"You're in luck with love~" Hu Tao, now refreshed, teased Su Hao. She said with a grin, "Although I don't know what happened, you can't delay too long since you've arranged to meet a beauty."

"Oh dear~ After all, Keqing from Yuheng Star is from our Liyue Harbor..."

Before Hu Tao could spout any more nonsense, Su Hao quickly went outside. That was the only downside to her; once she regained her senses, she would become lively again.

Fortunately, Ke Li didn't join in the commotion, otherwise Su Hao really wouldn't know what to say.

When Su Hao arrived at the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth again, he saw Ke Qing and Gan Yu looking at him.

For a moment, Su Hao was also somewhat helpless. How come the Gan and Ke duo arrived right after he had just sent away one Tadalia?

"Actually, this is what happened."

Ke Qing seemed to be very busy as well. She went straight to the point: "Last night, several more ruins were opened. The Thousand Rock Army sealed off the site immediately. Fortunately, there were no remnants of demon gods inside."

"But all the valuable items inside, such as antiques and magical artifacts, have been swept away. Based on the information you provided last night, we have already identified the Fools."

"However, after a morning of investigation, it was found that the Fatui had not taken any action at all. Even the Fatui outside Liyue Harbor were only helping the Northern Bank collect debts."

"So, I'd like to get more information from you about my conversation with that prince last night."

At this point, Keqing's expression became somewhat solemn, because the theft of antiques and magical artifacts from the ruins was a minor matter.

The problem is that the sealed remnants of the demon god are the main issue.

According to Ganyu, a half-divine beast, the peace and tranquility of Liyue today is entirely due to the efforts of the Hearth God and the Yaksha.

Even so, the remnants of the demon god are still quite terrifying, and some of the demon god remnants in the ruins were briefly leaked out.

Before the Great Sage Who Subdued Demons arrived, some soldiers of the Thousand Rocks Army were also tainted with the remnants of the demon god.

Those with mild symptoms may survive with timely treatment, but their physical condition will be greatly reduced; those with severe symptoms may die on the spot.

It was terrifying, far beyond ordinary terror. You must understand that the Thousand Rock Army, responsible for night patrols and exploring the ruins, was considered an elite force.

Some of them even possessed the Eye of God, but even so, after being tainted by the remnants of the demon god, they still met such an end.

The power of the demon god was truly terrifying, and it was because of this event that Keqing gained some insights.

Regardless, humans have their limits, and these things could only be resolved if the immortals risked their lives to help suppress them.

The people of Liyue will probably never see such a peaceful scene again.

But putting these insights aside, Keqing hoped to get more information from Su Hao to determine whether it was the Abyss Order or the Fatui that were behind it.

Su Hao naturally didn't hide anything and told Ke Qing about his conversation with Kong, including the appearance of the [Emperor].

In a place unseen by all, the Rock King Emperor will protect this land.

"Your Majesty..." Gan Yu felt a surge of pride when she heard that Kong had stopped attacking because of the Emperor.

If it weren't for the Emperor, Su Hao and Jiu Qiren would probably be in danger.

"It's the same as what was reported last night." Ke Qing frowned as she listened to what Su Hao said, because of the details of what happened.

At last night's meeting of the Liyue Seven Stars, they all learned that the Abyss Order was beyond their ability to punish, so the Seven Stars could only punish the Fatui.

Now, even after Su Hao recounted the events, Ke Qing still couldn't find any breakthrough, which gave her a headache, and she didn't know what to do.

Not only is the Summoning Ceremony imminent, but outside Liyue Harbor, various sealed ruins are being opened, the Abyss Order is taking action, and there are also troublesome things like the remnants of the Demon God.

"correct."

Seeing Ke Qing frown, Su Hao reminded her, "You don't need to worry about this matter. The immortals will take action after the invocation ceremony tomorrow."

"After all, they already know about the Abyss Cult, and they are also very angry about the Doctor's actions."

"Therefore, after the ritual to invite the immortals was completed and Ella was placed on Mount Ozang, they began their operation."

Upon hearing Su Hao's words, Keqing frowned again, because she now wanted to rely on the power of [humans] to resolve the crisis threatening Liyue Harbor.

Although at last night's Seven Stars meeting, everyone else intended to leave this matter to the immortals, namely the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, to resolve.

Regarding how to deal with the remnants of the demon god, neither the Taoist school nor the exorcism school had any solutions and could only express their helplessness.

It's a harsh reality; this is something that humans can't solve. Even someone with the eyes of God wouldn't be able to resolve it.

At least Keqing tried it herself, and apart from almost injuring herself, there was nothing else she could do.

Looking at Ke Qing's furrowed brows, Gan Yu could tell that this strong-willed Yu Hengxing was getting stuck on a rut again, always thinking about how to use human power to solve the incident.

However, this matter is not something that humans can simply solve. Even the immortals treat the remnants of demons with utmost caution and would never act as recklessly as Yuheng Star.

"This..." Keqing was about to say that she was going to talk about the Liyue people's governance at the Celestial Ceremony this year, so asking the Celestials for help at this time seemed a bit shameless.

They can't even handle this simple matter, and they expect Liyue people to take charge? It's laughable.

"correct."

At this moment, Su Hao seemed to suddenly remember something, and looked at Ke Qing and Gan Yu, saying, "There's a surprise in this year's Immortal Invitation Ceremony. I wonder if you know about it."

"?"X2

Ke Qing and Gan Yu were somewhat confused. One was the Seven Stars in charge of the ritual to invite the immortals, and the other was the secretary who managed the Seven Stars.

They were familiar with all the big and small things happening in Liyue Harbor, let alone such an important ritual as the Summoning of the Immortals.

There were no surprises at the Immortal Invitation Ceremony? What surprises could there be? Wasn't it just the same as always?

Puzzled, very puzzled, Ke Qing and Gan Yu looked at Su Hao as if to say, what surprises could there be in the Summoning Immortal Ceremony?

"It seems you two don't know yet." Su Hao chuckled as he saw their bewildered expressions. "To be honest, we came here today to avoid an attack by the Doctor and the Abyss Cult."

"Lord Liuyun Jiefeng specially summoned three other immortals to escort us. We arrived at Liyue Harbor without incident."

"True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng said that they will also participate in this Immortal Invitation Ceremony, not only to see the Emperor, but also because the Abyss Cult has been causing trouble recently."

"As immortals, they always have to come and appease the people, just like in the war between demons and gods back then."

After Su Hao finished speaking, Keqing clearly showed a rather complicated expression. She was thinking about the governance of Liyue.

Because Liyue Harbor was created little by little by the people of Liyue themselves, wasn't it?

However, after the disaster, the immortals who had always lived in seclusion took the initiative to solve the problems that mortals could not solve.

To be honest, for a moment, Keqing began to wonder if true human-centered governance in Liyue really existed.

Is it possible to create everything entirely with human hands, without relying on immortals?

No, it's obviously not going to work, just like what happened to Su Hao last night.

That prince of the Abyss Order is extremely powerful; he's estimated to be able to fight the Emperor.

If the Emperor hadn't appeared at that time, Su Hao would probably be in grave danger, along with the remnants of the demon god that appeared within the ruins.

This is not something that mortals can handle. Even if a celestial being or a yaksha wanted to deal with it, they would have to pay the price with their life.

perhaps……

At this moment, Ke Qing had an epiphany. She wasn't one to get stuck on trivial details, even though she firmly believed that her beliefs were sound.

But now, faced with various difficulties, Keqing begins to think about the relationship between humans and immortals.

While Ke Qing was contemplating the relationship between humans and immortals, Gan Yu's temper flared. She stared wide-eyed at Su Hao and exclaimed, "Wh! What?!?!"

"You...you...you mean Lord Liuyun has come to Liyue Harbor?! And she's even planning to participate in the Summoning Ceremony?!"

Gan Yu was clearly panicked; she was extremely flustered.

"what happened?"

Seeing Gan Yu so flustered, Ke Qing was a little puzzled and didn't understand why the other party was so flustered.

This is unlike Gan Yu, who is usually calm and collected.

Could it be that the arrival of Master Liuyun to Liyue Harbor to participate in the Summoning Ceremony will have a special impact on her?

Ke Qing was somewhat puzzled, not quite understanding why Gan Yu was so flustered.

Su Hao was very clear about this, after all, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng was an incredibly big mouth. If he were to bring up Gan Yu's childhood during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony...

Wow! Just thinking about that scene is exciting.

Chapter 136 The Surprise of Ke Qing

Surprised? Isn't this a surprise? Su Hao asked Ke Qing and Gan Yu with a smile.

Next, all the immortals will participate in the invocation ceremony. Is this a good thing?

Then... looking at Ke Qing and Gan Yu's expressions, Su Hao realized that this was not a surprise, but a shock.

"Is this...is this real?" Gan Yu was extremely nervous. She knew Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun's personality very well.

Once the other person starts bringing up the past and sees her, or even if someone asks her about funny things from her childhood...

Thinking of that scene, Gan Yu felt a surge of panic. She instinctively turned around, not wanting to manage her work for the day, and wanted to go find True Lord Liu Yun to borrow the wind.

No, we can't go to True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng. We have to go to True Lord Gechenlangshi. She definitely knows where the Emperor and other immortals like True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng are.

Yes, it's true.

Looking at Gan Yu's expression, Su Hao knew that she was afraid others would find out about her childhood. He asked with a hint of doubt, "What's wrong? Isn't it a good thing that True Monarch Liuyun Jiefeng is coming?"

Ke Qing was also puzzled. Although she was somewhat apprehensive about the arrival of the immortals, she remained relatively calm.

The only concern is that this ceremony to invite the immortals is probably the most magnificent in a thousand years.

With the arrival of the four immortals, plus the Emperor, Ke Qing couldn't help but ask herself if she was truly ready.

While she was still worried about whether she could hold a good ceremony to invite the immortals, Gan Yu was extremely nervous.

This puzzled Ke Qing greatly. Although Gan Yu was indeed the Seven Star Secretary and she had asked Gan Yu for help with various matters related to the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, she was not the person in charge of the Immortal Invitation Ceremony.

Why does it feel like... Gan Yu is even more nervous than I am?

"This...this..."

Gan Yu was at a loss for words. Should she tell her that Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun was a big mouth?

She had all sorts of embarrassing things about him from his childhood, and Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun didn't take it seriously at all.

Perhaps because he had lived for so long, the True Lord of Clouds and Wind always liked to talk about this with others.

Last time, when her junior sister, Shen He, saw her strange gaze, Gan Yu was quite startled.

Because of that gaze, Gan Yu understood. As the secretary of the Seven Stars, her intuition was always very accurate; that gaze was clearly...
