The treasure thieves of Teyvat rob Shenhe

"Lord Ningguang wants to see you, as well as Yuhengxing." Ye Lan said this in a businesslike manner, and then asked curiously, "If I hadn't come, what would you have done?"

"Fishing." Lin Ye said as if it was a matter of course.

"Then you have a lot of free time, our great hero. Do you know that the higher-ups are extremely busy with your affairs?" Ye Lan said, feeling both amused and helpless.

“I don’t deserve to be called a hero. You and Chongyun also helped. This is a collective honor.” Lin Ye said.

Ye Lan smiled and said nothing more.

After Lin Ye asked Shen He to tell Mu Xiaojin and Guru, he went to Qun Yu Pavilion with Ye Lan.

Lin Ye knew clearly that the real impact of the Quantai incident had just begun and would be decided by the managers.

…………

Chapter 160 Is it really possible to do anything?

Lin Ye visited the Qun Yu Pavilion three times.

His complaints will never subside.

One of them is about the strange incident in Tianheng Mountain, and Lord Ningguang invited me to ask about it.

The second is the matter of the resurrection of the demon god Quan Tai, and Lord Ningguang invited me to ask about it.

The third is the matter of the dragon-slaying incident, which Lord Ningguang invited me to inquire about.

Lin Ye had some enlightenment. Every time he went to the Qun Yu Pavilion, he felt like punching out of get off work, similar to when a traveler in the game completed a daily task and had to report to Catherine in the Adventurer's Association.

Despite all the complaints, Lin Ye still followed Ye Lan obediently to the Jade Pavilion to meet Ningguang and Keqing.

Ye Lan said that originally all the seven stars of Liyue were supposed to be present, but some of them were either too busy to spare the time or it was inconvenient for them to show up, so only Tianquan Star and Yuheng Star were present.

The inner hall of the Qun Yu Pavilion.

Normally, when Ningguang discussed important matters with others, she would dismiss the three secretaries, so only Lin Ye and the other four were present.

"Lin Ye, long time no see." Keqing greeted Lin Ye when she saw him.

"Keqing, long time no see. By the way, how is Lu Liu's case going?"

"With Yan Fei's help and Zhao Song's active cooperation, Master Lu confessed everything." Keqing smiled, "This matter is also thanks to the help of you and Lord Ye Lan."

"As a member of Liyue Harbor, it's just my job." Lin Ye's virtue of humility came to light.

Keqing raised the corner of her mouth and said nothing more. It can be seen that Keqing was in a good mood.

After Lin Ye greeted Keqing, Ningguang also spoke.

"It may be a little late to say this, but we still want to welcome the great hero of Liyue Harbor back safely."

"Master Lin Ye, have you seen the excitement in Liyue Harbor these days?"

"The excitement is theirs and has nothing to do with me." Lin Ye was possessed by Lu Xun and said sharply.

Ningguang observed Lin Ye's expression and found that the boy did not look proud or complacent due to victory. She secretly agreed. Ningguang had been a little worried that Lin Ye would be immersed in the praise from the whole city, even if it was not him.

But you can't help but feel secretly happy.

"I wonder if Lady Ningguang wants me to come here for something?" Lin Ye asked straight to the point.

“Of course it’s about the Demon God’s Fountain. Now the rumors in the city are all about the evil dragon that was subdued by the Emperor. The Emperor’s reputation was already very high, and nowadays, everyone has to mention the Emperor in every few words.” Ningguang felt helpless.

"The Emperor is wise and powerful. If I hadn't had the Emperor's blessing, I wouldn't have been able to defeat Quan Tai. Anyone else, with the Emperor's blessing, would have been able to achieve what I have."

After listening to Ningguang's words, Lin Ye inexplicably felt that Ningguang wanted to rebel, which was not allowed, so Lin Ye spoke very cautiously.

Ningguang saw Lin Ye's suspicion and reassured him by speaking out.

"Master Linye, there is no need to belittle yourself. The Emperor told us in a dream this morning that you, Linye, did a good job. You, Miss Shenhe, Master Hu, Mr. Yelan, and Chongyun are all true heroes."

"I asked Lord Ye Lan to bring you here to ask for your opinion on the governance of Liyue Harbor?"

After Ningguang finished speaking, she and Keqing looked towards Lin Ye together.

Lin Ye was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Zhongli asked me, and you asked me too.

Does my opinion matter so much?

To Zhongli, Lin Ye represents mortals who are able to do things beyond the expectations of the gods. Zhongli also has the idea of practicing human rule, so he values Lin Ye's ideas.

To Ningguang and Keqing, Lin Ye is a mortal like them. Although he has been blessed by the Emperor, the Emperor also said that Lin Ye and his friends are the real heroes and recognized their achievements. A mortal hero, this is exactly the chess piece Ningguang needs.

This time, Zhongli and Ningguang had the same goal, but neither of them confessed it to each other.

“Lady Ningguang, Lady Keqing, if you want to ask about the governance of Liyue Harbor, you two are better than an outsider like me. Besides, Liyue has the Emperor governing it, so won’t it ensure eternal peace?” Lin Ye thought for a moment and replied.

Upon hearing this, Keqing spoke first.

"The Emperor can protect Liyue for a thousand or ten thousand years, but what about the next thousand or ten thousand years?"

"If one day, we lose the Emperor. In my opinion, even if we have a long history, what valuable experience and spirit can it leave us to support us in this godless era?"

“Lin Ye, everyone in Liyue Harbor now supports the Emperor, and everyone hopes to gain his favor so that they can become rich and famous overnight. If this continues, Liyue Harbor will become very dangerous! Liyue Harbor needs a hero, our own hero!”

There is no doubt that what Keqing said was seriously blasphemous and she would be accused of it, but Keqing had said similar things before at the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, questioning the Emperor.

The Emperor smiled but said nothing. He did not punish Keqing and continued to let her hold the position of Yuheng Star.

Lin Ye was not surprised after hearing Keqing's words. This was Keqing's personality. He mentioned that the Emperor could ensure that the world would be worry-free for eternity not by accident but on purpose.

Lin Ye wanted to provoke Keqing into telling the truth.

Seeing that Keqing had made things clear, Ningguang stopped hiding her thoughts and told Lin Ye.

It’s similar to what Keqing said. The general meaning is that Ningguang hopes Lin Ye can stand up and become a hero who inspires the masses.

Come on, become the idol that everyone loves.

Ningguang extended an olive branch to Lin Ye.

Lin Ye fell into deep thought.

If Lin Ye agreed to Ningguang's request, there would be no doubt that he would become a public figure and be made the most famous person in Liyue by Ningguang.

Therefore, Lin Ye decisively refused.

"Lord Ningguang, I don't really like jobs that put me in the spotlight. I defeated Quan Tai not for fame or fortune, but out of a sense of responsibility and personal vengeance."

"Ye Lan Hu Tao was also with me at the time, why didn't you look for them?"

Lin Ye looked towards Ye Lan.

Seeing that the topic shifted to herself, Ye Lan asked Lin Ye in return.

"Do you think that the nature of my job is suitable for this kind of thing? You don't like to be in the spotlight, do you think I do?"

"Where's Hu Tao? Where's Chong Yun?"

"I asked before you, and they all rejected me, just like you." Ye Lan replied, "Oh, by the way, Shen He hasn't asked yet, and he doesn't need to ask. Am I right?"

"Yeah." Lin Ye nodded in agreement.

"Master Lin Ye, I have reasons for looking for you. First, you are the greatest contributor. Lord Ye Lan told Master Hu that you defeated Quan Tai, so you have made the greatest contribution. Second, you are a partner of justice, so you already have a foundation."

"But I'm really not suitable. I have to go to Mondstadt in a few days." Lin Ye refused strongly.

"Besides, if we do this, the Emperor will be unhappy, right?" Lin Ye asked tentatively.

Ningguang laughed.

"Rather than saying that the Emperor is unhappy, it is better to say that He supports the implementation of this matter. He has informed everyone in the Seven Stars of Liyue through their dreams."

"What?" Lin Ye was surprised.

You are so bad, Zhongli. It must be because I didn’t respond to you directly last time. You should make a note of it.

Do you really want to retire? If you can live a long time, can't you delay retirement?

Seeing that Lin Ye was determined, Ningguang did not force him, but instead gave a compromising suggestion.

"What suggestions?"

“It is not Master Lin Ye who needs to come forward, but the partners of justice who need to come forward.”

"Forehead……"

Lin Ye was familiar with this matter. As for the substitute, it turned out that he was also a substitute user.

"Won't it be exposed?"

"Don't worry about this. We have a way to deal with it." Ningguang said.

“Lin Ye, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I don’t want to miss it,” Keqing said to Lin Ye seriously, “Please, I will definitely compensate you later, anything is fine!”

Hearing this, Lin Ye looked at Keqing, an evil thought came to his mind, and he asked playfully, "Anything is fine?"

Keqing felt an inexplicable chill in her heart. She saw that Lin Ye was a decent person, not a hypocrite. How could someone recognized by the Emperor be a bad person? So she forced herself to dispel the uneasiness in her heart and nodded, "Of course!"

At this time, Ningguang also made a promise.

"Master Linye, whether you agree or not, you now have Class B authority and can read Class B and lower secrets. When necessary, you can mobilize the Thousand Rock Army to help. I think these will be helpful to Master Linye in your future efforts to protect Liyue."

"The rest of the Mora rewards will be delivered to the Lin Mansion in a few days. The same goes for the Chong Family and the Wangsheng Hall. Unfortunately, it's hard to find the Demon-Subduing Great Sage."

"You guys are so generous." Ye Lan said from the side.

Ye Lan saw Lin Ye was confused and explained to him.

A, B, C, and D, in order, only a few people including the Liyue Seven Stars and Ye Lan have Class A authority. Class B is the highest authority that non-official personnel can obtain.

Lin Ye thought about it and decided to agree.

He was not coveting the Class B authority, he just wanted Keqing to treat him to a meal. She would definitely order the golden shrimp balls, and then Lin Ye would demand that the entire plate of the golden shrimp balls be his. In front of Keqing, he would chew them slowly and eat all of her golden shrimp balls!

At this moment, Maomao said disappointedly, "My golden shrimp balls..."

The scene at that time must have been extremely pleasant, ahem.

Ningguang smiled again after hearing Lin Ye's agreement. She had many plans and ideas going through her mind.

After talking about the matter, Ningguang and Linye exchanged a few polite words and left.

On Yujing Terrace, Ye Lan bids farewell to Lin Ye.

Lin Ye was curious about what Ye Lan was doing. Ye Lan said she was going to meet someone. In fact, after hearing about Lin Ye's deeds, she especially wanted to meet him.

Lin Ye asked who it was?

Ye Lan smiled.

Have you ever heard of the Dragon King?

Lin Ye hesitated.

The Dragon King you are talking about, is that the Dragon King I know?

Chapter 161 Meeting with Beidou

[Dragon King], an extremely domineering title.

However, having experienced the era of playing with memes in his previous life, Lin Ye had already ruined the word "Dragon King" in his heart.

For example, if we add a verb "crooked mouth" in front of "dragon king", it becomes "crooked mouth dragon king", and the DNA has moved.

Or, [Dragon King] is so cute~~

A qualified penguin group must have a lively dragon king!

The "Dragon King" that Ye Lan mentioned is certainly not the "Dragon King" that Lin Ye understands.

In fact, Ye Lan saw Lin Ye's surprise and thought that he didn't know, and was a little surprised. "With your intelligence ability, I thought you had heard of the captain's name."

"Oh, I know who you are talking about, the captain of the Southern Cross, Beidou. I suddenly remembered that her title is the Uncrowned Dragon King."

Ye Lan raised an eyebrow, "Since you know the title of Captain Beidou, you must have heard of her deeds."

"I know a little bit," Lin Ye nodded, "Before he possessed the Eye of God, he was able to kill the Underworld Sea Beast [Haishan]. I heard this from the idle workers at the dock."

"In fact, she had to challenge many times before she succeeded, and she obtained the Eye of God afterwards."

"By the way, why did you go to Beidou's place when you had nothing to do?"
