Ye Lan has already reported to Ning Guang about what happened last night, and also explained that the Emperor appeared last night to deal with the Doctor.
Ningguang was also aware that Su Hao had fought the Doctor to the point of exhaustion and was unable to move, so her attitude towards Su Hao became increasingly positive.
She also felt a little regretful; if Su Hao hadn't been a member of Thor's familiar, Ningguang would have wanted to recruit him as a trusted confidant.
Unfortunately, the opponent was a member of Thor's familiar, so Ningguang had to suppress this audacious idea.
Furthermore, Ningguang felt somewhat ashamed that the Emperor had intervened. If she had known earlier that the Emperor would take action to deal with the Doctor, she should have gone directly there.
In a country with gods, having the gods resolve matters is seen as a sign of the incompetence of the people below.
In the Kingdom of Winter, everything is handled by the Executors of the Fools. The existence of the Executors is the capital that allows Winter to dominate other countries.
On Liyue's side, her subordinates were no match for the Doctor, and seeing that he was about to escape, the Emperor himself stepped in to stop him.
Although she knew that the Doctor seemed to have done something to offend the Emperor, Ningguang still felt that she had really failed in her duty.
They actually had to get the Emperor to step in and resolve this matter.
"You didn't expect this either, did you?" Su Hao comforted Ning Guang. In fact, no one could have imagined such a thing.
At least before seeing the remnant soul of the final resting place, Su Hao felt that although the doctor's actions were suicidal, they were not completely suicidal. At least if he hadn't tried to seize the Lock of the Mortal World and had simply run away instead.
Perhaps Morax wouldn't even show up to stop the other side from escaping.
But after seeing the remnant soul of Gui Zhong, Su Hao felt that the doctor was courting death, because although he was speaking, he was already a dead man.
Judging from the importance Zhongli placed on Ruo Tuo Dragon King, and the fact that he specially built a ruin in Guili Plain for the mortal lock to be buried in peace.
The Doctor will definitely be blacklisted by Morax next.
I believe the other PhDs also didn't expect that creating a World Lock would have such serious consequences; they probably couldn't have come up with it even if they racked their brains.
Morax's willingness to go to such lengths for a relic of a deceased demon god is truly beyond anyone's expectations.
Su Hao and Ning Guang chatted casually about the Second Doctor of the Fools' Order and the Rock King Emperor.
"Wait a minute... what are you guys talking about..."
The store manager's daughter, who was initially all smiles, suddenly became a little stiff when she heard this topic.
This is a topic that not just anyone can get involved in. She's just a merchant from Guiyan Pavilion who sells minerals. Is it really okay for her to hear such explosive news?
"It's nothing, it's just that something happened last night." Ningguang casually ended the conversation, clearly feeling that it wasn't appropriate to talk about these things in front of the store manager's daughter.
After all, this information is classified, and revealing it casually could cause trouble.
Yes, it means there's some trouble with the Fatui, and Ningguang isn't planning to deal with them yet.
Because the Fatui, led by Prince Naruto, have been behaving very well in Liyue Harbor, and since last night they have voluntarily begun to assist the Thousand Rock Army in dealing with the remnants of the demon gods flowing out of the ruins.
This alone is enough for the Liyue Septim to temporarily decide to deal with the Fatui. They can't just condemn the entire Fatui organization because of one Doctor, can they?
Ningguang looked at Su Hao and said slowly, "After the Immortal Invocation Ceremony, I wonder if you have time? As for [that item], it has been completed."
Hearing Ningguang's words, a hint of surprise flashed in Su Hao's eyes. He asked, "Hmm? Finished? So fast?"
The "thing" Ningguang mentioned is undoubtedly the Blood Jade Branch. Can this thing be created using the blood of the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard?
Su Hao had originally planned to have the sealed Ruo Tuo Dragon King break off a branch of blood jade from his body to forge a companion weapon for him.
Unexpectedly, Ningguang actually succeeded. This is truly surprising. Something that was mentioned casually actually came about.
In that sense, the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard and the Rota Dragon King are indeed closely related.
“Yes.” Ningguang nodded with a smile, and she said with some emotion, “I never thought that the material I was looking for back then would be created in my hands now. Even I am quite surprised.”
Su Hao congratulated her, while the store manager's daughter was completely bewildered and didn't quite understand what had happened.
Ella and Kuki Shinobu knew that the Blood Jade Branch had been completed, although they didn't know how Ningguang had done it.
But since the other party said that, it means that she has successfully created this material.
Just as Ningguang was about to say something to Su Hao, three women walked over. They watched Ningguang and Su Hao talking and stood aside, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
These are Ningguang's three secretaries. They came together, clearly indicating that they had something to tell Ningguang.
"Hmm?" Upon seeing the three women arrive, Ningguang apologized and then walked over to them to ask what was wrong.
After a brief exchange, Ningguang returned with a hint of apology on her face and looked at Su Hao, saying, "I'm sorry, something happened at the Chamber of Commerce, I'm afraid I have to go there."
"After the [Summoning the Immortals] ceremony is over, if you would like to have a cup of tea, you can come to my guild to rest for a while."
"Don't worry, there will definitely be plenty of tea and pastries."
Su Hao smiled and nodded, indicating that if he was tired, he would definitely go and sit down for a while.
And so, Ningguang and her three followers left. Clearly, everyone was very busy during the ritual of inviting immortals.
Su Hao also had a brief chat with the store manager's daughter, asking about the sales of his batch of forging materials and the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard Scale Armor.
In response, the shop manager's daughter held up two fingers and looked at Su Hao with a smile, saying, "Not counting Ningguang's 100 million Mora, the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard Scale Armor has already reached 200 million Mora in sales."
"To be honest, the celebrity effect brought by Miss Ningguang is really strong, especially after she released the news that she bought the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard Scale Armor for 100 million Mora."
"Other merchants in Liyue Harbor also came to buy the Ancient Rock Lizard Scale Armor, and the price was inflated by one or two times. However, after buying the Ancient Rock Lizard Scale Armor, they acted as if they had made a profit."
Upon hearing the store manager's daughter's words, Su Hao's mind was immediately filled with thoughts of two hundred million Mora.
My God, what an astronomical figure that is!
Although Su Hao knew that in the Genshin Impact storyline, someone had treated Ningguang to dinner, spending 40 million Mora.
This was just the cost of a meal. But now, thanks to Ningguang's effect, the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard Scales sold by the shopkeeper's daughter have sold for 200 million Mora. Including Ningguang's purchase, the total is 100 million Mora.
Originally, the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard Scale Armor would have only sold for around 100 million Mora, but now it's actually worth 300 million Mora instead of the expected 100 million.
Su Hao's heart was filled with happiness. Ningguang really was a rich woman! Just as it was said in Genshin Impact, she could give a little benefit and that would be enough for someone to live a life of comfort.
With 300 million Mora, Su Hao made a decision: when he goes to Mondstadt in a while, he'll buy a huge villa to live in!
After Su Hao finished talking with the store manager's daughter, he also chose to leave temporarily because she was getting busy.
A large group of merchants started bidding on the last remaining Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard scales.
This is the last of the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard's scales. Once it's gone, it's truly gone, unless another Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard appears.
Or they might try to snatch those complete pieces of ancient rock dragon lizard scales from Su Hao, but that would be quite difficult because Su Hao himself is quite strong.
With Shinobu Hisaki, Ella, Shinzuru, Abedo, Klee, and others by his side, even Dr. Slice from last night would likely die with resentment if they were all tied together.
After a brief stroll, it quickly became noon, and most people headed towards the site of the "Invitation of the Immortals" ceremony.
Su Hao knew it was almost time, so he immediately found Qianyan Army and took out the token that Gan Yu had given him.
Upon seeing the Gan Yu token, Qian Yanjun immediately led his men to clear a path for Su Hao and his group, taking them to the area closest to Yujingtai and with the best views.
The weather is nice today; the sun is shining brightly, and the earth is bathed in its warmth.
Keqing, the protagonist of today's story, is currently resting with her eyes closed. She has no time to pay attention to anyone right now, because what is about to happen is of great importance to her and to Liyue.
She needed to ensure she was in top condition to prepare for the upcoming ritual of summoning the immortals.
Here, Su Hao saw Gan Yu sitting quietly in a chair. There were several empty seats at the front, and an elderly man was sitting in one of them.
He noticed Su Hao's gaze, gave him a friendly smile, nodded slightly, and then continued to focus his attention on the center of the [Invitation to Immortality] scroll.
This is Tian Shu, also known as Uncle Tian. Since he is here, it means that these positions are where the seven stars of Liyue sit.
However, apart from Keqing and Uncle Tian, the other seven stars are not here. At least Ningguang is busy with her own business and cannot come here.
"You are finally here."
Upon seeing Su Hao and the others arrive, Gan Yu whispered, "If you hadn't come soon, you would have missed the appointed time, and I would have had to send someone to look for you."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for making you worry. The Immortal Invitation Ceremony was very lively, and there were many things we had never seen before."
Su Hao apologized to Gan Yu for her concern, saying he didn't want to, but the Immortal Invitation Ceremony was indeed fun, with a dazzling array of goods that were too much to look at.
Gan Yu smiled and shook her head, saying, "It's alright. The time is almost here. We just need to wait quietly for the Emperor and the immortals to arrive."
After Gan Yu spoke, she didn't say anything more, and Su Hao and the others looked ahead with curiosity.
Klee blinked her eyes and sat obediently in the chair, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Rock King.
Soon, Keqing slowly opened her eyes. She turned around and looked at the crowd of people around her. Her tone was quite serious: "The auspicious time has arrived. Please invite the Emperor and all the immortals to descend."
As soon as she finished speaking, Keqing stretched out her hand, and the Eye of the Lightning Element emanating from her body emitted a dazzling light.
Pure lightning elemental energy surged into the incense burner in the center. This was also a magical artifact, specifically used to summon the Emperor.
"Shua——!!!"
A purple light shot straight into the sky, and the ritual to invite the immortals officially began.
The sky above Liyue Harbor suddenly became turbulent with wind and clouds.
Then, a huge vortex slowly appeared in the sky.
People looked up at the sky, and from the clouds, a golden dragon slowly emerged, looking down at the people of Liyue Harbor.
The three immortals, namely, Liuyun Borrowing Wind True Lord, Xiaoyue Building Yang True Lord, and Zhishui Stacking Mountains True Lord, appeared together from the dark clouds and followed behind the golden dragon.
"True Lord Liuyun..."
When Gan Yu saw Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun appear and spoke her name, she looked extremely complicated and gritted her teeth.
PS: "I'm so tired. Around 7 or 8 o'clock today, I was writing and wanted to take a nap, so I fell asleep. I got up at 11 o'clock to cook for my brother who is away on a business trip."
"I wrote five thousand words after that, and then I woke up around eight or nine o'clock in the evening. I hurriedly finished this one."
"I don't know if I'll have any tonight. I'm in a really bad state right now, but I'll still try to finish it if I can."
Chapter 148 The Successor to the Rock King Emperor?
The ceremony to invite the immortals began, and the Rock King Emperor appeared, along with the three immortals.
Gan Yu looked at Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun with a very complicated expression. She had been looking for him from yesterday afternoon until this morning.
They couldn't find her, but now that the ritual to summon immortals has begun and the other party has appeared, Gan Yu feels somewhat frightened.
Now that things have come to this, she could only silently pray to the Cloud-Borrowing Wind True Lord not to reveal her childhood "funny stories," and that would be her greatest blessing.
