I'm not feeling right when I transform into Keqing

Although I have heard that Ganyu always works overtime, it is impossible for her to work overtime until four o'clock and not come out.

This isn't overtime, it's basically working all night.

Keqing arrived at Yujing Terrace at 11 o'clock in the evening and has been standing here for five hours.

If she had not passed through Mondstadt and her strength and physical fitness had not improved significantly, her legs would be shaking and her eyes would be dizzy now.

But even if my body can still hold on, standing here now is not a solution.

After thinking for a moment, Keqing decided to go directly to Yuehai Pavilion to find Ganyu.

No guidance was needed when entering the Yuehai Pavilion. As one of the Seven Stars, Keqing had been here countless times.

I walked up a flight of stairs to the third floor, and then along the corridor I soon arrived at an ordinary door.

"Dong dong!"

Keqing knocked on the door.

But no one answered.

Taking a step back and looking at the wooden plaque with Ganyu's name carved on the door lintel, Keqing was surprised. It seemed that she had come to the right place.

Then she tried the doorknob and found it was not locked.

With just a gentle push, the door opened.

Then Keqing saw a blue-haired girl sleeping soundly with her head tilted among a pile of documents.

"So he fell asleep."

After being surprised, Keqing was faced with the decision of whether to wake her up.

"It's almost dawn. There will be more people around when it's day. If someone with ulterior motives sees us, something might happen."

Thinking of this, Keqing no longer hesitated. Regardless of whether Ganyu liked it or not, she had to put the overall situation first.

Walking in front of Ganyu, Keqing reached out and patted her head.

The blue fluffy hair felt like cotton to the touch, which surprised Keqing.

But Ganyu did not wake up because of her patting. Instead, she moved her mouth and began to talk in her sleep: "So much... peace... of mind."

Obviously, Keqing's force just now was too light.

Failing to wake Ganyu up immediately, Keqing had to try harder and pat Ganyu's head again.

But this time she took a picture of Ganyu's corner.

"Huh? It's actually soft?"

How come there are soft corners?

Did I touch it wrong?

Keqing was slightly stunned, and then wanted to reach out and touch it again.

But by then Ganyu had already woken up. She opened her eyes and saw Keqing. She called out in a hazy voice, "My Lord?"

Keqing was puzzled: "Fresh mushrooms?"

I probably thought I was eating in a dream.

"Are you awake?" Keqing asked, with a hint of wind in her voice.

As a breeze blew on Ganyu's face, Ganyu rubbed her eyes and gradually woke up.

"Hey, this is Yue... Haiting?"

“That means.” Ganyu looked at Keqing, her eyes full of confusion: “You…you are Keqing?”

It seems that Ganyu slept very soundly this time. Not only was she so confused that she didn't recognize Yue Haiting, she even didn't recognize Keqing.

Keqing shook her head and looked at Ganyu: "I'm sorry to disturb your rest, but this is indeed Yuehai Pavilion, and I am Keqing."

"And I came to see you because I have something important to tell you."

Gan Yu looked puzzled: "Important business?"

Nodding slightly, Keqing took out a piece of luxurious silk.

"The Emperor has issued an order. Upon hearing that something has happened in Monde, and because he is worried that something may happen to Qingce and Jueyun, he has ordered Ganyu, the Seven Stars' secretary, to temporarily put aside the affairs of Yuehai Pavilion and go to Wangshu Inn to coordinate and supervise Qingce and Jueyun to ensure the safety of Liyue."

Chapter 75. Grandma Ping

After Keqing read the imperial edict solemnly, Ganyu stood there for half a second, then blurted out, "Ah? There are changes?"

"But... the one who was killed by Qing Ce... wasn't he..."

Why are they fresh mushrooms again? Keqing was puzzled: "What fresh mushrooms?"

"It's nothing, I'm just a little hungry and confused." Ganyu immediately lowered her head and took the edict handed over by Keqing.

"Gan Yu obeys the Emperor's orders."

Then Ganyu put it into her arms without even looking at it, as if she had no doubt at all.

This also made Keqing forget about the remarks she had prepared in advance.

"Um...Is there anything else Keqing wants to say?" Ganyu asked when she saw Keqing standing there motionless, looking a little nervous.

This look is very strange, but Keqing thinks Ganyu might be like this because she touched her horn.

So I didn't doubt it too much.

“Nothing else…” Keqing shook her head and then asked, “Then when will you…”

"Can we go after dawn?" Gan Yu said softly.

"Okay. Well, I mean, the Emperor should think so too," Keqing said.

"Okay then, please rest assured, Your Majesty, Ganyu will definitely abide by the contract." Ganyu said with a firm face.

She opened her mouth and thought for a long time. Finally, Keqing nodded and said only one word, "OK".

Then, Keqing left Yuehai Pavilion with doubts.

It was so smooth, and the process was a bit weird, that Keqing felt like she was dreaming.

Although Ganyu looks a little confused sometimes, she has been able to sit in the position of Seven-Star Secretary for thousands of years without making any major mistakes.

Her ability and wisdom are beyond doubt.

But even such a shrewd and capable half-immortal did not doubt Keqing's false imperial edict.

It's a bit weird.

And when Keqing returned to the Jade Pavilion and told Ningguang about this.

Ningguang simply asked, "Has she left Liyue Harbor now?"

Keqing looked at the wall clock. It was already ten o'clock in the morning. Ganyu had a very accurate grasp of time.

"If nothing unexpected happened, she should be at Wangshu Inn now," Keqing said.

Ningguang nodded slightly, then called her follower Baiwen and asked him to find out if there was any news about Ganyu in Wangshu Inn.

“Since she has left Liyue Harbor, the plan has been completed anyway,” Ningguang said. “As long as Ganyu is not here, the ancient clans or the other seven stars will lose their reason and banner to oppose us. They will only become a mob and will not pose a threat to us.”

Ganyu is the immortal closest to the Emperor and also the immortal closest to Liyue.

She occupies the "greater righteousness", and her departure greatly reduces the possibility of someone holding the banner of "greater righteousness" to hinder them.

Ningguang's choice to attack Ganyu first was indeed a wise and courageous decision.

Keqing has somewhat retracted her opinion that Ningguang is just a nouveau riche, and seems to be quite reliable at critical moments.

"However, Wangshu Inn does not have any elemental seals or magic arrays. With Ganyu's strength, it is still easy for her to return to Liyue Harbor." Keqing said with a frown.

In response, Ningguang just smiled calmly: "It seems that Aqing still doesn't believe me."

"Me? No."

“Then you should believe that Ganyu can’t see the Emperor’s Decree that I made with my own hands.” Ningguang looked at Keqing and smiled. “The Emperor’s Decree, or the Emperor’s Contract, is the most powerful and only thing that can bind this half-immortal.”

"With the imperial edict, even if a major accident happens in Liyue Harbor, Ganyu will not return before the Emperor issues a second imperial edict."

"As for her movements, I have already ordered my people at Wangshu Inn to send back information every half an hour."

After Ningguang finished speaking, Keqing sat on the chair motionless, which made Ningguang feel very satisfied.

"Do you think I did it perfectly?"

Keqing glanced sideways at Ningguang, who was sitting with her legs crossed and looking proud, and curled her lips.

"So which immortal are we going to deal with next?" Keqing looked at the screen that was brought back to the Jade Pavilion and was not far in front of them, and naturally looked at the young man with short hair and a sinister look between his eyebrows.

Ningguang also noticed Keqing's gaze.

"That guardian Yaksha is indeed the most difficult to deal with. His loyalty to the Emperor is even higher than Ganyu's. And unlike other immortals, he still carries out tasks of exterminating demons and killing ghosts all year round. His strength has also improved compared to before."

"But...the second person we have to deal with is not him."

"no?"

"It's this one." Ningguang picked up the folding fan and pointed to the far right side of the screen.

It was a portrait of an old woman with a kind and gentle face.

Keqing was slightly surprised: "This isn't..."

……

……

In a pavilion on Yujing Terrace, Keqing sat on a stone bench, looking at an ordinary old lady watering the neon flowers in the distance.

Keqing covered her forehead with her hands. She had completely forgotten that in addition to the immortal Ganyu, there was another person in Liyue Harbor.

That was Grandma Ping who looked no different from an ordinary Liyue elder not far away.

Unlike Ganyu, Keqing has almost no communication with Granny Ping, and she doesn't even know her honorific title or nickname.

Although I knew she was an immortal, when I passed by Yujingtai, I would never pay special attention to such an old woman who leisurely admired and cultivated flowers every day.

Not understanding means Keqing is difficult to handle, and Ningguang also provides very little information.

Apart from saying that this Granny Ping is very familiar with the Emperor, so the false imperial decree cannot work on her, all that is said is that this Granny Ping should be quite powerful.

But Keqing had been watching here for such a long time, but she still couldn't tell how powerful Grandma Ping was.

"Should we use force?"

"What's troubling this little kid?"

Just as Keqing was thinking, a voice suddenly came to her ears.

When she turned her head, she saw the kind-looking Grandma Ping, bending over and coming to her side.

Keqing was about to get up, but Grandma Ping held her hand down.

"No need for etiquette, just sit down. I'm just an ordinary old woman. When I see the younger generation is in trouble, I'll just mind their business and come over to chat with them."

Grandma Ping slowly sat down on the stone bench and put the shower head in her hand aside.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"No, it's nothing."

“Oh? Then I’ll leave.” Granny Ping looked at Keqing, shook her head, and sighed, “Originally, I wanted to help you keep an eye on Liuyun and Xueyue.”

"Ah!" After being surprised, Keqing stood up immediately, "You said... you want to help us?"

Grandma Ping nodded calmly: "Yes."

Keqing hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you know what we are going to do?"

Grandma Ping nodded again: "Of course."

"Then you...are not afraid of the Emperor..."

Before Keqing finished speaking, Granny Ping smiled and said, "It seems that she hasn't told you yet."

"say what?"
