No matter what, the Emperor's departure is a fact. Liyue now faces both internal and external troubles. As one of the Seven Stars, she naturally has to shoulder some of the responsibilities that the Emperor once carried.
"Hmm... why are you looking at me? Do you want to do something?"
When she came to her senses, she suddenly found that the maid next to her was staring at her, and Keqing became alert instantly.
She hadn't figured out the other party's true intentions yet, and she wasn't even sure whether he was an enemy or a friend. She also knew that she was no match for him. If he really wanted to do something to her, she wouldn't be able to escape.
Thinking of this, Keqing immediately took a few steps back, with her hand still on her weapon so that she could draw it out and fight at any time.
"Master Yuhengxing, if I wanted to do it, I would have done it just now. Why wait until now? I'm just curious why you are so nostalgic for that gentleman's back. Could it be..."
"Shut up. It's rude to make assumptions about others."
"I haven't said anything yet, Lord Yuhengxing, you are overreacting. Well, this kind of thing is not something I should care about. I wonder who Lord Yuhengxing is referring to when he said someone wants to see me?"
With an expression that said "I understand, I understand", Su Mo changed the subject and began to ask about what Keqing had just said.
"Hmph, the one who wants to see you is Ningguang, the Tianquan Star of Liyue."
If she could beat her, Keqing would have given the despicable maid in front of her an electric shock. She had never seen such a despicable person.
On the surface, they are extremely respectful to you, but in fact they use some respectful words to insult you. This is the most annoying thing.
"Tianquanxing? Hmm, another big shot. I am really flattered as a little maid."
Although he had only been in Liyue for a short time, Su Mo had already heard of the name of Tianquan Star. He even heard countless versions of her early experiences.
"Then I'll trouble Master Yuhengxing to lead the way."
Since Tianquanxing has invited him, he must accept it. After all, he revealed the news just for this moment.
As for whether there would be an ambush, Su Mo chose to believe Tianquanxing once. Liyue was a country of contract after all. If even the Seven Stars violated the contract, how could this country dare to call itself a country of contract? Besides, his sister Tazi was no pushover.
"You... come with me."
Keqing was a little surprised that the other party agreed to her request so quickly. She had thought that the argument would take a long time, after all, neither of them trusted the other.
-------------------------------------
"It seems you are Miss Rita."
Although she was a little surprised that Keqing brought people here so early, Ningguang still immediately received the two of them.
"You are right. If I am not mistaken, then you must be Lord Tianquanxing."
Because she usually either drank tea with Zhongli in the teahouse or stayed at home reading, this was the first time Su Mo saw Tianquanxing Ningguang.
"Don't be so polite, just call me Ningguang. Bring me some tea, Bai..."
"No need for tea. I'm sure Lady Ningguang didn't come to drink tea with me. It must be because of what I told Lady Yuhengxing before."
"Yes, I asked you to come here for this matter. If I'm not mistaken, there are other people behind you, right?"
Seeing that the other party was so direct, Ningguang went straight to the point. Although she was very skilled in using all kinds of roundabout ways, she also liked to be more straightforward.
"As expected of you, Lady Ningguang. I will not hide it from you. I am just a little maid. My young master asked me to do this."
Su Mo reacted quickly. He decided to go along with what Ning Guang said. After all, he was both a maid and a young master, and it was still "justice".
Master?
Upon hearing this word, Ningguang quickly thought of the big families in Liyue, but due to the wide range, she was unable to determine any useful information.
"I don't know if it's possible..."
"Lord Ningguang, you should understand that meals should be eaten slowly. Besides, my young master doesn't like to show up in public. He just wants to be a quiet audience. I hope Lord Ningguang will forgive me."
Knowing that Ningguang would say this, Su Mo threw out the words he had prepared in advance.
"I can understand that, but how can I be sure that what your young master said is true? This is a very important matter for us in Liyue."
Ningguang had anticipated this. After all, how could the person behind the scenes show up so easily?
"Time will tell. Besides, Lady Ningguang will not give up the preparations she made just because of my young master's one-sided statement, right?"
"Of course, but your young master is really mysterious and strange. He could have chosen to make things clear, but he left us guessing."
"Perhaps my young master likes this kind of ambiguous feeling. After all, a drama must be full of twists and turns to leave a deep impression on people."
Always maintaining an elegant and decent smile on his face, Su Mo spoke vividly without blushing or getting nervous.
"Oh, by the way, the master asked me to remind you to be careful of things on the bottom of the sea."
At this time, perhaps because the system saw that Su Mo was working too hard to find clues, it suddenly gave him a hint. He was very clear about this and directly told Ningguang the clue. After all, there is strength in numbers.
Something under the sea?!

"Master Yuhengxing, just send it here!"
After coming down from the Qun Yu Pavilion, Keqing had been following Su Mo, which forced him to turn around and say this to her. After all, it was not convenient for him to go back like this.
"I hope I won't find out you're lying to us."
When she heard the voice, Keqing realized that she seemed to have followed the other person for too long. She was a little embarrassed, but in order to cover up her embarrassment, she said this viciously.
Although the maid named Rita provided them with a lot of seemingly very important information, none of them could be confirmed to be true. Also, no one knew who the mysterious young master was or why he did this, so Keqing still maintained a highly suspicious attitude towards Rita.
"But Lord Yuhengxing, it seems that you can't beat me. Is it really okay? Please don't force it."
Su Mo just smiled slightly at Keqing's expression.
This woman...
call--
Hearing this, Keqing was also a little angry. After all, what the other person said was indeed true. But even so, she still wanted to say: "You are right, I really can't beat you, but if you have the confidence to face the wrath of our entire Liyue, then you can give it a try!"
"Okay, but Master Yuhengxing, I've said that time will tell. Now, please excuse me and take my leave."
Seeing Keqing so serious, Su Mo stopped teasing her. After saying this, he jumped directly onto the roof next to him and disappeared into the dark night.
Something on the bottom of the sea...
The girl who killed the emperor will not attack again...
Someone wants to take advantage of this opportunity to do something bad to Liyue...
And that mysterious young master...
Standing on the street of Liyue and watching Su Mo disappear into the night, Keqing walked back while thinking about these questions. She couldn't rest yet.
-------------------------------------
I should have known not to run so far...
Su Mo, who had transformed back to his original appearance, had just returned to Liyue Harbor from the wilderness outside. He wanted to complain about why he had to run such a long way just now.
After separating from Keqing just now, Su Mo ran to a deserted place for safety reasons and turned back to his original appearance under the cover of the system.
But it was safe, except that Su Mo had to walk back by himself.
Although he could use some of the power of the Herrscher of the Void to teleport back directly, to be on the safe side, he chose to walk back slowly.
Keqing certainly didn't expect that I would return to Liyue like this...
Thinking about how cool he was in front of Keqing just now, and then looking at how exhausted he was now, Su Mo felt a little embarrassed.
But fortunately, he is the only one who knows all this. Neither the mysterious young master nor his elegant maid has lost their due dignity. They are still mysterious and full of mysteries.
Let me, Su Mo, handle all this... Keqing? Why is she still here?
Just when Su Mo wanted to express his feelings, he suddenly saw Keqing standing not far away, not knowing what she was doing.
Su Mo? The strange guy who often drinks tea with Mr. Zhongli...
Feeling as if someone was looking at her, Keqing subconsciously raised her head and looked forward. It turned out that someone was indeed looking at her, and she knew that person.
Although he doesn't have the Eye of God, he can use some elemental powers, and several kinds of them. So she was also impressed by this young man named Su Mo, and the two of them had many dealings because of this matter.
"It's so late, Master Yuhengxing, why haven't you gone home yet? Is he waiting for someone?"
Although he didn't know why Keqing was still standing here, Su Mo was not panicked at all. He didn't think Keqing would know his secret, so he chose to face the challenge.
"I'm not waiting for anyone. By the way, let me ask you a question. Do you think there are people who would reveal some important information but not completely reveal it and then hide behind the scenes to watch the show? For example, in some murder cases."
Having been thinking about it for a long time without any clue, Keqing decided to give it a try and asked Su Mo who happened to pass by.
She didn't think Su Mo had anything to do with the matter, she just wanted to see what other people thought. After all, those involved are often confused while bystanders can see things more clearly. Maybe other people's opinions could bring her some unexpected gains.
"I think it's entirely possible. After all, there are people who really like to watch others struggling to figure out some clues that they don't know if they are true or false, because it's a feeling of domination, a feeling of dominating others at will. I don't think anyone would hate that feeling, and if the people in the game are some big shots with higher status than him, that feeling would be even more pleasant."
Su Mo's heart skipped a beat when he heard Keqing ask him this, but he still analyzed the situation for her seriously, because he didn't think so. He just did it to complete the task.
"I see..."
Keqing, who was lost in thought, nodded. She felt that what Su Mo said made a lot of sense.
Since she took on the position of Yuheng Star, she has met many people like Su Mo described. Without exception, they are all very obsessed with dominating others because that can satisfy their vanity and make them feel different from others.
There are even newcomers who use their power to retaliate against those who used to be higher in status than them, without the other party having offended them. Aren't these the kind of people that Su Mo was talking about?
So that’s how it is. So that’s how it is.
"Thank you, Su Mo. If there is any breakthrough, I will treat you to a meal. I'm leaving first."
Finally having a direction to work towards, Keqing was instantly excited. After saying these words, she quickly left here.
"no problem."
Seeing Keqing suddenly realize and leave in a hurry, Su Mo felt a little guilty because he was completely misleading her.
Guilty, Guilty...
With a slight sense of guilt, Su Mo walked towards his residence.
-------------------------------------
"Mr. Zhongli, who are we waiting for?"
The next morning, Su Mo arrived at the place Mr. Zhongli mentioned to meet him, but Mr. Zhongli said he had to wait for someone else, which made him a little curious.
"Sir, this is the young man you saw yesterday."
Zhongli replied quickly.
"I didn't expect him to contribute both money and effort. It seems he really likes the Emperor."
Su Mo's impression of the young master improved a lot. After all, it was rare to find someone who could contribute both money and effort.
"Ahem, maybe so. He came to the Hall of Rebirth to talk to me about this matter last night. But this is also good. More people means more strength. We have to finish everything today."
"Are you in such a hurry? Will you be late?"
"Not really, but there are many things that are beyond our control. What is coming will come. The only feasible way is for us to prepare for it before it happens."
Zhongli picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"this..."
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I was delayed just now."
Just when Su Mo was about to ask Zhongli what these words meant, the young master's voice suddenly came, which meant that he had arrived.
"No problem. Now that everyone is here, let's get started. Let's start with..."
"Mr. Zhongli, since the Emperor has really passed away, I wonder where his Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Sheath is. I guess we must see the Emperor's Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Sheath during the Immortal Ceremony. Should I be well prepared? Otherwise, it would be bad if I fail to show proper etiquette."
I don’t know why the young master interrupted Zhongli.
"There's no rush. We'll see it when we're ready."
Zhongli didn't care about the young master interrupting him, he just said this lightly.
"Hahaha, then I'm relieved. With my help, I will prepare everything for the old emperor as quickly as possible. But I don't know if he can feel my kindness and give me something as a gift. Don't you think so?"
After getting Zhongli's answer, the young master seemed a little excited.
