Star."

So what if she doesn't like him? Can't Li Xiao get Ningguang's body first and then slowly cultivate feelings for her?

He always agrees to anything someone he likes, as long as they dare to ask.

"Lord Li Xiao, you flatter me. I have always admired you, and now my wish has come true."

Ningguang covered her mouth and chuckled, her tone becoming more affectionate towards him.

This is a skill she has acquired through years of business experience. Since the identities of both parties have changed, the way they interact must also change.

She wasn't like Ke Qing, who could only glare at the two of them with bared teeth.

"Ningguang, you don't need to address me with respect anymore. I don't do that with my women."

"Okay, Li Xiao."

As Ningguang spoke, she naturally took his arm.

Veins bulged on Ke Qing's forehead; all she wanted to do now was to take her sword and kill the two despicable people.

Seeing her like this, Li Xiao spoke to Ningguang:

"Now that the Rock King Emperor has just passed away, you must still have things to attend to, right?"

Ningguang understood immediately and cooperated with Li Xiao.

"I do have some things to attend to, so I'll have to excuse myself for now. If you want to find me, you can come directly to Qunyu Pavilion."

After saying that, she gave Ke Qing a look, then turned and left.

But Keqing didn't understand Ningguang's meaning at all; she only felt that Ningguang was mocking her.

"are you angry?"

Li Xiao went over and put his arm around her.

"I'm not angry!"

This kind of sentence structure, which sounds like an angry girlfriend, definitely indicates that she's angry!

At times like this, the only thing that can be done is to distract Keqing with other things.

"Keqing, let me tell you a story about the Rock King."

"A story about the Emperor?"

Sure enough, Keqing's curiosity was piqued.

"This story is called 'The Three Battles with the Wind God,' and the specific events took place in..."

As the story unfolded, Ke Qing was also captivated by the exciting content and stopped being sullen with Li Xiao.

"This Wind God is really too much! How dare he deceive the Emperor like this? He deserves to be punished! Wait, Li Xiao, aren't you the Wind God?"

"I'm referring to the former wind god, Barbatos."

In response, Li Xiao could only silently apologize to his best friend Wendy.

After hearing the story, Ke Qing, whether distracted or given a way out, stopped making things difficult for Li Xiao and went back to work.

Li Xiao was now very curious about what kind of delightful expression Zhong Li would make.

So he returned to the Hall of Rebirth, because the wind told him that Zhongli was now in the Hall of Rebirth.

However, given Li Xiao's speed, he returned before Hu Tao and Ying, who had set off earlier.

At this moment, Zhongli was no longer drinking tea, nor did he have that leisurely expression; instead, he appeared somewhat melancholy.

"Hey! Zhongli, what are you thinking about!"

Li Xiao suddenly jumped out and patted him on the shoulder with a grin.

Zhong Li didn't want to talk to Li Xiao, she just glanced at him.

"Why are not you talking?"

Li Xiao continued to apply for and interact with Zhong Li.

"Now I finally understand why Barbatos always has that expression when he talks about you."

Zhongli now feels that Li Xiao is even more difficult to deal with than Hu Tao.

He had seen the stories Li Xiao had made up today, but because of the agreement he had made with Li Xiao before, he couldn't deny them.

Because Li Xiao really did not prevent 'Morax' from stepping down!

Moreover, although Zhongli eventually became the second Geo Archon, Liyue still managed to enter a state of human control.
