Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

The workload will only increase, not decrease; the number of things that need to be dealt with in Liyue every day is simply not small.

It was with these considerations in mind that Ningguang told Su Hao that she needed to finish dealing with the things left behind by the Emperor.

"Good luck." Su Hao could only say "good luck" to this. He didn't want to interfere in the affairs of Liyue, because Zhongli had already told him.

The events before can be ignored; once Oser and the Eight Dragons break free from their seal, it will be time for Su Hao to make his dazzling entrance.

Even if Zhongli hadn't said anything, Su Hao would have wanted to fight Osel and Baqiu, since he hadn't had a good time fighting the Scattered Soldiers and the Doctor last time.

Fighting these ancient demon gods is what makes it exciting! Although Su Hao outwardly says he prefers a peaceful life, too much peace isn't good either.

Just like Saitama in One-Punch Man, doesn't he also want a thrilling battle?

Unfortunately, no matter who he's facing, he can kill them with a single punch. Even if one punch isn't enough, a few more punches will usually end the fight.

Now, on the continent of Teyvat, Su Hao, who has reached the realm of the Demon Gods, is facing the same situation. If one strike isn't enough, he'll just keep slashing. After all, aside from gods like Zhongli, Ray, and Wendy, there are no other gods like them.

Other beings who arrive at the Demon God's realm will find it extremely difficult to be struck by Su Hao's blade.

Isn't this what a stragglers with the power of the God of Righteousness are like?

Therefore, Su Hao was quite looking forward to seeing how powerful Oser and Baqiu would become after the Fools released them, given that these two demon gods had been sealed away for so long.

Hearing Su Hao's encouragement, Ningguang smiled slightly and gazed at Liyue Harbor in the distance.

The two set off again, rushing quickly towards Liyue Harbor.

Previously, they had to support the immortal body of the Rock King Emperor, which slowed their movements considerably, but now that the Rock King Emperor was no longer a burden...

In less than half an hour, Su Hao and Ningguang arrived at Yujingtai in Liyue Harbor.

Not long after Su Hao and Ning Guang arrived, they saw Ke Qing commanding the Thousand Rock Army of Yujingtai.

After a brief inquiry and investigation, everyone except the Winter Solstice Mission was cleared of suspicion.

The Winter Solstice Mission protested, but the protest was ineffective. Because of this relationship, some people who left Yujingtai looked at the Winter Solstice Mission with considerable hostility.

Because in their view, this was most likely the work of the Fools. Would the Liyue Sept and the Thousand Rock Army target someone for no reason?

This is clearly impossible. The Winter Mission was targeted; there must be something wrong with them!

"You're back."

When Keqing saw Ningguang return, she complained, "You left so easily. If I had come any later, there probably would have been a riot here."

Ningguang smiled and shook her head. She teased Keqing, "Even if another hour passes, there won't be a riot. These are all people of high status and great wealth. They know very well what the situation is right now."

“If they dare to riot under these circumstances, they will be imprisoned even if they are innocent.”

Keqing didn't speak, because Ningguang was right, but she wanted to complain.

Ningguang left so efficiently. After giving the order, she took the Emperor's immortal body and left Liyue Harbor with Su Hao, heading to the Golden House.

Yes, although the live stream was turned off in the middle, Keqing could tell at a glance that Ningguang was heading towards the Golden House.

This is the closest and safest place to Liyue Harbor. Keqing admires Ningguang for being able to come up with the idea of ​​hiding the Emperor's body there in such a short time.

If it were her... she'd probably just throw it in the group files!

Since throwing the Ice Queen's authority into the group files is fine, it shouldn't matter if I throw the Emperor's immortal body into it either, right?

"Alright, let's go. Leave this to Yelan." Ningguang knew that time was of the essence, so she looked at Keqing and said, "Judging by the time, they should be arriving soon."

Ke Qing nodded slightly. She knew who Ning Guang was referring to—the other seven stars.

"Su Hao."

At this moment, Ke Qing suddenly remembered something and looked at Su Hao, saying, "Could you go and comfort Gan Yu? She seems to be having some trouble accepting of the current situation."

Su Hao was slightly taken aback, not expecting Ke Qing to suggest that he comfort Gan Yu. However, he didn't think much of it and simply nodded, saying, "Leave it to me."

After Yi finished speaking, Su Hao walked towards the other side of Yujingtai and saw Gan Yu, who was in a daze, and Yae no Miko, who was comforting her.

Clearly, Gan Yu, the secretary of the Seven Stars, has completely lost her motivation to work.

In the past, Gan Yu should now be maintaining order at the scene, just like Ning Guang and Ke Qing, and ordering the Thousand Rock Army to do things, and even resorting to [military deterrence] if necessary.

But now Gan Yu did nothing; she stood before the overturned incense burner as if she had lost something.

"Ah~"

Yae no Miko sighed, seemingly unsure of what to do. Then, when she saw Su Hao arrive, her eyes lit up slightly, and she quickly waved for Su Hao to come over.

"........."

Su Hao walked over silently and stood beside Gan Yu, unsure of what to say.

Because he knew perfectly well that the Rock King Emperor was not dead, but was instead drinking tea with other gods in a teahouse not far away, watching the show he had directed and acted in.

But from Gan Yu's perspective, it meant that the Rock King Emperor, whom she respected and admired, had suddenly died.

His death was too sudden; he didn't even get to see the deceased emperor one last time while on a mission.

Furthermore... Gan Yu herself is currently very confused and doesn't know which way to go. She finally got the Emperor's approval to travel with Su Hao.

The emperor died the very next day. What kind of situation is this?

Anyway, once Su Hao put himself in Gan Yu's shoes, he suddenly felt a huge headache coming on, and now was definitely not the time to offer advice.

Let Gan Yu calm down on his own. All he can do is stand by her side to show that he is there for her.

"Ahem." Seeing Su Hao standing there like an idiot, Yae no Miko was speechless. She deliberately coughed a few times to attract Gan Yu's attention.

"Su Hao, you're back." Gan Yu stopped looking at the incense burner when she saw Su Hao return. She took a deep breath and forced a smile, saying, "I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me."

"By the way, I'm afraid I'll have to postpone the trip for a while."

“Liyue Harbor still needs me, but since the Lord has left, my contract should logically end... Besides, there are still many things to do in Liyue Harbor that I can no longer take over.”

"No!!! Why did the Emperor die? I must find out. A being as powerful as the Emperor could not possibly die so quietly."

Gan Yu continued talking to herself, seemingly trying to find a reason for herself to keep going.

Looking at Gan Yu now, Su Hao felt that her emotions seemed somewhat unstable. She was like a drowning person desperately grasping at the last straw to keep herself from sinking.

Even if that straw can temporarily stop Gan Yu from going under, what will happen after that?

The impact I've had is really significant. I should have easily gotten through this phase, but Gan Yu is now feeling lost. For various reasons, her mental state is almost crumbling.

Fortunately, it wasn't a demon. If it were, he would probably be suffering the consequences of his karma.

So Su Hao gave Yae no Kamiko a look, signaling her to leave for the time being, as he wanted to talk to Gan Yu alone.

'? '

Yae no Miko gave Su Hao a questioning look, as if to say, why is she avoiding me?

Su Hao blinked, indicating that he wouldn't be able to say anything if you didn't leave.

"?" Yae no Miko narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Su Hao like a fox.

But Su Hao was already used to Yae no Miko's gaze. The gaze probably meant... you're up to something!

In the end, Yae no Miko obediently left, because she could also clearly sense that Sister Gan Yu's mental state was not right.

If she isn't guided and comforted in time, she is very likely to do something extreme.

Don't doubt that she would do such a thing, like in the movie "Ray," after experiencing a series of cruel events.

It wasn't that his ideas were extreme; he created the "Thunder General," then locked himself in the Pure Land of the Heart and began pursuing the path of eternity.

After Yae no Miko left, Su Hao looked at Gan Yu and said, "Miss Gan Yu, could you come with me to the side for a moment?"

Gan Yu nodded silently. She knew Su Hao had something to say to her, so she didn't object and followed Su Hao to a secluded corner.

"If anyone comes, can you stop them?"

Midway, Su Hao stopped several Thousand Rock Army soldiers and asked them to help keep others from disturbing him and Gan Yu.

"Yes!" The officers of the Thousand Rock Army recognized Su Hao and knew who he was. They also recognized Gan Yu, their Seven Star Secretary.

Anyone could see that Gan Yu was acting strangely, and they were willing to help Su Hao stop the people.

After arriving at a secluded corner, Su Hao first threw the brocade pouch that the Eightfold Divine Child had once given him into the group file, and then casually set up a soundproof barrier.

'?' Yae no Miko had planned to eavesdrop, but Su Hao's move made it impossible for her to eavesdrop at all.

"So mysterious, could it be something important?" Yae no Miko stroked his chin, pondering what Su Hao would say to calm Gan Yu down.

Confessing his feelings? That doesn't seem like something Su Hao would do.

He's indicating he'll become the new Rock God? And he's renegotiating his contract with Gan Yu?

In that case, Su Hao will probably be taken away by Zhen and Ying overnight.

Gan Yu's sudden outburst of emotions was entirely due to the fact that the Seven Stars of Liyue had taken many things from her earlier.

After the death of the Geo Archon, Gan Yu's contract with Liyue Harbor came to an end.

Even if Gan Yu didn't say it, Yae no Miko could imagine that Liyue Harbor was no longer a "home" or a "safe place" in Gan Yu's eyes.

This was just a temporary illusion caused by anxiety and mental breakdown. Yae no Miko sent Su Hao to comfort Gan Yu so that she could find a sense of belonging.

She's too fixated on things. If you just give her a little guidance and make her realize that things aren't as serious as she imagines, there won't be any problems.

However, Yae no Miko was unusually curious about how Su Hao would comfort Sister Gan Yu, and thought that she would ask Sister Gan Yu properly once she came out.

Inside the barrier, Su Hao looked at Gan Yu, but Gan Yu remained silent with her head down.

"Su Hao..." Gan Yu finally spoke. She wanted to say that she was fine, and if there was nothing else, she would go to work.

But Su Hao spoke faster than she did, looking at Gan Yu and saying, "Miss Gan Yu, you participated in the Demon God War, didn't you?"

"Huh?" Gan Yu didn't expect Su Hao to ask this. She hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Actually, it's more accurate to say I experienced the Demon God War than to say I participated in it."

"I only helped the Emperor during the later stages of the Demon God War, which was near the end."

Gan Yu looked a little embarrassed, and she couldn't help but blush as she recalled her experiences in the Demon God War.

At that time, when she was young, she was swallowed by a huge beast due to various accidents. Because of her slightly overweight body, she got stuck in the beast's esophagus and was eventually easily subdued.

Although she grew stronger later on, compared to immortals like Liuyun Zhenjun, and beings like the Emperor, Miss Guizhong, and Ruotuo Dragon King, she was still far superior.

She was still too weak to be of much help, and only at the very end did she offer the Emperor a tiny bit of assistance.

This is why, shortly after Liyue Harbor was established, Gan Yu volunteered to become the secretary of the Liyue Seven Stars.

From the past to the present, in accordance with the contract with the Emperor, she has served as the secretary of the Liyue Seven Stars as a whole for three thousand years.
