Chapter 271

~6 min read 1,172 words

Furina sighed in her heart and didn't think much about it.

Not long after, Neuvillette walked back with a file.

He put the file on the cabinet and sat calmly opposite Furina to read the next trial document.

"Lady Furina, you are very strange today; in the past, no matter what happened, you wouldn't miss a grand trial, the farce you call it."

If it were in the past, Furina would have argued with him more or less, but now, Furina just threw the photo to Neuvillette.

With some distress:

"Clorinde, tell me about your intelligence."

"Yes, Lady Furina."

Clorinde nodded, looked at Neuvillette and said softly:

"About a month ago, Liyue erupted with a thunder storm that shook the whole Teyvat; this thunder storm was born very strangely, not like it was naturally generated."

"Later, Lady Furina sent a consultation message to Liyue, but the reply was just a perfunctory 'Rock Archon undergoing tribulation'."

Neuvillette frowned slightly, and there was something strange in his heart.

During this period, the struggle between the upper echelons of Fontaine and the Fortress of Meropide was quite frequent, plus there were some things on the side of the Narzissenkreuz Ordo.

He was almost too busy to leave the opera house.

He knew Furina went to ask Liyue, but he didn't know what the specific reply was.

Rock Archon undergoing tribulation?

What kind of outrageous reason is this?

Neuvillette didn't interrupt Clorinde, and the latter continued:

"Later, we received photos and information from the intelligence organization."

"Liyue suspected that a cultivation descendant had arrived, and that thunder storm was related to that cultivator."

"So I went to Liyue to investigate personally and confirmed..."

"Liyue is really going to start cultivating!"

Neuvillette looked up instantly, staring straight at Clorinde, and the latter handed the cultivation novel published by Liyue to Neuvillette.

Slowly, she told her findings in Liyue in detail again.

Furina, who had already heard it once, still felt it was outrageous at this time, let alone Neuvillette, who had no psychological preparation at all.

I don't know how long it took, Clorinde's voice was a bit hoarse, and she finally finished speaking in detail.

Neuvillette's brows were already tightly locked into a 'chuan' shape.

He kept flipping through the novel in his hand, and after a long while, he closed it and rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

"Martial artist, cultivation, Shushan..."

"Why would the small Teyvat welcome such a strong person?"

"That movement in the Dark Sea we noticed more than half a month ago..."

Clorinde's voice was a bit hoarse, and she said softly:

"Small news says... that Shushan Sect Master needs to catch a batch of gods to fill the newly opened Shushan world."

"Opening a world..."

Neuvillette felt a tremor in his heart.

A strong person who can open a world, this kind of role, why come to Teyvat?

Clorinde thought for a while and added:

"According to reliable news, the Tianshu, Yuheng, and the secretary of the Liyue Liyue Qixing, as well as the Rock Archon and the immortals, have all joined Shushan."

"Rumors in the streets say that someone also saw the Wind Archon enter Shushan."

"If the rumors are true, then Shushan now already has two archons who have joined it."

"If according to the statements in cultivation novels, that Shushan Sect Master has the strength to easily overturn Teyvat."

"Cultivation is also a true path to longevity."

"Therefore, for the Shushan Opening Ceremony in twenty days, hundreds of thousands of people have already signed up."

"By then, Shushan will select thousands of disciples to enter."

"Liyue is already surging."

Neuvillette took a deep breath and said softly:

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Clorinde."

"So, the token on your waist..."

Hearing this, Clorinde nodded.

"This is the proof of passing the initial screening; with this proof, you can enter Shushan to participate in the Opening Ceremony."

"It seems you also have your own opportunity."

Neuvillette examined it and found that there was no magical power, probably just made by people in Liyue Harbor.

"Finished talking, right?"

Furina finally spoke, looking at Neuvillette irritably:

"Hurry up and use your smart brain! Neuvillette!"

"Liyue is already going to start cultivating, we have to have some reaction!"

Neuvillette turned to look at Furina and said softly:

"Reaction? In front of us, there are only two choices: either continue to pretend we don't know, or join in."

"Lady Furina, which one do you want to choose?"

Furina was a bit silent.

This kind of thing, is it still useful to pretend not to know now?

Cultivation, from all angles, is absolutely a good thing.

If it were a normal situation, Furina would have decided to participate in cultivation long ago.

But right now, everything has entered the most critical period.

The five-hundred-year plan has reached the point of landing, what if?

What if cultivation can't solve Fontaine's problem, wouldn't even the plan she had already prepared be gone?

Furina can't afford this responsibility; it seems to be just a decision on whether to join Shushan to cultivate.

In fact, it is a choice related to the life and death of Fontaine.

She can't make this kind of decision casually.

Neuvillette looked at Furina thoughtfully and then opened the novel calmly:

"If this book was released by Liyue officially, then many things on it are worth pondering."

"Cultivators need spiritual energy to practice; everything in the world needs spiritual energy."

"The book says that there are fierce beasts and monsters that evolve by absorbing spiritual energy in the cultivation world."

"Right now, cultivators have appeared, and monsters and fierce beasts are also afraid to be truly existing."

"Besides that, it seems that after that thunder storm, the Primordial Seawater under Fontaine has also become much calmer."

"We can also be considered to have some breathing room."

"I don't know what you are worried about, Lady Furina, perhaps it is the so-called prophecy."

"But you are the Water God, and the final decision is in your hands."

"How to choose, it's up to you, but I still want to say one thing..."

Neuvillette paused and said helplessly:

"It seems we have two choices, but in fact, we only have one."

"According to what Clorinde said, Liyue has no autonomy in the screening for the Shushan Opening Ceremony."

"That is to say, as long as people from other countries meet the requirements and go to Liyue, they need to let them pass."

"Living forever, shining with the sun and moon, I think, no one can refuse."

"Other seven nations will participate in it; we, in fact, have no other choice."

Hearing this, Furina glared at Neuvillette unhappily.

"Then you still let me choose! I have no choice!"

After saying that, Furina sighed and supported her chin with one hand.

"The situation is already like this; cultivation is something we need to try no matter what."

"Clorinde, you passed the assessment; choose a batch of suitable people to go to Liyue to sign up."
