The treasure thieves of Teyvat rob Shenhe

Lin Ye would not refuse in a noble manner. His second-in-command's private money had long been exhausted, and Lin Ye usually spent his expenses with the Mora he earned himself.

Of course, when money was not enough, he would not be shy. The two times he spent the most were when he ordered custom dolls from Sucrose, and he used his family's credit card to pay for both.

After all, each doll costs tens of millions of Mora, which Lin Ye really cannot afford.

Now Lin Ye’s main income depends on Ningguang’s earnings.

In the future, Lin Ye will consider taking on some commissions from the Adventurer's Association. If you have the skills, the rewards you can earn from that are very considerable.

Ding——Five million Mora have arrived.

Lin Ye said goodbye and left with satisfaction. Ningguang watched the boy leave, then she turned her head to look at the information wall.

In less than half a month, it was the Ceremony of Summoning the Immortals. For any businessman, this was of greater significance than any other festival.

As one of the Seven Stars, Ningguang vaguely felt that the Emperor was beginning to delegate power. This was an intuition.

Ningguang manages the Partners of Justice in the hope that the people of Liyue will not always focus on the gods, but look more at us mortals.

……

On the way home, raindrops dripped on Lin Ye's nose. Lin Ye raised his head, stretched out his hand, and it was raining.

The sky is clear and there is light rain during the day.

[Garden of Clouds and Thunder] This talent allows Lin Ye to create clouds and rain to a certain extent. His perception of weather changes is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and he can sense that it will rain when he goes out.

Looking at it now, it turns out to be true.

Lin Ye looked at the passers-by who were running to avoid the rain, feeling somewhat proud, and held out an umbrella.

"You have completed your duty. Now, go and rest."

At a fork in the road, Lin Ye heard a vendor nearby say this to his subordinates.

He didn't care at first, but the next moment, Lin Ye suddenly realized something and turned his head to look.

In addition to the businessman who was praising his subordinates, in the corner of his vision, on the other side of the intersection, a young man was standing, watching everything silently with a thoughtful expression.

People were coming and going, all trying to hide from the rain, but he remained unmoved.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Lin Ye felt the weight of history and the heaviness of responsibility from this man who always appeared to be at ease and composed.

He is the starting point of Liyue’s history and will definitely be the end point in the future.

He, He is the god that the people of Liyue are proud of - the Rock Emperor, Morax.

At this moment, He noticed Lin Ye's gaze, and the two looked at each other through the drizzle.

Lin Ye saw Him smile with relief, as if a troubling puzzle had been solved.

This scene happened on an ordinary day in Liyue Harbor.

……

Chapter 446 Zhongli: Let’s say I died

Lin Ye and Zhong Li strolled in the harbor.

"You seemed surprised to see me just now?"

Zhongli's voice is gentle and steady, and his words always bring peace of mind to people.

"I was just surprised by what the vendor next to me said, 'You've done your job, good, go down and rest'."

"It's just ordinary words of encouragement, what's so surprising?" Zhongli asked.

Lin Ye paused and spoke.

"I was thinking, isn't this just talking about the Emperor? Mr. Zhongli, do you think the Emperor has fulfilled his duties?"

Upon hearing this, Zhongli was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, which was rarely seen in him.

"Just this sentence, we should be close friends."

"..."

Zhongli's gaze was fixed on the people coming and going and on the tall buildings in the distance. What came to his ears was the rustling sound of drizzle and the laughter and scolding of the people of Liyue.

“The duties of a god cannot be given up so easily. It cannot be completed cleanly and neatly with a handover ceremony.” Zhongli said.

"Mr. Zhongli is right." Lin Ye agreed.

However, since Zhongli said the word "let go", it can be seen that he really wanted to retire.

"rustle--"

Zhongli stretched out his hand, feeling the cool and itchy feeling on Yu's palm, and suggested.

"The rain is getting heavier, let's find a place to take shelter. By the way, have you eaten?"

"not yet."

"Ah."

Three bowls and you won’t be able to finish your job.

Lin Ye and Zhong Li sat opposite each other. They each ordered two bowls of side dishes and a pot of fine osmanthus wine. They said they were eating, but in fact they were drinking.

"First of all, I want to congratulate you. You have gained what you wanted during this trip to the Abyss." Zhongli raised his glass.

Lin Ye clinked glasses with him, drank the wine in one gulp, and then calmly told Zhongli about his experience.

This is an unwritten tacit understanding.

From the very beginning when facing the resurrected Quan Tai, Lin Ye would always talk to Zhongli every time he went through a test.

It can be said that although Zhongli had never accompanied Lin Ye on adventures together, he witnessed Lin Ye's rise from an insignificant person in the wilderness to a hero who was comparable to immortals and defeated demons many times.

"Five hundred years ago, Guyun Pavilion and the huge abyss were equally restless. Because of my proximity, I was temporarily unable to escape from the riot in Guyun Pavilion. Later, I went to Kanriya, and when I returned, the dust had settled." Zhongli said.

"Guyun Pavilion riot?"

"Yes, the Lonely Cloud Pavilion in the Sea of Clouds suppresses many demons, with the Whirlpool Demon Osel being the most outstanding. When the Dark Disaster broke out, they were also affected."

"I see."

In fact, as a freeloader, Lin Ye also learned about Zhongli's difficulties from Jun Mo.

Morax was a benevolent king. He had no intention of competing for supremacy and felt pity for the suffering of the people.

Hundreds of thousands of lives were lost in the Abyss. How could Morax ignore it at that time? It can only be said that he was restrained by other things.

But it also proves one thing, that even the gods felt the thorny crisis, and mortals and immortals worked together to overcome the difficulties.

After hearing about Lin Ye's experience, Zhongli became more convinced of this truth, and the balance in his heart began to tilt towards the other side.

This time, Zhong went straight to the point and asked with an attitude of seeking advice.

"Lin Ye, do you think Liyue is ready for the new era? That is the era without gods."

Has it finally come to this? Lin Ye thought.

Lin Ye looked directly into Zhongli Qi's thoughtful gaze. He pondered for a moment and said firmly.

"An exam."

"take an exam?"

"Since you are worried, why not leave the problem to the people of Liyue?"

“If our king is no longer in Liyue due to some reasons, how will Liyue react? And if Liyue happens to encounter danger, can Liyue rely on itself to overcome the difficulties?”

"It's a brilliant idea." Zhongli exclaimed.

"Mr. Zhongli will figure this out sooner or later. It's just that the authorities are confused."

"This also shows that you see things more clearly than I do."

"Maybe I have nothing to worry about?"

Zhongli smiled but said nothing.

The responsibilities that Lin Ye has to bear are more important than governing in the mortal world. There are no clues at the moment, and there are not many things to consider. However, the decision made by the head of a country affects the fate of the people of the country.

But what about the future? The decision Lin Ye makes will require great perseverance and awareness, so that he can shoulder the "fate of the starry sky" of all living beings.

"Lin Ye, you have a connection with immortals, and you are also on good terms with mortal officials. Do you know the conflicts between mortals and immortals?" Zhongli asked again.

Lin Ye nodded and gave an example, which was naturally his mother-in-law, Master Liuyunjiefeng.

Every time Liu Yun went to look for Mu Xiaojin, he traveled thousands of miles from Ao Zang Mountain to Liyue Harbor. The energy consumed was so great that even an immortal could not bear it after such a long and frequent trip.

But Liu Yun never gets tired of it, so does she really not care?

of course not.

Liuyun is different from Lishui and Xueyue. She stays at home and doesn't like to go out, especially when there is no one with whom she can discuss mechanical arts.

In this case, Liu Yun was willing to go out only because he and Mu Xiaojin could chat, but being willing does not mean hoping for it in some ways.

Mu Xiaojin settled down in Ao Zang Mountain. Liu Yun was very happy and would even help with the move.

Then why didn’t Liu Yun settle in Liyue Harbor?

...Needless to say, I can’t adapt to the human life in Liyue Harbor.

This is what Liu Yun, who is "introverted, socially phobic and not good at speaking," said.

Even Lishui and Xueyue, who like to hang out together, don't like to go to Liyue Harbor.

Lin Ye attributed the reason to the discomfort in his heart, just like a child who used to be hungry and needed to be fed, but unknowingly no longer needed him and was striving for independence. Some immortals could not adapt to this change. They were immortals, the ones who were sought after, although now there are still many people seeking immortality and asking for the way.

But in terms of the governance of Liyue, the seven stars like Ningguang, Keqing and others have a unified understanding of relying on human rule, and of course, they still follow the orders of the Emperor.

Some immortals were disheartened by this, some were dismissive of it, some examined it, and some were pleased to witness it... In short, as Zhongli consciously delegated power, the immortals who were 100% on the side of the Emperor believed that the people of Liyue were arrogant.

As for the people in power in Liyue, they never questioned the Emperor's considerations.

The Rock God can and is a qualified ruler.

But as for the immortals... do you think Liu Yunlishui and others are suitable to be rulers?

The immortals' innate abilities mean that they are sometimes unable to understand the desires of the people of Liyue.

After Lin Ye expressed his understanding, he added jokingly.

"We are not of the same species. We can only seek common ground while reserving differences."

“Seeking common ground while reserving differences… is a good phrase to use.”

"I have gained a lot from talking with you." Zhongli smiled, and his originally slightly stern brow relaxed.

Lin Ye disagreed.

To some extent, he had foreseen the future, and this conversation was told to Zhongli before he could figure out the answer himself.

Zhongli has lived for so many years that he has a vague answer in his mind, and asking Lin Ye is just like flipping a coin.

The choice has been made before it is thrown out.

“The next step is to come up with the test questions for this exam.” Zhongli pondered what Lin Ye said, ‘The Emperor is no longer in Liyue for some reason’…

Not in Liyue anymore...

Let's say I died.

Be straightforward and do it once and for all.

Chapter 447 The one who succeeded in the conspiracy is grinning.

Lin Ye said goodbye to Zhongli and returned home.

Zhenjun Liuyunjiefeng and Mu Xiaojin were still tinkering with the Yunjin. From time to time, they could hear the sound of gears turning, or a "hum↑——" sound like something awakening.

Shen He and Solola are back.

Lin Ye was saddened to discover that the devil Walnut had succeeded after all, and Solola had agreed to accompany Walnut on night patrols when he had time.

Hu Tao's way of making friends: staying up late with me and having fun on the street (

Solola only knew Lin Ye and Shen He in Liyue Harbor, and the friendships between Lin Ye and Shen He overlapped to a large extent. Even if Lin Ye didn't introduce Solola to Hu Tao, there was still Shen He.

There is no escape.
