After secretly settling in the Immortal Ancestor's relics, and sending the General Affairs Department to post a pacifying notice, Ning Guang returned to the Jade Pavilion with a heavy heart, contemplating Liyue's next path while observing the patrolling faces.

Unexpectedly, after the fall of the Emperor, that powerful immortal would surely take control of all parts of Liyue.

The Millelith Army she arranged in the Jade Pavilion was a henchman who she had actually cultivated and could put a little heart at ease.

But in the eyes of the immortal, this was a hidden danger, a sign of unease.

Even if he had already arranged for a pure water spirit to reside on top of the Jade Pavilion, he would be responsible for monitoring the movements here.

However, there was not even a single movement, and the faces of the people who came along the way were as usual, and Ningguang once again deeply realized what it meant to be truly in control.

"Ahem!"

When you step into your usual office, the first thing that catches your eye is an absurd scene.

His three confidant secretaries buried their heads in the ...... that seemed to be towering into the sky

file heap.

Putting down the teapot in his hand, he wiped the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, flipped through the document that Lotia had just handed over, and then threw it aside disdainfully.

"Tianquanxing, it's not feasible for you to find a secretary, although it is safe, but if there are too many documents, it will be out of proportion. Find a time to leave them with the senior sister to study. ”

"It's really tiring to stop the water and dispel the evil Zhenjun cares, I am here to thank the immortals for the kindness of Baizhi, Baixiao, and Baiwen."

Ningguang noticed that a piece of the dark shirt that Zhishui was wearing was darker than the surroundings, and understood that this immortal might have fallen in the assassination of the emperor.

The injury is not easy to judge, but judging from the guards of the Millelith Army on both sides, I am afraid that I can no longer protect the safety of my life now.

"I don't know what the true monarch is doing to stop the water and dispel the evil spirits, and come to condense the light, what is the cost of this little humble house?"

"You know that there is no need to tempt, it is nothing more than the big event that caused a sensation in Liyue Harbor."

"Since the immortal said so, then Ningguang is not polite, dare to ask the immortal if he knows who the murderer is?"

Zhishui's face sank: "White robe, faintly visible gold, proficient in martial arts...... I don't get into that fight, I just know the vague conditions.

"If I hadn't been swept away by the aftermath at that time, that person was seriously injured by the emperor's deathly blow, and I would have been able to stay. It's because I'm not there, I'm not there......"

That's why the damn Tartaglia was able to take advantage of the situation and evolve from a mere Fatui executive to the Emperor's exclusive wallet.

It's really a sad look, for the immortals who believe in it for thousands of years, they can't leave the emperor, right...... Ningguang is undoubtedly confused now.

She knew that Emperor Iwa couldn't protect Liyue forever, but she thought it would happen in the days of future generations, thousands of years from now, not now.

But in the current period, Ningguang didn't dare to show confusion or sadness, Tianquanxing's identity didn't allow this, she should be a powerful person in the mouth of businessmen.

What she should be thinking about is how Liyue will stand out in the turmoil next.

I really envy the true monarch who stopped water and dispelled evil, resigned from his own affairs, and was able to express his emotions unscrupulously.

"Ningguang, Liyue's times have changed, without warning."

As if he was finally able to control his emotions, Zhishui leaned on the backrest, his eyes were empty, and he quietly looked at the ceiling.

"Liyue is no longer a place to walk with the gods, she is now your human race."

“…… Mankind? ”

Ningguang was very surprised.

According to her thoughts, from now on, it should not be under the absolute control of this immortal, the seven stars have become an eternal ornament, and the immortal family who lives in seclusion in the mountains and cultivates has reappeared.

But these words are clearly ......

"Come and sit down."

Lotia brought a chair and placed it beside her, and Shishui beckoned Ningguang to come over, her eyes lingering for a long time on the hairpin that was slightly slanted down in her hair, and suddenly reached out to pull it out.

"I've read your information, from a barefoot little girl selling goods in the suburbs of Lisha to a noble Tianquan star, this experience really surprised me."

"I've never hid such hardships, because it makes me more radiant and more convincing."

Climbing up with righteous and bright means, Ningguang doesn't want to deny and be modest, but what does this have to do with you pulling out my hairpin?

"In the past, Liyue was fifteen years old and an adult, but now you are eighteen years old, so you must have been very humble at that time."

"When you are old, you will break off a branch and stick it in your hair, and you will be able to do it."

"Although it is not very compliant, I will take it upon myself to make up a gift for you today."

took out a jade comb, turned Ningguang around, and watched the snow-like hair slip away from the cracks in the comb again and again, and Zhishui's expression became more and more trance-like.

Comb it, comb it, and the gift of the flute, when you become adults, you should also grow up...... Pampered chicks, I hope you will be able to walk to the edge of the nest with the steps that have already been solidified, and be qualified to try to fly.

"This is my hairpin before I used the red rope, carved by the emperor himself, the material is just a solid ordinary black stone, the touch is quite rough."

Coiled up his hair, inserted the hairpin, stopped the water and pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked, "What do you think of Keqing?" ”

"Keqing?"

Clearly felt the weight of the stone hairpin, and Ning Guang's heart sank for some reason.

"Although her ideas are still unique in Liyue, they make sense, and I support them, but she seems to be a little unaccustomed to my businessmanship."

Zhishui corrected: "It's not that it seems, she just can't get used to it." And I want to make one thing clearer, Keqing's idea of pushing forward a thousand years is not a maverick.

"The idea that "there is an emperor for everything" was spurned and condemned in that era."

That's why I don't approve of handing Liyue over to humans! Their steps have long been stiff, and they can't take a step......

But as the emperor said, we are still here, and we can still weave a big net to hold the chicks, and we can't wait for the net to break.

"Ningguang, since you consider yourself a businessman, let me see your value, and let me see if you can rule Liyue and bring your people into a better new era."

Let me see if you are a real businessman, or a real celestial star.

"My worth, Commander?"

Chewing on these words, Ning Guang looked around and realized that the Millelith Army on both sides had already knelt on one knee, but the direction they were facing was ......

"This is the proof of the leadership of the Millelith Regiment, which should have accompanied the birth of the Millelith Army, thus losing power and only glory, but now it seems that this is not the case."

A waist card was placed on the table, and Zhishui seemed to blink a little embarrassedly at Shang Ningguang's searching gaze: "If you put it here for so long, it is inevitable that you will be covered with pulp, don't dislike it." ”

Facing the gaze of the Millelith Army present, Ningguang understood in his heart.

They didn't choose to be loyal because of this waist card, the only reason was that the True Monarch believed in her.

If she betrays the trust, it's Millelith......

No, I want to let the name of Heavenly Power Condensation be passed down through the ages, and I will not and will not be able to live up to it.

Ningguang reached out and held the waist card and squeezed it firmly in the palm of his hand.

"Thank you."

"Normal delivery, what thank you for? I'm quite seriously injured and need to recuperate, so I won't be here for long. ”

Zhishui slowly got up, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "I forgot to remind you that the decision to hand over Liyue to you has not been discussed with the Immortals, and it was decided by me on my own.

"Don't come to me, you won't find me, in order to avoid being beaten by Master, I have prepared a place where no one can find me...... Gross-"

Suddenly frowned, bent over and spit out a large mouthful of blood on the ground, and the water stopped for a moment:

"The people I installed in the Jade Pavilion will come to you to confess later, if you don't decide to continue using them, I have asked my senior sister to prepare another position for them.

"I'll trouble you to clean up the blood I vomited."

For the sake of the real effect, Zhishui really attacked himself, but it was not even to the point of being fatally injured.

"Your Highness, do you need me to ......?"

"Go, go, I don't have the heart to take care of you right now."

"I'm the one who takes care of Your Highness."

Disgusted and thrown back, Lotia was sullen and shouted at the gaze that was observing her: "Your Highness said that I was cowardly and fearful, and I had paranoia of being killed, so he didn't ask me to spy on you!" I'm just a pure resident. ”

"Oh."

So what did I guard against you before?

Ningguang felt amused, pondering how to deal with the immortals, and at the same time, absentmindedly reached out to pick up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it carefully.

“…… Why does it smell of rust? ”

"Oh, Your Highness vomited blood here."
