Chapter 41: The Second Day of Getting Serious in Liyue
With the joint efforts of the Traveler and Shen He, Ba Che was finally suppressed again, and Liyue Harbor returned to peace and tranquility. The immortals who were watching the battle also completely recognized that the current Seven Stars would take over the responsibilities of the Emperor.
Even though humans are still less powerful than gods and immortals, mortals have their own wisdom and persistence. Even gods have already handed Liyue over to human rule, so naturally the immortals will not have too many obsessions.
At least although Master Liuyun Jiefeng refused to give in, he still secretly acquiesced to Shen He's involvement in this matter. With such an experience, this girl will probably be able to integrate into Liyue smoothly.
After all, he is still a tsundere crane with a hard mouth but a soft heart.
Since then, all threats in Liyue have been eliminated, and trade between Liyue Port and the six countries has resumed. Only the Northern Kingdom Bank stationed in Liyue is not doing well.
After all, the Eleventh Seat of the Fatui has been put on a huge black pot, and there are even rumors among the people that he assassinated the Rock King. Therefore, he is hostile to the Northland Bank, and the Seven Stars are even more unwilling to give in on the diplomatic front.
What's more, yesterday the young master was carried into the Northland Bank unconscious as if he had fallen into the water. If it hadn't been confirmed that he was still breathing, the front desk staff of the Northland Bank would have almost thought he was dead.
It was already noon when Tartaglia opened his eyes. His room was the one with the best lighting, so the midday sun passed through his face unabashedly, causing some blinding.
"My Lord!"
When Ekaterina pushed the door open, she saw Tartaglia, who had struggled to sit up with his head supported. She quickly put down the medicine in her hand and came over to help him.
"Thank you. How long have I slept?"
Tartaglia only remembered that he lost consciousness after asking Shui Qingli to send him back to Liyue. Now his whole body was still sore, which was natural.
After all, he was lucky not to be crushed by such a huge monster.
"You've been unconscious for a day."
Ekaterina carefully helped him sit up on the bed, then turned around and handed him the medicine on the table.
"This is the medicine prescribed for you by Mr. Baizhu of Bubulu. It will help you recover."
Although the fees charged for treating diseases with Baizhu have always been high, the effect is indeed very good. After drinking a bowl of medicine, Dadalia felt a warm current surging in his body, nourishing his injured body.
It would be better if he could prescribe medicine that is not so bitter.
"My Lord..."
Ekaterina looked a little embarrassed. Normally, after delivering the medicine, she should go out and let the patient have a good rest, but the current situation really required her boss to make a decision.
"Recently, the people of Liyue have been saying that you released the demon that Lord Guyun suppressed. Some even say that you are the murderer who assassinated the emperor. Now Liyue is very repulsive to the Northland Bank. People who used to deposit money with us have come to our door to ask to withdraw their money."
The Northland Bank's loan collection methods have always been rough, but their annual interest on deposits is also higher than that of local banks. Otherwise, they would not be able to gain a foothold in Liyue. But now the people would rather not earn money than not take the money away, which is enough to show how unpopular the Fatui are in the hearts of the people of Liyue.
"I know about this."
He had guessed this day would come ever since the lady's reunion with Zhongli.
The Seven Stars of Liyue are not Mondstadt, whose large armed forces are missing. It is difficult to deal with them one by one, otherwise he would not be suppressed to the point of wanting to make a stupid move. Now the backlash from the people of Liyue is already considered light.
"Don't worry about that for now. As long as they don't come to our house to smash and rob, let them take the morra according to the normal procedures. I will talk to the [rich] side."
"Also, please arrange a boat for me."
The last time he received the letter from Tonya, he missed his family very much. Anyway, it was time for him to return to Winter and report to Her Majesty the Queen. No matter what the process was, as long as he could successfully obtain the Heart of the God of Rock, it would be fine.
But I spent so much Mora on Mora some time ago... No, I spent so much Mora on Zhongli, there is nothing I can do. If I explain to the [rich man] that all the Mora was spent by Morax... I don’t know if he will accept this reason.
"My subordinate understands."
Ekaterina breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she knew how to solve the problem, but the Fatui had a strict hierarchy, and she didn't dare to make any decisions on her own without the executive's orders.
People's sorrows and joys are not the same. When the atmosphere at the Northland Bank was bleak, a celebration banquet had already begun in the Qun Yu Pavilion.
Yun Jin has been rehearsing the play "The Goddess Splits the Temple" for a long time. Now that Ningguang has provided her with the best stage, she naturally wants to show off her skills.
“What a pity~~~~~~
Autumn wild geese are separated and it is hard to have two together~
Foolish people are crazy, resentful, and crazy..."
"Well, as expected of Mr. Yunjin, her voice is like heavenly music. No wonder even Mr. Zhongli loves to listen to her plays."
Although I have heard it many times when playing games before, it is a completely different feeling to hear the singer sing "The Goddess Splits the View" live.
The Qun Yu Pavilion floats high in the sky, and the sounds of flying birds and wind echo its voice. A special sound amplification array is installed on the stage, which makes Yun Jin's singing even more soul-stirring.
Originally, Xiao was planning to disappear after being suppressed by the Dache, but was stopped by Shui Qingli.
"Don't you want to listen to the play that the emperor likes?"
After he said this, Xiao, as a veteran fan of the Emperor, would certainly not say no. He didn't have to go to the Qun Yu Pavilion to listen, and he could hear it clearly here, so he didn't move.
"...The Emperor loves things created by mortals."
He murmured softly, looking in the direction where the voice came from with a complicated look in his eyes.
It's not just the Emperor, the immortals are the same. Although they always say that mortals are fragile and troublesome, they still can't help but worry about Shen He after taking her in.
The life span of mortals is short, and a hundred years is just a blink of an eye for immortals. To form a bond means that the immortals will inevitably lose it sooner or later.
Those who are left behind are often the most painful.
Just like him.
After the song ended, people raised their glasses and drank to celebrate the good night.
The lively scene of bright lights and laughter in the Qun Yu Pavilion and the lonely and deserted Tianheng Mountain form two extreme opposites.
"I'll wait for you at Wangshu Inn."
After leaving these words, the young immortal disappeared in a flash.
"Hmm, it doesn't look like the E skill. Is it some kind of magic?"
Shui Qingli was standing next to Xiao. If Xiao used the skill xinxinxin to fly away, he would definitely be able to see it. This also proves that the previous guesses of the players were wrong.
So when the Traveler called for Xiao during the Lantern Festival, he must have had some special magic to quickly reach Liyue Port.
He turned his head and glanced at Qun Yu Pavilion, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
I hope travelers won’t be struck too badly by lightning in Inazuma, after all, there are still thunderstorms in Inazuma right now.

Dada Duck is so pitiful. I am not gloating on purpose. It is definitely not because there is something wrong with his pond.
