Starry Sky Railway Travel Agency, popularizing Destiny in Genshin Impact.

Yanqing said.

"So, it's for fame?"

Jingliu asked.

Yanqing: "It is also to respond to the general's expectations and to repay his kindness in teaching me the skills."

Jingliu: "So, it's for the sake of friendship."

Yanqing shook her head and continued:

"That's not all. One day, I will go on an expedition with my brothers in the Cloud Cavalry."

"To protect the immortal ship Luofu, to slay enemies and quell troubles, to be loyal to the alliance, and to patrol the four directions, is to make my skills worthwhile."

Jingliu: "In the end, it's all for loyalty and righteousness."

[True Lord Liuyun Borrowing the Wind: Yanqing, you certainly have some good ideals.]

[Morax: Yes, it's truly admirable that someone so young possesses such purity and determination. General Jingyuan has found a fine disciple.]

[North Wind Wolf King: Although the voice is familiar to that person, their code of conduct is completely different.]

[Barbatos: Hey, are you talking about me?]

As the Teyvats marveled at Yanqing's words, Jingliu looked at Keqing again.

"Then why do you want to learn swordsmanship? You must have your own reasons for seeking me out to learn swordsmanship."

Jingliu asked.

Although Keqing was very weak in her eyes, she relied heavily on the light cone that Luo Feng had given her when she swung her sword.

However, Jingliu was somewhat interested in Keqing's courage to seek her out to learn swordsmanship and the determination Keqing showed when facing enemies.

"Me..." Ke Qing looked at the longsword in her hand and murmured:

"I learned swordsmanship and everything else in order to pave a new path for the transition I was in."

Jingliu: "Is that so?"

Not far away, Ningguang frowned deeply, about to speak up and stop Keqing.

She knew some of Ke Qing's thoughts, but these disrespectful ideas about the Emperor were not suitable to be said in the live broadcast.

Unfortunately, Luo Feng saw through Ning Guang's movements. He raised his hand, pressed down on Ning Guang's shoulder, and shook his head at her.

Ningguang frowned, looking at Xiao who was watching quietly to the side with some concern.

At this moment, Keqing took a deep breath, and with a determined look in her eyes, she said to Jingliu:

"In my kingdom of Liyue, I am one of the seven stars who govern the country."

"The Seven Stars of Liyue keep a close eye on all matters, big and small, in Liyue and are dedicated to governing this country."

"However, the gods of Liyue descend only once a year to point out the strategy for the following year."

"Although a thousand years of history have proven that following in the footsteps of emperors is the right thing to do, I believe that people should also have their own pride, and people's ideas should be valued as well."

Jingliu crossed his arms and said:

"So, you're saying your country doesn't actually need gods?"

Upon hearing this, Ke Qing shook her head repeatedly:

"No, I never meant that. In fact, it is because of the Emperor that Liyue has developed into what it is today."

"I just feel that humans shouldn't just get used to listening to the voice of gods and relying on their power."

"It is a mistake to merely live under the protection of gods and never take the initiative to think about the future of humanity."

"Many times, we can completely rely on our own strength to forge a different path."

"Especially after we learn about all sorts of things in the universe, we should consider relying on ourselves more."

"It is definitely not the right thing to do to place all your hopes on the Emperor."

There are many powerful beings in the universe, and even the gods of Teyvat might not be able to defeat them.

Under these circumstances, Keqing felt even more strongly that she shouldn't place all her hopes for protecting Liyue on the Geo Archon.

As a member of Liyue, and as someone who was fortunate enough to obtain a ticket to the Rohing train, Keqing believes she has an obligation to contribute to the development and protection of Liyue.

[Uncle Tian: As expected, you said it.]

[BeiDou: Keqing is still the same as always.]

[True Lord of Die Shui and Li Shan: Disrespectful to the Emperor!]

[True Lord of the Moonlit Sword: One of the Seven Stars of Liyue actually has such thoughts?!]

[Grandma Ping: Alright, alright, no need for such a strong reaction. Keqing is only doing this for Liyue's own good. Besides, the Emperor didn't say anything, did he?]

[Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun: But no matter what, Ke Qing's treatment of the Emperor was far too disrespectful.]

Morax: It's alright, I don't care about that.

Morax, disguised as Zhongli, entered Liyue. How could he not know Keqing's thoughts about the Geo Archon presiding over Liyue?

He already greatly admired some of Ke Qing's ideas, so naturally he didn't say anything more.

Although he has no immediate plans to retire, he would be very happy to see humanity rely less on itself.

Beside Luo Feng, Xiao saw the message from the Rock King Emperor and suppressed his emotions slightly, continuing to watch the conversation between Keqing and Jingliu.

"So, the reason you learned swordsmanship is that you hoped to open up a new path that doesn't rely entirely on the gods."

After listening to Keqing's explanation, Jingliu spoke up.

The former Jingliu also held Xunlie Lan in high esteem.

However, now, in order to defeat the Abundant Pharmacist, she has other ideas about Hunting Storm.

Keqing's attitude towards her own god earned her some favor with Jingliu.

"exactly."

Keqing nodded emphatically.

"Um, Master Jingliu, why are you asking these questions?"

"And what are you wielding your sword for now?"

Yanqing came to Keqing's side and asked Jingliu curiously.

Upon hearing this, Jingliu paused, and some past events surfaced in his mind.

"Like you, I was once bound by fame and fortune, but I stood firm for friendship and loyalty."

"But they all eventually drifted away from my sword."

As she spoke, the blindfold on Jingliu's face fell off, revealing her incredibly scarlet eyes.

Ke Qing and Yan Qing were startled and unconsciously took a step back.

Jingliu's lips curled into a maniacal smile as he spoke in a passionate tone:

"Because a sword is a sword; it is a weapon that can sever life and death."

"It is so pure that it cannot tolerate any external influences."

A powerful killing intent, accompanied by a chilling aura, emanated from Jing Liu and swept across the surrounding land.

Before Yanqing and Keqing's eyes, everything around them seemed to be frozen and paused by Jingliu's murderous aura and coldness.

"Only by traversing the fiery path of anger, the knife-like path of greed, and the bloody path of ignorance, and cutting through all obstacles... can you understand why you wield your sword."

"I wield my sword to kill the enemy, nothing more."

"Mirror Flow said."

[Xingqiu: Hiss... I never expected that Jingliu would only wield his sword to kill enemies!]

[Kaeya: No wonder she looks so murderous; she must have been through a lot.]

[Yae no Miko: What she experienced was probably some very tragic things.]

[Doctor: Whether it's Blade or this Mirror Style, they are all people with a strong desire to kill. This is what swordsmen are like.]

Speaking of which, if blades possess immortality, could this Mirror Style practitioner also be immortal?

Jingliu took two steps forward, raising his ice sword and pointing it at Keqing and Yanqing.

"Then, let's continue, you two."

"Mirror Flow said."

Ke Qing: "Continue?"

Yanqing: "Continue with what?"

"Of course, we should keep fighting!"

"Mirror Flow said."

"But now the enemy has already fallen."

Yanqing was puzzled.
