Star Train: Go crazy, all of you go crazy!

Seeing this, Hu Tao felt sleepy all of a sudden.

"Mmm, time to sleep."

..............

at the same time.

Liyue Harbor, Northern Bank.

The lady kicked open the door to the young master's room and stormed in angrily.

"Dartaria! The mission hasn't made any progress at all, and you're having the nerve to take a nap?"

The young master was just about to take a nap when the lady's shout woke him up completely.

"Rosalyn? It's you."

The woman walked over and sat down on a chair.

"Why are you taking a nap? I don't remember you ever doing this before."

"Young Master said."

"I don't know either. I don't know when I developed this habit since I came to Liyue."

You know what, taking a nap really makes you feel so much more energetic in the afternoon.

The lady glared at the young man.

"Tell me, how's the situation here? Her Majesty the Queen sent me here to take over."

Upon hearing this, the young master thought for a moment and then spoke.

"The Rock King is so elusive that I can't even see him. A few days ago, I sent someone to investigate the Liyue Immortals."

The situation is very troublesome; none of those who went to Jueyun Pass in search of immortals have returned.

Upon hearing this, the woman frowned.

"Didn't any of them come back?"

The young master nodded.

"Hmm, not a single one."

However, there's no need to rush. Tomorrow is the annual Immortal Invocation Ceremony, where we can meet the Rock King Emperor at the Immortal Invocation Platform.

The woman nodded slightly.

At this moment, the lady noticed the wound on the young man's face.

"You got into a fight? Who from Liyue?"

Upon hearing this, the young master explained.

"A few new friends, one of whom you should know, is Hu Tao, the head of the Wangsheng Hall."

As for the others, we couldn't find any information about them in our intelligence network.

My guess is that he might be a disciple of a deity.

The disciples of the Liyue Seraph follow the Liyue Seraphs in their training and spend long periods of time in the mountains.

That's why none of us have their information.

Upon hearing this, the lady nodded slightly, agreeing with the young master's reasoning.

"Are those immortal disciples very powerful?"

Upon hearing this, the young master gave a wry smile.

"It's more than just impressive; I was no match for them at all. They weren't even serious when I was already down, without a single ounce of strength to fight back."

Fortunately, I have a pretty good relationship with them; we just exchange ideas and stop when we've reached a point.

To be honest, I had someone else pay their bills in Liyue Harbor.

I was thinking of building good relationships with them to see if I could find out any information about the Rock King.

Upon hearing this, the woman fell into deep thought.

Although she considered herself powerful, she was also aware of the young master's strength.

Moreover, this guy is a martial arts fanatic; if he says the opponent is strong, then they must be very strong.

It seems the waters of Liyue are deeper than those of Mondstadt.

"Have someone compile a summary of the intelligence we've gathered recently and give it to me. I'll take over the affairs of Liyue."

"By the way, could you go to the talisman factory and check on how the talisman production is going?"

Upon hearing this, the young master looked resistant.

"Hey, hey, hey~ Although Her Majesty the Queen has put you in charge of Liyue's affairs, I'm at least on the same level, right?"

Go by yourself, I have things to do this afternoon.

After saying that, the young master got up and walked outside.

Seeing this, the lady snorted coldly, ignored the young man, and turned to attend to her own business.

at the same time.

Inside the Jade Pavilion above Liyue Harbor.

Ye Lan lay on her side on the couch, propping her head up with one hand and holding her phone in the other.

“Ningguang, that woman from the Fools just entered the Northern Bank.”

Ningguang put down her pipe upon hearing this.

"Oh? Madam? Is she the one who attacked the Wind God mentioned in the letter from the band leader?"

Ye Lan nodded slightly.

"That's right, it's her."

Judging from her appearance, she's probably here to take over the young master's task.

Ningguang smiled upon hearing this.

"Taking over the young master's affairs? That's a bit of a pity. The young master is such a good person."

He contributes a lot of Mora to Liyue every day, and he doesn't do anything underhanded.

What a pity.

Ye Lan smiled.

"It is indeed a pity. Should we report this to the Emperor?"

After all, this woman attacked the wind god.

One should always be wary of others.

Ningguang pondered for a moment upon hearing this.

"I will report to the Emperor tomorrow regarding the ceremony for inviting the immortals."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lan nodded slightly.

"Well, madam, I'll keep an eye on her myself. I want to see what kind of trouble she can stir up."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Lan stood up and left Qunyu Pavilion.

...............

at the same time.

Ye Yun inside the carriage.

Zhongli and Ye Yun sat down at the coffee table.

Zhongli glanced at the starry sky outside the window and then turned to look at Ye Yun.

"Ye Yun, let me ask you a question. Tell me, should I step down from my divine position and return Liyue to its people?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun shook his head.

This is inappropriate.

Zhongli, do you think the people of Liyue can survive safely without your protection because you want to step down from your divine position?

Zhongli nodded slightly.

"Ok.

Having led Liyue for thousands of years, Liyue is now the strongest nation on the Teyvat continent.

"My duties are complete; perhaps it's time for me to step down from my divine position."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Zhongli, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you haven't considered things thoroughly enough."

Let me tell you something.

First, can you guarantee that future Liyue Seven Stars will still be as dedicated to building Liyue as the current Liyue Seven Stars are?

Can you guarantee that?

I'm sure you've seen corruption before, and quite a lot of it.

Zhongli nodded slightly.

"Yes, I have personally executed several corrupt and degenerate Seven Stars."

Ye Yun nodded.

That's right.

Let me tell you something else, something called "human nature".

Human beings are both great and evil.

They certainly possess extraordinary creativity, but they also have unparalleled destructive power.

Let's talk about our world.

In this world, in places we cannot see, wars are happening all the time. To put it bluntly, the root of these wars can be summed up in two words: "interests".

Whether it was a rebel army rising up against a tyrant or a regular army suppressing a rebellion.

Or perhaps it's a war between planets.

It's all about "interests".

The rebels fight for survival, the regular army fights for glory, and the planets and the major powers fight for resources.

Your current position in Liyue is like a Damocles' sword hanging over the head of every Liyue resident.

Your existence has taught the people of Liyue one thing: if they do something wrong, it can really be fatal.

If you step down from your divine position, your lingering influence will remain for a short period, and some people won't harbor any ulterior motives.

But as generation after generation passed away, the people of Liyue who came after never saw you; they only heard your stories.

Some people will definitely start to doubt your existence.

Once this seed is planted, it will be impossible to stop it.

They realized that the sword hanging overhead wouldn't fall.

They will then start to have inappropriate thoughts.

At that time, Liyue will be thrown into turmoil, and an internal war will break out.

What do you think will happen to Liyue?

I have a question for you: Do you believe you can lead Liyue well?

Zhongli nodded slightly.

"Of course, I will do my best to lead Liyue's development."

Ye Yun nodded and continued to ask.
