"What? He wants to come to Jueyunjian? That's great, let's discuss the marriage. No need for betrothal gifts, but the dowry is enough! I'll also give you a cave house in Jueyunjian as a wedding room!"

Zhenjun Liuyun suddenly became excited, and she had always wanted to see the contemporary Xie family's great holy body.

"Master! I haven't thought about it yet, and this is too fast."

"Alright, alright, I was just teasing you. I won't be so careless when it comes to your marriage. Even if he doesn't come, I will go and check him out."

Master Liuyun was not actually that anxious. He just wanted Ganyu to face her own heart. If they really wanted to talk about marriage, they would naturally have to go through the complete process of a formal marriage, and ask all the immortals to help with the investigation. He could even swallow his pride and ask the Emperor.

Uh, but Ganyu is here, so it’s not very convenient for her to move around.

Master Liuyun flapped his wings twice and said, "Master still needs to study mechanical engineering. If you have nothing else to do, go back first. Don't worry, Master promised you that he would not say anything nonsense today."

"Okay." Gan Yu hummed dully. She was still thinking about her relationship with Xie Yan. Since her master had sworn to the Emperor, there should be no problem.

"You are a child who always likes to let your imagination run wild. Love is something that exists or not. So what does it matter if it happens quickly or slowly? As long as you really like each other and want to stay together forever, that's all. Just follow your heart."

“Follow your heart...”

Gan Yu nodded as if she had understood something: "Thank you, Master."

After saying this, she walked out of the cave. Zhenjun Liuyun also breathed a sigh of relief. She was thinking about how to share the news with her old friends.

But the next second Ganyu suddenly turned around, which frightened her so much that her hair stood on end: "What happened again?"

"I was just thinking, Master, you clearly have no experience in relationships, but you speak so convincingly, isn't this just blind guessing?"

"..."

True Lord Liuyun's face flushed, veins popping out on his forehead, as he argued, "It's common for us immortals to comprehend the Way of Heaven and open up blessed lands. We can also make accurate predictions. How difficult is it to understand the love between men and women? Can we guess at the affairs of immortals?"

What followed was a burst of obscure immortal terms, which made Ganyu a little confused, so she had to walk out of this cave full of joyful atmosphere.

True Lord Liuyun silently watched her leave, but not long after, there was another noise outside the cave, and an unexpected white-haired figure slowly walked towards them.

"Shen He?"

"The person just now was... Senior Sister?"

"Well, Shen He, let me tell you, uh, no, I promised you that I can't tell you today, I'll tell you tomorrow."

.....

On the other side, Liyue Harbor.

After leaving Yujing Terrace, Xie Yan walked down the stairs and once again admired this city full of the charm of his hometown.

Although he encountered the crisis of the demon god breaking the seal and there were external enemies lurking, he found along the way that Liyue Harbor was not greatly affected. There was no panic on the faces of the residents, and the teahouses and shops on the street were still doing a booming business.

In comparison, even though Inazuma is developing rapidly, it is still far behind Liyue. This is the foundation accumulated by Liyue over thousands of years.

"Zhongli's decision to let go was indeed a careful consideration. Although Liyue still needs the protection of the gods in secret, its people already have the ability to explore their own path independently. This alone is far superior to other countries." Xie Yan thought.

This is very obvious. Compared to Liyue, none of Inazuma, Xumi, and Mondstadt are normal. The conflicts are so sharp that they cannot be concealed.

But this also reflects the particularity of the theocratic worldview. Even if a country becomes as rotten as the last dynasty of Inazuma, as long as the gods are willing to take charge, it can still be revived. The will of gods can ignore all contradictions and restore order. After all, the country can only exist because of gods.

The people of Liyue were obviously well aware of this. When Xie Yan walked to Tian Tiezui's storytelling stall in the old city, he heard a lot of discussions.

"The Kingdom of Winter is making such a fuss, could it be that they want to go to war with us? What on earth are the Seven Stars doing?!"

"That's wrong. The suspension of Mora's production affects the currency and alchemy system of the entire continent. The Seven Stars can't kick out Zhidong. Besides, we are still fighting at home when holding a meeting in Liyue."

"What's the point of being at home? To put it bluntly, the reason why Zhidong dared to provoke us like this is because the Emperor's soul has returned to heaven. The most urgent task is to select a new Rock God, otherwise we will lack the confidence to negotiate."

"It's not that simple. Even if we choose a new Rock God from the immortals, it will be hard to convince the public. But if we can get His Highness Xie Yan to return to Liyue, we will have some hope."

"That's right. I heard that Xumi and Inazuma are both well managed. Moreover, His Highness Xie Yan has achieved great success in his holy body. I'm afraid he is not much inferior to the Emperor."

"How is that possible! Haven't you heard of storytelling? I'd rather fight the Xie family's holy body than ever see Morax again. The Emperor is not comparable to an ordinary demon god."

At this point, the audience stopped discussing politics and instead started chattering about the demon god's combat power, leaving Tian Tiezui, who was about to start speaking on the stage, speechless.

Snapped!

He slammed the gavel, and then talked about the newly adapted version of the Snow Mountain God War.

"Last time I talked about the flying black snow and howling winds. Usa was ferocious and terrifying. The demon wolf was once the king of Mondstadt. Even the Tengu warriors were powerless against the two."

"But His Highness Xie Yan doesn't have only one method? He immediately used the celestial phenomena to show the Qilin's true form, with the golden crows dancing wildly and the sun descending. The Qilin's divine claws killed him with one move."

"The Abyss Cult was horrified and hastily used traps to try to turn the tide of the battle, but His Highness Xie Yan remained calm and unafraid, shouting: Who said there is no emperor in Liyue? The Xie family's holy body will fight the Abyss!"

There was another loud clapping of the hands, and the audience below cheered.

Xie Yan opened his mouth but still didn't say much. He estimated that the next time he might hear himself turning his back on everyone.

"Listen to it a few more times and you will get used to it sooner or later." A familiar and generous voice came to my ears. It was Zhongli.

Xie Yan sat down opposite him, and saw that the old man still had a deep gaze and was calm, but at this time, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Having been "Emperor's Little Blackie" for so long, he could best understand Xie Yan's speechlessness at this moment. Seeing the younger generation facing the same embarrassment, he once again felt the joy of leisurely travel.

Xie Yan seemed to be thinking about something. When Zhongli chose to bid farewell to his long-lost body and personally said goodbye to the past, he tried to integrate into Liyue as a human.

This is also a novel experience for Zhongli. After working hard for Liyue for thousands of years, he has opened a new chapter.

While Xie Yan was deep in thought, Zhongli poured him a cup of tea: "Did things go smoothly?"

"Thank you, Emperor, for your help. It has been resolved successfully."

While speaking, Xie Yan sent the previously prepared work report to Zhongli through telekinesis, and at the same time created a small barrier to prevent others from hearing their conversation.

The old man was slightly stunned, and then he carefully read through the incident and sighed with a complicated expression: "Although I had expected it, I didn't expect it to be so cruel. Fortunately, the descendants of the Xie family can now rest in peace."

Although he is called the God of War, Zhongli sometimes feels powerless. The descendants of the Xie family bear a heavy fate, and so does the Yaksha. The recent commotion at the Nantianmen undoubtedly reminds him of his best friend.

Liyue’s prosperity was not created by him alone; there were too many sacrifices involved.

Xie Yan did not speak, quietly waiting for Zhongli to calm down. He knew that the old man had a deep friendship with the ancestors of the Xie family.

After a long time, Zhongli poured him another cup of tea.

"Now that this matter has been resolved, you can rest assured. Congratulations on reaching this realm."

"It was just luck. There are still many things I don't understand about power."

Zhongli smiled calmly: "You are already very good. I was a little surprised at your use of mental power before, but looking at your current state... Well, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me, but it's best not to ask in the Hall of Rebirth. Hu Tao is not easy to deal with."

He has always cared about Xie Yan, his junior. Even though Xie Yan is now in charge of Inazuma and Xumi, in his opinion, their relationship will remain unchanged.

Xie Yan naturally hurried to thank him. With the old man's vision, just a few words of advice would benefit him a lot.

Just saying this, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed: "Mr. Zhongli, the thing you asked me to do last time, uh..."

"Don't blame yourself. I'm not trying to restrict you. Besides, adjusting the relationship between humans and immortals is not a one-day job. They are only cooperating with each other because of the crisis. It's still far from the relationship I want."

"Is that so... I'll try my best."

"I roughly know the purpose of your trip. You can indeed meet the immortals these days. They have always missed you." Zhongli's eyes flashed with some memories, and suddenly changed the subject, "You have been to the four countries. What do you think of Liyue now? Just say it. You are now equal to me in status, and I also want to hear the new god's opinion."

Xie Yan was not afraid. He had formed his own ideas about governing the country. He said, "As for my opinion, I am only concerned about the rule of man. Your Majesty, you want to let the people of Liyue decide the direction of their own development, while you are protecting them in secret. But if there is no management by the gods, big problems will arise sooner or later. This is the case with Mondstadt, Inazuma, and Xumi."

"That's true, so Liyue still needs a Geogod."

"Ah? Emperor, what are you doing..."

I guess, the old man is trying to tell me that the organization has decided to let me be the Rock God?

But it was just a false alarm. Zhongli said calmly, "I chose to let go appropriately because I would become an obstacle to the future development of Liyue, but the new Geo God would not. As for who will take the position, there is no rush. Liyue can still be stable for now."

The old man, who is over 6,000 years old, knows the situation in Teyvat better than anyone else. It is nonsense to say that it is completely separated from the gods. How can the people develop without even the safety of the people? Moreover, if there is no restraint from the gods, the country will easily follow the path of Kanria.

"It seems that traveling to several countries has made you mature a lot and you can see the essence of the problem now."

"Well, it's okay. The other thing is Ganyu's matter. Although it is necessary for the immortals to supervise government affairs, Ganyu's workload is too much. Once she is gone, Yuehai Pavilion's work will be suspended. Isn't this the same as before, Emperor?"

Today I saw Ganyu’s wife again. Ahem, Ganyu’s sister works so hard, Xie Yan feels really distressed. Moreover, according to the Emperor’s philosophy, Ganyu’s situation has hindered the growth of other secretaries and the development of human rule.

Zhongli thought for a moment and nodded, "That's true, but my original intention was not to ask her to work overtime. Liyue was not so prosperous at that time. Ganyu's work increased with the development of Liyue, and this child has always used work to maintain herself and never refused work arrangements."

"What does the Emperor mean?"

"As you said, Liyue has entered human rule, and Ganyu's contract should end with the death of the Geo King. But I want to see what this child thinks first. If I rashly ask her to give up the contract, it may make her more confused."

Xie Yan told him that Ganyu would be traveling with him in the next few days. Zhongli nodded slightly and said, "Then bring her to Wangsheng Hall to find me tomorrow. I will go to Nantianmen tomorrow. You should accompany me. Ganyu and the ancestors of the Xie family are also old friends of my best friend."

Are you going to beat up Brother Tuozi?

Xie Yan nodded thoughtfully. With the Emperor around, he had no need to worry about anything going wrong.

The two chatted for a few more minutes and then left.

Zhongli touched his chin and said, "Ganyu has changed a lot recently. Is it because of Xie Yan? A mother knows a daughter best. Why not ask Liuyun?"

I'm going to Nantianmen, so I'll stop by Jueyunjian on the way.

.....

Xie Yan was not a person who liked shopping, so after chatting with the Emperor, he returned to the Liyue Embassy as if he was familiar with the place.

It was already evening and people had returned one after another. Since they had communicated with each other using the void terminal before, and Ningguang had just promoted Xie Yan's arrival in the city, no one was too surprised. After greeting each other, they went about their business.

Ganyu’s arrival was a little unexpected for Xie Yan.

"Sister Ganyu, why are you here?"

Xie Yan had finished dinner and returned to his room to take a shower. Unexpectedly, Gan Yu actually ran to the embassy at night, which reminded Xie Yan of the rather ambiguous night-time power transmission last time.

"Ningguang said that my job these days is to accompany you, so I came here." Ganyu's cheeks blushed slightly.

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows: "Ningguang?"

He didn't expect Ningguang to be so cooperative. He thought she would continue to exploit Ganyu for another day. Never mind, this is fine.

Xie Yan decided not to bother about her smoking traditional cigarettes in front of a reformist like him for the time being.

Suppress the smoke top true, identify as sooner or later smoke meat smoke.

Gan Yu was a little afraid to look Xie Yan in the eye. After being fooled by her master, she didn't know what kind of feelings she had for Xie Yan.

It's really strange. You said before that you should have a bottom line, but now...

No, what the master said makes sense. When it comes to one’s own happiness, it seems that it is not impossible to lower the bottom line appropriately.

Xie Yan's attention was attracted by the shy Ganyu. In the past, Ganyu always gave people the temperament of a fairy from heaven, but now she seemed very approachable... After all, it seemed that the fairy was pulled down to the mortal world by him.

Coconut sheep are forever and will be passed down forever.

No, that's not right! Do you really want to stab my sister?

Xie Yan quickly shook his head and said seriously, "I'm going to take a shower!"

Take a shower and calm down first!

Ganyu tilted her head slightly: "Okay."

She had seen Xie Yan holding clothes before, and knew that he really wanted to take a shower, so she considerately made way for him.

But she did not leave the room. She just sat beside his bed. Through the screen, she could vaguely see Xie Yan taking a bath.

Gan Yu realized something was wrong. How could a sister watch her brother take a bath? But when she wanted to get up and leave, she was inexplicably stuck.

Just as she was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

Along with it came a cold female voice: "Are you there? I'm Yu."

"He's taking a shower." Ganyu answered subconsciously.

73 You Ganyu Shura Field, Ganyu only hatches Qilin eggs!

Yu also arrived in Liyue not long ago.

After Xie Yan left, her vacation was almost over. She was supposed to continue leading the guerrilla team to maintain the stability of Mondstadt, but it happened that Liyue invited Klee to blast the Layered Chasm. After some discussion, the Knights decided to send You and Klee together.

After all, this operation is against the remnants of the abyss power such as black mud, and has some diplomatic nature. Only members of noble birth such as Yu, Kaia, and Qin are more suitable.

You didn't care much about this. After Qin had some free time from work, she had a lot of time to discipline Klee. The little girl was much more obedient than before. Otherwise, she would have definitely pushed this operation to Kaeya, but as time passed, You felt that she had been deceived.

The black mud in the Layered Chasm Mine is extremely troublesome. Although Klee blew up the boulders, it will take a long time for the Thousand Winds Army to deal with the black mud, and the situation in Liyue is tense now.

In this situation, You himself doesn’t know how long he will stay in Liyue. When Xie Yan returns to Mondstadt, won’t Qin’s family be the only one in power?

Damn it, even with my interference, I couldn’t stop the blonde female knight from being trained and having Xie Yan practice the Big Ball Rasengan. If I weren’t here, I couldn’t even imagine what Qin would do.

After all, not every female knight can be as strong-willed as Yingmei!

Someone like Qin, who went limp and gasped after being slapped by Xie Yan, has backbone? Humph, she's more like having bones and flesh!
