Chapter 174 Seven Stars Questioning
The blue chess piece was suspended in Wang Hao's palm.

The wind around us has become much gentler.

The breeze blew through Zhongli's hair.

His hair was fluttering and his eyes were slightly surprised. It was the first time that Wang Hao saw Zhongli Keqing like this.

Yes, when Wang Hao took out the Heart of the God of Wind, even Zhongli was a little surprised.

"...That guy actually gave all this to you?" Zhongli's tone changed a little, becoming a little more serious than before.

Although he didn't care too much about the Heart of God,
But it was still somewhat beyond his expectations that Wang Hao took back the Heart of God next door.

"It's not really a gift. The Fatui's Executioner attacked Him and took the Heart of God away. I just happened to take action and snatched it back."

After a pause, Wang Hao raised his eyebrows slightly, "I also took photos, do you want to see them?"

[Hahahahahaha. 】

【The moment of Wendy's social death.】

[Good fellow, then I will fake Morax's death and take a photo of it and sell it to Wendy.]

[Hahahaha, you'll be stabbed by the rock spear. ]

【…】

As soon as Wang Hao finished speaking, Zhongli still had no expression, but the barrage of comments was full of laughter.

It is indeed interesting to hand over the dark history of the God of Wind to the God of Rock.

"..." Zhongli was silent for a moment before he spoke, "The Heart of God was taken away by the Fatui Executor? Really..."

He didn't know how to comment.
Does anyone really believe this play?

A demon god who used wind to turn Snowmond into a vast plain had his Heart of God taken away by the Fatui Executor.

Zhongli could only say that he was worthy of being Barbatos, he was indeed free.

"After I snatched this thing back, He said that I could keep it, but it would be better not to keep it for too long." Wang Hao continued.

Zhongli nodded slightly: "The Heart of God is indeed not a good thing. It is not a good thing to hold it for too long."

"I have already contacted the executive officer of Zhidong. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be traded out. But before that, I want to know how to use this thing?"

A trace of distress appeared on Wang Hao's face.
"I can only use it as an elemental amplifier. The true power it contains seems to resist me."

After his first attempt to devour the Heart of God failed, he discovered that the power contained in the Heart of God was resisting him.

It seemed as if the Heart of God was also afraid of being swallowed by Wang Hao. In order to protect itself, it completely refused Wang Hao's use and only retained the most basic function, amplifying elemental power.

"This is normal. The Heart of God is actually a more advanced external elemental organ than the Eye of God." Zhongli has regained his calm expression. "Do you know what the Eye of God is?"

Wang Hao nodded slightly: "I know something."

"Then there's no need to explain it to you."

Zhongli was not surprised that Wang Hao knew about it. From his perspective, Wang Hao himself was also related to some high-level beings, so it was normal for him to know about the Eye of God.

"The Eye of God is a fragment of authority, while the Heart of God is a relatively complete authority. This authority is granted by the principles of heaven. There are two ways to use the Heart of God."

Wang Hao's eyes lit up and he stared at Zhongli, wanting to hear what the two methods were.

Zhongli did not keep the secret and spoke directly: "The first is to obtain the ruling throne. That is the throne forged by the law of nature, which is equivalent to the new order of seven. If you obtain the throne, you can naturally use the heart of God."

Wang Hao's expression remained unchanged. This method was obviously not suitable for him.

If he wants to be able to sit on the throne of God, why would he need the Heart of God?

"The second method is, when you fully understand your inner desires and the power of your mind and wishes reaches its peak, if your wishes resonate with the Heart of God in your hand, then you can also use it."

"This is essentially the operating logic of the New Order of Seven. When the corresponding minds and wishes reach their peak, the corresponding power can be triggered. This is the rule set by Heaven for the New Order of Seven."

After listening to this, Wang Hao understood that the Heart of the Wind God was probably of no use in his hands.

It is impossible for him to obtain the ruling throne of the God of Wind, and it is unlikely that his heart and wishes will resonate perfectly with the Heart of the God of Wind.

The unfettered freedom of the God of Wind was a kind of disorder to Wang Hao, which was difficult for him to accept.

"Is there no other way?" Wang Hao asked unwillingly.

Zhongli shook his head: "To use the power of the Heart of God, there are only these two ways. If we just use the Heart of God as an energy supply or element amplification, then it's simple, and many technologies can do it."

[So, the Void System's use of the Heart of the Grass God as an energy supply is just a low-level use.]

[Then when the scattered soldiers used the Heart of Thundergod to ascend to godhood, was it just an elemental amplification? ]

[Not necessarily. Sanbing is actually a test run for Thundergod. He may have been granted the right to use Thundergod's Heart by Ying.]

[Indeed, Sanbing was originally created by Lei Dian to replace himself, so it is normal for him to be able to use the Heart of Thundergod. ]

[Then the one in Wang Hao's hand... is useless? ]

[It's not useless, it can be used as an amplifier. 】

[Exchange the Fatui for demon materials. Devour them and you will become stronger. ]

【…】

Wang Hao couldn't use the Heart of God, and the barrage was a little disappointed.

Wang Hao then understood why Wendy gave him the things so easily.

Because this guy knew that Wang Hao would definitely not be able to use it,

As the owner of the Heart of God, Wendy did not give Wang Hao permission.

Put away the Heart of the Wind God,
Wang Hao looked at Zhongli again: "I have learned all the immortal scripture you taught me last time. This time I came here to ask for your advice..."

Part of his knowledge of runes was learned from Tongwen Academy, and the rest was taught by Zhongli.

"Show us your learning achievements first."

Zhongli did not refuse and nodded to Wang Hao.

Hearing this, Wang Hao stretched out his hand and a dark blue elemental spear appeared.

This spear is probably the culmination of his use of runes.

Wang Hao used it when he fought with the lady before.

"Nice trick." Zhongli looked at the elemental spear summoned by Wang Hao and nodded slightly.

Wang Hao curled his lips. Trick, this word is really...

Well, he admitted that in front of this person, his elemental spear was indeed just a trick.

"Please give me some advice, sir." Wang Hao looked expectant.

"You are based on the water element, so let's start with the solid form..."

Zhongli began to lecture, and Wang Hao listened obediently.

One taught the other, and it lasted until the evening, when Wang Hao got up to say goodbye.

Of course, he wanted to continue asking questions, but Zhongli was going out for a walk.

when it is time to leave,
Wang Hao heard Zhong Li say behind him: "If you want to prove something, then prove it."

Wang Hao paused, nodded vigorously, and then left.
-
Two days later,

Wang Hao and Keqing went to the Qun Yu Pavilion together.

Today is the day for him to "report" on his work.

Arriving at the Qunyu Pavilion,
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I feel like there are more guards today.

Bai Wen no longer had his usual smile on his face, and with a serious face he led Wang Hao and Keqing to a conference room.

At this time in the conference room,
Ningguang sat in the main seat, with an empty seat on one side and several strange devices placed on the other side.

Seeing Wang Hao and Keqing coming over, he nodded slightly: "Just sit down and wait for their signal to come through."

Keqing walked to Ningguang's right side, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Wang Hao sat opposite Ningguang, in the lower position.

After a while

Uncle Tian is here too.
After he came in, he glared at Wang Hao, then sat next to Keqing.

Wang Hao knew why the old man was glaring at him.

Ningguang had already told Wang Hao about Uncle Tian’s previous anger.

A sentence suddenly popped up in Wang Hao’s mind: There are four living people here, three of them are Seven Stars, and two of them are mine. How can you fight with me!

of course,

On the surface, Wang Hao still smiled at Uncle Tian.

This old man is a good man, not an enemy.

"You kid, you'd better give me a good explanation, otherwise, your plan against me won't be so easy to resolve." Uncle Tian said with a gloomy expression.

Three days ago, after he left the Qun Yu Pavilion, he gradually understood.

It seemed like he was being lured by Wang Hao.

Wang Hao concealed the intelligence plan and contacted the Fatui executive in private without reporting. Every step he took was in his forbidden zone.
But... there is always some deliberate taste.

Based on his previous understanding of Wang Hao, it was impossible for this kid to do such a tactless thing.

Therefore, this series of events seemed to be intended to make him, the Tianshu Star, anxious.

It was this feeling that made Uncle Tian vaguely aware of something.
Wang Hao's plan seemed to be bigger than he imagined.

[No, why should Wang Hao explain to them? ]

[Yes, Wang Hao can solve the problem by himself, why should I explain to them? ]

[Because they represent the ordinary people of Liyue, Wang Hao's plan requires their cooperation. ]

[Wang Hao needs the seven stars to work together to resist the disaster, so as to show that Liyue has grown up. ]

[I still don't understand. It's so troublesome. I might as well be a Chinese.]

[This is the difference in philosophy. You think that Wang Hao has great power and can do whatever he wants, be a Chinese citizen, and do good or bad as he pleases. But Wang Hao thinks that power is a means to assist philosophy, so he chooses to abide by the rules.]

【Rules are meant to be broken.】

[…Pioneers, please enjoy the taste.]

【…】

Some people in the comments were unhappy with Uncle Tian's words.

But there are also people who can understand Wang Hao's thoughts.

Wang Hao's eyes flashed slightly, and he was somewhat surprised that Uncle Tian reacted so quickly.

He is worthy of being the Tianshu Star. If he stays calm, he will see through my little trick.

He concealed the fact of the Hundred Unrestricted Talisman at the beginning because he really didn't want Qixing to interrupt his plan.

But later on, when the plan gradually took shape and the fools fell into the trap, he still did not report it.
In addition, the subsequent contact with Alecino was not reported.

Both of them were intended to make Uncle Tian, ​​the only outsider in Liyue, anxious.

Even if Uncle Tian believed in Wang Hao, in this situation, his duty would drive him to doubt Wang Hao.

Once he suspects Wang Hao, he will definitely push Qixing to question Wang Hao.

Without the Seven Stars to question Wang Hao, Ningguang would suppress all doubts.

If Tianquan or Yuheng relayed Wang Hao's plan,

The effect is not guaranteed, and it is difficult to convince the other seven stars.
But here in Tianshu, Tianquan and Yuheng will cooperate with Wang Hao. When it comes to matters concerning Wang Hao, the opinions of these two people have to be kept.

Therefore, Wang Hao needs to raise the question through Tianshu Star, avoiding Tianquan and Yuheng.
In this questioning environment, Wang Hao can better present his plan to Qixing and at the same time "convince" Qixing to support his plan.

Looking at Uncle Tian, ​​Wang Hao nodded: "I will give you an explanation"

Soon, the device on Ningguang's left hand side lit up slightly, and four projections emerged.

"I hope we're not late." A neutral voice sounded.

These devices seem to have processed the voices of these seven stars.

I can't even tell whether it's a man or a woman.

"The timing is just right." Ningguang said, then looked at Tianshu, "Wang Hao is my man. To avoid suspicion, I will not express my opinion this time."

Uncle Tian nodded and looked at Keqing.

Keqing's face sank, but she nodded: "I reserve my own opinion."

After seeing both of them give in, Uncle Tian looked at Wang Hao and said, "Wang Hao, former ambassador to Monde and current special operations commissioner of the General Affairs Department, please explain to us the so-called "Hundred Unrestricted Talisman" plan."

Although nominally a report on Ambassador Mond's work, no one here really cares about it.

The first thing Uncle Tian asked about was Wang Hao's most crucial plan.

Of course, this was also part of Wang Hao's plan.

"Okay, Master Tianshuxing, this matter starts two years ago..."

He repeated what he had told Keqing about the whole incident.

Basically, he discovered that the Fatui were looking for the remains of the immortals, so he used a modified version of the Hundred Unrestricted Talisman as bait.
And this bait was taken two years later.

After Wang Hao finished speaking,
One of the four projections asked, "If that's the case, why didn't you report it when you set up the scheme?"

Wang Hao said calmly: "Because I just arranged it casually at that time, I was not sure whether it would be useful, so I did not report it."

Keqing immediately said, "This kind of casual arrangement doesn't need to be reported. It will greatly increase our workload."

"Yuheng, please remain silent." Uncle Tian said.

Keqing was furious and wanted to pull Ningguang to talk to her, but Ningguang shook her head at her, indicating that she trusted Wang Hao.

"Tianshu, there is no need to do this. I believe Yuheng has no selfish motives." One of the projections said, and then continued to say to Wang Hao, "Please continue to talk about the problems that may be caused by the Hundred Taboos Talisman, and your back-up plan."

“Okay, the usage of the Hundred Taboos Talisman is to visit immortal caves. When this talisman is used in large quantities, it can also open some immortal seals.

Based on what I have seen and heard in Mondstadt, the Fatui are currently looking for gods from other countries.
Therefore, the Hundred Taboos Talisman should only be their backup plan, and their real goal might be the upcoming ceremony of summoning the immortal.

If they cannot achieve their goal in the ceremony of inviting the immortals,
Then, they may use the Hundred Taboos Scroll to release the demon god under the Lonely Cloud Pavilion to force the Emperor to appear."

It was the same words I said to Keqing before, but with the addition of the ceremony of summoning the immortals.

Qixing was silent.

"What about your backup plan? I heard Tianquan praise you before, you can't have no backup plan."

Another Projected Seven Stars asked.

Wang Hao nodded: "I have tampered with the Hundred Unrestricted Talisman. Once they really use it to release the demon god, I can make the Hundred Unrestricted Talisman form a new seal at any time."

"Verify." said the Projection Seven Stars.

Ningguang nodded and pointed with her fingertips. Several talismans appeared, which were the talismans with no taboos.

"This is the Hundred Taboos Talisman seized by Ye Lan. It has been tested by Tianshu Xing before. Wang Hao, I will activate them, and you show me your backup plan."

Uncle Tian nodded slightly, indicating that he had indeed checked.

Wang Hao naturally had no problem: "Okay."

Ningguang moved her fingertips slightly, and a ray of golden light appeared. The Hundred Taboos Talisman was spinning, and it was already in an activated state.

On the other side of Ningguang, Wang Hao also stretched out his finger, and elemental power emerged.
"The underlying runes of the Hundred No Taboos Talisman are based on immortal talismans. I modified them, so..."

As Wang Hao spoke, the elemental power shone, and the Unrestricted Talisman that was originally under Ningguang's control changed instantly.
The underlying immortal talisman that outlined the talisman gradually twisted, and the originally majestic and uninhibited talisman turned into a heavy and forbidden talisman.

Several Hundred Unrestricted Talismans that had changed their forms floated to the side of Wang Hao's fingertips.

"This is my backup plan. Once the demon god is released, these unforbidden scrolls will turn from keys into locks again." Wang Hao's voice gradually became higher and higher. "They will help us defeat the demon god."

There was a slight silence in the conference room,

There was a smile in Ningguang's eyes. This was the person she had trained.

Keqing stared at Wang Hao intently, not wanting to look away for even a second.

Uncle Tian was silent for a while, then nodded slightly: "Not a bad backup plan, but... why must the Fatui release the demon?"

Wang Hao's backhand is very good.
But why release the devil?
Wouldn't it be faster to just get rid of the Fatui?

The Fatui are much easier to deal with than the devil.

When everyone heard Uncle Tian ask this question, they all looked at Wang Hao.

Wang Hao's expression also became serious. He knew that the most critical moment of the day had arrived.

His expression was extremely serious and his tone was sincere.

Wang Hao asked everyone, "The Emperor has protected Liyue for more than 3,700 years. How long do you think the Emperor can protect us?"

This question is blasphemy.

But with Keqing’s shocking question at the ceremony of inviting the immortal, Wang Hao’s question was nothing.

There was silence for a while,
One of the seven stars in the projection said, "The emperor is long-lived and long-sighted. How could we have predicted that?"

Wang Hao immediately responded, "So, we are going to pin the future of Liyue on the Emperor's immortality?"

"As far as I know, the demon gods are not eternal. Even among the seven rulers like the Emperor, more than one of them has fallen. Before they fell, their people also believed that they could be eternal."

"Wang Hao, are you cursing the Emperor?"

"No, I am just stating the truth. The Emperor cannot accompany us forever. The people of Liyue must eventually move forward on their own."

"What does that have to do with releasing the demon?"

"Prove it! Solve this disaster caused by the demon god and prove to the emperor, the immortals, and everyone else that the child under the emperor's wings has grown up. At least we don't have to rely on the emperor for everything anymore."

Give the model worker a break. It’s been 3,700 years, and the emperor should be tired. Wang Hao stood in front of everyone, expressing his ideas, and Keqing’s eyes gleamed.

"...This will be a disaster that will affect the entire Liyue Harbor. Wang Hao, have you considered this?"

"That's why we need to be well prepared and rehearse the evacuation plan in advance to minimize the losses and give the best answer."

"What if, once the Demon God is unsealed, we don't have time to do anything and are sealed again by the Emperor?"

"No, the Emperor is also waiting for an opportunity to test us."

Wang Hao was full of confidence. He had read the script in advance, so he was sure of success.
"Two years ago, do you still remember Yuhengxing's question?"

Uncle Tian lowered his eyes slightly: "Of course I remember it, the hustle and bustle at that time is still ringing in my ears."

"The Emperor never blamed Yu Heng for his doubts. On the contrary, he just chuckled. Although the Emperor still came to the Immortal Summoning Ceremony in the past two years, have you noticed that the things he arranged are getting less and less?"

Wang Hao had already read the reports on the Summoning Immortals Ceremony in the past two years.
He discovered very intuitively that the Emperor was gradually loosening his control over Liyue.

Uncle Tian's eyes moved slightly. He knew that what Wang Hao said was true.

“Wang Hao, do you mean that the Emperor has already thought about leaving Liyue?” asked a projection Seven Stars, with some worry in his voice.

Wang Hao shook his head: "No, the Emperor may not leave. I just think that the Emperor also wants to see if the people of Liyue can stand up."

During the trip to Wangsheng Hall, he and Zhongli reached some tacit understanding.
Before leaving Wangsheng Hall, Zhongli's words expressed his attitude.

Tests are bound to come, and Zhongli...or the Emperor will watch everyone to see whether Liyue, which he has protected for so long, has truly grown up.

Thinking of this, Wang Hao looked at the Seven Stars again: "Even if there is no Fatui, there may be another test to measure our weight, so it is better to control the problem within the known range."

The conference room fell silent again.

Everyone can understand what Wang Hao means.
If the Emperor was here, the Demon God would never be released. If the Demon God was released, then... it must have been with the Emperor's tacit approval.

Even if the Seven Stars issued an order to stop the Fatui's actions, new disasters would still occur.

This...maybe this is the Emperor's test for everyone.

"We can't rush back to Liyue, Tianquan, so it's up to you."

One of the Projected Seven Stars was relieved.

Soon the other seven stars also gave in.

"Then let's follow Tianquan's wishes."

What Tian Quan meant was actually what Wang Hao meant. It just sounds better this way.

At this point, the matter of the Hundred Taboos Talisman has been explained.

Then there is,

"Next thing, regarding the contact between you and the servant of the Fatui executive officer, is there anything that needs to be reported?"

Uncle Tian's tone has become much more relaxed, and even reporting is no longer mandatory, but "whether there is a need".

Wang Hao’s report just now has been recognized by them.

This young man is indeed someone who works hard for Liyue.

As long as we have this common belief, there is no need to force ourselves on small matters.

"You can report it. The reason why the Executioner's servant came to see me is mainly because I brought back something from Mondstadt. The Fatui need this thing."

As he spoke, Wang Hao stretched out his hand and the green chess piece floated.

"This is the Heart of the God of Wind. The Fatui want this thing. Alechino came to me for this."

Wang Hao originally planned to conceal the Heart of God, but after thinking about it, he realized that it was not necessary.
The Heart of God is definitely not something that can be kept, so it is better to tell the Seven Stars this information directly. If they know the true purpose of the Fatui, perhaps they can gain benefits from Solstice in other aspects.

As for whether Qixing would be greedy for the Heart of God,

Wang Hao couldn't be sure, but he knew that no matter what, Ningguang and Keqing would definitely stand on his side.

Perhaps Wang Hao underestimated the bottom line of these seven stars.
After Wang Hao took out the Heart of God, Qixing was silent for a while.
Then one of the seven projected stars said, "This thing... bring it back. Do the Knights of Favonius know about it?"

Although they are not afraid of Mondstadt, it would be very difficult to deal with a diplomatic incident.
However, the reaction of this Seven Star was similar to Keqing's.

The first thing they want to know is whether there will be a diplomatic incident.

As for the value of the Heart of God itself, they don't care much.

Ningguang, on the other hand, looked at the Heart of God in Wang Hao's hand with some curiosity: "Is this the Heart of God of Wind? It's a little different from the one in Liyue."

[What do you mean? Ningguang has seen Zhongli's Heart of God? ]

[Did I miss the plot again? ]

[The Golden House is supported by Zhongli's Heart of God, so it is possible that Ningguang has seen the Heart of God. ]

[Kai Yang Xing said that Liyue’s greatest secret is actually Tian Quan. ]

[Ningguang has mastered many secrets that even Qixing doesn't know. 】

[It’s still a little outrageous.]

【…】

Danmu and Wang Hao have the same doubts.

Sister Ningguang's tone was as if she had seen the Heart of God.

But before Wang Hao could ask anything, Ningguang asked him first: "Does the Knights know that you brought this thing back?"

It’s the same problem as the one asked by the Seven Stars just now.

Wang Hao immediately replied: "The Knights don't know, but His Majesty Barbatos knows, and He agrees that I can take the Heart of God away."

Ningguang nodded thoughtfully: "I see, that's right, without the consent of the gods, you can't take it back."

She did know about the existence of the Heart of God.

The biggest secret in the Golden House is the Heart of God.

Liyue can build the Mora system because the Golden House continuously produces this high-performance extraordinary material.
The earliest Moras were all forged by the Emperor.

But later, as Mora became popular in the seven countries, even some countries without gods began to use Mora, the demand for Mora began to increase sharply.

In this case, we can't let the Emperor create Mora continuously,

Then, the Heart of God was taken out by the Emperor and automated production began.

Most people only know that Morax is made by sending many materials into the Golden House and then smelting and casting them. It can even be called the 'flesh and blood of Morax' and has very powerful extraordinary qualities.

But only Tianquan, who holds the greatest secret of Liyue, knows that the real secret of making Mora in the Golden House is the Heart of the God of Rock.

It is the existence of the Heart of God that allows the Golden House to continuously produce Mora of extraordinary value.

It can be said that the Heart of the God of Rock is, in a certain sense, the economic pillar of the entire Teyvat.

Of course, Tianquan only knows the existence of the Heart of God, and he definitely cannot touch it.

"Since this was given to Wang Hao by the God of Wind, it is not Liyue's business. The questioning has been completed, so everyone should express their opinions."

Ningguang looked at everyone, her eyes first stopped at Keqing, then moved away and looked at Tianshuxing: "Uncle Tian, ​​you initiated this questioning, you should express your opinion first."

Uncle Tian had a calm expression, showing no signs of emotional fluctuations: "I am willing to support Wang Hao's plan, but I will hold him accountable for his concealment of the truth."

The old man's final stubbornness belongs to this.

Ningguang didn't care. If she held him accountable, it would only mean deducting some salary. If they really wanted to punish Wang Hao, wouldn't she stop it?

She looked at Keqing again.

Keqing was already prepared: "I support it."

She didn't hesitate at all.

Ningguang smiled and nodded. This was probably the most enjoyable time she and Keqing had worked together directly.

The two Seven Stars present expressed their opinions, and Ningguang looked to the side of the projection again.

"Kaiyang, what do you think?"

In fact, they had already expressed their stance before, that they would follow Tianquan's wishes, but now, Ningguang asked again.

The seven stars in the projection nodded slightly: "Then let's follow this plan. I will inform my people and they will fully cooperate."

Ningguang smiled. This was exactly what she wanted.

Each of the Seven Stars is not alone, and there are more or less forces behind them.
The most important thing is to get all these forces to cooperate in the action.

"Since everyone agrees, we will arrange for its implementation next. Wang Hao, regarding disaster response, you will submit a complete plan at that time."

Wang Hao nodded: "Okay."

"Yuheng, cooperate with Wang Hao to calculate the resources needed and notify the Qianyan Army to prepare."

Keqing nodded: "Okay."

"Uncle Tian, ​​I'm sorry to bother you with some of the internal affairs arrangements."

The old man also nodded: "Don't worry."

Ningguang began to issue instructions in an orderly manner.

After all these things are arranged,
Ningguang started talking about other things.

"Should I still be the one to perform the Immortal Invitation Ceremony this year?"

"You come, we can't make it back in time. Tianshu is not convenient to come out, and Yuheng... the impact from the last time was still too great, so you still have to come."

Projection Seven Stars said.

Keqing curled her lips but didn't say anything.
Her question at that time still has an impact today.

Wang Hao just listened quietly, but his eyes were very lively.
[Another famous scene is coming. ]

[Video camera, start! ]

[It's like this, the Emperor just needs to drop it with a 'pop', but it's very troublesome for Wang Hao to find the angle to take the photo. ]

[The formula of the hook groove is still chasing me. 】

[By the way, Wang Hao mentioned the photo of Barbatos before, Morax will definitely be more vigilant this time. ]

[Of course, Lao Deng would also interfere with Wang Hao's photo taking.]

【Lao Deng can’t afford to play this game. 】

【…】

Looking at the comments in the barrage, Wang Hao gradually lost his focus.

This is also because Wang Hao no longer needs to speak in the current meeting. It has always been Ningguang who speaks, and the other seven stars occasionally speak.

After the meeting,
The projections disappeared one by one.

Uncle Tian glanced at Wang Hao and then left.
Ningguang, Keqing, and Wang Hao were left behind.

"How about this kind of meeting, can you get used to it?"

Ningguang asked Wang Hao.

Although this meeting was a questioning of Wang Hao, it was essentially the first time that Wang Hao truly participated in the decision-making of the entire Liyue.

That's why Ningguang asked this question.

She wanted to know whether Wang Hao could adapt to this working condition.

After all, in Ningguang's vision, Wang Hao would eventually be a permanent resident of this conference.

"It's OK. I can understand most of the topics. Some of the things I can't understand are because I don't have enough information."

Wang Hao answered honestly.

Although he was distracted, it didn't mean he didn't listen. On the contrary, he listened to a lot.

There were some things he really didn't understand. After all, compared to Qixing, his understanding of Liyue was definitely not enough.

The barrage can indeed give him a lot of information, even information that Qixing cannot possibly know, but in terms of details, the barrage has always been very general.

When it comes to handling government affairs, details are often the most critical.
So in this kind of meeting, barrage can't help him much.

After hearing Wang Hao's answer, Ningguang nodded slightly: "That's pretty good."

After a pause, Ningguang asked again, "When are you planning to go to the Layered Abyss?"

Wang Hao hesitated for a moment before speaking: "We'll go there in a few days. It shouldn't take much time."

The barrage had already told him about the problems of the Chasm. All he had to do was to go there for an on-site investigation, combine the information he already knew with the situation in the Chasm, and then make a report.

This kind of work doesn't require much effort. The main thing is to hide it from the fools and not let them know.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust the Fatui who accompanied the Thousand Rock Army into the Layered Abyss. Those Fatui came with a spirit of sacrifice, and Wang Hao respects them very much.

It’s just that because of our different positions, we can’t really cooperate on many things.

If only some of the Fatui executives behaved like human beings, the Fatui wouldn't be condemned and beaten everywhere.

"Okay, then you can make your own arrangements. Oh, and your people, Shi Jie and Zhi Yi, will be back from the Mond Embassy this month, probably around the time of the Immortal Invitation Ceremony. Remember to make your arrangements."

This is what we talked about last time, arranging new positions for Shi Jie and Zhi Yi.

"Leave this to me, I will help arrange it." Keqing suddenly said.

She knew that Wang Hao's current identity was somewhat sensitive, and it was difficult to arrange for his subordinates.

It would be better for her to make the arrangements, and after Wang Hao completes his plan, he will take the person back.

Ningguang looked at Keqing and nodded without saying anything else: "Okay."

After finishing the business,
Ningguang stretched lazily: "You two, do you want to stay for dinner?"

Keqing immediately stood up: "No need, let's go back and do it."

She didn't like the food here at Ningguang's place.

Although Keqing was born into a wealthy family, her requirements for food are not high.
Otherwise, there would be no so-called "grilled fish for survival in desperate situations".

On the contrary, Ningguang's background is not good, but her requirements for food are beyond the description of exquisiteness.

The conflict of ideas between Ningguang and Keqing can be seen here.

After hearing what Keqing said, Ningguang was not angry, but nodded with a smile: "Then I won't send you off. Be careful."

Her words seemed to have a hidden meaning.

However, Keqing probably didn't hear it, and she pulled Wang Hao away.

After the two left,
Ningguang showed a trace of fatigue and leaned back in her chair.

"Emperor, what are you thinking... Is this really a test?"

Ningguang fell into deep thought.

As the Heavenly Authority, she naturally has some ideas of her own, but what she needs to consider more is the Emperor's ideas.

This is also the governing philosophy of the Tianquan regime throughout the ages.

The emperor's thoughts are the most important.
But in the past two years, the Emperor has been delegating power, which has led Ningguang to have similar speculations as Wang Hao and Keqing.
Is the Emperor really planning to stop ruling Liyue?

With doubts, Ningguang remained silent for a long time.

……

On the other side, Wang Hao and Keqing returned home.
Speaking of which, not only Wang Hao hadn't returned to the orphanage for several days, Keqing had also been living here these days.

The young boys and girls in Muai have been very affectionate these past two days.

However, I am tired of it until today.

"My family has been urging me to come back for several days. Why don't you come back with me to take a look?" Keqing looked at Wang Hao expectantly.

Our eldest daughter, Yuhengxing, was kidnapped just like that.
It’s a miracle that Keqing’s family could endure for so many days.

Wang Hao was not someone who did not have responsibilities. When he heard Keqing say that she wanted to go home to visit, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'll prepare some gifts."

“No need to bring anything expensive. We have enough at home,” Keqing said.

"I know. How about bringing some good wine from Mond Winery? It was given to me by a friend of Mond. It's not for sale."

When he came back from Mondstadt, he was intercepted by Dawn Winery for a day, and Diluk also gave him some parting gifts, including some fine wines from Dawn Winery, which were not sold outside.

"Drinks? Sure." Keqing nodded.

Although the people of Liyue are not as addicted to alcohol as those in Mondstadt, there are still many people who love wine.

"Anything else to bring? I remember your grandfather seemed to like collecting ancient books?"

As Keqing's lover, Wang Hao had naturally heard Keqing talk about her family affairs.

Wang Hao knew that Keqing's grandfather liked to collect ancient books.

"That was two years ago. Recently, Grandpa's health has started to deteriorate and he doesn't have enough energy."

Speaking of old people, Keqing's expression became a little gloomy.

She has deep feelings for her grandfather.
Compared to her parents, her grandfather took care of her longer.

Little Keqing's worldview was formed under the cultivation of her grandfather.

Even the fact that she fell in love with Wang Hao and gradually fell in love with him was also due to her grandfather's indulgence.
Otherwise, if a young lady fell in love with a poor boy, there would definitely be criticism in her family.

Four years ago, when Keqing and Wang Hao first met, her grandfather had already investigated Wang Hao.

Grandfather believed that Wang Hao had potential and supported Keqing in making friends with Wang Hao, so Keqing's family did not interfere in the affairs between the two.

Of course, now that Keqing has handed herself over, it is unknown whether her grandfather will still support her.

Wang Hao, who had taken advantage of Xiao Baicai, felt a little uneasy.

A feeling of tension that had never appeared before in the face of many powerful enemies now appeared in Wang Hao's heart.
