Chapter 206

Arriving at Sumeru City, Jiang Yan naturally met the Dendro Archon, who was in the middle of being busy.

Because King Deshret's death had left the desert region in an ownerless state.

As the God of Grass in Sumeru, this stretch of desert naturally fell under the Dendro Archon's rule.

Whether it was handling the issues of the desert's original residents, or the matter of mutual trade between the rainforest and desert peoples, it all kept the Dendro Archon so busy she couldn't cope.

Even the Sage who came to receive Jiang Yan had been pulled out of the Akademiya by the Dendro Archon gritting her teeth to do so.

After all, as Sumeru's Sage, he was essentially shouldering the state affairs of governing the nation alongside the Dendro Archon; once he was pulled away, all the pressure landed squarely on the Dendro Archon.

"You're here."

Upon seeing Jiang Yan, the Dendro Archon said with a smile.

During the battle of Chenyu Valley, the two of them had met for the first time.

When dealing with the forbidden knowledge left behind after King Deshret's death, it was the two of them who had handled it together.

So Jiang Yan and the Dendro Archon could already be considered fairly familiar friends.

"Mm, what, still getting a headache over the problems King Deshret left behind?"

Jiang Yan stepped forward and came to the Dendro Archon's side.

As for the Sage, after bringing Jiang Yan to the Dendro Archon, he turned around and went off to handle his own state affairs.

There were still far too many affairs waiting for him to deal with.

"Yes, that fellow Alhaitham, he really did act too impulsively."

Even now, the mere thought of King Deshret still made the Dendro Archon quite angry.

"Aiya, just take it slow and handle it."

"It's not like we're out of time."

Jiang Yan found a spot and sat down across from the Dendro Archon.

"So, this time you've come to Sumeru on behalf of Liyue—what exactly is it you want to do?"

Seeing that Jiang Yan looked like someone else's problems weren't his own headache, the Dendro Archon rolled her eyes.

"Don't tell me you came this time just to see me."

"Hehe, why not? We're friends, aren't we!"

Jiang Yan gave a sheepish grin and did not state his purpose first.

"As friends, coming to see you is a perfectly normal thing, right?"

Jiang Yan propped his arm on the table and said with a cheeky grin.

"Don't even try—I don't believe it."

The corner of the Dendro Archon's mouth lifted slightly, but she quickly restrained it.

"Are you going to talk or not? If you won't, then you can go chat with the Sage instead."

"No, no, no!"

Hearing the Dendro Archon's words, Jiang Yan hurriedly said.

Chat with that fox of a Sage?

He didn't want to!

After all, that old fox of a Sage was not easy to fool.

"Well, coming this time, there really are a few things."

Jiang Yan looked at the Dendro Archon.

"I want Mora to flow into Sumeru and be used as the mainstream currency."

The Dendro Archon narrowed her eyes slightly, then said with a light laugh:

"Your schemes are no small matter, Liyue's Tianquan."

As the God of Wisdom, the moment Jiang Yan said those words, she instantly understood what this fellow was scheming.

"I'm not scheming anything—what bad intentions could a little Tianquan like me possibly have?"

Seeing that the Dendro Archon had even changed how she addressed him, Jiang Yan put on a pure, harmless smile.
