But now... the Emperor has passed away, and the contract has naturally disappeared. Coupled with her recent confusion, Gan Yu's mental state has also begun to become unstable.
"So, you don't even know what happened after the Demon God died?" Su Hao asked again.
"Eh?" Gan Yu was slightly taken aback. She said quite naturally, "Of course I know that the death of a demon god will bring disaster to this land. The stronger the demon god, the more terrifying the disaster brought by the death. This is why the Yaksha clan only has one demon-slaying saint left."
"That's why the Emperor didn't kill those demon gods afterward; instead, he suppressed them by sealing them away..."
At this point, Gan Yu seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes began to sparkle.
"Su Hao, what do you mean?!" Gan Yu wasn't stupid; she might get stuck on something for no reason, and she might even do something foolish.
But she is by no means stupid. After all, she has lived for so many years and managed so many things. Gan Yu is not a fool.
Therefore, she immediately guessed the key point, and at the same time, she connected it with the situation of today's invocation ceremony and the strange behavior of the Fools.
Although we don't know why the Emperor did this, or even faked his death, there must be a deeper meaning behind it.
"I didn't say anything." Seeing that Gan Yu understood and her condition recovered at a visible speed, Su Hao nodded slightly and then added, "More importantly, before this matter is over, no third party can know about it."
Although Su Hao said this, he knew in his heart that, given Gan Yu's personality, she would definitely keep this matter to herself until the Rock King Emperor finished his work.
"Hmm."
Gan Yu nodded repeatedly, her mood instantly improving at the thought that the Emperor was not dead.
At the same time, Gan Yu blushed a little and felt somewhat guilty, realizing that she was not smart enough, as she could have seen through it at a glance.
Why didn't I think of that? No, actually I did think of it, but I felt that the Emperor loved the people of Liyue and everything about Liyue Harbor, so he restrained his power before his death, which is why it only had such a small impact.
If Su Hao hadn't given me a little pointer, I wouldn't have even thought about it. Oh dear! I've really neglected my duty.
Yes... How could someone as powerful as the Emperor die like this? I was definitely overthinking it.
And I shouldn't have done that, letting Su Hao reveal this. What if the Emperor finds out and blames him? Was I part of the plan?
With that thought in mind, Su Hao opened the barrier and brought Gan Yu out.
After seeing that Gan Yu was alright, the other soldiers of the Thousand Rock Army continued with their own tasks.
On the other side, Yae no Miko looked at Gan Yu, who had recovered, with some shock. She couldn't help but step forward and look at Su Hao and Gan Yu, saying, "You two only chatted for a short while? And you're already better???"
That's way too fast! It didn't even take half a minute!
Yae no Miko looked at Gan Yu and Su Hao with some suspicion. What exactly did they exchange in those half a minute that made Gan Yu return to normal?
Yae no Miko's eyes were fixed on Su Hao, as if to say, "I'm very curious, so tell me quickly! Otherwise, don't sleep too soundly tonight!!"
This made Su Hao feel a little overwhelmed, and he lied helplessly, saying, "It's nothing, we just talked about the trip."
"Mm." Gan Yu nodded slightly in agreement, then quickly added, "I have to go to work now. I have to be there for the Seven Stars meeting."
With that, Gan Yu prepared to jog away.
After running a short distance, Gan Yu seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around and looked at Su Hao, saying loudly, "Thank you, Su Hao!"
After saying that, Gan Yu ignored the reactions of others and rushed towards the Qunyu Pavilion, where the Seven Stars were holding their meeting.
“………………”X2
Ella and Black Ella looked at each other without saying a word, their thoughts unknown.
Mona and Ayaka Kamisato had somehow gotten together and were whispering to each other.
Hisagi Shinobu and Sango Miyako Shinkai watched Gan Yu leave, as if they had witnessed a good show, and Su Hao looked somewhat surprised.
"There's something going on." Yae no Miko pulled out a folding fan from somewhere, opened it, and covered most of her face. Then, her seemingly expressive eyes stared at Su Hao.
Su Hao looked at Yae no Miko with annoyance and said, "You know my personality. If I really had that idea, Ella would be pregnant by now."
"Maybe she just hasn't met the right person yet?" Yae no Miko naturally knew what kind of person Su Hao was, but she still joked, "Have you taken a fancy to Sister Gan Yu? If you have, just let me know, Inazuma would love to have Sister Gan Yu here~"
Su Hao refused to chat with the Eightfold Divine Child. Purple lightning lit up in the space beside him, and the hilt of the Seven Thunder Blades of Purification appeared. The meaning was clear: if they continued talking, he was ready to make a move.
"Honestly, he's getting less and less adorable." Seeing this, Yae no Miko naturally decided not to provoke Su Hao and slunk away.
However, Yae no Miko also inwardly complained about the movie, saying that such a cute boy had ended up being corrupted by her.
Su Hao naturally didn't intend to let Yae no Kamiko continue, because the more she talked, the worse it would get, and she might end up talking about marriage proposals, Gan Yu's married life, and other such nonsense.
And, sure enough, this trick of Lei's movies never fails!
Su Hao then remained at Yujingtai, and like any other ordinary person, began to undergo investigation by Qianyan Army.
Of course... not a single member of the Thousand Rock Army came to question him, and they even deliberately walked away from him.
Everyone knows that Su Hao couldn't be the murderer. If you suspect him, then you also have to suspect whether the current Thor was involved in this event.
Furthermore, if even Su Hao is on the suspect list, then the Seven Stars of Liyue and the Immortal Clan will likely also be on the suspect list.
So most people walked past Su Hao, only Ye Lan came over and said a few words to Su Hao.
She simply said a few words, such as she really didn't expect today to be so busy, and she thought there would be time to relax later.
To everyone's surprise, the Emperor passed away, which suddenly increased the workload.
Although there is still time to chat, it will only be for a short while. After the Seven Stars meeting ends, her workload will be unimaginably heavy.
Su Hao could only offer Ye Lan a few words of comfort; there was nothing else he could do.
After exchanging a few words, Ye Lan went back to her work. Then, a soldier from the Thousand Rock Army came over and told Su Hao and the others that they could leave now.
It seemed that only the members of the Winter Mission were not allowed to leave the scene, and after investigations and screenings by various parties, they were the most suspicious.
The Winter Delegation protested, but to no avail. They then angrily exclaimed, "Is this how Liyue treats its guests?!"
Then Yelan told the members of the Winter Delegation that they could be released, and that they should call over either the prince or one of the executors, and then the prince would be released.
This silenced the Winter Solstice Mission instantly, as they had special means to notify the Executor of the Fools.
But right now, the members of the Winter Mission felt that this was most likely done by the young master or his servant. After all, who else besides the Fools would be so audacious as to attack a god?
The Abyss Order? How could those insects dare to do something so significant at this time?
Even the members of the Winter Mission felt that the Abyss Order simply did not have the strength or resources to do this.
Therefore, if they assumed their master was the murderer, how could they possibly contact the young master or the servant?
To drag them back into this? That would be utterly outrageous!
So the members of the Winter Mission simply kept quiet and continued to play dead, acting as if they had no idea what the other party was talking about.
Faced with this scene, Ye Lan sneered a few times, as if she had seen through everything, and said that if there were no objections, then people should stay here in peace.
And so, the people from Yujingtai began to leave one after another.
Su Hao and the others also chose to leave, while Qin, Yae no Miko, and the delegation represented by Falushan remained here.
It wasn't that they couldn't leave, but rather that they chose to stay and assist Liyue, since the Jade Pavilion was up there, waiting for the Seven Stars to finish their meeting.
If you need their help, they can lend a hand immediately.
And so, only the foreign delegations, the Thousand Rock Army maintaining order, and Yelan, a direct subordinate of the Seven Stars, remained at Yujingtai.
Kurumi reluctantly said goodbye to Kuri and Yoomiya, saying that she would come to visit the temple sometime.
Klee and Yoomiya were also a little reluctant to part with Kurumi, but they had important business to attend to right now.
Both Klee and Yoomiya said that once things were resolved and they had more free time, they would go to see Kurumi as soon as possible.
And so, the three women made a pact to meet whenever they had time to continue discussing the creation of a new type of bouncing bomb!
Su Hao was terrified. Had they already reached the manufacturing stage?! Wasn't this progress far too fast?!
Weren't we just discussing how to create the new type of bouncing bomb? Now we can manufacture it? Are we really just missing one person, Yoshimiya, to come up with a creative idea?
"Sigh, what a pity. I thought we could have dinner tonight, but now it looks like it will all be postponed." Hu Tao sighed after leaving Yujingtai.
She seemed a little disappointed. She had clearly booked a private room at Liuli Pavilion for tonight, but now it seemed like it was all for naught.
"Huh? Why???"
Paimon was filled with questions. She was really looking forward to the food at Liuli Pavilion! How come it was all for nothing?
Ying looked at Paimon with some helplessness and said, "The Rock King has just passed away. At this critical moment, I believe that no shop in Liyue will be open."
Kuki Shinobu nodded seriously, and said thoughtfully, "Furthermore, Hall Master Hu will probably be busy soon."
"Yes, the passing of a god will probably be an unimaginable blow to others," Coral Palace Heart Sea sighed, as if she could see the future of some people.
The passing of a deity generates immense buzz in any country.
In Inazuma, if General Raiden were to suddenly pass away like this one day, many Inazuma people would probably be unable to bear it and would choose to follow the general into death.
This is not surprising; in every country, gods represent a supreme position.
Moreover, in Liyue, the level of worship for the Geo Archon has reached an extremely fanatical level.
Reforms, whether for Inazuma, Sumeru, or Mondstadt, must be carried out gradually.
In Liyue, the Geo Archon announced the beginning of the era of humans and immortals. The Liyue Seven Stars agreed, the immortals agreed, everyone agreed, and they marched forward rapidly in this direction.
The fact that there were no dissenting voices speaks volumes.
Right now, with the death of the Geo Archon, there are probably a lot of people in Liyue who can't accept the blow.
"Sigh~" Hu Tao also sighed, and the smile on her face disappeared. The Rebirth Hall was about to welcome a large number of customers, but she couldn't be happy.
The cycle of life and death is the natural order, but now that the Emperor has died, countless elderly people, upon hearing the news, could not catch their breath and subsequently passed away along with him.
Therefore, the ancestral hall will be extremely busy from now on, and Hu Tao is aware of this, which is why she regrets not being able to have dinner tonight.
After tonight, who knows how much relaxation she'll have left?
"…………"
Su Hao remained silent, which made it clear that Hu Tao did not appear at all during the Sending-Off-Immortals Ceremony in the original storyline, only appearing once in the background.
This shows how the death of the Geo Archon affected Liyue.
Given Hu Tao's personality, she would never miss the tradition of personally seeing off Prince Yan during the farewell ceremony for the immortals.
But she still missed it, which only shows that she was really busy at that time, so she had to leave everything to Zhongli to handle.
And so, the group headed toward the Hall of Rebirth, and along the way, everyone talked about only one thing: the death of the Emperor.
However, some people say that the Emperor did not die. He was just tired and took a short nap. Qixing was unaware of these things or was frightened, which is why he said that the Emperor was dead.
The idea that the Geo Archon is not dead has become the mainstream view in Liyue Harbor, with everyone trying to deceive themselves in various ways.
