With a slight sound, the wooden door decorated with delicate patterns was casually closed by Secretary Yue Haiting who was leaving.

In the office that became empty again, Keqing sighed tiredly.

——Yuehai Pavilion has existed for a very long time. As the meeting place of the Seven Stars, this institution has the greatest power in the whole of Liyue.

And these secretaries who have been in contact with the Seven Stars for many years have unconsciously developed a little arrogance because they have the support of the Seven Stars and the Rock King.

Not only do many people not take document review and approval seriously at work,

When facing visitors from other countries, or even businessmen, they would inadvertently adopt a condescending attitude.

This situation does not only exist in Yuehai Pavilion, but is also distributed in most departments.

In her opinion, the entire Liyue government system is extremely inefficient.

Since taking office, her various policies related to people's livelihood, such as proposals for residential area reconstruction and road repair, have all been repeatedly blocked.

The other seven stars have their own chambers of commerce and their own interests.

As soon as they heard these "unrealistic" ideas, they would reject her proposal with the word "efficiency".

Although they all believe in Geolord and are even willing to sacrifice their lives for Liyue, they are absolutely reliable in most aspects.

But businessmen are businessmen after all. Even after becoming seven stars, their own way of thinking will still be implemented throughout their ruling career.

Naturally, she couldn't communicate with an "oddball" like her who came from a prominent family but often went to the front line to experience the life of ordinary workers.

Although it seems that there are only some minor problems such as low efficiency, complicated procedures and bad attitude of staff,

But she had actually realized with some uneasiness that Liyue, which was deeply dependent on the Geo King and had not changed for a long time,

Beneath the glamorous exterior, various problems have accumulated to the point of being on the verge of exploding.

——Indeed, if the Emperor is here, then these problems will never be exposed under the authority of the gods.

Therefore, many staff members did not agree with her statement, thinking it was just groundless alarmist talk.

——But can the gods really accompany Liyue forever?

Even if it is just a short period between changes of leadership, it will be a huge turmoil for Liyue now.

If we don't make the necessary preparations in advance, what if the gods really stop protecting this country one day?

Faced with these problems that suddenly erupted after extreme repression, is it really possible for Liyue to properly solve them now?

When she thought of this, Keqing's doubts about the current system became stronger.

"It would be nice if I had time to visit other countries and see how they govern."

"The tour before I took office was too short, and I didn't consider this aspect at all."

Keqing, who always appears strong, efficient, and confident in front of others, is very cautious when faced with a problem that concerns the entire country.

He also scratched his head with both hands, slumped on the table, and looked distressed.

At this moment, in the corner of the study, with a flash of green light, a small green thing like a doll appeared in the room.

At the same time as it appeared, a voice reached the ears of Keqing, who was in a state of indifference:

"Travel, good. Lan Lana has become much stronger during the travel, and Purple Nara can also travel."

!!!

Keqing, who was lying on the table in distress, was startled by the sudden voice.

Thinking of her current undignified appearance, she quickly sat up straight, adjusted her posture back to working seriously, and then looked towards the source of the sound.

"."

"Huh, it's you?"

Keqing was alert. When she looked up, she saw the little vegetable-like creature.

Yuhengxing, who had already become familiar with it in the past few days, was relieved when he saw that the visitor was not one of his subordinates.

"A few days ago, your two companions disappeared with you after clearing out a lot of treasure-stealing groups and monster camps. I thought you had left."

Keqing was full of affection for these little guys who not only saved her but also helped to eliminate many illegal elements. Her tone also switched to her daily one.

"Lan Lana, Lan Rama, and Lan Bailijia have all gone on a 'travel' and have seen some very amazing things, so they have become much stronger. Now they no longer need 'help', so they need to continue 'training'."

Lan Lana shook the leaves on her head and explained to her Danala friend.

"."

Faced with this incoherent conversation, Keqing was completely confused. Even though she was already somewhat accustomed to their strange speaking style, she still remained silent for a moment.

He shook his head and after calming down, he began to communicate with the little guy.

".So, you had actually left Liyue before, and only came back recently?"

"——And you went to help 'God'?!"

Keqing, who was hoping to get some information from the little guy, was greatly surprised when she heard the other party's reply.

Although I already knew that they were a kind of magical creature called Lanna Luo from Xumi,

However, the outside world has never had a clear understanding of this creature.

And only you can see them, others will not react even if they are about to bump into them.

So Keqing actually didn’t know how to talk about this with other people.

But when I found out that these cute little guys were much stronger than I thought,

Keqing became even more curious about the "ordinary scholar" who brought them here.

——Since that guy came with a pass stamped by the gods, the magical creatures he brought with him also have a close connection with the gods.

If such a powerful individual arrived in Liyue with malicious intent, then according to the records,

There is a high probability that an "immortal" will inform you accordingly through some means, or handle it directly.

Since Qixing did not receive any instructions,

Then maybe he is like the immortals in Liyue, a special existence from Xumi, who came to Liyue to communicate with the Emperor with his tacit permission.

——No matter how you think, a being with such a close relationship with the gods must be very aware of the recent changes that have taken place in Xumi.

We wanted to build roads but could not do so, but we watched our neighboring countries complete nationwide road renovation in a short period of time.

Amazed at this huge difference in administrative efficiency,

Keqing felt that the question she had been thinking about might be answered by the other party.

Thinking of this, Keqing looked at the remaining documents in front of her and suddenly became full of energy.

She planned to go to Bubulu to look for someone as soon as she finished dealing with the documents.

Under the puzzled gaze of Lan Lana beside him, he worked even harder.

Chapter 186: Keqing, the Unbeliever, and the Three Gods

On the north side of Liyue Harbor is Bubulu.

At this time near the evening, the number of patients coming for consultation has decreased significantly.

Everyone in Bubu Lu, while busy with their work, had already begun to look forward to the upcoming dinner time.

While Ah Gui was using a medicine grinder to grind and mix some rhizomes of herbs before packaging them for easier cooking for the patient,

A purple-haired girl, looking a little tired, appeared in front of the main entrance of Bubu House.

She stood in front of the most famous medicine house in Liyue Harbor, recalling the good reputation of Doctor Bai among the people.

I also began to guess in my mind the reason why the Xumi scholar appeared here.

——Why would an immortal-like being do nothing but listen to books and drink tea all day after coming to Liyue? Is there any deep meaning behind this?

While she was thinking about it, Agui, who was concentrating on his work, finally noticed the presence of the girl in front of the door.

"Hmm? I don't know you. Are you feeling unwell? If you need any help, you can ask Mr. Baizhu. I will come and get the medicine for you after I get the prescription."

"You may just have to wait for Mr. Zhang in front of you. Don't worry, it will be fine in a moment."

As Ah Gui pushed the grinding stone back and forth, he skillfully repeated the words he used to greet new guests.

When he said this, the drugstore clerk, who was a little distracted by the work at hand,

When I saw the iconic purple hair and dress, I finally remembered where I seemed to have seen a similar look and outfit.

!!!

As the figure on the platform gradually became clearer in his memory, the drugstore clerk,

He couldn't help but rub his eyes, and was a little bit unbelievable about the rare guest who appeared in front of him:

"Hmm? With this hair color and this outfit, are you Lord Yuhengxing?"

"But don't all the Seven Stars have their own doctors? - I wonder why you are here this time? Do you need me to inform Mr. Bai?"

As the highest authority holders in Liyue, the Seven Stars usually have someone in charge of their daily lives and health.

Therefore, medical clinics like Bubulu, which serve ordinary people, are the places where you are least likely to see them.

When seeing Yuhengxing who came here specially, Agui's first reaction was what did she want to talk to Mr. Bai about.

"No need to inform Mr. Bai Shu specifically. I am here just to find someone."

Keqing shook her head and spoke concisely.

"He once saved me, so he is my benefactor. I came here to express my gratitude and also to get answers to some questions."

Knowing that given the opponent's strength, he must have been noticed when he first arrived.

So in order to prevent the other party from avoiding her, Keqing directly told them the reason why she came here.

"Hmm? Your benefactor? Sorry, there are quite a lot of people in the medicine room right now. I don't know who you are talking about?"

However, the reaction was different from what Keqing expected.

I thought that as long as I told the drugstore clerk in front of me my intention, he would naturally think of the hidden young scholar. After all, some people's unique temperament cannot be concealed.

——But judging from the staff member’s current reaction, it is possible that there is more than one such special-looking existence in Bubulu?

Keqing suddenly began to doubt her common sense, and finally had to honestly tell everyone the relevant information she had.

But just as Ah Gui heard the familiar name from the girl in front of him and was about to reply, a gentle and elegant voice interrupted directly from the inner room of the medicine house:

"Oh? I wonder why Lord Yuhengxing came to Bubulu in person to see Mr. Lin?"

"——If you are treating your benefactor, then finding an informant to follow him is not a good idea."

The sound came from far away, and although it was not fast or slow, it had a strong presence. Keqing could not help but turn her head to look.

As soon as I caught a glimpse of the iconic green hair, I knew this must be the famous Dr. Bai.

"."

After hearing the other party's words, Keqing couldn't help but remain silent for a moment.

Although this was not his original intention, it was a fact that he arranged for an informant to help find the whereabouts of Mr. Lin.

But just as she was about to explain, she saw the young man in front of her smiled gently, shook his head and continued:

"Sorry, it was just a joke."

"——There have been quite a few new faces coming to Bubulu recently. Although they are all normal customers, I thought our small clinic was being targeted for some reason."

"It's just a small matter, Master Yuhengxing, don't worry about it. It's just that Mr. Lin likes to be quiet, and he is not a staff member of the clinic. We are not sure whether it is convenient to meet now."

"."

Looking at the sincere smile of apology on the other person's face, Keqing was a little confused for a moment to figure out how much of the informant she had arranged had been exposed.

Or maybe he was not exposed at all and the other party was just deceiving him.

But even when facing this Seven Star, everyone in Bubulu would still choose to stand in Mr. Lin's shoes.

It seems that the status of this benefactor of mine in this pharmacy is much higher than I imagined.
