Chapter 665: Public Retirement Is Better Than a Fake Death! (Please Subscribe!!)

Jiang Yan did not know how many times he had told Morax.

If Morax truly intended to use a fake death to test the people of Liyue, he would inevitably fail to get past Jiang Yan, Little Ganyu, and Little Ningguang.

After all, they all knew Morax's identity among mortals: that of Zhong Li, the consultant of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

Even if Morax had told Little Ningguang and the others in advance, what would be the meaning of this test of the Liyue people?

Morax naturally had his own judgment.

He certainly understood the meaning behind Jiang Yan's words.

So regarding whether or not he should fake his death, Morax was actually somewhat undecided.

The best method he could think of was a fake death.

"What? Do you have another method?"

Morax looked at Jiang Yan, his tone carrying a hint of confusion.

"Of course."

Jiang Yan chuckled and said to Morax.

"As for the method, it is naturally the one I mentioned."

"That is to use an open and honorable retirement to announce it to the people of Liyue."

"As for the test you mentioned..."

Jiang Yan smiled slightly.

"First, when we surrounded Snezhnaya with troops before, you saw the cohesion the people of Liyue unleashed."

"I think this can serve as the first answer sheet."

"Then for the second answer sheet, let the people of Snezhnaya continue to be the exam question this time."

Jiang Yan wore a smile, a strange light in his eyes.

"Oh? You mean Snezhnaya..."

Morax narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Jiang Yan.

"Don't look at me like that, Morax. Do you think I don't understand your little schemes?"

"Sending me away while you fake your death—doesn't that just give the Snezhnaya people, who just signed the 'Snow Country Treaty', an opportunity?"

"And this troublemaking by Snezhnaya is exactly your second exam paper for Liyue, isn't it?"

Jiang Yan's single sentence revealed the underlying meaning within Morax's plan.

This was also the reason Morax was still willing to fulfill this contract with Snezhnaya.

He would be delighted if Snezhnaya caused trouble here.

This kid Jiang Yan guessed so accurately?

Morax glanced at Jiang Yan, thoughts flashing in his eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey. I've been with you for so long; do you think I don't know your little schemes?"

Perhaps seeing through Morax's thoughts, Jiang Yan rolled his eyes, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness.

"So, what connection does this have with the method you proposed?"

Morax looked at Jiang Yan with some confusion.

"What I want to tell you is that your idea and my condition can be perfectly merged; they are not in conflict at all!"

Jiang Yan began to explain his plan to Morax.

The content of the plan was actually very simple.

As the Wood Spirit Immortal Lord, Jiang Yan is already in a retired state.

In the eyes of the Liyue commoners, after the Immortal Lord retired, he simply vanished.

Some even believed that the Wood Spirit Immortal Lord, having toiled for the Liyue nation for thousands of years, went into the mortal world after retiring to travel incognito among the people.

Hmm, that statement is indeed not false.

Jiang Yan did use an alias to live as an ordinary human in Liyue.

Furthermore, regarding the other pillar of Liyue, if Morax as the Geo Archon also announced his retirement.

With the Wood Spirit Immortal Lord having retired first, the retirement of the Geo King Emperor would naturally be understood by the people of Liyue.

But if the Geo God suddenly croaked, the commoners would surely panic.

After all, that was the deity who had protected them for thousands of years, the Geo King Emperor!

Assassinated in his own nation.

Wouldn't that be a slap in the face to Liyue?

Moreover, whether it was Morax or the Wood Spirit Immortal Lord, once Liyue was completely handed over to the hands of the Liyue people, it would not affect the contract between Morax and the Tsaritsa of Snezhnaya.

You do your scheming.

Since we have already retired, the crisis of Liyue must naturally be overcome together by the people of Liyue.

The Geo King Emperor and the Wood Spirit Immortal Lord will not interfere in Liyue's affairs.

Hearing Jiang Yan's explanation, Morax immediately fell silent.

The method Jiang Yan proposed.

It actually seemed feasible!

Morax looked at Jiang Yan.

How is it that this guy always has such strange and bizarre ideas?

Thousands of years ago, the garrison farming policy proposed by Jiang Yan had already benefited the entire Liyue.

Including during the period when Jiang Yan governed Liyue, the various policies he proposed were extremely advanced, single-handedly pushing Liyue to the throne of the number one power in Teyvat.

At this thought, Morax's gaze toward Jiang Yan instantly carried a hint of solemnity and seriousness.

"Hey, hey, hey, what kind of look is that?!"

Jiang Yan stared at Morax, somewhat taken aback.

Just now, everything had been perfectly fine, yet now his expression had suddenly turned this serious and solemn.

Did I say something wrong?

Impossible — Morax's expression had been perfectly normal just a moment ago.

"Sigh..."

"Sometimes, I really want to crack open your skull and take a look, to see what on earth is loaded inside that brain of yours."

Morax let out a heavy breath, looked at Jiang Yan, and said with a complicated gaze.

"Ahaha, low-key, low-key~"

Jiang Yan said with a hearty laugh.

After Jiang Yan's earnest persuasion, Morax ultimately agreed with Yan's idea.

After all, according to what Jiang Yan had said.

Feigning death was, after all, only a last resort.
