"The ritual of inviting immortals is held once a year."

"In the past few years, Emperor Yanwang has always come as scheduled. There is no reason why he can't come this year."

Ke Qing said: "But this is indeed the best way to confirm that the emperor has left."

"But I don't agree. Even if the emperor has no intention of leaving, I will rely on my own efforts to make him abdicate."

"The future of Liyue should be in the hands of the people of Liyue themselves."

The expression on Keqing's face was very serious when she said this. She did not have any treacherous intention to seek power and usurp the throne, but was as calm and natural as stating a fact.

The Yanwang Emperor, who has protected Liyue for thousands of years, seems to Ke Qing to take a rest.

Zhongli looked at Keqing, and the smile deep in his eyes was like a microwave that was rising and then quickly dissipated.

He looked at Xiang Wan, who was sitting opposite him, and asked calmly, "What do you think?"

Being called by Zhongli caught Xiang Wan off guard. He subconsciously looked at Hu Tao. Hu Tao smiled at Xiang Wan, then turned to Zhong Li and said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Zhongli, you scared my husband."

"..."

Keqing covered her mouth and chuckled, but did not let the sound come out. In her opinion, Mr. Zhongli was too old-fashioned and acted and spoke too much like an emperor. It was really rare to see his speechless expression, and it was really interesting.

When she met today, she had a completely new understanding of walnuts, and she felt a sense of admiration from the bottom of her heart. You must know that Mr. Zhongli is a guest at the Hall of Purity. His erudition and talent are admirable, and everyone is polite to him.

He was so angry and respectful that only Hu Tao dared to talk to him like this.

Hu Tao looked at Xiang Wan with her cheeks raised, her eyes full of expectation and said: "Mr. Zhongli is just curious about your opinion. Just speak out boldly."

Xiang Wan nodded. He was not afraid to answer the question, but Zhongli suddenly asked him for his opinion. In fact, he was waiting for Keqing to ask her after he said the words to confirm that Emperor Yan Wang had really left, but

He never expected that Ke Qing would actually have the answer in her heart, but it was the real owner who asked.

This is really amazing.

Having traveled back in time, he knew that Zhongli was the King of Rocks, and what he said next was somewhat ungrateful, but he had to say that he just hoped that Zhongli wouldn't be too angry.

"There can be a lot of understanding in leaving."

"In the final analysis, Emperor Yanwang is nothing more than the belief in the hearts of the people of Liyue, and how deep this belief is, I think..."

When he said this, he saw Zhongli's eyes twitching out of the corner of his eye, so he stopped.

"You keep talking."

Ke Qing's pleasant voice echoed in Xiang Wan's ears, but to Xiang Wan it sounded like the god of death whispering in his ears.

In this case, we have no choice but to die together.

Xiang Wan looked at Ke Qing and asked, "In your opinion, what is the most important thing that has supported Liyue for thousands of years?"

Keqing blushed slightly. She looked outside as if to confirm if anyone was eavesdropping. Then she whispered: "...Emperor?"

This answer shocked Xiang Wan so much that his jaw dropped to the table.

A faint smile flashed deep in the eyes of Zhongli, who was drinking tea at the side.

Xiang Wan thought to herself, Ke Qing, you traitor!!!

As expected of the emperor's arrogant little fan girl, she was actually defending him at this time.

Sensing something strange about Xiang Wan, she also knew that she had lost her composure just now. She coughed lightly and said, "Although I don't think so, the emperor has indeed put in a lot of effort for Liyue to be able to go through these thousand years."

"Having said that."

"After all, we humans are the ones who can survive through hard work. He who is above us has to intervene in everything. Hmm, to put it bluntly, does he really know everything?"

Xiang Wan had been secretly observing Zhongli who was drinking tea and listening quietly across from him. His expression never changed, as if he was an old god.

Zhongli, who wanders around in the world, does have the image of a lonely old man who doesn't care about worldly affairs.

"So you think it's a human being and not an emperor?"

Keqing tapped her chin lightly and replied: "Yes."

"So are you ready?"

In Xiang Wan's view, since Keqing wanted to gradually replace Liyue under the rule of Emperor Yanwang, he must have started preparations long ago, and Emperor Yanwang must have been traveling around the world in the form of Zhongli for more than a year or two.

Then he must have been observing the common people for a long time.

What he has to do now is to let him completely let go of his deep understanding of the suffering of the common people, so that he can have no intention of competing in the world, and completely return Liyue, who he believes in, to mankind.

"I've been doing this, but only a handful of people are willing to support me."

"I'm very happy to hear your words on the mountain today."

Keqing smiled softly and stood up slowly. Because she was sitting on the left side of Xiang Wan, she naturally extended her hands as white and delicate as spring onions to Xiang Wan.

"The time for change has arrived, and the order that has been maintained for thousands of years is about to be rewritten. Are you willing to witness this historic moment with me?"

This was an invitation. From Xiang Wan's point of view, he had done nothing. All of this was just Ke Qing's pursuit for years, decades or even a lifetime. She wanted to make Liyue return to human form from the era of immortal rule.

Such an idea was so bold that not many people were willing to help him. Xiang Wan's appearance and the words he said were a great encouragement to her, allowing her to be more determined when she doubted herself.

She wills to do what she wants.

In other words, she felt that Xiang Wan and she were of the same mind, at least they had the same ideas.

If you feel you are right, speak out loudly and act resolutely.

The former is easy, but the latter is extremely difficult.

Because it’s easier said than done.

Doubts and timidity are obstacles to moving forward. Those who can move forward toward the goal may not always succeed, but those who succeed are undoubtedly strong.

Even if you fail, you will never be a weak person.

When facing the gods, Xiang Wan does not believe in them blindly and always thinks independently. If he has questions, he will ask them boldly. If he does not have an answer, he will keep searching. This is the correct attitude. After all, who can guarantee that God will not

What about making mistakes?

This is something Ke Qing rarely sees. At least in Liyue, most people have absolute trust in Emperor Yan Wang. Even she does the same, but her goals are different and too daring.

Looking at Ke Qing's sincere eyes, Xiang Wan couldn't think of a reason to refuse, not to mention that he had to rely on Ke Qing for his first business.

The gentle squeeze lasted only a short time, but Xiang Wan could really feel the warmth and softness of Keqing's little hand. It was completely different from the coldness of Hutao, but it also had the same place, that is, the touch was very delicate.

"I am looking forward."

Zhongli drank the tea in one gulp. He carefully looked at the simple tea cup in his hand, gently caressing it with his fingers. He carefully placed it on the table, then stood up and left, leaving only one meaningful word.

"Whether you are an ordinary person or an immortal, only by performing your duties can you ensure Liyue's long-term peace."
