Man in Marvel: The Manifestation of the Gods

Hearing this, Rody chuckled and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Mr. Zhongli, what does the destruction and rebirth of the mortal dynasty have to do with the gods?"

"The gods do not care about the life and death of mortals. The existence of a dynasty will not affect the rule of the gods."

"Is that so?" Zhongli seemed a little disappointed.

This would be of no use to him as he couldn't just watch Liyue being destroyed.

That's when.

Rody noticed that a group of Thousand Rock Army was rushing towards this side on the street.

Woohoo, I have a fever

That’s right, because the author had a fever while dating his partner the day before yesterday.

I will never show off my affection again!

Everyone should try not to gather in large crowds, as it is easy to catch the flu in winter.

I have been feeling unwell since the 31st, and my fever reached 39 degrees yesterday.

I went to the hospital today to get a fever-reducing injection, and I still feel a little dizzy.

So I have to take a break.

I originally wanted to wait until the New Year to ask for leave, huhuhuhu.

You guys can laugh at me as much as you want.

Chapter 505: Keqing! Talk about cooperation

"Oh? It's that kid."

Zhongli followed Rody's gaze and glanced downstairs.

Seeing the graceful and capable figure in a purple gauze short skirt and two ponytails tied at the back, he groaned for a moment.

"Mr. Zhong knows him?"

Roddy raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhongli and asked.

Although he knew Keqing, he didn't know how to show it. Compared to the paper man, Keqing in real life was obviously more mature, and her face looked a little tired.

I think it's because she is focusing on governing Liyue, and it must be tiring to work hard for the country.

Zhongli picked up the teacup and blew on it before taking a sip. He smiled and said, "This is Miss Keqing from Yuheng Star, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue. She probably didn't come here for me. It seems that my chat with you will end for now."

Roddy nodded.

He also realized that Keqing most likely came for him, probably because of the two injured Qianyan soldiers?

He is decisive and swift, worthy of being the one who possesses the divine eye of thunder.

"Looking forward to seeing you next time." Rody smiled at Zhongli.

Zhongli nodded with a smile.

After a while, footsteps were heard outside the door.

With Roddy's hearing ability, he could naturally hear the noise outside the door.

"You guys wait here for now."

A clear female voice gave the order, with a serious tone that came from someone in a high position.

"Yes, Miss Keqing."

Then the door was pushed open.

The girl in purple dress who had just appeared from the window walked into the hall.

His eyes swept across the hall, finally landing on Rody and the other two who were sitting by the window.

Rody's eyes just met Keqing's.

His eyes were filled with confusion and curiosity, and his expression was calm and composed.

"Is this... Miss Keqing? Are you here for tea?" The clerk saw the door open and went forward to greet the visitor, but discovered that the visitor was one of the Seven Stars, and his attitude became even lower.

"I'm here to look for someone, you go and do your work first." Keqing gave a casual instruction and walked quickly towards the window.

The clerk looked at Keqing's back, scratched the back of his head and said, "Strange, why are they all here to see Mr. Zhong?"

Then the clerk shrugged and went to clear the table.

"Cough cough..."

Come to the table.

Keqing was curiously looking at the foreign doctor and the white-haired woman who exuded a cold and chilling aura that kept people away from her.

That’s right, Keqing’s target this time is Rody.

"Sorry to bother you three."

"Don't bother me, isn't this Miss Keqing? But what's the business?"

Seeing Keqing speak, Zhongli winked at Rody quietly, then turned his head and said gently with a slightly surprised expression.

The acting is flawless

Roddy naturally understood that Zhongli winked at him because he didn't want to reveal his identity.

At this time, his eyes were also focused on Keqing who was standing in front of the table.

Well, I have to admit, Keqing's chest is indeed flatter.

In addition, although she is still a young girl, her style of behavior is quite mature.

I wonder if I would cry out if I got punched.

Keqing had no idea that Rody's imagination had run wild. She put on a decent smile on her pretty face and spoke in a light voice.

"It's Mr. Zhong. I've seen you before. You must be the latest guest hired by Wangsheng Hall."

"That's me." Zhongli nodded.

"Then these two are Mr. Zhongli's friends?" Keqing's target was not Zhongli. After saying hello, she turned her gaze to Rody and the other man standing beside them.

Shen He frowned and wanted to say something, but Roddy grabbed his wrist.

Shen He trembled slightly, then relaxed. He just glanced at Keqing with his cold eyes, and said no more, letting Rody hold it.

"No, I don't know Mr. Zhong. We just came here to have tea and we hit it off. We sat down and chatted for a while." Rody took the initiative to speak.

"So that's how it is." Keqing seemed to be thinking about something, then smiled apologetically at Rody, "Sir, don't be nervous. I'm Keqing, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue. May I ask what your name is, sir?"

"Roddy."

"Shen He!" Shen He on the side also spoke.

Roddy found Shen He's stiff tone a little strange. Why did Xiao He seem to dislike Keqing?

Putting aside his doubts for the moment, Rody got straight to the point and said, "Since Miss Keqing is not looking for Mr. Zhong, she must be looking for me?"

"That's right." Keqing smiled politely. "I want to ask, two hours ago, two Thousand Rock soldiers were injured outside Liyue Harbor. Was it you, Mr. Luo, who helped treat them?"

"That's true." Rody nodded, with a hint of confusion on his face. "Could something have happened to those two soldiers?"

“No, no, no.” Seeing Rody getting serious, Keqing waved her hands quickly. “They are fine. The doctor has checked them out. He said that if it weren’t for the help of the experts, they might not have survived to come back…”

At this point, Keqing's tone dropped a little. "I'm sorry, I'm in charge of many affairs of the land and the Thousand Rock Army, and I've seen many of them sacrificed. It's still a bit heavy to talk about these things."

"I see." Rody had roughly guessed Keqing's intention. "It's okay. I understand."

"Ms. Keqing, please take a seat. We can chat slowly. Otherwise, the other tea drinkers may not be able to listen to the storyteller's narration seriously."

As Roddy spoke, he glanced at the other people in the room, all of whom were looking at him with vague curiosity.

Gossip is the sixth instinct of human beings.

The first five are "eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping".

"Exactly."

Zhongli stroked his fan and chuckled, as if he had no intention of leaving. He just sat there and listened openly.

"Ms. Keqing, please take a seat first."

Oh, that's not right. Zhongli was the first one to sit here, so even if he leaves, it should be Rody.

"Thank you."

Keqing nodded, pulled out a chair and sat down, looking at Rody with a sincere tone.

"So, please allow me to express my sincere gratitude to you on behalf of those two soldiers. You saved the lives of two Thousand Rock Army soldiers!"

Regardless of whether Keqing's disappointment just now was intentional, this thank you was at least sincere.

Rody could sense it, so he nodded slightly, "You're welcome. Saving the dying and healing the wounded is what a pharmacist like me should do. It's not my wish to watch someone die without saving them, so you're welcome."

"Sir, you are righteous." Keqing smiled, took out a small bag of money from the Eye of God, put it on the table and pushed it towards Rody, "But I, Liyue, cannot let righteous people feel disappointed. Please accept this Mora."

"Ms. Keqing, what do you mean by this?" Rody refused without even looking at the purse. "Am I saving people for money?"

To be honest, Roddy's words were somewhat exaggerated. After all, he could just say that he was penniless and was looking for a place to sell gems.

But life is like a play, it all depends on your acting skills.

Keqing's purpose actually coincided with Rody's! Most likely, she realized the value of the healing medicine in Rody's hand and wanted to discuss cooperation with him.

For example, the healing medicine in Roddy's hand is equivalent to penicillin. You should know that when penicillin was first invented, it was equivalent to gold.

I just don’t know whether Keqing is speaking in her family’s personal capacity or on behalf of Liyue.

Rody sighed. After all, she was still a little young. He had come here in a hurry without any official taboos. If she was representing Liyue, she would at least have to come to the door in an official capacity to make a notification before discussing it with him.

Then again.

Speaking of negotiation...

Roddy glanced at Zhongli, who was sitting nearby, enjoying himself.

Liyue’s biggest BOSS is right next to you, why are you still talking about official business or not?
