Chapter 575
Being the first time to participate in the Lantern Rite five hundred years later in Liyue, Hearing Luo Li couldn't help but feel emotional.
"Compared to the impression at the beginning, it has finally changed a lot."
In his sight, compared to the daytime, the liveliness level had risen to another level.
The shops and vendors passing by almost increased geometrically.
Ganyu, who was beside him, smiled and replied: "After all, the times are finally changing; now even the Geo Archon has retired behind the scenes, and this city has gradually changed from the contract between immortals and humans to this appearance today."
"A city of human rule, as time passes, no matter where it is, it will eventually reach this step."
Hearing Hearing Luo Li words seemed to be mixed with some kind of historical trend.
Ganyu could understand a little bit, while Shen He didn't have much feeling about this.
It seems that whether Liyue is ruled by gods or humans makes no difference to her.
Looking at the two women who seemed to understand but didn't, Hearing Luo Li smiled lightly, without the idea of explaining.
The Seven Archons of Teyvat are not true gods after all, and cannot resist the wear and tear brought by time; if history is lengthened, even gods will eventually be exhausted.
It seems that Venti is much smarter, starting to let humans govern themselves more than two thousand years ago, and he has always disappeared from human vision.
Not really.
It can only be said that the ideas of the two are completely different; Venti didn't intend to intervene from the beginning, letting the people of Mondstadt explore a system suitable for themselves in blood and tears.
Doesn't he know what tragic tragedies will be born without the guidance of gods?
Of course not.
Therefore, it is not wrong to say that Venti's personality is slightly cruel; of course, there is also the reason for him falling into a deep sleep.
On the other side, relatively speaking, Zhong Li seems to have held power for thousands of years, yet the people of Liyue have always been on the right path.
Under the gaze of gods, it is even more impossible to give birth to the dark age of the Lawrence family.
Many mistakes have been corrected one by one, until the people of Liyue can give birth to the buds of self-governance, and then he retires from his position at the right time, returning the power to govern this city to the people of Liyue themselves.
Compared to Venti's concept of survival of the fittest, Zhong Li is more like a head of the family.
It's just that he is not lacking in courage; when it's time to go, he walks away without any attachment.
After finishing his emotion, Hearing Luo Li withdrew and passed through Yuehai Pavilion with his two disciples from Feiyun Slope, arriving at the messenger point leading to the Jade Chamber beside the Yiyan Hall.
There was no need to explain the situation at all; the moment he saw Ganyu, he took the initiative to send the three to the Jade Chamber.
After a while, when they rose from the ground to the sky.
Hearing Luo Li stood on the Jade Chamber, looking down at Liyue Harbor, which was a different kind of shocking beauty compared to standing in it.
The spreading candle dragon stretched from Mount Tianheng to Guyun Stone Forest, bounded by Qingce Village, and then swayed to Yaoguang Shoal.
The cross-shaped long dragon was eye-opening, and the entire Liyue Harbor burst out with completely different charm as night fell.
This is a beauty completely different from the daytime.
"So beautiful!" Ganyu couldn't help but praise.
The Lantern Rite is held every year, but this year is even more grand than in previous years.
I don't know if it's because of the person in charge, Keqing.
"Yeah, let's go, let's go find Ningguang first."
Hearing Luo Li withdrew his gaze and refocused his attention on the Jade Chamber.
The place where the three arrived at the beginning was the deck of the Jade Chamber, and at this moment, quite a few people had gathered.
A rough look showed about twenty or thirty people, divided into five or six tables, all of whom were big figures with faces in Liyue Harbor.
Rich merchants and high officials, none were not inside.
Besides that, there was also the head of the Yun-Han Opera Troupe, Yun Jin.
She, Yelan, whom she had met a few days ago, and Lumine and Paimon were at a table.
Seeing three people suddenly appear, most people cast surprised gazes.
They knew Ganyu, but Hearing Luo Li and Shen He were very unfamiliar, and people whispered from time to time to discuss why the two were there.
After all, being able to accept Ningguang's personal invitation, their status was naturally special; if they could make friends, it would have unexpected benefits for themselves.
At worst, making a few more friends would never hurt.
"Hearing Luo Li! You guys are here too!"
Seeing the three for a moment, Paimon greeted them first.
After they solved the small problem in Qingce Village, they returned immediately, but didn't find Keqing, who issued the task, but instead found the secretary of the Yuehai Pavilion—Huixin.
As the daughter of the Tianshu Star, Huixin was surprised that they hadn't gone to the Jade Chamber so late and were still wandering in the city, so she told them about Ningguang inviting them to participate in the Jade Chamber banquet.
This was the reason why the two were here.
Coming to Lumine and Paimon's side, Hearing Luo Li greeted the two and examined Yun Jin on the side.
The girl was wearing a costume, and her military uniform was eye-catching.
"Oh, are you going on stage?" Hearing Luo Li asked.
"Mr. Hearing Luo Li guessed right; in response to Lady Ningguang's invitation, I was invited here to sing a song."
"Ningguang's face is indeed big."
Yun Jin pursed her lips and smiled, rarely playful: "After all, the Yun-Han Opera Troupe still has to make a living in Liyue; if I offend Lady Ningguang, wouldn't I be cutting off my own way."
She blinked, and the girl's coquettish cuteness was obvious.
"Miss Yun is joking; my invitation is sincere, and I am not as bad as you said."
At this time, Ningguang, who should have been talking to the rich merchants, didn't know when she came to the group, defending with a faint smile, not angry at all for being teased.
At this moment, Ningguang made Hearing Luo Li look sideways; wearing a blue and white cheongsam, her charm was further displayed.
As for why the outside world said the Tianquan Star was good at dancing and graceful, at this moment Ningguang would perfectly practice this evaluation.
"Mr. Hearing Luo Li can come to visit, my small place is really shining."
After replying to Yun Jin, Ningguang smiled and looked at Hearing Luo Li.
From various news inferences, plus he didn't deliberately hide it, his identity had long been no secret among the high-level of Liyue.
Hearing Luo Li didn't commit, and asked: "Have the others arrived?"
"Naturally arrived, waiting for Mr. Hearing Luo Li in the inner cabinet; you are the last one to arrive."
