They stood on both sides of the street, waving the flags of the dual elements of grass and rock in their hands, and shouting things like "Long live the friendship between Suli", creating a scene of eternal friendship between the two countries.

However, beneath this jubilant appearance, as a conscious god, Nashida was still keenly aware of the malicious gazes of some people in the crowd, staring at her carriage.

It seems that although Liyue seems to be united on the surface, there are undercurrents beneath the surface.

In addition, Zhongli seemed a little too enthusiastic this time. For some reason, Nashida suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

It was like walking on a webway in the subspace. There was endless malice all around, but as the protagonist, she was completely unaware of it.

"It's not a big deal. This is Liyue. Zhongli is watching us. What can happen?"

Suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, Nashida continued to smile and waved her hands to the enthusiastic crowds on both sides of the street.

Just like that, after visiting almost all of Liyue's most important areas, the carriage finally turned around and started heading towards Yujingtai.

As Nashida got closer to Yujing Terrace, she saw many familiar faces on the viewing platforms on both sides, which alleviated some of her uneasiness.

Xiangling, Xingqiu, Chongyun... these people whom she had never actually seen before but whose names she could say were now standing on the viewing platform, together to witness the historic moment of the two gods meeting.

Not only that, she even saw Walnut and others waving at her. It seemed that she had been circling the city for a long time.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of everyone in Liyue, the carriage slowly stopped in front of Yujing Terrace and the door opened.

Then, Nashida waved her little hands and walked to the Yujing Platform.

To be honest, it was her first time to meet another god so formally as a god, and she was somewhat nervous.

But besides being nervous, she was also a little curious and wondered how Zhongli would meet her.

She had just seen from the viewing platform that Zhongli's human form was still next to Hutao. He couldn't just fly over like that.

Therefore, there must be another way for "Emperor Rock King" to appear.

"I am the God of Wisdom "Buyer", and I am very happy to be invited to Liyue today..."

Walking to the center of Yujing Terrace, Nashida began her speech according to her pre-planned plan.

But in the next moment, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and the golden clouds in the sky suddenly turned pitch black.

Then, under Nashida's confused gaze and the stunned gaze of all the people of Liyue, a giant golden dragon fell straight in front of Nashida like a kite with a broken string.

At the same time, inside Nashida's body, the divine power that had been infused into her by Zhongli also rioted. Before she could react, it rushed to the surface of her body, giving her a layer of golden rock element special effects in the eyes of everyone.

"The emperor is assassinated, the whole place is blocked!"

Chapter 165 Liyue State of Emergency

Three days have passed since Emperor Rock King was assassinated in public.

And within just three short days, this explosive news had spread throughout Liyue.

In particular, Nashida's shocked expression after seeing the fall of the Rock God left a deep impression on everyone present.

At this critical moment when the grass god visited, the rock god was suddenly stabbed, which makes it hard not to make some associations.

Rumors began to spread, and even within just a few days, hundreds of versions had been updated. Even though the Liyue and Xumi officials had refuted the rumors many times, it was of no avail.

Because no matter how you explain it, the emperor did not die earlier or later, but just died when you, the Grass God, came. No one will believe you if you say that this has nothing to do with you.

What's more, you are obviously the God of Grass. Why did you suddenly release so much rock elemental power after the death of the Emperor? How can this not arouse suspicion?

Therefore, as time went on, more and more Liyue people began to cast suspicious eyes on the visiting Xumi people, and under the instigation of some people who were afraid of chaos in the world, this suspicion also intensified in private.

For example, at this moment, the gate of the Xumi visiting group’s Liyue residence is already surrounded by a large number of Liyue people who have come to ask for an explanation.

...

"Chairman Elhaisen, more and more people are gathering outside the door. Now we are all trapped in this small yard. What should we do?"

In the meeting room of the main house of the resident, Shazaman, who had just gone outside to investigate the situation, ran in anxiously.

Looking around and seeing that everyone was there, he described to everyone the scene he had just seen outside the wall of the base.

It was not difficult to tell from his slightly panicked expression that even though there was strict protection of the Qianyan Army outside the base, he was still a little frightened by the angry people outside the wall.

After all, he is just an ordinary businessman. At most, he has a higher level of ideological awareness and firmer beliefs. He has never seen such a scene, so it is normal for him to have such a reaction.

However, other people in the conference room did not have such a reaction. They had all followed the Grass God all the way and had seen all kinds of storms. There were just a few of them, so what was there to be afraid of?

If it weren't for the fact that the people outside were instigated, the few people in this room alone would be enough to wipe out the people outside dozens of times.

There is no need to sit here and hold a meeting. We have to be careful to avoid further provoking the outside world and escalating the situation.

"Don't worry too much. Didn't Liyue send someone to tell us that they will protect our safety?"

It was Falusan who spoke. Like Elhaisen beside her, she also seemed very calm in the face of this seemingly critical situation.

Anyway, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up... Well, maybe not that tall? But the Lord Grass God is still there. Even if Liyue really wants to take action against them, it has to think twice, right?

Not long after the assassination of Emperor Geo, Liyue declared a state of emergency for the entire territory and moved all members of the visiting delegation here. They also stationed heavy troops to protect them, for fear that something might happen to them and cause misunderstandings.

Otherwise, at a time when the God of Rock had just been assassinated and the murderer had not been found yet, if they offended the Grass God who had been friendly to them before, it would be a big trouble.

"Perhaps at this moment, Liyue is more worried about our safety than our own, don't you think, Elhaisen?"

Hearing his senior cueing him, Elhaisen nodded, agreeing with her opinion.

At this stage, the best option for this group of people is to stay here and wait. Once Liyue has investigated the matter thoroughly and Lord Grass God has resolved the matter, they will naturally be able to escape.

However, it is worth mentioning that after the assassination incident, unlike the surging public opinion, the Liyue officials never expressed any suspicion towards Nashida. Not only did they not have any suspicion, but they also specially sent someone to invite her to participate in the investigation.

This time, Liyue declared a state of emergency throughout the territory, established a National Emergency Committee with the participation of the Liyue Seven Stars and the Three-Eyed Five Immortals, and implemented martial law in some areas, all at the suggestion of Nashida.

With the passing of the Emperor, the most urgent task is to use iron-fisted measures to maintain order in Liyue. Both the Seven Stars and the Immortals agree on this.

However, there were too many people outside the Xumi base at the moment, and they were all ordinary people. In addition, the current situation was so sensitive that the Liyue authorities did not send the Thousand Rock Army to suppress them.

"But there are actually quite a few strange things about the assassination of Yan Shen."

After comforting Shazzaman, he began to express his views on the matter.

In his opinion, the assassination of the God of Rock was full of doubts.

"Oh, I wonder what Elhaisen thinks about this. Can you tell me about it?"

When she heard Elhaisen start to express his opinions, Falushan also became interested.

Although she had some guesses in her mind, it was less troublesome to listen to others' stories than to speak them out herself.

"First of all, we must make it clear that the Rock God was definitely not assassinated by our Lord Grass God."

This is certain. Putting aside his motives, Lord Grass God's small stature does not seem like he could assassinate Emperor Rock King, who is known as the God of War.

"Secondly, if this murderer really exists, what means did he use to assassinate Rock God right under the nose of our Lord Grass God, and he was not even discovered."

This was a very outrageous thing, because judging from Nashida's expression at the time, she definitely had not thought that things would turn out this way.

With a little deduction, we can come to an incredible conclusion - the murderer must be extremely powerful.

Being able to assassinate the God of Rock silently under the gaze of the God of Grass, even if you look at the entire Teyvat, there is probably no second person more powerful than this murderer.

"The last and most important point is, why did the fall of the Rock God cause so little noise?"

Nodding to his senior again, Elhaisen stated his analysis to everyone in a serious tone.

"According to the ancient books I have read, the fall of a demon god, no matter how weak it is, will definitely cause huge damage to the surrounding environment."

“Not to mention that this Rock God is also known as the God of War. If he were to perish in Liyue Harbor, to put it bluntly, it’s uncertain how much of Liyue Harbor would be left.”

After hearing what Elhaisen said, the people around him began to think and gradually showed an understanding look.

Yes, why didn’t they think of such an obvious loophole before?

In fact, they are not stupid on weekdays, but in such important matters concerning God, they are inevitably dominated by emotions to a certain extent, so they did not think of this.

Now that Elhaisen has pointed it out, they will certainly come to their senses, and the reason why Liyue is investigating it at a leisurely pace must be that they have taken these points into consideration.

After all, this is not a secret. As long as you look up the information carefully, you can find it.

Coupled with the inexplicable use of the rock elemental power by Lord Grass God before, for some reason, a somewhat outrageous idea appeared in everyone's mind.

Chapter 166 The So-called "Contract" (4000)

That night

After a whole day of meetings, at night, Nashida finally had the opportunity to take some time out to experience the exotic scenery in person.

Although she had heard a lot of descriptions about Liyue before, she still had some feelings after actually coming to Liyue.

Let alone those magnificent jade buildings and pavilions, just the dazzling painting of lights in front of you, anyone who comes here will be unable to help but admire it.

"It's so beautiful~"

Sitting on the cliff of Tianheng Mountain on the outskirts of Liyue City, swinging her feet in the air, looking at the prosperous picture of Liyue which was completely different from Xumi, Nashida certainly did not hesitate to praise it.

It’s a pity that in this almost eternal prosperity, the silt in the dark has become deeper and deeper, and has been accumulating deeper and deeper over thousands of years.

Now that the majestic figure has gone, where should this city, which has left its sheltered place for the first time, go?

"I wonder what the differences and similarities are between Liyue and your Xumi, my friend?"

A breeze brushed across her cheek. Nashida turned her head and saw a reassuring figure walking towards her with his hands behind his back not far behind her.

He was tall and handsome, and his expression showed a kind of majesty without anger, but his tone was very soothing, and his words gave Nashida a sense of kindness.

The feeling Zhongli gave Nashida at this moment was just like the first time she met the Great Kind Tree King, gentle and loving.

Of course, the current Buerle has nothing to do with the above sentence.

Not only that, she would even force Nashida to cook for her, and as soon as Nashida showed the slightest reluctance, she would take out the feather duster strengthened by divine power to force her to submit, and she even called it cultivating Nashida's filial piety.

But how could Nashida give in so easily? So while she seemed to follow the other party's wishes, she would abuse her power a little and let Elhaisen assign more tasks to Buyer in revenge.

Now, whenever Buyer assigned her a task, she would counterattack and give the opponent a super double the task. Nashida just didn't believe that she, a god of wisdom, could not defeat this scumbag mother.

So, during her visit to Liyue this time, she directly arranged a position for Buyer as the head of the garrison government, and the other party had no way to deal with her and could only accept it with gritted teeth.

If Zhongli hadn't given her a big blow this time, she could definitely say that she won a complete victory.

"Liyue is indeed a thousand-year-old city. If we only talk about the level of prosperity, our Xumi still has a long way to go."

Throwing away all the weird thoughts in her mind, Nashida was still extremely respectful towards this "Oldest of the Seven Gods". Her choice of words and sentences was no longer as lively as before, but became much more calm.

"Haha~ Thank you for the compliment, my friend." Looking at Nashida's little adult look, Zhongli couldn't help but smile softly.

"From what I've seen, compared to Xumi's current vibrant appearance, Liyue may still be prosperous on the surface, but at its core it is already old and frail, plagued by a myriad of diseases."

He walked slowly to Nashida and gently rubbed her little head with his hand. While sighing that young people are so powerful, Zhongli cast his gaze towards Liyue Harbor in the distance.

However, while Zhongli was lamenting about life, Nashida, who was being touched on the head, seemed a little troubled.

I don’t know why, but every time she talks to someone, no matter if they are old or young, the person on the other end likes to touch her head.

For example, the Red King, the Tree King, Egolia, Ying and Dina Zedai, after seeing her, the second thing they did after greeting her was to touch her head.

Now there was Zhongli, which made her very confused. Was there really some magic in her hair? Or did this white hair have some special attack? Why did everyone want to stroke her hair so much?

Thinking of this, after Zhongli took his hand away, Nashida put her hand on it and felt the texture of the small badminton.

"It's a new millennium now, Nashida. You've been in Liyue for a few days now. In your opinion, where exactly is the disease of Liyue?"

Noticing Nashida's little movement, Zhongli smiled again, changed his tone, and asked Nashida a question in a very formal manner.

"Ah, yes, okay!" Nashida, who was still patting her head, was stunned when her name was suddenly called by the elder next to her. Even her two little ears twitched and turned slightly red.

But Nashida soon reacted and began to think about Zhongli's question.

It was obvious that Zhongli asked him the question so formally this time and kept the atmosphere going for so long. He definitely didn't come to listen to her business bragging, but really wanted to get insights from her.

So she also had to think carefully, combining what she saw with her own eyes and what she heard from the World Tree, and give her own answer in a concise and detailed manner.

Just like that, this small mountaintop fell into silence again. Zhongli, who was standing by, did not disturb Nashida's thoughts, but stared blankly at the brightly lit city in the distance.

As the night wind blew, the trees growing on the cliff began to rustle, sand and rocks flew everywhere, and the moon that was originally hanging high in the sky now disappeared.

After a long wait, even the weather had changed, Nashida finally spoke and broke the silence.

"In my opinion, the contribution of the "Contract" to Liyue's development to what it is today cannot be ignored."

The reason why Liyue has become the largest trading hub in all of Teyvat is that the people of Liyue generally respect the spirit of contract, which is definitely an important factor.

For a country's business development, speculation is certainly important, but if even the most basic contracts are not followed, it will definitely not develop.

Therefore, the fact that Liyue has such a developed business today is largely due to the "Geo Emperor" and the "contract" he represents.
