Chapter 127: Keqing: Start centralizing power! Who agrees? Who opposes?

"It’s over! That woman just seemed to say she wanted to arrest us!"

Paimon’s expression changed in fright.

At first it was excitement, then surprise, then shock, and then pale.

The Traveler was also stunned. Why did problems always follow her wherever she went?

Arriving in Mondstadt, she was directly confronted by a dragon.

Arriving in Liyue, the Archon died on the spot.

Could it be that she was a jinx?!

While the Traveler was still doubting life, she was pulled by Paimon and ran out in a panic.

At this time, the Millelith hadn't sealed the area yet, so there was still a chance to run out.

The Traveler thought for a while after running: "Wait, we aren't involved, why are we running? Even if we are arrested, we can be released after being questioned clearly."

Paimon was stunned: "That seems right."

Traveler: "..."

She really wanted to knead this emergency food right now.

She didn't have to run originally, but now she had to.

She and Paimon had been seen, and it was clear that it wouldn't be as easy to muddle through as before after being caught.

Maybe she would be locked up for months.

After all, why would an innocent person run? By then, it would be over if she was forced to confess under torture.

Holding back her anger, the Traveler had to carefully run out with this stupid guy.

It was easy to come, but it was obviously impossible to escape.

Yujing Terrace was located in the very center of the city, the most important place. Moreover, even if she successfully ran out, where could she escape to with Liyue sealed?

"I’m really killed by you this time!" The Traveler gritted her teeth and glared at Paimon.

"I was just anxious, don't blame me!"

Paimon muttered awkwardly, and then said with a bitter face: "It seems like the deposit we paid for the inn can't be refunded either."

Traveler: "..."

When is it, and you’re still thinking about that bit of Mora? You really are a money-grubber.

Above the pavilion at Yujing Terrace.

As early as when Ganyu turned her helpless and confused pretty face over, Luo Li had already pretended to have a surprised and heavy expression.

"Master, the Archon, he..."

Pretending to be heavy, Luo Li frowned and said: "There is a hidden story. Morax is not someone who would fall so easily."

Ganyu never expected that she had originally intended to take her Master to see the Archon later.

The old friend who hadn't seen each other for so many years would surely be very happy, but who knew that just after her Master "resurrected," the Archon died.

"Wait for me to investigate. This matter won't end so easily."

Changing the subject, he continued to Ganyu: "Now that this has happened, Liyue will face twists and turns, and it is precisely when you are needed. You don't have to accompany me during this time. Go and share the heavy burden with this generation of the Liyue Qixing."

Before Eula and Noelle could react, Ganyu nodded heavily.

"I’m sorry, Master, I can't accompany you."

Bidding farewell to the four, she rushed to Yuehai Pavilion immediately.

At such an important time, the the Liyue Qixing would surely hold a meeting, and she only needed to go there.

Sure enough, before they even left the pavilion, the Millelith came to meet them.

"Lady Ganyu, the the Liyue Qixing notify you to go to..."

"I know."

Watching Ganyu’s figure running away in a hurry, the Millelith soldier thought to himself that he hadn't finished speaking yet.

Before long, Ganyu arrived at Yuehai Pavilion amidst the salutes of the heavily guarded Millelith.

When she entered the conference hall, she found that all the the Liyue Qixing were present.

Seeing her arrival, the three little secretaries behind Ningguang—Baiwen, Baixiao, and Baishi—all looked at her with the eyes of seeing a savior.

Heaven knows what they had experienced in the past two days. A few days ago, Lady Keqing said to share a little of Ganyu’s work, but after sharing it, there was no time to rest at all.

The three of them had slept for less than six hours in total over the past two days.

If this continued, people would die.

They didn't feel it before, but only after truly taking over did they know how heavy the work Ganyu usually did was.

Of course, Ganyu obviously didn't feel it, just thinking that the eyes of the three little secretaries were full of admiration and respect.

Unable to care about this, she heard Keqing, who had stood up, look around at the other the Liyue Qixing with an extremely oppressive aura as soon as she arrived.

"At this juncture, I propose that the the Liyue Qixing take over Liyue by force, coordinate all eight gates under it, and consolidate all power."

The Archon was murdered. If they didn't act quickly, it was estimated that chaos would soon arise.

Strong medicine for severe illness. For Keqing, her suggestion was to centralize power.

Although this would give others some bad ideas, if they didn't do this, they wouldn't get anything good out of indecision.

Looking around, Keqing raised her proud chin and said: "Who agrees? Who opposes?"

Ningguang was silent and didn't speak at first.

Without a doubt, she had also thought about it and considered various methods, but in terms of quick results, Keqing’s method was the most direct.

The Tian Shu coughed lightly: "I am old and powerless. Let you young people solve these things."

Keqing nodded and asked decisively: "Uncle Tian abstains. What about you?"

Ganyu was a bit surprised to see this scene. According to her assumption, the one who should have made this request was Ningguang.

She hadn't expected that by comparison, Lady Keqing was actually the iron-blooded faction.

Of course, for Keqing, who had an upright personality and didn't like twists and turns, it was definitely a superior strategy.

By doing so, they only needed to survive the disaster, and then Liyue would be firmly controlled in the hands of the the Liyue Qixing, becoming a nation that truly got rid of gods and was purely governed by people.

Therefore, while feeling heavy, Keqing was also full of expectations and ambitions for the future.

"The opportunity for change has arrived. The order maintained for a thousand years is about to be rewritten. This historic moment will be rewritten by us! What is your answer?"

The support she got from Luo Li, as well as her vision for the future, made the aura she radiated at this moment suppress everyone for a time.

Ningguang’s eyes flickered, and after a long while, she finally spoke.

"I agree with Keqing’s proposal."

From this moment on, she also had to learn to adapt to a Liyue that had lost the Archon, abandon the merchant’s thinking, and instead think for a nation.

The remaining few looked at each other.

Two votes in favor, one vote abstained. Next, they only needed one or two more to agree, and the proposal would be passed.

Afterward, the the Liyue Qixing would truly become a force tied together by a single rope.
