Still playing traditional Genshin Impact?

Keqing looked up at their backs for a long time before she looked away and said with emotion, "Actually, the immortals are pretty easy to talk to."

Thinking of this, Keqing looked at Zhongli with regret: "Zhongli, Zhongli, do you know how big an opportunity you just missed?"

"Chance?"

"To be honest, since the restart of the cooperation with the Golden House, the Seven Stars and the Immortals have realized that although Liyue is moving towards human rule, it will eventually need a new Rock God."

Zhongli could certainly guess this, but he couldn't help but be curious about the standards that Qixing and the Immortals had for the Rock God, so he asked curiously, "Then how should the Rock God be selected?"

“Well, in our conception, the strength of the new Rock God is not the key. His main responsibility is to command and integrate the power of Liyue. Therefore, he needs to be recognized by the Seven Stars and the Immortals so that his orders can be implemented smoothly.” Keqing smiled, "You've taken the bait."

No matter how indifferent Zhongli is to fame and fortune, he still couldn't help himself when faced with the position of the God of Geo, right?

But unexpectedly, Zhongli just nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Keqing couldn't believe it, but she quickly made up her mind that she would visit the Wangsheng Hall three times to let Zhongli see her sincerity!

But now that the matter of the Fulong Tree has been resolved, she can finally return to Liyue Harbor.

Alas, when I go home I have to face pressure to get married, so annoying!

......

On the other side is the cave residence of True Lord Liuyun.

Strange peaks stood among the clouds, as if they had been cut by an axe. The layers of rocks were covered with rich green. There was also a quiet lotus pond in the middle. After Xie Yan landed, he could not help but be attracted by it and looked around at the fairy scenery around him.

Although Inazuma and Sumi each have their own characteristics, he always feels that Liyue has more charm in terms of scenery.

But when he arrived at the cave, Xie Yan couldn't help but feel a little confused. How should this immortal gathering be held?

"There is not much difference between the gathering of immortals and the mortal world. You can speak freely and Liuyun will provide the food." Xiao said in a cold tone.

If Xie Yan didn't know his character, he would have thought he was talking to himself.

He did not thank him in a strange way, but smiled at Xiao. The other party's face froze, and he turned his head and walked away a little.

There was no way. I was just pretending to have an expressionless face, but Xie Yan was the real one and I couldn't hide my thoughts from him at all.

True Lord Liuyun proudly puffed out his chest and showed off his new invention: "This is a cooking machine that I carefully crafted. I only need to put in the corresponding ingredients and it will make food according to the recipe. It really satisfies my craving... ahem, it saves me a lot of time to practice."

Xie Yan looked up at this magical product that looked like an electric rice cooker, and thought to himself that it was worthy of being called the Lord of Invention.

The other immortals and Ganyu were already used to it. If Liuyun didn't tinker with something new, she wouldn't be herself.

"Ganyu, I'll trouble you to add the ingredients. I need to talk to Xie Yan."

"Master, you..."

"A mother-in-law has to ask a few questions to her son-in-law, right? Don't worry, I won't tell you about the time you rolled down the hill when you were a kid!"

The air suddenly fell silent.

Gan Yu silently added two pieces of poultry meat to the cooking machine and said with a sweet smile: "Master, what did you say just now?"

77 Shen He: Are you my master?

The two pieces of poultry fell into the cooking machine with a plop, as if they had fallen into the heart of Master Liuyun.

Seeing Ganyu’s sweet smile, she felt a chill in her heart, as if she saw tomorrow’s headline of Liyue Harbor: Shocking, Master Liuyun Jiefeng passed away in the cave with six arrows in his back, a suicide. Investigator: Ganyu.

Nonsence!

What the hell am I riding a crane? I am the crane!

Having said that, Master Liuyun still restrained himself a lot.

She looked at her son-in-law who had taken over half of her vegetable field, sized him up and down, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, you and Ganyu look like a good match. I'll leave this child to you from now on."

Gan Yu only looks worry-free, but her actual problems are no less serious than Shen He's. Seeing that she has finally untied her knot, Master Liu Yun is indeed very pleased.

Thinking about it this way, the feeling of loss of having the cabbage taken away from you has been reduced a lot. It's probably what people say: the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him?

Yes, I also have Shen He!

Without waiting for Xie Yan to answer, she waved her bird claws and said, "Since you and Gan Yu get along well, you can decide on your own about the marriage. You don't need a betrothal gift. Just remember to notify me of the wedding. I will pick a cave for you in Aozang Mountain as Gan Yu's dowry!"

"Well, there's no need to be so anxious about this."

"You two have made up your mind, so why are you hesitating? The Qilin tribe is sparsely populated now, so we have to rely on your efforts."

True Lord Liuyun shook his head and quoted a bunch of anecdotes to express that "it is not possible to be childless", and finally added "it is not that I want to have a granddaughter".

Gan Yu's cheeks flushed when she heard this. She had just begun to think about changing their relationship. When they were together, she still unconsciously treated Xie Yan as a junior. Just imagining the scene of them hugging each other under the moon could make her heart beat faster, not to mention having a baby.

Moreover, as a sworn sister, she was contradicted by her sworn brother. How should she address Xie Yan then?

Maybe she could ask someone for advice. She remembered that Xie Yan seemed to have two sworn sisters?

No, that's not right. Although Xie Yan is a brother of three surnames, he should have only stabbed his sworn sister, right?

Ganyu is very proud of being both a wife and a sworn sister.

She would not compare herself with Nashida, but when she thought of Kujo Sara mentioned by Kuki Shinobu, Ganyu couldn't help but feel a little bit of comparison in her heart: Can Kujo Sara do it?

Besides, I can form a Rong Gan team with Xie Yan! Can you deal damage?

Qilin was on her face and she didn’t know how to lose!

But thinking of Xie Yan's other wives, especially Lei Dianying, Gan Yu couldn't help but panic. Maybe...she could find an ally? For example, Shen Zi's sister!

The Son of God is a fox fairy. Ganyu has also vaguely heard rumors from Inazuma that "the palace priest's clever plan brought peace to the world." It seems that the Son of God's rank is at least diamond level. Wouldn't it be a sure thing for him to help a bronze player like himself to rank up?

While Ganyu was in a daze, True Lord Liuyun talked to Xie Yan about Inazuma and Xumi. During the whole process, he did not talk about her childhood, which made Ganyu breathe a sigh of relief.

Just as she was thinking this, she heard her master suddenly talking about the period of the Demon War again.

"Alas, feeling the power of the Qilin today really makes me miss it. The Qilin clan had extraordinary achievements during the war between demons and gods. Your ancestor was the main force among all the immortals, second only to the Emperor. Ganyu also killed many powerful enemies." True Lord Liuyun said with emotion.

Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun nodded in agreement: "The Qilin tribe has indeed contributed a lot. I remember you, Liuyun, said that Ganyu was still young at that time and killed a giant beast. The opponent's strength was not much worse than ours."

"Oh, don't you see whose disciple Ganyu is? To be honest, this battle was really dangerous. Ganyu was swallowed up in the first encounter. Fortunately..."

"Master, it's time to eat."

Just as Master Liuyun was about to tell the story of how Ganyu got stuck in the esophagus of a giant beast and fought a battle of wits with it, Ganyu smiled and brought a bowl of tender and spicy chicken.

"It's okay, Master is not hungry yet, you put it aside first..." Master Liuyun, who was speaking excitedly, raised his paw to refuse, but his eyes suddenly caught sight of a chicken leg and his voice stopped abruptly.

She felt her crane claws become much stiffer, and she laughed awkwardly and said, "Haha, Ganyu is really considerate. She knew I was hungry and came to give me food."

As he spoke, a light flickered on Master Liuyun's body, and in an instant he turned into a blue-haired queen wearing a classical Liyue robe.

She pushed her red glasses, then picked up the chicken leg and took two bites, and gave Ganyu a reassuring look.

The two True Lords, Lishui Dieshan and Xueyue Zhuyang, also transformed into human forms.

Xie Yan looked surprised: "You all are eating in human form?"

"Why not? We immortals usually practice in our own caves. It's rare for us to get together. Wouldn't it be troublesome to make so many rules? Naturally, we can do whatever is convenient."

"Well, it seems to be quite different from the folk legend."

"It is inevitable to have some differences. Moreover, sometimes it is also the image we deliberately present to humans. Otherwise, if we were to act more friendly, who knows how many people would come to seek immortals and learn about Taoism. How would we have time to practice?"

Xie Yan suddenly understood: "No wonder I heard that there have always been humans trapped in amber in Hulao Mountain. So this is also done intentionally by the immortals?"

"You are still young, and you don't know what those people are thinking." True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang shook his head repeatedly. "At the beginning, we all gave them some help, but this only aroused human greed. Many people wanted to gain something without working for it, and even threatened to kneel in the cave for a long time or to die. If we don't punish them, the atmosphere in Liyue will only become more and more chaotic."

In fact, there are still many idle Liyue people who place their hopes on the immortals. Even the treasure-stealing group regards Jue Yunjian as their target. After all, the immortals will only punish and will not kill people, and they don’t have to worry about being captured by the Qianyan Army.

Xie Yan listened thoughtfully. No wonder the old man said before that joining forces due to the oppressive situation was only the first step. There were too many aspects that needed to be considered in coordinating the relationship between humans and immortals.

However, the immortals saw through this very clearly. The root of the problem still lies in human greed. In Xie Yan's opinion, these people treated the chance to become immortals as a lottery.

Seeing that he looked thoughtful, Xiao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "Did the Emperor assign you a task? I heard him mention you when I visited him before."

Speaking of the Emperor, even Ganyu stopped serving the dishes, and all the immortals looked at Xie Yan.

True Lord Liuyun was the first to speak up: "Xie Yan, although we know that the Emperor wants to let Liyue develop on its own, he made the decision too quickly. Is there any other arrangement? Of course, if you can't tell me, then forget it."

"Yes, it is difficult for the people of Liyue to accept Liyue without the Emperor, and the same is true for the immortals." True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang looked serious, "Could it be related to the investigation of the new Rock God?"

Xie Yan shook his head: "No, the Emperor only asked me to coordinate the relationship between humans and immortals. He probably wants to let you guys decide on the matter of the new Rock God... Wait, from what I hear, you guys are already discussing the candidate?"

"Well, the Midgard Seven have been ruling for thousands of years and it is the recognized order in Teyvat. And given the situation in Liyue, if there is no Rock God in charge, let alone if we have different opinions with the Seven Stars, even if the Seven Stars have conflicts among themselves, it will affect their work efficiency."

"That's right. If the seven stars of Liyue had united, they would have sought justice from the Kingdom of Winter instead of letting it go."

Speaking of this, even the cheerful Liuyun Zhenjun had murderous intent on his face: "If we were not worried about delaying the emperor's important task, we would have killed all those fools long ago. Humph, these Zhidong people are really lawless. They actually dared to unseal the demon god."

他们的确得到过钟离的托梦告知,但公子和他率领的愚人众的确遁,一.资'源'裙;;⒊'四'1.四.7.1,7;8;四.备,用'中..裙,5.7;0,2;9'6'三.四;四'是抱着毁灭璃月的决心而行动,还派遣大量部队上群玉阁破坏归终机,不能说因为没成功就认为他们问题不大。

Xie Yan also nodded and agreed, "The Fatui act without scruples, and I don't like them very much either. This time, Zhidong even wanted to compete with Liyue for the right to mint coins. Fortunately, Master Xueyue Zhuyang discovered the method to activate the Immortal Ancestor's Transfiguration in time."

"No, I can't do it alone. That Tianquanxing also made a lot of contributions... In this way, I understand why the Emperor asked you to coordinate the relationship between humans and immortals." Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang looked like a little fan, and the Emperor's actions were indeed careless.

He paused and added, "You just heard it. Immortals and emperors alike should not be babysitters for the people of Liyue. It is difficult to strike a balance between maintaining friendly relations and avoiding human greed."

Liuyun Jiefeng and Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun also expressed their agreement. This problem has troubled Liyue for thousands of years and is more troublesome than the position of the God of Rock.

To put it bluntly, the God of Geo just needs an existence that can be recognized by both humans and immortals. If there is no other option, everyone can just pretend to be stupid and recommend Mr. Zhongli!

Of course, this is just a joke, but as long as the Emperor exists, everyone will have confidence in their hearts. The problem of the relationship between humans and immortals is the same as the tragedy of King Ruota, which is caused by human desires themselves.

Xie Yan pursed his lips and said, "I have thought about this for a long time. I even thought about letting all the immortals move into Liyue Harbor, but this will only make both sides uncomfortable. If the status quo is maintained, all the immortals will be bothered by people seeking immortality... So, my idea is to give some hope instead of blocking."

"What do you mean? If someone is possessed by evil spirits or encounters a disaster, we will help them. That's why people have a lucky mentality."

"Of course, there's nothing wrong with people who really need help. My suggestion is to set up a set of rules for those who are healthy and free from disasters. For example, each True Lord can teach a simple fairy art secret book and stipulate that only those who have reached a certain level of cultivation can come to visit."

Xie Yan did not say to select the people with the highest level of cultivation to give guidance, as this would evolve into a gangster-like cultivation of immortals.

And if their qualifications can really meet the standards, Xie Yan believes that the immortals will not hesitate to support the younger generation, as this is related to Liyue's foundation.

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Master Liuyun's eyes lit up: "Good plan! This will at least save us 90% of the trouble."

Lishui Dieshan and Xueyue Zhuyang Zhenjun looked at each other and agreed. This way, they could keep things peaceful and select talents in disguise. No wonder the place like Inazuma, where the Thunder General reigned supreme, would hear the cry of a fox "Inazuma rises, Xie Yan is king". Xie Yan was indeed good at governing.

If he had not been in charge of the two countries of Inazuma and Sumeru, both of them would have planned to let Xie Yan inherit the will of the rock and become the new rock god.

What? No rock elemental power? Who stipulated that the Rock God must be able to use the rock element?

It's obvious at first glance that Xie Yan is as good at inflicting injuries as the Emperor!

Seeing that the human-immortal problem that had plagued them for thousands of years could be solved, all the immortals were very happy. They toasted each other to celebrate Xie Yan's return. Even Xiao drank a few glasses, which was rare.

Although he still had a blank expression on his face, Xie Yan felt that he was still quite happy. Only the immortals in Liyue could talk to him without fear of karma.

Unknowingly, time passed quietly. Lishui Dieshan and Xueyue Zhuyang Zhenjun left first. Xiao and Xie Yan nodded and prepared to leave, but were stopped by him.

"Great Sage, please stay."

"..."

Xiao's mouth twitched: "Don't call me the Great Sage, and don't call me the Immortal."

"Haha, I didn't expect you to have this side of me."

"...You should pay attention to the difference in status. With your status, only the Emperor and other rulers can treat you as an equal. Don't address them like that at ordinary times, otherwise you will be looked down upon."

Xie Yan smiled dumbly: "There's no need to be so serious in front of our own people. Okay, no more jokes. I called you to try to eliminate your karma."

"Karma!" Xiao was shocked when he heard this, but he lowered his head in frustration: "It's useless. I am tainted with the resentment of more than one or two demon gods. Even the Emperor can't do anything about it."

"If it's to expel everything, I'm not sure, but it should make you feel better... At least try it."

"it is good."

Xiao felt his sincerity, and his golden eyes were filled with a hint of reminiscence, as if he saw the figure of Burning the Sky and Boiling the Sea.

The other party had no means to heal him, but in order to make him feel better, he would always use the power of dreams to let him sleep peacefully and reminisce the taste of a [sweet dream].

"When was the last time I had a dream?" Xiao couldn't remember.

He longed for a beautiful dream, but felt deeply guilty.

He was once controlled by the devil and became a great demon under his command. He committed many murders, crushed many ideals, and was manipulated to swallow the dreams of the losers. This caused him great pain, but no matter how madly he screamed, he could not change his fate as a puppet. It was not until the appearance of the Rock King that his fate changed.

Even so, his gentleness and innocence were washed away by the killing, and he could only atone for his past by taking on the responsibility of a Yaksha, and he never dared to slack off for two thousand years.

'Wait, why am I suddenly thinking this?'

A familiar feeling of drowsiness came over him, and Xiao's expression changed slightly, realizing that it was Xie Yan who had used the power of dreams.

"Have a sweet dream, Xiao."

Xie Yan's gentle voice came to my ears, and it seemed like burning the sky and boiling the sea, and it seemed like...the Emperor.
