Chapter 142

"That would be best."

Miko smiled happily.

"For what it’s worth, I do have some abilities."

All she needed was the Raiden Shogun’s mark on the official Shogunate warship.

With that on the warship, she could safely leave the thunderstorm area without being noticed by the Raiden Shogun.

Inazuma itself was small, and although it was currently under a closed-border policy, if they really didn't purchase corresponding supplies from the outside world,

how could this civil war continue to be fought?

Miko only needed to hide on the ship and cross the Raiden Shogun’s will of thunder to leave Inazuma.

She was also very concerned about the matters in Liyue.

"Where is the letter?"

Kujou Sara held out her hand, and Miko shook her head.

"There isn't one."

"You’re playing with me!"

Kujou Sara stood up indignantly, but this time, Miko finally laughed happily.

"Oh my, General Kujou’s angry expression is truly interesting; my mood will be good for the whole day today."

Seeing that Kujou Sara was about to explode, Miko stopped teasing her.

"As for letters, there really aren't any, but that day the incident happened suddenly, and it was impossible for me to contact Sister Ganyu slowly using letters."

"We communicated using immortal arts; naturally, there are no letters."

Kujou Sara took a deep breath for a while and said in a deep voice:

"Don't waste my time; if you have any information, say it."

Miko shrugged and said faintly:

"I sent a message to Sister Ganyu that day, but Sister Ganyu didn't reply to me for a long time; it wasn't until three days later that Sister Ganyu’s reply arrived."

"Sister Ganyu didn't tell me anything, but her words were very vague, indicating that it was indeed a lightning tribulation that day, but it was not the Geo Archon’s lightning tribulation."

"Now, they are busy with a major event that will change the future of all of Liyue, and even the future of all of Teyvat."

"I don't know any more specifics; Sister Ganyu said it involved Liyue’s secrets."

These words were truly devoid of substance, and Kujou Sara glared at Miko.

"However..."

Miko changed the subject and said again:

"Today, I received a letter from a certain Teacher Zhenyu who often misses deadlines."

"It said that for a long time in the future, he won't be writing books anymore."

"He said that Liyue has changed quite a bit recently, with all kinds of novels about immortality cultivation circulating among the people, and a craze for immortality cultivation is prevailing in Liyue."

"Moreover, people often see unknown existences flying high in the sky on swords, calling them Sword Immortals."

"Teacher Zhenyu is going to seek immortality and visit the Dao."

"General Kujou, tell me, under what circumstances could a nation that originally strictly forbade mortals from visiting immortals..."

"begin to prevail with the theory of immortality cultivation among the people overnight?"

Kujou Sara’s expression changed slightly, and after some thought, she said in a deep voice:

"Public opinion guidance! It’s the Liyue General Affairs Office that made a move!"

Miko didn't answer, just smiled and drank her tea.

Kujou Sara connected the fragmented pieces of information in her heart.

A conjecture that was completely impossible, yet the only possibility, blurted out.

"Liyue has a plan regarding immortality cultivation! If it wasn't the Geo Archon undergoing tribulation, then..."

"Is there someone else who has surpassed the Geo Archon, and Liyue has cooperated with them?"

Miko raised an eyebrow and said with a chuckle:

"They are all conjectures, aren't they?"

"So you are going to Liyue to verify it yourself?"

Kujou Sara asked, and Miko was noncommittal, correcting her:

"Strictly speaking, it should be called seeking immortality, right?"

"How about it? Is this news worth the promise General Kujou made?"

Kujou Sara didn't answer, looking down at the ripples in her teacup.

In any case, what happened that day seemed to be a good thing, but only for Liyue.

But what Ganyu said involved the future of all of Teyvat.

That rigorous secretary to the the Liyue Qixing shouldn't be making empty boasts.

In that case...

Sending someone over in advance to take a look was also a good thing.

Calculating in her heart, after a moment, Kujou Sara stood up abruptly and walked out.

"Three days later, the warship trading supplies will be waiting at the port of Ritou."

Miko didn't answer, just picked up her teacup and toasted Kujou Sara from afar.

After Kujou Sara left, Miko stood up at the edge of the shrine and looked toward the Tenshukaku.

"You, oh you... you really are a fellow who never lets people feel at ease."

"However, this time I must go..."

Recalling the message Sister Ganyu sent her via immortal arts, a spark ignited in Miko’s eyes.

"This might be our only chance... don't blame me..."

"You’ve hidden for so long, it’s time for you to come out and eat some sweets, isn't it? My God..."

In the reply letter Sister Ganyu gave Miko, besides what she told Kujou Sara, there was one sentence left.

"Sister Miko, True Immortals have descended upon Teyvat; the Geo Archon, the Anemo Archon, and the rest of us have all joined the sect."

"Resurrection from the dead, eternal life, holding the sun and moon in one’s hands—all are in Shushan! Come quickly!"

93. Paimon: Eating fierce beast meat makes you stronger? There’s such a good thing!

Regarding Ningguang’s reply letter, the seven nations were all a bit confused by it.

Such a massive thunderstorm, and in the end, it was just understatedly said to be the Geo Archon undergoing tribulation?

Isn't that a bit too much of a farce?

However, just as Alice said, Teyvat was about to be filled with ups and downs.

The current seven nations were mostly unable to take care of themselves.

Even if they were really worried about whether the situation in Liyue would affect them, they had no time to care about these things now.

Inazuma was trapped in the cage of the Vision Hunt Decree and the Closed Border Decree; being able to probe for some information was already the limit.

In Sumeru, Nahida was still being imprisoned, and the Akademiya was focused on the god-making plan; this matter could at most make the Grand Sage anxious.

He wanted to speed up the completion of the god-making plan.

Fontaine still had the prophecy crisis that hadn't been solved; the movements in Liyue, although very serious, were obviously...

The situation in Liyue looked stable, whereas on their side, if the Primordial Seawater couldn't be solved, all of Fontaine would explode.

At most, they would send more people to increase the intensity of probing for information.

Natlan was still at war, in deep water and scorching fire; even if they were worried about this news, they couldn't send forces to investigate.

On the other hand, in Snezhnaya, the Cryo Archon had urged Tartaglia many times to arrive in Liyue as soon as possible to investigate the news.

Overall, the entire seven nations of the mortal world were in a mess, which was truly absurd.

As for Mondstadt...

Jean and the others knew the specific situation, so they weren't very worried.

The top priority was to quickly solve the problem of the Stormterror; it wouldn't do to have Venti and the others come back to solve it again, right?

Angel’s Share tavern.

Today the tavern was closed to guests.

But the guests being entertained were a few rather special ones.

Diluc was mixing drinks behind the bar with a foul face, and Kaeya was sitting opposite him.
