Chapter 147: Immortals Gather at Liyue Harbor

On a wide street in Liyue Harbor, Ningguang, Keqing and Ganyu were leading a team of Thousand Rocks Army to confront four immortals flying in the sky. Although the immortals' momentum was terrifying, the Thousand Rocks Army led by Ningguang showed no sign of retreat.

"The Seven Stars of Liyue, you are just mortals who were chosen to manage Liyue. How dare you hide such a serious matter as the Emperor's murder from us?"

Facing Zhenjun Jiefengliuyun who was pretending to be angry, Ningguang hinted to Ganyu with her eyes more than once to let Ganyu say something nice, but Ganyu pretended not to see it. Knowing the truth, she was very worried that if she accidentally let it slip, Ningguang, a smart man, would notice something. In order to avoid accidents, Ganyu simply chose to keep silent. As long as she didn't speak, no one could find any problems from her.

Seeing that Ganyu closed her eyes and ignored what was happening outside, Ningguang was very anxious. She sent someone to find Ganyu who was resting, hoping that Ganyu would play the main role in persuasion. But now, Ganyu has become just there to make up the numbers.

"Lord Liuyunjiefeng, in your opinion, what is the most important thing that has supported Liyue for thousands of years?"

When the situation was about to reach a stalemate, Keqing stood up regardless of Ningguang's look. Facing the aggressive Zhenjun Liuyunjiefeng, Keqing did not have Ningguang's habit of looking back and forth.

"Humph, do you even need to ask? Of course it's because the Emperor is here."

The crane eyes of Master Liuyun Jiefeng were full of pride, and his answer made Xiao and other immortals nod in agreement. In their opinion, without the Emperor, even if the War between Demons and Gods was over, Liyue would not be able to go far. The greed of mortals would eventually trigger a war to fight for the ownership of Liyue.

Keqing seemed to disagree with Master Liuyun Jiefeng's answer. As she spent more and more time on Yuheng Star, she found that the more deeply she managed Liyue, the more obvious the importance of practice became. Keqing didn't think these immortals who lived in seclusion from the world knew anything about management.

"Emperor? I don't think so, because we humans are the ones who have to rely on hard work to survive."

Keqing's voice was not loud, but her words were as deafening as thunder in the ears of the four immortals present. After a few seconds of silence, all three immortals except Xiao showed some anger on their faces. The most intense reaction came from True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng. This admirer of the emperor flapped his wings and his terrifying pressure swept across the entire Liyue Harbor.

"presumptuous!"

"Master Liuyunjiefeng, when the Emperor Yanwang planned all the immortals, he hoped that the immortals would lead the mortals to prosperity, not let your immortal pressure come here to rebuke the people of Liyue from a high position."

As soon as Master Liuyun Jiefeng said this outrageous remark, Keqing directly retorted back at him with several words, which made Master Liuyun Jiefeng so angry that the feathers on his body stood up.

"You sharp-tongued little girl, I remember you are Yuheng Star among the seven stars of Liyue, right? As a Yuheng Star, you actually said such outrageous words. In my opinion, you have reached the end of your career as a Yuheng Star."

"If you feel you are right, you should speak out loudly and take resolute action. This has always been my philosophy of life. Even if you, Master Liuyunjiefeng, are an immortal, I will still say what I want to say."

Facing the rebuke from Master Liuyun Jiefeng, Keqing refused to give in and pressed forward step by step. Everything she did was for Liyue Harbor. Even if she died at the hands of an immortal today, she would have no regrets.

"And I think there is nothing wrong with what I said. The Emperor is indeed worthy of respect, but he cannot protect us forever. Millions of years from now, we mortals may be the only ones walking in Liyue." "Lord Liuyunjiefeng, only we mortals know how to walk the road after Liyue, so you don't have to worry about it."

Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng was really pissed off by Keqing at this moment. She had long forgotten the demeanor of an immortal. She stretched out her wings, pointed at Keqing and asked loudly.

"Okay, then I want to ask you, why did you, the Seven Stars of Liyue, conceal the fact that the Emperor was murdered?"

"Master Liuyunjiefeng, we are not deliberately hiding it..."

Seeing that the situation was beyond her expectations, Ganyu hurriedly tried to ease the atmosphere and reminded Master Liuyun Jiefeng to control his emotions. However, before Ganyu could finish her words, Master Liuyun Jiefeng interrupted her.

"Ganyu, now is not the time for you to speak. I want to ask you, the Seven Stars of Liyue, why did you block the news if you didn't want to conceal it on purpose? Did you do something wrong?"

"Master Liuyunjiefeng, we just want to use our power to investigate the truth about the Emperor's murder. We are not deliberately hiding this matter."

"In addition, we concealed this matter to prevent unnecessary panic from spreading in Liyue Harbor. If there really was something wrong, we would not be meeting here today."

Ningguang was also getting a little restless. If she was accused of deliberately concealing the murder of the Emperor, then her prestige as the Tianquan Star would probably suffer a severe blow. And then those guys in Liyue Harbor who were ready to make a move would not miss such a good opportunity.

"Humph, just you, a bunch of mortals?"

Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng snorted with disdain. She admitted that there were indeed many mortals over the past few thousand years who impressed her eyes, but in her eyes, most of the mortals were mediocre and incompetent. Asking these people to investigate the cause of the emperor's death was nothing but a pipe dream.

"I know that in the eyes of immortals, mortals are always unworthy of being used. You believe that Liyue should live under your protection, and mortals cannot survive from generation to generation without your protection."

"But all of this is just the arrogant delusion of you immortals. No matter whether we are immortals or mortals, we are no different from the plants on the ground. What the immortals can do, we mortals can do as well. Liyue will eventually move towards the path of human rule!"

Keqing's firm words caused all the immortals in Liyue Harbor to fall silent. Thousands of years had passed since they followed the Emperor, and this was the first time they had been rendered speechless by a mere mortal.

Several immortals looked at each other. Perhaps after the Emperor's plan was completed, they could go to Liyue Harbor and observe the changes in mortals over the years. They had lived in seclusion in the mountains together over the years and knew very little about the changes in Liyue.

On the Yujing Terrace, Grandma Ping looked at Keqing's upright back from afar with a gratified smile on her face. What the child said was very good, and she could say such words from the bottom of her heart. No wonder the Emperor was so optimistic about this child. Perhaps it was what the child said at that time that made the Emperor determined to unload the burden on him and hand over Liyue to someone else.
