He changed Tiwat

Gan Yu looked at Han Fulai.

"Miss Gan Yu, what kind of person is Huixin, the daughter of Tian Shu Xing Yun Tian?"

Chapter 44 Gan Yu's Teachings (Third Update, Bounty Returned 1)

“Huixin.” Gan Yu tilted her head, and stopped writing with her brush. “When she was little, her mother often brought her to Yuehai Pavilion to play.”

“Back then, she called me… called me ‘Aunt Gan Yu,’” Gan Yu recalled. “Because her parents were used to calling me ‘Sister Gan Yu,’ and since I was her parents’ older sister, it was natural to call me Aunt. But after she grew up, she became much more distant from me. Time flies so fast; twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.”

"As for what kind of person Xiao Huixin is... in my opinion, she's a lot like her father. Although she always says that she wants to learn from her mother and not take over her father's job, her style of doing things always unconsciously carries her father's shadow. She has also learned the methods of a businessman very well. After all, Liyue is ruled by businessmen, so it's not surprising that this is the case."

“However, I still believe that Xiao Huixin is serious. She may be one of the few young people in Liyue who truly wants to do things for Liyue. With her status, her father is Tian Shu Xing and her mother is the Executive Deputy Secretary-General of Yue Hai Ting. It would have been easy for her to enter Yue Hai Ting through internal recommendation, but she still wanted to be selected through a fair and square examination, which is enough to show her determination,” Gan Yu said.

"Wait a minute...aren't all the civil servants in Liyue supposed to have passed the unified exam?" Han Fulai noticed something different from what he had assumed.

"Of course not?" Gan Yu looked at Han Fulai strangely. "Yuehaiting only recruits 2 to 3 people through exams each year. Yuehaiting has a total of 318 employees. Even if they recruit 3 people every year, it would take 100 years to recruit them, right? Excluding me, do you see any employees here who look over 100 years old?"

"No, no, Miss Gan Yu is forever young!" Han Fulai quickly replied, and after a quick calculation in his mind, he instantly understood many things that he had not thought of before.

If Huixin's hostility towards him stems not only from jealousy but also from dissatisfaction with the corrupt aspects of the Liyue system, then he understands.

Everyone knows how difficult the Liyue civil service exam is, and Han Fulai has experienced it firsthand. A solid foundation, a good education, and sufficient knowledge are all indispensable. Benefiting from China's higher education system and further supported by his research in the original world, Han Fulai was able to achieve this score, but not everyone in Liyue has such advantages.

Han Fulai had no connections in Liyue and had been unknown until now. However, he scored an absurdly high score on the civil service exam. Coupled with Ningguang's public invitation and Ganyu's appointment of him across ranks, it was only natural that Han Fulai was considered to have been promoted to the position of Vice Minister of Moonsea Pavilion through connections and formalities.

He recalled the looks he received when shaking hands with his colleagues at Yuehai Pavilion earlier that day. It wouldn't be surprising if his colleagues, who had managed to get into Yuehai Pavilion after ranking in the top three but were only given low-level jobs, were dissatisfied with him, thinking that he had only gone through the motions of taking the exam, that someone had leaked the questions to him, or that his results were rigged.

When Han Fulai was a student, he had seen the children of faculty and staff being treated differently by teachers and classmates when they entered school. For example, in his honors class, there was a daughter of the academic director who got into the honors class on her own merit, but most of the students always thought she got in through connections and were quite unfriendly to her.

Of course, exam results will become clear after taking them multiple times. However, civil servants often spend eight to ten years accumulating seniority, making it difficult to demonstrate their abilities and inevitably leading to suspicion.

Furthermore, Han Fulai himself knew that Ningguang's preferential treatment of him was not simple; Gan Yu and Zhong Li were definitely involved. Given the circumstances, it wasn't entirely unfounded for others to gossip about him.

—Looking at it this way, isn't Huixin herself the same? No wonder other candidates were whispering about her scores when the results were released.

Come to think of it, he had deliberately used Ningguang's influence earlier. Whether it was loudly telling Jinzhong to stop or deliberately asking Sheng Jinyong and Xu Cheng about their origins with a vengeful look, his intention was to attract the attention of those nearby. As the head of Liyue's intelligence and decision-making body, Ningguang had eyes and ears all over Liyue Harbor, and he was saying all this to Ningguang.

Although he wasn't entirely sure of his true value to Ningguang, he understood the principle that networking is essentially an exchange of value. Clearly, Ningguang wouldn't recruit him this morning and then abandon him by evening. Everyone said I should call her Sister Ningguang, so asking her for a favor isn't unreasonable, is it? As long as Ningguang knows about this, his business is Ningguang's business.

Han Fulai thought for a moment and decided to tell Gan Yu everything that had just happened. After all, since he had mentioned his identity as Gan Yu's personal secretary and used Ningguang's influence, Gan Yu would find out about this sooner or later.

After listening, Gan Yu nodded, then shook her head.

“Mr. Han, what you did was right, but not entirely right. But you can’t be entirely blamed for this, because you’re new to Liyue and there are many things you don’t know yet.”

"Please enlighten me, Miss Gan Yu," Han Fulai said sincerely.

"The Rock King Emperor has the appearance of 'unmoving black stone,' which refers to the fact that during the era of the war between demons and gods, the Emperor displayed boundless killing intent. He was clear in his judgments and never made a mistake; even when old friends turned against him, he showed no mercy. The Emperor once taught me that once you decide to take action, you should not leave the enemy any chance to escape."

“Mr. Han, you are too merciful. If I were you, I would definitely beat those guys up first and then hand them over to the Qianyan Army for questioning. I know your strength, Mr. Han, and you should use it when necessary. I have a junior sister who often says that as long as you bang people’s heads on the floor three times, they will all obey you.”

No, no, no, there are too many of them, I can't beat them at all! Han Fulai thought to himself.

"Furthermore, Mr. Han, you shouldn't have let Sheng Jinyong go, nor should you have only let Jin Zhong handle this matter. If you thought of letting Miss Ningguang know about this, you should have thought that if you had delayed any longer, Miss Ningguang would definitely have sent someone to personally inquire about it."

“Miss Ningguang’s private secretary, Baiwen, has just become the executive deputy director of Baishui Hall today. It’s the perfect time for him to establish his authority, and he will surely suffer more losses. Miss Ningguang already has business conflicts with Maocai Gong, and she can use this matter to personally put pressure on Maocai Gong and force him to give up more assets. Now that we’ve let him go, he can just say it was a misunderstanding, apologize, and that’s it. There’s nothing you can do about it.”

"But it's alright, I have a very good memory," Gan Yu said earnestly, her tone gentle. "If we have the chance in the future, we can just drive the Mao Cai family out of Liyue again. By the way, we can't give all of Mao Cai's property to Miss Ningguang; we at Moonsea Pavilion should keep some for ourselves too."

Wait, wait a minute, I don't think I have that much of a grudge against that young master Sheng. I wouldn't go so far as to ruin his family. How come Gan Yu, you're already planning to confiscate his property... Han Fulai's lips twitched. He suddenly realized that the seemingly gentle and lovely Gan Yu was actually a ruthless person who couldn't be offended.

Han Fulai suddenly felt very safe clinging to Gan Yu's coattails.

Gan Yu seemed to remember something and added, "Also, I'll talk to Huixin's father. Yuntian often tells me he wants to retire because he's worried about his daughter. It seems she really lacks experience. I'll have Huixin recognize you as her uncle, and you can be her direct assistant secretary. Please take good care of her."

Huh? She just screwed me over today, and you still want me to be her boss? And you want me to take care of her? Han Fulai was completely baffled.

Gan Yu sighed to herself, "The Yun family's strategy of using one enemy to devour another cannot be used like this. Merchants are always looking for profit, and it's more painful to see others make money than to see themselves lose money. Yun Tian, ​​on the other hand, is known for his ability to play both sides. He instigates business rivals to fight each other, while he himself reaps the benefits, never giving anyone cause for criticism. As a result, he has become the largest fishing merchant in Liyue Harbor and has become one of the Liyue Seven Stars."

"Xiao Huixin clearly dislikes both Young Master Sheng and you, so she should invite the two of you to dinner and show goodwill to you in front of Young Master Sheng. That way, Young Master Sheng, in order to undermine his rival, will privately cause trouble for you, and it won't have anything to do with her. Her attempt to sow discord in front of you, though she didn't say a word and quickly slipped away, is obvious to anyone with a discerning eye. She's an employee of Yuehaiting, and knowing your identity but deliberately not revealing it, Young Master Sheng is definitely wary of her. If this gets out, it will be difficult for her to use one enemy to defeat another in the future. How will she inherit Yuntian's business like this?"

After making her comments, Gan Yu even shook her head sadly, looking like she thought the child was hopeless.

Han Fulai's face froze. "Gan Yu, what have you been through in these three thousand years?! You said the Qilin is a benevolent beast, so why do you talk about these things so skillfully?!"

Just as Han Fulai was sighing inwardly, Gan Yu spoke solemnly: "Mr. Han, there is something else I must tell you. I am planning to reorganize Yuehaiting."

Chapter 45 For the Day the Emperor Is Gone (Fourth Update, Bounty 2)

Reorganize Yuehaiting? Han Fulai was startled. The structure of Yuehaiting was said to have remained unchanged for a thousand years. Why would Gan Yu suddenly have this idea? Could it be because I transmigrated? Do I have such great influence?

No, no, I can't be too self-conscious; that's just an illusion. Han Fulai mentally berated himself, calmed himself down, and continued listening to Gan Yu.

“You should know that the full name of the Liyue Seven Stars is the ‘Liyue Permanent Council,’ which is mainly composed of seven major merchants in Liyue. They serve as the administrative heads of Liyue and oversee the political affairs of Liyue. Legally, they are merchants and administrative heads, not civil servants of Liyue. The Emperor only provides directional guidance each year and does not interfere in the specific administrative affairs of Liyue. All administrative power in Liyue belongs to the Seven Stars,” Gan Yu said.

Han Fulai nodded; he already knew all this.

"The Eight Gates are the eight specific administrative departments of Liyue, each responsible for a portion of Liyue's operations. The heads of the Eight Gates are all appointed by the Seven Stars. Although some of the Eight Gates heads are former civil servants, they are few in number; most are still Liyue merchants with close ties to the Seven Stars. The heads of the Eight Gates are also the administrative heads of Liyue, authorized by the Seven Stars to oversee their respective departments. Under the heads of the Eight Gates, all are civil servants of Liyue," Gan Yu continued.

Han Fulai continued to nod. Although the game didn't provide much detail, he could guess most of it.

"Then there is our Moonsea Pavilion." Gan Yu paused for a moment and said, "The executive secretary of the Moonsea Pavilion, which is me, is responsible for assisting the administrative affairs of the Liyue Sept. Including myself, all the secretaries of the Moonsea Pavilion are civil servants. In other words, we only have auxiliary functions and no administrative functions."

"Hmm." Han Fulai expressed his understanding, but he just didn't know why Gan Yu was telling him things he already knew. Simply put, the leaders of the Seven Stars and Eight Gates were both merchants and officials, responsible for formulating and issuing policies, while civil servants were all clerks, responsible for implementing policies.

“But things are different now. I’ve obtained personnel authority over Yuehaiting from Miss Ningguang,” Gan Yu said casually.

"Oh, this has..." Han Fulai couldn't understand for a moment. He was about to ask what the difference was when he suddenly realized something. "Wait... Yue Haiting has complete personnel authority?"

“Yes.” Gan Yu nodded. “Although I am subject to the financial allocation from Baishui Hall, I have full personnel authority over Yuehai Pavilion from a legal perspective. That’s why I was able to directly promote you to the position of Executive Vice Minister.”

"So, Miss Gan Yu can now hire whomever she wants to join Yuehaiting, and fire whomever she wants to fire?"

"Yes," Gan Yu smiled.

“In the past, Moonsea Pavilion was just a revolving door. Wealthy merchants and scions of noble families would come in as secretaries, trying every means to obtain all kinds of Liyue-related policies and business information, and to build connections with the Seven Stars and Eight Gates. They would leave as wealthy merchants, administrators of the Eight Gates, or the next Seven Stars. But now, I’m going to stop this revolving door.”

That's why Gan Yu said she was going to reorganize Yuehaiting! Han Fulai suddenly understood what Gan Yu meant.

The Seven Stars are the Chief Executive, but the administrative orders issued by the Chief Executive must be carried out by the civil servants of the Eight Gates and Moon Sea Pavilion. What if these civil servants disobey the Chief Executive or even make things difficult for him?

In the past, although the Moon Sea Pavilion was led by Gan Yu, its main service recipients were still the Seven Stars. Anyone who disobeyed the Seven Stars could be dismissed. Apart from Gan Yu, a special being who had a contract with the Rock King Emperor, the Moon Sea Pavilion was actually still in the hands of the Seven Stars.

But things are different now. With Gan Yu in complete control of personnel, Yuehaiting is now Gan Yu's independent kingdom. Although all the secretaries of Yuehaiting are still nominally loyal to the Seven Stars, in reality they have become loyal to Gan Yu!

Everything requires people to do it. If Qixing issues a policy and Ganyu doesn't implement it, then Qixing's policy is essentially meaningless. In other words, Qixing must consider Ganyu's opinion in everything it decides to do in the future. If Ganyu disagrees, the policy may not be implemented.

"But why is Lady Ningguang willing to give you the authority over personnel matters at Yuehaiting?" Han Fulai asked.

“I traded half of Yujingtai to her,” Gan Yu said softly. “Miss Ningguang obtained three vacant positions as the executive deputy secretary-general of Yuehaiting. Baiwen is the executive deputy head of Baishui Hall, Baixiao is the executive deputy head of Dali Hall, and Baishi is the executive deputy head of Heji Hall. Three of the eight gates now belong to Miss Ningguang.”

"The most important one is the Baishui Hall, which controls the finances. Miss Ningguang has been coveting the Baishui Hall for a long time. In addition, before Maocai Gong retired, he served as the head of the Baishui Hall. Of course, in exchange, Miss Ningguang put in a lot of effort to pass the resolution to transfer personnel power in Yuehai Pavilion."

If they knew how formidable Gan Yu was in private, they definitely wouldn't have agreed to this proposal... No, maybe they agreed because they were afraid of Gan Yu. Han Fulai silently complained.

But why would Gan Yu do such a thing? After receiving Gan Yu's answer, Han Fulai's doubts only intensified. The system of Moon Sea Pavilion and Seven Stars and Eight Gates has been operating for three thousand years, and Gan Yu has been a civil servant for three thousand years. Why did she suddenly think of demanding power to change the Liyue system?

"Miss Gan Yu, may I ask why you want to reorganize Yuehaiting now?" Han Fulai thought for a moment and then asked. Although, in principle, as Gan Yu's personal secretary, he only needed to be her loyal follower and do whatever she asked, he still felt uneasy if he didn't ask this question.

“White Water is a spring, and Mora is the currency. Sometimes it gathers, sometimes it circulates, just like the spring water in Qingce Village, which gathers from all directions and then flows out in all directions. Hence, it is named after the spring water that flows in all directions and never stops. The financial department of Liyue is called White Water Hall,” Gan Yu said. “The most important industry of White Water Hall, and also the most important treasury of Liyue, is the Golden House. All the Mora in the entire Teyvat continent is produced from the Golden House.”

Han Fulai nodded. Of course he knew about the Golden House. Before he transmigrated, he would go to the Golden House every week to beat up the young master.

"The Mora in the Golden House flows like water, endlessly, all thanks to the divine power of the Emperor. Mora is not only a circulating currency but also a precious metal; anyone who sees it can understand its value. Even in the fields of alchemy and metallurgy, Mora exists as an important resource," Gan Yu continued. "As the only mint on the entire Teyvat continent, the Golden House has never stopped producing Mora."

"Until last month."

The Golden House... has stopped producing Mora? And it stopped last month, before he transmigrated?

Han Fulai felt a buzzing in his head. The plot he had relied on to survive this far had completely changed! The Emperor was still on the throne, and just a few days ago he had been drinking and listening to stories with him. But this Emperor—no, Zhongli—had already gone on strike for a month? Zhongli, weren't you slacking off a little too early?

“It’s not certain until we can invite the Immortal Clerk to meet the Emperor.” Gan Yu’s purple eyes flickered. “Therefore, I must prepare early.”

Han Fulai frowned, realizing that the whole matter was unpredictable. Having lost his plot-foresight cheat, he was now basically an ordinary person, and getting involved in this kind of thing was a matter of good or bad.

More importantly, having already signed a contract with Gan Yu and become the executive vice minister of Yuehaiting, he had no choice at all!

"What preparations does Miss Gan Yu mean?" Han Fulai asked.

He knew that he was no longer just a transmigrated office worker, nor just a lucky civil servant who landed a secure job in Liyue, nor simply a personal secretary clinging to Gan Yu's coattails; he was now part of Gan Yu's political power.

“I don’t know when that time will be or what day it will come, but I must be prepared for that day.”

"That day?"

"The day the Emperor is no longer here."

Chapter Forty-Six: The Emperor is Murdered, the Entire Venue is Sealed Off

On the Jade Capital Terrace, before the Yiyan Palace.

If you don't count Ningguang's Jade Pavilion, this is the highest point in Liyue Harbor.

The venue for the annual ceremony to invite the immortals has already been prepared, with clear streams flowing and lotus flowers planted everywhere; the jade square is covered with cloud patterns. Eight black banners stand around the huge square, and in the center stands a huge bronze incense burner. In front of the bronze incense burner is an incense table and offering table, which is full of offerings to pay homage to the Rock King Emperor.

Several dozen feet away from the offering table, there were several rows of seats. These were seats reserved for dignitaries personally invited by the Seven Stars of Liyue, and were also the seats that many merchants in Liyue Harbor were scrambling to secure – the viewing seats.

The first three rows were occupied by wealthy merchants and dignitaries from Liyue Harbor, such as Linlang, the owner of Xigu Residence, and Maocai, the former head of Baishui Hall. Of course, it also included Ganyu, the executive secretary of Yuehai Pavilion, who was always present at the annual Immortal Invitation Ceremony.

As Gan Yu's personal secretary and the executive deputy director of Yuehaiting, Han Fulai, being a civil servant, was not entitled to be in the audience. However, at Ningguang's behest, Gan Yu obtained an invited seat and gave it to Han Fulai. Thus, Han Fulai, dressed in Yuehaiting's blue uniform, sat in the very last row of the audience, literally the last seat of honor.

Beside him stood Bo Lai, the somewhat excited owner of Wanyou Shop. He had been queuing with Ning Guang for three years, offering gifts and intelligence, and had finally secured a seat to participate in the Immortal Invitation Ceremony. Bo Lai was unconsciously shaking his leg, wishing he could leap to the incense table and await the arrival of the Rock King Emperor. Of course, his reason told him that was Ning Guang's seat.

Han Fulai, with his hands on his knees and back ramrod straight, barely touching the seat with his buttocks, adopted a standard, upright posture. However, only Han Fulai himself knew that he was actually observing the square with subtle movements that were difficult for ordinary people to detect.

His gaze swept back and forth among the outermost crowd; he was looking for someone, for the man with blond hair.

The Summoning Ceremony is an annual grand event in Liyue, attracting a large number of spectators, including not only locals but also people from other countries in Teyvat, except for Inazuma, who lives in seclusion.

A company of Chiiwa soldiers, under the command of their instructor Fengyan, formed equally spaced circles, facing away from the central square to maintain order and prevent excited civilians from rushing into the square and disrupting the ceremony.

According to the game's storyline, Han Fulai should have already seen the emergency food supply, Paimon, floating overhead, and a blond traveler, urged on by Paimon, desperately pushing his way through the crowd to the front. Han Fulai even secretly prayed several times, "Not Brother Kong, but Sister Ying," but perhaps because he was a materialist, his prayers weren't sincere enough; not only did Sister Ying not appear, but even Brother Kong didn't show up.

Han Fulai was somewhat disappointed, but not too much, as he had been mentally prepared for this a few days prior. Since the Golden House had ceased production ahead of schedule, it wasn't impossible that the Traveler was currently being digested inside Dvalin's stomach. It was even quite possible that his transmigration had taken the Traveler's place.

Perhaps he'll even see the Geo Archon appear on the Jade Palace in his ethereal form, bouncing around and solemnly announcing the Liyue government's work plan for the new year. Han Fulai actually quite hoped the story would develop this way, so he could continue to happily hold onto his secure civil servant job without having to go through the trouble of preparing for "the day the Archon isn't here" with Gan Yu.

Thinking of this, Han Fulai felt sleepy and couldn't help but want to yawn, but it would be inappropriate in such a public setting, so he forced the yawn back.

Yue Haiting has a great working environment and a good salary. His boss, Gan Yu, is not only beautiful and has a sweet voice, but she is also very caring and always willing to share her knowledge about work. She is also very patient when teaching Yue Haiting, a newcomer. At the same time, Han Fulai also noticed that Gan Yu only gives him a portion of the assigned work. As long as he finishes the work assigned to him, Gan Yu will never force him to work overtime.

The only problem is that Yue Haiting's work never seems to be finished within 8 hours. So Han Fulai has been working overtime these past few days. As a result, he has been suffering from severe sleep deprivation.

Especially last night, in preparation for today's invocation ceremony, Gan Yu suspended all her work and specifically told Han Fulai to get some rest. That was fine; Han Fulai obediently went to the rest room to sleep. The problem was that Gan Yu also came into the rest room with her and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Gan Yu's lounge was furnished like a standard hotel room, with two beds, one for Gan Yu and one for Han Fulai. Gan Yu did sleep sometimes, but she usually went to bed later and woke up earlier than Han Fulai. This meant Han Fulai didn't really feel like he was living with Gan Yu until last night.

As a healthy adult male, Han Fulai listened to Gan Yu's faint breathing and occasional sleep talking, tossing and turning in bed, and finally closed his eyes and counted 18,640 coconut sheep before finally falling asleep for a short while.

Han Fulai thought with a wry smile, "I need to figure out how to get used to living in the same room with Gan Yu, otherwise I'll die from lack of sleep sooner or later."

With a creak, everyone's attention was drawn to Yiyan Palace. The palace doors swung open, and Ningguang, dressed in her finest attire, stepped out with her usual elegant gait, followed by two attendants from Qunyu Pavilion. The annual Immortal Invitation Ceremony was finally about to begin.

Ningguang walked to the incense table, looked up at the sun overhead, and saw that it was already noon.

"The auspicious time has arrived; the ritual to invite the immortals shall begin!"

Ningguang formed a hand seal, her elemental power surging around her, condensing into several yellow gem-like stardust behind her. With a flick of her finger, the stardust rushed into the huge bronze furnace in front of her.

The bronze furnace, resonating with the elemental power of rock, suddenly lit up, emitting a golden light that pierced the sky. Surrounding this golden light, the clear sky above the Jade Capital Platform suddenly churned with swirling clouds, gathering around the golden light like a vortex.

As the clouds gathered, a strong wind swept across the square, howling and rushing.

The wind follows the tiger, the clouds follow the dragon. Those with experience observing such ceremonies, especially the elders of Liyue, know that this is a sign of the Emperor's impending arrival.

Han Fulai stared at the sky with anticipation. This was his first time witnessing Liyue's summoning ceremony live. Even if viewed as a movie, the special effects of the Emperor's entrance were spectacular enough. The swirling clouds gradually thickened and darkened, with what appeared to be thunder and lightning, forming a dark cloud tornado.

Ningguang stood before the incense table, her wine-red eyes fixed on the sky, her expression drastically changed. This wasn't Ningguang's first time presiding over a ceremony to invite the immortals, but she had never seen anything like it before. The crowd watching the ceremony around the square were also buzzing with discussion; the Emperor had always appeared shrouded in auspicious white clouds, never in a black cloud tornado.

This scene inspired Han Fulai to write a poem: "Dark clouds press down on the city, threatening to crush it; armor gleams in the sun, like golden scales."

As if in response to the poem he recited, a golden dragon suddenly appeared from the vortex of dark clouds. Before Han Fulai could see the dragon's appearance clearly, it fell straight to the ground as if it had been thrown down, overturning the bronze incense burner and stirring up a cloud of dust.

Fortunately, Ningguang was highly skilled and retreated as soon as she sensed something was wrong. Since the viewing area was further away from the center of the square, no one was injured.

As the smoke and dust cleared, Ningguang stepped forward, squatted down, and examined the motionless golden dragon lying on the ground. Her expression suddenly turned grim.

Ningguang rose and turned to face the Thousand Rock Army around her, waving her hand and shouting loudly:

"The Emperor has been murdered! Seal off the entire area!"

Chapter Forty-Seven: Stars and Constellations, Heavenly Authority Descends

As Ningguang gave the order, the Thousand Rock Army soldiers responsible for maintaining order followed the command of Instructor Fengyan and divided into three teams: one team guarded the spectators, one team rushed to the foot of Yujingtai to guard the main entrance and exit, and the other team was responsible for searching for any possible assassins.

The distinguished guests in the stands also rose one after another. Although their reactions varied, they were all seasoned businessmen and their emotions remained relatively stable. Some approached Ningguang to inquire about the details, while others prepared to leave, but Ningguang stopped them. Han Fulai noticed that Bo Lai, the owner of Wanyou Shop, sat blankly in place, his face streaked with tears.

The grand ceremony of summoning the immortals, a highlight of Liyue, turned into the assassination attempt on the Geo Archon Morax, something that those present never expected. Morax, the Geo Archon, has existed for over six thousand years and has ruled Liyue as its ruler for over three thousand seven hundred years since its founding.
