Zhongli: Let Guizhong's Disciple Rebuild Guili Plains!

Uncle Tian looked at Bai Ye and realized he wasn't lying, so he immediately smiled and said:

"If you can really do that, things will be much easier for us. There are already too many people in Liyue Harbor, so we really need to send a group of people to rebuild the new city."

"Tian Shu, you... you believe it?"

Keqing was unexpected.

"Yes, of course."

Uncle Tian smiled and nodded.

He's so old, he couldn't possibly misjudge a young man like Bai Ye.

Keqing looked at the others.

Ningguang and Ganyu both looked convinced.

There was absolutely no doubt about it.

Are you two really that serious?

She's such a fangirl! She's such a fangirl.

One of you is Tianquan, who controls the commerce of Liyue, and the other is a half-immortal who has lived for thousands of years.

Isn't it just that Bai Ye is somewhat... cute?

A fair face, an innocent and pure expression, and slightly flushed cheeks.

Keqing quickly turned her gaze to the other side so that she could continue to be suspicious of Bai Ye.

Bai Ye nodded and said to Uncle Tian:

"Yes, I can indeed handle some Gods ruins. However, I need quite a few floating stones to maintain them while I'm processing them, and I'll need you to provide them for me."

Although absorbing evil energy, karmic obstacles, and even the Gods relics that may be absorbed next will repair the remnant soul of one's teacher, the floating stones are still necessary to maintain the existence of the remnant soul.

In fact, as the soul is repaired, even more floating stones will be needed.

Even if Bai Ye gets one, it might not last long, so he needs to plan ahead and accumulate more floating stones.

"That's no problem. I can provide you with any floating stones you need." Ningguang nodded.

"As long as the Gods Ruins can be cleared, I'll find you anything that's exactly the same size as the floating stone from the Jade Chamber."

Bai Ye continued speaking:

"And there's the road construction and factory building thing we mentioned earlier."

He's confident now, since he holds the initiative.

If the Adepti do indeed suppress Liyue Harbor, the responsibility and punishment will not fall on you.

Ningguang gently patted Keqing, "Road construction is something that Yuhang Star should be in charge of."

"I understand." Keqing's gaze drifted as she said to Bai Ye, "I will begin the road repair work shortly."

The matter has been largely discussed and agreed upon.

Finally, Ningguang asked Bai Ye to tell the Adepti that while the Seven Stars were searching for the murderer of the Geo Archon, they would also clear away the Gods relics on Guili Mountain and rebuild Guili Mountain.

"Bai Ye, I entrust the safety of Liyue to you."

Ningguang looked down at Bai Ye and whispered, "Yu."

This time,

We'll have to rely on Bai Ye for everything.

The elimination of the Gods's relics depends on him, and negotiations with the Adepti also require his help.

This fourteen-year-old boy is shouldering too much.

Yujing Terrace

Yaoyao carried a pot of tea to Grandma Yu and Zhongli.

"Master, Mr. Zhong, I've brought the tea."

"Okay, Yaoyao, thank you for your hard work. You've helped this old woman carry a vat of water and made tea. It's really too much trouble for you."

Grandma Yu said with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not hard at all. I've already developed the strength to easily carry a tank of water."

Yaoyao gestured with her arm, indicating that she was using a self-compassionate gesture.

To prevent a repeat of what happened to Zhongli that night, Yaoyao began training herself. Even at such a young age, she already possessed considerable strength.

If she waits until she grows up, she might end up as a muscular girl.

"Master, my parents need to see me, so I'll be leaving now."

"Um."

"Goodbye, Master Shi, goodbye, Mr. Zhong..."

Zhongli and Grandma Yu watched Yaoyao leave.

Zhongli took another sip of tea.

Grandma Yu said to Zhongli, "Your the Geo Archon, Cloud Retainer and the others have contacted me. They want to come with me to suppress Liyue Harbor."

"This is probably Cloud Retainer's idea. She is always impatient and distrustful of mortals."

Zhongli smiled faintly.

"Indeed, she was the most proactive in this matter."

Grandma Yu nodded.

Cloud Retainer is a proud fellow.

If she wants to treat you well, she'll truly want to give you everything she has, and she'll never be stingy with anything she has; if she doesn't like you, she'll dare to speak ill of you even to your face.

How should I reply to them?

"Tell them to wait and see what Seven Stars will do next."

Zhongli spoke slowly.

"Without the Fatui's use of the Unbridled Talisman, Liyue will not face any crisis. Therefore, the next test will be a long-term task."

"Your the Geo Archon, how do you intend to test the Seven Stars?"

"Let's see if they have the ability to rebuild Guiliyi."

If Guizhong were still alive, she would surely want to see Gui Liyi reappear. Therefore, let's rebuild Gui Liyi through her disciple.

This is perhaps a kind of cycle.

Zhongli also wanted to use this opportunity to tell Guizhong.

I know all about your news.

"Gui Liyi? Those Archon Remnant?"

Grandma Yu looked at Zhongli in surprise.

With so many ruins, how can people live there?

"This matter still requires Bai Ye to handle personally..."

Zhongli told Grandma Yu about how Bai Ye could purify the evil energy on Shenhe and the karmic obstacles on Xiao.

"Does he really have this ability? Are there any side effects?"

Grandma Yu was taken aback at first, then asked Zhongli:

"Aside from the physical exertion, there aren't many side effects, so Guchen, you don't need to worry."

"Um."

Grandma Yu was finally relieved.

It's good that nothing happened.

"However, we also need to address his physical weakness. The Guizhong Adeptal Art that Gui Zhong obtained from Cloud Retainer are mostly offensive methods, which are not sufficient for his own cultivation. We need to make up for this for him."

"Make up?"

"Hmm, let's find a way to increase his physical strength." Zhongli thought for a moment and took out a booklet from his bosom.

"This is Adeptal Art I recently devised. It increases one's physical strength while absorbing malevolent energy or Gods aura. It's an Adeptal Art that only he can be suitable for. Guchen, find an opportunity to give it to him."

"Your the Geo Archon, why don't you give it to him yourself?"

"He still harbors a certain fear of me, and giving him Adeptal Art would only increase his concerns. Besides, I have things to do these next few days."

Zhongli answered Grandma Yu.

The promise with the Ice Queen

He will naturally take care of it.

The Fatui first attempted to harm Bai Ye, and then they targeted Cloud Retainer's disciple.

That's no longer part of the contract.

Zhongli was a good-tempered man.

But Morax is not.

Even Beelzebul, the infamous one from Inazuma, was far less deadly than Morax in the Archon War.

If you come to me for a contract, I can provide it.

But some of them overstepped the bounds,

Then an explanation is due.
