Chapter 576: The Confrontation between Ai Lishia, Keqing, and Zhong Li
Hearing this familiar voice and the notes that came with it, Tianhe knew who was coming without even looking.
"Alishia..." Tianhe turned around and looked at her, and found that in addition to Alishia, there were several old acquaintances, namely Mei, Mebius, Velvet, and Rita.
It was easy for others to join the International Brigade, after all, Alicia was in it. But why did Rita appear among them? It couldn't be that she had switched to the International Brigade.
"Rita, as I recall, you are the man of destiny, aren't you? How did you end up in the International Brigade? Could it be that..."
Before Rita could reply, Mei smiled and explained for her. "Haha, Tianhe, you don't know that since the collapse was resolved, Anti-Entropy has joined the Destiny, the Fire Moth, Mobius, and Kevin's World Snake, and chose to join the International Column."
"There are only two top forces left in the world. Some time ago, the International Brigade and Skyward began to cooperate deeply. And Rita is an S-rank Valkyrie, and she came here for this purpose."
Mei answered Rita's question first, and Rita was a little dissatisfied, but she didn't have any grudges because of it. After all, Mei was qualified to answer this question in terms of strength and status.
"So that's how it is. But, Mei, promise me that next time you won't answer other people's questions." Tianhe said meaningfully.
"Definitely next time." Mei smiled, but she had no intention of changing it because she found it very interesting.
Tianhe looked at the three people beside him, "So, Alicia, Velvi, and Mebius. What are you looking for me for? You can't be taking me back to the International Brigade, there are so many people watching us."
"Why not? Tianhe, I really want to bring you to my laboratory. You have many secrets worth studying."
Mebius stared at Tianhe intently, as if he saw an interesting prey, but it was hard to say who was the hunter and who was the prey in the end. Anyway, it was not the first time that Sheshe suffered a loss at the hands of Tianhe, but she never changed.
Tianhe and Mobius looked at each other. He was not afraid of Mobius, after all, he had the ability to protect himself. However, Mobius was quite cute.
At this time, Alicia spoke up, "Tianhe, what's so good about Mobius? Why don't you look at me more? After all, I am from the Shenzhou International Column, Yaoguang Star among the Seven Stars, and Yaoguang Star directly belongs to you."
Tianhe quickly interrupted Ailixia, "Hey, Aili, don't talk nonsense. I remember that I have retired. You don't want to take me back to the International Brigade, do you?"
"Hehe, guess." Alicia chose to play dumb. She would not tell the truth. It would not be fun if she let you run away.
At this time, Wei Erwei, who is an expert personality, said, "Hehe, Tianhe, why don't you tell me yourself, how old are you now? Are you retired or not?"
Tianhe was silent for a moment. He always felt that there was something wrong with this question. After thinking for a while, he tried to avoid the question about his real age by changing the subject.
"Wei Weiwei, how should I know this? You know I have no memory of the past. But now it seems that this "memory" may not be recovered, so I can't tell how old I am now."
Wei Wei, the magician, seemed to have discovered something. She nodded deliberately, "Oh, so that's how it is. Then, Tianhe, can you tell us why you retired and went to Liyue to become the Geo King there?"
"Yes, it can't be that the welfare benefits in Liyue are better than those in our International Column, right? Tianhe, you know that what Liyue can give, our International Column can also give."
"We can give you what Liyue can't give you. Even if we don't have it, the International Column will mobilize manpower and material resources at all costs. Whether it's searching the entire solar system or turning the Quantum Ocean upside down, we will get what you want."
At this point, our Alicia looks very confident, and she is not just talking nonsense. Now that the International Column is no longer threatened by Honkai, it can really do anything.
Hearing this, Keqing could no longer sit still. She came between Tianhe and Alicia and looked at Alicia, "Wait, Alicia, from what you said, the International Column wants to snatch us away? Tianhe is our Liyue person now."
"How can this be called stealing people, my dear sister Keqing? Tianhe is originally the Rock King of our International Column. As long as he is willing, we welcome him back at any time. Of course, the work is easy to deal with, and it is definitely easier than that in Liyue."
After hearing this, Keqing really didn't know how to respond to Alicia. After all, Liyue is still in a stage of rapid development. Even if it enters the next stage, it still can't compare with the International Column.
In terms of status, the Shenzhou International Column is the largest organization on Earth. If Tianhe comes back, he will really be the one who has the final say here.
Liyue's overall strength in Teyvat is second only to Winter Solstice, but his prestige is not as high as that of the previous Rock King, let alone his power. However, with the support of the Immortals, the Seven Stars, and even the Emperor, Tianhe has already established a firm foothold in Liyue.
As for the welfare and treatment, forget it, there is no need to talk about it, all aspects are thin gauze. Whether it is the working environment or the treatment of the Geo King here, Keqing doesn't think that this is comparable to what Liyue can do now.
All in all, there isn't much that Liyue can keep in Tianhe, but... it's not nothing.
When Zhong Li saw this, she knew she couldn’t watch any longer. If Tianhe was snatched away by the Seven Stars of the International Brigade, she wouldn’t know where to cry.
So, even if she had to face Alicia, who gave her a headache, Zhong Li still gritted her teeth and walked out of the crowd.
Seeing Zhong Li, Alicia's eyes lit up, "Ms. Zhong Li, we meet again. But I have a question for you, I wonder if you are willing to answer it."
"Oh, Miss Ai Li, please feel free to speak. I will tell you everything I know." Zhong Li looked at Ai Li. She didn't seem to be afraid of Ai Lishiya at all.
Alicia showed a mysterious smile, and she immediately asked a question that gave Zhong Li a headache, "Zhong Li, I want to ask, is Tianhe the Rock King of Liyue appointed by you..."
Zhong Li was silent for a while. She realized that Alicia was setting a trap for her, so she did not choose to answer the question directly.
"Ms. Ai Li, does Zhong look like someone who can appoint Tianhe as the Rock King Emperor? However, you can ask Tianhe in private. I'm sorry I can't answer this question."
"Well, okay?" Seeing that Zhong Li did not fall into her trap, Alicia said again, "Then, Ms. Zhong Li, you came out now, is it because you don't want Tianhe to be taken back by us for some reason? Can you tell us, I promise I won't tell anyone?"
Zhong Li shook his head. "Please ask Tianhe privately about this issue. I am worried."
