Chapter 223

Above the Yujing Terrace pavilion.

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

"Master, the Archon..."

Pretending to be solemn, Hearing 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 planned to take 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 as 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; it is precisely when you are needed. You don't need to accompany me during this time; go and help the Qixing of this generation share the heavy burden."

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 toward Yuehai Pavilion immediately.

At such an important time, the Qixing would surely hold a meeting; she only needed to head there.

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

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

"I know."

Watching Ganyu's figure run 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 Qixing were present.

Seeing her arrival, the three little secretaries behind Ningguang—Biwen, Bixiao, and Bishi—all looked at her with the eyes of someone 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 as a result, there was no time to rest at all after sharing it.

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

If this continued, lives would be lost.

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

Of course, Ganyu clearly didn't feel this, but just felt that the three little secretaries' eyes were full of admiration and respect.

Unable to bother with this, she heard Keqing, who had stood up, looking around at the other Qixing with an extremely oppressive aura the moment she arrived.

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

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

Desperate times call for desperate measures; for Keqing, her suggestion was centralization.

Although this would give others some bad ideas, if they didn't do this, they wouldn't be able to 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 immediately.

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

The Tian-Shu coughed lightly: "I am already old and lack the strength; let you young people solve these things."

Keqing nodded and asked decisively: "Tian-Shu abstains; what about you?"

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

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

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

By doing this, they only needed to survive the disaster, and Liyue would be firmly controlled by the Qixing, becoming a nation that truly got rid of gods and was purely ruled by humans.

Therefore, while feeling heavy-hearted, Keqing was also full of anticipation and ambition 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 Hearing 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 abstention; next, they only needed one or two more to agree, and the proposal would be passed.

And then, the Qixing would truly become a force tied together by a single rope.
