Genshin Impact, but the chat group

"Wendy, you've come at the right time! I just got back from outside. Let's eat together!"

Li Yue waved to Wendy, including her in the conversation.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the three great generals of Liyue and the new Geo Archon dined with the Traveler Ying. This honor is something even the Star Guardians cannot achieve!

138. A letter from the Great Sage of Mount Sumeru

The news that the new Geo Archon Li Yue had dinner with the three Liyue generals at Wanmin Hall became a trending topic in Liyue Harbor. Also trending was a comment Li Yue made to the onlookers after the meal.

"This traveler Ying is a friend of mine, Li Yue. She is not very familiar with Teyvat. If she encounters any difficulties, please do me a favor and lend her a hand."

The Rock King personally spoke up, saying that Luminous was his friend and asking everyone to give him face, promising to help the Traveler if she encountered any difficulties.

It's worth it!

The Traveler Ying suddenly became a hot topic in Liyue Harbor. Although she was not a Liyue native and did not hold any official position in Liyue, she had a lot of influence. She was a friend of the new Geo Archon, and the fact that the Geo Archon could make her appear was enough for the people of Liyue! What if she became friends with this Traveler and the Traveler said a few words to the Geo Archon? Wouldn't that be giving her a direct boost in front of the Geo Archon?

Liyue Harbor has no shortage of opportunistic merchants. For a time, everyone wanted to befriend Travelers, and Travelers' status in Liyue Harbor rose accordingly. However, Ying was a very smart person. She knew that these people were befriending her to save face for Li Yue. She also knew that Li Yue was saying this to make things convenient for her. Therefore, she would only contact the merchants of Liyue Harbor when she really needed help. Otherwise, she would only contact her friends, such as Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Venti.

Now, there are also Zhongli and Narcida, because Ying sought out Li Yue to inquire about the gods. However, Li Yue said, "Although I am a new god, I haven't been in Teyvat for very long. I don't know anything. Why don't you ask Zhongli? That guy knows a lot."

Then Ying was pushed to Zhongli. As for whether Zhongli would reveal his identity, that was none of Li Yue's business.

And since Wendy is also getting involved, Zhongli's old trick of being a jerk is probably doomed, as is Narcida; it all depends on her own choices.

After a brief appearance to support Yingmei, Li Yue left again. His status was different now, and he couldn't wander around outside anymore. His previous Teyvat Chronicles column had also been discontinued. Only his two martial arts novels were still being published and distributed. However, Li Yue was certainly not short of money now.

Because of Li Yue's appearance and his explicit mention of Tianquan Ningguang, Ningguang's reputation has clearly declined. After all, the Rock King publicly belittled Tianquan Star in front of everyone and directly stated that Tianquan Star had no right to meet the Rock King, which was a real blow to Ningguang.

But as the saying goes, let the seven stars of Liyue suffer a little, so that the people of Liyue may benefit!

As a result, Li Yue had just returned to the Hall of Rebirth when she saw Gan Yu.

"Lord Rock King, you're back."

"Hmm? Gan Yu, what brings you here? Do you need to see Zhong Li?"

Li Yue greeted her very politely. This former secretary of the Seven Stars was now the Seven Warriors of Liyue, responsible for diplomatic oversight.

Because of Li Yue's system, Gan Yu stepped down from her position as the Seven Star Secretary and was put in charge of supervising diplomacy. Her workload dropped drastically, and she became so free that she could go shopping every day. The price, as I said before, was that the Seven Stars became even busier.

When Gan Yu had some free time, she would occasionally come to the Hall of Rebirth to chat with the Emperor. Of course, she would avoid Xian Yun when she came; she wouldn't come if Xian Yun was there.

Today, Xianyun disappeared somewhere. When Li Yue saw Gan Yu coming over, she immediately assumed that Gan Yu had come to see Zhong Li again.

"Lord Rock King, I apologize for disturbing you. I did come to see Mr. Zhongli, but it seems that Mr. Zhongli is not here."

Gan Yu bowed slightly with great politeness, then took out a document from behind her back and handed it to Li Yue.

"It would be perfect if Lord Rock King were here. You mentioned before that if we couldn't find Mr. Zhongli, we could consult you."

"This time it involves diplomatic matters that require Mr. Zhongli's attention. Unfortunately, Mr. Zhongli is not here. Could you please handle it? The matter is quite significant and involves General Naxida."

"Hmm? Nasita is involved?"

Li Yue was a little curious. What could Naxida possibly have to do? After glancing at the documents in Gan Yu's hand, Li Yue casually waved her hand.

"Just tell me directly, I can't read."

"Uh, I'm so sorry, I forgot about that."

Gan Yu bowed her head in apology, then opened the documents and began her report.

"This document is a letter from the State of Sumeru."

"A letter from Mount Sumeru?"

"Yes, it is a letter from the Sumeru Religious Academy."

The Order of Religion? And it's related to Nasita. Li Yue seemed to understand what the letter was about.

"Tell me what's inside."

"The great sage Azhar of Mount Sumeru paid his respects to the new Rock King, but in addition to expressing his respect, they also said..."

Gan Yu looked somewhat embarrassed as she said this.

"What else did you say?"

"The girl named Nashida on the wanted poster we issued in Liyue is actually a Sumerian. They apologize for the trouble the Sumerians have caused Liyue, but they also hope that if Liyue captures this criminal, they will hand her over to the Sumerians. The Sumerians are willing to pay the bounty on Nashida's head."

After Gan Yu finished speaking, she closed the file and looked at Li Yue, waiting for Li Yue's response.

Li Yue tilted her head and looked at Gan Yu.

"Gan Yu, when did this document arrive?"

"It arrived yesterday, but because Qixing couldn't make a decision, Keqing handed the documents to me this morning. I was still undecided, so I came to see Mr. Zhongli. And then it turned out as you see."

"How did they know about Nasita's arrest warrant? And they knew about Nasita's arrest warrant, but they didn't know that we had already canceled the warrant for Nasita long ago. Now Nasita is one of our top generals."

"This should have happened around the time the wanted poster was issued. Someone passed the wanted poster out of Liyue Harbor. As for how it was passed to Sumeru, the land route to the Laminaria is currently blocked due to the Laminaria problem, but the sea route is still open. Someone probably took a ship from Liyue Harbor to Ormus Harbor."

Gan Yu recalled the days when the city was under lockdown.

"Although the city was under lockdown at the time, a few merchant ships did leave the port at the beginning, probably those few merchant ships."

"As for why they don't know that Miss Nasita has become a general of Liyue, it's probably because the follow-up information hasn't been transmitted yet. According to the voyage from Liyue Port to Ormos Port, it takes a long time to travel back and forth. From the time the wanted notice was transmitted to Sumeru, and then the Sumeru Order Institute issued the official letter from Ormos Port to Liyue Port, the time was just right."

Gan Yu has been in office for thousands of years and knows these things very well, so he easily explained the reason.

"By now, the follow-up information should have been passed on, which means that the Order should already know that Narcida has not only not become a wanted criminal, but has even become an admiral of Liyue."

"That's going to be interesting."

In Teyvat, the transmission of information takes time; without radio, messages can only be transmitted by manpower.

The Order of the Liyue probably sent out this letter of credence a few days ago demanding Narcida's return, but three or four days later, they were informed that Narcida was not only not a wanted criminal, but had even become a high-ranking official in Liyue. However, their letter of credence had already been sent out, and now, some people in the Order of the Liyue are probably starting to get anxious.

"Lord Rock King, how should we respond to this document?"

Li Yue thought for a moment, recalling what kind of awesome Sumeru was now.

"Gan Yu, could you please gather the three generals and the seven martial arts masters, as well as the seven stars of Liyue, for a meeting?"

"Huh? Should we gather everyone here at once?"

Gan Yu was somewhat surprised. This was a gathering of all the high-ranking officials in Liyue. A erroneous letter of state, while not a small matter, shouldn't be so serious that it warranted a meeting of all the high-ranking officials in Liyue, right?

But Li Yue looked serious.

"That's right, let's gather everyone here. This matter is extremely important; it concerns the future of Liyue!"

139. My daughter Naxida has the appearance of a grass goddess!

The backyard of the Rebirth Hall, which used to be a place where only three or four people would occasionally sit and drink tea, is now full of people.

In the place where Zhongli and his companions usually drink tea, four people are sitting. The one in the lead is the newly appointed Rock King, Li Yue, and the other three are the three generals of Liyue, including Zhongli.

Behind General Zhongli stood seven figures, the Seven Archangels of the Kingdom who had not been in office for long. Opposite the Seven Archangels were the Liyue Seven Stars, the high-ranking officials of Liyue Harbor. Although only four of them came, only three of them were Seven Stars: Keqing of Yuheng Star, Ningguang of Tianquan Star, the old man of Tianshu Star, and Yelan, a special person.

Ningguang, who usually stands at the front, is now standing behind Keqing and Tianshu, alongside Yelan.

Li Yue's previous blatant denigration made her realize that she had tested the wrong person, and now she just wants to keep a low profile as much as possible.

As for where the remaining seven stars are, Li Yue doesn't know, nor can she know.

All eyes were now focused on the stone table around which Li Yue and the three generals sat, with a document placed in the center of the table.

"Everyone, do you know what this is?"

"It is the letter from the Kingdom of Sumeru that I submitted to Gan Yu this morning."

Ke Qing answered first.

"The letter from Mount Sumeru?"

Naxida perked up at the mention of Sumeru. This goddess of Sumeru had been away from Sumeru for some time now, but it was a worthwhile departure. It was because she met the Wind God and the Rock God, her predecessors, and had the Great Tree King by her side. This was much better than being locked up in the Pure Good Palace and doing nothing.

“That’s right, it’s a letter from Sumeru, written by the Great Sage himself. What surprised me was that Sumeru seemed to have made a mistake and took the previous arrest warrants for me, Zhongli, and Naxida seriously. The Great Sage there sent a letter to us, wanting to ask us to return the prisoner Naxida that we captured.”

After hearing Li Yue's words, Ningguang lowered her head slightly, trying her best to hide behind Uncle Tian. Naxida, on the other hand, widened her eyes in surprise. The Order of the Fathers actually wanted to take her, and as a prisoner, without revealing her identity as the Grass God. Did the Order of the Fathers still not want to acknowledge her?

After Li Yue finished speaking, she looked at Zhong Li.

"Zhongli, what do you think?"

Ok?

Zhongli couldn't help but tilt his head back. "You're asking me about this?"

"This must be because they received the wrong information. The identities of our three generals of Liyue have already been made public, so they should receive the corresponding information later, and the misunderstanding should be cleared up then."

“That’s right, Gan Yu thinks so too. They had a misunderstanding due to a time error, which led to the issuance of this erroneous letter of state.”

"Yes, that's what I think."

Gan Yu nodded behind Zhong Li, and Wendy spread her hands, with a wine bottle even on her right hand.

"Since you, Li Yue, have reached a consensus with Gan Yu, this letter of state should be easy to handle. There's no need to call all of us over."

"Of course, I didn't call you over because of this."

Li Yue patted the table.

“Your attention is all on this letter of state, but my attention is on the god of grass.”

Ok?

Naxida looked at Li Yue, "Grass God, what does this have to do with the Grass God?"

"What does this have to do with the Grass God?"

The outspoken Keqing asked the question on Naxida's behalf.

"Do you remember the responses from other countries after we issued our credentials?"

Li Yue looked at Gan Yu, who was in charge of diplomacy and knew the most about this matter.

"The Water Goddess of Fontaine responded and offered her congratulations. The Ice Queen of Winterfell also sent a letter of response from the Fatui Enforcers. The Church of Favonius in Mondstadt sent its congratulations in the name of the Wind God. Due to special circumstances, Inazuma and Nata have not yet responded. As for Sumeru's letter of response, this is what we see here."

“That’s right. Apart from Inazuma and Nata, who haven’t responded yet, the other countries have basically responded in the name of God or the God himself. But Sumeru’s response was from the Great Sage Azar of the Faith Council, and he didn’t mention the Grass God at all. Do you know what that means?”

The three generals present remained silent, as did the immortals. It was Keqing who, after seeing everyone around her in silence, finally spoke.

"I don't quite understand."

"Don't you understand, Ke Qing? What is my identity now?"
