"The Kingdom of Winter is strong, and we have punished the Fatui for their violations before..."

"Stop. Are we in Liyue weak? I just want to say that as the Seven Stars, we have an obligation to seek justice for the people of Liyue, but we have an even greater obligation to prevent harm from happening."

Ningguang remained silent, which was unusual for her, as if she was stumped by Keqing's rebuttal.

But that was not the case. She was just surprised by the firmness in Keqing's tone.

She actually admired Keqing very much, but had always treated her as a junior. It was not until today that she discovered that this seemingly cute girl had found her own path.

"I have never been arbitrary, and all the decisions I made to the outside world were agreed upon by others. Keqing...if you really want to change, it depends on whether you can convince the other seven stars."

"Humph, of course I know!"

After saying this, Keqing turned around and prepared to leave.

But Ningguang suddenly stopped her and said, "Wait, there is something I need to ask you. What is the relationship between the Emperor and True Lord Burning Heaven and Boiling Sea? I looked up information today and found that the Emperor has taken good care of his descendants."

"Of course. True Lord Burning Heaven and Boiling Sea and Great Sage Conquering Demons are both generals under the Emperor. They are like the Emperor's nephews to the outside world. Wait, Ningguang, why are you asking me this?"

"There's nothing I can do. Apart from the immortals, you are probably the only one in Liyue who knows the Emperor's affairs best."

Keqing suddenly froze in place.

The next second, her secret was revealed and she stood up like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"Who... who knows the Emperor so well? Ningguang, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all!"

Cat is proud!

The cat is furious!

Keqing snorted coldly and walked out of the door at a quick pace.

Ningguang looked at her back and smiled silently.

.....

at the same time.

Northland Bank.

All the Fatui elites in Liyue gathered here at this time, but even a man of noble status like Yusupov lowered his head at this time.

The orange-haired, sunny-looking young man in gray was currently browsing through the information, his blue eyes becoming brighter.

"My Lord, the copying of the Record of No Taboos is almost ready. When the day of the Immortal Summoning Ceremony begins, we can use the device given by the Doctor to quickly teleport to Guyun Pavilion to remove the seal." Theovan reported in a low voice.

Tartaglia came back to his senses and patted his shoulder enthusiastically: "Well, you did a good job. Although this kind of conspiracy is not my style, I have to do this for the Queen's mission. Alas, I don't know what Morax would think when he saw his former opponent break the seal. But thank you..."

"Xie Yan is currently living in Yujingtai. Given the way Tianquanxing behaves, they might want to use him to test us. Sir, you must be careful."

"No, no, no, I'm not worried about that at all. If Tianquanxing really does that, I'll have to give her some gifts to thank her."

Tartaglia pursed his lips, exuding a strong fighting spirit.

"Ma'am, let's not talk about the scattered soldiers. He even challenged General Lei Dian. I couldn't hold back when I received the intelligence a few days ago. If I don't fight with such a strong man, what's the point of me living?" His tone was fanatical, even a little crazy.

Theofan and Yusupov looked at each other in silence. They knew that the young man who seemed cheerful and sunny was actually such a fighting maniac. After becoming an executive officer, he even wanted to compete with all the other executive officers.

only--

My Lord, they are people who have fought against the gods. Are you sure you are not going to get killed? For the sake of the Queen's plan, let's take it easy.

Having said that, they did not dare to persuade him. Even if the young master was only the last seat, the decision he made represented the will of the Queen, and they could not interfere.

.....

the next day.

Next to a small lake somewhere in the northeast of Tianheng Mountain.

"Paimon, watch out outside! Tell me immediately if someone comes."

"Don't worry, traveler. When have I ever made a mistake?"

Paimon put his hands on his hips and raised his little head proudly.

When traveling in the wild, adventurers have to sleep in the open air and can only take a bath in a nearby lake or stream. This is when the importance of companions becomes apparent.

She, Paimon, is the best partner!

But when she turned around, she only saw the silly Yingmei glaring at her.

"If you hadn't ordered so many dishes yesterday, we wouldn't have been unable to rent a hotel. I had to take several commissions early in the morning and had to take a shower outside!"

7. Continue to quit drinking!

Yingmei was furious!

But the money had been spent, and she had eaten quite a bit of the dishes she ordered yesterday, so Ying could only swallow the bitter pill silently and tell herself that this was just a touch of embellishment in her trip.

But in the final analysis, the reason is still poverty!

Although we have become accustomed to surviving in the wilderness, who would want to eat dirt in the wild if possible?

But for the beautiful girl, when she was hungry she could pick some sunset fruits and get some grilled fish to make do, but the problem of taking a bath was something she could not compromise on.

When trapped in the ruins in Mondstadt, Ying even squeezed the water slime to get water.

It’s been two days now...Oh, no, it’s been three days now. I haven’t taken a shower for three days, and Yingmei feels as if Paimon is crawling on her body.

Therefore, even if she accepted the commission and would have to go through a series of battles later, she still thought taking a bath was more important.

He looked around the lake again and saw that the water was clear. Using elemental vision, he saw some monster aura, but it was just residual and would not come over for the time being.

Ying no longer hesitated, took off her clothes, put them on the shore, and jumped down with a splash.

However, the lake water was a bit cold early in the morning. Ying took note of what happened today due to poverty and made up his mind to find the secret to getting rich in Liyue.

She thinks she needs to find a partner to chat with!

...

Yujingtai, diplomatic embassy.

Xie Yan opened his eyes, ending his state of mindless cultivation.

Although the growth of mental power brought by meditation has always been relatively slow, it is irreplaceable for maintaining the state and tempering the will. Otherwise, Ying would not have thought of using meditation to avoid wear and tear.

In fact, Ying himself also joked that his previous escapist behavior and the policies of the closed-door order and the eye-hunting order were like a turtle, but turtles are a symbol of longevity, and perhaps the pursuit of eternity will turn him into this form.

"Unfortunately, it's no use for me to escape. It seems that this World Tree has set its sights on me."

Xie Yan did not get out of bed immediately. He put his hand on his forehead, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He could feel the call as early as when he was sailing on the sea. At that time, he tried to relax his mind and sense it. Although he slipped away very quickly in the end, he was still contaminated a little. After arriving in Liyue, he felt the call more obviously, and he could even vaguely sense the direction.

"The direction is west. According to the map, it is the Layered Rock Abyss, or even the Sumeru beyond?"

Xie Yan didn't know where exactly it was, but since he possessed part of the soul essence of the demon god, which was equivalent to "Inspiration EX", and his family bloodline was extremely special and could connect to the world tree, he could hear the call at all times.

"If the World Tree had not been polluted, I would be the child of heaven."

"Even now, if we can gain power or knowledge while controlling the pollution, it is actually worthwhile. If nothing else, even if we just maintain the connection, I feel that the Sage Bloodline and Sharingan can be evolved."

That being said, Xie Yan doesn't dare to play it that way. When the pollution level reaches a certain level, whether Avalon will be effective or not is another matter.

At this time, he also vaguely guessed the reason for the decline of his family. If his bloodline was awakened, it would mean that the possibility of being contaminated would increase. The more he developed his bloodline, the closer he would be to being polluted and corrupted. If there was no need to use his power, it would be safest to be an ordinary person.

Even if the details of one's later years are unknown, at least it means that one can live to old age.

"I still have to ask Ganyu and the Emperor before making plans. If it's really dangerous, I'll put it aside for now. Anyway, my goal is only the Mountain Slashing Sword. This thing is a weapon and divine power prepared for me by the system."

As long as he gets the Mountain-Slaying Sword, Xie Yan can just teleport back to Inazuma immediately. If the doctor or the Institute of Religious Affairs want to cause trouble, he can just take Ying with him and that will be the end of it.

You want a god, right? I'll bring you one that's even more powerful than Buyer. Are you satisfied now?

After finishing this job, Xumi will belong to Inazuma!

"Well, let's finish the things in Liyue first, talk to Ningguang, touch the Seven-Day Statue, and go find the Emperor."

After pushing the door open and washing up briefly, Xie Yan discovered that Qianli, Jiuqi Shinobu and some officials from the shogunate had also checked into the embassy.

Oh no, I forgot about them after having dinner with Keqing yesterday.

Alcohol and sex have led me astray again!

Continue to quit drinking!

Jiuqi Ren sat at the dining table and stretched out: "I haven't had Liyue's breakfast for a long time. To be honest, Liyue is the best in food among the Seven Kingdoms."

话虽如此,她却想起了万民堂的香菱,当初香菱听她说厨艺最.'';;⒊'⒋'⒈.⒋.7.1,7;⒏;4.备,用'中.转.,⒌.⒎;0,2;9'6'3.⒋;4'重要的是创新,后来硬是端上了一盘椒盐史莱姆,那时久岐忍终于理解对方为什么总要说“食材打人了”。

Qianli was quite curious and wanted to try it, but in order to maintain her figure, she could only choose one at random.

Seeing Xie Yan coming, they both stood up and saluted.

"Sit down and eat. When did you get here?"

"After you and Yuhengxing left yesterday, Liyue also held a banquet to welcome us. Everyone enjoyed the meal very much and returned to the embassy very late."

Xie Yan nodded when he heard this. That’s right, how could he be the only one living in the Inazuma Embassy?

Qianli asked tentatively: "Master Xie Yan, what is the attitude of the Liyue Seven Stars? Can we start selling our things?"

"Liyue Daoqi is quite friendly to begin with, so it's only natural that diplomatic relations will be restored. Don't worry about this. You can go outside and inquire about the market situation after dinner. I will discuss the specific details with Tianquanxing today."

"Yes!"

Jiuqi Shinobu and Qianli bowed respectfully.

Xie Yan waved his hand and said, "There's no need to bow without saying a word. We need craftsmen, not bowing craftsmen. Also, you two should take care of each other. Qianli, if you have any questions about Liyue's contracts or laws, just go find Aren."

Although Kuki Shinobu considers himself a gangster, that is just self-deprecation.

She is not the best in every field, but at least she is among the top. To Xie Yan, she feels like a panacea like Dagu.

If not for this, Xie Yan would not have thought of bringing her to Liyue.

Of course, it is also pleasing to the eye to see beautiful girls on the road.

After breakfast, Jiuqi Shinobu and the others packed up a little and headed for Liyue Harbor. Xie Yan originally planned to go to the martial arts training ground to stretch his muscles, but he had a lot of things to do today, so he thought it would be better to go out first.

The embassy was not far from Yujingtai, and Xie Yan had the special ability of clairvoyance at this time, so he found the place quickly even without remembering the way.

Just by taking a quick glance, Xie Yan saw a lot of secret guards around the embassy.

"Is there anyone following me when I go out today? Ningguang shouldn't send ordinary people to follow me, so...Ye Lan?"

However, now that Liyue's Immortal Invitation Ceremony is approaching, it is normal for the Seven Stars not to want to cause trouble. They don't know that the Emperor wants to retire. From their standpoint, if something goes wrong at this time, they will not be able to face the Emperor.

For example, if he fights with the Fatui, how will Liyue deal with it?

It would be fine outside the city, but fighting inside the city would be too dangerous, and ordinary people would also be affected. Qixing knew very little about him and it was impossible for him to take such a risk.

Thinking about how to talk to Ye Lan, Xie Yan came to Yuehai Pavilion.

Yuehai Pavilion is located in the center of Yujing Terrace. It is the place where the Seven Stars of Liyue handle official business and discuss important matters. The architectural style is classical and exquisite, which is very familiar to Xie Yan.

He came in mainly to find Ningguang, intending to quickly finish the business and then go for a walk outside, but Keqing was already waiting here in advance.

"Keqing?"

"Xie Yan, you're here. Are you here to look for Ningguang? She's in the Jade Pavilion."

Keqing walked up to Xie Yan's side.

Her actions attracted the attention of many people. Although Keqing looked like a lovely girl, she was extremely serious and stern at work. She also encouraged overtime work. Although she paid her enough wages, people still didn't want to get close to her.

After all, the wages Keqing pays are just in line with overtime pay, but it is not enough to get everyone to voluntarily work 996, and Keqing is also quite strict with her subordinates.

But today's Keqing...why does she give people the feeling of a docile cat?

You know what, when seeing the two of them standing together, everyone actually thought they were quite a good match.

8 Yingmei: Paimon, what exactly are you protecting?

Although he has a dull expression, Xie Yan is still very handsome, and even General Lei Dian is very satisfied with him.

As for his temperament, Xie Yan himself might not have noticed it, but in the eyes of others, he was in a high position and had dignity and mystery, as well as the purity and unrestrainedness of a warrior. He really had a good grasp of his personal charm.

Of course, the most important thing is that he is from Liyue, and it is rumored that he has immortal blood, so everyone likes him at this time.

Seeing Keqing talking to Xie Yan, several staff members who were closer couldn't help but whisper.

"Lady Keqing has never been so happy. She came so early today. Could she be waiting for this person?"

"Look, Lady Keqing has never taken her eyes off him. She even smiled just now!"
