Liyue Harbor was immersed in sorrow. Every household was unwilling to believe the Emperor's passing, yet they were helpless.

It is an indisputable fact that after the death of the Emperor, Liyue has entered the era of human rule.

Outside Yujing Terrace, in the lotus pond pavilion, Nan Zhangsheng and others were eagerly waiting, and while they were waiting, they finally saw the floating stone platform filled with people.

Su Ping was also on the stone platform. After saying goodbye to the other Seven Stars, he walked towards the pavilion outside Yujing Terrace that few people approached.

"Brother Su." Nan Zhangsheng looked at the newcomer, and at the two figures behind him, and waved, "Uncle Tian, ​​and Sister Ganyu, you are here too."

"Come and see what trouble Kaiyang Star is going to make, boy Nan!" Uncle Tian said rudely, because the two have been very familiar with each other in recent years, and joking with each other is a daily routine.

Nan Zhangsheng looked very hurt and said faintly, "Is this how I am in your eyes?"

"What else?" Uncle Tian raised his eyebrows, feeling that he was right.

Nan Zhangsheng ignored the question and turned to look at the young man in yellow, saying, "Brother Su, is the security in Liyue okay?"

"It's okay, everything is normal." Su Ping waved his hand. He didn't believe that everything he had done with due diligence and arrangement could be exploited.

Nan Zhangsheng nodded. He knew that Emperor Yanwang was not dead. He might be watching them discussing this, so he was not worried at all.

But some people don't know this, like Ying and Paimon who are standing by. They are kept in the dark and are still impressed by the efficiency and strong mentality of this group of people.

"You recovered so quickly?" Ying held her chin with one hand, somewhat incredulous.

Paimon half-closed his eyes, "Should I say you are worthy of being a Liyue person?"

Su Ping looked calm and his handsome face was convincing. His words were powerful. "Liyue's ability to deal with crises has always been like this. We strive for efficiency while ensuring safety."

Nan Zhangsheng put his hands behind his back, feeling a little emotional. Liyue has always been like this. Whenever there is danger, people will rush forward one after another, risking their lives and moving forward courageously.

The Contract City has stood for 3,700 years. Apart from the day and night protection of Emperor Rock and the immortals, what is left is the bravery and loyalty of the Thousand Rocks Army, the rigor of the General Affairs Department, and the support of the people.

If the army and the people are united, why worry about failure?

Afterwards, the two groups of people separated, with three people each going to their respective destinations. Su Ping, Tian Shu and Gan Yu returned to the General Affairs Department, while Nan Zhang, Sheng Ying and Paimeng were going to a tavern.

Inside the General Affairs Department, Uncle Tian was sitting at the tea table, enjoying his tea very comfortably. However, he was the only one drinking, while the two people beside him did not move at all.

"Su Ping, Sister Ganyu, why don't you two drink anymore?" Uncle Tian was holding a cup of tea, sipping it, looking a little puzzled.

"I just drank a lot in the Jade Pavilion." Su Ping explained, but there was a thoughtful look between his brows, which made it clear that this was not the reason.

Looking at Ganyu again, she also nodded in agreement, but was also thinking about something, and Duoyuezhirong was no longer at peace.

Uncle Tian had the illusion that he was "abandoned" outside, or that was the current situation. He didn't have time to think about the reason and asked quickly, "What's the matter?"

He looked anxious and his eyes were full of curiosity. He really couldn't stand the way others sat there thinking and anxiously without telling him.

"Tell me what's going on. Even if I can't solve it, it's better than keeping it in." Uncle Tian spoke again, wanting to know what was going on.

The man in yellow and the man with blue hair looked at each other, then looked at the middle-aged figure with white hair, and they both chose their words carefully.

Su Ping said slowly: "I was wondering if I can still call you Sister Gan Yu."

Gan Yu opened her mouth slightly, but said first: "Well, Uncle Tian, ​​please don't use this address anymore in the future, it's not appropriate."

"Ah?" Uncle Tian was overwhelmed and asked in a lost voice, "Just for this?"

"That's right." The answers of the two made Uncle Tian feel helpless again, as if after he solved the mystery, he was told that he was completely wrong. He felt very bored and disappointed.

"In this situation, as the commander-in-chief of the Qianyan Army from Kaiyang Star, are you thinking about this?" Uncle Tian was indignant and scolded directly.

Of course, he didn't dare to do that to Ganyu. After all, the other party was his senior and had taken great care of him. There was no way he could offend this senior.

Su Ping smiled awkwardly and said directly, "Uncle Tian, ​​aren't you also here leisurely drinking tea? You don't seem to be nervous or worried, do you?"

"Hmph, since you Kaiyangxing is here, no matter how worried I, a civil servant, am, it's just groundless worry." Uncle Tian said what he was thinking very bluntly.

In fact, this is true. The Seven Stars can more or less foresee some of the turmoil in Liyue Harbor in the near future, but they firmly believe that with Su Ping and the Kaiyang Star with an amazing record, there will be no problem.

Su Ping shook his head and smiled: "I'm not a panacea, how can you rely on me for everything?"

"That's true, but it doesn't mean it's impossible." Uncle Tian half closed his eyes and said unhappily, "Of course you can be relied on in everything when you're young. Not only do you have good looks, but you can also call me sister all the time!"

After going through so much trouble, Uncle Tian still couldn't forget that he was not allowed to call her sister. Although he had been reminded of this a long time ago, he really couldn't change his mind.

Su Ping held his forehead with one hand. It turned out that he was waiting for him here. It must be said that this old man was very obsessed with being Ganyu's younger brother.

All in all, Uncle Tian was finally forbidden to call Ganyu "Sister Ganyu", and then, as a middle-aged man with a head full of white hair, he could only seek comfort in his work.

Su Ping was also ready to get up and leave, because the arrangements were ready, but he was still worried and planned to go there in person to experience what it was like.

Gan Yu called him, her voice gentle, "Su Ping, you haven't called me sister for a long time."

Su Ping turned around and smiled gently, "Ling Ling and Yun Qing both call you sister. If I call you sister again, the seniority will be messed up."

"Is it really just that?" Ganyu asked again.

Su Ping admitted that he had no other reason. After all, no one would call the same person "sister" as their own child, right?

That doesn't look like a happy family occasion, but rather seems a bit weird, with an indescribable feeling.

Su Ping also left, leaving Ganyu alone there. She was also thinking, but couldn't come up with an accurate answer.

"I just issued a clear ban on Tianshu Star. Will this make Su Ping worried?"

It's not really wrong for people in their forties or fifties to still call her sister, but it's too strange in the eyes of other people. But for people in their twenties, it's actually okay.

"Or is it really like he said, to avoid misunderstandings and embarrassment?"

Ganyu imagined the scene where the father and the child both called her sister, and she felt that Su Ping's idea was indeed correct. This was really strange, indescribably strange.

"It's been a long time, it's time to get to work."

This senior from Yue Haiting has extraordinary self-discipline, which was especially evident before he tried to combine work and rest.

……

Eat at Huyan Street, three bowls is enough.

There was a storyteller who was speaking eloquently with a slightly sad look on his face, but he was still telling the life story of the emperor. Every word was precious and his voice touched the people's hearts.

Below the stage, at one of the tables, the handsome young man in blue, Nan Zhangsheng, the yellow-haired girl Ying, and the floating object Paimeng were all looking at one person.

That man had a handsome appearance, with amber eyes like a phoenix, which made him look majestic without even getting angry. But with his calm personality now, he looked more like a gentleman who had stepped into the mortal world.

Apart from Zhongli, there is no other person like him in the entire Liyue or even Teyvat, because his appearance and temperament cannot be imitated by anyone, not even a similar one.

“The three of you have agreed to come together to experience Liyue’s wine culture?” Zhongli asked calmly.

Nan Zhangsheng smiled and said, "That's also the reason. I also have something to say to Zhongli, but that's not important."

Zhongli's deep voice sounded, "In this case, Mr. Nan is very convenient. Whether it is to introduce a friend or to listen to a book to relieve boredom, it is all right."

“No, no, no.” Nan Zhangsheng shook his head. “When it comes to Liyue’s history, no one in Teyvat can match Mr. Zhongli. Of course, I’d like to invite Mr. Zhongli to tell me in detail.”

Zhongli crossed his arms across his chest, looking at him without saying a word.

Nan Zhangsheng didn't say anything, just made a gesture and prepared to watch the show.

"The taverns in Liyue are very different from those in Mondstadt. The owners refuse to provide fruit juice drinks, so minors cannot drink alcohol here." Zhong Kai explained.

"Oh, oh." Paimon nodded, a little confused. She didn't know what was going on with these two people. It started suddenly, which was a bit puzzling.

Ying understood, but she was only thinking about one thing now, "So this time, I can finally have a glass of wine?"

In Mondstadt, she was rejected by all the taverns because she did not look like an adult. She was not allowed to drink a drop of alcohol and felt very uncomfortable. Although she did not like drinking very much, it was very annoying to be turned away when she was old enough to drink.

Nan Zhangsheng pointed at the rice dumpling with wine lees on the table and said, "So, Ying, just eat this."

Ying's mouth twitched, her expression was strange, and she said to herself: "An unexpected ending."

Paimon covered her mouth and laughed, expressing sympathy for her travel companion's experience. She couldn't drink anyway, so she wished someone could accompany her.

The laughter of one man and one floating object did not affect the two idle young men next to them, although they were not very young in fact.

Zhongli looked at the young man in blue and asked, "What did you just say was something unimportant? What was it?"

"It's not a big deal. It's just the emperor's funeral, that is, the ceremony of sending off the immortals. The Seven Stars has given full authority to the Hall of Rebirth to prepare for it. Mr. Zhongli, there's no need to bother him any more." Nan Zhangsheng smiled, looking very innocent.

Then, he added: "That's not right. Mr. Zhongli is a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall. It seems that he can't rest either. Anyway, it's like this. It doesn't matter, right?"

Zhongli remained silent, his calm face showed no emotion, and in fact he felt the same way in his heart, neither sad nor happy. After all, he was a dignified god, so how could he be upset over such a small matter?

During his silence, the storyteller continued to talk and went on to tell the story of the fairy palace in the sky and the secluded pavilion in the clouds.
