"Young Master Ye Luo, please come in!"

When Keqing saw Ye Luo come in, she immediately stood up to greet him with a smile on her face.

Ye Luo also gave a polite smile in return: "Master Keqing, it has been a long time since we parted at Qingxupu."

Keqing smiled and said, "You are a very busy person, always rushing to do anything for Liyue. It is me, the "Yuheng Star" of the "Seven Stars of Liyue", who is becoming less and less capable than you."

Ye Luo waved his hand hurriedly: "Master Keqing, please stop teasing me. Brother Qianyanjun said that you had something urgent to talk to me about, so I hurried over here."

Keqing sighed softly: "Actually, I think you should already know why I called you here in such a hurry, right?"

Ye Luo hesitated for a moment and said, "I dare to guess, is it related to the supernatural events in recent days and the panic of the people?"

Keqing nodded confidently. "Yes, that's right. I know you are well-informed and must have known about this. In fact, I sent someone to look for you this morning, but I couldn't find you. I guessed at the time that you might have already gone to investigate."

Ye Luo smiled generously: "You are right, I really went to the place where a supernatural incident happened this morning, and I have solved the problem."

"What! So fast!" Keqing was dumbfounded and looked at Ye Luo in surprise.

Ye Luo was a little surprised: "Your answer was "so fast" instead of "Is it true?" This is a little unbelievable to me."

Keqing shook her head. "I know you are a man of your word and you won't lie to me, so if you say you have solved the problem, then it must have been solved."

"I'm just curious, what method did you use? You were able to solve the problem so quickly."

Ye Luo and Keqing sat opposite each other. Ye Luo respectfully took the tea handed to him by the secretary, took a sip, and explained calmly.

"It's the stone lion in the river. It's not a supernatural event, it's just a natural phenomenon. It did go upstream on its own, but the force of the water backwash and the sand caused the stone lion to roll from downstream to upstream step by step, so it's not a supernatural event at all."

After Ye Luo's reminder, Keqing slapped her forehead and said, "Oh, how could I, who has been responsible for mapping the geographical features of Liyue, forget even such basic common sense?"

Ye Luo comforted him, "Actually, I can understand you. There have been too many supernatural events during this period, and the people are in a panic. I guess you are too concerned and too focused on the keyword "supernatural", so you ignore these basic issues."

Keqing blushed: "I feel really guilty."

"We will continue to investigate the remaining matters, but..."

Ye Luo said: "A hen turned into a rooster, a phoenix appeared in the sky, a red light turned green, a sedan chair was carried by paper men and straw horses, and blood spurted out of a well. At first glance, these problems do not seem to be natural phenomena. If we do not investigate them carefully, I am afraid they will really be treated as supernatural events."

Keqing asked quickly: "How do you plan to investigate? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Ye Luo shook his head: "This matter should not be publicized too much. If too many people know about it, and something unexpected happens later, it will only make people who are already uneasy even more confused."

"My personal suggestion is that the Qianyan Army only needs to continue to calm the people's emotions. As for the number of people investigating this matter, the fewer the better. In my opinion, let me continue to lead Master Hu and Chongyun and a few others to deal with this matter quietly."

Keqing said: "But we can't just sit there and do nothing and leave this matter to you. If there is anything you need my help with, or if there is anything you need from Yujingtai, please feel free to ask. We will do our best to help you."

Ye Luo smiled slightly: "Master Keqing is thoughtful. We are so familiar with each other. If there is anything I need help with, I will definitely not be polite to you."

Keqing felt relieved when she heard this, and said, "I feel much more relieved after hearing your words. I have asked someone to prepare food, let's eat first."

"It is my honor to have the opportunity to have lunch with Lady Keqing."

"Hey, Ye Luo! Stop teasing me. It's not like we haven't had meals together like this before when we were at sea. Why are you talking about honor or not?"

When talking about the sea, some not-so-pleasant memories suddenly came to their minds, causing them to droop their lips and lower their heads tacitly.

"Two months have passed in a flash. Xu Cheng was executed, the pirates were detained, and the sea finally had a rare peace. However... Yu Qing, Pang Zuo, and so many Qianyan soldiers and secretaries can only stay there forever..."

Ye Luo sighed: "I'm so sorry... but there's nothing I can use to commemorate them. I can only let "Liyue Harbor" be filled with poppies, which seems to be just my wishful thinking."

Keqing nodded: "They have not been forgotten. There are traces of their existence left in this world. This can be said to be a comfort to me."

Soon, a table of dishes was served. Keqing wiped her tears and smiled: "Let's not talk about this heavy topic. Young Master Ye Luo, you must be starving. Let's eat quickly."

Ye Luo also naturally went down the steps given by Keqing, and moved the "golden shrimp balls" placed in the middle of the table in front of Keqing.

"I know Lady Keqing likes to eat this. If there is a chance, I would also like to treat you to some of my favorite snacks when I was a child. Maybe you will like it too."

Keqing's face flushed red at that moment: "Young Master Ye Luo also knows that I like to eat "Golden Shrimp Balls", but I don't remember telling you..."

Ye Luo realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly said, "I also heard about it from others. You went to Wanmin Hall to eat this dish, so I have heard a little about it."

Keqing smiled and said, "What was your favorite snack when you were a child? I'm actually curious, are the snacks in your hometown completely different from those in Liyue?"

Ye Luo thought about it carefully and said, "Of course there are some differences, but generally speaking, they are not that different. In fact, my hometown and Liyue cannot be said to be exactly the same, but they are not too different either."

Keqing was very excited: "If I have the chance, I would also like to visit your hometown...see the scenery I have never seen before."

Ye Luo hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "If there is a chance, let's go together."
