Genshin Impact: Return of the Water Queen

"Keqing, don't be anxious. Listen to me."

Ningguang comforted Keqing, and then explained to her, "That Luo Chaya had communicated with the Great Demon Slayer Xiao of Dihua Island. Xiao was very respectful to her in his every move. Her identity is definitely not simple! In addition, the Emperor has been assassinated and Liyue Harbor is in chaos. The relationship between the Seven Stars and the Immortals is very tense at the moment. We need someone who is outside the storm and can talk to the Immortals. Luo Chaya is a good choice. She is not from Liyue, but she has a close relationship with the Immortals."

"Is it appropriate to let an outsider get so deeply involved in the affairs of Liyue Harbor?" Keqing still frowned, thinking about some issues. "After the death of the Emperor, Liyue became a godless country. Stability is needed in all aspects. Liyue now can't stand too much trouble!"

"Don't worry, I know my limits." Ningguang reassured Keqing. With Ye Lan's investigation results and her communication with Luo Chaya yesterday, she knew that the other party was trustworthy.

Keqing looked at Ningguang's smile, then could only sigh, "Well, since you have made up your mind, I won't say anything more. The Fatui seem to be a bit restless recently, do you need to use some tricks?"

"They are a diplomatic mission from Zhidong. It's best not to have a quarrel with them right now. Stabilizing Liyue Harbor is the top priority. As for their little tricks... just give them a warning first. If they don't appreciate it, that's another matter." When Ningguang mentioned the "Fatui", her eyes suddenly became sharp.

This "renowned" organization in mainland China is really hard to like.

If the Liyue Seven Stars were not currently tied up, they would not be allowed to remain restless in Liyue Harbor.

"I understand. I will give you the specific plan details this afternoon." Keqing nodded slightly. As the Yuheng Star of the Seven Stars of Liyue, this was the task she was responsible for.

Gan Yu came in from outside holding a pile of documents and said to Ningguang, "Ningguang, these are all the events caused by the death of the Emperor. According to the rules, they need to be handled by Tianquanxing. I have brought them all here."

“Thank you for your help, Miss Ganyu.” Ningguang nodded, took the document from Ganyu and placed it on her desk.

Gan Yu looked at Ningguang. After a moment's hesitation, she asked the question in her mind, "Ningguang, has the Emperor really passed away?"

Ningguang knew that Ganyu's most admired person was the Rock King Emperor. She couldn't help but sigh and nodded, "Yes, I carefully checked the Emperor's "Immortal Ancestor Transmutation". The old man, the Emperor, has indeed passed away."

The "Immortal Ancestor's Transfiguration" had no breath of life and was a completely dead object. This could only be explained by the Emperor's death. No one could have imagined that this was just a useless incarnation shell that Zhongli had casually dropped from the sky.

Gan Yu's face looked a little ugly. She sighed and said, "I understand... There are still many things in Yujingtai that I need to deal with. I'll leave first."

After watching Ganyu leave the office, Ningguang sighed and said slowly, "Ganyu has always admired and worshipped the Emperor. Now that the Emperor has passed away unexpectedly, it must be a big blow to her."

“Emperor…” Keqing muttered to herself, but soon returned to her usual coldness. She said, “Although I am also very sorry for the departure of the Emperor, now that Liyue has lost its own gods, the era of human rule is bound to come! As the Seven Stars of Liyue, we have more important things to do than grieving!”

“Yes, the Seven Stars of Liyue must shoulder their responsibilities in such troubled times! You go to work and keep a close eye on the situation of the Fatui.” Ningguang nodded slightly and said to Keqing.

"Okay." Keqing nodded and left Ningguang's office.

After the Emperor was assassinated, the Liyue Seven Stars had already started to take action. On the one hand, they maintained the stability and security of Liyue Harbor, and on the other hand, they immediately took control of the power of the entire Liyue Harbor to fill the power vacuum after the Emperor's departure. This was not the idea of ​​their generation of Liyue Seven Stars, but because of the Emperor, only their generation could take action.

After leaving the Jade Pavilion, Luo Chaya came to Liyue Harbor. Today, she was in the mood to take a good look at Liyue Harbor during the day. Compared with Liyue Harbor at night, there were slightly fewer people in Liyue Harbor during the day. However, under the maintenance of the Liyue Seven Stars, the impact of the Emperor's death was not great.

As she was walking around, Luo Chaya got hungry. Qun Yu Pavilion provided her with breakfast, but for her, eating such a small breakfast quickly made her hungry. She didn't know how Ningguang could eat so little and still be energetic in the morning.

Is this a habit developed from being hungry as a child?

Just as Luo Chaya was thinking this, a fragrance mixed with the scent of fireworks drifted over from afar. She quickly caught the smell, her eyes lit up, and she ran directly in the direction where the smell came from.

After turning a corner, Luo Chaya saw a restaurant. Although it was called a restaurant, it was smaller than the Deer Hunter Restaurant, but it was very much in line with Liyue customs. However, this was not what Luo Chaya paid attention to. Her eyes fell on a person at the door of the restaurant.

"Hey, Zhongli, why are you here too? What a coincidence!" Luo Chaya walked up and patted Zhongli on the shoulder. They acted so familiar with each other as if they had known each other for thousands of years, although they had indeed known each other for thousands of years.

We are old colleagues.

Looking around Liyue, the only one who could get along with Zhongli like this, besides her, was the hall master who didn't know the truth.

"It's you. Why are you here?" Zhongli was not surprised to see that the person who tapped his shoulder was Luo Chaya. However, he quickly realized that she should be in jail now. "Are you here again?"

Seeing Zhongli's puzzled expression and the question he asked, Luo Chaya immediately knew what he was thinking. She stretched out a hand, raised it and said, "Stop! I didn't escape from prison. I am now a distinguished guest of Ningguang of Tianquan Star! I live in Qun Yu Pavilion."

"Is that so..." Zhongli breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that. It was good that it wasn't an act of jailbreaking.

"I have also heard of Tianquan Ningguang. She is well versed in business and has a lot of experience in governing Liyue. How did you become her honored guest?"

Luo Chaya spread her hands and said, "It's because of the 'Emperor's death' incident. Yesterday, when I was talking to Xiao outside Liyue Harbor, I was seen by Ningguang's people. She thought that under such circumstances, there would be communication problems between the Liyue Seven Stars and the immortals. It just so happened that I had a special relationship with the immortals and I was not from Liyue, so she planned to let me be the bridge of communication."
