Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

He also possesses the power of the Thunder God and the powerful magical artifact, the Lock of the Mortal World.

So what if I'm a little stronger? That's perfectly normal!

Just as Su Hao was talking with Ye Lan, the door opened again, and Ning Guang pushed it open and entered, her hands empty.

However, three of her followers walked in carrying three different items.

As Ningguang returned to her seat, her three little followers placed the items on the table one by one.

The first item was an envelope still smelling of ink, while the other two were bone branches that shimmered with a pale golden light.

"Is this the Blood Jade Branch?" Su Hao temporarily ignored the envelope with the scent of ink and looked at the two bony branches that shimmered with pale golden light. A strange look flashed in his eyes.

Because this was slightly different from the Blood Jade Branch he had imagined; in the game, the Blood Jade Branch seemed to have a more vibrant color than these two.

Is this all the blood from the ancient rock dragon lizard can achieve?

"Hmm." Ningguang nodded slightly. She looked at Su Hao's expression, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, before explaining, "Because, according to legend, the Blood Jade Branch is made from the blood of the Dragon King."

"Although the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard is very close to the [Dragon King], it is still not quite qualified from any perspective."

"Therefore, although the Blood Jade Branches produced are indeed Blood Jade Branches, their quality is still somewhat low."

Ningguang's voice held a hint of disappointment, but there was nothing she could do, because the raw material for the Blood Jade Branch required dragon blood.

The blood of the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard is clearly not good enough, otherwise the Blood Jade Branch wouldn't be in this state.

"Although I don't know if the Blood Jade Branches will meet your expectations, these two Blood Jade Branches are the best quality I have."

Ningguang said this, and Su Hao couldn't say anything, because he was thinking about whether he should buy more materials for companion weapons from the shopkeeper's daughter.

Because this Blood Jade Branch is one of the main materials for companion weapons, just like the main material for concentrated resin.

The main materials are crucial in determining whether a secondary weapon will succeed or fail.

Unlike ordinary weapons, companion weapons, once successfully developed, improve along with their owner's strength.

After numerous battles, Su Hao's desire for companion weapons grew stronger and stronger.

He had suffered many setbacks due to his weaponry more than once, and after acquiring the Worldly Lock, he realized just how important it was to have a good weapon.

"It's alright." Su Hao shook his head indifferently. He said seriously, "I'm already very surprised that I was able to get the Blood Jade Branch. If it doesn't work, I'll go find another friend."

"He should still have a way to obtain the Blood Jade Branch."

Su Hao's words seemed somewhat mysterious, because the Blood Jade Branch had not appeared for hundreds of years.

It is said that the Blood Jade Branch still exists within the Layered Rock Abyss, but the Layered Rock Abyss is now sealed, and virtually no one can obtain it.

Ningguang and Yelan looked at Su Hao curiously, unsure of who this "friend" he was referring to was.

Su Hao naturally couldn't say this, because the reason was simple: that person was the [Ruo Tuo Dragon King].

If all else fails, have him pluck a branch of the Blood Jade for you.

The Dragon King Ruoduo was as large as a mountain, so the Blood Jade Branch was as small as a hair on him.

He could easily pluck the Blood Jade Branch with a simple gesture, and then he might not need the Blood Jade Branch that Ningguang had cultivated.

However, this does not mean that the Blood Jade Branch created by Ningguang is useless.

Su Hao felt that Ella and Kuki Shinobu's weapons could perhaps be enhanced with the Blood Jade Branch.

It's worth noting that Ella and Shinobu's weapons seem to be somewhat outdated. While their weapons are still functional, in a sense...

Both of these weapons were forged by Su Hao in the past. Although they are indeed of high quality, they are still not quite good enough.

Yes, it's not good enough.

For Shinobu Kujira, this weapon was sufficient, as most of the enemies she faced were monsters of the level of Hilichurl King or Rock Dragapult.

However, for Ella, this weapon was somewhat unable to keep up with her pace.

This katana is still too weak; it shows obvious shortcomings when fighting the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard.

They're not even good enough to fight the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard, let alone the powerful [Ayla Individual] and the Fatui Enforcers later on.

Su Hao had already clearly felt the disadvantage of not having a weapon; what if Ella's weapon suddenly cracked during the battle?

Even if we use elemental soldiers immediately, it will probably be too late.

After all, a flaw is fleeting, and any enemy capable of destroying a weapon will seize upon that momentary opening. Even with her Mirror of Still Water Domain, Ella couldn't avoid it.

"Well then, we should take our leave."

After delivering the intelligence and presenting the unripe jade, Su Hao put away the envelope and the Blood Jade Branch given to him by Ningguang, and then prepared to leave.

"So fast?"

Ningguang seemed a little disappointed, after all, she wanted to give them a proper welcome, but she didn't expect them to leave so quickly.

To be honest, she was still a little reluctant to part ways, because Ningguang felt that she could sit down with Su Hao calmly, have tea, and have a conversation about how to plan for Liyue's future.

Even if Su Hao denied it, Ningguang still felt that Su Hao was indeed the successor to the Emperor.

Since he is the successor to the Emperor, Su Hao is very likely to become the next Rock God in the future, so it is not a problem to communicate with him in advance.

Hmm... Even if mistakes are made, the Emperor will tell you in a dream.

"It's getting late, we need to get some rest tonight, we still have a long journey ahead tomorrow," Su Hao said.

Although he wanted to stay, it was getting late and he needed to go back and rest.

I have things to do tomorrow, so I need to get some rest early tonight.

Although Su Hao and the others are physically fit enough to go three days without sleep, they are about to embark on a long journey.

It's better to get some rest and recover your energy.

"Then let us give you a ride."

Ningguang stood up, preparing to see Su Hao and the others off.

Ye Lan did the same; she joined Ning Guang in seeing Su Hao and the others off.

And so, Ningguang and Yelan together escorted Su Hao, Ella, and Jiuqi Ren down from Qunyu Pavilion.

After Su Hao and the others left, Ningguang stood on the Jade Pavilion, gazing at Liyue Harbor below. She slowly said, "I think he is the right successor to the Emperor."

Previously, Ningguang simply admired Su Hao's strength and his background as the Thunder General.

Now, Ningguang could sense that Su Hao possessed a unique aura, different from the sense of security she felt with the Emperor. Instead, he exuded a vibrant and thriving energy.

It's as if being by his side makes everything go smoothly and everything will turn out for the better.

Furthermore, he is not stupid; he possesses great wisdom and can see through the current situation in Liyue at a glance.

Even though the Fools were his enemies, Su Hao still suggested that they could use the Fools as a weapon to attack the Abyss Cult.

Instead of viewing the Fools as enemies and being wary and resistant towards them, or even trying to take this opportunity to crush them without giving them a chance to breathe.

Furthermore, after learning about the awkward situation of the Seven Stars of Liyue, he also took the initiative to hand over the extremely precious Unripe Jade to me.

It would be a lie to say Ningguang wasn't moved, after all, to possess such a treasure, even if it was useless.

However, taking out such an exceptionally precious treasure so casually is tantamount to giving it away as a gift to one's own side.

Anyone with a conscience would think Su Hao is a very good person.

But Ningguang is no ordinary person. She observed Su Hao from various angles and found that he was indeed very good to Liyue, so good that it was a bit unfair to his identity as a [Thor's Familiar].

On the contrary, the identity of "the successor to the Emperor" suits him better.

Ningguang also hopes that the other party is the [Emperor's Successor], because if so, Liyue will gain thousands more years of peace in the future.

It is even highly likely that the Emperor and his successor will jointly govern Liyue.

Ye Lan crossed her arms and looked at Ning Guang with a smile, saying, "You are of the highest rank in Tianquan, so you can say that, but I dare not speak recklessly."

"However, Su Hao has not admitted that he is the [Emperor's Successor]."

"Inside Liyue Harbor, besides Su Hao, there is another person who is suspected to be the successor of the Emperor, namely Mr. Zhongli of the Hall of Rebirth."

"According to the investigation, he was the first person to receive the Emperor's inheritance, and he was also the one who passed the inheritance on to Su Hao."

"Mr. Zhongli's ancestors have been clean and honest for generations, and they have a good reputation in Liyue Harbor. He himself is very knowledgeable and knows a little about all kinds of things. He is really a remarkable person."

Yes, after the Emperor revealed that he had an heir, the Seven Stars of Liyue naturally began their investigation immediately.

They quickly found two individuals who appeared to be successors of the Emperor.

One is Su Hao, who is in the public eye, and the other is Zhong Li. As for the others, they were all eliminated immediately.

Of course, Ye Lan was in charge of this task.

The other party had just finished dealing with the Demon God Ruins in the afternoon, and had just returned to Liyue Harbor to report the information there. Before she could even catch her breath, she was pulled to the Jade Pavilion to be with Ningguang and her three personal secretaries.

They began organizing the documents and information about the suspected [Emperor's Successor]. It took the five of them an hour or two to finish. Before they could even catch their breath, Su Hao and the others came to visit.

To be honest, Ye Lan still harbored deep resentment at this moment, but she didn't say much, because Ke Qing and Gan Yu, who were even busier than her, hadn't said anything, so what right did she have to say anything?

"Then who do you hope it is?" Ningguang looked at Yelan with a smile; the other party was her most capable partner.

Even she couldn't ignore Ye Lan's opinion.

"Me?" Yelan looked down at Liyue Harbor and said calmly, "Compared to Mr. Zhongli, who knows a little about everything, I prefer Su Hao, who fights alongside me."

Ningguang smiled without saying a word. She turned around and returned to Qunyu Pavilion. She had a lot of things to do next.

Although it was Keqing who proposed the era of humans and immortals, this exam was taken by all seven members of the Liyue Squad.

Nothing happened that night. After Su Hao and the others returned to the mansion, they immediately washed up and went to bed.

Ella took care of Su Hao for another night. She knew she would be leaving the young master for another ten days or so, and she was extremely reluctant to part with him.

But this is an inevitable sacrifice. If she doesn't undergo a brief separation, she won't be able to defeat the [Ella Individual]. In that case, simply enjoying temporary pleasure will be replaced by [her] consciousness.

Seemingly aware that Ella was going to be away from him for a while, Su Hao silently enjoyed Ella's services, thinking that his little maid was a real useless person-making machine.

I'm afraid I won't be able to experience their care for a long time. Although it's a bit of a regret, there's a saying that goes something like this.

That's what they mean by "absence makes the heart grow fonder."

This brief separation might just bring even more surprises in the future.

After spending the night, in the early morning, after a simple breakfast, Su Hao, Ella, Shen He, Jiu Qiren and others arrived outside Liyue Harbor.

Cleo was still asleep, and Abedo couldn't bear to wake her, so he let her rest first and stayed behind to watch the door.
