The people were collapsing the iron, giving the immortal boat a little shock to the Holy Lord

"Hey, are you kidding me? Do you understand the Emperor or do I understand the Emperor? Look, there are a few people in this store who agree with you."

Everyone laughed, and the teahouse was suddenly filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Zhongli shook his head helplessly. If the plan was carried out perfectly, when facing the dragon-shaped corpse that he had created, even if everyone did not believe it, they would have to accept the fact that the Rock King was assassinated and ignore all the unreasonable aspects of it.

After all, there is a saying that goes, facts speak louder than words.

But the little girl showed up, and her appearance was exactly the same as the image she always showed.

"Forget it... I believe that when those old friends arrive, they will recognize the difference between that child and me."

Zhongli thought so in his mind.

As for whether these immortal old friends would identify the other party as his rebirth, he felt that it should not be the case.

After all, the Rock Demon has more than just features in appearance, he also has an inner solidity that no one else can imitate.

Just as Zhongli was thinking this in his mind, the surroundings suddenly became lively, with people shouting:

"The Emperor is coming to inspect. Everyone, get ready and perform well for the reborn Emperor!"

"Oh, the Emperor is coming to inspect. I have to prepare well. Look, are my clothes neat? But I heard that the Emperor lost his memory after his transformation. I really want to know what happened."

Tian Tiezui hurriedly began to tidy up his clothes and fix his hairstyle, fearing that he would be impolite.

"That little girl, she wants to inspect? Could it be that she really thinks she is the Rock God because she lost her memory..."

Zhongli's eyes moved slightly, and combined with what he saw at the scene and his thoughts, he instantly found a reason in his mind.

"If people find out that she is not the Geogoddess, the people of Liyue will probably be angry and ridicule her. Will she have emotional problems and endanger the people of Liyue?"

Zhongli's thoughts kept turning around. From the dragon horns on Baizhi's head, he knew that the other party's nature was not simple. Most likely, she was a demon-level existence. Her current state of losing memory was most likely caused by the wear and tear of being a demon.

"However, there is a dragon-like person on the land of Liyue... the Dragon King Ruotu? No, it's not him. I am too familiar with the aura of Ruotu."

Many existences that he knew flashed through Zhongli's mind, but he ruled them out one by one because the characteristics of these existences were too different from Baizhi.

"Well, let's see how this little girl develops. If she really gets out of control..."

Looking at Liyue Harbor, Zhongli's eyes flashed with determination.

Although he had already made up his mind to make Liyue a country ruled by humans, if he really encountered an irresistible situation, he would take action again.

After all, children can endure hardships and it can be considered as planning for the future, but if the child’s life is in danger, parents cannot just ignore it.

"How about it, Emperor, the scenery of Liyue is very beautiful, right?"

On the main road of Liyue, Keqing pointed at the surrounding buildings proudly and said, "Someone once suggested that the buildings in Liyue were too complicated and that they could be simplified to improve construction efficiency, but I rejected this proposal outright."

“Because in my opinion, this may improve efficiency, but it loses the essence of Liyue. These beautiful decorations and patterns are the soul of Liyue architecture.”

"If it were simply made of stone and cement, it would be devoid of soul and humanity."

"Sister Keqing, you've done a great job. I think so too. Efficiency is important, but humanity also needs to be considered. Although I don't know how I evaluated you before, I now think that you are a very responsible and qualified Yuhengxing."

"Even without my guidance, you can do a good job."

Bai Zhi tilted her head and said in agreement.

"Eh..." Keqing looked at Bai Zhi in surprise. She didn't expect that Bai Zhi would praise her so directly.

123 Mr. Zhongli, please be my assistant.

"Sister Keqing looks very surprised~"

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Do you think my praise is incredible?"

Keqing hesitated for a moment and nodded, "I thought you were a strict person."

Bai Zhi spread her hands and said, "I am indeed a strict person, but no one is born knowing how to do things. I cannot use the strictest standards to demand others. My standards are my personal ideas, and may not be suitable for the general public."

"Humans and gods have different perspectives and abilities. It is impossible to expect humans to meet the requirements of gods. Although I don't know what I thought before, now I think that it may be a better choice for Liyue to be managed by humans."

This time Keqing was really shocked, her mouth opened wide and her eyes were round.

It took her a while to come back to her senses.

"If you let people manage Liyue themselves, aren't you afraid of all kinds of problems? Even with you around, Liyue will often encounter all kinds of man-made disasters. If we really let people manage it..."

Although she often said that the time for change had come, the more she worked as a Yuheng Star, the more she understood the greatness of the Emperor and how every single one of the many affairs of Liyue was arranged in an orderly manner.

The idea proposed is not perfect, but it is definitely the best solution at this stage.

Moreover, compared to human rule, the biggest advantage of gods' rule is that they have no desires or demands. Money and fame, which are loved by mortals, are worthless to gods. In addition, as immortals, gods' endless knowledge and experience can also help the entire country to the greatest extent.

But even so, various man-made disasters often occur.

If Liyue is really governed by humans, will it be okay? Will various problems arise?

She even felt that she was a little afraid of such a scene.

"I understand your thoughts, but it's like a child separating from his parents. Although the parents' experience is a very good example for the child, the child always has his own ideas and wants to be independent."

"I believe Sister Keqing wants Liyue to develop its own path~"

Keqing was stunned. Yes, this was indeed what she had always pursued, to let Liyue be managed by the people of Liyue, not gods.

But such an idea is actually very disrespectful in the entire Liyue, because under the leadership of the Emperor, Liyue is prosperous, and humans are selfish. How many people are willing to break away from the rule of the perfect Saint King and let imperfect people govern the country?

"clap clap"

A burst of applause caught the two men's attention. Looking up, they saw a young man in a dark gown standing on the red stairs and clapping.

"Are you...the guest official of the Wangsheng Hall?"

Keqing, whose complicated thoughts were interrupted, glanced at Zhongli with some concern. She had heard of this man. She heard that he was knowledgeable and calm. Although he looked young, he gave people the feeling of a wise old man who saw through life.

But that’s all. In such a big country like Liyue, there are so many strange people and things.

"Yes, I am Zhongli, Lady Keqing of Yuhengxing. It is an honor to meet you."

Zhongli walked down the stairs and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, then turned his gaze to Baizhi.

Because of the distance before, he couldn't perceive everything clearly, but now when they were face to face, he could feel the specialness of Bai Zhi.

First of all, the feeling of solidity and protection from the other person simply penetrates the body, making people feel inexplicably at peace.

Then there are the beautiful dragon horns and special pupils, anyone can see that they are different from ordinary people.

Combining the two, it is not surprising that the people of Liyue believe that the other party is their reincarnated form.

If he was not sure that his memory had not been worn out to a serious extent, Zhongli would really have doubted whether he had left a daughter somewhere or something.

"Is this... the Emperor after his transformation?"

Looking at Zhongli, Bai Zhi blinked, "I don't know either. Anyway, I was there when I woke up. As for whether I am the emperor or not, they all say I am, so I'll just try to be the emperor."

"Sir, you just applauded. Do you agree with what I said?"

"Just barely..." Zhongli didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard Bai Zhi's answer. It sounded as if Emperor Yanwang was the team leader of some school.

But out of an educational idea, he still spoke:

"I do agree with some of the ideas the Emperor has said. I also think that Liyue should indeed be governed by people. Under the Emperor's rule, although Liyue is peaceful and prosperous, this situation where everything depends on one person is still too dangerous."

"If the emperor makes all the decisions on important matters, what if something happens to him, or even, let me say something disrespectful, if he dies, what will happen to Liyue?"

"What's more, Liyue's Seven Star System is already perfect. Everyone is responsible for the affairs of their own field. Everyone performs their duties and influences each other."

After he finished speaking, Zhongli looked at Baizhi. His words actually implied a meaning, which was that he hoped Baizhi would not interfere too much in the operation of the Liyue Seven Stars.

After all, the other party’s current identity is the God of Geo, and he has lost his memory. If he were a little more childish, the entire Liyue would probably be turned upside down.

"Hmm...it seems so. But Mr. Zhongli, it seems that you have a lot of insights into these things."

Bai Zhi nodded in agreement.

"I don't dare to claim my opinions, they are just some superficial understandings of a man from the mountains."

Zhongli replied quite modestly.

"Mr. Zhongli is not a country bumpkin, is he? I have read his profile before. He is very knowledgeable and proficient in all kinds of etiquette and knowledge. Every task he asks you to do will receive very good reviews. I think his family should be quite wealthy."

At this time, Shi Qing came out and interjected.

"I only know a little bit, but it's just superficial. I can only fool ordinary people. In front of real professionals, I am just an ignorant person."

For some reason, Zhongli always felt that Bai Zhi's eyes seemed to become somewhat malicious.

A bad feeling quietly emerged in his heart.

Looking at Zhongli, Bai Zhi suddenly said with some evil humor: "Mr. Zhongli, I feel that you have your own unique insights into politics and various affairs. As for me, you know, I have lost my memory and have forgotten many things."

"According to the original practice of the Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals, I should guide the future direction of the entire Liyue, but I obviously don't have this ability now. However, I think that Mr. Zhongli may be able to provide a lot of interesting and constructive suggestions."

"So... I would like to invite Mr. Zhongli to be my advisor for a while, to give me advice and help the entire Liyue. What do you think?"

"Ok??"

The smile on Bai Zhi's face became brighter and brighter.

Lao Deng, don't think about retiring, get up and work for me!

124 The Talented Prince Qianyan

"Well, I am not very knowledgeable and my answers are mostly theoretical. I am totally unqualified to be the Emperor's staff or something like that. The Emperor should seek help from someone more capable."

Zhongli, who was almost choked by Baizhi's sudden idea, replied speechlessly after a long while.

I finally retired, and you, a little guy, actually want me to go back to work.

He has bad intentions.

"Oh, that's wrong. It's better to know something on paper than to know nothing. You know, many people can't even do it on paper. Mr. Zhongli, since he has the knowledge, he only needs a little practice to achieve greater growth."

Bai Zhi smiled. Although it was not impossible for her to govern Liyue, after all, she came from the Star Iron Universe, where the network was all-encompassing. Many things about governing the country were open to the public and were even much more advanced than those on Earth.

Even if she doesn't understand many of the details of the operation, she has no problem in proposing the correct general direction.

The rest of the specific implementation can be left to Qixing.

"That's right. Although Zhongli is very modest, he is actually a very capable person. Otherwise, our Wangsheng Hall would not have hired him as our guest official. Emperor, I have to say that you really have good vision."

In the corner, a head popped up and commented on Zhongli in a lively manner.

“Master Hu…” Seeing the person who was speaking, Zhongli closed his eyes helplessly.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's with that expression on your face? Guest, I'm doing this for your own good. Look at you, you're very knowledgeable, but you usually drink tea and walk your birds. Isn't this a waste of such a great talent? The Emperor values ​​talents so much, you should just go and help her obediently."

"By the way....please talk to the Emperor and ask if I can be the spokesperson for the Wangsheng Hall, and let the Wangsheng Hall handle the dragon body~"

The last sentence was spoken by Hu Tao in a low voice into Zhongli's ear.

However, everyone present had sharp ears and sharp eyes, so they naturally heard this sentence clearly.

Keqing curled the corners of her mouth. Although she had heard that the new head of the Wangsheng Hall had an eccentric personality, she was still extremely surprised when she actually saw him.

"As Mr. Zhong's work partner, Master Hu must know a lot about him. Since she said so, I guess Mr. Zhong must be very good at hiding his shortcomings. I don't remember the past, but I know that people and things should be put to good use. Mr. Zhong, please come and help me."

"After all, Mr. Zhong is also from Liyue. Doesn't he want to make Liyue a better place?"

Bai Zhi's words blocked Zhongli's attempt to shirk responsibility, mainly because there was the traitor Hu Tao, so he was embarrassed to force himself to say that he was just talking nonsense, and it was even more impossible for him to be expelled from Liyue.

If anyone else, including Qixing, invited him, he could use all kinds of excuses to prevaricate.

But Bai Zhi’s current identity is “Emperor Rock King”, and he is just a small mortal Zhongli.

In such a big country like Liyue, who would refuse the invitation from the Emperor?

Even if he really refused forcefully, his reputation outside would probably be so bad that it was beyond words.

When others see him, they might say, "Look, that guy is the one who rejected the Emperor. He becomes arrogant just because he has a little ability."

This was something he didn't want to see. He had built up the identity of Zhongli for a long time and couldn't just abandon it like that.

"...Since the Emperor has invited me, I will be willing to give it a try."

Zhongli shook his head helplessly and had to agree first.
